Note: Remove the hook before opening or closing the hatch or trunk to avoid damage to your vehicle.
This strap is recommended for use with bike racks and other hitch-mounted accessories to avoid putting too much strain on your trailer hitch. Some Class I and Class II 1-1/4" hitches may require that you use a stabilizing strap to ensure that the hitch does not experience excessive torque while transporting your gear.

Ratings & Reviews
The quality of the hitch is excellent. The shipping was prompt and close to on time (snow and ice storm delayed delivery). Only drawback was the location of the pin holes. It seems to be closer to the receiver than I would like. This leaves a lot of wobble in the bike rack. However, this is remedied with the use of the Curt Cam buckle strap I also purchased that same the time.
This strap is easy to use and I appreciate the peace of mind I have while driving knowing there is extra support of my hitch mounted bike rack. The Velcro fastener makes it easy to bundle the strap’s “tail” so it doesn’t drag while driving.
exactly as advertised. Does what it is supposed to do
Great product with many premium feature s.
Have not used yet
The product does exactly as advertised. And I had a quick question about installation and was given a quick and satisfactory answer from customer service when I called
The Curt Cam buckle stabilizing. Strap works great. I was a bit skeptical at first but it really helps a lot of the wobble that occur without it. Definitely recommend.
Very handy straps th help support my e-bike on my hitch rack.
Great stabilizing straps! Have used them for 8 years, and recently lost the pair I used to secure and steady bikes. These are a must-have on long drives if your hitch mounted rack has any play in it. They are excellent if you have a hatchback or trunk lid you can hook to. Highly recommend!
I've used etrailer.com before, and the service is excellent. The step-by-step video showing the receiver installation on my model year car was extremely helpful.
great people
Purchased this strap as a backup support for the bike rack that I will be using with my new etrailer hitch.
We used our new hitch thanks to etrailer.com !
The bike rake fit perfectly .. we used the support strap too!
Off we go!
Box to hitch 1 minute.
2 ebikes and ready to roll 10 minutes.
A whole new world has opened up. This is absolutely the easiest, most versatile rack ever. At 65, my days of putting a light bike on a roof rack are over. This will handle almost anything.
The service and attention to detail was amazing. The eTrailer team seems like friends at the local bike shop. BUY IT HERE!
Gotta go, mountains to ride.
It does what you would expect. I've used it a few times so far and have no complaints.
Install was very easy, instructions were clear.
Be sure to use WD-40 to loosen up the muffler attachments. That one step alone made this job easier than I expected.
This hitch is used to attach a goal post, so I can carry my kayaks on top.
Great customer service, the best.
We were very impressed with the quality of the Curt Trailer hitch we purchased, its price and how quickly it arrived.
We had the hitch installed by a very good local mechanic for a fraction of the cost quoted by our Honda dealer.
The hitch support strap that was recommended works perfectly with this hitch.
We highly recommend this hitch to anyone.
Outstanding product. The stitching and material are heavy duty. Looks great on my Honda Accord and Thule bike rack. Thanks!

Rating the best. Super good company to deal with.
My purchase was an easy choice with advice I received from customer service. The hitch is working great no problems. You can't go wrong making your purchase from etrailer.

Product works great just like day 1. I look forward to many years of use when maintained properly.
The strap helped to stabilize the bike rack .. Strong & sturdy .. If you get the bike rack & hitch spend the extra for this ... Worked great on my 2013 vw beetle convertible ..

It still works perfect .. very happy
Good product but the buckle eventually fails on these. I've had several and it happened to every single one. Room for improvement here.
I use use a Curt Hitch "Flat Carrier"
https://www.etrailer.com/Hitch-Cargo-Carrier/Curt/C18110.html
for loads on my 2005 Prius.
Bought the recommended support strap and liked the way it took the up-down bounce stress off the hitch, but the carrier still wobbled left to right, rotating slightly within the hitch receiver. Bought a second strap and the two stabilized the load very nicely. I needed a light cord between the two straps at the top of the hatch door to encourage them not to slide off the corners of the door.

I am quite pleased with our flat carrier. We keep the loads low enough & centered enough to not block the brake lights and the license plate. Weve used it to carry bikes as well.
Seems like a well designed strap. I bought it just because I distrust my 1 1/2" hitch and bike rack even though they are both rated for more than my bikes.
Works great for stabilizing the RV bike rack. It doesn’t have a hook for attaching to the hitch but you can loop it around and make it work.
I bought this to use with a new Class III Curt eTrailer for my hybrid bike and another bike periodically. Installation was quick and easy with two people and the right tools. I appreciated the video tutorial. I transported 2 hybrid bikes and a beach cruiser on a Saris bike rack for a trip from TN to SC (9 hours) without any issues. The support strap offered peace of mind in keeping the bike rack stable and secure.

Strap accessory is still working great, I store it in my trunk. I don’t know whether the strap would leave a rub mark on my trunk lid, so just to be safe I cut an 8”-12” piece of pool noodle that has a hole through its center and I position the foam noodle over the corner of the trunk lid before tightening down this strap. It has worked just fine and there is not rub mark.
