Really good experience with etrailer. Ordered this online and received within about a week. Package came in good shape and wife was able to get it inside on her own. Hardware package was taped to the hitch as to avoid it sliding around during transit (or falling through any rips in the box). Found a local company that was able to put it on the next day and they had me in and out in 45 minutes (I assume it is pretty easy to do on your own but I do not have any of the right tools).
Just got it installed and it looks great! It was installed by DP Auto Service located on Connecticut Ave, Washington DC. Purchased the trailer receiver from E-Trailer and it was delivered on time. Ordering process was easy and they provided a fit guide to ensure you purchase the correct trailer.
Works great and the profile is real small on our Toyota Sienna. Also very easy to install yourself. The instructions are very easy to follow.
Great fit. Sits about half inch closer to the bumper than the other hitches I’ve seen. I like how hidden the hitch is as well.

That is super hidden! I don't think id ever notice a hitch on the vehicle just walking by. Looks great, Keng!
This arrived earlier than expected with good instructions as well as the video you sent which was very helpful. You made it easy to find the right hitch through your online ordering process. The price was very good, too. Thanks!
I ordered this hitch on Wednesday (with free shipping), received it on Friday and installed it on Saturday. It fits perfectly on my 2015 Sienna. I had a Drawtite hitch installed which I removed to install this Curt concealed hitch. The Drawtite kept bottoming out with a light duty trailer attached. I installed this by myself, but a second person would be helpful. It took me roughly 2 hours total to remove the Drawtite and install this one. I backed the car up on ramps and loosened the tailpipe hanger behind the right rear wheel. Here is the way I did the 2-man job by myself (I'm 73 yrs. old). After removing the old hitch, I loosely put one bolt (just a couple of turns) in the forward most hitch mounting hole on each side. Then I lifted the hitch and tied it loosely to each of these 2 bolts. Then I was able to maneuver the concealed part of the hitch behind the rear fascia, following the instructions on the etrailer video. After the hitch was in place, I opened the trunk and tied the 2" receiver just below the fascia loosey to the trunk latch. At this point the hitch was loosely suspended in position. I removed the tied up end and bolt from one side and screwed it loosely in place and then did the same for the other side. To finish up I inserted, tightened up and torqued all six bolts. This hitch has no place to attach the wiring plug, so you have to be creative there. All in all a great experience dealing with etrailer and a perfectly fitting, nearly invisible hitch.

After a year this hitch is still working as expected. A greeat purchase.
Quick delivery, easy install of the hitch with two people. Definitely watch the installation videos as the paper directions can become confusing at times. As suggested,I did NOT remove the bumper. Also, I did cover the holes where the rubber plugs were removed with the stickers that covered up the weld nut holes and duct tape to keep debris out. Will work out great for bike rack and small trailer towing. I also like that it is tucked away behind the vertical plane of the bumper so that its not a shin bitter. :)

Working great and you hardly notice it.
Hitch was a perfect fit. Installation video was very helpful—much better than what came inside the box. Hitch installation only took an hour. Very happy with my purchase. Also installed wiring harness as seen in photo. That took a little longer as wiring installation video available was for 2018. 2019 had some slight changes behind panel and underneath the car—but was easy to improvise a solution. Thank you etrailer for the videos!!!

Hitch is solid! No issues. Used it for our Curt 5-bike rack and a 8’ x 4’ utility trailer. Great investment and reasonable cost—saved a bundle when you install yourself. Before you say you can’t do it, watch the etrailer videos...they will change your mind.
Arrived well packaged and a perfect fit. I removed the rear bumper rather than bend the support tabs (re video) With the bumper removed I had better access.
The curt instructions in step 3 and the etrailer video have a minor error: there are 3 tape covers over the weld nuts and one rubber plug on each side. The rubber plug does not need to be removed - only the 3 tape covers.
To improve underside access I jacked up the rear onto jack stands and then balanced the hitch on a garage jack using a hitch mount and as a counter weight. With that I was able to maneuver the hitch into place w/o an assistant. Note the install washers are conical not flat - install with the dimples towards the body.
The instructions suggest cutting out 4 in x 7 in from the mud panel however 3 5/8 was plenty assuming the cut is accurately centered. Tin snips worked well.
Neat installation - the cross bar is not visible
The trailer hitch receiver was easy to install, with clear instructions. I was even able to do it myself. The only caveat I would add is that it may not be necessary to drop the exhaust, and that was the most time-consuming part of the installation because it took me so long to get those rubber isolators off their mounts, and then back on.
This is a really great hitch that fits perfectly under the car. When I say "perfect," I mean that only the hitch receiver is visible—everything else is neatly hidden behind the bumper. All the necessary parts were included in the package, and shipping was part of the price.
I needed help with installation, and the installer they recommended came over and did the job at a very reasonable price. Overall, it's a great product that I use to tow my bikes and other items. Their customer support is excellent, and I highly recommend etrailer.
Easy install. Very clean looking hitch. The only part that's visible is the receiver. This is way better than a factory installed Toyota hitch.

