Price was good.
Ordering was easy.
Customer service was excellent.
Received it on time.
It fits perfectly.
Easy to install...Im disabled and still it was easier than I thought it would be although not the 20min it says it will take. In fact I was going to have someone install it for me but thought Id better line things up to make sure it would fit and opps it was in place. FYI they should change the install instructions in that the wire used as a bolt-fish needs a feeder wire from the bolt hole, connect to bolt-fish and then pull through...thats much easier than playing around with that little wire trying to hit the hole.

Heres a funny thing...it was installed right away but Ive never had to use it yet its set up as a winch attachment and weve not had any weather or me getting caught in a bad spot. But it is sure nice to know its there if I need it.

by: Excellent quality 01/04/2017

Excellent quality, very strong welds and the paint job is perfect quality, there were 2 holes in the box from shipping which some bubble wrap can fix,

Very satisfied, higher quality then expected and the price was the lowest of all sites.

Thank you

in by the hole in the bottom of the frame,they did not fit through that side hole.I had to go back toward the passenger compartment about 5" to get the 1/2" bolt and plate in.On my 4 wheel drive truck I had to drop the skid plate to get the 3/4" bolts in.You should recommend a longer receiver for it,I had to take off the license plate bracket.My standard was too short.The hitch is the best thing for moving my boat and jet ski around.Triple A plus.

2006 Chevrolet Colorado

This was my 4th hitch from etrailer.com. I keep coming back because of the good service, price, and mostly the videos. Although this one doesn't have an installation video (maybe it will by the time you read this), I read the instructions and felt like it wouldn't be too bad and uderstood the basics from my previous experience with the 3 previous hitches.

It was easy to install, but I had to go out and buy a big 1 and 1/8" socket for the large bolts. You'll also need a deep 3/4" for the smaller ones. I can also confirm that this hitch fit great on a 2006 Isuzu i-280 (re-badged Colorado).

I'm always impressed with etrailer.com's fast shipping, and they've made me a repeat customer.

I normally don't write reviews but I felt compelled to write one about this "Custom trailer hitch receiver "
This piece is AWESOME! I figured I was going to have to drill some holes and "make" it work but no, this pc fit perfectly to the preexisting holes, and they also provided a fishwire to feed the bolt to the hole. It is as professional as they come with what looks to a powder coated finish and beautiful welds. A quality piece for sure, at what I thought was a great price. I would definitely recommend this company to my friends!

by: Annabel L. 01/07/2017

Very pleased with this hitch. All hardware is included and the instructions are easy to follow. The hitch is very sturdy and I am quite thrilled to install a product that has been made in the USA. I plan to use it with a winch system. The two recovery "loops" gives my truck a secure place to affix a tow hook if I need to pull something or be pulled.

by: Clancy 05/14/2009

Shipped quickly, fit perfect, good instructions, special tool to get inside frame with bolt worked great. One person install. Box it was shipped in needed better securing but no damage was done to hitch.

It's the one i need to mount to a 2006 GMC Canyon to attach my DKK plow to which is quite necessary where i live. I have The Adirondacks in my backyard, and The St Lawrence River/Seaway in my front yard, so to say!

It sound's like you are surrounded by ice and snow up in New York! I wish I had a plow last week in Missouri to dig my car out of the driveway. We are in the same boat with the crappy winter weather. Do you ever get a chance to get up to the Adirondacks when they weather is nicer?

2006 Chevrolet Colorado

The shipping box was destroyed and in 3 different areas of the hitch itself the paint was scratched/worn down to the metal.
The install instructions were not at all what was necessary for my truck. Another reviewer pointed out that he had the same issues but I had additional.
I had to remove the plastic splash guard as the hitch would not go up into the frame enough to line the holes up for the bolts. The round flat bolt would never fit in the holes indicated by the installation instructions unless you CUT the frame. Like I said, another reviewer had to go about 5" towards the cabin for a better hole, mine was more like a foot towards the cabin, underneath a flap of plastic. Once I figured that out, no problem fishing the wire and bolts through frame.
You'll need a 3/4" socket for the smaller nut/bolt combo and a 1 1/8" or 28mm socket for the larger. It would've been nice to know and read this ahead of time in the instructions, so I wouldn't have to go out mid-install to buy the appropriate socket.
Again, another reviewer with the same vehicle put that same information in his review (which I read after the fact because I was frustrated and wanted to see if others had issues).
Now that the hitch is in place, you think you're done, but the splash guard NO LONGER fits and will under no circumstance go back to where it needs to be for the factory bolt holes. So, for the people whom didn't remove their splash guards for the install, good luck when it comes time to change your oil or work on anything underneath there, as you will have to take the hitch BACK OFF before you can remove that splash guard.
So overall, the ordering experience and shipping was great. The followup email wanting a review after the item was delivered was.....ok, but everything after, not so much.
It's not their fault. They're a third party selling the product so it's the manufacturer's problem but I can't imagine I'm the only one in the history of this vehicle and this hitch that has had a problem.
Mentioned in other reviews as well, they could've boxed the hitch better.
Is the star review for the product itself or the overall experience? For me, it's the overall experience.

