My Iowa 2009 Camry has been in a garage it's whole life, so, that helped a lot.
Used [online] etrailer video for ease of work. I took longer than they did as I had to work a bit to de-rust a couple of female bolt threads enough to get a bolt on easily.
by: Martin11/13/2023
Actual shipping, hitch arrival was days more than what was estimated/advertised. The box had substantial damage to the extent that the hitch was sticking out of one end of the box.

We bought this 1.25" reciver hitch last year to accommodate a Kuat bike rack. The install was easy, the mounting holes lined up perfectly on our Camry, and the black painted hitch finish still looks new. We are very happy with this purchase.

Oh no. I am sorry that it arrived this way, I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you. Often the hitch can be touched up with a rust resistant paint like Rustoleum to prevent rust.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver was delivered on time and arrived in very good condition.
I had watched the on line installation video to get an idea of the steps needed. This confirmed that I could install it with the pre existing weld nuts and support provided by Toyota. The actual instructions provided with the hitch were sufficient without the video.
I would recommend this hitch for this vehicle. Very simple and easy even while laying underneath the back bumper. No lift required.

Love the 1 1/4 receiver hitch on my 2010 Lexus ES350. Don't see many Lexus' with trailer hitch but I absolutely love it for hauling my bikes off the back with my Kuat carrier. Ground clearance is excellent as are aesthetics!
by: Bryce C.06/03/2018
2011 Toyota Camry
Good clear directions from Curt, and a GREAT video from etrailer.com. Only issue in install was the weld nut in the sheet metal support of the muffler hanger was rusted on for me. Had to use a dremel to grind it off, but that is typical here in Wisconsin with road salt, and a seven year old car. Hitch and hardware was great.
The one other annoyance was that the UPC needed for the Curt rebate was stuck to the hitch from Curt so I had to take it off with care for my rebate. Well worth the rebate.

Overall good product with good hardware. Only issue I really had was directions saying a 45 minute install? Took me 3-4hours since I live in Wisconsin, things were rusty.

The hitch was so easy to install! Took my husband forty minutes. He loves its beefy feel - should outlast our Camry, itself. Now we can make quick trips to the dump and haul wood from the woodshed up to the porch...

TWO MAN JOB! Hitch went on just as described, but definitely NOT a one man job. Prior to purchase I was having a hard time finding info anywhere online about installation on '07 Camry with DUAL EXHAUST. Bought hitch anyway, and can verify that it DOES WORK with dual exhaust setup. Exhaust system was well enough supported that we did not need to use additional support after removing bolts. Be sure hitch brackets are sandwiched BETWEEN frame and exhaust brackets when installing. Excellent design of hitch ensures there is minimum clearance between bottom of bumper and top of hitch, so you get maximum road clearance. Have not pulled anything with it yet, but design looks really SOLID with four bolts in each the two brackets.
by: Robert 09/25/2023
Your service is great. The order arrived today, just a couple days after I ordered. I’m getting it installed this week and looking forward to using it with my utility trailer.
by: Joshua 05/24/2023
2009 Lexus ES 350
Muffler hangers were the literal hang-up on this install. WD-40 and a pair of wide mouth pliers did the trick. Put one end of the pliers on the flared pin and the other on the back of the rubber. When you squeeze the pliers it will pull the pin through due to the lubrication.
Hot tip: Start the thread one by one on the bolts without tightening up too much. This will allow you to still wiggle the hitch for aligning the remaining bolts. This is a really solid product!

I'm not an auto mechanic; I'm just a simple school teacher, but mounting the hitch receiver was not terribly difficult. I watched the online video, jacked my Camry off the ground, unscrewed all the existing bolts, and put the hitch receiver on without much trouble. An hour and a half later and I was done. Truly a perfect fit. It looks like a professional instal, and I feel accomplished.
by: Ian Mac11/18/2020
Solid hitch. I’ve been lugging my bikes around for the last year with no issues at all. Highly recommended. Etrailer also has great service and prices. Lifetime customer.

Shipping was very fast. Product was easy to install and mounted up to strong part of the car's body where the factory had placed weld nuts. The hitch is attractive beneath the bumper and I gave it a coat of wax!

It didn't fit the Lexus. The installer had to elong the holes on one side to complete the installation.
Jenny N.
2/10/2023
It sounds like that the side brackets were knocked out of alignment which is why the bolt holes are not lining up. This can happen while in transit to our facility or to you. We do have a great FAQ that provides ways to move the brackets back into alignment so the hitch can be installed.

The product is perfect. Installation was a breeze, after watching the video's. Installation time was estimated at 45 Min. I had it installed in 30. The packaging is not very good. When the receiver was left on my doorstep, it had burst through the end of the box causing some minor scratching. (It is going to spend the rest of its life under my car, so I doubt a few scratches are worth a reduced rating). I have towed a 5x8 utility trailer with it several times, and it has performed perfectly. No drilling necessary, the only specialty tool required is a torque wrench.

