Description

However you define adventure -- whether it's climbing onto the back of a mountain bike, hunting from the top of a tree stand or camping with the family a long way from nowhere -- CURT class 1 hitches provide a light-duty towing receiver to help you Bring It. Each is made to fit a specific vehicle, providing easier installation, a better fit and optimal towing capacity. Custom class 1 trailer hitches are available for a variety of smaller vehicle types, including the compact car, crossover, minivan and small SUV. This particular class 1 hitch is designed to be a custom hitch for certain years of the Toyota Prius and Prius Prime (to verify vehicle compatibility, see the CURT application guide at curtmfg.com). Tested in accordance with SAE J684, it offers a weight carrying capacity of 2,000 lbs. GTW and 200 lbs. TW. It is equipped with 1-1/4" receiver tube opening to accept a ball mount shank or other hitch mount. This class 1 hitch also comes with all necessary mounting hardware. With its lightweight design and smaller receiver tube size, a class 1 hitch is especially useful for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted bike rack or cargo carrier. They can also typically be used to tow small trailers such as a utility trailer, kayak trailer or teardrop camper (never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component; i.e. the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc). Though CURT class 1 trailer hitches are only intended for light-duty towing, we apply the same principles of quality as we do to the rest of our rear mount hitches. Each class 1 hitch is made with hands-on engineering, high-strength steel and precise welding. We use a co-cured finish of liquid Bonderite, inside and out, and durable black powder coat to provide a lasting defense against rust, chips and UV rays.

  • Sturdy trailer hitch receiver, fits 2019 Prius perfectly
No issues at all with the trailer hitch receiver. Installation is simple, once you manage to take off all the plastic bits under the rear bumper, but then you have to reassemble all the splash guards. Ugh! It took me about 3 hours, working alone. I think I struggled with the plastic clips that hold the splash guards and black part of the bumper cover the most. It's a ... show more

  • Fit perfectly and works like a charm on my Prius
The unit was heavier than I expected and went on just fine. The most difficult part of the installation was getting the Toyota undercarriage fasteners apart. After some experimentation, I used a plastic crowbar I purchased a while ago in a set of plastic body and dash tools, and a flat screw driver to get them out. It might be useful to purchase a few extra before you start because I ended up a couple short. We bought the hitch to allow a 2 bike carrier on our prius. It works like a charm. We bought an Allen bike carrier that has a lockable knob which tightens a wedge in the receiver. The combination of sturdy hitch and wedge tightened Allen carrier has no wobble at all - as was reported in many of the ratings for the carrier. I am very pleased. ... show more

  • This was my second Curt hitch and quality is great.
This hitch was relatively easy to install following the video instructions provided on the website. It took me much more time than indicated mainly due to doing the work on the floor with a jack and stands when the video installation used a vehicle lift. The video showed 2 people lifting the hitch into place with the bumper reinforcement and 2 people are definitely required not just because of the weight but installing both at once is bulky and awkward getting the bolts started. If care isn’t taken it would be easy to damage some of the trim and fasteners. If you’re not comfortable after watching the video the cost of professional installation is probably worth it. The Curt wiring kit was also made easier by watching the video provided but also took much longer than indicated without a vehicle lift. ... show more

  • difficult install but doable
It fit my 2019 Toyota Prius perfectly. no drilling or cutting. I watched the youtube how to video from etrailer so not sure how the instructions are. it took me 2.5 hours to do it in the dark. I didnt use the bolts it came with. the factory ones fit for me. If you are doing the install yourself i would suggest buying a few replacement fasteners (i damaged almost all and actually broke 2) and a real metal trim removal tool. I own a plastic one and it just wasn't doing the job. I would also HIGHLY recommend getting a jack and jack stands. the Prius is just too low to comfortably do the job on the ground. it is doable but its going to suck more. Let me just say i have installed a tow hitch on every car i have owned and this was by far the most tedious and annoying install. It took me an hour alone to just get the stupid push fasteners off my bumper. and than another hour to get those damn clips off. the actual hitch install and button everything back up was about 30 minutes. A second person would absolutely make the job easier but i did it alone. I screwed one side of the tow hitch without the bumper over it to hold it in place and then the other side i screwed in the hitch and bumper together and then went back to fix the other side. made it easier with one person. I didnt take a picture but its pretty undercover. looks really. etrailer said its rated to tow something like 2000 lbs but I wouldnt be comfortable towing anything. I got it to hook up a cargo rack on the back for longer road trips. ... show more

  • Custom Fit, but not simple
Much harder than the trailer hitch I installed on our 2015 Prius, which just bolts vertically into tapped holes in the body (first remove tow hitch from L side), with no plastic undershields in the way. This one, for our 2022 Prius Prime bolts between the bumper and body, but you can't just slide it in since the bumper has a finger sticking out at each mounting that you must beat flat (one reviewer didn't read instructions and cut hole in Curt hitch to pass that finger). Perhaps you could pry it flat in-place (unbolted), but instructions are to remove the bumper (not plastic bumper cover), which requires removing all the rear undershields (one just to get at a single trim screw each side). Must unclip a wiring harness under the cover and release clips that secure a cover trim piece. Must also make some opening in two undershields for clearance (can use sharp scissors or knife). Plan on at least 2 hours for your first time. Watch the Curt youtube. ... show more
