This Curt Class III hitch receiver has a 2" x 2" opening and is rated for 2,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight. It’s strong enough for light to moderate towing and steady hauling. Use it to pull a small utility trailer, tow a fishing boat, or mount a bike rack or cargo carrier. Its sturdy, square-tube design and precision, robotic welds give you solid performance every time you hit the road.
You can bolt this hitch directly to the frame without any welding. Everything lines up cleanly for a straightforward install using common garage tools. The fit is engineered for the vehicle, so there’s no need to modify or fight with misaligned holes. Once in place, the concealed cross tube keeps things tucked up and out of sight while still giving you full utility from the receiver.
The gloss black powder coat finish sits on top of a protective base coat for superior rust resistance. This layered finish helps the hitch stand up to road salt, rain, and grime while keeping it looking clean under the bumper. You get durability that lasts through daily use and weather changes without worrying about corrosion or flaking over time.

Ratings & Reviews
After a year mounted, hinch is working as expected. I had a minor point to share, which may help other owner. About 6 or 8 month after installed and many trips using my Thule bike rack, we noticed minimal squicking noise when hitting some road surface bump (ebike shakes ), however, I just got down and checked bolts torque. It seemed to have help.
With rack but no bikes, no noise at all.
Nevertheless, I highly recommend this product. I shouldn't forget to mention how easy was to install it
As a repeat customer I have to say I was disappointed this particular piece was bent when I received it although my son managed to get it to work but I think when shipping it should be checked closely
Printed installation manual is not clear, but youtube video is great. Very helpful. You need two people to install it at AWD version
The hitch is an excellent quality and the assembly/attachment time took under an hour. Really happy with the results!
Perfect fit. The product arrived in a timely manner and it is extremely sturdy. If you need a hitch for a VW, this is the way to go.
Super easy install. I opted to grind down the edge of the bolts rather than expand the frame holes and it worked great. Etrailer video reviews and installs made this a no brainer.
Fairly easy install. The video is excellent and I referenced it frequently. Looks like it came with the car.
The receiver was a relatively easy installation and has worked excellently.
Looks good. Fits perfectly. Instructions and video were spot on. Did it by myself so it took longer than 20 mins. About 45 mins.
Hitch looks very nice, and the install was very easy! I will note that the instructions state that you need a T10 Torx for 2 of the plastic clips, but they were T15 on the 2024 Taos I installed this on. Everything else was just like the instructions said.
Sara was very helpful and easy to talk with. I received the hitch and is on my Taos.
I will say that the unit I received had the end flanges bent to the point where they were off by more than an inch. I had to use a hammer to bend the flanges into a more 90-degree angle instead of the 70/80-degree angle they were in.
Once the bolts lined up it fit perfectly and was very fast to install.
I believe I just received a lemon as I have had trailer hitches on every car I have had since I was 16, and this is the first one that I have had issues with.
bought this so I can carry 2 ebikes on a bike rack. Fast shipping and had it installed at a local shop after watching the etrailer video. Installation by the pros took less than an hour and looks fantastic! Loved the detailed description and matched to my make, model, year tool. I'll be using and recommending etrailer!
The hitch receiver itself arrived in good shape and looks solid, so that would tend to lead to a 5 star review, but the instructions were decidedly incomplete, or maybe misleading would be a better word. On my Taos, 2024 base model, the small screws were T15 not T10. I had the proper tools however, but that didn't help as the screws are plastic and the head of one stripped as soon as I tried to turn it. I had to grind it off. The T25 screws came out easily. After that it was all downhill. There are 3 fasteners at the edge of the trunk pan closest to the exhaust, no mention of them in the written instructions or in the video. I could loosen them but could not get that edge of the pan to come free. I gave up and contacted my regular auto repair shop to arrange to have the hitch installed there next week. I'm assuming that those folks will be able to remove the trunk pan and that the remainder of the installation will proceed as expected.
customer Service is not reaching out on concerns I left several messages
The hitch itself was as advertised and the instructions were spot on. Didn’t take me that long to install but that being said I’ve also installed one from E-Trailer as well for a Jetta Sportwagen that was the same way to mount.
The box showed up quicker than expected but I think it would help you guys out with claims to put some sort of foam or packing in the box. The box had 3 holes in it from the product breaking through it. Fortunately the hitch was not damaged but had it spent anymore time with the shipping company that would have not been the case. Also while it’s not the end of the world a quick review of my order by a product specialist would have noticed that I ordered a hitch pin lock kit along with a Hollywood fat tire bike rack that actually comes with its own locking pin. This is a small thing that when goes noticed is an appreciated customer service action. Just my $.02 as I also run an online accessory business that this same thing happens. Still I feel the 5 stars is deserved as all the products work as advertised and the instructions are concise and clear. Thanks E-Trailer! I’ll be back soon for a setup I need on another vehicle as well.
Great hitch, easy install and fast deli very!
Went together fairly easy with the instructions for my 2024 VW Taos. Ordered and delivered within 30 hours so that was impressive!
Installation is pretty easy. Everything went according to the tutorial video.The only exception is that I had a skirt that was covering the frame bolt holes on the passenger side. It took about 2 hours and is absolutely worth it! E-trailers did a great job for me of this project, from fast shipping to detailed vehicle specific tutorials. They did an awesome job.
Looks great. Fit excellent and all service, shipping and packaging was great!

When I opened the box I could immediately tell this was a quality product. Unfortunately during installation I came across some issues with the hitch receiver. The driver side mounts were off from aligning with the bolts by at least a half inch if not more. At first I thought I'd received the wrong hitch. I pulled the hitch out from under the Car and noticed the driver side bracket was bent inward. Luckily I was able to straighten the bracket out and go for round two of installation. I still had to persuade the bracket quite a bit but was finally able to get it to align with the bolts. I did find a bit of surface rust on the driver side bracket as well. Understandably metal will rust but a bit disappointing to see on a new hitch. On a good note, the installation video provided online by etrailer was excellent, and very helpful. The packaging was very durable, and the hardware is a very high grade. Overall I would recommend this product but I would give the brackets a good look before installation, maybe even measure the distance from driver and passenger side mounting bolts to see if it matches the hitch receivers mounting bracket distance. It my save you a bit of frustration.

Sometimes when the hitches are shipped to us, the side brackets will get knocked out of alignment. We do have a FAQ that helps when this happens. I do recommend touch up the hitch with a rust resistant paint like Rustoleum.

Service was outstanding, product showed up in great time, looking forward to having it installed tomorrow
Great product! Packaging on the products was well done. Instructions were spot on. The hitch and electrical wiring were easy to install. I did everything with no help.
I am 62 years old. If I can do it, anyone else can do it too.
The only recommendation: Making the illustrations in color.
AA++++
It fit well with just having to cut a notch in the bumper cover which I knew about. It gives me a great way to haul my bicycle around.

Ive recently sold the car but it worked well the entire time I had the car. Def would recommend it for the VW Taos.
Great product, only fault was the bolt heads were slightly too big to be fed through the frame holes on my car. Does not seem like the kind of thing that would have changed with various models so not sure. All the other aspects of installation and instructions were well done. Very happy to see the inclusion of clever “fishing wires” to feed in the bolts and a guide on exact measurements for cutting the plastic bumper. Clear explanations and pictures. I had to grind down the bolt heads with an angle grinder to make it work, so knocked off a star for that but it is clearly a well designed and made product and the inclusion of hardware and installation instructions was key.
