Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2019 Toyota Corolla
Question:
What's up gang. I plan on towing a "light" trailer with my 19 Toyota Carolla from time to time and looking for the right hitch. There are 2 that I see and goodness if they don't look just about identical. Do you recommend one over the other? Why? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch # C11265 and the Draw-Tite # 24913 for your 2019 Toyota Corolla are indeed extremely similar hitches but I recommend the Curt # C11265 for a couple of reasons.
Both hitches will install at the same location on your Corolla but the Curt receiver will be just a bit more recessed behind the bumper allowing for a cleaner appearance. Unlike the Draw-Tite hitch, the Curt is also made right here in the USA so you can be certain of its quality and strength.
I have attached an installation video for the Curt hitch that you can use for reference.
In order to pull a trailer you will also need to add a wiring harness to power its signal lights. For this I recommend the Hopkins # HM11141824 because of its superior converter box construction. This is a custom harness that installs by simply plugging into factory ports in the rear cargo area and then running the hot lead up to the battery.
Lastly you will need a ball mount and hitch ball. I have attached a great article that explains how to choose the best one for your setup along with a link that will take you to our available selection.
