Fit perfectly
All items are installed.The hitch went on perfectly. Everything is working great. Thanks for all your help, especialy John for his patience and helpful instructions. You all are doing a great job, Bob
Great quality at a reasonable price. The hitch was delivered on time as promised.
yes I received it and I just got done installing it. Looks great and appreciate you and your team for a pleasant experience all around , thanks again !
very easy install, other than you need a buddy because its real heavy. wiring was a shinch.
So the hitch went up super easy. It could be easier with say, two people but I was pigheaded. Just me...and a dozen super sized zip ties. All went well to final tightening. 4 camping weekends later each bolt took minor crank down. 6 mos later bolt still tight. This Fall I may take down and repaint to protect from rust. Michigan.
Arrived super fast.
Very well-made.
Looks great. Shiny black.
All 6 bolt holes lined up with the predrilled holes in the van.
I used blue thread locker on the bolts, for extra security.
Installed on my 2009 Chevrolet Express 1500G full size cargo van, repurposed as our travel van. 30k miles in 2 years.
It was time to add towing capability. Bought the class 4 10,000 lb. model
Perfect fit. Fast response to my questions. All my future purchase plans will start here. Highly recommended!
Hitch arrived promptly and it is of high quality. Installation was really easy, pre-drilled holes fit with the frame of my 2020 Chevy Express 3500 passenger van.
I didn't lift the van in order to attach it, and since I did the installation by myself, I found a creative way to lift the hitch to the van. See attached pictures :)
My wife and I pull trailers on a regular basis. We put a lot of miles on this hitch on all types of weather. It’s held up well under harsh conditions.
I would definitely buy another one, in fact, I did.
The hitch arrived promptly, in good condition and was easy to install! We also got the wiring harness which was also so easy to install and get our storage rack lights up and running. Thanks!
This hitch installation was very simple and it fit the existing holes perfectly. Actually took us longer to set up, find the right size socket and clean up than the actual setting the 6 bolts and tightening. I have added a before and after of our new hitch. Thanks for making it so easy. Now we are ready to tow stuff.
Nice looking heavy duty hitch, rated better than the van is rated for. My only real issue was, like others have said, the plates that go in the frame are too small to prevent the bolts from turning while tightening. I had 1 or 2 that torqued all the way, the others I had to hit with with an impact. Oh, just realized my pic shows a plastic plug in the hitch, that's not included, just one that I had laying around so I popped it in.
I have purchased other Curt products before and all have fit exactly as described. Construction is high quality and accuracy/fitment is great. This hitch is downright simple to install using 6 bolts and no drilling. If you have any experience at all I expect you could install this alone in 30 minutes with not much more than a 3/4" wrench. I find it a great value, price being so economical that I canot even justify building one myself, being a full time fabricator, I could easily have done so.
Went on with no problem
Our church van needed a receiver hitch so we could use a cargo rack or pull a small trailer. This one was a perfect fit and quick to install.
Hitch was really easy to install; no drilling required.
You will need an impact wrench because the rectangular washers will spin.
Mounted up with no issues whatsoever and the etrailer.com installation videos helped tremendously. Very clean install.
Very easy to install, only took me about 15 minutes. I have never installed a hitch before and almost paid [retailer] $290 for one. After watching some videos on the install, I am glad I decided to do it myself.
Shipped on time as promised, one hole was in box but everything was there. All instructions and hardware were supplied. Installed in about one hour by myself (age 64). Instructions were complete with no surprises. This was my second Curt hitch (also Toyota T100 Pick-up, approximately 5 years old). I have used the 14090 hitch multiple times including to tow a car on tow dolly for 5-1/2 hours and a 7500 lb trailer approx. 18 hours and have had no problems. I would definitely recommend Curt and E-Trailer to friends and family.

The hitch is great. In march I purchased a double axle utility trailer, 7000 lbs gross and have used multiple times hauling farm fencing supplies, wire, posts, tractor equipment and coal with no problems. Also borrowed my sisters closed utility trailer and went from far east TN to Zion National park,Utah and back in July and have had no problems. It is a very nice addition to our custom GMC Glaval van. Also got a bike rack from my other sister which allows me to open the back doors, an added blessing. I use this hitch far more than I ever thought. A worth while investment.
The hitch arrived very quickly and it was well packaged. After removing it from the box, there were a few spots where the finish had chipped on the edges. The installation was easy and straight forward. I did have to remove my existing hitch so that took a bit of time. Another reviewer made comments about the square hole spacers not being long enough. They certainly could be longer, but I had no issues with the installation. I will say the hitch included 6 bolts, spacers and nuts, but is drilled with 8 holes, 4 per side. The two rearward holes on both sides lined up perfectly. The two forward holes do not line up with the existing holes in the frame and the instructions have you use only the most rearward of the forward holes which to line up. This works, but why provide a hitch with 8 holes drilled with two holes not in the right location and only 6 sets of hardware? Part of the reason I bought this hitch is because of the 8 holes. I believe either this hitch should be modified to fit all 8 holes and and include 8 sets of hardware, or the extra 2 holes should be removed.

The hitch held up well over the winter and the finish got chewed up on the forward edge of the crossmember last summer. I did a few thousand miles on dirtgravel. The finish as mentioned is chipped badly now. I coated it in plastidip. Well see how it holds up.
VERY EASY INSTALLATION. ..THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PROMPT DELIVERY.
The Curt hitch receiver was easy to install. Instruction that were included were easy to follow. All predrilled holes aligned making a one person install very simple. It took me 45 minutes to complete the install. Construction of the Curt hitch receiver seems to be very well made and of heavy gage steel. I am very pleased with this product. I will be using the curt receiver hitch in my business to pull an eight foot box trailer or a sixteen foot flat bed trailer.

The Curt receiver hitch is working well. Product is well made with strong welds.
My Chevy Express is a 3500 series so I needed a Class IV hitch to tow heavier loads. This hitch weighs just under 50 lbs and was almost too easy to install. Save yourself the money and install this yourself. Curt is known for manufacturing solid well built hitches. You can't go wrong with this hitch!

One year later and the hitch is as solid as ever and performs as expected on both light and heavy loads.

I bought a 2 frame trailer hitch a year ago. I installed it using blue, medium thread locker on the bolts. We just recently took a road trip and attached a rear platform carrier on the hitch for the trip. The hitch performed perfectly, is strong as heck and the finish has remained perfect with no rusting.
