Hitch had lots of deep scratches had to repaint some areas. But a very sturdy and good quality.
Easy to install looks good works like a charm
Easy to install. Instructional video on website was great.
Ordered the hitch and received it in just a couple of days, very easy to install.
Great Service, Fast Shipping, took about 10 minutes to install on 2011 RAV4, looks good.
Very pleased with our new trailer hitch. Easy to install.
shipped faster than if i drove there and picked it up myself! great service. and the products themselves exceeded my expectations.
This hitch was very easy to install. My wife and I installed it in about 30 minutes(which includes the time getting out my tools).
Ther is no doubt in my mind that she could have installed it by herself.
Great hitch. Install time was (conservatively) 5 minutes. Took longer to get it out of the box! Ordered it one afternoon and it showed up the next day.
The hitch itself, was just as advertized, the speed at which it was delivered to my front door, was exceptional. I was told it would be 2 days,...it was half that time. Thanks, BW.
Great product and fast delivery, took 15 min to install on my 2011 Rav4. Customer service made sure I had the right parts before hit purchase.
Found your product very easy to install. I did have to go out and buy 2 extra mounting bolts. Other then that. Very nice product.
Excellent product, seems very well made, arrived in great condition and we installed it in 15 minutes! Thank you etrailer!
Easy online ordering. Excellent follow-up throughout the shipping process. Arrived on time. Excellent product. Would not hesitate to order from this comapnay again. Will share my experience with my friends and family.
If the car is half as strong as the hitch it will be great! The hitch is a very good product and I would recommend it to other friends. The only problem I had is with UPS, as they left the package at someone elses house. Those people saw the name on the box and called me right away! I was impressed with your service and was surprised at how fast I had the products!
I received my hitch without a hitch. It came within 3-4 working days and everything I ordered was in the box. Hitch, receiver, and harness all just as I ordered them and ahead of schedule. I am having it installed even as I write this. I will send pictures ASAP.
Easy to install. The hitch took only 30 minutes by myself and some blocks of wood to hold it up.
The wiring kit took much longer due to routing the power cable, though. Patience and planning is key for that part.
The service at etrailer is excellent. I ordered two components for my car, a hitch and wiring harness. Etrailer had the most reasonable prices online, plus their website is easy to navigate and link necessary parts together. After ordering my total came above the minimum for free standard shipping. Etrailer upgraded my shipping for free to 3-5 day overnight. It arrived in excellent condition, and I could not be more pleased with my purchasing experience.
Perfect fit, on in 20 minutes at my friends garage. You should suggest that the muffler be dropped out of the way for ease of installing the forward bolt on the passenger side. This is my second hitch from etrailers and I always recommend you guys to my friends. Thanks for a truly great product.
Packaged well, Single instruciton sheet, four bolts. couldn't be simpler... except that if you have a RAV4 sport, you'll need to remove the exhaust tip mounting screw (hex button head holding flexible band) as the sport exhaust chamber blocks one of the hitch mounting bolts (not so on the standard RAV4). Other than that, couldn't be simpler. Hitch is sturdy, and once installed, is about level or slightly higher than the level of any other car bottom components.
Works great once installed. Installation would be straightforward except the four holes on the hitch receiver didn't line up perfectly with the corresponding holes in the 2018 RAV4, off by a fraction of an inch due to the vehicle and/or hitch receiver being bent a tad. So we had to use some ingenuity with available tools and muscle to bend the hitch receiver to get the bolts to fit. You may have better luck with a perfect fit from the start but be aware of this risk that added a degree of difficulty to the install.
Shipped fast! Perfect fitment to my 2015 rav4 xle and amazing customer service!
It fitted perfect. Easy to install but second person needed to lift the other end. Less than 20 minutes.

Always a good idea to get a buddy for some help - and 20 minutes is impressive! Glad it was a smooth install. :)
The hitch receiver came in a sturdy oversized box containing no padding to secure the hitch, possibly explaining the two large holes in the box. There was no immediately visible damage to the hitch but when I measured the distance between the mounting flanges at the forward and rear corresponding edges there was about 1/2 inch difference, suggesting that they were bent presumably during shipping. Fortunately, I was able to mount it to my 2018 RAV4 Hybrid Limited without the need to bend anything. The installation went pretty smoothly except for some fiddling to disconnect the muffler hanger, and I broke two of the plastic fittings that hold a plastic panel in place over the driver side mounting area. I replaced the plastic fittings with some bolts and nuts so no worries. This was a 1-man install job which I accomplished by using a floor jack to raise the hitch into position. Shipping was super fast! I received it the day after I ordered it. All in all I think I will be really happy with this purchase.

Serves the purpose for which I purchased this - to hold my bike rack. Still looks like new, no rust or scratches.
I choose etrailer based on great prior reviews, price, and vast selections. While watching a few of their YouTube videos that were very specific and informative in how to install my hitch, I felt confident in their product and customer service quality. I choose standard shipping and it was I received it that week. Very fast! Upon inspection I was surprised how mint condition it was I say that because it there wasn’t really much protection in the box protecting the hitch. I’ve worked for a major shipping company and boxes are thrown around in transport, especially when it comes off the main truck and hits the warehouse conveyor belt system. It’s not malicious, it’s just part of how it’s done. That being said, there wasn’t a mark on it. Great powder coat all around. Came with all well made hardware and directions That were easy to follow. I actually was able to install it myself in less than 30 min. Don’t pay to have someone install it. Just ask a neighbor or a family member to help. All you really need help with or just someone to hold one side up when you lift it in in mine I was even able to just balance it with one of my legs while I have the other side because it wasn’t a huge hitch. Really impressed with it and very happy and would definitely order from them again
