The unit came in great speed and quality of parts are good,

The instructions were great except for the cut dimensions. After watching the installation video it explained that I should follow the cut dimensions and I did. The big bottom trim did not fit and had to do additional cuts to make it fit. I am grateful that there are other reviews on this page that allowed me to get the correct insight. After that minor hiccup I placed the last panel that I cut to the dimensions to fit the hitch and the hole was way too wide and not tall enough to fit. I will end up trying to make them all even and use some sort of trim to make the hole less giant but still disappointed with the final fit and finish. It should function properly but I’m kicking myself that I didn’t do my own measurements and cuts to fit better



by:
2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport

Like many before me have said: the hitch is great, but it does not fit all 2016 Discovery Sport models - even though the website confirmed it would fit. The problem is the arches in the under panel that go around the tailpipes. The tube of the hitch is too wide to fit within the plastic arches. I hope etrailer.com creates a cut out template for future customers for this particular issue as it took a long time to figure out and it still is not an ideal fit.

2016 Dodge Journey

Had been looking for a hitch to mount a bike rack for a long time. This design was excellent in that nothing is visible but the receiver portion. The hitch itself is excellent. The instructions and fit did not match the vehicle, a 2016 Land River Discovery Sport HSE. The frame mounting holes aligned perfectly. The problem was after mounting the hitch. The under body panel trim would not fit over the hitch frame on the end plates See pics). It took some time using a die grinder to remove enough material so the trim would fit flush and allow the fasteners to grip. Other issues were the trim templates were not representative of my vehicle. My underbody panel required no trim in the middle.....it cleared the receiver by a long shot. On the lower bumper facia the instructions stated cutting a 3” section out and that was not enough.....3 1/2” was required. . The level of difficulty was considerably higher than described due to the body panel fitment issues. The end results were great, the journey was long and difficult.

2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport

First, the trailer hitch was great quality. Shipping was smooth. And the online installation video was super helpful. But installation was such a headache. I have a 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport HSE. Like others in the reviews that have HSEs, the under body trim is not the same as that shown in the video. The hitch is about 2” too wide. The trim was hung up in multiple places when reinstalling. I used a dremel to make all sorts of cuts to the trim to make it fit. Luckily most cuts are hidden under the car but it made what would have been an easy install take hours. I would suggest making a note on the page about HSE models or designing another hitch to fit this model.



by:

Install gone wrong. I paid my mechanic to do this install and now it’s going to cost me over $xxx to fix the cosmetic damage. He insists that he followed the instructions and even spoke to the manufacturer for install tips.

This is not the correct way to trim the fascia per the instructions on page 3 step 6 which shows a photo of a 3 inch by 3 and 5 eighths inch square cut out.



by:
2019 Land Rover Discovery II

Installation went well on my 2019 Discovery Sport HSE. Took about 6 hours. Would have been a lot less trimming if the round crossbar was about 1 and a half inches shorter in length, but the finished product looks great. Thanks,

Heavy duty. Awesome service and shipping. Ordered hitch on Monday and it showed up on Wednesday. This is no little feat for Montana. Usually takes at least a week or so for anything to show up.



by:

I installed the hitch and it bolted together no problem but I tried to attach the dust cover after trimming it correctly but the trailer hitch was to wide and wouldn’t allow room for it. I cut it up more trying to make it work and ended up ruining the dust cover and throwing it away… good product but bad fit.

You mentioned that you were not able to reattach the dust cover and I wanted to confirm that by dust cover you mean the under-body panel?

shipment arrived safely within reasonable time
thanks

Works great. No problems and no rust.



by:

Easy Install and works well. The hitch post does stick out further from the car than necessary (and from what the website photos showed), it would have been better 1" recessed.

We are a hitch install shop that specializes in all things towing and this hitch was installed multiple times over the last year, this is by far the cleanest looking hitch with an enamel that will protect it from harsh Minnesota salt. Best option for any customer looking to have a concealed hitch on Land Rover

  • Available Trailer Hitches and Wiring for 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport HSE w/ 5+2 seating
    Unfortunately there is not a hitch we carry that is compatible with the 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport HSE with the 5+2 seating. From what I was able to find out, the models with the 5+2 seating have a slightly larger frame, so the available hitches do not properly fit. You may need to reach out to your local Land Rover dealer to find a solution for this, as it's likely something that was fabricated specially for these vehicles. If you are able to source a hitch through the dealer, you...

  • Trimming Needed to Install Trailer Hitch On 2015 Land Rover Discover Sport
    There is trimming required to install the Curt hitch part # C13396 that you referenced. I attached a picture that I took from the install instructions that shows where the trimming is required. The Curt trailer wiring kit part # C56297 is a confirmed fit and the kit to use. It does require running the power wire up the battery which I would do through the exterior of the vehicle as that will be much easier than getting the wiring into the interior of the vehicle, concealed behind interior...

    The Curt # C13396 is designed for a 2015 - 2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport. The hitch mounting flanges taper inboard from rear to front at roughly a 7° angle. The mounting holes closest to the receiver tube at the back of the vehicle are 44.780 inches apart on center, the center set of holes is 44.173 inches apart center to center and the holes closest to the front of the vehicle are 43.72 inches apart center to center as shown in the provided photo.

  • Why is No Hitch Offered for the 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport with 3rd Row Seating
    I am sorry but that is correct; the only hitch made for the 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport is the Curt Class III model # C13396 which only fits models without the 5+2 (3rd row) seating feature. The reason is that the underside structure of this vehicle version blocks the frame access necessary to mount a hitch on the Discovery. On any vehicle there is only one suitable place to bolt on a hitch and in the case of the version with the 5+2 seating that location is inaccessible. I realize...

  • Does the Exhaust of a 2016 Land Rover Discover Sport Get Lowered for Hitch Install
    When you install the Curt hitch part # C13396 on your 2016 Land Rover Discover Sport the exhaust will not end up lower than before the install. The exhaust will stay in the same place. The picture you have found in the instructions shows the exhaust lowered, but that is not how it would look when installed. During the install process of the hitch the exhaust will get temporarily lowered so that the hitch can fit into place. It will go back to where it belongs though.

  • Trimming Required to Install Curt 2-Inch Hitch C13396 on 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport
    Curt 2-inch hitch # C13396 is a confirmed fit on the 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport without the 5+2 seating feature. This hitch installation will require trimming of both the underbody panel and lower fascia. There can be some variance in the exact fit of these trim components on the vehicle and this means that there can also be some slight variance in the amount of trimming required. Curt's instructions, which are linked for you, recommend trimming out a section of the bumper fascia...

  • How Does Exhaust Lower on a 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport for Hitch Install
    We don't have a video install of the # C13396 yet to share, but if you check out the install instructions that I attached you will see each step of the process walked through with pictures and description. Basically you will just need to remove all of the isolators that hold the exhaust in place under the vehicle and it will be allowed to lower slightly. To reinstall the exhaust would require just reversing that process.

If you have a Discovery Sport that is the 5+2 seating, there is not a hitch that is confirmed for use on that vehicle.

Then, you can add the trailer wiring harness, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56297 which is plug-in play.

From what Curt tells me, if your vehicle has a full sized spare tire it will not fit back under the vehicle once the hitch is installed.
