great service fast delivery and the how to video made instaltion easy.
Just purchased for an 05 VR6 Touareg. Quick shipping, hitch looks great, and at a good price. I have purchased other Curt products and been very happy. I will install it this weekend if the freezing rain stops.
Easy InstallationSimple installation on my 2004 VW Touareg. Instruction video was very accurate and helpful.
I recently purchased a tow hitch and wiring harness from e trailer for my vehicle, i was extremely happy with the service, prompt updates on shipping, which was spot on and the quality of the equipment was excellent.
I would use and recommend e trailer to anyone.
Thanks guys
I just have to install now!
I must say I looked at the how to video and said, that looks to easy. I just completed installation and was just as easy as the video. That is a first for me in any do it yourself project. Thank you so much for the great service and quick shipping
We bought a trailer hitch for a VW Toureg and the shipping was 3 to 5 days faster at no additional charge. The installation video was very helpful and the installation went without a "hitch". No pun intended. We will use etrailer again as we have needs.

Toureg Trailer HitchThe service, product and direction that I received from this company was phenomenal. Really, exceptional. In this day and age there are not too many companies that come even close to what etrailer.com delivered on.
I had hesitation on a DIY install of a trailer hitch on my 2008 Touareg. I submitted a request for info. and received detail response to my questions in addition to instructions for the install.
Turned out to be a breeze, no problems whatsoever.
Thanks to everyone at etrailer. Awesome
Fitment was perfect on a 2004 Porsche Cayenne Turbo. The bolts provided did not fit (wrong thread size), but the OEM bolts were fine. The bumper cover required trimming, I used a die-cutter air tool. The finished product came out looking extremely clean, like a factory fit... and was significantly more affordable than the OEM Porsche hitch.
Very good product but the fit wasn't perfect. It bolted up no issues, and installation was pretty much like the video. However when putting the bumper cover back on the 2" hitch receiver hits the fascia a bit. That made it very difficult to re-screw in the lower 4 bolts of the bumper fascia without bending the metal support (sheet metal) that the lower fascia bolts back into.
Not only is this hitch a great product, etrailer.com is a great company. I work in customer support and I must say this is the best customer support I have ever seen. I ordered this hitch Friday night and it shipped Saturday. I received an email from etrailer.com literally an hour after the hitch arrived with a link to an installation video which made installation a breeze. The video was very detailed. Do not hesitate to order any of your towing products from this company.
Thank you etrailer.com,

Great Hitch, fit perfectly as advertised. Did it at night with my friend and it took us 2 hours to install . Perhaps in the light of day it would have been easier. Instructions need to be updated as there were screws we and nuts that we ended up figuring out ourselves. Better instructions would have allowed us to install even faster because part of the time was spend looking for the reason bumper wasn't coming off.
Can't wait to use my newly installed hitch. Thanks etrailer.com!!!
I installed the unit on my 2012 Audi Q7 TDI - with Regards to the Trailer Hitch itself = A+. If you plan to install this yourself - pay attention to the 10 out of 10 on the difficulty scale when given the lack of details within the instructions. It took me a good 4 hours to complete, as I kept second guessing the basic instructions provided and searched the blog/youtube etc.. for needed details. The Q7 has 4 screws within each wheel well and 4- 10mm nuts that need to be removed from within the spare tire well. Once all these are removed you have to be very aggressive in order to pull away the Fascia from its wheel well clips/retainers. You must pull away from the vehicle (out to the side with a loud POP) and then towards the rear. There is a plastic support that holds the Fascia to the vehicle at the rear of the wheel wells - the bumper Fascia both clips in and has the screws attached that get removed -it is a tight fit and you cant be gentle. This is where a second pair of hands will help - the wiring harnesses (3 in total -rt side of vehicle) need to be disconnected while you hold the Fascia in the air - not quite long enough to set on ground without pulling things too tight. After the Bumper Fascia "Pops" off - everything is clear from then on.
I then trimmed the Access door/plate with a Dremel and Grinder to fill in all of the extra space (see Picture) - take your time with this = measure twice and cut once because you are on your own as there is no stencil provided.
Warning - The Curt Hitch Receiver does not replace the original/allow for the use of the original Audi Tow eye tool to be used. The tow eye access caps become useless - there are the 2 cap/flaps in the bumper.
Installed this on my 2008 Porsche Cayenne build. Works as intended!
Everything went great. From ordering to installation. The videos were extremely helpful. Knowing what tools I needed made install go smooth. It only took me 2 hours by myself to install.

This product is still the best purchase ever for my vehicle. People ask about it all the time and I tell them that I purchased it from etrailer and even installed it myself after watching the video on etrailers site. Even my auto dealer complimented my hitch even though I didnt purchase from them. Ive connected a simple bike rack to a more sturdier bike rack to haul 4 bikes. Love this hitch.
The YouTube video from etrailer was great, it help me put my hitch on the Audi without no background on mechanic with the help of my 12 years son. I plan to use it for the bike rack
Thank you guys for the product
Installation is pretty straight forward and easy. It took me around 3 hours to complete the whole installation. It could have been a lot less if I had electric or pneumatic tools.
Didn't fit properly once rear bumper facia was installed.

I know that when reinstalling the foam pad that was on top of the bumper beam you will need to trim it as it can push up on the plastic of the bumper if not trimmed. Was this the location you were having trouble with or was it elsewhere?
I’m very pleased with the hitch. I was able to install it on my Q7 in about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, and found the installation instructions to be very straightforward. The trickiest part was removing the bumper cover, so I just took my time and followed the instructions carefully. So far, so good.
Took me half a day to install, but I'm in no hurry. The cutout for the plastic fascia on my 2005 Porsche Cayenne needed to be 4 x 8 inches.
I ordered this Curt hitch for the mighty Touareg (2010 V6 gasser). Shipping & delivery were great. I took an afternoon to install it using the great directions from Curt and from etrailer.com. The hitch is exactly what you expect, looks great, and doesn't stick out too far from the Touareg. We've used it for our 4-bike Hollywood rack (also bought here on etrailer) and it's been awesome!
Your rep was polite and very helpful on the phone. Follow through was as promised and gratefully appreciated. I will recommend your company and post in kind to my social media likewise.
Nicely made and heavy duty. But pushing the bumper up like 1/4 inch. So make a dent on the bumper.
And a chain hookup is to deep. And sticking out on the side like big ears. So hard to mount the wiring harness.
Bottom line. It is BAD design.
I end to buy a use oem.
2005 Porsche Cayenne S - Easy bolt on solution, did it in 2 hours, nothing particularly tricky.. used a cutting wheel on the plastic to trim around hitch area while the bumper was off. other than that, it was totally straight forward. instructions are adequate, shipping was fast, and most importantly, i save $2200 by not taking it to the dealer. what a joke what they try to to charge.
