This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.Hitch was processed quickly. Received hitch 2 days before scheduled delivery, thank you FedEx.
I highly recommend watching the installation video. If I had not watched it, I would not have thought you needed to put lower cover panel on the hitch at the same time when you bolt the hitch on. This can be tricky. I zipped tied the panel to the hitch on the passenger side. Plus I used utility knife to cut the plastic. Much cleaner than using a dremel.
Besides the panel covering, the installation is straight forward. My hitch lined up perfect to the Honda mounting points. Luckily I am a Honda tech, so I had all the tools needed and the availability of a vehicle hoist. Still needed help holding the hitch up to start a couple bolts. More power to those that installed theirs at home with the vehicle on the ground.
Hitch looks great installed. I just wished receiver was tucked a little more.
Sam - 06/27/2021This is my second Kurt hitch I’ve installed . I did both by myself with no problem ! I went from a class one to a class III hitch . That’s why did it twice. Great product.

Great product - solid and great value for the price. I have CURT hitch receivers on both of my SUV's. I currently use them to carry mountain bikes. The bikes and carrier probably total 120-140 lbs. My parents plan to use this hitch to tow a small camping trailer.
Installation of the hitch was quick and easy, everything lined up perfectly. It does a good job supporting our bicycle carrier rack.
Unknown to the ETrailer Team I had spent a large portion of my career training high performing teams worldwide. Throughout America, Australia and Abu Dhabi. Seriously they hit and exceeded my expectations at every juncture point of the process, delivery and follow up.
Well Done, the hitch installed exactly as described with No Surprises. Well the one surprise was that it was delivered days earlier than expected.
I have recommended them to family already and will do so again and again. I don’t need a hitch for our DeLorean but if I did I am sure they could make it happen.
Well Done and Thank You Very Much,
Ron Stewart
Ronald - 01/21/2022I ordered the Curt C13119 hitch in October when I decided to buy a 2015 CRV Touring model. I must have ordered it at the right time of day, I received the hitch the next afternoon. However, I ended up having to order my CRV. I had the hitch for three months before I could install it.
I left the plastic panel in place and cut the hole with a utility knife. I started with just cutting three sides to make a flap rather than a whole. I wanted to replace as much of the cutout as I could after the install. Bending the flap to 90 degrees, I had enough room to work. After the hitch was in place, I cut a smaller piece from the flap to fit around the hitch. I then used JB KwikWeld to glue the flap in place.
The hardest part for me wast getting the bolt directly above the muffler torqued down in the limited space. Thank you for the videos showing the installation. It made the process easier to watch it happen first.
The quality of the Curt hitch is excellent, well made with thick paint. Much better than the U-Haul hitch I had on my last vehicle.
I have referred several people to use eTrailer.com based on my experice with their website and products.
Good price, prompt delivery. I was particularly impressed with the installation instructions that included a diagram where and how to cut a hole in a plastic panel to allow the hitch bracket to reach the car frame. Everything fit perfectly as expected.
Trailer arrived fine, except there where two gouges where paint was flaking off. Fortunately I had some gray primer and black spray paint which I used to cover the chips. They were on opposite sides of the trailer. The box was in good shape so not sure where it happened. The instructions were very clear and the hitch fit like it was supposed to. All the holes lined up just fine and the videos on line were very helpful. I would have given this product one more mark closer to Excellent except that one thing that I didn't like at all was the way the paint crinkled at the spot where the u shaped bolt gets bolted on with the provided nuts. I was tightening the hitch to the u shaped bolt and as the nuts tightened against the painted hitch I could actually hear and see the paint crinkle. It was as if the paint coat wasn't adhering to the metal. If it had adhered properly, I would have just expected the bolts to scrape some of the paint away not cause it to crinkle. So I took my black can of spay paint and coated the area really well to protect against corrosion. Here in Florida, that is a big problem.
Hardware biting into the painted surface of the steel can cause the finish to crack or scrape. It's perfectly fine to go back over the area with a spray paint to cover it back up.

Patrick B - 10/3/2014On the first delivery, after unboxing and trying to install the hitch, it turned out the hitch was bent on one side. There was no outward damage to the box, so I don't know how that happened. The second issue were that the flanges on the flange nuts were too wide, meaning they would overlap as they are supposed to be side by side.
I called eTrailer during the weekend, explained the situation, sent them pics, and they issued a return label for UPS drop off, and sent a new hitch within one week. I kept the hardware from the first delivery just in case something was missing from the new delivery.
