As a first time user of etrailer.com, I am writing to express how pleased I was with the service, timeliness of delivery, and quality of product. I found the service representative very helpful in providing information and answering my questions; she assisted in ensuring the correct hitch for my vehicle. The product was received the next day - very fast considering I live in a different state! Installation went smoothly, exactly as shown on the video provided on the site. As indicated by the rating, I recommend etrailer.com as a reputable and quality provider.33728

Very pleased. Quality equipment, great service, excellent instructions. Will offer one suggestion. Instructions say driver side under pan can not be re-used. I simply cut approximately 1/4" by 6" slit to allow the vertical hitch plate to protrude through the pan. I then made a cut between the opening for the tow eye and the rear part of the pan, worked it around the hitch, and re-installed it. Made a nice, neat, finished looking job and protects the underside of my vehicle.. It was a very easy mod that requires a hacksaw or razor knife. You could include a paper template with the instructions. I've already recommended you to other people. 17495

I found this only slightly difficult to install, in that it does help to have help holding it in place. The muffler on the passenger helps to hold it in place. Make sure you line up all three holes on the drivers side first. It is a very close (quality) fit and may require some taps on the passenger side to get the holes lined up, but all hole alignment was perfect. I replaced the passenger side under body panel with out cutting, however the driver side will require trimming to replace. The took approx 90 minutes to complete, unpacking, gathering tools...etc. Instructions are excellent and the etrailer video helps as well.68603

I ordered this hitch for my wife's 2010 Highlander. The price was great and the shipping was free and quick. I had a problem with the installation and called for assistance. I was connected with a live person after about 30 seconds and she knew exactly how to resolve my issue. I was able to complete the installation and am very happy with the hitch and the overall experience. I highly recommend etrailer.com!30235

Curt Hitch arrived with one end hanging out of a ripped box - exposed end had powder coat scrapped off edges and end. Too bad - ends need pad wrap before boxing. Hitch is heavy and well made. Despite elongated holes, I had to bolt loosely the right side, and then used a come-along to pull left side out enough to put the bolts in. About 1/4" deflection of hitch was needed to get the bolts into the elongated mounting holes. Otherwise, bolted up well, fit well. If factory addresses what appeared to be distortion on the left side from the welding process, and someone padded the "sharp" ends before boxing, product would be excellent. etrailer installation video was a great help!17081

Hitch and wiring harness fit 2011 Highlander Hybrid just fine. I was able to trim the driver side cover to fit around the hitch and reinstalled it as well as the passenger side cover. 10625

The product is good quality. It took some effort to line up the holes, which may be the result of a how it was welded on one side. As a previous user claimed, the holes were about a 1/4 inch off. Otherwise it looks great attached. Only four stars because it wasn't packaged properly when shipped and paint was knocked off in areas. Not a big deal but parts were scraped pretty severely.79239

Tuffy Tire installed our new hitch today! I was very pleasantly satisfied to find a mechanic that would install the hitch. I was a little apprehensive when I saw the shipping box was damaged. But all the product was intact and undamaged. Attached the finished product! I am looking forward to hauling our bikes to the trails of Florida.75269

I ordered Curt Hitch # 13534 for my 2013 Toyota Highlander and received the hitch in less than a week. The written directions and online video had all the information I needed. The removal of parts from my Highlander was quick - except the tow hooks which broke two of my sockets. I had a friend help me with the install of the hitch - not really sure if I would have been able to install it by myself. I cut and re-installed the under body panels according to the directions. I think I could have saved more of the under body panel material if I trimmed a little a time. The full install time was less than 1 hour. Overall, I am very happy with my hitch and my etrailer.com experience.62534

Installing the trailer hitch would have been easy if all the mount bolts had lined to their perspective holes. After fighting it for about 2 hours I called etrailer and was told that I needed to spread the hitch on a vise or by other means. With no vise big enough to hold the hitch I had to improvise with a hydralic jack and wood. I was able to install it in about 1/2 hour. Evidently not enough info in the instructions or video to solve possible problems. Also I had to cut the left splash panel to to reinstall it. 61856

