Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2"
Very happy with purchase of this trailer hitch. Installed onto my 2008 Toyota 4Runner 2wd SR5 4.0 with no difficulties at all by myself. I recommend a second person to help lift the other side and to speed up the installation time but it’s possible with one man. 8 bolts, half inch drive, 19mm and 13mm sockets are all that is needed. Estimated novice time is 50 minutes and that is exactly what it took me. No cutting of fascia necessary. However, I did have to unhook the rubber latch on the tail pipe to get the passenger side bolts in (super easy and no problem to do). Two day shipping as promised straight to the front door. Highly recommend etrailer and this hitch receiver.
Arrived in a very timely manner in good shape. Easy install with instructions. I chose not to drop the exhaust as you can get the bolts in easy enough with it on. For the factory seven way plug and bracket i just bent it back and it works great. I have ordered through etrailer before and will do it again in the future ! thanks guys Tyler

I installed this trailer hitch on my 2018 Toyota Sienna. It is very well-built, and fit perfectly. Customer service was very responsive when I had some questions, and responded right away, both by phone and email. The instructions were very good, but could benefit from additional information regarding cutting the car’s rear trim panel. In addition to the cut that needs to be made for the trailer hitch bolting plate to go through on the driver’s side , it also needs to be cut around the main bar / receiver area. Instead of cutting a big slot for the main bar, I cut out around the receiver plates, and put drain holes in the ends that would otherwise collect water. One shortcut that I found was that I was able to move the exhaust out of the way far enough by just removing the rearmost hanger, rather than removing the two hangers as shown in the video.
2012 Sienna LE FWD. Watch the 2011 installation video before you start. This 13105 hitch tucks in even prettier than I expected, and now my brother is jealous. Note I made the cutout in the underbody panel narrower, starting 1.75 inches from the hole (see photo), for a closer fit, and there is still room for torque wrench. I also cut a slit out to the front edge, so I could slip it on with the hitch in place, and for better access to my air hoses inside the left fender. I decided to add Airlift after reading reviews, since on trips I carry a maximum load. Installed single-handed, raised on jack stands.

Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2"
This receiver hitch is heavy duty and very well made. The welds are all smooth and uniform, and the powder coating was great. The bolts and mounting hardware were shipped safely in a sealed plastic bag tucked inside the receiver tube. Install on my Nissan Truck was easy. I would recommend running the threads on the truck frame before attempting to bolt the receiver hitch in place as the factory bolt holes can get filled with dirt and grime.
Excellent fit and finish. Welds are great. Bolted right up - super easy with no problems - I bet it took only 20 minutes to install it to my 22 Frontier, using only a floor jack to support out and a 19mm socket. Shipping was super fast, 2 days. Both the product and etrailer are highly recommended.

I cannot grade the towing capability yet, but this review is on installation. Less than one hour from start till I was putting tools away on the same day of arrival. One man job with the assistance of a rolling floor jack. Put rear up on ramps, hit holes with wd40, used one bolt to test run all threads, did not unhook tailpipe, simply insert the plate in, over, and let it rest on on exhaust (majority of weight still supported by jack). Start with left side, place 1 bolt loosely and then continue to switch sides with two at a time. Used torque wrench at 68 lbs to finish securing. Done. Looks great too! Up next: electrical and trans cooler. Thank you etrailer for the product and videos. Bought the hitch bc of such great reviews.
This can be a one man job if you have ramps and a short step stool. The thing that made the install take longer than 30 minutes was that the bolts on the passenger side would not line up if the drivers side bolts were on. I had to remove all the bolts on the driver side and set the hitch on a step stool 12 inches high so that the driver side was about 3 inches away from the mounting location. This was the only way i could get all three passenger side bolts to line up. Torqued to 69 pound-feet and i was done. Three stars for those three bolts.

I have been looking for a hitch for awhile now and then I came across your web page. I have seen Draw-Tite hitches on quite a few vehicles. So I went on to do a little research and to read quite a few of the reviews on this hitch here. After reading the reviews and the price of the hitch at that time I decided that I had found the hitch for my 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan Crew. I placed the order and the next day received a message that my order had shipped. The box arrived very quickly after I placed my order which was a pleasant surprise. One side of the box was really tore up and the hitch had come free of the strapping inside the box. The only thing inside the box was the hitch with the tongue/receiver wrapped in plastic wrap and the two pieces of cardboard that had come free. I search the inside of the box for some instructions but did not find any at this point so I would know exactly which bolts to take out. The first thing I did was to jack up the back of my van so I had a little more room to work underneath where the hitch was to go. Then I took off the passenger side rear tire to give me better access to the bolts that had to come out for the hitch and for the exhaust system to be lowered. I then took out the five bolts for the hitch and had to take out the three bolts holding up the exhaust to give me room to install the hitch. Then came the hardest part of the whole process and that was getting the hitch up to a point where I could get a bolt started. I tried using the exhaust system to help me but was still having a problem. So I got a cinder block I had in the garage and put it under one end of the hitch which was a better platform and really helped me getting the other side started. From that point on it went really well getting the other side started and then all five bolts in and tightened down. I then stepped back to see what it looked like and at this time I saw something white deep in the hitch receiver/tongue. When I pulled it out I noticed it was the instruction I had looked for earlier. It would have been nice to have these when I first started. A suggestion would be to put a notice on the plastic wrap that is wrapped around the receiver/tongue of the hitch that states "Instruction Enclosed" or "Packing Slip Enclosed" or just tape them to the inside of the box, not hidden inside a wrapped receiver/tongue of the hitch. I then went back and torqued the five bolts to what it stated on the sheet I found. I then put the three bolts back in the exhaust system to get it back in place which basically completed the installation of my Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch.
Went on like a charm. This is my 3rd rodeo with Etrailer. Two receiver, hitches, and a weight distribution camlock. All of them were exactly as promised.

