EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Installation - 2008 Honda Civic- Video
Hi there, Civic owners. Today, on your 2008 Honda Civic, we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install EcoHitch's class three two-inch trailer hitch receiver. And this is what our hitch looks like when it's installed. It does kinda stick out the back a little bit here, a little bit past the bumper, but the crosstube's completely hidden behind our fascia here, so you're only gonna notice the receiver here at the back. And with this receiver being a two inch by two inch, it's gonna work great for all of your towing needs, whether you're wanting to use this for accessories or if you're wanting to put a ball mount in this and do a little bit of towing with it as well. You'll secure your accessories to your receiver using a 5/8-inch hitch pin and clip. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2008 Honda Civic - Curt- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2008 Honda Civic we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Curt class one custom fit trailer hitch receiver, part number C11391. Here's what our hitch is gonna look like, it is gonna sit just right below the bumper and that cross tube is gonna be visible but mainly what we're gonna see is we're gonna see that receiver tube sticking out which is gonna pretty close to flush with out back bumper so we're not gonna have to worry about bumping our knee or our shin when we're walking by.Now it is a class one hitch which means it's gonna give us that inch and a quarter by inch and quarter receiver tube opening and as you can see it's got that nice reinforced collar not only giving it the added strength but also it's just gonna give it an overall clean, finished look to it. Now the way we're gonna attach any of our accessories is gonna be right here to the hitch pin hole here and it's gonna accept a standard half inch pin and clip which are included which is always a nice added bonus.Now as far as the safety chain connection point's go it's gonna be a plate style welded to the bottom and we're gonna have plenty of room to get most sized hooks on or off and the slight off set from the hitch pin hole is gonna be nice because we're not gonna have to worry about any kind of interference if we're using a locking device. Now as far as the weight capacity goes our hitch is gonna feature a 200 pound tongue weight, which is gonna be the maximum force that is gonna be pushing down. It's also gonna have a 2,000 pound gross trailer weight rating which is gonna be the maximum amount that it can pull. Now with all that in mind I do want to mention you always want to double check your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure that you're not gonna exceed the manufacturers weight rating.One thing I do want to mention is that Curt does recommend that you use a stabilization strap anytime that you're towing anything, any non trailer loads, or anything that doesn't have any tires on it such as a cargo carrier or a bike rack. more

This is our inch and a quarter opening right here. Has a traditional loop here for a safety chains. more
