Used on my 1999 Dodge Intrepid's CURT 12006 Class II 1.25 in. Receiver Hitch: 350lbsTW/3500 lbs GTW. I use this Curt Class II Drawbar - 3-7/8" Rise - 11-1/4" Long - 3,500 lbs to tow a 3,500+ GTW dual axle trailer. I have used it with the trailer FULLY loaded and it performs EXCELLENT. You have to make sure the trailer is loaded correctly so as not to put too much down force on the tongue/drawbar. I was skeptical that the SOLID 1.25" bar would not take the load, but it is super strong. I chuck it in the trunk when not in use to protect passerby's shins, but it sticks out far enough clear the Intrepid's bumper, and is solid with a 2" ball (required a bushing). etrailer got it out fast at a good price! I would totally purchase this again from them.

I stand by my review completely. Super rigid drawbar and powder coating has held up well. Not much to go wrong with it and I am still amazed at its strength.



by:

Every part excellent quality. Perfect fit, all parts were exact for my vehicle. Watched the video on youtube for wiring and being a mechanic for over 50 years was able to connect signal lights all from driver side of harness. Instead of leaving plug inside trunk I wired through the rubber outlet to the back of the hitch ready for use. Very happy highly recommend etrailer.

Very happy with products all high quality feel confident using. Thanks



by:

It was the perfect size for my 2018 Chevy Cruze, coming up around the rear bumper with plenty of room yet could tow over 2,000 lbs. Trailer height to trailer hitch height was perfect.



by:

Very good ball mount. I have it on a 2012 Toyota Corolla S with 16" wheels. If I had to do it over again, I'd get a lower rise since the 3-1/8" rise on this model seems a little high for my car, but no big deal. I might also get a little shorter one since this mount is 11-1/4" long, but again no big deal. I'm keeping ball mount, it's also good protection if I ever get rear-ended in my small car (it's happened before and my truck sustained no damage whatsoever thanks to ball mount--unlike the car that rear-ended my truck).



by:

Not much to say! really ! I had ordered another hitch for a certain height so I could have clearance of the hitch from the rear door of my Toyota Rav4, the size was perfect, the Mini-Camper-Utility trailer sits 1 inch off level tilting forward , when loaded it sits perfectly level, I can open the rear door 3/4's its full swing, It came in the post wonderfully wrapped, came on time, I have made purchases from etrailer in the past with spectacular service, a follow up e mail that, should I have any problems it would be taken care of. I highly recommend etrailer to all, and a big thank you to Ms. Ashley E. for a spectacular service. Jim Raymond Massachusetts

Awesome drawbar! The order process was smooth and flawless from beginning to end. Shipment was fast and accurate. I would highly recommend etrailer for all of your trailering needs!

I’ve used this product several times over the past year and it continuously works flawlessly!



by:

My hitch receiver is low to the ground on a Honda Civic. This raised my hitch ball about 4" so my kayak trailer tows level, and is now less likely to bottom out on a driveway.



by:

Ordered all three items on 3/16/15 and it was delivered 4 days later (3/20/15) as promised. Can't say enough about what excellent customer service this order system was and very simple to use. The promised date of delivery was right on the money.
I've already installed the hitch and wire assembly and the instructions were very easy to follow.
Thank you



by:

Installed the drawbar...fits easily into the receiver and looks to be a good height when combined with the C12252 Curt trailer hitch receiver on the 2012 Impala. Didn't rate excellent because I haven't used it to tow yet.



by:

I received this receiver about 5:00 PM only three days after ordering it. I called the customer and he delivered his car at 7:00 PM. I installed the the receiver, the taillight converter and wiring, called the customer back and He picked it up ready to tow his trailer by 8:15 PM. That is amazing. Flawless fit and function. That is how to satisfy a customer.



by:

got it in yesterday, very very fast shipping and delivery.
I am well pleased with the product, cannot complain about it craftsmanship at all, very well built.

I added a rattle reducer along with this, I do recommend anyone putting a rattle/noise reducer on along with not only this but with any hitch insert.

plain and simple they all will rattle and make noise..

but overall I recommend this to anyone... you will not be disappointed.

Mine is on my 2016 KIA Soul, 2.0 L
I have one of the Scoota Trailers designed to haul my mobility scooter...



by:

Great!!! etrailer has great selection, prices and quality. I always buy from them! I bought Chevy Malibu class one hitch to pull our jet ski, no issues, still have it installed!



by:

This item is what I was looking for. I needed a longer ball mount and this fits the bill. It is well made and it fits good, it's not sloppy in the receiver like some other brand names. Shipping was fast.



by:

Fits well but did not have the pin for the receiver extension. I purchased both extension and hitch from this site and would have figured it would be complete.

The pin and clip for this ball mount is available as # F-4.



by:

This drawbar is exactly what I needed. It attaches to the hitch with no noticeable issue, and clears the rear bumper. Excellent!



by:

Good product, sturdy and made out of solid steel. Before ordering I suggest measuring the distance from the hitch pin hole to the back of the bumper. The first ball mount I received was unfortunately not long enough



by:

Drawbar came as described and fit the 1.25" receiver without problem. Purchase was on the doorstep earlier than delivery time estimate when ordered. This was my second purchase with absolutely no issues. A great place to do business.



by:

Received the hitch components promptly and in excellent condition. Followed the video instructions and had a successful installation without a "hitch". The sales tech was very helpful.



by:

