Product Description
CURT Manufacturing focuses on being first-to-market with our new custom fit hitch designs. CURT is the only hitch company in the industry that mechanically de-scales all of our hitches before applying a thick powder coat finish leaving an attractive high-gloss, smooth surface. You will have no worries about your product rusting, as CURT features WeatherTite™ construction which seals the main body of the hitch. All CURT hitches come with mounting hardware and easy to follow installation instructions. Our class 1 hitches have a 1 1/4 In. receiver opening, and rate up to 2,000 Lbs. gross trailer weight (GTW) and 200 Lbs. tongue weight (TW). This Trailer Hitch includes a standard CURT ball mount with a pin and clip. We're so confident in the quality of our trailer hitches that we back them up with a limited lifetime warranty and a one year finish warranty.

Worked well. Doubled my cars usefulness. Highly recommended!
By StrongSkills
This hitch worked out really well. The kit had all the parts I needed to install it, except some silicone caulk ($3) to seal the drain holes in my spare tire well, and the tools (obviously). I drive an Infiniti G35 Sedan, which has gobs of acceleration power, stopping power, and everything needed to tow a trailer. The only thing the car doesn't have is a lot of space, so adding this hitch made my car so much more useful. The hitch is strong, and I towed a 5'x8' trailer from U-Haul weighing 2000 lbs without a problem. By the way, there is a difference between total weight, which is what your vehicle can pull and stop, and tongue weight, which is the straight down limit that your vehicle can carry on the hitch ball itself. My towing limit is 2000 lbs total weight, but my tongue limit is 200 lbs.I am also a cyclist, and got tired of putting a strap on rack on my trunk. It would scratch my rear deck and bumper. With this hitch I can now use a hitch bike rack. I wish I had done this a long time ago. If you are a cyclist, and are considering a roof rack, consider the cost of a roof rack vs this solution, and also the fact that the ugly roof rack has to be on your car all the time, vs this which is unobtrusively hidden under the car, except when you insert the rack. Plus, with the roof rack, you have to remove the bike front wheel, and you can't tow a trailer with a roof rack.I installed the hitch and wiring myself, but U-Haul will install the hitch at one of their larger facilities for about $90. There are two types of light kits. One which draws power directly from your lights (not recommended), and one which draws power directly from the battery (recommended). It is about twice the money ($36 vs $18), but worth it. I recommend not loading the already sensitive lighting systems on todays cars with the cheaper kit if you plan to actually tow a trailer with this hitch. Installation of the wiring kit is an additional cost also if you have U-Haul do it. The kit can be purchased here on amazon by searching for "Hopkins 46255 wiring kit". That kit is the one I'm recommending, and universal for any vehicle. Otherwise, do a search for "Hopkins wiring kit" and your vehicle brand, and that should give you plenty of options here on Amazon.I highly recommend this product to anyone.

Good quality product, but instructions are missing an important step
By Justin Bowen
I bought this receiver to mount a bike rack to my G35 sedan. I researched roof racks and trunk racks before deciding on a hitch-mount rack, and I'm confident now that I made the right choice.I have nothing bad to say about the quality of this product. The steel is thick and sturdy, and the coating on it seems to be durable. The mounting hardware is beefy, and the install is something that can be done as a DIY if you are mechanically inclined. If you have experience working on cars, this is an easy install.I was worried at first that the receiver would stick out too far and look tacky, or the part of the bumper cover I had to cut would be visible from the rear of the car. I'm happy to report that neither of those concerns were justified. I've had compliments from friends and the first thing they all say is "that looks a lot better than I expected".My only gripe is the fact that the instructions don't mention that the rear bumper cover has to come off to install the hitch. It seems like a "no duh" in hindsight, but there's no excuse for the instructions not mentioning this part. The instructions have you cutting the bumper cover before you realize the receiver can't be installed without removing the bumper, which can result in an off-center cut. I believe my cut could have been cleaner if I knew ahead of time that I had to take off the bumper cover.5/5 for the product, despite the oversight in the instructions.

Not many hitches made for an Infiniti G35
By Katherine Azarigian
I found that this model Curt hitch was the best choice for me. There was nothing more than Class 1 hitch available for a 2003 Infiniti G35. Seeing that I have installed hitches before, I ran into no difficulties with the installation. Took me about an hour and a half from start to finish.
