Wonderful product. I had the hitch installed in 10 minutes. The wiring was a little more tricky because it required running a power wire all the way to the battery. I towed my trailer from Florida to Tennessee and back. Etrailer is still wonderful to deal with as they always have been in the past. My hitch came in a couple of days. I wouldn't think of ordering from any one else.

Just a note you have to get a hitch pin separate. It did not come with the hitch or drawbar.

etrailer is smart. They ask for a review a year later and not 10 minutes after you buy the product. That gives you a chance to install it and use it. This receiver has done as I expected. It was an easy install and works well. The only downside to date was me. I left the hitch attached to the car/receiver and a guy walked around my car, kind of close to it and tripped over the ball mount/draw bar. Ouch!! Love etrailer and my hitch assembly.

i placed an order through etrailer and received the first shipment on time as expected, though after trying to install the receiver I realized that it was for the 4 door version of my car instead of the coupe. I called them instantly and within 5 minutes of talking to their customer service i had a new receiver on the way to my door step. The customer service here is amazing and they do their best to take care of their customers. The new part was received and fit just as intended. it is high quality and looks amazing!!!! I would recommend them for any and all trailer needs.

I ordered a receiver for a 2014 Subaru Impreza, and a drawbar and hitch cover. The package arrived a bit beat up, but nothing was missing or damaged. I intend to use the receiver for a bicycle mount and the drawbar (with an eyebolt) as a rear tie-down for kayaks and probably won't really tow anything. The online video on how to thread the carriage bolts and anti-spin washers was excellent as were the printed instructions. The fish wire (two different ones) was included and was 'threaded' or coiled to hold the threads of each bolt quite firmly. The stiffness of the wire was perfect. I used a 'step drill' to enlarge the two front holes in the frame (these new frames aren't made with a real heavy gauge metal, btw) The step drill made a near-perfect round hole vs a Dremel type device that others have used, but either would be fine. Wear goggles to protect your eyes from flying metal shards, please, but don't be intimidated by the project! You will most likely need a helper; my wife threaded the nuts on the bolts while I held up the roughly 30 pound hitch. I also gooped the top of the hitch with black silicone caulk to waterproof the connection. I had no need for the spacers and the receiver was about a half inch from the bottom of the bumper and flush -to -slightly- in from the back of the car. Etrailer does offer tracking now, so earlier criticisms--if valid then--have been acted upon. Delivery to Cleveland area from Mo. was two to three days. I just wish they offered a device for the front area of the vehicle for tie-down lines for the kayaks (hint, hint, but I have a plan for that). Secure and satisfied.

Couldn't tow with out this, though I am using it the opposite way of the photo. I would love to get one that has double or even triple the "raise" I get from this one, I still have to jack up the car with a hydraulic floor jack I carry with me, otherwise the trailer could not be put on the car.
Comments
Thank you for your review. The ball mount that fits a one and a quarter inch hitch with the most rise available is part BR39FR with a five and a half inch rise. The Brophy ball mount is the same length as your current ball mount at seven and a quarter inches long. If you are looking for a ball mount that is less expensive, I recommend part C45014 which has a five inch rise and is 9 and five eighths inches long.

I spent around $175 for a what I thought to be a complete hitch installation and apparently the lousy $2.00 receiver pin was too much cost for etrailer to include. So now I get the pleasure to travel 25 miles to buy that pin locally. Amazon looks better every day.
Comments
Our description states that the hitch pin and clip or locking hitch pin is sold separately. This is to allow our customers to choose the approiate lock that they may need, or mayalready have for their accessories. If you would like the standard hitch pin that would be used for this item is a F-4. Or a locking version as part C23517.

I purchased both the trailer hitch for my 2007 Honda Element and the wiring harness. The products came shipped to me on time and packaged very well. Installation of the hitch was extremely easy. Only thing I would recommend is to use a drill bit file instead of a drill to enlarge the hole to mount the hitch because it doesn't really need to be enlarged that much more. The wiring harness was also extremely easy to install. I suggest using the videos on YouTube because those helped to make things a little clearer. I am extremely satisfied with the products and value that I received from this company. I would recommend it highly.

I have never regretted ordering through etrailer. As always, this order arrived precisely on-time. The wiring for trailer lights proceeded exactly as expected. The online video describing the installation was very helpful with no surprises encountered while following the instruction. Don't forget to order a hitch pin. Surprisingly, it wasn't included with the drawbar.

