Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 1999 Honda Civic Sedan
Question:
Hi, I am looking for a hitch for my 1999 Honda Civic LX 4 door sedan. I am wanting to install a hitch so I can tow a motorcycle trailer loaded with a 400lbs motorcycle. I see a few on your website but I am not sure what the difference is or the best one for the vehicle and job. Thank you,

Since the goal is to do some light towing with your 1999 Honda Civic sedan you would want the Draw-Tite part # 24677 which has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle.
You will need a ball mount. For a 1-7/8 inch ball you would want the part# 19256 or for a 2 inch ball part # 19258. For trailer wiring you would also want the part # 119178KIT.
The capacity of this hitch is 2,000 lbs so as long as the weight of the trailer and motorcycle is less than that this would work well. You will also need to check the towing capacity of your vehicle in the owners manual.