This one took a while compared to other reviewers who said it was quick. Some thoughts: - This is heavy. Another person or jack stands are required. - I attached the passengers side first, which I now read might be a mistake. The first driver-side bolt lined up no problem, but I had to pry like crazy using the spare tire as leverage to get the other 2 driver side bolts lined up. - Getting the bolts on the factory tow hooks off was a bear as well, but not unmanageable. A 3/8" socket set can barely pull this feat off. - Cutting the passenger side shield is not required at all. The driver side shield needed a long slit toward the front of the truck and I cut the back edge to hook it around the hitch. Overall: This is a good price and a good hitch. It took me a lot longer than other reviewers on this site, since I had no help and broke up the work around dinner, putting kids to bed, etc.61646

Timely communication immediately following my order and after delivery of the hitch.

Fit on 2012 Highlander was exact and even without assistance, installation was relatively easy. Great price, great service. Satisfied customer.58141

I received the hitch for my highlander in good condition and was able to easily install it myself. The installation video on utube was a help. I was initially concerned about positioning the hitch without any help but by blocking one end and using a jack on the other I was able to slowly raise the hitch in place without any strain. 57776

I've worked on my cars and boats for a long time, but found that the installation wasn't quite as easy as many of the reviewers said. The hitch didn't quite fit my 2012 Highlander by about 5/8". I had to support the hitch with a jack stand and screw in the bolts on the passengers side, then have a helper hold the hitch up and start the bolts on the drivers side while I pryed it with a 1 X4, which nearly broke with the pressure I was applying against the spare tire. Got it done though. 55045

I ordered my trailer hitch on a Saturday and paid 7 extra bucks to make sure it was delivered within 3-5 days. Two days later it was on my doorstep..amazing! The video for installing the hitch was very informative. I wouldn't have even have attempted to do it with out the video. I was able to get the hitch hooked up and on my Highlander with out too much trouble and I am not a very "mechanical" type of guy. This is my second purchase with eTrailer and both times I have recieved prompt and superior customer service. I'll use them for anything I need for either of my vehicles from now on. 53171

This was my 2nd reciever hitch from etrailer. I installed one on my truck a few years ago with no problems. This install went just as well. I also had to tweek it some to get the slots to align. A great tool for this is a Pipe clamp. I used a 36" pipe clamp and could easly tweek the plate into alignment with one hand while installing the bolt with the other. 52611

The online video was great (and without it, I never would have known how relatively easy it was to install). I'd give the product 5 stars instead of 4 if it was somehow mentioned that the trailer hitches tend to compress a bit in shipping (first time I tried to install it the bolt holes would not line up). Had to flex it &/or compress it (and try to install after each bend) to get the holes to line up. 4th time was the charm. Otherwise a great product. Thule Bike rack which I also purchased was very easy to install and works well.51157

The product is excellent quality. Very solid. The installation onto my 2010 Highlander would have been easier with 2 people, but my friend put it on it by himself, without having to jack up the car. It took him around 1 hour, but he got the job done using a small jack to hold up one end. He was very satisfied with how the hitch is installed.50647

This hitch was so incredibly easy to install. My neighbor who's a total car nut gave me a hand lifting it into place. From the time I took the factory tow hooks and plastic panels off from behind the wheels, to the final torque tightening of the hitch bolts was probably a total of 20 minutes.... and Im far from a car mechanic. My neighbor couldnt believe how quickly it went in. Honestly I didnt even have to drop the muffler even though the instructions said to. It might have taken me another 10 - 15 minutes to trim and re-install the plastic panels back into place. This installation was super easy and the hitch is super strong... I'm very very impressed !!! Not to mention that I got it three days after I ordered it !!50549

