CURT parts for the Smart Fortwo
Wiring, ball mount and the rest
A bike rack needs nothing but the hitch. A trailer needs lights, and the wiring guide walks you through four-flat and seven-way for the Fortwo.
Then a ball mount sized to the receiver: CURT 45521 ($51.38 CAD) drops straight into a 1-1/4 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.
Smart Fortwo hitch questions
Which CURT hitch fits my Smart Fortwo?
It depends on the year. CURT 11020 covers 2008 through 2015, a Class 1 hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver rated to 2,000 lb. Open your year page and the exact hitch, price and wiring are on it.
Can I put a bike rack on a Fortwo with this hitch?
Yes. The 1-1/4 inch receiver takes any 1-1/4 inch rack, and a loaded rack counts against the hitch's tongue weight (200 lb on CURT 11020), so a four-bike platform rack with bikes on it is the most you'd want on it.
Can I install the hitch myself?
Most owners do. CURT rates CURT 11020 a novice install, about 45 minutes with hand tools and a jack. The install video above is the real job, uncut.
How much can a Fortwo tow with a CURT hitch?
The hitch is rated to 2,000 lb, but the Fortwo's own tow rating in the owner's manual is the ceiling. The lower of the two numbers is your limit, every time.
