Speaker 1: Today, we're taking a look at the Curt Rubber Hitch Cover for inch and a quarter hitches. Now hitch covers are a great way to add a finished look to your hitch. They also do a great job at keeping dirt, grime and moisture out of the receiver tube of the hitch, which helps prevent rust and corrosion. This is made from a rubber construction. Has the Curt name, as well as the logo, right there on the front. Black in color.
IT is designed for inch and a quarter by inch and a quarter hitches. So if we take a measurement of this portion here, it's a square design. Measures inch and a quarter by an inch and a quarter. And there's no pins or clips needed to get it secured, You just place it inside the receiver tube of your hitch, push it in until it seats all the way, and it's gonna be held in place. You'll notice that it has these raised portions, one on each side.
And that's gonna help create a nice, tight, secure fit inside the receiver tube of the hitch.The front face of the unit, edge to edge, measures two and one eighth inches by two and one eighth inches. That's gonna do it for today's look at the Curt Rubber Hitch Cover for inch and a quarter hitches.
Average Customer Rating: 4.6 out of 5 stars (165 Customer Reviews)
still have one of two purchased, so remember to take it off prior to entering a car wash. Will order again if need, still makes the hitch look neat and professional as it covers the unavoidable rust on the insider of the receiver. If I did not lose any in car washes, the rating would have been five stars, but I have no suggestion that would improve it. It comes out easily, but holds in well, except in am car wash.
Everything went perfect with the purchase. Easy to purchase, great correspondence and followup from etrailer. Product arrived on time and it was the correct product. etrailer was very easy to work with and I would highly recommend using them.
I ordered the Curt 1-1/4" rubber tube cover for a Curt hitch that I installed on my 2004 Volvo XC70. I had previously ordered the hitch from etrailer.com and was extremely pleased with their service. Same for the Curt rubber tube cover. Great price and super fast shipping. Great communication after the sale so I knew exactly when my order shipped and when it would arrive. I actually ordered two Curt rubber tube covers. The Curt hitch is open at both ends so I used a cover for both openings to keep dirt and debris from collecting inside the receiver tube. Tight fit so no worries that they will fall out. Excellent product from an excellent supplier.
I am really pleased with your company. Every time I order something I get at the time promised,also quality and service makes companies great!
Wanted this pretty much only because it's my name. I haven't seen it since I installed it. It seemed somewhat loose, it must have popped out once I started driving.
Perfect fit ! Looks good and keeps road debris and dirt out. Adds the professional stealthy finishing touch to my Curt receiver. Ordering another for my other car.
Easy plug and play installtion. Looks nice on my 2013 Prius with the drawtite hitch. Since the hitch sticks out an inch or so, the lip on this cover can catch on auto car wash rollers and get dislodged. Other reviewers mentioned this in their post as well. The rubber hitch cover will help ease injury if people accidentally hit the protruded hitch.
I not only purchased an additional cover to my hitch after I put the original on the top of my car and drove away, but with the awesome customer care I got when calling, I purchased my trailer/bicycle hitch and bike rack through etrailer! So, I was at the Western Maryland Rail Trail on this beautiful Sunday when a Mercedes pulled up next to my Audi A5 who had a disappointed trunk bicycle rack. I told them how awesome etrailer was to work with and fit the perfect hitch, rack and cover for my specific car! I'm so thrilled with your service and to share this with others! Karen
Original 1 1/4" 'Subaru' hitch cover was missing after I had work done at the local Subaru dealership. Ordered this Curt rubber tube cover as replacement, price was reasonable and looks as good as original. However it doesn't fit quite a snug. Could see how it might be forced out in an automatic car wash.
Excellent service and pricing along with timely delivery!
I wanted a rubber plug because my old hard plastic plug that came with the hitch got lost. I tried a hard plug replacement plug but it would not fit. This fit it easily. The only think that bothers me, is that this rubber plug might be too loose and I may have to think up a retainer of some sort.
