Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)

Shopping a trailer hitch for a Mitsubishi Outlander Sport in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year and whether the badge says Outlander Sport or RVR, then open the matching CURT card. We stock CURT 13079 as a Class 3 hitch with a two inch receiver, three thousand five hundred pounds gross trailer weight, and three hundred fifty pounds of tongue weight on the hitch card for listed 2011 through 2026 Outlander Sport years and listed 2011 through 2024 RVR years. CURT 12048 is the Class 2 path with a one and one quarter inch receiver for the same Sport and RVR windows when you want the smaller tube. CURT 56127 is the four-flat wiring path for listed 2011 through 2019 Outlander Sport years on a shared Lancer card. Full-size Outlander already has its own buyer guide, and we keep that shelf separate.

Which CURT hitch fits your Outlander Sport

Pick class and receiver size on purpose. CURT 13079 is the deep in-stock Class 3 path with a two inch tube for listed Outlander Sport and RVR years on the live card. CURT 12048 is the Class 2 path with a one and one quarter inch tube for shoppers who already own one and one quarter inch racks or mounts. Both hitch cards share the same broad Sport and RVR year windows on this shelf. Wiring 56127 covers listed 2011 through 2019 Outlander Sport years and does not invent a later harness for years the card does not list.

Class 3 · Sport and RVR · two inch CURT 13079 Listed 2011 through 2026 Outlander Sport and 2011 through 2024 RVR Class 3 hitch with a two inch receiver. Strongest Sport hitch qty on this page. Class 2 · Sport and RVR · one and one quarter inch CURT 12048 Listed Outlander Sport and RVR Class 2 hitch with a one and one quarter inch receiver when you want the smaller tube on the same year windows.

Parts-counter notes before you click buy

Topic What we tell shoppers
Class choice 13079 is Class 3 with a two inch tube. 12048 is Class 2 with a one and one quarter inch tube. Match pins, locks, covers, and rack shanks to the tube you buy.
Sport versus full Outlander Outlander Sport and RVR sit on this page. Full-size Outlander already has its own buyer guide. Do not stretch Sport cards onto a three-row Outlander.
RVR badge Canada often badges this crossover as RVR. The live hitch cards list both names. Confirm the year window on the product page.
Hitch ratings These hitch cards rate three thousand five hundred pounds gross trailer weight and three hundred fifty pounds of tongue weight. The door sticker still rules.
Wiring window 56127 lists Sport years through 2019. We are not inventing a later Sport harness on this page. Confirm lights separately for later years.
Receiver size Two inch accessories do not fit a one and one quarter inch tube without a purpose-built adapter conversation. See the receiver size guide.
Door sticker Hitch class is not the Mitsubishi tow limit. Read the door sticker before you load tongue weight.
Eclipse Cross Eclipse Cross already has its own buyer guide. Keep that shelf separate from Sport.
Install habits Use the CURT install techniques video, then recheck hardware after the first trips. See hitch bolt torque tips and what is in the hitch box.

Year pages we publish for Outlander Sport

Year jumps we publish that overlap the live Outlander Sport hitch cards. Open the lander that matches the model year on your door sticker.

These are the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport hitch year pages we publish today. Confirm product-card years before you buy. We do not invent years that are not on this list.

Canada RVR year pages on the same hitch shelf

When the badge says RVR instead of Outlander Sport, these are the RVR hitch year pages we publish that overlap the same live hitch cards.

RVR landers sit here for Canada shoppers who see that badge on the hatch. Still open the product card and confirm the RVR year window before you treat a lander as a buy button.

Bike rack and light trailer reality

Plenty of Outlander Sport owners in Canada want a hitch-mounted bike rack, a small utility trailer, or both. Class 3 capacity on 13079 is not permission to ignore the door sticker. If you only need a rack, read hitch for bike rack only and still match shank size to the tube you buy. For ball-mount height, open ball mount guide and how to measure ball mount drop. For plain-English drawbar versus ball-mount wording, see drawbar versus ball mount.

Step 1Confirm badge and year

Outlander Sport versus RVR versus full-size Outlander. Wrong badge is the fastest Sport misfire.

Step 2Pick tube size

Two inch Class 3 on 13079 versus one and one quarter inch Class 2 on 12048. Match accessories to the tube.

Step 3Add wiring if needed

Choose 56127 only when the harness list matches your Sport year. Later years stay an honest lighting gap.

Step 4Plan the install

Watch the CURT install video habits, then use the weekend checklist before you block a driveway day.
