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.
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.
Very 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 - 03/17/2021I 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 - 10/17/2020Looks great but it fell off. Would be nice if it had a retaining collar to wrap around the hitch.
The hitch fit perfect. Had to go buy a tap to clean up the holes in the frame though. Very easy to install.
Great looking hitch, arrived in time and the instructions and installation was a breeze!
Looks great and was fairly easy to install beside the rust that was already built up in the bolt holes on the drivers side. Would buy from etrailer again for sure!
High quality products with exceptional customer care. My hitch was delivered in a box that was wet and broken due to shipping problems. The hitch arrived fine but one part was missing (no doubt fell out of the broken box that was damaged). Customer care immediately re-shipped the missing part. I am totally happy with the quality and customer service from etrailer.com.
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.
Not much to tell. Since it is E trailer product it should be included with the purchase of the trailer hitch.
first of all, it is extremely important to cover the hitch stalk input hole when not pulling a trailer. otherwise it will rust to a point where installing the stalk is difficult. some people think the answer is to leave the stalk in permanently. two things re: people smack their legs into the damn thing while traversing a tightly packed parking lot. also, it will rust in place & need to be removed with a cutting torch or industrial saw when & if you don't need it anymore. i ordered a plug from etrailer for our new ford escape & found their website easy to navigate & use. they quickly & continually informed me of the order status which was accurate. last night i installed the "etrailer hitch plug" in our new escape. it was a nice easy to install- snug fit. thank you etrailer!
I use this in the 2-inch receiver to keep out water and dirt. It keeps the receiver channel clean which helps when inserting my tow ball mount.
Chiefh - 11/03/2020Great product for keeping your trailer receiver clean and free of rust. You would be foolish not to add this on your order.
Fits great, looks great and keeps the hitch receiver from rusting. Good value for the dollar!!
Like the German’s say, “Guten tight”. Fits well. I put one on both ends of my hitch to keeptrash, mud, and critters out. Provides a more finished look.
Etrailer is the best. Wide selection of products and accessories for our hitch.
After UPS delivered package to wrong address, the hitch arrived and installed exactly as represented. It would have been easier to install with a helper but I managed to install, single handed, in less than an 1 1/2 hr. Watching the install video on etrailer site made for a fairly simple job. Very satisfied with product and with help provided by Julie H and Derek S in dealing with the UPS snafu.
It fits in the trailer hitch receiver properly, easy to remove and re-install. No issues.
