Most Popular - 1 Inch for 2016 Toyota Highlander

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.

Not crazy about the clip in the 5/8" connecting pin, does not seem to secure enough for me. I ordered a locking pin to make a better connection.

This is a great ball mount for my Draw-Tite 2 inch hitch. It has a 1 inch ball hole and 5/8 inch pin hole. Mine came with the hitch pin, but I use a locking one that I purchased separately so it would be much harder for a would-be-thief to take. When not in use, I take it off and store it my trunk area. As with the Draw-Tite hitches, this ball mount is very well made and suited to the task of towing. Another great product at a great price!

Good hitch

I seldom take the time to write a review but I felt compelled to share my excellent overall experience with etrailer.com. I ordered the C13200 trailer hitch receiver, 2" ball, 2" ball mount receiver, pin/clip, and C56217 wiring harness for my 2017 Toyota Highlander XLE. All arrived in no time and in excellent condition. The installation videos and PDF documents are outstanding. I installed the hitch receiver in roughly 45 minutes - includes time to convince brother in-law to come over to help hoist it into place. Wiring harness installation was a breeze, roughly 20 minutes (again, great instructional videos). I could not be happier with the finished product. Thanks etrailer.com for making this a trouble free installation. If you are considering adding a hitch, etc. go no further, you are at the right place...order away. Its very easy to install and you will save a trailer load of cash!!!

The only thing I will have to say that it may be a bit too low to pull my fishing boat. I may have to reverse the ball orentation.

Trailer hitch looks great, will work great this spring for trailer hauling projects.

My usage of your hitch is a bit unusual, I think. I pull a two ton roller with my Ram and I've used your cushioned hitch to smooth out the process. The roller Lunette just dropped over a 2" ball and then banged and jerked on the ball neck. Check out the photos for my adaptation.. I can flip it over and use the 2" ball! Have enclosed some photos. The cushion is holding up very well and it takes a beating!! Thanks

We have a Pink Tractor (google Mom's Pink Tractor) that we pull to events, mainly in Ks, Ok, Mo, and Ne. We have around 35 events a year we take the tractor to to promote breast cancer awareness. The other day my wife and I were leaving for an event, i had let a friend borrow the hitch to see how he liked it. In less then a mile from the house my wife started complaining about the trailer jerking. That is coming from a lady that really was upset when I paid that much for a hitch. She told me to stop and buy one. (a long and expensive trip, we had to stop at a casino so she could rest her neck) I could write a review with a lot of trailer talk, but, this story tells the story.

The biggest issue I have is that the video on the receiver said the rise can go up or down. I try to put the ball in the hole in the rise position and it does not seat all the way the way it does in the down position. Not sure if I can Seat by drawing down the nut or not .

Very happy with this ball mount - provides just the amount of drop we required for a level tow of our GeoPro travel trailer by our RAM2500. Plus, the extra length not only allows a tighter turning radius, but also allows us to lower the truck tailgate without having to detach the trailer. Huge improvement on all accounts for us compared to our prior setup. The product is well built and I'm confident will provide us years of good use.

I bought the 1 7/8 and 2 inch combo so that switching between the two is as easy as pulling a pin. However, I didn't realize that I had to install the ball. I had to find someone with a wrench and torque wrench big enough to do it. Otherwise, excellent quality as usual from E-Trailer.

Easy to install and they feel really sturdy. Definitely recommend buying them with the carrying case as it makes them super convenient and easy to stow away when not in use.

I hooked up the draw bar today for the first time to the trailer that I built and the hitch I installed. The draw bar uses a cotter pin that slides on the bolt rather than going through a hole to mount the bar to the hitch. I have never used a sliding on pin in anything - I've only used those that go through a small hole matching the pin. This includes my farm tractor and other tools. I hope it is secure because it does slide on easily. The bar itself appears nice and strong.

We used our car hitch and cargo carrier last summer in a Honda Accord to support a cargo carrier. It held up great on a 4,000 mile camping/hiking trip from Mid Missouri to Glacier National Park, MT. We were able to use the carrier/hitch to carry our large tents and baggage (approx 120#)directly behind our car trunk. Initially I was a little hesitant at the smaller 1-1/4" tube hitch, but it was very stable throughout the long trip. Sure was a lot less drag than putting all our gear on a roof cargo carrier.

A small shipping glitch , but they took care of it quickly

I had a great experience ordering from you. Your organization kept me completely up to date with the order & shipping process and delivered the exact products I ordered. Attached is a photo of the 16,000 lbs capacity hitch and 30,000 lbs 2 5/16 ball you sold me in use. The boat and trailer total about 12,000 pounds. Thanks again.

Fast shipping

I cannot use this ball mount because the shaft is too short that goes into hitch receiver on my one ton Dodge truck. It does not allow enough room between truck back bumper and ball to allow any trailer tongue to be put on ball.

Retail type stores only carry mainstream items so when I needed a special length ball mount for my 2011 Traverse I found the size and quality with Curt Products .

Recently bought a Kubota RTV x900. The receiver is located under the bed. With the extra long ball hitch drawbar I can easily get to the drawbar and use a clevis to hitch my 5ft. wide mower or attach a ball and use the trailer. The pictures will illustrate the length of the drawbar which makes access very easy. The product is heavy duty and well made. Ordered this product on Thursday morning and it was delivered the next day, Friday afternoon. Customer service was helpful, will use etrailer again. Thanks
