Mitsubishi RVR Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)

Shopping a trailer hitch for a Mitsubishi RVR in Canada? Start with the door-sticker tow limit, then open the live CURT shelf we stock for listed RVR years. In Canada the RVR badge is the local name for the Outlander Sport crossover, and the hitch cards name both. CURT 13079 is the deepest Class 3 card on this shelf today, with a two inch receiver rated about three thousand five hundred pounds gross trailer weight and three hundred fifty pounds tongue weight on the live card. CURT 12048 is the Class 2 path with a one and one quarter inch receiver for the same RVR and Outlander Sport year band when you want the smaller tube. Door sticker first. Hitch second.

What the live CURT RVR cards actually cover

CURT 13079 is a Class 3 hitch with a two inch receiver for listed two thousand eleven through two thousand twenty-four Mitsubishi RVR years on the live card, alongside listed Outlander Sport years on that same sheet. On the hitch card it rates about three thousand five hundred pounds gross and three hundred fifty pounds tongue. That is the deepest in-stock RVR path on this storefront today, and it is the better match when you want two inch bike racks, cargo carriers, or a small utility trailer that needs the larger tube.

CURT 12048 is the Class 2 sibling with a one and one quarter inch receiver for the same RVR and Outlander Sport year band. The live card also lists about three thousand five hundred pounds gross and three hundred fifty pounds tongue, but the tube is the smaller Class 2 opening. Prefer 12048 when you already own one and one quarter inch accessories, or when the smaller receiver is all the door sticker and the job need. Prefer 13079 when you want the two inch ecosystem most Canadian shops stock for racks and mounts.

CURT 56127 is a live four-flat wiring harness that names listed RVR years on the early end of that card and longer Outlander Sport years on the same sheet. Read the live year list carefully. Later RVR years may sit outside that harness window even when the hitch card still fits. If the badge in the driveway says Outlander Sport instead of RVR, keep shopping on the Outlander Sport hitch buyer guide. Same hitch cards. Different Canadian badge search.

Parts-counter note. Prefer 12048 when you want the one and one quarter inch Class 2 tube. Open 56127 only when your year still sits on that four-flat card. Keep Outlander Sport siblings on their own guide when that is the badge.

Hitch versus vehicle tow rating

How to shop without getting lost

Step 1Read the door sticker

Find the Mitsubishi tow and tongue numbers for your engine and drivetrain. The hitch cannot raise that limit.

Step 2Pick the tube size

13079 for two inch Class 3. 12048 for one and one quarter inch Class 2. Match accessories to the opening.

Step 3Confirm lights by year

56127 covers listed early RVR years on the live card. Later years may need a different confirmed path.

Step 4Keep trailers honest

Three thousand five hundred pounds on the hitch card is not a blank cheque. Many RVRs tow far less per the sticker.

Receiver

Class 3 or Class 2

Always confirm the live hitch card still lists your year before you order. Related Outlander Sport landers also exist when that is the badge in the driveway.

Accessories that match the receiver

Keep the tube covered when empty, pin what you insert, and quiet chatter with a kit sized for your tube. If you bought 13079, use two inch accessories. If you bought 12048, use one and one quarter inch accessories instead.