The installation went well and they sent the correct flange nuts on the second delivery. Now it's time to put on my bike rack and get to the trails. Overall great service. Will need more time to comment on performance, but I think it will be fine if the welds hold.
Was meticulous about taking picures, but for some reason I could not upload the most important ones.
Jenny N - 12/06/2021This is a very nicely built and finished trailer hitch. While I know the CRV does not have the capacity this hitch does, I like the flexibility it provides, and the piece of mind that it will not come apart while towing something. It fits correctly, all the holes lined up exactly and the bolts went in easily. The plastic bottom cover cut very easily and smoothly with a sharp utility knife. Doing it alone, I used a floor jack to lift and hold it in place so I could attach the center U bolt. (see photo) I didn't like leaving the big hole in the under-body panel. It's necessary to install the hitch though. With the cut-out piece, a piece of galvanized steel and some screws I made an access cover door to close up the hole. See photos. Using a bent coat hanger I held the door down while it put the screws through it. I feel better with the hole closed up, and it looks correct.
Curt 13119 trailer hitch
Product arrive in 5 days in excellent condition. Packaging was good, accessories order were taped to the hitch packing so there was no possibility of getting lost. Hardware was taped inside the receiver, so secure location and easy to find.
Gloss black finish was perfect.
Installation:
Read the instructions, watch the etrailer videos, and read the reviews! You can pick up some great tips in the reviews.
Definitely lubricate the exhaust hangers. It makes a world of difference going on or off, especially if you don’t have a special tool for that.
A wire brush WILL be necessary to clean the weld nuts on the exhaust (passenger) side. A tap or thread chaser is probably overkill except in extreme cases. Run all four bolts in and out of the nuts prior to lifting the hitch to make sure they will start as easily as possible.
I did not cut the plastic so there was the standard gaping hole. I removed the plastic underbody panel and used the cutout dimensions in the instructions as a starting point. I measured the prescribed 16.5” plus 1/4” from the edge of the toe hook slot, drilled two 1/2” holes about 7” apart and made straight cuts with a sharp utility knife to connect them.
I then slipped the panel over the driver-side hitch flange prior to moving the hitch under the vehicle.
Since I was installing mine solo, I attached the u-bolt nuts first as they were the easiest to get to. (There is no need to do the most difficult bolts - the front ones on both sides - first, because they become easier when the others are already installed.)
I had a bit of a problem getting the plastic panel to seat correctly, which turned out not to be my measuring and cutting, but rather the panel being slightly pinched by the hitch. A firm tug toward the front of the vehicle using both hands and work gloves, of course, made it pop right into place.
After this, it was just a matter of tightening all bolts to spec and replacing all the pins, bolts, and screws that were removed for the install.
One more note: Safety First! An awful lot of road debris can be caught in that panel and some of it WILL drop on your face. Always wear safely glasses and gloves when performing automotive work!
Great product! Installation was easy...watched video..very helpful...l measured and cut the plastic panel on the car with a razor knife then installed hitch...reinstalled the cut piece by drlling holes,cutting off 1/4" to allow for hitch then attatching it with black zip ties...worked out great! Etrailer's order/shipping process was awesome! Recieved my hitch in just a few days...will definately use Etrailer again!!
Great hitch and looks great on vehicle. A quality made product and the staff at etrailer is always helpful !
Not bad, fairly quick to install. I did goof and cut off a towing hook on my CRV but wasn’t that big a deal. Still works great
The finish on the hitch is excellent..The round tube design looks more modern or at least i so believe.This is the hitch to buy if you do not have access to a lift as there is no drilling required to install.The instructions included are spot on and if you are somewhat mechanically inclined and have the required tools or can borrow or rent , you should be able to properly install the hitch. My only headache was related to not being able to install the bolts on the muffler side as there was excessive rust on these two weldnuts.I ended up getting a tap to chase the threads and then was able to bolt right up.It is possible a wire brush would have cleaned it up but this was really stubborn stuff.I was concerned with having to cut the underbody trim panel but again the location on the instructions are correct.I did use a dremel and a regular reinforced cutoff wheel as that is what I already had and cut clean as long as you keep the RPM`s high. due to having to get the tap the next day as all the parts stores close on Thanksgiving I could not finish it on the day I started so check those threads as they are exposed.The other side was fine as they are covered by the underbody panel.