I put the 118673 wiring kit and a Curt Hitch receiver on a 2019 Honda HRV All Wheel drive and How can one not love it when you get done and it all works like it is supposed to. The Curt hitch almost hides at the back of the vehicle. My wife didn't notice it until I told her it was already installed. Keeping in mind, the times suggested are for a “PRO” who has a hoist to put the vehicle on and it will take the DIYer a bit longer. The only “real problem” that I had was that with the torque wrench I have, (one brought over on the Mayflower) I was unable to get enough swing to use it on the nut up above the muffler so after tightening the driver side nut, I then used a box-end and using the feel needed to tighten it a bit more, I used that feel to tighten the passenger side above the muffler. Even at 75 years of age and with vertigo, I still have the ability to turn an hour job into a 5 hour job and now my wife understands why I did not want her to sell my ramps, jack-stands and other things she thought an old man shouldn't need. Chidding aside, the videos accessed from etrailer were very good and very helpful. First, because I am “cheap” I was not going to pay over $400 to have a hitch installed, almost $500 for one that was not visible when not in use when the rear differential on the AWD HRV was visible from behind anyhow. I was also not going to pay to use a hoist so I just borrowed a set of ramps using them first under the rear wheels and then under the front to complete the installation of the power lead from the vehicle battery to the trailer lite converter box. A couple suggestions; the first, is do not take the fish wires off of the bolts before you have the hitch up in place. I thought that the hitch was light enough that I could put it up there, hold it in place and start the nuts but as luck would have it, one of the bolts ended up inside the frame. Not wanting it in there to rattle around I had to find a magnet small enough to fit through the hole used to fish the bolt into place and using a stiff enough piece of wire to be able to move the magnet effectively I manage to recover the bolt. Then I had to “RE-form” the fish wire to use it again to fish the bolt into place again. The second suggestion is that I used a lot more Zip-ty's than were supplied because we live in snow country and I did not want snow and ice hanging from the power lead and bringing it down lower and possibly getting damaged during our winters and I also put the power lead inside a flexible vinyl tubing which took a bit of creative pursuation to get 20 feet of wire into a 3/8 in flexible vinyl tubing but I think the extra protection the lead will have is worth the effort. And finally, if you remove a cargo area light from the cargo area side panel to get extra room behind the side panel, one has to make sure you have put it back into its place of mounting or you will have to take the rear door threshold and side panel loose again to get your cargo area light back into its proper place.
had two for over a year, but auto car washes have taken both away at this point and I am now ordering replacement. The cover for the most part stays in place and gives the vehicle a finished look when the hitch is off. Trouble with soft cloth car washes is the cloths can whip these covers out, but I have learned my lesson and will remove the cover and replace after the wash in the future.
This was a small purchase but I needed it to spruce up the trailer hitch on my 1991 Miata. I painted it red to match my car and then highlighted the word "CURT" on it. I was surprised with such a small purchase how good the customer service with order confirmation,tracking and follow-thru was. I would definitely keep etrailer in mind for my next larger purchase as I know I would get top notch service and pricing.
I already had the Curt 1-1/4 hitch on my Honda Fit, so all I needed was just the rubber cover to keep the open end of the hitch clean. The product arrived promptly and fits very securely. I know it's a simple part but it does the job. In addition the entire ordering and delivery process highlights etrailer's service and performance. Whether ordering a $300 bike rack or a $3 plug, etrailer comes through with a satisfying experience.
The Curt Rubber Tube Cover was great. Evidently, someone else liked it too and thought it would work well on their vehicle, because it was stolen several months after I installed it in my hitch. It was great while I had it.
Basic rubber plug that fits to the edges of the hitch opening. I do wish it extended far enough to use a locking hitch pin like the metal option 5351. But it is inexpensive to replace should it be lost.
Second time using etrailer... both times worked great. Purchased hitch,wiring kit, ball hitch. And dust cover for my 2019 chevy cruze.. opened box and could not find the dust cover. Sent a email And one was shipped the same day. Great service.. correct parts THE FIRST TIME. Keep it up etrailer!
Not a very snug fit with my 1.25" Curt hitch. Had to wrap electrical tape around the rubber cap to make it fit snug. Do not recommend this cap. Also once in the sun and heat, a white film formed on the rubber surface. Easy to remove but not very attractive, not sure if the rubber will "bloom again". Cost of product and $2.99 shipping, spend your money on another cap.
Nice little rubber cap to go on the end of the hitch when my bike rack is not installed. It fits in the hitch perfectly, nice and solid and will keep debris out of the hitch opening. Super fast shipping, thank you eTrailer.com!
Excellent product for covering a trailer hitch. makes a lot more sense than the plastic ones. Nice secure snug fit.
item is good, not happy with shipping charges, and a suggestion, at the time of trailer hitch order i wish there was a notification to accessories to add to the order so i didn't had to pay shipping charge for the cap.
Tube Cover by Curt looks neat and serves a useful purpose. We are happy with it as with the complete package that we ordered from etrailer.com. Also we were happy with the prices as we did a lot of compare shopping. Thanks again!
Fits snugly keeps the rain snow and dirt from entering the hitch tube.
I ordered two of these covers for when I'm not using my hitch-head so I can keep dirt out of the receiver. They arrived very fast and fit perfectly. Thanks
