Rugged, Matte Black Finish

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.

I think the product was very good but the install was horrible. After confirming the right hitch receiver for my year, make and model car... it seemed like it wasn't quite right. I brought my car and the hitch to a very experienced auto mechanic, who has installed many hitches before. After trying to get the hitch installed, he needed to saw off a small steel piece under my car to even get the hitch to line up properly on the sides. After it was lined up, there was a 4" gap between the underside of the car and the hitch. We had to buy 4" bolts and spacers for the hitch to be mounted flush with the car so there would be no give. With the 4" difference between the car and hitch and the 4" bolts and spacers, the hitch rests on my exhaust pipe. My very quiet car that was so quiet you couldn't even tell it was running... is now rumbling loud with the hitch installation rubbing on the tailpipe. I am sad and frustrated with this experience, as it was supposed to be easy installation and a better way for me to transport my bicycle. Now all I think about is the installation and my loud car.

It is surprising that you had this experience with the hitch. Would you be able to confirm the year, make, and model of the vehicle? Can you send pictures of how it looks installed.



by:

Perfect fit for my RX450h.. It took about a couple of hours to install. The most time consuming part was cutting the plastic to clear the hitch.

2011 Kia Sportage

This one arrived in better condition than the one i bought in july. Box was intact but hitch wasnt protected inside box against falls/crashes as mentioned to etrailer before.
Installation was a cinch for a 2011 Kia! And it fitted really nice just below the bumper. Looks great.

Fit perfectly once I cleaned out the mounting threads on my car ;) And I didn't have to move the muffler at all. Thanks so much!



by:

This hitch receiver hitch fit our SUV perfectly. It is a little snug when getting over the muffler and a piece of the rear bumper needs to be bent out of the way, but it is plastic and will snap right back into shape. I'd recommend cleaning out the threads of the frame before trying to install his as ours was full of several years of rust and road debris. Guess we should have opted for that true coat. It is a nice low profile hitch that works well for smaller loads, like a bike rack.



by:

The hitch fits nicely on my Sportage. Watching the video to install it helped a lot! Shipped to Canada in only 4 days.

I've only needed to use it a few times for this little SUV, but it holds up my little camper just fine.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2008 Subaru Impreza
    For your 2008 Subaru Impreza, I recommend the EcoHitch Class 2 hitch # 306-X7261. I prefer this hitch over the others we offer, because it has the highest tongue weight capacity at 300 lbs. With a motorcycle carrier like the one you are describing, I think the additional capacity will be key. It is also the only hitch we offer for your vehicle that has a 2" receiver. So you will have no trouble finding compatible accessories. This hitch also features a removable receiver, so it will be...

  • Front Hitch for 2010 Ford F-350
    The # e54KR is designed to fit the Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson. For a front hitch on your 2010 F-350 I recommend the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31008. This is specifically designed to fit your truck and has a bolt-on installation.

  • Recommended etrailer Hitch for a 2023 Subaru Outback Wilderness
    Chad, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e54KR you're looking at is not going to work with your 2023 Subaru Outback Wilderness; Instead, you'd want to use the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e25TR. This hitch is virtually the exact same thing as # e54KR but is just custom to fit your Outback.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring For A 2024 Honda Pilot
    Hi Pete, Yes, we currently offer the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e27KR for your 2024 Honda Pilot. This is a custom-fit installation but the crosstube will interfere with the space available for your spare tire so you won't be able to mount a full-size spare and would need a donut-style spare. This hitch comes with a 6K towing capacity and 600lb tongue weight capacity, but you'll want to refer to your owner's manual to confirm your Pilot's limitations. If you plan on towing a trailer...

  • Is There A Trailer Hitch Available For A 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE
    Hi Kevin, The manufacturers we offer unfortunately do not have a trailer hitch confirmed to fit your EQE so the next option for hauling a bike rack would be to go with a roof rack system. There should be some fixed mounting points in your roof that you can use to attach the following roof rack components: Thule Fit Kit # TH53EE Evo Fixpoint Feet for Thule Evo Crossbars # TH49SC Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 After installed you can then mount a rack like the Yakima FrontLoader...

  • Trailer Hitch Options For A 1994 Chrysler Town And Country
    I may have a potential solution for you, but we do not carry any custom fit hitches for your 1994 Chrysler Town and Country. It looks like Curt used to make one, but they have not been available for about 2 years now. I can offer you a universal hitch like the Curt # C13701. This hitch is rated for 5,000 lbs towing and can be adjusted to fit frames 18"-51" wide. Please keep in mind that this is not a custom fit hitch and this would have to be fabricated to fit the back of your car. May...

  • Measurements for etrailer Hitch
    Hi John; I can get you some measurements if you let me know what you're looking for and the specific hitch. I can tell you the # e54KR you were looking at is designed to fit the 2011 - 2015 Kia Sportage excluding SX models and the 2010 - 2015 Hyundai Tucson so it will not fit your 1984 Toyota Pickup. We do have the # e96KR which is confirmed to fit your truck.

