Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the replacement hardware kit for trailer hitches, part number RHK. This part number is the replacement installation hardware kit for Curt Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch and Reese trailer hitches. Now basically if you have a trailer hitch that has an old hardware or hardware is damaged or missing, this is the part you need to order to get everything needed to install the hitch to your vehicle.On this video we're going to describe how to order the correct installation kit for your specific trailer hitch on your vehicle. Now, every trailer hitch when it's shipped will come with the specific hardware that's required to install that hitch to your vehicle and also meet the maximum towing capacities of that hitch. Having the correct grade and strength of bolts is required for your hitch to meet those capacities. If you try to find this kit locally, like in your hardware store, it can be very difficult to get the correct bolts and size.
This part number will get you the whole correct kit you need for your application.Basically what you want to do is go to the part number on our website. Go to the part number RHK, and on that product page it'll come up. You'll see a box that'll say hitch item number. It's usually on the right hand side. Under that, a dropdown box for the hitch manufacturer.
Those are the two things you'll need to get the correct hardware kit. If you look at the hitch on your vehicle, try to find the part number on your hitch. It might be stamped somewhere on the hitch. On this one I happened to pull, it has a sticker on the end right here. It says 75938, so that's actually your part number.
Once you have that, then you just put that in the hitch item number box.Now, the next thing you need is the manufacturer. On this one, it's pretty simple. You'll see a sticker right here that'll say Draw-Tite. Click on that, the dropdown box will bring up your choices of either Curt, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch or Reese. This one, type in the Draw-Tite with this part number and we'll get you out the correct hardware kit you need.Now, if you found both of those items, you're able to complete the order.
You're ready to go. Now, if you have a problem finding either the part number or the manufacturer, the next step is to check our fit guide on our website. Put in your year, make and model of your vehicle and that'll show you what hitches are available, brand and part number for your vehicle. You can usually narrow it down that way. You could also take a picture of your hitch, try to match the design of it like the safety chain openings, what they look like. If you have a picture, you could match it up to the website and that'll get you the correct part numbers also.Now, if you're still not able to find all that information, you can always call one of our customer service reps and they will help you find the correct parts you need. I hope this video helps you find the correct hardware kit you need for your trailer hitch, but that should do it for the review on the replacement hardware kit for trailer hitches, part number RHK.

All parts arrived on time and installed easily. Bolts, washer, nuts spacers etc very well made & fitted perfectly fastening the hitch to our 1997 Jeep wrangler. My wife is very happy with how it all turned out and can now use the cargo rack as needed when shopping etc. Costumer service is excellent with all questions answered and all information given. I would not hesitate to do business with etrailer again. Great people.
Vince I - 03/17/2021Great product! I was actually planning to just look for the hardware myself locally but I remembered seeing the hardware kit from etrailer. I made sure that they have the model (similar) of my tow hitch and luckily they do carry the original brand. When I got the package I immediately tried to install and voila! everything fit perfectly just as they described on the website and in the included instructions. Now I have a tow hitch Thanks to ETRAILER!!!
Quality bolt kit for part no.13172 but unfortunately it did not include the flange nuts. Ended up going to a local hardware store and finding what I needed to complete the hitch assembly.
I was glad to see that etrailer stocked replacement installation hardware for the trailer hitch I had purchased many years ago. Over many years several of the bolts, washers, and backing plates had loosened up and fallen off. The parts were in stock, located, and shipped to me in a timely manner.
eTrailer.com shipped these practically overnight with cheap shipping, they arrived so fast! Very satisfied, can't wait to get my new-to-me trailer hitch installed on my Veloster.
Chris F - 02/17/2015Haven't put on yet, had recieved wrong kit at 1st but as soon as i notifed somebody, they got right on it & sent me out correct kit, asap& i recieved very quickly. Everybody was very professional & helpful in correcting the situation. Will put up finished installation pictures once hitch is put back on. (Needed new hitch kit cause my vechile/jeep was ran off the highway& totalled but hitch was still in tack so saved when i replaced vechile/jeep) i didn't have any problems with hitch or parts when on old jeep.