Installed hitch and wiring today for 2012 Highlander. Everything was perfect and very easy to install on my own, using just a floor jack and a 2x4 (a base to lift the hitch into place). I spent more time refitting the splash guards than with the hitch & wiring combined. I did not have to modify the passenger side splashguard at all (it's tight, but it fits). The instructions for the driver side splash guard is incorrect. All it needs is one corner removed (as shown on the instructions for that side) and a narrow slot cut to clear the vertical plate (part of the hitch). Wiring was very easy as well. I followed others' advice and installed the front wiring assy behind the plastic foot guard panel (left side of driver's left foot). For the rear wiring harness, I used the round rubber boot seal as noted by others (cutting an X just large enough to fit the smaller end of the rear harness. This allows the connector wiring to be routed under the car adjacent to the hitch receiver (much better than letting it hang out the door). Need to seal the rubber boot with silicon to prevent moisture entering the interior. My only complaint is there is no way to attach the rear connector wiring next to the receiver except with a zip tie. There really needs to be a more permanent / fixed attachment adjacent to the receiver for a professional appearance and long term use. Otherwise, I am very satisfied and happy to have saved quite a bit of cash.50355

Fit was perfect, very easy to install. Looks great on vehicle. The entire end was hanging out of the box when it was delivered but fortunately it wasn't scuffed up. There was a chunk of the finish scraped off of one of the tubes inside so I sprayed some gloss black roll bar paint on it so it doesn't rust and it looks fine. Very nice alternative to factory, and way less expensive! 49482

The most taxing thing about installing this hitch was working in the morning sun. If I’d have backed the Highlander into the shade of the garage and swept the floor first, it would have been more comfortable. I didn’t even have to jack up the wife’s Toyota! Just to make sure the welded-in nuts on the Toyota were clear of obstructions, I ran one of the bolts fully into each hole before putting the hitch in place. That helped me understand how to access the nut on the right side that was partially blocked by brake lines. The video said I’d need someone to hold up one end while I bolted up the other, but I just used a couple of jack stands to hold the hitch about two inches below the installed height. Every bolt hole lined up perfectly, and I was done more quickly than I anticipated. I’ve only used the hitch twice so far, and both times for a light load – my new side-by-side ATV on a small, open trailer. Hardly a challenge, but performance was perfect. I also purchased a wiring package, which was equally easy to install. I elected to put the control unit on the firewall rather than on the left side of the driver’s area, just because there appeared to be a larger unobstructed area, where the double-sided tape would easily stick. I hesitated for a minute or so because the instructions for locating the plug in the left rear of the vehicle were somewhat ambiguous, and I needed to remove more bits from the floor than the photos and diagrams seemed to indicate. Still, every connection worked effortlessly, and where it counted (i.e., where the fuse should be installed) the instructions were clear. 49216

Product and install ease are great. The packaging quality needs some internal QC in your shipping dept though, the box was all shredded and barely contained the contents likely due to the heavy object shifting freely around in the box while being handled numerous times during transit transfers.48363

Could not have been easier to put on. I had someone help me, and with the two of us, it couldn't have taken more than 20 minutes to get the hitch on my 2012 Highlander. I had none of the splash panels to remove or trim, which certainly simplified things, but this was really ridiculously easy.42699

Nice, heavy-duty hitch. A bit awkard to install solo, but doable. Definitely put the passager side on first. One complaint: the driver side underguard can be re-installed, but the cut/trim diagram sent with the instructions is wrong. If I had the chance to do over, I'd measure the cut myself and not use this "template." 42623

The hitch arrived in 3 days, the ordering and shipping process was great. The installation video was very helpful. However, when mounting, the brackets did not align with the frame and the installation holes. I called etrailer and they told me how to adjust. I had to use ratchet straps to pull it in about a inch. The 50 minute installation took 4 hours.38667

thanks to some of the other posts, I was able to get this hitch on rather quickly and trouble free. Definitely need an extension for the wrench, hardest part was taking off the factory bolts on the bottom of the Highlander, they were on there pretty tight, had to attach a pipe to end of wrench to get better leverage. Other than that, I think you need another person to help lift the hitch to start threading the bolts on. They all lined up perfectly (didn't need a pry bar or block that was used in the video) And was able to keep the under pan protection on the driver's side by hack sawing a little bit (thanks for the info on previous posts). Hope this helps.37457