After one year this trailer hitch is going strong and looking good. 4 inch rise for the ball works good.
Nice low profile hitch for a Sienna. Easy to install. I installed it by myself. I highly recommend having a helper to lift it into place. Also, if you don’t have access to a lift—which I suspect is most people—get yourself some car ramps and chocks because you’ll need room to maneuver. (That’s the annoying thing about installation videos—including eTrailer’s: who has a lift in their home garage?)
Can’t complain about anything. I installed this hitch on my 2018 Toyota Sienna LE AWD with a friend. We required some tools (plastic pry tools, shears to cut plastic body panels, wrenches, jack and stands, etc.). The hitch keeps my Thule four bike rigidly attached. The only wiggle or slop I feel is in the rack and not the hitch.
Made in USA — I love that. Installation was straightforward. Everything lined up as expected. Nice solid hitch. I’d buy it again.
Perfect fit. The installation instructions were very helpful and provided enough detail to prepare for the job and execute the job with no problems.
Since I did not have a lift, I used a cinder block and leftover pieces of 2x4 and hardwood flooring to prop up the receiver prior to installing the bolts. I used the shipping box to slide the equipment into position. The box also acted as a back cushion.
Since I was installing this solo in the driveway, I had to figure out a way to lift and get it into place. Using a large floor car jack with wheels and a long handle, I could maneuver and lift the device into place while I worked the bolts by hand. NOTE: not mentioned in the shee that came with it, was the need to bend two bolts out of the way for installation, and then bend the bolts back into place. These are the two closes the the back hitch location that you use a giant Philips screwdriver to remove the skid plate from. The cardboard box itself is great for sliding underneath the vehicle.
Super easy to install and looks factory. It's a good idea to follow the simple etrailer install video than follow the instructions that were provided, which recommends that you take off the bumper. There were some scratches and scuff marks on the trailer which could have happened during delivery - box was torn open slightly when I got it. Other than that, I'm happy once again with etrailer's pricing and tutorial video.
Watched the installation video on the website which was very helpful. They recommend loosening the exhaust and bending down two tabs holding the appearance panel. I was able to skip this with the help of my son. Total time was about one hour. I found the item to be heavy for one person. I used a floor jack to help hold it while I bolted it in. Shipping was fast even with a holiday and it was very well packaged. Straightforward installation. Receiver is high enough that it does not bottom when pulling into the driveway. Use it for a bike rack on road trips with no issues.
The design of this Curt hitch is awesome. The only part of the hitch that is visible is the receiver tube.
Hitch went on easily in 59 minutes. (Tried to beat the expert time). Had tools set up ahead of time and a friend to help hold in place while fastening. I did not take the bumper piece off, and just slid the hitch up behind it as demonstrated in the video. The stickers Toyota used to protect the weld nuts worked great. There was no rust on the 4 year old sienna(2016) that has been driven through three Minnesota salty winters.
Ordered on Monday before Thanksgiving and it arrive Friday AM! Well packaged. Great instructions. I watched the installation videos prior to it arriving so I had a basic idea of what I needed to do. It took me about 2 hours with just auto ramps and my 11 year old son. We managed to get the passenger side in first which allows you to avoid removing the exhaust hanger. It is a little tricky but manageable, getting the hitch tucked in to the area between the gas tank and bumper skin with the 2 tabs that are fixed on the frame. All in all looks great and was easy to install thanks to etrailer! It’s my second hitch from them and yet another awesome experience. PS also love the live tracking as it gets packed to shipped and all along the route??
I fought this install for hours. Both sides of this hitch were out of square. 1/4” on one side, 7/8” on the other. Put it in my bench vise and bent it into shape. Did it very carefully so as not to ruin the powder coat finish. Bolted up easy after that.
etrailer customer service was great and very responsive. Arranged to ship me a replacement quickly, which wasn’t necessary in the end.
Three stars only because I shouldn’t have to (or be able to) bend my trailer hitch in a bench vise. It’s bonkers, but it worked:

This hitch is amazing! Easy to install and nicely tucks under the rear bumper fascia so it doesn't hang down so far. Don't use the printed instructions though; use the video and save yourself a lot of hassle. My second hitch from etrailer. Great service!
Hitch fit like a glove. Fit and finish were excellent.
I followed the directions on etrailer's website (Thank you) This hitch is primarily going to be used for a bike rack but also occasionally towing a small boat.
I would recommend a second set of hands when installing. It was heavy to do solo.