After a year and heavy use, the hitch is holding up well. I still recommend this product to anyone that is looking for a receiver hitch for light duty use on their car.

etrailer provides a good service. the product and wiring sellection was done right . Customer service ordering shipping, tracing was excellent.
I had the trailer hitch installed on our 2007 Camry by my auto mechanic.
His comment was the wiring was a little more "complicated" than other installations
the total installation time was 2 1/2 hours

the trailer hitch is still very reliable. My only suggestion would be to add the plastic plug as part of the hitch package.

Great product, took a little longer for me to install because of a factory misaligned bolt hole, but would fit perfectly for others.
Pulling a utility trailer just fine with my Camry.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch
- Recommend a Trailer Hitch To Carry Bike Rack on My 2011 Toyota Camry HybridThe CURT Trailer Hitch, # 12343, will fit a 2011 Toyota Camry Hybrid. The CURT Hitch # 12343 is a Class II 1-1/4 inch receiver and includes a drawbar, pin and clip. The strap in question is the CURT Bike Rack Strap with Cambuckle, # 18050. CURT warranty requires, all non-trailer loads including such things as bike racks and cargo carriers, use a support strap. To maintain the warranty on the hitch, the strap will need to be used. Since you will only be using the hitch for a bike rack,...
view full answer... - Is A 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Available For A 2009 Toyota CamryOn the 2009 Toyota Camry, all of the hitches available are Class II 1-1/4 inch hitch openings. The hitches will have a 3,500 lb. Gross Towing Weight and a 300 lb. or 350 lb. Tongue Weight. There is not a 2 inch hitch available for your vehicle, because a 2 inch hitch has to be rated as a Class III and a Class IV hitch. That means that the vehicle would have to be able to tow weights ranging from 3,500 lbs. to 12,000 lbs. The frame on your Toyota Camry would not be able to handle towing...

The hitches use essentially the same design, the Hidden Hitch, part # 90152 (no longer available), does include a drawbar and pin and clip if you will be doing any towing. However, these two hitches have a tongue weight capacity of 300 pounds, not 350 like the Curt and Valley. If you will not be doing any towing, or your bike rack or cargo carrier load is under 300 pounds, I would not worry about it. The Curt hitch, part # 12343, also includes...

This hitch does come with all of the hardware needed to install your hitch. If you're going to be towing with this hitch, you'll also need a wiring harness, ball mount and hitch ball. For the wiring I recommend using the Tekonsha # 118405 because I've found that the Tekonsha harness converter boxes are a bit more reliable over time. For the hitch ball I...

I was able to find this information in section 2-5 of the vehicle's online owner's manual. I recommend checking your owner's manual to confirm this information. The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2009 Lexus ES 350 is the Curt Class II Receiver Hitch # C12343. This hitch will not require any drilling for installation. The Draw-Tite # 36416 will require drilling into the trunk pan of your ES 350. Both...

- Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For a 2008 Toyota Camry HybridI recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12343 for your 2008 Toyota Camry hybrid. This receiver is going to be the easiest to install as it is custom fit and does not require any drilling to mount the receiver. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118482 will allow you to control the lights on small trailers you may tow.

view full answer... - Can My 2010 Toyota Camry Class 2 Hitch Tow a 1,720 lb TrailerGreat question Henry! For any and all towing setups you'll be limited by the least rated part of the towing gear. Your 2010 Toyota Camry being equipped with a Class II hitch with a 3,500 lb tow rating, like the Curt # C12343, is great, but when I looked up the online owner's manual for your vehicle it listed your vehicle as only being able to tow up to 1,000 lbs. So in your case the vehicle is the limiting factor at 1,000 lbs and you'll want to avoid towing a trailer weighing over that. This...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch for a 2007 Toyota Camry HybridCurt trailer hitch # C12343 is indeed listed as a fit for your 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid. It also fits non-Hybrids which is probably why it looks different than the video. Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such as a bike rack or car go carrier) per their warranty requirements. If you want to avoid having to use a stabilization strap then go with Draw-Tite hitch # 36416. It does not have that requirement.

I attached the install video you referenced. It will also be accurate for your V6 Camry. To complete your towing setup you may be interested in the following: Draw-Tite Ball Mount, part # 36071 1-7/8 Inch Hitch Ball, part # 19256 2 Inch Hitch Ball, part # 19258 T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118405

I spoke with my contact at Draw-Tite and he says once the hitch is installed, the end plate and vehicle frame do not lose support. He said the trailer hitch ties into both end plates and the trunk pan so the support bracket is not needed. If you would like a trailer hitch that will mount to the end plate and the vehicle...

The good news is that these are Class II hitches which gives you more options and weight capacity compared to most Class I hitches.

- How to Pick Out the Correct Ball Mount for a 2011 Toyota Camry to Tow Trailer LevelI attached an FAQ article to the right on how to pick out the correct rise/drop ball mount for a towing setup so that a trailer can be towed level. But based on the two dimensions you gave me you will need a ball mount with a 4 inch rise. For that you would want the part # 3594. As long as your trailer coupler takes a 2 inch ball the # 19258 would work well with the # 3594 so that your trailer can be towed level.
