This Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver gives you access to everyday towing and hauling without needing a full-size truck. With a 3,500-lb maximum gross trailer weight rating and 350-lb maximum tongue weight rating, it’s built for small campers, boats, utility trailers, or hitch-mounted accessories. The 2" x 2" receiver fits the most common bike racks, cargo carriers, and ball mounts, so your gear slides right in and locks down securely.
You don’t need a lift or specialized tools to get this hitch mounted. It bolts directly onto the vehicle’s frame using the included hardware kit—no drilling or welding needed. The precision, robotic welding makes sure everything lines up cleanly for an easy fit. Most folks can handle the install themselves with simple hand tools in a driveway or garage.
The fully welded steel construction gives this hitch serious toughness for everyday use. It’s protected by a gloss black powder coat finish layered over a base coat for superior corrosion resistance. That means it’ll stand up to road grime, rain, and salt without rusting out or losing its clean look. The round-tube design keeps things looking tidy under the rear bumper while still being heavy duty enough for years of towing and carrying gear.

Glad I turned to etrailer.com for my purchase. I found the site to have suitable choices and the tutorials were great. Shipping was fast and I was able to find a local shop to install the hitch for an affordable fee. Turned out to be a hassle free transaction. I recommend the product and etrailer.com to others.
I love buying stuff from Etrailer.com. The listed products are the exact fit for my vehicle. The on line instructions make it very easy to install. I installed the hitch and wiring harness in just under 2 hours. I will buy stuff from this site again
The hitch was a snap to install. No drilling, no jacking of the car. A ten minute job. I held the one end up with a small bottle jack and lifted the other side and installed the bolts. Went to the other side and attached the bolts, tightened and that was it. No joke! I also purchased the wiring kit. Easy!

Trailer hitch arrived on time. Package was in great shape, and well designed to protect contents.Had a friend help, and it only took about 15 minutes to install.Looks great, I would recommend etrailer to any of my friends. I will be using my hitch for a bike rack and a cargo carrier.
Great Service from etrailer.com and perfect hitch. I received the order in few days and was a bit concern about the installation. The installation instructions indicated 15 min total installation time and I prepared myself to spend about an hour for this task. I did not have a car lift and with a help of a nephew, we installed the hitch in total 10 min. It fitted perfectly. Now I can transport my two bicycles without taking them apart. The hitch from etrailer.com is strong, non intrusive, discrete and works as intended. I definately recommend it.
Have a 2011 hyundai tucson limited, hitch was easy to install, just 4 bolts. Fits great, really sturdy and solid. I had a second pair of hands during install but definitely not necessary. Didnt even have to jack up the car or move the exhaust pipe. Definitely recommend cleaning the mounting holes beforehand with a toothbrush or wire brush and some cleaner (i used wd-40, it works just the same) and screwing in the bolts halfway beforehand to test fit before you're balancing a heavy hitch receiver trying to get the threads to catch. No complaints so far, haven't used it to tow yet. 2
Easiest hitch I have ever installed! It fit just as it should and was no problem to install at all. No drilling and no issue with clearance of body or muffler. Great product.
We've had this for one year and it has been excellent. Installation was simple (aside from a problem that had nothing to do with the hitch). We use it exclusively for bike rack/cargo box/dirtbike carrier and have been very pleased.
I'm a bit creaky and I move slowly. I don't have a lift, and I didn't use jack stands. I had to make two trips back inside from the driveway (once for spray lube, once for a socket adapter), and I still finished installation in under 30 minutes.
At least 10 minutes of that was cleaning out the driver side weldnuts, which were a bit rustier than the passenger side. I highly recommend threading a bolt all the way through each hole before doing anything else.
The hitch hides well under the rear bumper, and look factory. I highly recommend it.
Alex and etrailer were great . Hitch came day sooner than expected. Didn't like prices shops wanted so decided to DIY install. So with one good arm and hand (and one not good- stroke impairment) used a windshield sun shield to get on cold garage floor. Got hitch up and rested on tailpipe And used hitch cardboard packing box with a small chair cushion to put hitch on to raise it up some. After figuring best position to use good arm, was able to push a bolt up on passenger side and started. Put second bolt also-feeling cocky now. Did same on drivers side-actually harder side for me. 2 bolts finally- all done. Son saw it and said "YOU did that?"
Birthday 87 in April .
The product arrived in a few days as advertised. The hitch looks well built, sturdy and well engineered. I put this hitch on a 2015 Kia Sportage. The only problem I had was with corroded threads in the existing welded nuts on the car. I could not get the bolts to take the thread even after soaking them with penetrating oil. The directions warned that this might be a problem so it was the 1st thing I checked. I drove to my local well stocked auto parts store (not one of the national chains) and bought a tap the same size as the nut threads, took it home and cleaned the threads. From the time I got home it literally took me 10 minutes to install the hitch. For the 2015 model I did not need to drop the exhaust. I just snaked the passenger side between the frame and the tail pipe, held up that side, ran a bolt in to hold it. There are no obstructions on the drivers side. It lifted straight up and into place. Using the slotted holes in the hitch, I adjusted it so it wasn't touching the frame anywhere and tightened the bolts. Done. Easiest hitch I've ever installed. The hitch does touch and deform the plastic rear bumper slightly, but doesn't cause any problem. Can't see it or hear it. So yeah. I'll get my next hitch from etrailer as well.
Hitch and wiring system. Very pleased with both products. The corner of the hitch receiver was bent when I received it, luckily the person installing it was able to make the adjustment. The hitch itself was too low, but that was my ordering error. The wiring harness was easy to install. Great company to deal with. I was able to call and speak to a customer service representative because I had questions originally. And what company follows up after a year, unheard of. I would recommend dealing with e-trailer. Very positive
It was easy to install and has been super solid. It’s pulled my camper all over the west. And I think it makes our Tucson look more serious and capable.
Thank you Carol! I appreciate the amazing communication and your pleasant demeanor. You're so thoughtful and kind. Thanks for keeping me posted about my order and following up with me after I received it. The hitch fit perfectly! Best wishes to you all.
Thank you so much!

