How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Match Class 1 to the Crosstour door sticker and the live 11002 rating before you shop anything heavier.
Watch on YouTubeShopping a trailer hitch for a Honda Crosstour in Canada? Start with the door-sticker tow limit, then open the live CURT 11002 Class 1 card. That hitch covers listed Accord Crosstour and Crosstour years with a one and one quarter inch receiver, about two thousand pounds gross trailer weight, and about two hundred pounds tongue weight on the hitch card. This is a light-duty shelf for bike racks, small cargo, and modest trailers that stay under the Honda and hitch limits.
All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). Use them for class selection, install habits, wiring basics, and ball-mount height before you dig into the product cards below.

Watch on YouTubeCURT 11002 is a Class 1 hitch with a one and one quarter inch receiver. On the live card it is rated to about two thousand pounds gross trailer weight and two hundred pounds tongue weight. Those numbers are hitch ratings, not a promise that every Crosstour trim can tow that much.
Fitment on the live shelf spans two thousand ten and two thousand eleven Honda Accord Crosstour plus two thousand twelve through two thousand fifteen Honda Crosstour. Confirm your exact year on the live 11002 page before you order. Regular Accord sedan shopping is a different path when that is the badge in the driveway.
Most Crosstour owners we talk to want bikes, a small cargo tray, or a light utility trailer. Class 1 is honest about that job. Do not stretch a one and one quarter inch tube into Class 3 fantasies.
One and one quarter inch receiver for listed Crosstour years. Confirm year and ratings on the live card before you order.
Open live 11002 product →Parts-counter note. Door sticker first. Hitch second. Accessories must match the one and one quarter inch tube, not a two inch rack borrowed from a truck.
Find the Honda tow and tongue numbers for your trim. The hitch cannot raise that limit.
Confirm your Crosstour year is listed, then note Class 1, one and one quarter inch tube, and the hitch ratings.
Decide harness versus converter after you know what plug the trailer needs. We call the wiring gap honestly below.
One and one quarter inch cover, one-half inch pin, ball mount height, then a first-tow walk-around.
11002 gives a one and one quarter inch opening. Racks and ball mounts must match that tube size.
Early years wear the Accord Crosstour name. Later years drop Accord from the badge. Use the matching year landers below either way.
We do not invent a Crosstour-only CURT harness on this page. Start with the wiring guide, then confirm a live path at the counter.
These year landers are already live. Use them when you want a year-first path into the same hitch shelf.
Always confirm the live 11002 card still lists your year before you order.
Keep the tube covered when empty, pin what you insert, and match ball mounts to the smaller shank. Do not force a two inch rack into a Class 1 tube with a random sleeve story unless the live reducer card and hitch ratings both support that path.
| Topic | What we tell shoppers |
|---|---|
| Door sticker first | A hitch is not a blank cheque. Read the Honda tow limit, then open hitch versus vehicle tow rating. |
| Class 1 honesty | This is a light-duty tube. Bike racks and small trailers fit the story better than heavy utility loads. |
| Bike rack reality | Open hitch for bike rack only when that is the whole job. |
| Wiring path | Start with the wiring harness guide. Do not invent a Crosstour harness here. |
| Receiver size | Match accessories to one and one quarter inch. See the receiver size guide. |
Parts-counter summary: match the listed Crosstour year to 11002, respect the Honda door sticker under the Class 1 hitch rating, keep accessories on the one and one quarter inch tube, and treat wiring as confirm-first.