I just got my order,Katherina could not have been better,ever thing was just like it
should be,When I call to ask about the hitch I was not going to order that day but
she was so helpful that I ordered then,it took three days to get here,I'm putting
it on a 2007 Chev. Impala,I don't have a camera to take any pictures but I know it
will fit fine.I will be telling all my friends about you. Thank you Katherina

by:

Ease of install--Great. Worse part exhaust lowering. Other than that product is great. Wire harness install- a five year old could do it. very satisfied will always come to you, have now got my business.



by:

I have a small cargo trailer and this works great, the right length and rise.



by:

Great Quality and Price - directions and online video was perfect and easy to follow for installation.



by:

Fast shipping, everything I ordered arrived in perfect shape. I would definitely recommend etrailer.com to my friends and family.



by:

The product was shipped quick. The hitch is an excellent piece of equipment, looks great. Thank you for your continued quality and customer service.



by:

My only complaint is that I didn't know what size the hole is for the pin, so I ended up ordering the wrong size pin. Other than that, it is a good solid product.

  • Recommended Extended Ball Mount With Rise To Keep Trailer From Hitting The Ground
    It sounds like you need a new ball mount. We do have ball mounts that have a rise, which would lift the coupler of your trailer and possibly give you the clearance you need. If you have a 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receiver opening and need about 3-1/8 inches of additional clearance I recommend part # C45522. This measures 11-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the ball mount hole which should give you plenty of additional room to keep from mashing your hand. If you have...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2008 Volvo C70 Convertible
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11065 is the only available trailer hitch that is confirmed to fit your 2008 Volvo C70 Convertible. This is a Class I hitch that will provide a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. If you are looking to pull a lightweight trailer, I recommend checking the towing capacities for your vehicle as listed in the owner's manual to ensure you stay under its limit. I have attached the installation details for you to check out. For trailer lighting, I recommend installing...

  • Correct Ball Mount for Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver 11307 on 2010 Cadillac CTS Sedan
    For a Class I hitch that fits your 2010 Cadillac CTS such as the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11307, the hitch manufacturer specifies the exact ball mount that you will need to use with the hitch. For this hitch, the one that Curt specifies will be plenty long enough at 11-1/4 inches long, the Curt Drawbar # C45522. With this ball mount you will also need the Pin and Clip # C21410 and a hitch ball (which depends on the size of your trailer's coupler), either 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # C40001...

  • Trailer Hitch for a 1998 Ford Taurus with Dual Exhaust
    I spoke with my contact over at Curt and he said that for a 1998 Ford Taurus with dual exhaust trailer hitch # C12232 will fit. If you plan on doing some towing the correct ball mount is # C45522 and for a 1-7/8 inch ball use # C40001 and for a 2 inch ball use # C40018. For trailer wiring use # HM40565 if you have a sedan and use # HM48895 if you have a wagon.

  • Trailer Hitch And Wiring Recommendation For 2012 Chevrolet Cruze
    From the research I found, the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze has a towing capacity of 1,000 lbs. The Curt Hitch, part # C11282, will work for you. This is a Class l hitch and has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. All non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt. To tow a trailer you will need ball mount # C45522, pin and clip # F-4, and a...

    With the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11133 on your 2013 Chrysler 200, Curt recommends using one of the following ball mounts. First is the Curt Class II Drawbar # C45522 with either a 1-7/8" Ball # C40001 or 2" Ball # C40018. Or you can choose one of their Euro Style Ball Mounts with a 1-7/8" # C45591 or 2" # C45592 ball.

  • Can the Curt Trailer Hitch C11371 be Used to Tow a Trailer with a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11371 can absolutely be used to tow a U-Haul trailer. However, the towing capacity of your Cruze is only 1,000 lbs so the trailer cannot exceed this figure. I was able to look up a few of the U-Haul trailers and there are some under this capacity. In addition to the above trailer hitch you will also need a trailer wiring harness like the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56214, a ball mount like the Curt Drawbar part # C45522, and...

  • Trailer Hitch fit for a 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP
    I checked with Curt and they do not have any fit exclusions for the Curt hitch part # C12225 for the GXP models of the 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix so it would work well on your GXP model. For a ball mount you would want the part # C45522 and then for a ball part # C40001 for a -7/8 inch ball or part # C40018 for a 2 inch ball. For trailer wiring you would want to go with the # 56076.

  • What Size Trailer Can Be Towed With The Draw-Tite Hitch # C12051 On A 2008 Chevrolet Malibu
    The Curt Class II 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # C12051, will fit a 2008 Chevrolet Malibu. It is a 1-1/4 inch hitch with a gross towing weight capacity of 3500 lbs. The 2008 Malibu will only have a towing capacity of 1000 lbs. So the vehicles towing capacity is what will limit you to how much you can tow.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver for Towing With a 2015 Kia Cadenza
    I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12118 on your 2015 Kia Cadenza. This hitch has a tongue weight rating of 350lbs and 3,500lb trailer rating. You will want to ensure that you do not exceed the weight ratings given by the manufacturer for your vehicle. This will not require you to change your rear shocks. If your suspension is sagging you should check that the weight on the trailer is distributed properly across the trailer and you do not have to much tongue weight. You typically...

    The most popular hitch for a 2013 Chrysler 200 Sedan or Convertible is the Curt Class I trailer hitch # C11133. I wouldn't recommended using a cargo carrier to carry an electric wheelchair with a Class I hitch because your maximum tongue weight is 200 pounds. Based on the wheelchair carriers weighing roughly 90 pounds and electric wheelchairs around 200 pounds it will exceed the 200 pound maximum tongue weight. The best option to carry the electric wheelchair is by a trailer because...
