Perfect for light-duty towing, this custom, vehicle trailer hitch receiver features fully welded, gloss powder coated steel construction. Drawbar sold separately.The installation video sold me on this hitch. When I saw how easy it was to install and how well it was designed I had to have one. Thanks for making this project so simple
The trailer hitch receiver arrived much sooner than anticipated and I had my mechanic install it on my new 2022 CX-30 Turbo Premium. Once mounted it felt very solid and technically fit perfectly. Unfortunately there was very little clearance between the angle piece on the left side of the hitch receiver and my muffler bracket (driver side of the mounted hitch receiver). This caused my muffler bracket to rattle against this hitch on the bumpy New England roads where I live, even at times when the car was just sitting in park and idling.
My last car (a 2014 VW GTI) had a Curt trailer hitch receiver and I had many good years of service from that part. It even included a rubber hitch receiver cover that was not included with this part for my 2022 CX-30.
I'm sure once my mechanic can grind away some of the hitch bracket to open up clearance between my muffler bracket and the hitch I will be rattle-free, but it is a little disappointing that out of the box this part does not have enough clearance to prevent muffler bracket rattle when idling or riding on bumpy New England roads.

You mentioned that you were experiencing rattling with the exhaust rubbing against the hitch. This happens from time to time and we have a great FAQ on how to eliminate the rattle which you can see in the link below.

Thank you for pointing me to your FAQ on how to address exhaust rattles. I will ask my mechanic to try longer rubber isolators as that would be a better solution than grinding away material. If I can correct my rattle through solutions identified in your FAQ I will update my rating on your website if that is possible.

after purchasing some muffler hanger extensions and having them installed, my Curt trailer hitch has not had any more problems with clanging or rattling. Ive been extremely happy with the trailer hitch over the last year.
Delivery was quick. Article was of excellent quality. Installation was reasonably smooth. Only issue was I had to trim a small section of the air dam under the rear bumper for the hitch to fit into the proper position (see photo).
Quite difficult to install since you have to enlarge the holes in the frame - bought the (expensive) bits to do this, but they didn't work. Wound up using a Dremel to finish the job. The hitch also doesn't have enough clearance so the exhaust bangs loudly against the hitch on every bump. Contacted etrailer about banging and the recommendations were not feasible even by an actual garage. Avoid this hitch!
Both mounting arms were really bent. Thankfully, I managed to straighten them to be able to mount the hitch.
Second vehicle I have installed a hitch on from e-trailer. I installed this with one other person's help in about an hour and a half on my Mazda CX-30. Install was relatively easy, the two sample videos were excellent and I highly recommend removing the muffler entirely as suggested in one of the videos as it made widening frame holes and fitment incredibly easy. No rattling or rubbing, fit is perfect, all parts and instructions were included, and the hitch arrived very quickly. Always impressed with ease of install on these hitches.
Really happy with this purchase and the customer service support. I do have a bit of a rattle from the installation, which is an issue with my specific car. Otherwise I would definitely recommend the site for future purchases and may even be buying a second hitch for my wife's car soon.
The hitch fit very well. I only use it to attach a bike rack so it works perfectly for that
Very well made. The installation does require enlarging two holes in the frame to 1 3/8, so be prepared with the right tools. Overall simple installation and great product.
Excellent delivery time. The packaging was first rate and the hitch looks great. Very professional finishing details. I have not installed it yet but the you tube video instructions look very straight forward.
So far I received the hitch and I am excited. I now need to find someone to install the hitch. I live in around Houston, TX.
Really great product. Took it to a local mechanic and the insulation was simple.
Installtion took about an hour. Looks nice and fits perfectly. Only thing i didnt like was having to grind the access hole bigger to fit the bolts through. Otherwise would rate it an Excellant
went on easy as guided through the instructions. it's a year later from original install and all is well.
works well for holding my bike rack and bike.
This product is great. Bought it for my bike rack and it fits the car and bike rack perfectly. Can't wait to drive with my bike to the bike trails in the state
Just what I need it was simple and easy instructions are easy to understand took 1 hr. to install and 2 hrs for the electrical harness item#C86CR this kit comes with everything you need very satisfied with the outcome my Mazda CX30 is ready for a road trip! Thank you etrailer!
I highly recommend removing the muffler. Doing so will give you the room and access to enlarge the holes and install the hitch.
Installed on 2023 Mazda CX-30.
excellent product but requires installation and installer would not "drill out or expand existing hole in frame, so he had to take off bumper of MAzda cx30 to install. cost of installation 250, rather than 125.
Hitch was in perfect condition when it arrived in just 2 days, excellent ?? interaction with salesperson.
She knew her business.
I installed myself, and removing muffler made the job a lot easier. It did take 3-4 hours to install. Making access hole bigger took the most time.
Not everyone has a die grinder handy, however hitch fit perfectly. Adequate clearance with muffler ( no rubbing or noise)
Very happy with the look of the hitch ( doesn't stick out )
Easy install. Easy instructions. Great quality. Best price.

Awesome
Overall great, however modifications to trim are necessary if you have a CX-30 Turbo. A vertical piece of trim going along the bottom of the bumper (presumably to block the view of the larger muffler) will need to be trimmed to fit the receiver up into.
Perfect fit,
