The hitch works great. Can't wait for warmer weather so I can haul my bike to the bike trails! My husband even installed it for me at home.10506

Bought a Curt hitch for my Subaru Outback. It fit well without any drilling, Just had to trim the rear bumper a bit. No big deal really. The 1-1/4" to 2" adapter I bought is also a Curt. There seems to be a little slop but that in no way reflects the great customer service I received in separate orders with etrailer. Quick shipping on both orders and price matching on my latest. Great service was what brought me back when I recently replaced my vehicle and needed a new hitch setup.6842

Curt's fault, but the hitch was about 3/8" too narrow. Had to break out a sledgehammer and put spacers in different places to mount the hitch. Once I got it on there though, I am completely satisfied with it. It is getting the job done, but I would have concerns about putting the rated load on there. (2000/200 on the '93 Subaru Legacy)52024

Shipped fast. Quality product. Easy installation. Took me a little longer than the estimated install time, dealing with the evap canister mount on my subaru, but went together as designed.24366

I was pretty confident in my ability to install my new hitch even before I started shopping. Once I found etrailer.com and checked out the install videos my confidence was certainly increased. The hitch and wiring harness were packed well, very securely, and delivered on time. In fact, after placing my order I was emailed to say that it was able to be expedited so it would arrive on Friday rather than Monday. Score 1 for etrailer.com. Set out Saturday morning to install and literally EVERYTHING went exactly as the video and instructions said they would and I managed to get it done in just under 45 minutes with very basic hand tools. I would definitely do business with etrailer.com again and have already made many recommendations. Thanks!!23021

Great product! Super-easy to install with just a little reading in the comments. I used ramps instead of jack stands (with carefully blocked front wheels) but about 45 minutes later I had a trailer hitch (on my '02 Outback H4) and two hours after that I was towing my first trailer. It needed a TINY bit of tightening after the first 100 miles with the trailer but the ensuing several hundred have left it firmly attached. 78510

The hitch was great, and the install was relatively straight forward. The product could have been packaged better. There was quite a bit of extra room in the box, and the hitch arrived bent. Luckily we had a LARGE bumper jack to straighten it out. 5/5 for the product. 2/5 for the packaging.69819

Installed on my 01 Outback in order to use a rear bike rack. Received expedited shipping at no cost. Etrailer had the best price for this which includes everything you need for installation (fishwire) and a drawbar/pin for towing. Tips for installation: 1. Jack the car and place on jack stands. Put on eye protection. 2. Remove carbon canister AND bracket in the right rear corner (looking from the back of the car). You need to remove 3 nuts and 2 bolts using 13 mm and 12 mm sockets. The actual canister and bracket can be left to hang. 3. Fishwire the bolt and spacer into the LARGE hole closest to the tow hooks. 4. Install hitch with BOTH vertical surfaces which bolt on to the tow hooks to the LEFT of them. 5. Thread the nuts to the carriage bolt first, lightly and then thread the nuts to he tow hooks/holes maximally first (don't forget to use a spacer on either side of tow hook). You need a 3/4 socket and use correct torque wrench setting. 6. Torque the carriage bolt nuts down next. 7. Reinstall bracket and canister and unjack. You are done.58173

Great product - easy to install (helps to have two people and an impact wrench) - only took us half an hour or so. In retrospect, we did not see why there was a need to lower the exhaust to do this install - we did it, but it seemed to serve no purpose. The drawbar - I probably won't ever use the one supplied - the 3/4" rise is not nearly enough for most attachments - I put a 3" riser on it and it matches up much better with my log splitter, trailer, etc. Also, given that the mounting (on an Outback) is so far in, you may find that safety chains on your attachments need to be extended to reach the holes on the receiver.56135

My hitch and accessories arrived much faster than was originally quoted! Amazing service! The hitch fit was ok ( I have a 99 Outback Limited ), as I had to use some spacers to make it line up correctly. It lined up in the frame/ carriage bolt area just fine, but the area where it hangs down it was a little off and I had to use some elbow grease to make the bolts go through. Haven't hauled anything with it yet, but it looks great and I installed it by myself in a little over an hour. Overall great looking hitch ( looks stock ) and great customer service from etrailer!!!55409

I installed this hitch on a 13 year old outback wagon. I'm not a great direction follower and it was a pretty straight forward process, but taking a few minutes and reading the simple directions was very helpful! You just need a couple of 3/4 wrenches or sockets plus a torque wrench and it is a job anyone could do. I'm pleased with the quality of the hitch and will buy from etrailer again!49266

Very well made and heavy duty. It literally took less than 30 minutes to install (with hand tools). Very happy, would highly recommend. Customer Service and communication was also outstanding. Received updated emails regarding status of order. Quaity and service was nothing less than excellent. No fuss, no muss - from ordering, receiving and installation. We will submit pictures of it in use soon.43276

Hitch is of good quality and instructions are pretty easy to follow. The problem was the hitch was delivered bent, it is really beefy so I have no idea if it was sent that way or UPS managed to bend or drop it during shipment. It took me, a friend, a lift, and lots of prying and cussing to get it to line up enough to get the bolts to line up. I would have given up if I was trying to install this without the help of the lift. 21052

my package arrived very quickly and in good condition. and i must say i was surprised at the quality evident in its construction and the paint job on it. looks baked on and not simply a spray paint job. the metal is very well welded and of ample thickness. i do not forsee any problems with it. and on my Subaru Outback I had been looking for a trailer hitch for quite a while and was always told that there were none made for it. I lucked on your site on the net during a search. glad i did. thank you for a beautiful product for a limited size market like the outback. 16979
