Expert Answers about Fiat 500X

• Recommended Hitch for a 2016 Fiat 500X
• Though I can confirm the Curt # C13271 will fit your 2016 Fiat 500X, excluding the Pop and Trekking options, the # 76021 will not. This has to do with a few subtle differences between the two hitches and where they attach to the frames of the vehicles.

• Is There a Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2016 Fiat 500X Trekking Edition?

• Why Curt Does Hitch for 2016 Fiat 500x Have Different Capacity than Vehicle
• With any towing setup you are limited by the lowest rated component as the overall towing capacity. In your situation you'd be limited by the vehicle at 2,400 lbs. Draw Tite designed and tested the part # C13271 that you referenced and found that it had a capacity of 3,500 lbs total trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight. That is just for the hitch by itself. Now Fiat came up with their own towing capacity for your vehicle that happens to be lower than the hitch.
