What is the Best Trailer Hitch for a 2013 Honda Fit

Question

Question:

I have a 2013 Honda Fit. I saw in a discussion that someone mentioned the Curt C11406 will fit a 2015 Honda Fit. But I also see that your Fit guide does not show that. That makes me wonder if the C11406 is so new maybe your website has not been updated to reflect that it will fit a 2015 Fit. AND if it fits a 2015 Honda Fit will it also fit my 2013 Honda Fit? I like the round tube look of the Curt C11406 and want to order that if it will fit my car.

The Curt trailer Hitch # C11406 will NOT be the right fit your 2013 Honda Fit but would fit a 2015 Honda Fit. The trailer hitch I would recommend for your 2013 Honda Fit is the EcoHitch # 306-X7286.

If you plan on doing any towing with your 2013 Honda Fit please refer to the owners manual to view towing maximum limits.

I have included installation details and video for you as well.
