Installing a trailer hitch can be a daunting task, but not with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver’s bolt-on design. Forget about complicated welding processes; this hitch bolts directly onto your vehicle’s frame. With the hardware and clear instructions included, even a DIY newbie can have it set up without a hitch.
Rust and corrosion can shorten the life of a trailer hitch, but the powder-coated steel build of this hitch addresses that. The gloss black finish over a protective base coat provides superior rust resistance, ensuring that it stands up to harsh weather and road conditions.
Finding a hitch that fits perfectly can be a challenge, but not with this custom-fit model. It's designed specifically for your vehicle, providing a snug and secure fit. This means better performance and less stress on both your hitch and vehicle frame.
Need to tow a heavy load? This Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver is up to the task with a maximum gross trailer weight capacity of 6,000 lbs. When used with weight distribution, it can manage up to 7,500 lbs, providing peace of mind no matter what you’re hauling. Plus, with a 2-inch receiver opening, it’s compatible with a wide range of trailer types.
When it comes to towing, durability is key. The sturdy square-tube design of this hitch offers robust construction that can handle day-to-day use and heavy loads with ease. It’s a reliable choice for long-term towing adventures.
For those heavier trailers, this hitch can handle a tongue weight of 750 lbs, ensuring a stable and secure connection. This high tongue weight capacity helps to distribute the trailer’s weight better, reducing sway and improving handling during your travels.
Tech Tip
Hitch may block the spare tire release mechanism accessed from behind the rear tire. Modification to the mechanism would be needed to allow access to the spare tire release through the designed hole in the hitch. No drilling through vehicle frame required for installation , May be necessary to cut off a grounding bolt from the frame rail.

The hitch is solid. The paint was damaged from shipment, due to it was only wrapped in two pieces of paper and some plastic,that did not protect it. Was not in a box. No worries buying a hitch for over $[XX], you just go buy some paint too. the instructions still do not tell you to remove the ground stud... but you have to, which means, go buy some primer. I tried to install it and was oh so close, but that big hole they made for the stud.... useless, the hole was not even close to being in the correct position and would not allow the hitch to move forward to get the all the bolt holes to align. I cut off the stud, and it went into position just fine. Then I painted the bare metal from cutting off the stud, and the bare metal on the hitch. they should change the instructions to say cut off the ground stud, first.
Delivery date stated was off buy one day, not a big deal, I just planed my day for it, then the day it actually did arrive I spent the day wrestling with it, and painting. Over all, it is a solid hitch, I hope no-one rear ends me, this Van will be totaled, but the hitch will be ok. Minus one star for .... partly their fault, partly yours. but not too bad, considering it was free shipping. FYI, I rarely get any big items from UPS that does not have some damage, it is just the way it is these days. I would buy Curt again, and I would buy from ETrailer again. This review was about as honest as I could make it. Hope it helps.
Excellent communication when order shipped. Perfect product as I expected. The instructions suck gor the hitch install from the manufacturer but the etrailer install video helped so much. Thank you!!!
Had to grind a ground nut off the chassis. Other than that a great fit
Easy to install if you follow the directions. We did receive one wrong bolt in the kit which etrailer took care of immediately. A little tricky fishing the bolts and plates in place. Make sure you get your whole rack up and above the leaf springs before trying to bolt anything on. Took us about 2 hours. LOL I could do it in under half an hour if I had to do it again. There was another rack we saw etrailer for the Promaster which required removing your bumper and had less capacity. I am so glad we bought this hitch.
The hitch has worked wonderfully on our Promaster during the last year and I'd highly recommend it and etrailer!
Arrived fast, great packaging, instructions clear. Although it took this 77 year old “a little longer” than expected. Very good hitch.
Repeat customer, great prices, everything needed for the install was provided. Receiver holding up very well. No issues. You guys are my go too for towing components.
The hole on the driver's side did not line up with the grounding stud and the hole on the passenger side did not line up with the mechanism for lowering the spare tire.

Hi Robert, because of their size and shape, sometimes the trailer hitches get flexed during transport to you. I'll link an article below that describes how to fix this. Please let me know how it works for you.

Everything fit as it was supposed to. Shipped on time too.
Quality of this tow hitch seems good. However, in the 2023 Ram Promaster high roof van (maybe others) there is a small screw that sticks out from frame that needs to be cut off before you are able to slide driver side of hitch up high enough to put in the long bolt that fits all the way through the frame (which secures the hitch to frame). This was unexpected and delayed install until I figure out what to do. Would have also liked to see a fitting on the hitch for my electrical plug in. But I am not sorry I bought this (unless van falls apart because I cut the screw off) it is solid and can hold 750 tong weight and "simple" to install.
Could not install. Bolt holes on the front match but others do not line up and there is a part on the driver side that interferes with the hitch sitting flush. Going to take it to local repair shop and have them modify the frame/hitch so it can be installed.
Great Product and super fast shipping!

