Box came busted and slightly opened at one end but hitch was perfectly covered. Easy install and super easy to follow and detailed instructions. Really glad Etrailer provided the wire to fish the bolt thru.



by:

Very well made hitch receiver.. Installation lined up perfectly.. Take your time and read the well made instructions step by step. Also, use a floor jack to help balance the hitch as your installing. If needed, use motorcycle tie-straps to hold up muffler.

I received my hitch today and the box is half ripped opened and I needed this in time to attach a trailer for a move that is happening. I am very stressed that some of the parts needed will not be in the box. I hope they are and that after reading this that I will get a discount for the stress about not having the right equipment or a full refund if there are parts missing. I will write another review if my concerns get addressed but thus far I am not a happy customer

First I would like to say that etrailer.com was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I was notified of the progress of my order through several emails and was never left wondering when my order would arrive.
The Curt hitch is well made and intelligently packaged to prevent damage. I watched the installation video on the etrailer.com website before I ordered so I knew what to expect. The installation was child's play; it took less than an hour.
The hitch is being used the mount a 3 bike rack. The total weight of the rack and bikes is about 100 pounds. The hitch is rock solid and has no trouble at all supporting this load.
Overall I am very happy with my purchase and installation.

1- year review. Very solid hitch. Installed on a 2016 Honda Accord. Super easy install, didn’t have to modify bolt hole like instructions said. Honda made the holes larger after 2015.



by:

Clutch!!!! Ordered from this website twice and delivery was perfect, it’s understandable when there is delays due to COVID but honestly, etrailer.com has always came through when I needed. Just to put this particular transaction into prospective, I arrived at [towing store] (bless their hearts) for my scheduled appointment and found that they didn’t have any hitches for my vehicle in stock but had already placed some on back order. Not sure if it was etrailer or one of your competitors but mine and theirs came in at the same day. Just in time for my planned trip. I had a small window to decide how I was going to move my fishing equipment for my move/fishing vacation because that’s just how we operate in the military sometimes. I can’t believe I drove 897 miles using this hitch assembled with a 5x8 trailer with approximately 500+lbs of fishing equipment with my 2017 Honda Accord sedan. It was flawless. I would imagine it’s not recommended to drive over a certain speed limit but let’s just say I wouldn’t recommend it either..again flawless, it was raining too by the way. Overall I am satisfied with my first trip and will be looking forward to utilizing this for my kayak. It would be excellent to be able to pull up at the boat ramp in a small Honda Accord and launch close to the boat ramp fully rigged for a in/out scenario. That is my goal.



by:
2017 Honda Accord

The hitch was in great condition when it arrived.
I install Hitch on my new 2017 Honda Accord.
I had no problems installing it, I watched your video, read the instruction. I was about 2.5 hours from beginning to finish using a floor jack and two jack stands. I had no assistance installing the hitch. I took a couple of breaks, but at 66 years young it was easy.

This was my second car I have installed a etrailer hitch on. Six years ago I put a etrailer hitch on a 2010 VW Jetta. The instruction have been excellent each time.

Comments
Great, I have used it at least once a month with my Cargo carrier, finish still looks like new.

The Hitch was easy to install with the exception of lowering the exhaust, which was hard for me to do, and the instructions of how to do it were not that clear. The Hitch also works as it is supposed to, however I am not sure if the stabilization strap helps, because my rack seems to sway more with the strap. I am also worried the strap could damage my trunk lid, but I guess it shouldn't.

Comments
Im looking to buy the same car you have and need to carry two bikes. Do you have a lot of sway when bikes are mounted?
-- comment by: Kurt L - 05/13/2014

I do carry 2 bikes sometimes and the only sway is due to my rack not being the sturdiest when it is pulled tight with the strap. but the sway is minimal, maybe 1/2-1 inch

2016 Honda Accord

The hitch arrived on the third day, much faster than expected. Installation on my 2016 Honda Accord was simple with the clear instructions and an online video. The hardest part of the installation was borrowing a torque wrench. Otherwise, it was a breeze.

Comments
Superior. I love it, its well hidden and works great. I just wish my vehicle had more ground clearance, but thats not the hitches issue.

I purchased the hitch for my hitch mounted bicycle rack. I was glad the hitch mounted so easily and without any problems. The directions and the video really made everything easy.

A year later the hitch works great! No issues or concerns

Product ordered arrived one day sooner than scheduled. All parts were included and the hitch fit perfectly for my bike rack. Price was $100.00 less than the manufacturer's website. Thank you etrailer!

I installed this on my 2015 Honda Accord for the purpose of pulling my small aluminum fishing boat and trailer. Works great!



by:
2014 Honda Accord

MUCH better quality than I expected for that price. Product came quickly, well packaged, with all the hardware necessary to mount with clear instructions.



by:
2016 Honda Accord

Fits beautifully and the installation instruction is spot on (minimal modification).



by:

Hitch fit perfectly and shipping was spot on time. Great product!



by:

Although the construction of the hitch is very good there is a problem with the way its constructed with respect to the welding of the hitch to the round bar to the flat mounting flanges. I don''t know if a fixture is used in the process and if there, is then it needs to be evaluated. After install it I used a hitch with an 8" length and found the bar was not level to the car. It pointed in a downward direction. I had to shim the back of the mounting flange to achieve some degree of levelness where the hitch goes. Before I did that I did check with a level to see if the car mounting surface was level to the floor and it was. After verifying that, I started with a machinist wedge and inserted it until I got a level reading. It turned out I had to shim both side 1/4". I bought several hitches from eTrailer in the past but they were made of square tubing and I had no problems. They still have the best around and will continue to buy from them.



by:
2013 Honda Accord

The hitch was shipped with care and received in excellent condition. The online installation instructions were simple and easy to understand. The hitch was well made.
Thank You.

