CURT120133 Class 2 Trailer Hitch with Ball Mount, 1-1/4-Inch Receiver, Compatible with Select Toyota Matrix

This product is as easy as it gets for installing a trailer hitch however the holes that were factory drilled underneath my car had some rust and build up in it. I attempted to install the hitch but the bolts weren't gripping. Rather than risk stripping the threads, I had a place install it for me and they told me that the reason why it didn't go in was because the bolts were too short. So the extra $50 I spend on the installation of 4 bolts, could have just cost me $3 for longer bolts. Thanks Curt Manufacturing for giving me short bolts and costing me an additional $50!

It comes with what you need in the box, it does what it should, and all the holes lined up well, with enough slack to allow for the fact my car was rear-ended once. It does hang down a little more than it really needs to (2007 Toyote Matrix), which is unfortunate on a vehicle that doesn't have mountains of ground clearance in the first place, but it's rarely an issue. Overall very happy.

This trailer hitch fit perfectly. I was sure that something would need to be moved or trimmed especially on the Matrix XRS with spoilers everywhere, BUT nothing needed trimming or removing-- it fit perfect. The bolt holes on the car had to be chased with a tap otherwise the bolt would bottom out before snugging up the hitch to the frame, but that is expected with road debris and never being used. Used Locktite to help keep the bolts from backing out. Easy install. I liked the fact that Curt does not drill a "fail" bolt hole in the receiver to limit weight load, (like another hitch manufacturer, Hidden Hitch) that's the most ignorant thing I have heard of, basically saying "your too stupid to load a trailer properly for the towing vehicle". I understand the risk of overloading the hitch and mostly the towing vehicle, but don't limit the hitch, EDUCATE the people - put instructions outlining the load limits. Anywho, I am glad I went with the Curt Hitch.

Nice quality. Ordered the one from Northern Tool I received model 12013. It did not include the ball mount, pin or clip in the description and item pictures.

I purchased the Curt 12013 hitch for my Toyota Matrix so that I could use a hitch-mount bicycle rack on the car. A local independent mechanic did the installation, which looks to be relatively easy (4 large bolts into existing holes on the frame), but was complicated in my case by considerable rust on the threaded holes. The hitch appears to be very well made and finished, is impressively steady in its attachment to the car, and holds my Thule Helium 3 bicycle rack very securely. Overall, I am quite pleased with the quality and the utility of this product. The hitch allows me to mount bicycles on the back of the car without the hassle and questionable stability of the typical, add-on mounts. It also allows me to get away from the car-top, roof mounts that are awkward to use, and which can be problems when driving through low-height passages.

This hitch is really good quality a little overpriced personal opinion. My issue was that when the hitch arrived the hardware was just not there. I emailed the company and they we’re being jerks about the missing hardware. Don’t order from this reseller.

I am no mechanical guru, but I found this hitch to be super easy to install. Best of all, there was no trimming required to mount it on my RX model Matrix, unlike some other hitches. Installation took about 15 minutes once I managed to get the corrosion cleaned out of the holes on the underside of my car. I would really reccommend this hitch to anyone looking to tow something with an '03 to '10 matrix where the vehicle trim is an issue. Added bonus, it was cheaper on Amazon than I was able to find anywhere else online, and shipping was free! Couldn't ask for more.

I bought this to haul my recumbent bicycle around on my 2004 Toyota Matrix. Pretty easy to install although the bolts were hard to start. Fit and finish are good but I did notice a chipped spot that will need a little touch up.