2009 Chevrolet Colorado

The front hitch installed easily on on my 2009 Chevy 4x4 V8 Colorado. I do recommend getting a telescopic magnetic pickup tool to hold the 3/4 nut so you don't have to remove the plastic splash pan under the truck. I can feel a difference in the steering wheel with the hitch on there though. Hope the extra weight doesn't wear anything out.

by: Shane 08/04/2016

Perfect fit. View the YouTube link for installation, it will help in getting the bolts in the frame.

Will The Detail K2 Elite Snowplow for 2" Hitches K2AVAL8219ELT Fit A 2007 Chevy Colorado 4x4?
Hi Terry! As long as you have something like the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 31221 on the front of your 2007 Chevy Colorado 4x4, you can definitely use the Detail K2 Elite Snowplow for 2" Hitches - 82" Wide x 19" Tall # K2AVAL8219ELT. If you don't have that front hitch yet, definitely grab the Curt as well. I think this set up would work very well for what you are needing. When the plow is not being used, you can also install something like the Curt Front...

Options for Mounting An Older Snowbear Snow Plow On A 2020 Ford F150
There are going to be snow plow options for your 2020 F150. Now I am not sure exactly what Snowbear plow you have, but all of the plows we have now for the 2020 F150 are going to be mounted to a front mount 2" hitch receiver like the Curt # 31221, which is custom fitted for your truck. So if your old plow is a front hitch mount, this hitch is all you will need. If your current plow uses custom frame mount brackets, I am afraid we do not have any custom brackets for your 2020 F150.

Front Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2007 Chevrolet Colorado
We have a custom fit front mount hitch for your 2007 Chevrolet Colorado 4x4 in part # 31221 by Curt Manufacturing. This will be the easiest front hitch to install on your truck and requires no drilling. According to Curt, the fascia trimming is only required on 2010 model year Colorado due to a slightly different front bumper fascia. You will not need to trim the fascia on your 2007 model. This is the only front hitch designed to fit your Colorado. The only other options would be to have...

Front Hitch and Plow Recommendation for 2005 Chevy Colorado
For your 2005 Chevy Colorado the front hitch you would want is the Curt part # 31221 which will allow you to use the front hitch part K2 # K2AVAL8219. I really like this hitch as it's very easy to use and does not require you to wire up a winch or mess with any electronics at all.

Front Mounted Trailer Hitch Receiver and Snow Plow Fitment For a 2012 Chevrolet Colorado 4WD EXT CAB
For your 2012 Chevrolet Colorado the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31221 is confirmed to fit. This receiver is rated for 500lbs of tongue weight and a 5,000lb trailer. If you are using with a winch it is a 9,000lb line pull capacity. Be sure to not exceed any weight capacities given by Chevrolet for your Colorado. If you are wanting to use this with a snow plow I recommend the Detail K2 Elite Snowplow for 2" Hitches # K2AVAL8219ELT as it uses an electric actuator rather than...

Mounting A Winch On A 2008 Izuzu I-290 Or Using Something To Keep Me From Getting Stuck
Let me start by saying that I may have a solution that will work for you. While I do recognize the 2008 Izuzu I-290 and the 2008 Chevy Colorado are the same truck, there are just enough differences between the two that the front hitch receiver that fits the 2008 Chevy Colorado does not fit your 2008 Izuzu I-290 truck. It appears that you may be using your truck for off-roading. If that is the case, you can use tire chains, if your vehicle has a tire size other than P225/75R15, P265/75R15,...

Will the Curt Hitch Work On a 2005 Chevy Colorado with Grille Guard
The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 31221 is an excellent option and a confirmed fit for a 2005 Chevrolet Colorado. It features no-drill installation and will allow you to carry bikes, haul extra cargo, mount a winch, or use a snowplow. That said, you will need to remove any bull bar or grille guard as they install in the same location of a front mount hitch. However, the trailer hitch is much more versatile than a grille guard so it's a fair swap.

Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2016 Honda Pilot
The most hidden trailer hitch we offer for the rear of your 2016 Honda Pilot would be the etrailer hitch part # e98840. The similar Curt hitch for this vehicle would stick out a tiny bit further. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well. There are no front hitches available for your vehicle at this time though.
