CURT parts for the Isuzu i-290
Wiring, ball mount and the rest
A bike rack needs nothing but the hitch. A trailer needs lights, and CURT 55510 ($67.49 CAD) is the four-flat harness that plugs into the i-290's factory connector for 2007 through 2008. No cutting, no scotch-locks. Other years have their own harness; the year page shows the right one.
Then a ball mount sized to the receiver: CURT 45836 ($41.70 CAD) drops straight into a 2-inch receiver. Pick the drop or rise that keeps the trailer level, and match the ball to the coupler. The ball mount guide covers both in two minutes.
Canadian winters eat hitch hardware. Salt and brine get into the receiver and the trailer plug, so a smear of grease on the pin, a cap on the receiver and a rinse under the bumper in spring keep a CURT hitch looking new for years. The rust and salt care guide has the full routine.
Isuzu i-290 hitch questions
Which CURT hitch fits my Isuzu i-290?
It depends on the year. CURT 13252 covers 2007 through 2008, a Class 3 hitch with a 2-inch receiver rated to 4,000 lb. Open your year page and the exact hitch, price and wiring are on it.
Can I put a bike rack on an i-290 with this hitch?
Yes. The 2-inch receiver takes any 2-inch rack, and a loaded rack counts against the hitch's tongue weight (400 lb on CURT 13252), so a four-bike platform rack with bikes on it is well inside the limit.
Can I install the hitch myself?
Most owners do. CURT rates CURT 13252 a novice install, about 30 minutes with hand tools and a jack. The install video above is the real job, uncut.
How much can an i-290 tow with a CURT hitch?
The hitch is rated to 4,000 lb, but the i-290's own tow rating in the owner's manual is the ceiling. The lower of the two numbers is your limit, every time.
