Average Customer Rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars (797 Customer Reviews)
Super easy to install. It took 20 minutes. My only issue was finding a 1/2in hex bit socket to shoot the large top bolt. It's not a common size. Once that obstacle was overcome, installation was a snap.
My bike rack and trailer are secure and safe on the hitch. I'm happy with my purchase.
It tits snugly and prevents junk going into the hitch. It’s on my wife’s ca r and she sparingly uses the hitch, so the cover basically lives in the hitch. She’s had it for a year and it never fell out.
Great quality, and the directions were clear and easy to follow. Took me about six hours to install, which included a trip to Home Depot and then another to Lowe’s to find something that would work to enlarge the holes. (Tip: Lowe’s has a 2-step Unibit by Irwin, 7/8” to 1 1/8” for about $xx. Expensive, but it definitely made the job easier.) The exhaust hangers were a pain to remove; use lube to make them easier to work off. I did the optional step of drilling the exhaust heat shield because I didn’t want to leave it off. There is one bolt that will not be replaced when you reinstall it. There is also one bolt on the driver’s side cover that will not be replaced. It will be a huge help if you have a friend hold up the hitch when you bolt it on, or use jack stands. I struggled working it into place by myself. I’ve been an etrailer customer for years. They are hands down the best retailer for all your towing needs, and their customer service is top notch.
So far it has been just fine good quality hitch . so far i have only used it for a cargo carrier worked great .
Nice firm rubber, not hard plastic. Fits nice and snug in Curt hitch.
Douglas - 07/12/2023I was a bit skeptical but this actually worked out of the box on my honda CRV. Install was fine and I actually did it single-handed and without a lift. Took me 2 hours. Hitch has been great for a year now.
I really appreciated the fish wire provided with the bolts. Everything was very well laid out and easy to understand from the instructions and installation process.
Should have been using this for years to prevent rust in the hitch receiver. Works great!
Cannot complain at all - fit perfect just as I was told it would!
Other sites told me there were no tow hitch available for my vehicle!
They were wrong! Thank you!
Inexpensive way to prevent water getting into the hitch and causing rust over the long run
Awesome price and very useful. I don't tow constantly and pop this in my hitch to keep it clean. Recommended 100%
Very responsive and efficient service. It would have been good to know that the trailer hitch does not automatically come with a cover, which had to be ordered separately.
Every Curt product I ever ordered and installed fit perfect and was high quality.
Second hitch purchased from you…great fit and appearance…very prompt shipping…thank you, etrailer!
Well built and fits tightly. Needed for front mounted hitch to keep the tube clean inside.
I purchased the CURT trailer hitch for my 2021 Lincoln Corsair about one year ago. I only use to tow around the tow dolly at RV parks. The one issue I have is it appeared the left (Driver's) side mounting holes (front hole) needs to be oblong 1/4" more towards the front, so the mount bolt could fall in straight down, instead of being cocked facing backwards. Installation was easy for a one person, lying on the floor using a floor jack and basic hand tools, and instructions were easy to follow.
Great product and fit as advertised for 2004 Outback. Customer support and service is excellent.
Everything worked well and installed well for my application...thanks
Great product and easy installation
The hitch appeared to be just short of reaching both frame attach points and although it tightened down fine it could have been a bit wider. Bits of paint missing here and there but overall it went on fine. However, Hyundai is in the process of recalling autos with hitches due to a fire hazard with the control module. I don't intend to mount the wire harness until I'm convenced that it's safe to do so.
These items should be a standard package when ordering the trailer hitch.
2023 Sportage PHEV
Product came with all required parts. Attempts to install without trimming molding were unsuccessful-too tight to thread hitch-to-frame bolts. Used a floor jack and install was uncomplicated.
Fit was perfect and install took less than 1 hour. You do need 2 people to hold it up. It does interfere with the Hands Free Assist for the rear hatch on a 23 Pilot. Only negative was that UPS just about destroyed the box during shipping, which scuffed it up just a bit.
