How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Why compact crossovers often land on a two inch Class 3 receiver even when the door-sticker tow rating stays modest.
Watch on YouTube →Shopping a trailer hitch for a Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross in Canada? Start with the model year on the door sticker, then confirm the CURT Class 3 card before you order a ball mount. We stock CURT 13273 Class 3 for listed 2018 through 2022 Eclipse Cross years on this store. Dedicated Eclipse Cross trailer wiring is not cleanly listed beside that hitch today — we call that gap out instead of inventing a harness SKU.
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 Eclipse Cross card below.

Watch on YouTube →CURT 13273 is the Class 3 two inch hitch listed for 2018 through 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross years on this store. That is the steel we actually stock in depth for this crossover. Open your year lander, then confirm the same years on the product card before the hitch goes in the cart.
Keep Outlander shopping on the Outlander guide. Eclipse Cross is its own body and its own CURT card. Sport trim notes on other Mitsubishi pages do not rewrite the 13273 fitment window.
Wiring is the honest gap. We do not list a clean Eclipse Cross four-flat harness beside 13273 the way some Outlander years get a dedicated harness. Do not order a random Mitsubishi harness and hope. Confirm lights fitment separately, or plan a shop conversation, instead of inventing a SKU in this guide.
