This fits: 2012-2019 Fiat 500 Abarth
However you define adventure -- whether it's climbing onto the back of a mountain bike, hunting from the top of a tree stand or camping with the family a long way from nowhere -- CURT class 1 hitches provide a light-duty towing receiver to help you Bring It. Each is made to fit a specific vehicle, providing easier installation, a better fit and optimal towing capacity. Custom class 1 trailer hitches are available for a variety of smaller vehicle types, including the compact car, crossover, minivan and small SUV. This particular class 1 hitch is designed to be a custom hitch for certain years of the Fiat 500 (to verify vehicle compatibility, see the CURT application guide at curtmfg.com). Tested in accordance with SAE J684, it offers a weight carrying capacity of 2,000 lbs. GTW and 200 lbs. TW. It is equipped with 1-1/4" receiver tube opening to accept a ball mount shank or other hitch mount. This class 1 hitch also comes with all necessary mounting hardware. With its lightweight design and smaller receiver tube size, a class 1 hitch is especially useful for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted bike rack or cargo carrier. They can also typically be used to tow small trailers such as a utility trailer, kayak trailer or teardrop camper (never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component; i.e. the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc). Though CURT class 1 trailer hitches are only intended for light-duty towing, we apply the same principles of quality as we do to the rest of our rear mount hitches. Each class 1 hitch is made with hands-on engineering, high-strength steel and precise welding. We use a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat, inside and out, and durable black powder coat to provide a lasting defense against rust, chips and UV rays.
Trailer hitch weight ratings are limited to vehicle manufacturer's stated capacities
Not compatible for use with vertical hanging bicycles (bike racks that require the bicycles to be hung / mounted vertically)
Includes installation hardware

The 2012-2019 Fiat 500 Abarth Class 1 Trailer Hitch, 1-1/4" Receiver + 2" Ball + 1-7/8" Ball Kit (Part #CHD-11347-001) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, CURT hitch 11347 is designed specifically for 2012-2016 FIAT 500 ABARTH hatchback models. The hitch is a weight-carrying style with a maximum trailer weight capacity of 2,000 lbs and tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. Always verify your vehicle's manufacturer-recommended towing capacity before towing.
The maximum trailer weight is 2,000 lbs and the maximum tongue weight is 200 lbs. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower than these limits.
Hitch 11347 is designed for use with CURT ballmount #D-55001/45501, or with CURT Euro ballmounts #45571 (1 7/8" ball) or #45572 (2" ball).
Required tools include: safety glasses, spray lubricant, T15 torx bit, ratchet, 6" ratchet extension, socket set (11mm, 13mm, 5/16", 7/16"), power drill with 7/16" drill bit, aviation shears, and torque wrench. A 6" socket extension is also needed.
Two people may be required to ease installation. The manual recommends reading all instructions thoroughly before beginning and notes that using proper tools will greatly improve the quality of the install and reduce the time required.
The installation is rated as moderate difficulty. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, CURT recommends contacting an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance. You can also call CURT Technical Support at 877-287-8634 for help.
The first step is to remove the rear plastic diffuser by removing 2 T15 torx screws and 2 5/16" screws from the bottom, then carefully disconnecting clips from inside the plastic. Pull the piece gently away from the rear of the vehicle. Set it aside for trimming and reassembly later.
Lower the exhaust by removing rubber exhaust hangers from hanger rods in one location on the driver side and one location on the passenger side. The additional exhaust hanger bracket on the passenger side must be completely removed from the vehicle frame (if equipped). Remove and return the bracket and hardware to the vehicle owner.
The hitch mounts to 2 M8 weld nuts and 3 existing holes in the vehicle frame. The weld nuts are located on the frame rails and can be found by removing protective tape. Square plugs in the frame rails reveal square access holes; remove these plugs to access the mounting points. Return the plugs to the vehicle owner after installation.
Yes. Using a 7/16" drill bit, you must enlarge a hole rearward of the square holes on the driver side frame rail. This enlargement is necessary to accommodate the carriage bolts and spacer blocks that mount the hitch.
Fishwiring is a technique used to route the 7/16" carriage bolts and spacer blocks through the frame mounting holes. You thread the 7/16" carriage bolts and spacer blocks up through the square hole and down through the mounting holes as shown in the installation diagram. This allows you to secure the hitch without pushing the carriage bolts back up into the frame rails.
Torque all 7/16" carriage bolt fasteners to 70 lb-ft. Torque all M8 fasteners to 26 lb-ft. Use a torque wrench to ensure proper tightening.
Raise the exhaust back into position and secure it to the vehicle hangers. Note that for enclosed mufflers, the passenger side exhaust bracket has been replaced with a hanger that is now integral to the hitch, so no separate bracket is needed in that location.
The plastic diffuser must be trimmed to create a cutout centered on the hitch. The trim diagram shows a 3.00 inch vertical dimension and 4.50 inch horizontal dimension for the cutout. Center the cutout carefully, then clip and secure the piece back in place using aviation shears.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. This ongoing maintenance is important for safe operation.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product.
All non-trailer (wheel-less) loads applied to this product must be supported by CURT 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty. For further information, see the CURT catalog or visit www.curtmfg.com.
The kit includes: 2 washers (S-CON, 3/8"), 2 M8 x 1.25 x 30 hex bolts (grade 10.9), 3 7/16-14 UNC carriage bolts (1-1/4", grade 8), 3 7/16-14 UNC serrated flange nuts (grade 8), 3 square hole spacers (0.250 x 1.00 x 2.00"), and 3 pieces of 7/16" fishwire.
Yes. For enclosed mufflers, the passenger side exhaust bracket has been replaced with a hanger that is now integral to the hitch. This means you do not need a separate exhaust bracket on the passenger side when installing the hitch.
CURT 11347 is designed for 2012-2016 FIAT 500 ABARTH hatchback only. Maximum towing capacity is 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight, but never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended capacity.
You need a power drill with 7/16" bit, torque wrench, ratchet with sockets (11mm, 13mm, 5/16", 7/16"), T15 torx bit, 6" extension, aviation shears, spray lubricant, and safety glasses.
Yes. You must use a 7/16" drill bit to enlarge a hole on the driver side frame rail. You also must trim the rear plastic diffuser with aviation shears to create a 3.00" x 4.50" centered cutout.
Yes. You must lower the exhaust by removing rubber hangers on both the driver and passenger sides. On the passenger side, the additional exhaust bracket must be completely removed from the frame (if equipped).
Torque all 7/16" carriage bolts to 70 lb-ft and all M8 bolts to 26 lb-ft using a torque wrench.
Maximum trailer weight is 2,000 lbs and tongue weight is 200 lbs. Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. All non-trailer loads must be supported by CURT 18050 stabilizing straps.
Two people may be required to ease installation. If you are hesitant, contact an authorized CURT installer or call technical support at 877-287-8634.
