Purchased this for my 2017 Regal and had a local mechanic install it for me. Probably could have done it myself, but was not so inclined. Has worked out just fine, no complaints. I use the hitch for my Thule bike rack.
Everything in great condition. Part missing quickly replaced. Love the videos for installation.

Had to sell the car with hitch on it, have 4 others. Will get another when deciding on vehicle to use moving forward.
This custom hitch is a perfect fit on my 2015 Chevrolet Malibu LT the installation was easy and fast with only having to chase the threads on the car's unused muffler mounting brackets This hitch has had no effect on the vehicles handling The only thing to think about with the hitch is when crossing ditches or speed bump like entrances/exits as the hitch will hit the ground. Another great feature is it required no alterations to the car and is only noticeable if you look for it
I purchased this trailer hitch for my 2020 Chevrolet Impala. They said the Car is rated for 350lb tongue weight,
and 3500 lb tow capacity (same specs as the Trailer hitch).Watched a couple [online] videos before tackling the install. Backed the car up on car ramps and got started. Install was not difficult at all. I've used the hitch for pulling a small utility trailer, a bike rack for my bikes and even a 6'x12' V nose enclosed trailer. I definitely recommend this Trailer hitch.
I've had nothing but positive experiences with E-Trailer on previous purchases so on my new car I kept my business where it deserved to stay, shopping around locally I found eTrailer was actually the cheapest for the same hitch that others in my area wanted $300 for. Install was extremely simple, muffler would need to be lowered but luckily for my the factory mufflers were removed and replaced with flowmasters making install extremely simple, easy to install at home, will need an extra pair of hands to hold the hitch up till its bolted then smooth sailing, I installed this to tow my Jet Ski and already used it and didn't let me down. Highly recommended.
Product arrived seemed promising watched all the install videos the issue came when installing it myself. I was installing on a Chevy Malibu 2015. The clearance for the exhaust is terrible. You will either have to replace the exhaust hanger to account for sag from being a few years old. After getting install there was still a rattle from the rear exhaust hanger touching. Wrapping a rubber hose around the hanger easily fixed this but still annoying. I have not actually used the hitch yet but as other stated it hangs pretty low. I’ll update the review after a couple uses.
I can't say enough good things about the experience with etrailer or the product they sold me. I got the best price and free shipping within 5 days from order date (MO to SC). They even fortified the box where pressure points would be in shipping to ensure a safe and quality product was delivered. Curt makes a great product and I hope to use both etrailer and Curt in the future.
the only recommendation I will make is, if they ask what vehicle this hitch will be installed on so they are not wasting shipping weight and steel on sending two brackets for different installations when connecting to the suspension mount.
This worked great on my 2018 Impala LT and the installation instructions were pretty clear as to which bracket to use for my installation .
I also bought the MAXTOW 1.25 to 2 inch adapter with a 4.5 inch rise for my accessory (Cargo Basket). While the actual tongue weight drops to about 100 pounds (factoring in the weight of the adapter, cargo basket and extension-physics) I only intend to store bulky light weight items on the basket and free up space in the trunk for beach trips!
In a little less than 1 hour we were finished with the install, approx. 5 min. was used to unpack the hitch. Once the muffler was removed it was very easy to install the rear bolts but make sure you replace the muffler before securing the back of the hitch to the frame.
The trailer hitch will be used to carry our bikes to various trails and to the beach.
Install was not bad. I had to buy a few additional washers and something as a spacer for it to work. The video posted on etrailers page on [online] for the Curt hitch said it came with a pin to lock in attachments, it does not, really big bummer. I will suggest shopping on etrailers to others but will inform them that the will need to improvise.

I know that this hitch comes with a lot of hardware. Was any hardware missing? You mentioned that you had to buy washers and spacer to install the hitch. I also wanted to ask which video talked about the hitch pin or lock? Typically, the hitches that we carry do not come with one.
Excellent rack, the directions are pretty poor, but the etrailer videos makes up for that. Installed easily and works great with my Kuat rack.
I installed this receiver on my new 2019 Impala to keep from putting gas cans in my new trunk, the installation was simple and works great . Just what I needed and would recommend it to others.
My item was ordered and received in two days. KUDOS for the team that made it happen. It was just in time to have it ready for our weekend trip.
The installation was a breeze even though I didn't have a car lift at my disposal it still only took my son and myself an hour to install it.
See the finished photo below with the bike rack connected.
Too complicated. A wiring harness that links to a rear tail light is much simpler. Aside from that the wiring works as it's supposed to, but the connector is stored in the trunk of the car until needed.
The Cort hitch works fine on the Buick Lacrosse, but will drag when entering or leaving a steep driveway. I don't think Buick intended for this car to be fitted with a hitch.
Very well built. Instructions are easy to read and follow. It only took about a hour to install which is pretty good considering I am 72 years old & did it by myself. My only objection is the box says made in U.S.A. but the parts say made in China!!! That's why no 5 stars.
The receiver is a perfect fit and install was quick and easy (even without a helper). Hardware and install instructions are exactly as described. We can now easily take our bicycles to some cool new places to ride.
great product, as advertised
THE PRODUCT IS ON THE MONEY.AND REAL FAST DELIVEREY ..THEN HAD IT INSTALLED FOR 50.00..FOR AROUND $ 200 WITH A GREAT PRODUCT..WHEN OTHERS WANTED TO SELL ME A CHEAPER HITCH WITH INSTALL FOR 375.00
This hitch is very nice and heavy duty. Installation was easy and I did it by myself. But a helper would have made it even easier. The wiring was easy as well. Only hard part of the hole installation was getting the black cable through the fire wall and ev ed n that was not to bad. Just attach the end to a hanger with electrical tape and carefully push through rubber grommet. And the fact that there's no drilling is a plus. The cheapest local shop wanted almost $400.00 installed, I saved around $200.00 , love it. Thank you etrailer. My go to place for all of my trailer needs.

Great, working as it should.
I went together well. Fit and finish are good.
Alex J did a great job with my order. He was very informative
. He got the order out that day but unfortunately UPS delivery was delayed a day. I would recommend you to others.
This will make a good hitch for a bike rack or light towing but I would not use to tow a large trailer. Attachment points are to sheet metal that holds up the exhaust system and to a frame attachement for the rear suspention. These are not very beefy and would be concerned about damaging the car, but great for a couple of bikes

That was for a Buick Lacrosse which I do not have anymore but I was happy with the hitch
I have used allot of e commerce companies in the past but my experience with e trailer has been nothing short of perfection! From the Customer Service to the prices do the fast delivery I could not be happier! If you need a hitch or a bike rack this is your place! Thank you E trailer.

Excellent, love it!
No pin included with the adapter.
Took 2 hours to drill larger screw holes. Thought it was advertised as a "drill free" install? Video for 2011 Buick Lacrosse specifically states it is drill free. Not on my 2011 Lacrosse.
My order was shipped quickly and delivered as promised. Installing the hitch on my vehicle was relatively easy with the help of the informative installation video provided online by etrailer. Overall, an excellent experience.
This is the 3rd receiver I have purchased from Etrailer and they have all worked flawlessly.

Still nothing to complain about. I have used this for long distance transport of heavy ebike and rack and it has held up without any issues.
