2008 Toyota Matrix hitch questions
Which trailer hitch fits a 2008 Toyota Matrix?
CURT 12013 (Class 2, 1-1/4 inch receiver, 2,500 lb), CURT 12221 (Class 1, 1-1/4 inch receiver, 2,500 lb), and CURT 12228 (Class 1, 1-1/4 inch receiver, 2,500 lb) all fit. Pick the class that covers your trailer with room to spare, then check the fit table on the product page for your build.
How much can a 2008 Toyota Matrix tow with this hitch?
The hitch is rated to 2,500 lb gross trailer weight and 250 lb tongue weight. Your Matrix has its own tow rating in the owner's manual, and the lower number is your limit. A loaded bike rack counts against tongue weight too.
Does the hitch come with trailer wiring?
No. The hitch is the receiver and hardware. For a bike rack you don't need wiring at all; for a trailer you need a harness, and the wiring guide covers four-flat and seven-way.
Will it fit my Matrix?
Nearly every build, with a few exceptions. CURT 12221 doesn't fit the Xr & Xrs trim. CURT 12228 doesn't fit the Gt trim. The full fit table is on each product page, so check it before you order.
