Received the Trailer Hitch perfectly on time and without scratches or any other problems. I did not try to install it myself; I took it to have it professionally installed by one of Curt's Certified dealers and they did a great job. I have been using it to transport my bicycles with a 2" Yakima Hitch Bike Rack. Totally recommend it!

It fits! I was worried it wouldn't. The installation instructions are a bit to be desired. With a little help, I installed the hitch, and I'm very happy with the results.

2016 Fiat 500X

Purchased hitch for my 2016 Fiat 500x was a bit Leary as the car was a new model for Fiat and I only had the car for 6months purchased 2weeks after the dealer got it. The hitch was a little tricky to fit. Had to grind time holes bigger to fit the bolts. Had to bend the arms a bit as they were compressed together to that they would not fit oround the frame. I put the install at a medium difficulty as it was not bolt and go. Otherwise the hitch has performed perfect no issues towing 3000lbs or my 300lb racing cart. Lighting kit for the 500x was also purchased and the was a real breeze to install.

2 years and going great no issues at all. Use it tons.

Fit and installed it exactly like the installation video on your website explain. The video doesn’t show all the details. I was very nice to have the wire pulls To position the bolts and spacers. That part took a little extra finesse but was necessary and it worked out well. The trailer hitch receiver and the plug and play wiring made installation much easier.

This is the second time I have dealt with etrailer and the experience was the same as the first. A well executed ordering process, helpful product research materials, knowledgable service and a competitive price seem to be hallmarks of this company. I am very pleased with etrailer's people and its products.

I am extremely pleased with the product. It fit perfectly. Excellent price. I had priced the same item at the Jeep dealership and it was over $500.00. I think I paid approx. $120.00 through etrailer. One year later it still looks brand new and it actually looks like the jeep came from the factory with it. I'm well pleased and highly recommend etrailer. After seeing mine one of my friends purchased one for his Fiat.

by:
2016 Fiat 500L

I purchased a 2" receiver for our Fiat 500L to use for a bike rack so we do not have bikes above the roof making them hard to reach and in the wind. The reciever is solid, works well for our needs, plus was delivered quickly and was easy to install.



by:

The hitch and bike carrier work great!

Excellent product, just what we wanted!

It looks like it should be a easy install, but you know how that goes. I won't be able to install it right away so we will see.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch

  • 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.

  • Can a Yakima Trunk Mount Bike Rack Hold a Single 50 Pound Bike on a 2016 Fiat 500X
    The Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack # Y02638 has a single bike capacity of 35 pounds even though the rack has a total capacity of 90 pounds. This means if you put one bike on the rack it cannot weigh more than 35 pounds. There are no trunk mount bike racks that are rated high enough for a single 50 pound bike. Your only option for a bike that heavy is to install a trailer hitch, # C13271, on your 2016 Fiat 500X and use a hitch mounted bike rack rated high enough for the 50 pound bike. I recommend...

  • Is There a Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2016 Fiat 500X Trekking Edition?
    I currently do not see that any manufactures a trailer hitch receiver for your 2016 Fiat 500X Trekking edition. We do have the Weld-On Receiver # E17 that you can take to a local fabrication shop to see about a custom fabricated receiver. The 4-Way Harness # C59236 will allow you to splice into your factory wiring. This 4-way is the common connector on most small trailer and will also allow for Auxiliary Lights # C53201 should you have a hitch mounted accessory like a bike rack which...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2016 Fiat 500X
    I checked with Curt and the trailer hitch part # C13271 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for all models of the 2016 Fiat 500X so it would work well on your all-wheel drive model. 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 ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Fiat 500X
    The Curt hitch part # C13271 is the highest rated trailer hitch we have available for your 2018 Fiat 500X. It has the capacities of 525 lb tongue weight and 3,500 lb total trailer weight.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for 2016 Fiat 500X
    We can get you everything you need for your 2016 Fiat 500X. For a trailer hitch I recommend the Curt # C13271. The Curt hitch has a maximum tongue weight of 525 lbs and max towing capacity of 3,500 lbs though you would need to make sure you do not exceed the weight capacities listed in your Fiat's owner's manual. For wiring you need the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236.

  • Installation of Curt Trailer Hitch C13171 on 2016 Fiat 500X
    When installing the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13271 on your 2016 Fiat 500X you will not need to drill any new holes in the frame rails - metal - of the vehicle, as shown in the linked instructions. However, this hitch requires you to enlarge existing holes with a die grinder, or file. Please note the Curt hitch is going to require the use of stabilizing straps # 18050 with all non-trailer accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers in order to maintain the warranty. I've added a link...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2016 Fizt 500X
    I recommend the Curt trailer hitch receiver part # C1327. You will also need the stabilizer strap like part # 18050 for any non-trailer items being used in the hitch. You always want to make sure you do not exceed the towing or tongue weight capacity of the vehicle. This is a Class lll and has a 2-inch receiver opening.

  • Does Curt Hitch # C13271 Fit 2016 Fiat 500X
    The Curt hitch part # C13271 does fit the 2016 Fiat 500X with the only exceptions being if it is a Pop or Trekking model which have different rear bumper fascia. I attached an install video for this hitch on a similar 500X for you to check out as well.

  • 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.

  • Recommendation on a Trailer Hitch to Fit a 2016 Fiat 500X
    For your 2016 Fiat 500X, I recommend the Curt Hitch # C13271. The Curt hitch is made of quality materials. I understand that the Curt hitch may look way too heavy-duty and rated too high for your Fiat, Curt has installed and tested their hitches and feel that they will work well with your vehicle. If you are interested in a bike racks, I have attached a link that will take you to the product page to all of the hitch mounted bike racks that we carry.
