How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Why a compact luxury sedan often lands on a Class 1 one and one quarter inch receiver when the door sticker and hitch card agree.
Watch on YouTube →Shopping a trailer hitch for an Infiniti Q50 in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year, then open CURT 11407. That Class 1 hitch uses a one and one quarter inch receiver for listed 2014 through 2024 Q50 years on the live card, excluding Sport. It is the dedicated Q50 Class 1 hitch we keep in stock here for that badge. Confirm the live ratings, match your year before you order, and treat the Infiniti tow limit on the door sticker as the final word even when a receiver is on the car.
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 Q50 card below.

Watch on YouTube →CURT 11407 is the Q50 hitch we stock for listed 2014 through 2024 years. It is a Class 1 hitch with a one and one quarter inch receiver. The live description lists about two thousand pounds gross trailer weight and two hundred pounds tongue weight for that fitment. Those numbers only matter after the Infiniti door sticker and owner manual agree with your plan. Confirm them on the product card before you hang bikes or tow anything.
The live card excludes Sport. If your door sticker says Sport, stop and confirm fitment before you buy. The live card notes novice install difficulty and about thirty minutes of install time, with a concealed main body for a cleaner look under the bumper. Match pins, locks, and covers to the one and one quarter inch opening.
| Topic | What we tell shoppers |
|---|---|
| Door sticker first | A hitch is not a blank cheque. Read the Infiniti tow limit, then open hitch versus vehicle tow rating. |
| Sport exclusion | 11407 excludes Sport on the live card. Confirm your trim before you checkout. |
| Class 1 honesty | 11407 is Class 1 with a one and one quarter inch tube and modest live ratings. Do not assume a cargo trailer just because a receiver is on the car. |
| Wiring gap | We do not invent a Q50-only four-flat when the shelf does not carry one that lists this badge. Open the wiring harness guide for Canada plug basics. |
| Receiver size | Match accessories to the one and one quarter inch tube. See the receiver size guide. |
| Install habits | Live card notes novice install around thirty minutes with a concealed main body. Recheck hardware after the first trips. See hitch bolt torque tips. |
| Bike rack reality | Many Q50 hitch buyers only want bikes or a small cargo box. Open hitch for bike rack only when that is the whole plan. |
| Luxury sedan cousins | Lexus ES and BMW 3 Series keep their own guides when those badges are on the door. See the Lexus ES hitch buyers guide. |
Year jumps we publish for the Q50. Open the lander that matches the model year on your door sticker, then confirm the live hitch card still lists that year. We only link landers that already exist.