700 miles towing a trailer without any problems!
All necessary parts shipped.
Had trouble cleaning out nuts welded in frame. Two bolts went in after about
an hour of trying. Still waiting for the penetrating oil to free the rust and debri in the other two. This is NOT etrailer's fault. The installation would have gone very similar to the video if it were not for the frame-nut problem.
etrailer's customer service was very helpful.
Thanks

So far, so good. I use it mainly for a bike rack, but it has been used to haul a small trailer. I am pleased and would consider buying another one when I buy a new vehicle. Thanks
Very nice hitch. Took me about 20 min after unboxing and gathering the required tools to get it installed.
I bought this primarily to secure a bike rack to my Kia Sportage and it works perfectly for this purpose.

Still working great for hauling my mountain bike around!
The trailer hitch and bike rack were exactly as described.It fit perfectly and was just what I needed.The instructions for the hitch said that the installation time was 15 minutes and I expected the worst and figured it would take over an hour. I spent more time unwrapping the the paper than the actual installation.20 minutes later it was clean up time.
Thank you for the great product!

A year later it’s good as new
Received my order so fast! It fits like a glove, installed and ready to mount my bike rack about 15 minutes after the UPS man left.. wish everything installed so easy - absolutely no swearing involved.
FIVE STARS!!
I looked everywhere for wire brushes to clean the hole underneath my Tucson. I could only find plastic. I spent hours cleaning 10 years of dirt out of the holes until I could get a bolt into the holes. I had to use a floor Jack to hold up the hitch so I could get the bolts started. It took me a few hours to finish the job.
It was an easy install. The direction is concise for my vehicle. The wiring took me 3hrs to get hooked up. what I like about it I did not have to cut into my car wiring harness, made the job easy and clean. once the electrical connection was done the hitch only took 30 minutes to mount. You do not need special tools to install the hitch. I was shopping around and etrailer was the only one to have the trailer wiring harness for my vehicle. very fast service and they keep you up to date on your order, Thanks.
Just recently bought a 2012 Kia Sportage that needed a hitch . Dealer ship wanted an extreme price to put a hitch on .
So I just did it my self . Very easy install it's just 4 bolts . If yours is an vehicle from the north a wire brush is a must to clean bolt holes .The videos are a big help if you are less mechanically inclined
Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver. Easy order. Arrived on time. Super easy install!! Recessed under bumper. Shiny black. Hint: GET THE WIRE BRUSH TO CLEAN NUTS UNDER CAR !!!
LOOKS GREAT!!
This was a fantastic buy! It took me twenty minutes to install by myself. Had to acquire a torque wrench to finish it off, but that was only a $10 purchase. I have used the hitch twice now since my installation, and would recommend e-trailer to everybody, and anybody looking for a tow hitch. Forgot to mention it was 1/4 the price of the dealer, and you can barely tell it is on the vehicle.
Received the hitch in great shape. Everything fit great and it bolted in place with no problems. Nice heavy-duty hitch. Looks great. Thanks!
