I recently purchased a new Ford Escape 2018. My previous Escape was a 2013 and, fortunately, I am able to use the same trailer hitch receiver. I needed a new hardware kit, and wiring harness, so I went to several on-line retailers but had little luck finding the hardware kit. I called etrailer to actually talk to a live human being. Brian M., was very helpful in getting the correct hardware kit. He also recommended the best wiring harness. I purchased a magnetic holder for the 4-pole flat connector and a Powerbuilt Trim Pad Remover to remove the trim on the Escape. Brian's positive attitude and helpfulness is why I made the purchases I did. He kept in touch, via email, about the status of my order and shipment. The products are good quality and will be easy to install, I hope. A shop will be installing the hitch receiver. (They installed the receiver on my last Escape, but they say they are unable to order the hardware kit??) The wiring harness I purchased, I will install myself. Thank you, Brian, and etrailer, for your help!! 476356

I purchased this hardware to install a hitch that i already had. However, i did not know what brand of hitch, and as part of the order this is required. Within 30 minutes of placing the order, i was contacted by customer service to provide this information before they could fulfill the order. Well not knowing what brand of hitch i had, i went and looked at hitches that fit the make and model of vehicle and just provided that information. As for the install, i planned on at least a few hours because who knows what issues show up. Before i installed the hitch i did a quick test fit of the hitch to make sure the holes in the frame lined up, as we all making sure the bolts fit the holes. Luckily everything appeared to fit. The next step was using the little wire to fish hte hardware into the frame. I was a bit concerned that this would only work for 1 or 2 of the bolts. Luckily it worked for all six bolts, and made the job so easy, that i was done with the install in about 30 minutes, which left me 1.5 hours to mow the lawn. 262732

Over this past winter, I lost several bolts from my Curt front hitch. did not want to trust the local hardware places for the proper replacements. After looking at several online sources, I found etrailer.com. I was able to order just the specific hardware I needed that would support the hitch and the stresses from the plow I attach to it. Ordering was easy, reasonably priced, and delivery was fast. Can't ask for better. 181161

Great! Made it through another CT winter.

Four years ago I purchased a HIdden Hitch trailer hitch from etrailer.com for our 2005 Saturn VUE. It arrived promptly and etrailer's email communications were the best. The hitch installed quickly and easily following the instructions and it has worked flawlessly since. We were constantly driving back-and-forth between northern Michigan and central Ohio as we were building a house in Ohio. After four years of regular use I thought it prudent to replacement all of the hitch's attachment bolts, nuts & conical washers (the hitch itself remains in pristine condition). And so I ordered the replacement hardware kit from etrailer as well. Just as with my original order four years ago, etrailer was on top of the new order every step of the way. Etrailer.com is a spectacular resource for do-it-yourselfers like me. 59084

Just as described if not better. I ordered a used trailer hitch that claimed to include all hardware from a big online company, but didn't, and needed the proper hardware fast. Fast and original bolts/parts were perfect. Thanks 92646

My hitch has worked flawlessly after a year of frequent use. Thanks!

While the product is good, and what I needed to move my current Curt hitch from my old Outback to my 2018 Outback, the service was not at all up to par. Order placed on a Wednesday morning at 8am. I ordered with Ground (upgraded) shipping to have it in a few days. Order did not ship until the following TUESDAY after multiple calls to customer service. Each time I was told the order was "stuck" and that they had fixed it. Finally talked to a supervisor on MONDAY who said he had found the issue and that it would ship that day. Wrong, it shipped the next day. So basically 5 business days before a simple STOCK order shipped. Sorry, I won't be back. 425038

Got a free hitch from a friend, but it had no hardware. This got that all sorted out. Still hanging tight after a year with no issues. I took the rear bumper cover and bumper bar off to install the hitch instead of fishing the bolts. 287083

I've used this kit on two Ford Escapes, a 2014 and 2017. It's a perfect fit. Attaching wires, that screw on to the end of the bolts, is just ingenious. I read the directions on how to feed the bolts thru the inside of the frame by first feeding the wire into the frame rail and come out the bolt holes and said, "No way.". I was wrong. It was surprisingly easy to feed the wire up thru the frame rail and out the bolt hole. Then just pulling wire out thru the hole and the bolt comes right thru. It's very important to follow the directions regarding putting a kink in the wire to keep the spacer independent of the bolt. 454341

Installation kit worked great. Still it was a difficult 1st time install. I broke one of the factory original bumper bolts off in the car frame. That had to be drilled out and retapped. There was a plastic flap hidden up inside the frame that had to be dealt with to get the install kit pieces into the frame. Several visits to youtube helped explain the piece of plastic. WATCH AND LISTEN TO THE VIDEOS CAREFULLY. But the hardware kit was great. Worked as advertised. Now know the tricks the whole process would be simple a 2nd time. 264290

Has worked fine. Ive used the hitch a couple times now. Very secure.

