Toyota Camry Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)

Shopping a trailer hitch for a Toyota Camry in Canada? Catalog honesty first: we currently stock one primary Class 1 receiver for newer Camry years, plus a short set of older wiring harnesses. This guide covers the live year landers we publish, explains the light-duty CURT 11576 path, and calls out the gaps so you do not chase a SKU we do not sell.

Built for Canadian Camry owners. Free shipping on CURT towing gear from Lots of Parts. New to hitches? Start with the buying guide, bike rack and cargo carrier guide, and wiring guide. Or open the towing guides hub.

Watch these CURT videos first

All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). CURT has published Camry install demos for earlier receiver numbers. Use them for method and expectations, then buy the live SKU we stock today — CURT 11576 for listed 2018 through 2024 Camry applications.

Honest Camry hitch expectations

Toyota Camry is a midsize sedan. The hitch we stock for newer years is Class 1 only: CURT 11576 with a 1.25 inch receiver, rated up to 2,000 lb GTW and 200 lb tongue on the card. Shared Avalon and Lexus ES listings also appear there, with F Sport exclusions called out on the listing.

We do not currently list a Class 2 or Class 3 Camry hitch in the store. Mid-generation Camry year landers for 2007 through 2017 are not published on the site yet, and we do not have a dedicated 2025 Camry hitch lander live today. Older 2000 through 2006 landers remain available, mainly useful alongside earlier wiring such as CURT 55308.

Years What we usually stock
2018–2024 Class 1 hitch: CURT 11576. Live year landers cover 2018 through 2024. We do not currently stock a Camry-specific custom harness for those newer years — Avalon harness CURT 56416 is a related Toyota sedan SKU, not a Camry guarantee. Use the wiring collection or contact us if you need lights for a newer Camry.
2007–2017 No live Camry hitch year landers on the site yet, and no Class 1 Camry hitch SKU currently featured in this guide for those years. Browse the trailer hitches collection or contact support rather than guessing from a missing lander.
2000–2006 Year landers are live. Wiring we stock: CURT 55308 for 2002–2006 Camry on the card. Related older multi-vehicle harness CURT 56079 covers listed Avalon, Camry, and Venza years on its card — confirm Camry rows before you buy.

Never exceed Toyota’s accessory and tongue limits for your Camry. A Class 1 hitch rating is still limited by the sedan underneath it.

Only published landers are linked below. Missing mid years and 2025-plus pages are called out on purpose.

Live landers: 2000–2006 and 2018–2024. Years 2007–2017 and 2025-plus are not published yet.

What Class 1 Camry shopping looks like

The Camry hitch we stock for listed 2018 through 2024 applications, with shared Avalon and ES rows on the card. Stock link: CURT 11576.

  • Best for bike racks and light carriers
  • Not a Class 3 tow package
  • Read F Sport exclusions on the listing
Catalog limits

No Class 2 or Class 3 Camry hitch

If you need a heavier receiver, Camry is the wrong platform in our current CURT lineup. Look at a crossover or truck buyer’s guide instead, or contact us before forcing a sedan into a trailer job it was not built for.

  • Limited SKU count is intentional honesty
  • Mid-year landers are not live yet
  • Newer Camry wiring is thin in catalog

Canada checklist

  • Class 1 is the ceiling here — Camry hitch shopping on our shelves stays light-duty.
  • SKU count is limited — CURT 11576 is the main receiver we stock for newer Camry years.
  • Missing landers are real — 2007 through 2017 and 2025-plus pages are not live yet.
  • Plan for salt season — rinse the open-back receiver and protect any wiring plug when you can.
