Black rubber hitch cover protects your hitch receiver from dirt and debris when not in use. No pins or clips needed.I ordered the Curt hitch for my 2018 Acura MDX. It fit perfectly though the rubber hanger for the exhaust had to be moved over about a 1/2” to allow the hitch to be lifted into position. The job would have been easier if my car was on a lift and I had another pair of hands. I had neither so I had to improvise. I put the hitch on a dolly and moved it into position under the car. Using shims, I raised the hitch high enough on one side to get the bolts started. Note, I followed the instructions and cleaned and greased the 6 bolt holes. After getting the bolts on one side started I shimmed up the other side. This is where the rubber exhaust hanger got in the way. Using a wonder bar I levered the hanger out of the way until the hitch flange cleared it. I inserted the 3 bolts and tightened them down. I then tightened the bolts on the side I had attached first. One of the bolts would not screw in all the way. After repeated attempts to clean the whole the bolt still would not go in all the way. Not sure what the problem is. Will have a mechanic take a look at it the next time my car is on a lift. I am a senior citizen and attaching the lift by myself with the car on the ground was a challenge as my aching back will attest to. Better to have another pair of helping hands and the car on a lift or ramps to ease the install.
Installed easily onto our 2019 Subaru Forester Sport. Very happy.
While everything from E-Trailer has been top-notch, I was hesitant with such an inexpensive part. I have been let down with durability from items from other sources. This item gets handled weekly as we put either a hitch ball, bike rack or just the plug into the hitch.
The etrailer hitch cover works great, after a year it still locks in tight and basically shows no signs of wear at all, it survived the brutal new york winter and my hitch has no rust at all as a result, well worth the money!!
The 2" receiver I installed from etrailer has been working well for the past year. I haul several mountain bikes with my Acura MDX almost daily. The hitch arrived ontime, in good shape, with all required hardware. Welds and hole locations were right on. The install took less than an hour The hardest part was torquing the bolts to full spec (dont recall if that was 120 or 150 ft-lb). Used service removable loctite (blue). Also used etrailer for a 2" receiver on our Subaru Outback. There were more plastic exterior panels to remove with that one but it was not a difficult job either. 2 wins for me with etrailer!
The hitch fit perfect. Had to go buy a tap to clean up the holes in the frame though. Very easy to install.
Fits as expected. Nice touch to plug the hole when the hitch isn’t being used.
This is the second one of these hitch covers I’ve purchased. The first one is installed on the etrailer hitch on my pickup. It does a great job keeping debris out of the hitch.
The hitch cover gives the hitch a finished and clean look when not in use. Like the look.
Hello, I am very happy with my purchase, everything came up just right as I ordered and I was able to install myself the hitch on my 2018 Tiguan. The videos on the website that eTrailer has helped a lot. Great job guys, thank you for make it so easy. I'm looking forward to my next purchase with you. Fernando
quick delivery, everything i ordered came and was perfect for my car. prices were better that anyone. would highly recommend. after a 6 week wait from any local place to get a hitch, i did my own search and found etrailer they had everything i needed.
Delivery of the items I purchase was very prompt and so far has performed well.
5 Stars because it’s an excellent customer service experience. I was looking for a 2” hitch for our 2017 Outback. They had several options to consider. Each one had a summary of features in addition to full product details. They also had video installation guides. The estimated time for installation was 2-hours and that’s exactly what it took. In addition, when box was torn at a corner the pin I ordered was not in the box. Three days later it was on my mailbox. I will certainly use etrailer again to order the bike rack.
This works great and fits snug. I have pulled it out several times to tow and replaced it. It has never fallen out. A little rust still gets into the tow hitch but nothing like I had before. I we live in an area that gets 70 to 100 inches of rain a year and I am right on the ocean so moisture is an issue but this trailer plug keeps he hitch pretty dry. I am very happen with it and suggest getting one if you want to keep yours clean and dry. The enclosed pictures are right after we had 2 inches of rain.
I think the most important feature to close the sale was the installation videos. The product is awesome. and as a biker I'm excited about a hollywood hitch. so all went well with the install so I'm off to borrow a torque wrench.. Christian
Richard C - 10/17/2020Very convenient accessory! Would buy it again for new car.
Excellent service and quality products for etrailer.com. This is the third hitch I have purchased from the team and the fit is always right on and the service quick and friendly. Could not be happier with my purchase from etrailer.com.
Matthew - 03/17/2021This is my 3rd trailer hitch from etrailer. I put the hitch on my 15 Dodge Caravan by myself, had a friend do the wiring harness. I pulled a 12' uhaul 350 miles to St Paul with no problems. Very happy with my purchase
Heavy duty trailer hitch. It may be more than I need, but that's ok. Delivered as promised. The u-tube video was helpful in determining what hitch to get.
great product, great service, every time I have used etrailer.com. I also really like the installation videos in part for the info and mostly for the staff!
All products were as advertised/shown. Trailer hitch installation was as easy as it was shown in the video. The installation video really helped me make a buying decision! Keep them coming! Ive already recommended trainer to family and friends!
Great looking hitch, arrived in time and the instructions and installation was a breeze!
I have a 2020 RAV4 Hybrid. The trailer hitch I ordered works like a charm! Perfect. Highly recommend.
