This trailer hitch has helped us tremendously with getting our gifts back last Christmas and again this year. I am active duty military and we always get way too many gifts from our family when we come home! If it weren’t for this trailer hitch our children wouldn’t be able to play with all their gifts throughout the year! Thanks for following up!

I was convinced by the many reviews submitted and the great instructions and video on the website to get this hitch. The initial installation was a breeze but my progress ground to a long slog trying to tighten the bolts. Certainly not the hitches fault.... the amount of space to successfully tighten the bolts in the Outlander sport made it extremely difficult. They certainly crammed in a lot of material in the area. Admittedly, I didn't have advanced tools that could let me get into those nooks and cranny's but it went from 15 minutes to about an hour and a half. In the end, I managed to tighten the bolts and OMG this thing looks perfect. Looks like it's stock. The material and paint job are top notch and super high quality, especially for the price. Thank you Etrailer!!!! Great product and most importantly great intruction materials and video!

Fast shipping, well packaged. Easy to install with instructions supplied and video on website. Installation time was around 1 hour until I gathered all my tools and put the car up on ramps. Really straight forward with only having to install with 6 bolts. I love the tubular shape as it looks sharp on vehicle. I installed this to put on a cargo carrier which gives us lots more cargo space when traveling. I highly recommend purchasing your hitch from etrailer!

Perfect fit for my 2022 Outlander Sport. The install took about 30 mins in my driveway with basic sockets. I watched the video on the install and it bolted on exactly how the video showed. The hitch receiver sits flush with the number for a clean looking install.

Best after market devise I have ever purchased.
At 79 years old I put this on the vehicle by myself, very easy installation with excellent instructions.

Excellent company! I needed a hitch to tow a trailer very quickly due to an emergency. I was going to get one from uhaul, but they had a huge wait time, and 135$ installation fee. I searched their product, and searching for Curt brought me to etrailer. I did the install alone in my carport, no special lifts, and only a few tools are needed which I had in the garage. I also bought the wiring harness, and ball, total installation time for me was 1 hr. This thing is super solid, welds are perfect, and I have no hesitation to tow a small trailer 2000 miles. It’s going to be great for a cargo rack and bike rack when I’m ready. I paid extra for two day shipping, a bit expensive, but I needed it fast. It was here in 24 hours, and fit perfect and I have nothing to say but, choose etrailer!
by: LittleL06/08/2019
This is the second Curt trailer hitch that I've purchased from etrailer. The trailer hitch is great. Solid welds and great coating on the metal. First one lasted several years and and went with my previous car. I couldn't wait to order one for my new car. The best part is that etrailer has clear videos on how to do the install. We had it installed in less than 30 minutes!

This hitch is a perfect fit on my outlander sport. Took about 15 minutes to install including prep. I got this hitch to use with a bike rack. The other reason I got it, is because it looks great on the car. Gives it an aggressive and clean look.

The vertical plates, the plates welded to the tubing, were both bent. leaving a total space of 1 1/8" between the chassis beams of the car and the plates. This interfered with the silencer connecting points. The 30 minutes installation time as stated by you worked out to be more than 4 hours. You recommended removing the side panel to connect the wiring. Did you ever try this? It worked out that it is much easier to connect in the space of the taillight housing and hide the wires under the trimming.

It sounds to me like the hitch was flexed which is common when shipping hitches. You can use a vise to straighten it. There is more detailed information in the link below.

Hitch was Easy to install. YouTube videos helped. One thing that gave me a problem was the nut to screw into weld hole. It took quite a bit of persuading but it worked.
The bike rack was very simple and works great.

Overall very pleased with my purchase. Tow hitch is of very good quality and hardware was nice as well. Instructions and video made it very easy to put on and only took about 30 mins. Only complaint is packing could’ve been slightly better but other then that very happy with it!