This was installed on a 2016 highlander le plus. As advertised it fits perfectly and looks great. As a DIY-er, I was able to successfully install this hitch alone and make the correct cuts in under an hour. The hitch weights about 50lbs and once you set it into position (with help from jack stands), the screws go right in. It really is as simple as the video available online. Highly suggest this hitch. If negative things happens I will post a follow-up review. I don't expect it. Worth the price!
I received the hitch on time and no damage to the box and no scratches on the hitch. The directions were easy to follow and had the hitch installed in about 1.5 hours, I didn't have to jack up my vehicle (2016 Toyota Highlander), the hitch was light enough that I was able to lay it on my lap and start a bold on each side then work my way back installing the remaining 4 bolts. I torqued the bolts to specifications as stated in the directions then installed the wiring harness, that only took 15 min start to finish. I towed a 5' x 8' [rental] trailer with furniture on a 8 hour trip with no issues. Buying the hitch was cheaper that renting a truck to move my daughter into an apartment for her Junior year of college. Thanks again for a great product at a great price.

Read instructions , gather the tools needed and in less than an hour you are ready to go, for sure less if you get someone to help you, I did it by myself. Great products, awesome service.
I highly recommend this project! It is good quality and a good price. I do suggest getting a swivel socket adapter for the hard to reach places. You don’t need to jack the vehicle up but it is easier to jack it up to my your life easier. Installing it was not hard but it did take me a bit to do it. The shipping was good it came pretty fast and had great packaging and on the order they tell you who even packaged it. All and all I really recommend it

Hitch (Part 13241) and electrics (Part 118266) arrived on time, 40 minutes later everything was installed and connected. Had to ream out the washers to fit the bolts and drill new holes in the Mounting Box (Part 18157) to fit the 7-Way connector ... overall good value.
Fairly quick shipping for a new model year vehicle. 15 minutes to install and looks great, and we'll made. Would highly recommend etrailer.

For an open box item, youd think it was brand new! Came with all the hardware and I installed it in about 10-15 minutes. Torque specs were included with directions as well. A great purchase, Im very happy. Thank you!
I was disappointed that the hitch came slightly bent. I had to use a bottle jack to widen the bolt holes by 1/2-3/4'' in order to bolt the hitch to my car. otherwise it works fine for my 2005 Toyota highlander.

Excellent Hitch for the 2012 Honda Odyssey. The installation is easy if you've got some mechanical skills. Watching the video was a huge help - thanks for those. With a little ingenuity, I was able to do the entire installation alone. Some notes on install. I used a set of ramps, and an ATV jack with some wood to hold the bumper as I removed/installed it. I used the same setup to hold the hitch temporarily as I mounted it using the underside bolts. When it comes to putting the bumper back over the hitch, something the install videos missed - the top bolt holes in the metal bumper have a triangle cut out, meaning you can put the bolt and washer into the top hole a few threads THEN hang the bumper on the bolts ensuring you get the bumpy washers on the inside of the bumper. Then put the front/bottom bolts through the front holes with a socket extension as shown in the video. Cutting the bumper - there is a better way if you know to use a utility knife. I propped the bumper up on sawhorses, then from the inside, I used a 12" framing square and utility knife with a new sharp blade to cut the rectangle and exhaust areas. The trick is to just score lightly first, don’t go crazy, and using the edge of the square, and then progressively cutting deeper - It looks totally pro and is way easier to cut than you may think. Rust – This was actually the hardest part. If your vehicle is older, I highly recommend running the hardware into the rusty holes (likely the exhaust side) all the way to mounting depth before attempting to install anything. Just take your time, and get this right, knowing the bolts will seat before struggling with anything. I ended up using one bolt as a tap, and the other to go to the hardware store to replace the one I modified/damaged. I also removed a very large dent from my bumper with the hot water trick while I had it off. All told, it took 3 hours, alone, and I don’t do this type of thing often. Overall, I'm super happy with the product and glad I took on this little challenge.
The install process itself is easy enough to do on your own but I had problems with cross threading that added additional time and frustration. Cutting the bumper fascia can be done with just a box cutter and elbow grease. It definitely could be done in under 2 hours or even less with help. The only issue I had for not giving 5 stars is the 3 welded pieces in the center of the metal bumper really make it difficult reinstalling the bumper fascia and getting a good fit. I had to disconnect the bumper again and modify the welded pieces in order to get the bumper to fit right without having an obvious imprint on the surface, did what I could but kind of a pain to deal with. I had to use zip ties underneath where the 2 clips are supposed to go as the final alignment wasn't perfect, but it works. Satisfied with it overall.

The Curt Trailer hitch when combined with our 2014 Lexus RX350 provided the easiest and complete DIY install you can get! The vehicle is set up from the factory for a hitch install which set the stage for an awesome result when coupled with the Curt receiver. It could not have been a better situation!
The item arrived on time, was a perfect fit for my car, installed easily (by a professional), and has been great.

EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2"
Love the hitch. Took me awhile to install on my 15’ but worth it. Half day for hitch install for me and another half day for the wiring harness (because I ran a new home run power cable from battery to trunk). Also I installed a permanent 4 pin bracket on my bottom fascia of bumper. Very happy with it!
The fit is perfect. Following the video, installation took about 2 hours. I use it only to carry bikes on my 1up bike rack. This rack works well because you don't use a hitch pin, it's very hard to place the pin. Would recommend this WRX hitch over any other, the only thing hanging below any WRX in the rear should be nice sounding pipes! The picture shows the only body mod I had to do to get a perfect fit, just to make sure hitch didn't rub the rear body.
