etrailer Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches - 7,500 lbs
I recently installed a #76156 Draw-Tite Hitch on a 2016 Toyota Highlander. I used a multi-tool with a standard cutting blade to trim the splash guard and exhaust deflector. The vehicle had been Zei(xxxx) rustproofed, but, as I expected, uncoated areas were discovered when the splash guard and spare tire were removed. I treated the areas with a quality spray can undercoating before and after the hitch installation. I checked tyhe condition and pressure of the spare, and sanded some rust and sprayed a little black paint on the rim. I re-used the longer bolts for the tow hook to anchor the passenger side of the hitch, but did not cut the fascia. I sprayed all six holes and the bolts with lithium grease before installing the hitch. Here are the photos of the result. Hope this helps.
Solid build, but there is a lot of play, which causes rattling and the associated annoying sound when pulling a trailer or having any other hitch mount. You can buy one of the anti-rattle devices on this site or make a DIY fix. I used thin rubber from the trim scrap of the back cargo area protector and duct tape. You can layer the duct tape until you get a tight fit. Just be sure to overlap the insertion end of the tube and fold the tape inside so it doesn't catch upon insertion.

Draw-Tite Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 2-3/4" Rise, 4" Drop - 9" Long - 7.5K
To be honest, I use it upside down. I needed a hitch with rise, but none were available at time of purchase, and yours, inverted, works perfectly! The welds are regularly checked and remain all secure. It's a good hitch.
Working in the sand and grass of my driveway my wife and I installed our new etrailer receiver hitch. Great fit and finish! Went right on as described in the online guide. Hitch required a spacer washer on top back bolt attachment point. Taped it on so it would not move while lifting in place and it stayed right there! Used a car jack to raise up and hold the hitch into the underside of the trunk tighten the bolts and reattached the tail pipe done. Now we can pull our Sunfish Sailboat any where the car will go.

Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 4" Rise, 6" Drop - 9-1/4" Long - 7,500 lbs
I purchased Curt's 6" drop ball mount for my 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sport which is not lifted but has 32" tall tires. The utility trailer I plan to purchase recommends a 12" tongue/ball height for level towing. The Curt 6" drop ball mount places my tongue/ball height at 13.5" which is acceptable. The bottom of my tow ball mounting nut is now 12" above the road surface. Plenty of clearance for safe towing. I'm very pleased with the quality and functionality of my Curt ball mount. I'm looking forward to purchasing a utility trailer soon. I think it will tow very nicely using my Curt 6" drop ball hitch.
First class service from E Trailer, first class product from Curt, as always ! !

Draw-Tite Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 3" Rise, 4" Drop - 9-1/4" Long - 16K
Nice finish, hopefully will hold up over time. Unfortunately it is rather loose inside the 2" hitch hole, I don't understand how hard it is to get a tighter tolerance. We used some electrical tape as others suggested, but I would expect more from this brand.
Perfectly as described, Box was a heavy hitch and the box must have been damaged in shipping so it was a little delayed. You can't mess up a forged hitch it still is in excellent condition.