Product was delivered quickly, within three days of order placement. It arrived in good condition, though one end of the hitch had worn through the cardboard box during transit. The hitch was not damaged as a result. Installation was easily completed within 45 minutes without assistance.
by: Edgar05/10/2019
Other than the scratch on the front of the hitch from careless shipping UPS, the installation was very easy and without a hitch, (pun intended). I fixed the scratch with glossy spray paint.

Yeah so the first hitch I order was from Amazon and the hook sustaining the muffler was on the way… so I called you guys and I return my hitch from Amazon and ordered the mit outlander sport 2018 hitch recommend by you and it’s the same problem the hook that sustains the muffler does not allow the hitch on the passages side to all the way up to run the bolts through. I will be taking my outlander to get that hook removed by welding it off

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch
- Will The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C87WR Fit 2022 Outlander, Outlander Sport and Outlander PHEVThe Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C87WR will fit all trim levels of the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander. Since The Outlander Sport and Outlander PHEV are different models this receiver will not work on those vehicles. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13398 is the last hitch we have confirmed to fit the Outlander PHEV and it fits the 2018-2020 model years. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13079 is the last hitch we have confirmed to fit the Outlander Sport. It fits the 2011-2021 model years.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander SportYes, the Curt hitch part # C13079 is a confirmed fit for your 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and would work well as it's a 2 inch hitch with plenty of towing capacity. If you have LED taillights the trailer wiring kit you need is the part # 118538. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch...
view full answer... - Replacement Hitch Hardware for Curt Hitch on 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander SportIn order to replace the mounting hardware of your Curt # C13079 hitch you'll need to use the part # RHK. When you navigate to that page you'll want to put the "C13079" part number in the field marked "Hitch Item Number" on the right hand side. This will allow you to purchase a hardware kit specific for your hitch.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch for 2021 Mitsubishi OutlanderIf you have a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander that's a PHEV, the etrailer # e48KR is fit. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness, part # 118482, a # D-28 ball mount along with a # PC3 hitch pin and a trailer ball. For a 1-7/8 inch ball, use # 40038 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball. If you have an Outlander Sport, the Curt # C13079 fits all 2021 Outlander Sport models except for the PHEV. For a trailer wiring harness, use # TK67VR. You'd use the same ball mount...
view full answer... - Class III 2 inch Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander SportThere is a Curt hitch that is Class III that has been confirmed to fit your 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. Check out the # C13079. I checked with Curt and they list this as a fit for the 2015 Outlander Sports. If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip,...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch for 2019 Mitsubishi OutlanderI have a solution for you, but the Curt # C13079 is only a confirmed fit on the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport models. Instead, you'll want to use the Curt # C13163, which is confirmed for the Outlander (non-Sport and non- Plug-in Hybrid vehicles). This is also a Class III hitch like the C13079 and will offer you the same no-drill installation. If you're going to be towing with your new hitch, you'll also need a wiring harness, ball mount and hitch ball to round out a complete towing package....
view full answer... - Best Bike Rack Options for a 2011 Outlander SportThe only solution I can provide for your 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport would be a hitch mounted bike rack as none of the trunk mounted bike rack manufacturers that we carry have any confirmed fits for your vehicle. For a hitch you would want the Curt Hitch part # C13079. This is a 2 inch hitch with plenty of capacity that would offer you much more flexibility for future hitch accessories than a 1-1/4 inch hitch. One of the more popular bike racks with other Outlander Sport owners is...
view full answer... - Using a 2 Inch Bike Rack on a 2017 Buick Encore with 1-1/4 Inch Trailer HitchLike you said there are only 1-1/4 inch hitches for your 2017 Buick Encore. In fact, there is only one available for your Encore. You could use Curt hitch # C11527 with adapter # HTAD to use a 2 inch bike rack. However, the use of the adapter reduces the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch from 200 pounds down to 100 pounds. The Q Slot PS63138 weighs about 65 pounds meaning you will only have 35 pounds of capacity left over. As long as the combined weight of the bikes is less...
view full answer... - Recommended Wiring Harness for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander SportThe correct wiring harness for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C37NR. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your Outlander's wiring harness, which is located behind your tail lights. It will provide you with a 4-way connector that will control your trailer or accessories lighting functions. I recommend using the No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136 and the item # C42CR to secure the 4-way connector to your hitch. This will put it...