This hardware kit worked exactly as expected. I bought a used hitch w/o hardware. This kit has all the specialty hardware you will need. Don't even try to go to the hardware store and find what you need. I spent 30 minutes there trying to get something close to what I needed and it was going to cost $50 there and the installation would have been substandard. The cost of this kit (about $45) may seem high at first , but it is well worth getting the custom pieces that you need. Customer service was outstanding also! 160152

Amanda was extremely helpful in helping me find the correct hardware kit for a used hitch I just purchased. Since there were no decals attached to the hitch, she even offered to help me track down the manufacturer based on the serial number I provided. This was my first purchase from etrailer so if Amanda's outstanding above and beyond service is any indication on how this company takes care of their customers then I'll be back for all my towing/trailer needs. Of course I'll always ask for her! 6059

i had to install a used trailerl hitch onto my Subaru Outback and needed the hardware to get it mounted. After contacting etrailer they advised which kit would work for my application and I received it within a few days. Install was relatively easy with the exception of balancing the hitch up to the mounting holes and the rear rubber exhaust hanger. Took some muscle and creativity to get back in but the whole process was probably less than 2 hours working alone. 530146

The wrong parts were sent after a long conversation about what was needed. I had to walk their phone associate through the steps to put together the package. Instead they sent me the original equipment bolt set which would not work since the welded nuts up in the frame had broken loose. After several phone calls they sent me an email with a return label but they are charging return shipping when they sent the wrong parts. 438823

by: Zane T.06/15/2015

The kit worked. They shipped quickly and customer service was very good.The bolts that mount the hitch to the bumper mounts were the wrong size for my Taurus wagon, so I had to use the original bolts. I only used the 2 large bolts, the 2 flat spacers (plates?), 2 large washers and the 2 special nuts. The rest either didn't fit or weren't needed. Over $50 with shipping! Very pricey but it got me on the road. 203473

After the hitch was put on my car we drove it for a couple of weeks before attaching the chair lift. When we tried to put the chair on the hitch would drop it down to almost street level. After we checked found out that one of the nuts was gone and because it was a very specific part I ordered the kit to replace it. This solved the problem and the hitch has been very tight ever since then. Thank you. 240031

I tried several places to find this because I didn't want to wait for the parts. No one carried the correct installation kit. I ordered from etrailer and had to wait a couple days for the parts, which meant waiting for the following weekend to install. The kit was perfect and had exactly what was needed to make the installation relatively painless. Instructions were a bit brief, but easy to follow. 411821

I ordered a Curt hitch from another retailer and after UPS delivered a destroyed box, I found my hardware kit missing from the package. After many attempts to replace my hardware from the other retailer or finally to put together my own kit, I discovered etrailer.com had a kit for sale. Decently priced, no hassle, and two days later, I had everything I needed in hand to install my hitch! 304185

Still happy with my installation kit and holding up perfectly!

I got the RHK hardware kit for the hitch that was given to me (by someone who used to have the same car as me). The kit included more than was needed (probably works for several kits), but everything I needed was there, and the hitch bolted right up--no problem. Thanks for checking back with me to make sure you were sending the right package before you sent it. 30998

I purchased a hardware/bolt package to install a used hitch and the light connector kit. both items arrived in a timely manner and I installed the hitch assembly and light connector as per the videos for my vehicle in about 2 1/2 hours. I am a 1st time customer and be assured when I need trailer parts, etc. I will come back to etrailer.com. 312035

I have purchase items from etrailer for years and have always been generally satisfied. I had to order a replacement hardware kit for a trailer hitch and was sticker shocked which I normally don't get. I understand they are in business to make money and have overhead but it's been quite a while since I felt price gouged. Shame on etrailer. 203524

Satisfied with the three items ordered. Received first order last Friday and it was wrong. Emailed back and said that I ordered installation kit for receiver hitch CURT 13314 and what was sent was a complete hitch. Asked what action I should take. Have not received response. Other than that, I am satisfied. 29400

Great customer service, I needed hardware for a factory hitch and they did not offer a kit so they contacted me and we found one that would work. Installation was much easier than I anticipated, the wire tool for the plates and bolts is a game changer. Would purchase from etrailer again in a heartbeat 398477

Thank You! I am not a "hands-on" kinda guy and certainly not mechanically minded at all. I needed to order a hardware kit for a bike rack that my friend got for me. I am so happy that I found etrailer.com. The web site was easy to use and they had exactly what I needed. Shipping was also fast. 5505

by: Tam03/20/2017

Looked everywhere to source this item. Found it advertised at a few sites but was unable to actually place an order. Then I found etrailer.com. They had what I was looking for and it was simple and fast to order. I've added them to my favorites! I highly recommend therm. 356458

Once again eTrailer comes through. This hardware is for a hitch that was purchased almost seven years ago and is no longer sold. I called and talked to a rep who said he'd try to find the item and a couple of days later I had the parts. 31297

Hitch for 2011 Subaru Outback easily went over to the 2016 Outback. Hitch is rugged and well designed. Hauled 2 backs in a Yakima rack through NY and to lower NJ and back. Hitch held up fine. The conversion parts fit great. 370445
