How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Why a Fit often lands on a Class 1 one and one quarter inch receiver for bike racks and light cargo when the door sticker agrees.
Watch on YouTube →Shopping a trailer hitch for a Honda Fit in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year, then open CURT 11064. That Class 1 hitch uses a one and one quarter inch receiver for listed 2009 through 2013 Fit years on the live card, and it is the dedicated Fit hitch we keep deepest in stock here. Wiring is a separate carton. CURT 56011 is a four-flat custom harness the live card lists for 2007 through 2013 Fit among other cars, so match your year on that harness card before night towing. Later Fit years land on a different harness window without a matching Fit hitch SKU on this shelf, and we stay honest about that gap. Confirm ratings on each live product card, and keep Civic or Element on their own guides when those badges are on the door.
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 Fit cards below.

Watch on YouTube →CURT 11064 is the Fit hitch we stock deepest for listed 2009 through 2013 years. It is a Class 1 hitch with a one and one quarter inch receiver on the live card. The live description lists about two thousand pounds gross trailer weight and two hundred pounds tongue weight for that fitment, but always confirm the numbers on the product card before you load. Pair it with a matching pin, lock, cover, and ball mount that fit a one and one quarter inch tube. Do not guess a two inch accessory into this opening.
| Topic | What we tell shoppers |
|---|---|
| Class 1 reality | 11064 is Class 1 with a one and one quarter inch tube. Match pins, locks, covers, and rack shanks to that opening. Confirm ratings on the live hitch card. |
| Hitch year window | 11064 lists 2009 through 2013 on the live card. Later Fit years need an honest hitch check. We do not invent a later Fit hitch SKU here. |
| Wiring window | 56011 lists 2007 through 2013 Fit on its live card. A later Fit harness on the shelf is not a substitute when your hitch year is 2009 through 2013. |
| Receiver size | One and one quarter inch accessories fit this Class 1 tube. See the receiver size guide. |
| Door sticker | Hitch class is not the Honda tow limit. Read the door sticker before you load tongue weight. |
| Related shelves | Keep Civic on its own guide when that badge is on the door. Element hitch shopping stays on the live product card and year landers when an Element buyer guide is not published yet. |
| Install habits | Use the CURT install techniques video, then recheck hardware after the first trips. See hitch bolt torque tips. |
| Lights and fuses | Walk lights before the first tow. If a fuse blows after a harness install, open trailer wiring fuse tips. |
