This Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver gives you the capability to tow and carry more without needing a big truck. With a 5,000 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and 500 lbs maximum tongue weight, it’s ready for small trailers, bike racks, or cargo carriers. When used with weight distribution, the capacities rise to 6,000 lbs GTW and 600 lbs TW, so it can handle heavier loads with better stability. The 2" x 2" receiver is the standard size for most towing accessories, making it easy to hook up your existing gear.
You don’t need fancy tools or a lift for this one. The hitch bolts right to the frame using existing mounting points—no drilling or welding needed. The complete hardware kit and instructions come in the box so you can get it mounted with basic tools. The precision robotic welding ensures a perfect fit so everything lines up cleanly and installation goes smoothly.
The fully welded, square-tube steel design is built to take on years of towing without flinching. A gloss black powder coat finish sits over a protective base coat that helps block corrosion from road grime and weather. It stays looking clean under your bumper while keeping that solid, heavy-duty feel every time you use it.
This hitch is made for more than just occasional towing. Its sturdy build handles cargo carriers, bike racks, small campers, and utility trailers with confidence. Whether you’re hauling gear for work or getting ready for a weekend trip, the strong construction and precision fit mean you can attach your accessories and hit the road knowing your setup is secure.

Arrived in timely fashion; fit the vehicle as advertised. Pulled a stout trailer already and had no problems. Thanks for the additional backup e-mails, very professional.
The hitch works and looks great. There was a slight problem with lining up the rear holes as the mounting brackets were warped in a bit
etrailer.com was great on price and super fast shipping. The actual hitch has been a bit of a pain. The bolt holes/attachment points on the one I received were just to narrow. I am still working to get the front portions of the bracket to spread wide enough to line up with the frame holes. In talking to a few others it seems as though some of these lower end hitches have this problem.
I was very impressed with the level of communication and project management provided by etrailer's customer service department. I received updates when my order was placed, shipped, and delivered. The item I purchased was fairly bulky and I was also pleased that it was delivered right to my door. Thanks etrailer!

The hitch is working out great. Happy to have provided the review.
Fast shipping, exactly as described, took me about 30 to 45 min to install. Looks great and was packed great.
The box must have came open during shipping. The hitch came with scratches due to the box being open.
Instructions are nice and basic.
On my lx470 it took a bit of adjusting and it was frustrating due to laying on the ground . The hitch may have shrunk on the distal end for the frame. I held it up while I would attach one bolt the. I move to the other side. The bolt hole was likely 1/8” narrower than expected making the sliding process difficult to align everything.
Was ordering a different hitch when, I was told it was out of stock. They gave me a phone call and I was able to get this one. At first was a little hesitant due to the design of the hitch going over the muffler tip, but it was actually not bad looking it also looks very high quality. Installation was a breeze, you won't be able to re-use your stock hooks at the sides the hitch has tow hook holes on the sides. There are not two holes in the back to secure the hitch just one and then two at the rear total of three on each sides. Where as the stocks have two back and two fronts. You also have to bend your trailer harness back a little and then re-seat it in the upside down position. So far fits my 03 LX470 perfectly and highly recommend it. Thanks etrailer!
Thats amazing amount of customizing I had to do for such seemingly simple components. The holes do not align with the holes in frame. The harnesses pinout is incorrect for the car.

The easy way to move the mounting flanges outward would be to use the scissor jack used for changing the tires and a piece of lumber. Place the jack and the lumber in between the flanges and open the jack until the flanges are moved out enough for the bolt holes to line up. Ill link you to an FAQ article that addresses this in detail.