2012 Highlander - perfect fit, no problems with bolt hole alignment or needing to clean the threads. The instructions were good. Cutting of the plastic panels was not totally correct, as less was needed to be removed and the cuts a little off for the 2012. All done and back in about an hour. One recommendation is to put added reinforcement cardboard on the two ends of the hitch mount (in the box). This was done for the hitch receiver, but the two mounting ends are the stress points that ended up coming through the box in the UPS delivery. The box handles are on the top - or receiver side, so all the weight is down on the two mounting brackets. 37311

Installed product on a 2012 Toyota HighLander without any major issues, had to use a 2x4 and pry against the spare to get holes to line up on drivers side (off just a little). Probably took longer to modify drivers side splash guard than anything else. Would like to note that for the wiring kit I had to clip off an unnecessary appendage on the plug to the rear lights to get it to feed through the hole in the rear storage box. Instructions were good when combined with online instructions.36482

I selected this hitch since I want to carry 4 bicycles or tow a motorcycle in my SUV. As many other users, I received the trailer hitch box broken in one side but the hitch was not damaged and paint was OK. The installation was quite simple in spite of the weight of the unit. The holes fitted almost perfectly with only a little bending necessary. I was able to trim the driver's side plastic panel in order to reinstall it again without much trouble. Excellent quality! I fully recommend it!28960

Ordered the hitch and was delivered within a couple days. Box was a little tore up but the hitch was in tact and good shape. Installation went well except for the front hole on the driver side needed to be filed about a 1/8" to the left of the slot. Only discovered after all the other bolts installed it was a no problem fix. Very pleased with the unit itself, and it looks good on my vehicle.27144

Hitch arrived in 3 days, no scratches on it--After the use of a hydraulic power pack to streatch the sides about 1" the unit fit like a glove. Was pleased with the finished look. Panels fit back with a small amount of trimming. Great product and great service, the video was a great help. Will definately buy additional stuff.25003

The product is great easy to install with no mechanic skill required, if you can remove a bolt you can install this easy. The only tools can really help is an extension on socket wrench. Everything is included even the 7pcs 10mm bolt. Good price for a sharp and functionable trailer hitch, welds are execelent and heavy, ready to tow heavy loads. 23991

Like many, my hitch had busted through one end of the box when I received it. Fortunately, it was not bent. Perhaps an extra layer or two of corrugated should be added to the bolt-on areas of the hitches for shipping? Install was easy. I did it in 50 minutes. Curt's instructions are very clear and etrailer.com's videos really helped. The hitch fit great and looks good. Etrailer.com's service was excellent. Very helpful on phone prior to order. Arrived fast.21874

Product was as described on website. Had to "spring" the hitch assembly open just a tad to fit bolt hole. If not for that, one person assembly a cinch. Product arrived on time which is another plus.20934

Good product. Video is big help, even though it isn't quite that easy! The positioning with a 2x4 is an essential process I suspect for each installation. No way the tail pipe drops down as easily as shown with out right tool, experience or a better explanation. Good news is that it is easy enough to just work around it.20549

The trailer hitch arrived quickly - the box was a little beat up, but the hitch was in perfect condition. Installation was relatively easy thanks to the video that etrailer provides. I have never done anything like this before and was able to install the hitch myself - though the holes didn't line up nicely so it took some effort. I will definitely recommend this product and etrailer.com to my friends.18377

This was very easy to install, especially given the video instructions on the etrailer.com site. The product was processed and shipped within a couple of hours of submitting the order online. Prices are more reasonable than competitors and I felt that the company valued their customers. I would encourage people to do business with etrailer.com.18019

