Most Popular Visible Cross Tube for 2012 Toyota Camry

PERFECT FIT AND FAST...... i ordered a draw-tite class ll trailer hitch, t-one wiring harness and drawbar for my 2000 toyota camry..i had planned to have someone install it, but after seeing the instructions i did it myself in 30 minutes. great products.

Got a very good price on a trailer hitch for my '95 Camry. It was fairly simple to install (after watching etrailer.coms video). I use it to haul around my little utility trailer (Harbor Freight) and my 12 ft kayak (BassPro).

While the hitch appears to be built very solidly, I am disappointed in the quality of the powder coated finish. The product was received with multiple chips in the powder coating. Also, the weight label was applied crooked resulting in a very sloppy appearance. Now, instead of installing my hitch today, I have to research the best way to protect the exposed metal. It's unreasonable to have to repair a product straight out of the box.

etrailer delivered everything quickly and the instructions were very good. Installed this on my 2012 Camry to carry a bike rack only, so this hitch was perfect since it doesn't include a ball mount or ball. Figuring out how to drill the one inch holes in each frame rail was the hardest part - there are not a lot of metal bits that big available - my solution was to use a Harbor Freight #96275 step drill. All in all a great experience with etrailer.

My Iowa 2009 Camry has been in a garage it's whole life, so, that helped a lot. Used [online] etrailer video for ease of work. I took longer than they did as I had to work a bit to de-rust a couple of female bolt threads enough to get a bolt on easily.

We bought this 1.25" reciver hitch last year to accommodate a Kuat bike rack. The install was easy, the mounting holes lined up perfectly on our Camry, and the black painted hitch finish still looks new. We are very happy with this purchase.

I didn't cut off any underbody panel pieces. I just made a slit for the hitch to slide through. Also didn't cut off any heat shield. I drilled a hole for the 1/2" screw and torqued it to xx ftlb as instructed. Every thing worked fine. Hard to believe the video instructed to cut off that much. A bit crazy IMO. Also.. super snug fit. So snug I had trouble getting the M12 bolts to line up with the thread in the subframe. Pain the ass, but eventually got it in.

Fast delivery and everything fit perfect. Easy installation after watching etrailers videos. Lowest price I found on the internet for this hitch. Thanks for the great service.

Last Friday evening (right in the middle of October) I finally installed this Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver into my 2003 Toyota Camry. This is a Class II hitch but seems like a Class III one, very sturdy, and the installation was a success. I spend a lot of time cleaning the two holes on the driver side which were exposed to the elements for the last 18 years, and then I actually drove in three old bolts which I took off from the passenger side's muffler mount, and that was preparing for the actual installation of the hitch. I just worked by myself, as my young son is not too mechanically inclined and not interested in such a thing, so I used my own technique, just tied a pleated electrical cable (3/16" diam) to the rear bumper and then I lifted up and suspended the hitch to around the middle part of the bumper. Then I screwed in one bold on passenger end first, then tightening then cable, the screwed in a bolt into the middle hole on the driver side. I used two more bolts on the passenger side, and one more on the driver side. But I have an extra hole on the driver side so I reused one old bolt for the previously never-exposed hole and then tightening all bolts properly. Then on the next day I test drive my car with this hitch and Allen bicycle carrier rack which I loaded two bikes. On thing I noticed is that the lower hanging part of the hitch around the muffler tend to hit the asphalt when came out from a parking lot due to a dip in height (difference) from sidewalk to the main road, may be I was moving a little bit fast for the shock absorber to respond sufficiently. (BTW, our bikes' tires are low in air pressure or just flat because these were not used for a very long while, since COVID-19 pandemic began, and we avoided activities at any public parks and other places, and because we live in a condominium-type of apartments, we were not as "busy bees" except to stay put in the "hive".)

20 minutes install time. 1997 Toyota Camry LE V6. The car frame holes in back(4) were already threaded to accept supplied bolts. No need for nuts or U bolts. I recommend cleaning bolt holes to clear years of dirt/grime. The bolt fitment into threaded holes will be tight but bolts are correct. Makita rechargeable impact driver made install a snap. Use anti seize if you plan on removing at a later date.

Finally got the chance to install this hitch. The written instructions are marginal. They did not cover my hybrid version. The installation videos on etrailer were more helpful. The hitch was a bit off and contacts the tire well on one side. Installation by loosening the exhaust did not work for me. Mine was too tight and I could not move it out of the way to drill. I had to remove the muffler. The instructions for trimming are a bit aggressive. I was able to get the under cover installed with about 25% of the suggested cutting. One thing the instructions left out is a rear edge trim (however, the video did mention this). I also added a strip from (the heat shield scrap) to tie the cover back together and prevent flutter noise while driving. Installed, this hitch appears sturdy. I am sure it will last. Too bad it did not come with a pin or cover.

