Quick shipping. No problems whatsoever. Installed just like the directions said.

I was very happy with the delivery and the product. In my opinion it was a much better value than others I had compared it to locally.



by:
2000 Buick LeSabre

Everything fit well and the videos were very helpful. The only issue I ran into was the muffler was directly under the position for drilling one of the holes. It took me longer to lower and move the exhaust then the rest of the project combined. The end result was great.

Product very good, Instructions a little unclear. Very happy with service from etrailer. This was my second purchase.

The Hitch went on as described on my LeSabre. The videos helped immensely with getting it attached as well as hooking up the electrical.

very nice. just make sure you have all the right stuff to install it first. you may have to order the drill bit. they didnt have one at any store near me. I used 15/32 drill bit instead of 17/32 as they said. then i just worked the bit in and out until the bolt fit right. other than that it wasnt to bad to install

The Curt Trailer Hitch Reciever with Drawbar was as advertised.
It has plenty of heft and the web site gave very good assistance
for installation. Was pleased with the speed of sending it.

Thanks for the great service and good pricing etrailer.

Arrived quickly, hitch had tore through the box, finish was scuffed up in one spot. Installation wasn't bad, video tip on cleaning out threads on car was a life saver.

I recieved the product in less time than I had anticipated and was very satisfied with the product. Based on my somewhat limited search this was an excellent value for the product and the quality was very good. The instructions for installation were accurate and all in all I am very pleased that I purchased this trailer hitch through etrailer. I will definitely `check etrailer for similar products if I have future need for products you handle.

Shipping was fast. Product quality was impressive. Installation was "tricky" when it came to using the fishwire, but I finally got the hang of it. Pleased with my purchase.

I remain happy with my trailer hitch purchase.



by:

The hitch itself is an excellent product. Solid, well built and finished very nice. However, if you do not have a lift, it is NOT a one hour job for the do it yourselfer. I have years of mechanic experience and I got frustrated installing it. I did get it done and it looks great but it took me three hours.

  • Availability of Class III Hitch for 2001 Buick LeSabre
    A Class II hitch like the # C12044 is going to be the only option for your 2001 Buick LeSabre. Most cars only have a Class I or Class II hitch available since they aren't typically used for towing. If you really want a higher rated hitch with a 2" receiver you would have to take the # E17 to a fabricator. They would be able to take the receiver and fashion a custom hitch for your vehicle.

  • Trailer Hitch Classes Available for a 2003 Buick LeSabre

Curt hitch # C12044 has the highest tongue weight capacity of the options at 350 pounds. But Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such as a bike rack or cargo carrier) per their warranty requirements. All of the hitches are rated for 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight. If you have a 2 inch accessory you want...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendations for a 2008 Buick Lucerne Base Model, Special Edition, or Super
    In order to determine if your 2008 Buick Lucerne is a standard model CXL or a special edition, there are a couple of things you can do. If the driver seat is a power memory seat that remembers your settings and your tires are size 245/50R18, then you have a special edition. But the definitive way to determine the trim level of your Lucerne is to contact a local dealer and have them run the VIN number of the car and they will be able to tell you for sure which one you have.

  • What Is The Distance Of The Pin Location From The End Of The Receiver # C12044 On A Buick Lucerne
    The Curt Trailer Hitch # C12044 Per the manufacturer, the distance from the pin location to the end of the receiver tube is 2 inches and is confirmed to fit your 2006 Buick Lucerne.

    I do have a hitch option for your 2008 Buick Lucerne to transport a 500lb electric wheelchair, but it will require a trailer as your vehicle is not rated for the amount tongue weight that a carrier would have.

  • Trailer Hitch Fit for 2000 Pontiac Bonneville
    The Curt # C13900 multi-fit hitch is a fit for full sized trucks and SUV's as well as some compact trucks and vans, and therefore wouldn't be a good fit for your 2000 Pontiac Bonneville. I'd recommend going with a custom fit hitch like part # C12044 which is a fit for all 2000 Pontiac Bonneville models except for the SLE. If you have a SLE model, use the Draw-Tite # 36309 hitch. If you'll be using the hitch for light duty towing, you'll also need a ball mount like # 36063. For a trailer...
