Thank you love the product free shipping fast shipping
i love it. clean and precise. its built better than my frame.
Didn't fit between frame as easily as you made it look in video!
Quality product and the best price after shopping a significant amount. Additionally, the video was extremely beneficial! Very PLEASED!
Yes, you guys rock.! You did what you said you were going to do.. the instructions are clear, and especially like the fact there is an actual phone number to call if you need too. Very satisfied!
Worked great had installed in less than an hour. Have to trim som plastic on the number and drill frame holes bigger with step bit to make hardware fit into frame rails but otherwise spot on bolt locations!!!!!
The website provided all kinds of useful information to make sure this was the hitch I wanted. The installation videos were great. I like the way you do business. The hitch arrived in a couple of days. Thanks!
perfect fit. easier install than I expected. fish wires worked great.
This was a relatively straightforward install on my 2021 NV200 aside from the fact that I first tried option 1 (as described in the instructions) for fishing bolts from the back and just could not get the bolt and spacer past the suspension shackle. The guy in the video made it look easy but he’s probably done it a hundred times and has the right touch. No matter how many times I tried, over a period of about an hour, the bolt and spacer just got stuck on the suspension shackle (I was lured into a sense of confidence after watching the video and with the knowledge that I am pretty good at fishing wires; the skill did not readily transfer). Then it took me another hour to get the bolt back out again to try option 2. With a titanium unibit, enlarging the secondary frame access hole and fishing from the front was way easier (I just had a standard drill; a right angle drill would have made it easier to work in that tight space). I thought I would save time with option 1 and not having to enlarge the secondary access hole but in retrospect the whole process would have been much simpler if I had begun with option 2. With this one exception, the how to video and the instructions are excellent and I was able to tackle the project with confidence despite never having installed a hitch before. I loved the fish wires that came as part of the kit that were designed to thread onto the bolts (very clever). I of course removed the spare tire before I started to have space to work under the van and get the hitch into position, but could not get the exhaust detached from the rubber isolator. I just gave up on that as there was enough play in the system to get the hitch up and over the exhaust system without fully detaching. I had to remove a small bracket used to hold wiring on the right and cut away some of the trim to expose a rear mounting hole. One other detail I had to address was my van has an aftermarket rear seat installed and the anchor bracket for that interfered slightly with the positioning for the hitch. I used a grinder to cut a small notch in the hitch so it would fit around this bracket.
The instruction pictures are terrible. I understand fishing the bolt. The other method says to enlarge a hole to 7/8. Where is this hole located. There is a picture of location but pictures are so
Pretty easy and straightforward install. I handled it alone in my carport, and it took about 3 hours, total. I didn't need to elevate the van at all, and I used basic tools, the scissor jack that came with the van as an extra hand at the end, and a dremel to enlarge the frame holes to fish the bolts through using method #2, as the process shown in the video was not possible on my '15 Chevy City Express. Enlarging the forward frame holes to fish the bolts through was the toughest part, but wasn't overly difficult, and I sprayed the holes with a little rustoleum paint I already had when I was finished to prevent rust. (Keep that in mind if you don't have any on hand.) I needed to remove one small bracket holding some wires from the frame on the passenger side, and just zip-tied the wire to the hitch in the same spot when I was done. The same wire also needed to be slightly relocated just below the rear bumper to allow the hitch to fit into place. Those two steps were not in the directions, but were obvious and very simple to take care of with 2 zip-ties. Overall, the fit of the hitch was really good, and so far it seems like a high quality piece. The paint looks good, it doesn't protrude from the rear bumper, and it is very sturdy but not excessively heavy. I am happy with the purchase and install. If you're handy and have tools don't waste your money paying a shop to put it on for you, and you don't need a lift, ramps, or jack stands.
Hitch fit my Nissan NV 200 exactly. No cutting or drilling was required to attach hitch. Ingenious method to get the mounting bolts to proper location!
I would surely recommend etrailer to anyone looking to buy a trailer hitch.
Fishing the carriage bolts in worked in 3 of the 4. The last one got stuck to the extent that I had to abandon it. Your instructional video pointed out that was the difficult part and how to proceed. It took me a while to find a replacement for the bolt because your only option to buy the full pack again didn't feel right.
Regarding the fishing. To get the bolt to where it needs to go you can go over or under the sheet spring mount. Maybe I got lucky 3 times a s the last time the fish wire got through the other path - I never know. If there is more feedback maybe there is enough data to discern why it sometimes just won't work .
It all worked out in the end, though. 6
Had a few challanges. One the directions say to drill out the existing hole for fishing the bolts. But the bolts are 1” in diameter. The other was a small problem with the width between the frame. But that can change from vehicle to vehicle!
Nearly impossible to install because it didn't fit properly. Fishing the bolts thru kept getting hung. Had to drill holes to fish them out an back in. The hitch was to wide and tight fit. Had to use a jack on blocks to press it up, it lifted the van up instead of going in place. While jacked up i beat it n place with a hammer.
Estoy muy satisfecho con este producto estético de buena calidad mejor imposible
The hitch showed up in a timely manner and I installed it immediately based on the video.
In the video, the fishing of the bolts\washers was glossed over. I ended up using a 12 gauge wire to fish around to the openings where I would tape the supplied fish wire. Also, you have to go OVER the hub for the suspension. If your wire goes under, when you fish, the bolt head won't fit. Once the bolts were all fished through, installation went easier than I would have expected.
The instructions was hard to understand, and the middle bolt was was the hardest to install because there was no explanation of how to pull the bolt guide through the frame, instead of a 1hr job took me 3-4hr but I finally figure how it works and the hitch was a super tight fit I had to use my jack to push it up to make it fit in so I can tighten it up,
Well designed product.
Items to note;
The facia needs trimming but not how the instruction say.
Mine has the bumper proximity sensors which required loosening the wires and cutting a mounting stud.
The instructions show the four frame mounting bolts being feed through the frame with the 1x3" spacers kinked on the wire. This should me more obvious...