This is a quality product. It’s designed to fit the car perfectly. Please not though that you’ll need special tools to disconnect/drop the muffler system to install the hitch. I did not have tools to disconnect the muffler/exhaust hangers, so I wound up taking it to a mechanic that installed it for about $100.

Unbelievable fast delivery and securely packaged. Great price also. I was worried about purchasing something over the internet but the trailer hitch and wiring kit arrived securely packaged so there were no scratched, dents, or issues of any kind. I can't say enough positive things about my purchases. I definitely will be back to etrailer.com for more purchases.

Trailer hitch and wiring arrived as scheduled. Product fits the Toyota Camry perfectly. Installation was easy. Excellent service.

outstanding easy and just what I needed great product and price plus the wiring I ordered went in easy as pie

A difficult installation. But, that was not because of the hitch. Once the car was apart, the hitch fit perfectly and bolted right up.

I purchase two different products and installed both, back to back. I did not use a jack or a lift, so it took about 45 minutes to finesse this one into/onto my Toyota Prius. I needed a helper (wife) which made it much easier. This is for a bike rack. Ordered Friday and delivered Monday, fast, fast. Thank you.

I bought this hitch after watching the online videos by etrailer detailing the installation. They make it look a lot easier to install than my experience, but i was not using a lift and had never done it before. The price on this hitch was very good and it was shipped very quickly. It beat the tools that I ordered from another online retailer to do the install, in fact. The packaging was good as well, and protected the hitch. I included a picture of my installation, which admittedly does not show very much, but its a win for me. The hardest part of installation was dealing with the exhaust bracket. I plan on purchasing a bike rack and a cargo rack in the near future, maybe even a small trailer.

This also worked

Very easy install and works perfectly

My son-in-law and I installed this hitch on a 2012 Toyota Prius V. The video for the install on a Prius is accurate for a Prius V with the exception that a Prius V does not have cosmetic cowling on the underbody that has to be removed. The install was straightforward and we had the hitch on in about 45 minutes. Other than the receiver on the hitch, you can't see the hitch without bending down and looking under the bumper. I personally like the aesthetics. We're using the hitch with the Swagman XTC-2 bike carrier and the combination is ideal for transporting our two bicycles. The fit between the hitch and bike carrier is tight and the Swagman allows us to drop the middle bar down for access to open the rear hatch of the vehicle when the bikes are not in the carrier but leaving the bike carrier attached. We bought the Prius V so we could carry passengers, gear and two bicycles on trips. The draw-tite hitch and Swagman XTC-2 give us the flexibility to do that. Here's some pictures to demonstrate as I've had a difficult time finding photos on the web showing a Prius V with hitch and bicycle carrier installed. I have a cover on the hitch receiver in some photos, sorry I took the photos at night with a flash, but hey, I did the review! Good luck. Oh, by the way, like others have written, E Trailer was on top of things from the get go and I received numerous e-mails about the status of my order and follow-up after my receipt. Only took three business days between the date of my order and delivery to my home. The hitch and bike carrier were boxed and then inserted into another heavy duty shipping box. There were a few small tears in the outer box (assume from rough handling by the delivery carrier) but the contents were not damaged in any way. I would definitely order again from etrailer.com.

These are some of the best trailer hitches I know for the Toyota camry. Easy to install. I did order the wrong ball, had to buy another, to large of a bolt size.

Quality product. Worth every penny!

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.

I had ordered 2 through Amazon. Both bent badly. I tried etrailer. Hitch arrived in 2 days, perfect condition. The updates in transit were great. Very impressed. Thank you Joshua for the outstanding service. I put the hitch on today. It looks great on my 08 4runner.

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.

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.

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

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.

Perfect fit and finish, mounts high and tight to underbody for ground clearance, well worth the the modest price, the box makes a nice pad to lay on also

I had picked this brand in particular because one of my friends uses this brand on his car. This is a very well built, sturdy, and clean finished hitch. It came in well packaged and with all the necessary hardware secured and not rattling around. The installation was easy as it was shown on their instructional videos (I even skipped a step i found unnecessary and was still able to install the hitch by myself). The 1.25 hitch was perfect for installing my new bike rack. I'd definitely get this brand hitch again and will refer Curt and the whole etrailer process for purchasing a hitch. A what looked to me a complicated process was made easy with etrailers
