Great fit and all parts and product arrived on time and excellent condition. Instructional video was very helpful. Perfect fit for Corsstrek Wilderness
High quality hitch and fits perfectly. Installation video was clear and easy to follow.
This was the 2nd Curt hitch I have installed. Thinking back 12 months, I don't recall any major issues. Installation went pretty much without a hitch (pardon the pun!) At 76 years old, I had a bit of trouble with the weight of the hitch and getting the first bolt attached. If you can support the rear end of your vehicle high enough for two people to slide under, that would be a good idea.
I've used Curt trailer hitch receivers from etrailer on four autos I have owned. The latest installation is on a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek. The installation could not have been easier. I took my time and it took a little over an hour to install. We use the hitch on a regular basis and it's like it come from the factory. No problems, no issues. I'm very pleased with the product and will continue to use etrailer whenever I'm in need of a receiver hitch. Good job guys!
You guys did a great job package the hitch, arrived in perfect condition.
I bought a Curt 12184. It fits perfectly on a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Sport. All 4 bolt holes has to enlarged. I put 2 coats of Rustoelium paint on the exposed metal. Before installation.
Installation is fairly easy but took a couple of hours for the whole procedure
Here is a few pix of the final install.
Feel free to use them.

Been using the hitch for a year now. No problems and no rust! It’s a keeper
The Curt trailer hitch arrived yesterday and since I installed a similar one 12 years on my new CRV I wanted to have a bonding experience with my brand new Subaru. I watched Etrailer videos and read their very clear directions and I now have my hitch ready to use. At age 76 this will be be my last such experience. Thank you so much Etrailer.
This hitch was easy to install. Only needed one special tool, a step drill bit. (I got lucky and a friend loaned me his!) The helper parts included to maneuver the bolts into the frame worked great. Only took me about an hour to complete.

After a year, I’m still using about once a week to carry my bike on a Kuat rack I install on the hitch. It still looks great! Finish has not rusted and it looks great! Couldn’t be happier!

Works great for my bike rack and it was easy to install.
Really happy with this product!! I had a Curt Class 2 hitch on my last car for my bike rack, so needed to purchase another hitch as I recently bought a new car. It's sturdy, well made, and I really like that most of the hitch is hidden from view behind the bumper.
The install was straightforward, and I found the installation video posted with the Curt Class 3 hitch on etrailer's website very helpful!! Although the printed instructions that come with the hitch say to use a die grinder (which I don't have) to do the hole enlargement , the video mentions using a "rotary tool" (aka Dremel tool - which I do have, yay!). For a rotary tool to be effective though, the correct bit needs to be used. I purchased a Dremel tungsten carbide cutter bit (#9901) from my local hardware store and it did the trick! It's also very important to wear eye protection and gloves when doing this step as metal filings will be generated from the grinding. Once the holes are enlarged, and you've got the bolts in place, get someone to help lift the hitch in position and fasten the nuts and you're all set! :)
Good product and installation was straightforward even working alone. I made some simple supports underneath the hitch on the center and the driver’s side, started alignment and attachment on the passenger side, and found the video installation instructions to be spot-on.
It does exactly what I need it to do. Installation was fairly easy. Very durable. Made in the USA.
Straight forward installation - thanks to the video and functions perfectly.
This is the third hitch I purchased from etrailer. It, like the others was delivered quickly and in good condition. I put the hitch in myself and it took me less than an hour. I didn’t need to drop the exhaust although if you have a pair exhaust hanger pliers you may be able to shave 10 minutes off the install. Of the 4 holes in the frame 2 are larger so I ground them a little and left the smaller holes alone. With the spacers the hitch is 90% hidden except for a bit at the corners. This is a 1 ¼ inch hitch I use for a bike rack and is perfect.
Exactly what I was looking for. Fit my Subaru Crosstrek perfectly and installation was painless following the video. Arrived quick and was a perfect addition for my bike rack.
Hitch arrived well packed, with all hardware. Powder coating feels smooth and substantial. Install videos showed exactly what I needed to do. The tip to just cut a notch in the hole to fit the backing plate was brilliant. Fishing wires worked perfectly and everything bolted up without a ...hitch.
So easy to pick out and was delivered very quickly.
Solid hitch and it was an easy installa tion.
The delivery was timely, however the trailer hitch was unexpectedly covered with grease and consequently made the home garage installation more time consuming.
Great hitch for the money. Easy installation (according to my mechanic)!
Great fit, easy install.

Not used often, but it’s there when I need it and it’s working great!
This is the second trailer hitch that I've bought. Easy to install reliable on the road. Good stuff.
Good instructions, although it was not necessary to lower the exhaust. I used an extention with step-bit to enlarge the frame holes (1 hole per side) and C clamps to hold the hitch to a floor jack for raising the hitch into position and hold it there. About an hour install.

GREAT! I have only used it once though, and that was for extricating my Crosstrek from very deep snow. The tow-eyelets that come with the car would have been severely damaged or ripped off with the amount of force necessary to get the car out. The hitch didnt complain one bit. Very strong!
Fast shipping, well packaged. Installation very easy.
Incredibly fast shipping, great prices and very responsive team!
Very happy with this hitch receiver for my Subaru Crosstrek. I have no plans for pulling a trailer, it's for my bike rack, but it seems stout enough for any use I might put it to.
The installation was simple and straightforward and the instructions clear and easy to understand. I don't have a die-grinder but figured I'd be able to make do with a dremel tool. In the end I just used a small chain saw file to enlarge the access hole at one place in order to be able to get the head of bolt and back up plate through. It took five minutes of effort with the file to do it.
The only thing I'd add to the instructions is the idea of taping the spacers in place (either on the frame of the car or on the receiver) to hold them while you maneuver the hitch receiver into position. With one person it's difficult to get the receiver up in position and get the spacers placed and the bolts through the holes and then the nuts started on the bolts. The most worrisome part of the whole install was the fear I'd push the bolts back up into the frame while trying to get the nuts on them - particularly the first two because you only have one hand to do that as the other is holding the receiver up in position.
If you have someone to help position and hold the receiver up and get the nuts started on the bolts it might save you some frustration but I was able to do it all myself in less than an hour.
From order to installation the whole process was as good as one could hope
Thanks

No complaints! Works as it should. And it is unobtrusive when not in use - pretty invisible and not out where you might hit it with knee or shin when accessing the back of the car. It’s five stars.
