How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Why a compact Toyota crossover can still sit in Class 1 territory even when the tube opens to 2 inch.

Shopping a trailer hitch for a Toyota Corolla Cross in Canada? CURT publishes a vehicle-specific Class 1 hitch with a 2 inch receiver for listed 2022 through 2026 years, but that hitch is not on our Shopify shelf today and we do not publish Corolla Cross year landers yet. We also do not stock a Corolla Cross wiring harness in this pass. This guide stays honest about that catalogue gap and points you to related Toyota hitch pages we actually carry.
Built for Canadian Corolla Cross owners. Free shipping on CURT towing gear from Lots of Parts when the SKU is live on this store.

Watch these CURT videos first
All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). There is no dedicated CURT Corolla Cross hitch install on that channel today, so these primers cover selection, technique, wiring, and ball mounts. A RAV4 or Highlander film is a different vehicle — we do not pretend it fits a Corolla Cross.

CURT Install Techniques
General install habits. When a Corolla Cross hitch lands on this shelf, finish with that part’s sheet — not a sibling Toyota film.

CURT’s published Corolla Cross Class 1 card uses a 2 inch opening — unusual for Class 1, and handy for common accessories once a hitch is actually stocked.
Watch on YouTube →What CURT publishes versus what we stock
On CURT’s own catalogue, CURT 11637 is the Class 1 hitch written for listed 2022 through 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross years. Card ratings on that family are typically about 2,000 lb trailer and 200 lb tongue. The unusual detail is the 2 inch receiver tube on a Class 1 card — that helps with common ball mounts and many bike racks, but Toyota’s published tow and tongue numbers for your trim still win. That hitch is not listed as an active product on Lots of Parts today.

What a Class 1 path usually means on a Corolla Cross
Compact crossovers land in Class 1 for a reason. Light trailers, bike racks, and small cargo carriers are the realistic conversation — always within Toyota’s numbers for your gas or hybrid trim. A 2 inch opening on CURT’s published card is nicer for accessory shopping than a 1.25 inch Class 1 tube, but class rating and tongue weight still matter more than tube size.
Until CURT 11637 (or another verified Corolla Cross hitch) is an active listing on Lots of Parts, treat this page as shopping help — not a fake “buy the hitch” button. For connector basics while you wait, read the wiring harness guide and the four-pin versus seven-pin guide.
