This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.Rather simple to install. There a [online] video for explicit direction. It’s a good assist assistant. Plan to use this for my mtb and my moto, and possibly even a small trailer...
Keith - 04/26/2022 Keith - 04/26/2022Installed on a 2017 Subaru Crosstrek. From start to finish, it took under an hour by myself. Build quality is great and looks very good on the car. etrailer got the hitch from their warehouse to my front door in 3 days! Fair price and efficient company. Definitely will recommend.
Very high quality product. Very straightforward instructions. The fish wire method for the mounting bolts was perfect. The wiring harness was easy and worked perfectly. Highly recommend product.
They expect you to widen the hole in the frame of your car to install this. Yeah that’s right, by design the supplied parts do not fit your car. It’s 2021 and that’s the best these morons could come up with. 30 minute install time is not even close. Do not buy unless you plan on having someone install it for you.
Heather A - 04/19/2021Ordered the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver and Curt T-connector vehicle wiring harness for my Subaru Crosstrek. Everything was received in a timely manner and installation was easy. The videos that are available for both products were spot on and made the installation process extremely easy. Only issue I had was the welding on the frame made the back screws harder to install but other than that everything went well. Great customer service at etrailer.com.
The trailer hitch was extremely easy to install, the instructions were simple. I'm a girly girl and was able to install this hitch.Great price and the hitch came to us incredibly fast. We got emails prior to the receipt and after delivery. Great customer service. I would not hesitate to order from these guys again. Product very well made. Ready to take this on the road.
The hitch is good quality and works well. But in hindsight, it wasn't good value, since I had to pay someone to install it. It was too heavy to do myself and I didn't have the tools. It would have been more convenient and cheaper overall to just go to a local [online] to get a hitch installed.
Jenny N - 11/24/2021O my god ,this hitch is a tank what a well built trailer hitch. At first I was wondering how I was gonna install it since I don't have a lift so I put it on my face and lifted it into place. "Perfect" and o man those wire leaders for feeding the the 1\2 inch and 7\16 bolts "wow man" fantastic could not have installed it without them..
Thanks man
Your on my Christmas card list. : )
I have had this trailer on my Crosstrek for over a year. I have had no problems with it. However, I will say just as a piece of advice...the bolt can strip if you use a drill too often to tighten down the bike rack I've been using on it. Just use you arm and elbow grease, it will be tight enough.
High quality hitch I just installed on a Subaru Crosstrek 2017. I followed all the instructions and viewed install videos. My only suggestion.... small one.... in the 2016 install video, it shows the fishwire kept on the driver side bolts, which I did while I struggled with getting the passenger side nuts on the bolts. This proved to be very helpful in preventing the driver side bolts getting accidentally pushed into the frame. The 2017 video does not show this and the guy uses an pneumatic die grinder. I used a Dremel with a stone wheel that did the job very nicely. Rust-oleum paint on the bare metal. I purchased a 1/2" torque wrench for this install.... wow!... glad I had it, but my arms are a bit sore now. After that experience, I hope others realize that just a ratchet and socket are not going to be enough. The hitch is solid in place and I'm very happy with the purchase.
Peter i - 07/16/2018Hitch fit well with good instructions and the wires supplied to hold bolts thru frame were alot of help. Took a rear end collision shortly after installing with a bike rack on. I'm sure Subaru would have been totaled without hitch and rack on it.
The piece was easy to install and exactly what was needed. I used the recommendation system on this site to figure out which hitch I required and it was spot on.
This hitch is prefect for our Subaru Crosstrek. It looks nicely centered, the workmanship of the product is excellent, and strength is awesome (more than what we need for our bike rack etc.) The video instruction and the bolt fishing tool made the job easy. I did it by myself, no lift to hold the hitch up etc. and took me about 1/2 hour, taking my time. And I am not very coordinated. I did let the exhaust pipe hold up one end of the hitch while I fished the bolt and attached the nut on one side.
Tom - 08/27/2019Great quality trailer hitch receiver! The installation was easy and the tool provided for pulling the bolts through was brilliant!!! The best part was the videos to help with the installation. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Project took 30min from emptying box contents to locking up the car. If I took pictures, they would have looked exactly like the videos that were provided in my email.
Stuart - 08/22/2021Installation was quick and easy for the most part. Tightening of the bolts on the muffler side was a bit of a problem put not too difficult. The hitch is fine and looks good. Top marks.
Fit's perfect, grateful that the fish wire was included and easily installed! Steve was extremely helpful and friendly!
Great trailer for my Subaru cross trek. Easy to order, install, and perfect with my 1up bike trailer.
This hitch is great! I use it on a Subaru Xbox crosstrek. Was simple to install I did it myself. I mainly use it for a hitch bicycle rack but I have pulled a small [rental] trailer. I will definitely be a repeat etrailer customer for my future cars.
Emily D - 04/24/2018Very easy to install. Instructions were ok but the install videos by etrailer were very straightforward and eliminated any guess work. Once everything was unboxed and ready to install it only took about 20 minutes to complete.
Very pleased with this purchase. Item was shipped and received very quickly. Easy install. Some of the videos show the technicians dropping the exhaust system- this is not necessary for this hitch receiver. The only modification that needed to be done is the widening of one of the holes on the car frame. I did this with a $7 round file from the home depot. I'd also recommend having a second hand to hold the hitch receiver in place while you bolt it in- it weighs around 35lbs.
Great trailer hitch. Just recently pulled a hiker trails camper behind a Subaru with it. Worked great. Looks pretty low profile too.
I've put a hitch on an SUV before but it bolted into threaded holes. I had just purchased a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek and wanted a hitch to give me towing/carrying options. I liked the look of this class 3 hitch. I was a bit hesitant on the fish wire process you use to get the bolts and plates setup. I took a few minutes and watched the install video Easy-peasy! If you've got the tools they list on the install instruction you're good to go.
I got the wrong hitch. It sits too low for my car.
Hitch was delivered as described. All parts were there and no problems. Very Good instructions to install it yourself. I would recommend having another person with you to help lift the hitch if your installing it yourself. I used my floor jack which helped get the hitch in position for the four bolts. Good video for this installation on my Subaru Crosstrex made all the difference. The biggest thing would be leveling the hitch front to back in my opinion.
Excellent product. It would have been more helpful if the curt install video mentioned the two sizes of plates and bolts. It is extremely difficult to get the bolts out once put in