I am very impressed with both the products that I ordered, as well as the excellent customer service and very fast shipping. I ordered late on a Sunday evening and the hitch assembly and wire harness arrived less than 72 hours later on Wednesday afternoon. I watched the installation videos on etrailer for both the light harness and hitch assembly for my 2009 Toyota Highlander and found them to be concise and accurate. The Curt hitch assembly was a rather tight fit - I had to wrestle with it for a few minutes to get the bolts to line up with holes in vehicle's frame, but beyond that installation was a snap! Within an 70 - 80 minutes both items were installed and worked perfectly! Thank you!17715

I bought the hitch and wiring for my 2008 Highlander Hybrid. The wiring was a little bit difficult because of the design of the vehicle -not the parts from etrailer. The connections were easy to find and the wiring worked perfectly. The only caveat is that the Highlander uses low profile mini-fuses and the ones that came with the kit were standard size (You have to insert a 10A fuse in the Highlander fuse box -it apparently isn't included by Toyota even if you have the tow package). It cost me $5.00 to get a packet of fuses so it was no big deal. The hitch went in flawlessly with what I would consider minimal effort. I was impressed by the quality of the hitch. Great product, great value.17639

The package arrived and the box was ripped. Some heavier packaging may be needed (reinforce the corners). The shipments was complete though and eveything was in good shape. The hitch went on with no trouble at all and fit perfectly. The installation videos were great. Everything fit together just as the videos showed. I installed the hitch in about an hour and the wiring kit in about 20 minutes. I am very pleased with my purchase.17458

Shipment was very fast and the video instruction is a HUGE help. The only thing is that you MUST start securing the bolts from the driver's side (maybe a no brainer for an expert but not for a newbie like me). It fits perfect. Also two jack stands help a lot holding the hitch while you are under the car. I called around the local shops and they are charging $120 (or more!) for installation. My 90 min. was not only worthwhile but enjoyable. 16789

I only use this to carry my bikes, but it works like a champ. The install video was much appreciated, and well done. I installed this by myself, and it wasn't too hard. A little tricky to get it lined up to get the first bolt in, but once I had one bolt in I moved to the other side and bolted up. All in all, took me about 1 hour by myself. 2 sets of hands would've cut that in half.16175

Hitch arrived hanging out of the shipping box and scraped on one edge. Looks like the hitch fit perfectly in the box diagonally. But from handling of carrier and weight of the hitch, it tore through the box. Installation video was helpful and as straightforward shown. Only issue was screw hole alignment was about 1/4 inch off. Used a clamp to get holes aligned. Primary use is for bike rack and weather has not cooperated.12173

The Class III hitch for my 2008 Highlander fit perfectly and was a breeze to install (although it did help having an impact wrench). The instructions were clear and easy to follow. Although the instructions say to discard the drivers side cover panel, with a few cutouts it is possible to reinstall it.12132

You guys are AWESOME! This transaction was soo smooth! I ordered a hitch and the hardness for my Toyota Highlander. The items shipped the very next day and I got my order 3 days later. I got e-mails updates all the way thru the process, from the moment they received the order until it got delivered. Your videos and installation instructions made installation a breeze. I already recommended you guys to several of my friends. You really understand the meaning of customer service. Thanks again!6285

Curt Hitch for 2011 Toyota Highlander What can I say? It fits a 2011 Toyota Highlander just fine. Instructions say to throw away the driver's side rear plastic mud shield as hitch bracket is in the way. But 5 minutes worth of work with a Dremel tool, and I could reinstall it also. This hitch is about a third of what the Dealer wanted! Also, don't forget the wiring harness.4296

Had to make it fit. I'm glad there were videos on this site to know how to install because the enclosed instructions were very poor. The hitch wouldn't fit. I had to bolt on one side and use 2x4 to bend the hitch and beat it with a baby sledge hammer. I got it to fit but it took me almost 4 hours. etrailer.com was good but the manufacturer did a mediocre job.2730
