Hitch shipped almost immediately and had frequent communication from e trailer on delivery status. Customer service was exceptional.

Vw dealer did install in less than 2 hours. Had done prior etrailer product installs and spoke highly of product. Overall a seamless experience and I saved hundreds from oem vw hitch quote. Strongly recommend etrailer and products. 95033

Fit and finish are great. I didn't give it an Excellent because it didn't have the stock tow points in the hitch. Other than that it was flawless and I was able to install by myself, taking my time and being careful, in less than 3 hours.

Few notes: Pull fender trim straight out, perpendicular to the body, as the clips are fragile plastic and can break. Tail light securing "bolt" is retained, that is, it won't come out so you don't have to worry about it falling down into the paneling. Tail lights come out by pulling straight back - make sure plastic retaining bolt is pulled as far as it will go into the interior of the vehicle. Tail light electrical connector is removed by pulling red tab up, away from light assembly, and then pressing the black tab in it. Pull connector up/away from light assembly. Black pins in fender are a pain to remove, even after pushing the center pin all the way down. Work cautiously here to avoid scraping the paint; I ended up using needle-nose pliers to remove the darned things. I reused the foam insert, using my metal-cutting bandsaw (slower speed) for the trimming. Cut along the mold seam that's visible on the lower rear of the foam (back is back, front is front) and it should be perfect (instructions say it should be loose).97872

My Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver was delivered quickly and as advertised. What really shines about etrailer is the detailed instructions, including the video that was available covering the installation on my VW Touareg. Installation required a good bit more work than on some other vehicles, and I likely wouldn't have attempted it myself had I not been able to view the videos online and see that it looked like something I could handle. I'm only "handy" not a mechanic by any means and though it took some time, I was able to do it on my own, with some help from my wife when an extra set of hands was needed. The application specific, detailed instructions along with the video for some additional perspective helped the installation go smoothly.551183

Great product! 1757076

Nice hitch, feels real solid, quick delivery. I was able to install in 2hrs. The tutorial video was very helpful but nothing can prepare you for removing the plastic wheel well trim. I did a little damage there. The hitch held up well to a big bike rack and will be towing snowmobiles come winter. 254108

I think the picture says it all

This is the 4 hitch we have bought from etrailer, and can honestly say I have been very happy

This install on my Porsche has been one of the easier installs(yes even easier than my x5).

Becky was great in answering my questions and ensuring I had the correct hitch even provided some some initial install details. Thanks. 705631

The trailer hitch fit perfectly. The instructions for installation were correct save six additional screws that needed to be removed from left and right wheel wells. My model did not have mud flaps. The hitch arrived with in a week. Excellent savings over OEM hitch. Thank you etrailer.127519

Fits my 2011 Cayenne S just perfectly. Very sturdy, sturdier than original bumper. I can tell by the weight, it's 40+ lbs, about twice of original one. Two inches hitch works in every scenario. BTW delivery was quick, got in like 3-4 days. Thanks!794788

Trailer hitch fit like a glove, looks like it was installed at Porsche Factory. The light hook up was purchased at dealer. and had to have them add a part for $800.00 they forgot to sell me to put on. but the trailer hitch is great. not used yet but ready when needed.899835

Installed this on my '12 Cayenne. Did the install myself. Fit perfectly. It's held up great. I recommend the hitch.

I also used the Tekonsha Modulite ZCI trailer light. That was awesome. No splicing of wires. Worked great with Porsche which can be very difficult to put a wiring harness on.414087

Great service. Purchased for a 2014 VW Touareg.
-Easy to find the hitch I needed. Installation video was spot on. This was very helpful with the over complicated VW install. Product was as described and shipped very quickly. My only issue was the packaging. Hitch was not damaged. Looks like they fit the hitch in diagonally but the side wall did not hold once the box was picked up. There were some non-legit looking sites advertising a cheaper price. However, of the reputable hitch sites it had the best pricing I could find and they offered free shipping.1210331

I was skeptical about this product and even more so about installing it myself. I'm not remotely handy and have never done any work on a car (even removing body panels made me extremely nervous).

A year in, and I've used this hitch countless times without an issue. No squeaking, loose fittings, or electric issues.

All in, it took about 4-6 hours for me to install. The directions/instructions were pretty spot on and easy to follow.

Would recommend to anyone looking to save money with a DIY project.521740

The trailer hitch receiver bar was on sale at E-trailer for a great price, plus free shipping! Ordering on the website was really easy and the product shipped right away. It arrived at my house in just three days. The trailer hitch receiver appears to be of high quality. I have not yet installed it on my vehicle, so I can't comment on how that process is, but so far I am quite pleased with my entire transaction.266758

This hitch was well designed and built. It fit perfectly. The installation videos provided were very helpful. Delivery of my order was quicker than expected which was much appreciated. Would highly recommend this product for the VW Touareg.

I also ordered the Curt PWM Powered Converter with Wiring Kit - C56201KIT at the same time. This installation also went well with the help of the videos provided and I would also recommend this product be installed at the same time as the hitch.203310

Great hitch for a good price and installation looks like a factory install. You’ll need a friend to help with the install and some inexpensive plastic body tools to help getting body panels off without any scratches. For a rookie that’s handy with most tools, I’d rate the job an 8 out of 10 on the difficulty scale. Thinking of pulling off body panels on an expensive vehicle is rather daunting but the job is easier than it seems.1160687

Excellent product and outstanding service from Adam at etrailer. The hitch is well made and installed easily on my 2013 Touareg. The etailer installation video was very helpful. Install time for the hitch was about an hour and a half.

I wanted to be able to install the hitch over the weekend and called on Thursday to order it. Adam did an outstanding job to make sure it got on the truck so that I could get it the next day.

I wouldn't hesitate to order from etrailer again.399934

The company stood by its pledge and honored their lowest price promise. Pleased with my purchase. The how to install video was very useful. The hitch receiver fit the vehicle perfectly. I think the product could be packaged a bit better so the paint doesn't get damaged in shipping.995484

Hitch looks identical to VW's OEM hitch but costs 5x less! The Touareg specific installation instructions w/ color "step by step" photos were a huge plus. This product is a no brainer if needing a hitch for your Touareg.285283

This is my 3rd trailer hitch from etrailer and I couldn't be happier!

Fits my Porsche Cayenne perfectly and looks like an OEM product.1031584

Exactly as described, find a video on [online] on how to take your plastic off to access the hitch. This was the hardest part. Hitch fit perfectly. Whine project completed in about 2-3 hrs with help from one other person.1222945

Saved a lot of money purchasing from etrailer.com and installing myself. I'll do business with etrailer.com again. I am pleased with the quality of the Curt Trailer Hitch. Looks, and works great. DIY!78082

Thanks so much for the great service, etrailer! Ordered a hitch for my VW Touareg on Monday - and a helpful rep made sure it was the right one. The hitch arrived Thursday and was installed Friday! Couldn’t have been a better customer experience!602119

Hitch installed easily, (did take some time, I installed the wiring kit at same time)the video really helped in this install.
Great added service on your part.
