Specs:
The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.
At etrailer we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch.

It took a little effort to enlarge a couple holes in the frame to fish the bolts through but all went pretty well. Looks strong and works good.
real easy to install great workmanship on hitch
Fast shipping, great prices, I can’t wait to install the hitch and see how it performs.
The box showed up in short time and was packed with all we needed to do the install. Directions were very easy to understand.
I generally will buy Curt products over other choices because they tend to be high quality, made in USA (my home town) and install easily.
This one was a bit of a disappointment. It came bent from shipping damage (poorly packed) and the coating was cracked... Not Curt's fault, obviously, lesson learned: don't buy a hitch off the internet. I was surprised the coating chipped and started flaking as easily as it did however, didn't seem to be bonded very well to the steel.
The install was more difficult than it should have been. The heads of the carriage bolts don't fit through the holes as directed in the instructions, they are about .2" too big on the diameter. I could have hacked/ground them to fit, but chose to remove the entire bumper fascia, bumper, etc. and install them through the end.
The other minor annoyance was that the hitch uses standard sized fasteners, including an oddball standard-headed-metric bolt to go into the OE bumper, whereas you need an 18mm socket to remove the OE hardware...
So its unfortunate that it gets a 'good' rating due entirely to saving a few cents on fasteners, and finishing.
Also worth noting the videos on this website have a habit of glossing over the more difficult parts, perhaps to make it easier to sell stuff. I'm a pretty adept mechanic and by the time i had to bend the hitch back into shape, and remove the entire bumper, the install ran me just short of 3 hours.
I would say if your time is worth anything, you are probably better off buying this hitch local and paying someone the quoted install time of 1/2 hour shop labor, and letting them deal with the liability of shipping damage or install complications.
I did just tow a 3000 lb ski boat over 1500 miles with the hitch, it tows noticeably better than the class 2 hitch that was on my old 2000 Caravan. Plus, the 2" receiver accepts more 'standard' bike racks and stuff like that. Paying a little more for the Class 3 is money well spent.
TL; DR: good hitch, probably the best one available for this car, especially if you plan on doing any serious towing (boat, camper, etc) but buy it local and pay someone to install it or plan on 2+ hours and some cursing.
Great instructions. Easy install.