2018 Promaster 1500 118. I went with this one because of ease of installation. The hitch is fine and sturdy, the hardware is a little rough but no big deal. The van was the real problem, nothing fit the first time. The ground bolt by the exhaust had to be cut off, and all the frame holes had the anti rust coating in them, and flashing that had to be ground away for the bolts to fit. Make sure all holes are clear and cleaned before you start trying to lift the hitch.
I have not installed it yet since it just arrived today. Disappointed on the way it was packed for shipping. As you can see in the photos, there are several spots where the protecting coating was damaged because of lack of protection. I expect better from etrailer.
Fast delivery and excellent communications.
Perfect fit on my 2017 Promaster.
Ram Promaster 1500 Perfect fit excellent welds and design. Take your time installing it. It is a tight fit but worth it in the end. Paint and welds are like new after towing 5,000 lb. trailer.I bought another brand before this one and sent it back due to lack of quality. I built my van into a high end camper and wanted the best components for the build. I am a yacht builder from Maine.

Fantastic No Rust From MI NE WINTER
Super easy install. Instructions were very good.
While the hitch is of high quality, during and after installation we could not get the spare tire jack access hole on the hitch to align with the spare tire jack access assy.
Product is rock solid, fitment is great, ordering was easy, shipping time was correct. Downsides, packaging was pretty much destroyed and the excellent finish was chipped and or rubbed off some of the edges and corners. I decided or just install it anyway, consoling myself that I have a working vehicle and that no one would likely notice minor damage up underneath

Still rock solid and I don’t expect that to change. Your company has a large []ion reliable products, I expect we will do business again. Thanks again.
Great hitch, super solid build. When installing, be sure to line up the spare tire lowering receiver into the hole on the hitch frame. I failed to and had to later remove the spare tire crank device so it was not hidden behind the hitch frame. This was my fifth hitch from etrailer. Price and shipping speed is always impressive. I have saved a substantial amount of money compared to having someone else install these.
This is a seriously beefy hitch. Impressed with construction and installation hardware.
I installed the hitch with intermittent help. I didn't time it but it took me multiple hours.
On my install the spare tire raising pin *did* end up lining up with the hole designed for it. However I'm glad I removed that part of the spare tire mechanism prior to install because it would have made positioning the hitch just that bit more difficult. I'm sure this whole process would be substantially easier on a lift and with two people full time but doing the whole process near the ground - even though I was able to raise the van a few inches on my jacks - was a PITA.
I'm also glad I removed the spare tire since that gave me much more room to work in.
Also, do yourself a favor and grind off that grounding bolt. Yeah, sure, it might theoretically fit but we could not finagle it in to position with the bolt in place. The bolt was difficult to get to because the exhaust was in the way. I was able to get my angle grinder in at only a single angle - which was enough to shave it down to about 1/16" without damaging the surrounding protective coating.
I concur with the shipping materials comments in the other reviews - I was very surprised it didn't arrive damaged (scrapes and dents). I'm sure our delivery guy was swearing - this puppy is heavy and unwieldy.
Oh, yeah, we also used a racing jack to help us get it in position - just so that we didn't have to carry the entire weight as we shifted it around.
All-in-all happy with the result. My recommendation - expect to make a day of it, get a friend to help and get as much as possible out of the way first.
I have the 2017 promaster 1500 135 and found that all the holes lines up including the spare tire crank 'socket'. With two person its much easier to get the rack into position and aligning the holes for bolts. Make sure you read the instruction carefully and pay attention to the installation video detail. We learned that the hard way, thought we have understanding them well. Don't mixed up the long and short bolts, the long bolt goes to the right with the towing ring. This rack is very strong and sturdy. We just came back from Outer Bank with a 6 hr trip one way with our 2 ebikes, (together with the Hollywood ebike rack)
Construction is high quality. Little bit tricky to install even with the videos. The little crank housing that lowers the spare tire is supposed to fit thru a hole in the side of the hitch. Yeah its impossible to line that up then get the holes to line up to bolt up the hitch. i took the crank housing off completely, finished the hitch install and made it tight, then cut and modified the bracket for the spare tire crank housing so it would fit easily thru the hole in the hitch. Similar thing on the opposite side.... there is a small factory grounding lug on the van, it too is supposed to slide thru a hole in the hitch. I couldn't get it to work. after wrestling with it for half an hour i took a sawzall and cut it off. Nothing was attached too it anyway. Hitch is very heavy duty. Works Well. I like how it attached with 6x grade 8 bolts both vertically, and horizontally bolted. This is super strong design as the load is spread over the tensile strength and and shear strength of all those bolts. Grade 8 1/2" bolts... your talking nearly 20,000lbs of strength PER bolt. The hitch aint going anywhere!
The Curt trailer hitch receiver was so easy to install on my Ram Promaster 1500 that I was sure I had missed something as it only took about 20 minutes to install. It looks great also.
The customer service and shipping are probably the best I have come across in dealing with any company.
Etrailer's installation video on this particular model of hitch that I purchased helped the process immensely. Total time to install on my 2015 Promaster van was 1 hr because I was solo. Maybe it would have taken 30 minutes if I had a helper. All the correct hardware was included and I am very pleased I went with Etrailer to purchase this tow hitch.
