Installing a hitch can be a daunting task, but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver makes it easy with its bolt-on installation process. No drilling or welding required, the hitch uses existing mounting holes on your vehicle's frame for a seamless setup. Whether you're a novice or an experienced installer, you'll appreciate the simplicity. All the necessary hardware and detailed instructions are included, ensuring you can get the job done without professional help.
Keeping your hitch in pristine condition is key, especially if you're in an area with harsh weather conditions. This hitch is crafted from powder coated steel that is both sturdy and resistant to corrosion. The gloss black finish over a protective base coat not only provides superior rust resistance but also gives your vehicle a sleek, finished look. You can tow confidently, knowing your hitch is built to withstand the elements.
Generic hitches can be hit-or-miss when it comes to vehicle compatibility. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver is specifically designed to be a custom fit for certain vehicles, ensuring a perfect match. This custom fit means you're not only getting a hitch that fits well, but also one that aligns perfectly with your vehicle's aesthetics and functionality. You'll enjoy a neat, precise integration without compromising on performance.
When planning to haul heavy loads, having a hitch that can handle the demand is crucial. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver boasts a Class III rating, offering 3,500 pounds of gross trailer weight and 525 pounds of tongue weight capacity. Whether you're hauling bikes, luggage, or more substantial loads, this hitch has the muscle to support your adventures. You'll have peace of mind knowing your hitch is up to the task.
Keeping your vehicle's original look intact while adding functionality can be challenging. The concealed cross tube design of this hitch ensures that it remains largely out of sight, preserving the vehicle's sleek appearance. Without the bulky look of some other models, this hitch allows you to maintain the seamless style of your vehicle while enhancing its utility.
Having flexibility with the accessories you can use is a huge advantage. The 2-inch receiver opening on this hitch is industry-standard and offers you a wide array of options for bike racks, cargo carriers, and more. This means you have the freedom to choose the accessories that best meet your needs without worrying about fit issues.
Excellent service and arrived one day e arly.
Perfect fit. Excellent directions. Great price!
Great hitch, fit perfectly. Better instructions would be nice.
Ordered over a holiday weekend, and it arrived in time for the next weekend install ! Etrailer had a good tracking system in their order confirmation response. Box took it tough, but no damage to the heavy duty hitch or bag of bolts.
I was able to install this by myself in about an hour.
This went in perfectly after a little bit of cutting! Excellent shipping and packaged well!
Tucks up under the bumper nicely and was an easy install. We installed this on a 2022 Niro plug in hybrid. As others have mentioned, this will fit with just a little trimming on the hitch mount where it contacts the bit of unibody that is only present on the plug in hybrid.
No problems with installation.
My Hitch install went very smoothly. It was much easier elevated 8" on ramps, wheel chocks & with safety stands. I took my time cleaning & lubing the 4 mounting holes. Use the TIPs trailer has. I had a tap set but didnt bother. Used a bolt I slotted to cleanout the bolthole threads.
The fish wires made things a lot easier than tape. You can also use 2 plastic clips that hold bread bags closed.
I found 2 different sets of instructions, 1 for a shiny Hitch & another for the exact same Hitch in matte black. The longer procedure had more info but is only needed for a total newbie.
The Hitch was a perfect fit & the install was a breeze.
This is the only place i could find hitch for my car. It was delivered very fast. Installation only took about 30 minutes. Looks and works great.
Have bought several notches and one wiring harness from etrailer, all were easy to install and have worked very well! Instructions are simple and they tell you up front the estimated time and difficulty level of installation. Prices are great too!
It was a good fit and very easy. The hardware was all there. I liked the fish wire for the bolts. There was only one piece of plastic on my 2022 Kia Niro that needed cut/trimmed. It was very fast and etrailer was great about keeping me updated on the order status. I will definitely order from etrailer again if we need a hitch in the future.
The hitch went on easily and came with everything I needed to install it. The fit was good and bike rack fits snugly. I was surprised to see that after about a year, the steel around the sleeve of the hitch had begun to rust, peeling the paint and flaking the top layer of metal. I live in New England, so I expected it to rust eventually, but it happened a lot faster than I thought it would. I would suggest that anyone living in areas with high road salt use be sure to grease and rinse the hitch regularly. I didn't, and it's coming back to haunt me.
I've had this hitch for my 2019 Kia Niro Plug-In hybrid for about a year.
The fit was a bit tight, and I needed to spread the ends a few millimeters in order to get the hitch to slide in place. Once I spread the ends though, the hitch slid nicely in place, taking about 15-30 min to install.
I've been using it for my Kuat bike rack most days since, and love the way the hitch looks and works!
My brother recommended etrailer when I decided to purchase a hitch kit for my 2019 Kia Niro. I plan to haul at least two dirt bikes and likely my camping gear from time to time. My need was sparked by spring cleaning when I realized how much junk needed hauled out of my life. I was impressed at how easy and accurate the search tool and the filters were. I found my make and model and the products that fit my vehicle so easily I was truly amazed. I immediately noticed that every product that etrailer sells had a list of very detailed reviews, installation videos, recommended tools and lots of other information. I purchased a Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" and a T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector. I watched the accompanying video for the hitch installation one time all the way through. I was able to gather all the tools and get my vehicle set in just a few minutes. I revisited the video three or four times throughout the process. The hitch went on just as smoothly as the video showed and I am confident that it will reliably haul exactly what its rated for. The hitch fits nicely and is tucked safely below the fascia where you won't wack your ankles on it. It is clean, sturdy and rust resistant. I look forward to my first haul. I have yet to install the wiring harness but only because I ran out of time over the weekend. I will update my review when I have completed the installation of the wiring harness.
This is a great product and was so easy to attach with the videos provided that are specific to my vehicle. It took longer to gather tools and jacks and get the 4-legged "helpers" out of the way than the actual installation (1 hour from start to finish). This thing is HEAVY DUTY, so having an extra set of hands to hold it in place while you start the bolts is a real effort saver. You don't want to drop it because a furry creature is licking you in the face, just saying. Company service is second to none, I would recommend to anyone adding a hitch to their vehicle.
Hitch worked fine. It was delivered promptly. I got it to use with an e-bike carrier, which I leave permanently on the car -- bought a year ago and have had no issues. I had our local garage install the hitch.
Great price, quick free delivery. I would have give it a five star but it had too many areas that showed the metal part and it was very, very dirty! It came with all that is needed to install it! I did it by myself and I used the box it came in and a Jack to put it on! Good purchase.
