Exposure to the elements is inevitable for any trailer hitch. As such, we go to great lengths to ensure that our hitches are well-protected for the road ahead. All CURT trailer hitches undergo our industry-leading co-cured finishing process. First, the hitches are mechanically and chemically descaled. This creates a smooth surface for the rest of the finishing process. Then, they are dipped in a liquid Bonderite® solution, completely immersing the hitch and covering it inside and out with a rust-resistant coating. Next, a black powder coat finish is applied over the top of the Bonderite®. Finally, the two coatings are co-cured together, forming a final finish that offers superior rust, chip and UV protection.
All CURT custom class 1 receiver hitches are designed, manufactured, finished and tested in the USA (may include imported hardware). This gives us direct control over the quality of the hitch and ensures dependability for you on each and every adventure. This trailer hitch for Honda Element comes with a class 1 ball mount, hitch pin and all necessary hardware for the installation (Note: A trailer ball is not included with this package and must be purchased separately if needed).
