This ingenious addition saves time and frustration by allowing bolts to be effortlessly fed into place, transforming what is often the most intimidating part of hitch installation into a straightforward task.

Perfect for those who want the functionality of a robust hitch without compromising on style, it tucks neatly under the bumper to avoid any awkward, protruding parts.

Took this 68 year old guy about 2 hours to install all by myself. I highly recommend having a helper to install as the instructions state. Bolted up perfectly without any modifications. Very satisfied with product and service
This Hitch is great was a breeze to install with some help from a good friend and there are no complaints here fits just a specified with no issues
I have had this for a year On My 2013 Ford Escape
Use it for taking trash to the Dump, as well as got a nice 5X8 Trailer for hauling my tractor and motorcycles and other things.....Not disappointed
Best made trailer hitch on the market today, I put this trailer hitch on myself with the video on my iPad (easy step by step instructions). Took me a couple of hours to install hitch and wiring harness. Loved how it tucked up under my Ford Escape and all you see is the receiver end of the hitch. Use it today to haul a utility trailer and boat to my favourite fishing holes. Best value for a well built hitch. Thanks e-trailers for the speedy shipping (free by the way) and great product. Have recommended your product to everyone that asked where I got the hitch from. Thanks again. I am sure your product will last longer than this vehicle, and I know I will definitely order your product on my up and coming vehicle purchases.
I'm very pleased with this product, mostly because it feels really solid. It looks like it could handle any trailer I may decide to pull with it. The product arrived promptly and without any damage.
The installation instructions were adequate and I was able to install the hitch myself, although it took a lot of strength and finesse to fit it into place over the top of the muffler. It would be good to have two people. The wires to fish the bolts into place worked brilliantly. That feature saved lots of time and effort.
I like the look of the hitch under the car, since it is very unobtrusive. My Ford Escape has a feature by which you can trip the sensor to open the rear door by putting your foot underneath the bumper. (Great for when your hands are full). Fortunately, this feature still works, even though the hitch sits directly under the sensor.
Although I may use the hitch to pull a small camper in the future, the main reason I installed it was for a bike carrier rack. I love it. See photos.
Struggled getting it above exhaust, but once in, it lined up without any problem. Its heavy so best done with help. When I re-attached the exhaust hanger, the trapped nut in the frame snapped. I was using a good torque wrench and was well under the specified torque.
Excellent service! Fast shipment and great product and accessories. Everything was provided: instruction, bolts, fish wires
So far so good. Installation was a little tough without a lift but manageable. People should be sure to have a helper when it comes to getting the hitch into place. I added some pictures with a ball attachment added. I haven't installed the trailer wiring kit yet but when I do I will write a review about that. Shipping was quick and the price was great. Thanks for your quick service and high quality products.
This worked great. Could not have done it without the helpful videos found on the site. I had to use car ramps which made it a bit more challenging to move the hitch in place but other than that, the installation was easy. One thing I found looking around was to use my impact drill/driver and a rasp bit to grind down the opening to get the bolts in. Speaking of bolts, make sure you thread those on the fish leads. Almost lost one in the frame to being lazy. Don't let that be you. Install took an hour for me with it being a little tricky to get the bolt nuts on and making sure everything was just right.
The pics are after our first road trip. I should have done this a long time ago.
Bought this for my girlfriend's car, was ready to install, but more complicated than I wanted it to be, lol. Took about 90 minutes to install by myself. Love this thing so much I bought one for my son & his girlfriend's jeep, it comes next week. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! If we ever need another hitch, this is where I'm coming back to!
Product fit well, definitely need two person for installation ease but doable solo. Maybe 1.5 hrs solo.
Well built and sturdy!

It has worked great, does what I bought it for. Well worth the price and great solid quality.
Fit like a glove. The Youtube videos are very helpful. I watched the installation videos of a few models before I decided on the hidden hitch - C13186.
As an added suggestion, my shop cut the muffler pipe then welded it back - it made the installation much easier.
P.S. Please disregard the double copy of one of the photos. The un-named one could not be removed once I uploaded it.
I purchased this hitch receiver for a 2017 Ford Escape. This was the 2nd hitch receiver that I purchased from etrailer.com (the first was eight years earlier for a 2011 Kia Soul), so I knew I could expect a great product with excellent service. The hitch arrived quickly, and installed quickly (except for enlarging the wholes in the frame... thanks, Ford) as shown in the help videos. I bought the hitch receiver to use with my bike rack, and still happy 1 year later.
Have installed hitches 30 years ago, what a pain they where. This hitch was simple!!! Enjoyed the ease with this curt hitch. I would recommend these hitches to anyone. I am 65 years old, did have my (35year) help side it in. Other than that I did the work myself in the drive way on ramps
Everything I ordered showed up in good condition. Install and videos are spot on. If you are somewhat mechanically inclined you should be able follow along and have success. Definitely need a second hand getting hitch up in place. Oh yeah the items I bought for this install was $6 cheaper than Amazon prime and basically shipped just as fast
Very happy with product, easy installation, quality product, great for DIYers. Daughter using to transport her mountain bikes. Everything they said it was. Would recommend without hesitation. Excellent customer service from Gorge. He was very knowledgeable. Plan to order other products in future.
I had this installed on my Ford Escape to haul my moped around. That's all I used it for, so it works perfect for me. Very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend any of my friends/family to order here.
The Curt Trailer Hitch was very easy to install and fit perfect! Would recommend highly. Great packaging and very fast service!
This Receiver fit perfect and very well made.
Its is great to find a company that is so good at what they do.
Integrity and Quality out standing and the install video's the best.
I installed this receiver by myself witch was difficult and awkward.
Video said it will take two people and they were right. I still got it done and turned out perfect, it took me 2 1/2 hours.
Timely shipping and good communication. Thanks again. Plan on using for bike rack but got 2 inch because may need larger receiver size in future.
What a wonderful product. It is extremely well made, fits perfectly and looks beautiful. I am so happy I chose the Curt and especially all the support from etrailer.
Great product excellent installation videos. Went in almost as easy as the video made it seem. Definitely a little on the heavy side to install alone but managed anyway.
VERY WELL MADE AND STUDY HITCH
The install was not hard. Just take your time and have a friend who is happy to crawl under the opposite side of the back of your rig. Quality is excellent. Don’t have a photo of the hitch but I have one of it in use you can kinda see the hitch
Well made, but definitely need a helper to install
