Honda Civic Trailer Hitches & Towing

Simple and easy to install. The difficult work is drilling the holes. Read more Curt Receiver Hitch customer reviews.

First off, I love how discreet this base plate is. You hardly notice it unless you are looking for it. It is very solid and I feel safe towing with it. Now for the negatives. The install of this base plate was pretty rough. I had to grind some of the welds on the plate and some of the frame of the car to get this to fit properly. Otherwise it wouldn't have slid on there right and been straight. Also, there is an existing bolt hole that they tell you to line up with the plate and use one of the provided bolts and drill out the rest of the holes. They supplied the wrong size bolt! I believe it was an M12 and it needed to be more like a M8. I bought the right size of bolt and with the bolt in, the rest of the base plate didn't line up! It is supposed to be flush with the front of the car frame and with this bolt in, it made the plate stick out about 1/4" and angle downward. So, I ended up adjusting the plate, drilling a new hole, and just using a nut and bolt I had in the garage. The base plate looks good and if it wasn't for the install process being so terrible I would be giving it 5 stars all the way across! I uploaded one of the pictures I had where I had to grind some of the weld. I had to do this on both sides. Read more Blue Ox Baseplate customer reviews.

Fit right. Arrived fast. All hardware and instructions included.

Great looking hitch and fairly easy to install even by myself in the garage. The only thing that was in question was that instructions said to cut into the underbody shield but I couldnt see any reason to cut it since the hitch went below the shield. But everything else was spot on.

Bought for rear bike rack as opposed to using roof rack. Reasonable to install in your driveway without ramps or a lift. Clearances with a torque wrench are tight, but doable. Recommend having a helper for part of the install. Keep in mind suggested install time is for a pro w/lift. 2 hour install time not including reading the instructions thoroughly due to fishing bolts through frame.

Easy instructions, simple installation, and all the parts were there. Installed without jacking the vehicle up. I am 68 years young.
