Perfect for light-duty towing, this custom, vehicle trailer hitch receiver features fully welded, gloss powder coated steel construction. Drawbar sold separately.I needed a tow hitch and bike rack to haul my 60 lb. ebike on the back of my Kia Spectra. This Curt 1 1/4" tow hitch does the job. I had a local garage install the unit since I'm not mechanically inclined. I also purchase a Saris bike rack that is designed to hold 2 ebikes, 60 lbs each. I noticed the bike and rack will wobble or torque from side to side a little bit when I make a sharp turn or drive over pot holes. To help remedy my fears of anything breaking i purchased 2, 61 inch stabilizing straps, one for each end of the bike rack. There is still just a little bit of sway (which I later figured is just inherent in any tow hitch/bike rack) but I know it is limited and no more worries. All told, I'm very happy and satisfied with these products.
The trailer hitch was installable as directed. It took me approx 1 hr (also expected duration noted in the manual for novice like me).
The longest duration in the process took in removing the rubber guards to lower the exhaust tailpipe.
I did not use a power tool but used a couple of wrenches from set (the original bolts were smaller than the ones in the package for installation). It took longer that way too. I also think it would be quicker if it be newer vehicle without the ton of undercarriage debris to clean first ??
Overall, looks good now, hope it works for the bike rack
Hitch has not provided any problems since I installed it last year. Self installation was fairly straight forward with no issues. I have only carried a small cargo rack and a bike rack using the hitch so far. Needed it for carrying extra stuff while the car it's installed on is being towed by my motor home. I would recommend a Curt hitch to anyone that needs a quality product at a reasonable price.
Best purchase I ever made it saved my car from a rear end crash I put a hitch on it and as weird as it sounds having a hitch on a small 4 cylinder economy car it save my whole rear end, and after the impact it still is straight as the day I got it I carry my 2 mountain bikes every weekend and I love it. And I installed it my self it was super easy to do and trust me if I can install it so can you.
Yes, the 11679 hitch arrived today. And yes, I'm happy to report that it's the correct hitch for my car. YAY! Here's why I say that. I have to admit that I originally ordered this hitch from from another online source since it included the ball mount with the hitch as a set (Curt p/n 116793) for $114. BUT, I received the wrong hitch from them TWICE. The first was for a Ford Fusion, and the second was for a Toyota Prius..... too bad my car is a Kia Spectra. And then the third attempt was going to take 1-3 months to arrive, but I wasn't willing to wait that long. I had them refund my money and then I went to where I actually looked for my hitch first - etrailer.com.
And thanks again for the free and extremely fast shipping.
It look good is as described should work ok