Comments
The hitch has worked as expected. After 1 year there is no rust on any of the painted surfaces. I am very happy with it. Thank You.

2015 Honda Accord

Installed on a 2015 Accord Sport with Manual transmission to tow a trailer that holds my street motorcycle. I use it to tow my trailer for hundreds of miles to get my motorcycle to destinations with lots of curvy roads. The hitch is doing a wonderful job and this is my second one from Etrailer.com therefore I would highly recommend both the hitch and Etrailer.com.
P.S. Picture is of my first hitch also on a Honda Accord M/T.



by:

Easy install. Thanks for the video. I watched the video and read the directions, could not have been better. Right down to cutting the heat shield, just use the dimensions shown and you will be good. Took about 45 minutes to install, taking my time, and that includes jacking the rear and letting it down. Thanks etrailer again for another hitch and the support that comes with it. Saved $280 doing myself, including the harness, over what xhaul. wanted.



by:
2017 Honda Accord

Great product - highly recommended. I purchased this one for a 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring. The Touring/Hybrid comes with an additional cover that hides the driver side frame where the hitch mounts. I removed the plastic cover, took some basic measurements, and cut it to allow access for the hitch to be bolted in. I then reinstalled the plastic cover before installing the hitch. From there, just follow the standard instructions. I had to make the modification to the exhaust heat shield as depicted in the included instructions. Everything else was straight-forward. I've installed and used this same hitch on another Accord, so I know it is bullet-proof.



by:

Great hitch - High quality. Pretty easy to install with the instruction video and paper instructions both great. Well worth the purchase.

2013 Toyota Tacoma

I have a 2013 Honda Accord. I have a small 12' aluminum fishing boat with a trailer. We also have a Tacoma. When I do not have the Tacoma I can't fish, take the kids on the boat, and I can't go to the lumber yard or transfer station because I didnt have a hitch on the Accord. I did some research and saw etrailer. The website was easy to navigate, I was able to choose the right hitch for my car without guessing, and the wire harness was easy to pick out as well. I was told it would be a week for shipping, I got it in 3 days. The installation was pretty easy, take your time with fish wire, but it can be done. The light set up was all plug and play, nice and neat. I hooked up boat trailer, tested lights, and zipped around the neighborhood. Very excited to be able to pull small stuff with the Honda. The price was right, the shipping was right, the product fit like it said, and I am a happy customer!



by:
2015 Honda Accord

Quality seems good, a little tricky fishing, friendly people, fast shipping, various planned uses,. One complaint...some of the instructions sheets are poor quality prints with images the size of a postage stamp.



by:
2014 Honda Accord

Just installed this on my Accord. Took about an hour and a half. No issues with the hitch. It fit perfectly and the hitch is solid and looks great!

Received my hitch in the mail yesterday. Installed in about one hour by myself in my driveway. Directions were easy to understand and informative. I also referred to the video for my car on your website for additional help. The hitch works excellent with my bike rack. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase! The hitch is extremely sturdy and well built. I would highly recommend this hitch to anyone in search of a good quality item.

  • Trimming Of Heat Shields Required When Installing Trailer Hitch On 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid
    I checked out the installation instructions for the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C11681 that fits your 2015 Accord. Per the instructions, in step 2 the heat shields on both sides will need to be removed and trimmed to allow installation of the hitch. On page 6 of the instructions there is a trimming diagram that shows the measurements for the trimmed area on the shields. As the instructions state, one of the fasteners will not be used when re-installing the shields.

  • Anti-rattle Devices for Use With 1-1/4-Inch to 2-Inch Hitch Adapter on Curt Hitch # C11681
    Thank you for your recent purchase from etrailer.com. All of the hitches offered for your 2014 Honda Accord, including the Curt # C11681 you chose, are light-duty Class I types that have a maximum bike carrying capacity of 2 bikes - even if the carrier itself can hold 3. You might care to refer to the linked article on hitch classes. A further complication in your situation is that use of a hitch adapter - any adapter or extender - will have the unavoidable side-effect of reducing the...

  • Troubleshooting a Honda Accord Hitch Installation by a Local Shop

I've included an image from the instructions of the heat shield and the small portion that should be trimmed for your convenience as well as the part of the directions that state that the heat shield should be reinstalled after trimming.

  • Does Curt Trailer Hitch for 2016 Honda Accord Have Enough Capacity for ATV Trailer
    The Curt trailer hitch part # C11681 that you referenced has a 2,000 lb trailer weight capacity which means it would easily handle the weight of a 1,100 lb total trailer. Now I looked up the towing capacity of your 2016 Honda Accord which is rated separately from the hitch and it is only rated for towing up to 1,054 lbs so hopefully the weights you mentioned were overestimated.

This isn't uncommon for a lot of trailer hitches and Curt can't really afford to use a smaller block because it needs to be strong enough and long/wide enough to catch inside the frame.