Purchased the Curt C13119 hitch from etrailer for a new 2014 Honda CR-V after going over the wealth of product information available on the site that reassured that I'd be getting the right product. I have a Thule bike rack that we used on our previous car and 2" hitches are not available from Honda dealer installation. I'm not a big DIY guy so had our local shop install it. We only use it for a bike/ski rack, not towing, so I know I won't be overloading it. Also purchased the stabilizer strap for the rack (see photos bellow) as per Curt and Etrailer.com's recommendations to preserve warranty. It's not much extra effort to install and adds piece of mind that it's relieving some of the stress on the hitch. We got all this just days before going on a long trip to the Rocky Mountains. The hitch worked great with all four bikes on the rack!
C13119 - 08/17/2015I bought a bike rack and a trailer hitch from etrailer and, I have to say, it has been one of the most wonderful experiences with a seller I've ever had. LOTS of communication asking if everything went well.
The bike rack was easy to put together and the trailer hitch was sooooo much easier than I imagined. Everything fit together perfectly and with no problems.
I'd buy from these guys again in a heartbeat!
Hitch / wiring harness arrived in a timely manner. The video instructions were a real help in doing the installations. Only thing we had to ad lib was cleaning out the threaded connections above the muffler. As the vehicle is 6 yrs old, those threads needed to be chased with a tap.
Jenny N - 10/19/2021Here's a picture of the completed assembly of both the Curt 2" trailer hitch and Swagman bike rack, both purchased from etrailer, and installed on my wife's 2012 Honda CRV.
Thanks to the videos and reviews on etrailer, installation of the trailer hitch and assembly of the bike rack was straightforward and relatively easy.
Like some others, I cut a three sided "flap" on the underside rubber splash shield of the CRV with it in place and then trimmed it and taped it securely around the trailer hitch after installation. That made the job faster and neater. It's a tight seal around the hitch.
After reading lots of reviews, and giving it a lot of thought I decided on the Swagman XTC-2 rack, and I'm very glad I did. It works very well, and holds both bikes securely in place. I added the Curt stabilizer strap as that was recommended by several others along with Curt and I believe that helps stabilize the rack even more. There's no shaking or swaying while driving with both bikes attached. I considered the more expensive Swagman rack that folds forward, but thought the weight of 47 lbs. would be too much, especially for my wife if she ever decides to go with our grandkids when I'm not home.
Great price at etrailer and very easy to install with no drilling required. the best part of etrailer is the helpful installation videos to give the do-it -yourselfer the confidence they need.
My husband and I installed this hitch on my 2012 CRV together. He just turned 71 and I am 65. It probably took 90 minutes as we aren't as strong as we used to be. Lol looking forward to getting out there and riding my bike on the trails around Pocatello, Idaho.
Susan L - 05/27/2020Product arrived mint and after the snow was off my driveway it took about 1 hour to install (and take pictures). My advice would to use the enclosed measurements to cut out the left opening (I used a dremel) instead of removing the plastic gas tank guard, its easier, faster and safer as the enclosed measurements are PRESTINE!. I installed it alone so I used a jack to hold it up while I screwed everything together. Screw the center (tow hook) bolts first. One word of caution!!!! My car was ONLY one month old (2015 Honda CRV) yet I almost stripped a bolt while screwing it in. CLEAN YOUR THREADS REGARDLESS!!!!
Another great hitch. Shipping was on-time and the hitch was exactly what I ordered. Finish was even but there was slight damage probably in shipping but it looked like it was struck with a ball-peen hammer. A little filing and some spray paint and it was good to go. Instructions were clear and the cutting of the plastic body panel on the underside was much easier than I thought. Definitely measure and use a straight edge when cutting. Dremel with a rotary cutter worked great. Cutting the insulation was simple, really good shears made easy work of it. Prior to mounting run the bolts all the way in and out a few times to clear any debris from the threads you can't get with the brush. Getting the exhaust clear is a little challenging but manageable. I installed the hitch by myself and it went smoothly. Total time was about 90 minutes. I spent a lot of time on the measuring and also added a rubber barrier around the hole I cut. Very pleased with the fit and look of the finished hitch.
Kraig S - 08/11/2017Installation was very easy. Hardest part was the rubber hangers on the muffler. Decided to cut the rear panel with a rotozip instead of removing it, so I took my time measuring. I used a floor jack with a piece of wood and had my wife stabilize it. After cutting the hole, everything went smoothly. Place the bolts, tighten and torque them and your done. The videos were really helpful. Total time about 1 hour. Price and service from E-Trailer were outstanding.
Glad to hear you enjoyed yoru experience with us and that the hitch install was easy. Thanks for the tips and ideas!