I had an excellent experience with Amy H at etrailer's customer service phone support . I had purchased a Draw Tite receiver hitch from Amazon. The company that sent me my new hitch didn't provide the hardware. Before sending my package back to Amazon. I decided to see if anyone sold the hardware. etrailer had in stock and Amazon paid for it. etrailer solved my problems and they were great to work with. Thank you.
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.
Very pleased with the product. It was exactly what we needed to move our trailer hitch from one car to another.
Judy L - 10/17/2020Though our original delivery of this hitch & mounting hardware had the incorrect hardware parts, etrailer quickly sent the correct mounting parts & the trailer hitch was quickly mounted & off we went on our planned holiday
This hardware kit was not the one I needed for the hitch and vehicle I have, all of the parts worked although I needed four of the wires to pull the bolts through the frame and there was only two. So I had to improvise a little but all did work out with out a lot of trouble.
We had a customer that wanted to transfer the hitch from a vehicle they were about to trade in to their new SUV. It seems they liked the hitch that much. To do the job we needed a replacement hardware kit. One call to etrailer and I was guided through the steps required to get the correct parts. The process worked out perfectly the first time. So etrailer has two happy customers!
Pat - 12/12/2019I ordered and installed the e-trailer hitch. Overall, the install was straight forward and simple. Unfortunately, I missed the part where I should have properly cleaned out my vehicle's weld nuts prior to installation. There is a lot of corrosion in the weld nuts that could only be removed with a wire bristle drill bit and cleaner - FYI. While I was installing, a bolt seized and then the entire weld nut snapped off when I tried to back it out. So I had to cut the broken bolt and fish the weld nut out of the frame. I then ordered the extra parts kits to get another spacer where the old weld nut used to be. Everything has been perfect ever since. I'd order this product again and recommend it to anyone. Thanks.
The kit made installation of my almost new trailer hitch possible. I would recommend using a step bit to enlarge the access holes because the included directions describe widening the hole to allow the metal bar. The hole needs to be enlarged for the 1-1/4" head of the carridge bolt.
Product was exactly as advertised. All parts fit like advertised which made for an easy install. customer service assisted in making sure I had the right part for right product. delivery was faster then advertised. Highly recommend etrailer.com and will order from them again
Jack b - 04/12/2020I 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!!
Brian - 02/16/2019Order came as described with all of the fasteners that were required to install the unit I had. Paid for priority mail and it was here quick.
Did the job very well, but way way too much money for a few fasteners and a few bits of steel and springs. Had no choice though if I wanted to re-use my trailer hitch when I got my new car. Probably should have just bought a whole new hitch for perhaps only twice the price of this kit and I'd have gotten this with the new hitch.
The quality was fine, but lets face it, it's a handful of nuts and bolts. The only critical part is the plate with the square hole in it. That ends up inside your car's frame and may not be retrievable. So, that is the only thing that you are buying that you couldn't otherwise get at Lowe's or Home Depot. For the privledge of buying the part, they charge $50 or more. It's ridiculously overpriced, but I needed to install my hitch in order to move, so I bought it. Otherwise, I would have just made the part myself.
Really appreciate the complete service of your company. I had an almost new hitch for a 2011 Outback but needed the hardware replacement kit. Service was prompt. Instructions complete. The online video was a good review as I have installed them before.There was one stripped bolt in the set I received, but since it was the last bolt to place, it did not hamper completing the installment. They promptly sent a replacement part, and notifyed me of a typo number error I made which would have been the wrong part. All communication was courteous and efficient.
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!
Ryan R - 10/09/2017Perfect fit! I needed to get replacement hardware for my hitch and they had the exact set I was looking for. The price was good and shipping was fast. Now I feel confident my hitch is secured properly and ready for all our travels with our trailer.
Original hitch shipped without hardware. etrailer was very quick to remedy the situation. Great customer service.
A year ago I reinstalled a front end trailer hitch. For various reasons I had removed the hitch. Unfortunately the bolts to hold it on were long gone. This kit was all that I needed to accomplish the reinstall. It had everything I needed and the reinstall went off without a "hitch" (pun intended).
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.