The hitch receiver and ball mount arrived together and much faster than I would have expected (2 days). When there was a question about installation (I did it myself) customer service answered my question quickly and it all came together fast. I could not have been happier with the whole experience. The whole unit has been working just fine, as expected. And the price is hard to beat.

Hi Jerry, Thanks for your feedback! I would recommend using the Pro Series Anti-Rattle Device, part # 63090

$36.60, to help reduce the rattling in the hitch receiver.

Ask the Experts about this CURT Trailer Hitch Ball Mount
- Will Curt Ball Mount C45521 Fit a 2014 Subaru Outback with Class I Trailer HitchBall mount # C45521 is compatible with Class I and II trailer hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers. So it will fit the hitch. Usually though on Class I and II trailer hitches you have to use the ball mount indicated by the hitch manufacturer or it could void the hitch warranty. If the hitch is an OEM hitch then you will need to check with the dealer. The issue is that on Class I and II trailer hitches they test and rate the hitch using a specific ball mount. The use of a different ball mount...
view full answer... - Availability of 1-1/4 Inch Ball Mount for 50mm Hitch Ball with 1 Inch Diameter ShankI do have a solution for you, however all of our available ball mounts for 1-1/4 inch receivers feature a ball hole diameter of 3/4 inches. I recommend simply going with a new 50mm hitch ball like the Draw-Tite # 63912, which features a 3/4 inch diameter shank. You can then pair the ball with any 1-1/4 inch ball mount we have available, such as the Curt Class II Drawbar # C45521. This ball mount has a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds and a rise of 2-5/8 inches or a drop of 3-1/4 inches....
view full answer... - Hitch and Ball Mount Recommendation for a 2015 Honda AccordI spoke to my contact at Curt and he informed me that the Curt Hitch part # C11681 that you referenced has been confirmed to fit all models of the 2015 Honda Accord so it would work great on your 2015 Honda Accord Sedan Touring. The recommended ball mount with this kit is the part # C45521 which has a 3/4 inch ball hole diameter. Whether or not this would be an ideal solution for carrying an American flag will depend a lot on the size of the flag and pole you plan to use.

Installation will require temporary removal of the bumper and heat shield. This light-duty hitch will bolt on using included hardware and the only specialized tool needed is a torque wrench. If you intend to use a bike rack with it, please note that only 2 bikes can be carried on a Class I hitch. Please refer to the linked article on hitch classes. You...
view full answer... - Class I and II Trailer Hitches and Accessories are 1-1/4 InchClass II trailer hitches and accessories all have 1-1/4 inch receivers/shanks. Class III accessories and hitches are 2 inch. If you have a Class I or Class II trailer hitch then you are supposed to use the ball mount recommended by the trailer hitch manufacturer for warranty reasons. If you have a 2004 Scion xB then all of the hitches for it are Class I trailer hitches and you should be using ball mount # C45521. I have included some links on hitch classes and ball mounts for you.

- What Ball Mount to Use with Curt Hitch C11402With Class I hitches like the # C11402 you have to use the recommended ball mount from Curt which is the part # C45521. Using a different ball mount would potentially damage the hitch since the length would be different and the leverage might cause damage.
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount Recommendation for Use with Curt Hitch on 2018 Honda CivicThe problem is that Class I hitches like what you have require you to only use the recommended ball mount for that hitch. This is due to the lower capacity of the hitch not being rated for added leverage of a higher or lower ball mount. With the Curt hitch part # C11604 that you referenced you have to use the # C45521 which has a 2-5/8 inch rise.
view full answer... - Is Fishwire Tool Included With Curt Hitch For 2001 Honda CivicThe Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C11204 has the fishwire tool needed for installation of the hitch. This hitch has a 1-1/4 X 1-1/4 inch receiver opening, and is a Class l hitch, and is a good fit for your 2001 Honda Civic 2 or 4 door if it is not a hatchback. The hitch will not fit Si models. All non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2018 Honda FitOffically Honda states your 2018 Honda Fit is not rated for towing a trailer. Since people will still tow and there is a demand for a hitch for your vehicle we have a hitch like the Curt part # C11406 which is a confirmed fit as well as trailer wiring like # 118767. For a ball mount you'd need the part # C45521 as well.

This can then be paired with the 19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18110 which will work just fine for a lawnmower. Please note, you will have to prop the wheels on the mower outside the platform but this is really the only option since they don't make the carrier wide enough for this.

Best option would be to tow a small trailer with your vehicle. To do that you'd also need trailer wiring like the Tekonsha part # 118673 and a ball mount like # C45521.
