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

After a year, its still holding strong. I even got rear-ended with my bike rack attached. The rack was damaged, but the hitch held strong and the bolts were still in place.
Its great i just bought a pretty decent size trailer to hall my dirtbike and its a very sturdy part . Thanks
I’m obsessed w/ the quality of my trailer hit receiver! I’m so glad i shopped around before just buying anything, it was so easy to install & torque down.
I ordered this hitch for my 2014 Corolla for use with my Swagman XC bike rack. I am pleased with the quality of this hitch, it is much heavier duty than I expected. It bolted up easily with the supplied hardware and looks great. Hardly noticeable. The bike rack fits perfectly. Now I am ready to hit the trails.

I use the hitch for my bike rake. The hitch was super easy to install and looks good on the car. I have recommended your site to several others.
Easy install perfect for bike rack

Still working great. Purchased a 2014 corolla and took it off the 2007 and bolted right up.

Fits nicely. The holes were in the sub frame already so would have been an easy install. The bolt holes had bad rust and the supplied bolts would not start. Had to buy a new tap and chase the threads. Went in fine after that.

the trailer hitch and wiring are both working well for us after about a years use . after having this thing for awhile i find it is just what i needed . i like the fact that when it is not being used the wiring goes in the trunk out of the weather .
I bought this hitch before. Bought again only because of being in a car accident and the first one got slightly bent. This hitch on the previous vehicle accompanied me on many mountain bike trips and worked great with my bike rack. No doubt this second purchased one will do the same. The first one was on a 2011 Toyota Carolla. Second is one a 2013.
The hitch receiver was exactly what I needed for my Corolla. The installation was exactly as the video described. The threads on my car's frame were a little rusty, being 6 years old now, so I had to run a m12 x 1.25 tap through the threads on the vehicle to clean them out. The bolts went right in, and they even specify torque in the kit instructions. This will be great for towing my small trailer.
This hitch fits like a glove and looks and feels like a quality hitch. Mounted and ready to go in less than 10 minutes. The bolt holes in the frame of most vehicles will have a small amount of paint on the threads. If you start the bolts and then remove before mounting hitch it will save a lot aggravation as starting the bolts can sometimes take effort when paint and road grime are present. I learned this mounting another hitch. A small amount of WD-40 doesn’t hurt either. Shipping was lightening fast, arriving the next day- yes less than 24 hours ( I do live in the same state but nonetheless it takes a staff on the move to get items out the door as quick as etrailer. ) Another great experience with this company.

I see that youre using an adapter so your 2 inch bike rack will work in your Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. Please be aware that an adapter will lower the tongue weight capacity of the hitch maximum amount of downward force that can safely be applied by half, from 200 to 100 lbs. This means that the weight of the bikes plus the rack that carries them should not exceed 100 lbs. It looks like youre using a 3-bike rack. The hitch and bike rack manufacturers agree that no more than 2 bikes should be carried on a rack used in a Class I hitch, due to its lower tongue weight capacity. That third bike places a lot of additional leverage further away from the vehicle, which can result in the rack, hitch or the attachment point between the hitch and vehicle to be damaged.
Excellent service at the best price!! It arrived today much sooner than I expected and it is already installed and ready to mount my bike rack. Thank you very much!!
Good product for my 2013 Corolla. Hitch is well designed and made. Good installation instructions. Easy to install. Thank you.
I check the mounting holes and they were blocked up, so I sprayed wd40 in there and scrubbed the holes with a small wire brush. Made the holes were and easy to screw the bolts in. Mounted the receiver hitch by myself and torqued it down. Really like it, may use it for other things besides the bike.
The product arrived in three days from order. Being in a rural area you can't beat that.
Installation was simple and straight forward. There was nothing to remove on my 2005 Corolla and only minor was cleaning of the threaded holes was required. There is limited clearance under this car for installation so the biggest challenge was getting the first bolt started near the exhaust pipe as the location of the pipe makes it almost impossible get you hand in there to start the bolts. A 6" or so extension is a must. I used a 1/2" ratchet with a 1/2"-3/8" adapter, 6" extender, and long 19mm socket. The directions recommend 9" extension, but this was plenty. The other requirement is a torque wrench. 86 ft/lbs isn't a challenge for lug nuts, but with the extension and awkward position it requires some strength. I was surprised at how far I was from the torque spec with the 1/2" ratchet.
On the ground installation estimate of 30 minutes is accurate without rushing. On a lift this would be a cinch.
This is a nice, well built, sturdy product, and as a final perk it is Made in America.
This hitch works beautifully. I have most certainly loaded it to capacity and put it through it's paces now over the last year. It will definitely handle the advertised load. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars, is that it changes the way my car looks pretty substantially. I really love the way my corolla looked before the hitch and it is just a bit bulkier than I would like with the hitch on it. It would be nice if it had a more discrete profile.
Delivery was prompt and as promised, installation of the actual hitch was as is it as installing 4 bolts, there was really nothing to it the only mistake I made was to try and install it on my own, I recommend not to try it, it's a lot easier with someone helping you keeping it level while you put that 1st bolt after that help is really not needed.
Overall a great experience buying from etrailer, great product, excellent communication from the time you place the order to the time you get your product.
The hitch was purchased to install a bike rack and carry a couple bikes on it, at this time I have not tried to install a rack or carry any bikes once I actually use it I might be back for and update, overall I like it so far.
Some pictures are attached.
This is an excellent product quality made, but it is not a 20-minute job for a New York car. The bolt holes in the vehicle were corroded so badly on a six-year-old car that they had to be re-drilled and re-fitted and the bolts for the trailer hitch had to be re-tapped it’s very sturdy, holds up well even after the modifications we had to do. I highly suggest if you want a trailer hitch on your car in Northern New York, don't wait until it’s six years old.
I love the trailer hitch we were able to put on my car so I could attach a bike rack. It took my husband extra time because my car is ten years old and MN winters had done some damage to the holes needed to attach but he did it and we are thrilled with the product. Thanks for such a great product!
Easy to install after I used a tap to clean the treads on my vehicle. the tap I bought from another online retailer "Drill America m12 x 1.25 High Speed Steel Metric 4 Flute Bottoming Hand Tap, DWT Series". I use this hitch to mount a two bike rack on my vehicle.
I am very happy with this! It was easy to put on & now I can take my bike easily where I want to go. It is also pretty sturdy compared to others. Thanks!

Great Job & look! Used it to pull a pickup trailer with the ability to use its lights. I also use it to transport my bike for cycling. I love my hitch!
Ex stream lt fast free shipping. Ordered on Saturday. Received on Tuesday Best price I could find. Product fit like a glove. Took 15 minutes to install. I got this trailer hitch for a bike rack in my daughters 2015 corolla.
Fits exactly on 2007 Toyota Corolla, very easy to install 4 bolts and conical washers then torque it to 86ft/lb that’s it

I’ve been using it for a year now and still working very well and the finish is still clean no sign of rust or any issues.
This is a great trailer hitch, very easy to install, took my husband and I less than 30 minutes. It fit perfectly to our 2015 Toyota Corolla and it looks great, just what we needed for our bike carrier.
Hitch arrived timely and the box was not damaged at all. I first had to go to buy a 10" 1/2" ratchet extension and a 1/2" 9mm socket. I had no help so it was kind of difficult at first to position the hitch so that I could attach the first side, but a flower pot fit the bill as my extra set of hands! All in all considering this was a first for me, it took about 2 hours to do it myself including the run to Harbor Freight. I took my time doing it!

Been using the receiver hitch for about a year now, used multiple times with no issues. Looks and functions as well as when e got it. No scratches or road scuffs.
