This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.Completed my installation. Took about 3 hours, but that was mostly because I was stopping to look at the video each step of the way. Completed by myself with no help. Used jack stands to help hold the hitch up while bolting the first side. Messed up on one spot, but I just misunderstood which speeder nut stud needed pulled off with the pliers. Got it figured out after I pulled off the wrong ones, but definitely my fault. Attention to detail :). Looks really good, also installed the trailer cable. I’ll be towing a trailer about 2,000 pounds next month for my move to CA from TX (13 hour drive). My 2021 Acadia (V6) doesn’t have the equipped package with the upgraded radiator and what not, but hoping it should still work out. Dealership has no clue what to tell me lol.
The trailer hitch was too long for our 2019 Acadia. We had to pay an installer $150 to take the exhaust off only to find out it was the wrong hitch. VERY DISAPPOINTED! Please let us know shipping and tracking information on replacement hitch that was to be sent out 3/24/2002. We are anxiously awaiting it so we can leave on vacation.
Installed this on a 2017 GMC Acadia SLT-1. Instructions were spot on. Required cutting heat shield and trimming some caulking, but well worth it for a safe & proper fit. Not hard at all. Tin snips and a pocket knife. The fish-wire makes installation a breeze and I was able to put the washer and bolt on through the end of the frame instead of the minute "access" hole. Two sets of hands would make lifting this into place and holding it there much easier, but can be done with some blocking while finger tightening the nuts. There is enough clearance to install without jacking, but I just backed up my oil change ramps for lots of extra room. Took about 2 hours from box opening to turning the light off in the garage.
For our 2019 Acadia, this was a toss-up between this hitch receiver and the other one. In the end, the deciding factor was ease-of-install. I won't say this install ended up being easy, but one person can do it (use a jack to get it close and feed the fishwire for each bolt through the accompanying hole in the receiver, so you don't lose the bolt in the frame as you jack it up). Big tip: the instructions state to scrape off excess caulk on the frame...spend the time to mock up exactly where the receiver will go on the body, then use a sharpie to mark what sections of the caulk to remove. Getting the frame prepped for proper installation of the receiver took the most time. Other than that, it's a pretty straightforward job and the receiver fits snugly just under the bumper. No trimming required. Perfect!
Perfect fit. Rock solid. Local mechanic installed and said was easy.
I installed this Curt Custom Fit Receiver to my 2022 GMC Acadia. The fit was extremely tight when trying to line of the bolts. I had to start and tighten the back two bolts (Towards the front of vehicle) on both sides in order to get the third bolt (at back of vehicle) started. Other than that, it went well with the assistance videos from etrailer.com.
This hitch has great build quality and was easy to install. I recommend it.
Fit in well on the 2021 Acadia. Make sure any caulk or tin from heat shield is REALLY out of the way. Every ounce of space makes a difference for getting hitch into place. If at all possible hold hitch in place to mark where heat shield needs to be trimmed. The wire bolt pulls worked GREAT. Videos online by etrailer are big help. I installed alone, yes help from a friend is BETTER than my floor jack. 1.5 hours on this. I would recommend etrailer to a friend.
Approximately a year ago I ordered a receiver and luggage rack for my GMC Acadia. We have used them on two trips, and they have worked great. Installation wasn't difficult. I would highly recommend this product.
Shipped earlier than expected! Great packaging! Easy and quick install and instructions! Less than 45 minutes, start to finish! Highly recommended!
Hitch Fit as stated,it went together well. Son in law and I put it on in about 1 1/2 hr on a blacktop driveway. We were pleased an it was a good project with money saved. Also wire harness for trailer was very easy plug in route. Lights even worked correctly haha. Nice. Money saving.
Received parts quick and packed very nicely as always. The fishwife for the bolts was sweet. Definitely have to drop the exhaust down. Worst part is taking the heat shields off to trim. Only had to trim plastic cover a little with a razor. Turned out nice.
Hitch fit great and came with everything needed to install it, including very easy to understand instructions
Great fit. Easy install. Trim out the cover and it’s barely noticeable when not in use.
The body shop owner and myself watched the how to install video. We took down the exhaust as indicated on the video, the hitch did not fit as indicated. We had to grind the egg shaped holes larger, in order to make the hitch fit. The installation took 4 hours and two men working.
Looked great, installed on my grandmothers car. It was used once before she ran the car into the back of a semi.
It fit perfect and worked just like all of my Curt hitches that I have purchased from etrailer. I don't shop any place else for any of my trailer or towing needs. As far as I can tell some things I might have to give a couple of cents more for but they make up for it in their customer service. Erika and George are the greatest and are always eager to help me out if I need it. I will and do, highly recommend etrailer to any one looking to get a fair deal on trailer parts and accessories. It's a shame that the GMC ACADIA doesn't have the power it needs to tow anything bigger than the mother-in-law though The one complaint I have is that there is no place to mount the vehicle electrical plug without using a little Micky mouse bracket...
Hitch works great, somewhat easy to install but instructions on how to trim heat shields isn't correct on measurements.
Pretty solid product! I received it very quickly, then I followed instructions from their video online, and it made it pretty painless. I installed it by myself which was a little difficult, especially considering the weight of this thing, but within a couple hours, I had it installed perfectly. It hauls my trailer perfectly with no give whatsoever and I highly recommend this product!
The hitch looks great out of the box. Primary use will be transporting bikes. Bolt holes lined up perfectly with frame holes on 2020 GMC Acadia but the cut out section of the rear bumper cover either should be removed or trimmed. I trimmed. The hitch receiver was not below as advertised. The hitch is actually almost completely concealed except the receiver opening. I purchased the hitch cover also but can’t use it unless I cut away more of the bumper cover cut-out.
Followed instructions on video and did it by myself until it came time to lift the hitch up. Very easy instructions, perfect fit!
Went on as instructed. Had single exhaust so was easier than expected. Great Product
Have used your hitch and wiring harness for a year now with absolutely no problems easy installation
everything I have purchased from etrailer has gone as stated. the last purchase was a receiver hitch and was easy to install. it will my life a lot easier when pulling or hauling different item with it. I don't know if I should say this but don't know why not the people you talk to, to make sure that I get the right one for my cars are excellent, could not be happier with them . I don't wright reviews for much of anything but these people are very good and the prducts are very good.
I primarily use the hitch for my bike rack and it works well.