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander SportIn addition to the Curt trailer hitch you have selected for your 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport you will need a wiring harness, ball mount, ball, and a hitch pin with a clip. For a trailer wiring harness I recommend # 118538. It does work with the LED lights on your Outlander Sport so that will not be a problem! I have included a link to a video review of this harness for you. For a ball mount I recommend # C45030. For a 1-7/8 inch ball I recommend # 19260, for a 2 inch ball I recommend...

These hitches do not list fit restrictions listed for 2 wheel drive models of the RVR. The only Class III trailer hitch option for the 2011 RVR is the Curt Class III Round Tube Receiver Hitch # C13079 that you referenced. This hitch offers a 2 inch receiver hitch that will provide you with more options for hitch accessories, such as bike racks and cargo carriers. The hitch has a maximum...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander SportIt looks like you are interested in the Curt trailer hitch # C13079 for your 2017 Outlander Sport. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening. Per Curt, all non-trailer loads (bike racks, cargo carriers, etc) must be supported by stabilizing straps, such as part # 18050. For that reason I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e63AR. This is also a Class lll hitch with a 2-inch receiver. If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball...

I recommend using the # C59496 because we've found that the converter boxes are a bit more reliable over time, so it's going to be a harness that can withstand the test of time. This harness will need to be hard wired into your tail lights, since there are no plug and play harnesses available for your 2014 Mitsubishi RVR. If you don't already have a hitch and ball mount kit, I've added some recommendations for those below, as well. Hitch: Curt # C13079 Ball...
view full answer... - Why Would Curt Hitch for 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Not Line up to Frame PerfectlySometimes hitches can get slightly bent during shipping and this can be fixed by bending the hitch back into place as long as the hitch only has a slight bend to it. If yours isn't lining up I can almost guarantee that is what happened. Some people will use open steps for leverage, vices and even car jacks to apply controlled force to bend the hitch back. You will want to look for flaking paint and physical stress marks on the hitch before and after you attempt to bend the hitch back....
view full answer... - Will Curt C13079 Trailer Hitch for Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 2012 Interfere w/ Spart TireGreat question. Some hitch installs can interfere with the spare tire, but this isn't the case with your vehicle. The 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has the spare tire stored in a compartment under the floor of the cargo area, so it will not interfere with the installation of a trailer hitch. I've provided a photo of the underside of the vehicle with the hitch installed. I've linked you to an installation video that'll show you exactly where the hitch sits under the vehicle.

- Fit of Curt C13079 on 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport LEAccording to Curt, their Class III # C13079 trailer hitch fits all models of the 2001 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, including your LE. If you'll be towing with the hitch, If your Outlander has the LED taillights, Curt offers a plug and play trailer taillight wiring harness, part # C56127. If you have incandescent taillights, you'll need a splice-in harness like # C59496.

I recommend the Curt trailer Hitch, part # C13079. This is a Class lll hitch and has a 2 inch receiver opening. One note from Curt is that 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...
view full answer... - Correct Curt Trailer Hitch for a 2016 Mitsubishi OutlanderThe correct Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander is part # C13163 or part # C13079 if you have a sport model. The rear bumper fascia and exhaust are different on the sport models which is why there is a different trailer hitch for each. I have attached an install video on a Mitsubishi Outlander Sport for reference. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receivers are both bolt-on options.

In order to complete your setup you'll need the following: etrailer Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches part # 989900 T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118538 (LED Taillights) or part # C59236 (No LED Taillights)

To use a combo bike/cargo rack like the Yakima # Y54ZR on the Outlander, I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13163 the hitch has a 600 lb tongue weight capacity, which would be limited to the 350 lb tongue weight...
