Features to know about

Get More Out of Every Haul: Class III Strength with 2" Receiver

This Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver gives you solid strength for everyday towing and gear transport. Rated for a maximum gross trailer weight of 6,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 600 lbs, it's built to handle small campers, boats, or cargo carriers with confidence. The 2" x 2" receiver opening works with most common towing accessories, so you can easily hook up a ball mount, bike rack, or storage platform without needing extra adapters.

Built for the Long Haul: Fully Welded Steel with Rust-Resistant Finish

The hitch is made from powder coated steel that stands up to weather and road debris. Its gloss black powder coat finish is applied over a protective base coat for superior corrosion resistance. Because it's fully welded, you get consistent strength across the frame — no weak points or flimsy joints to worry about. It’s the combination of heavy-duty construction and lasting protection that makes this hitch dependable trip after trip.

Simple, Secure Mounting: Bolt-On Installation with Precision Fit

This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly onto your vehicle’s frame with no welding required. Precision, robotic welding ensures the mounting points line up exactly where they should for an accurate fit and solid hold. All necessary mounting hardware is included, so you can install it using standard tools without special equipment. Once installed, you'll have a sturdy receiver that looks clean and stays tight through every tow.

Holding strong. I use it primarily to move my dirt bike using a hitch carrier with zero issues. I’ve also towed some lightweight trailers carrying several bikes at once with no problems. Quality seems to be good.

Great product. Installation wasn't too hard with proper tools on hand. Needs two people. Working great.



by:

Fit well. Fast shipping good price. Would deal with etrailer again no problem.



by:

Customer service was on point with helping us with delivery ASAP. Exactly what we needed & wanted. Paid for three day shipping and got the part on the third day. Great quality hitch for towing!



by:

The trailer hitch I purchased was very high quality came on time and with great directions and fit perfectly.



by:

I saved about $900.00 dollars by doing this job myself. The fact that the installation instructions were easily found on the web made it a truly positive experience. I followed the instructions step by step and it couldn't have been easier.



by:

I love the easy installation of the hitch. Unfortunately I haven’t had a chance to use it yet because I had no need to use my trailer. I’m sure that this product will work out well though when I use it.



by:

I found the "retrofit" trailer hitch to be exactly as advertised. The instructions, fit and finish were excellent. Would buy from etrailer.com for sure!



by:

Shipping was fast. Installation was easy. I did the installation myself. No help.
Taking off the bumper was the only difficult part, because you need to disconnect parking sensor cable.
Fit was very good. I bought the right size drill bit needed to attach the most forward part. The rest of the hardware was included. Instructions were clear.
I'm using the hitch to pull 2000 lbs trailer with 2 jet skies.
So far no problems. Very good product.