  • Is there a 2 Inch for a 2018 Honda Civic?
    No, it will not. There are no 2" hitches available from anyone for a 2018 Honda Civic. The only hitches available are class I 1-1/4" hitches due to the small size and capacity of a Honda Civic. To add a hitch to your daughter's 2018 Honda Civic sedan, I recommend the Draw-Tite item # 24954. This hitch is custom fit and mounts behind the rear bumper cover. The only portion visible is the 1-1/4" receiver which not only looks better but helps with ground clearance. I have linked an installation...

  • What etrailer Trailer Hitch Fits a 1999 Volkswagen Eurovan
    Thanks for reaching out, David! The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e54KR is a fit for a Kia Sportage or Hyundai Tucson. What you're needing for your 1999 Volkswagen Eurovan is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e62KR instead. This is a custom fit hitch that can be installed in about an hour (for the average DIYer) and doesn't require any drilling into your frame.

  • Availability Of A Trailer Hitch For A Hyundai H100 Imported Truck
    I do have a potential solution for you. I am afraid we do not carry any kind of custom fit trailer hitch for a Hyundai H100. It may be possible to fit your truck with a universal weld on hitch like the Curt Class 5 Universal Weld-on Hitch # C99CR. The flanges are adjustable and can be made to fit frames between 18" and 44" wide. You would need to take your truck to a professional welder and have the hitch fabricated to fit your vehicle.

  • Trailer Hitch For A 2004 Mercedes-Benz E320 Station Wagon
    The correct Trailer Hitch For The 2004 Mercedes-Benz E320 4x4 Station Wagon is the Curt Class 1 Hitch # C11701. We have checked with Curt in the past and confirmed that this hitch will fit the E320 Station Wagon as well as the Sedan. At this time the Curt hitch is the only one available for your vehicle. This hitch has a standard 1-1/4" receiver, so you will no trouble finding compatible accessories like a bike rack or cargo basket. We offer a lot of great options along these lines like...

  • Is there a 2 Inch Hitch for a 2021 Hyundai Sonata?
    No, it will not. I checked with all of our vendors, and the only hitches available for the 2021 Hyundai Sonata are 1-1/4". Hyundai didn't offer a 2" as a factory option either due to the small size and weight capacity of the car. Out of the two hitches available, I recommend the Curt item # C23HR because it has a better price. Both it and the Draw-Tite item # DT74MR are class I 1-1/4" hitches. They are rated for 200 lbs of tongue weight, however you will want to verify with your owner's...

  • What Trailer Hitch Fits A 2022 Honda HR-V EX
    Hello Michael. We do offer a hitch for the 2022 Honda HR-V EX, but the # e54KR hitch you mentioned will not fit. That hitch is only for a Kia Sportage or Hyundai Tucson. For the 2022 Honda HR-V we offer the Curt Hitch # C11416 for a 1-1/4" receiver, or the EcoHitch # 306-X7322 for a 2" receiver. Personally, I recommend going with the EcoHitch # 306-X7322 since the 2" receiver is more common, and it has a higher tongue weight capacity at 300 lbs. I have provided a link to our install video...

    Hey Phil, I think I found what you're looking for but unfortunately it looks like the wiring harness has been discontinued since what looks like 2021 which is probably why you can't find the video. Similarly I've found the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # HM40615 which is available still but there is no install video for it but it's pretty easy to install. All you'll need to do is plug into your vehicle's wiring harness which located...

  • Is There a 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver Which Fits a 2021 Hyundai Sonata Limited?
    We only have the Draw-Tite # DT74MR and Curt # C23HR trailer hitch receivers which will fit your 2021 Hyundai Sonata Limited. Both of these are 1-1/4" receivers as we do not have a 2" option like our etrailer # e54KR receiver you found which fits a 2011-2015 Kia Sportage and 2010-2015 Hyundai Tucson. We do have an Adapter # HT5R with a 5" rise built in that will allow you to use certain 2" hitch mounted accessories.

This hitch has a 2" receiver, a 2,000 lb max trailer weight rating and a 300 lb tongue weight rating. This is currently the only hitch available for the TDI model.

If you're also looking to add a brake controller, you're going to need # ETBC7 as well and a brake controller # 90195.

    We do offer a trailer hitch for a 2023 Volkswagen Atlas # C24ER. We do not have fitment information for the 2024 models yet (August 2023). I am not aware of any major changes, but we cannot yet confirm fitment for a 2024 Atlas. We are hoping to have fitment information in the coming months. That being said, the mounting points for the hitch are simply four small holes in the frame rail. Volkswagen adds an underbody coating to the bottom of the frame. Kind of like a hard foam.

It also features a matte black powder coat finish which does a better job hiding those inevitable scratches. If you plan on towing you will also need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118526.

You be able to haul a bike on the Cruze you would need to either switch to truck mount style rack, like the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634, or use a bike rack designed for a 1-1/4" receiver tube.
