by:

All I really needed was the ball mount/hitch. The whole package was a little pricey but I figured I could use the other stuff (locking pin, hitch cover, storage case) anyway so I bought the package. The locking pin key broke after a week and I had to drill the lock out to remove it. Then I saw I could have purchased what I needed at my local auto parts store for about 1/3 what I paid for this. Definitely what I should have done. No problems with the actual ball and hitch though.



by:

Excellent hitch easy installation.It only took me about an hr and half to install from start to finish



by:

Easy to install. On the road some other KIA Telluride shouted at me about where I got the hitch. I shouted back etrailer.com and shouted that I installed it myself and it was relatively easy.



by:

Does the job it’s made to do. Exactly as pictured and is great. It does take so getting used to putting the locking bar thing in and securing it.

Still working just as good. No issues, but do still struggle occasionally with the lock. But I would rather do that than have someone steal our trailer and or hitch!



by:

Etrailer exactly matched up all my products for me, everything worked perfectly. the products are well made and A am impressed with the quality.
I recommend Etrailer to anyone looking to add accessories to their vehicles.



by:

There were some UPS delivery issues, damaged in shipment. But, etrailer.com jumped right on sending out another shipment after it was apparent that UPS would not complete the delivery.

The installation took longer, maybe 1-1/2 hours, because I did not have all my tools ready and I was working on the concrete floor in the dark to outside with a portable shop light. Everything fit well and it looks great.

The 2" drop ball mount was the perfect height for my 2019 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. I love the look of the Curt black insert that makes the hitch looks like it belongs on the car, nothing embarrassing at all.

Anything negative? Maybe. The flat plate was a little difficult to hook onto with the UHaul safety chains on a 5x8 trailer. That's hardly a negative, though, and I wouldn't have spent more on another brand choice because of this. Happy happy!



by:

Great fit and finish on this kit. So nice to be able to tow things with my Forester now. I thought I had an issue but figured out it was user error pretty quick, but only after I contacted etrailer for help. I heard back within 30 minutes of emailing and by that time I figured out my blunder. They were extremely helpful and responsive and were set on fixing the problem I thought I had. I have used etrailer for several different purchases over the past couple years and every time I have been thrilled with the service and the quality of product.



by:

The starter kit provided just what I needed to begin towing. No rust either.



by:

Excellent receiver kit! Combined with the curt trailer hitch and the oem Mazda trailer harness add on, this is legit!



by:

Great Product! It says 'Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches - 2" Ball - 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 7.5K", but on the item itself there is no mention of a 3/4" rise.....is it, or not?

Hey neighbor! I just went out and double checked and the packaging will only list the 2" drop, but the ball mount itself does list both drop and rise information. If you do need to flip it to the rise position, make sure to torque the ball to 250 foot lbs.



by:

GREAT! Ball/mount assembly kit received in excellent condition.
(Note: I had also received the hitch assembly a week or so earlier)

Impressed with quality, fit and performance of product.

Perfect set-up for my bike rack used on my 2020 Subaru Outback.

Will definitely use etrailer.com for future purchases.



by:

While I haven't yet used it, this kit seems to be exactly what I need. Fit and finish are excellent, and packaging is most convenient for those of us who only occasionally use a hitch and want to store the kit when not in use. Thanks! Highly recommend.



by:

Standard kit, met expectations.



by:

Fit and finish were excellent, I am happy with this product.



by:

After a slight issue that was immediately identified by etrailer, they quickly resolved it, and I received everything in 4 days. Great customer service!



by:

I'm going to be moving soon and I have a new truck. I bought a hitch kit and extendable rear view mirrors for towing. They were well packaged and delivered quicker than I expected. You get something extra with your order. What really impressed me was the people. These people clearly LOVE what they do. You get people who actually care, with every order. That's something you can't buy and they give it away with every order.



by:

As always, Curt products are well built. The style and finish are beautiful. Never have any problems with fitment.
Searching and ordering online was a breeze. My only complaint is the search filter. It is not very user friendly.
This kit has everything you need and more. I especially love the locking hitch pin. I use a lot of public boat ramps and over the years I have had my hitch stolen multiple times. With this locking pin, I wont have to worry about that anymore.



by:

It’s nice to not need to torque the ball onto the hitch.



by:

Easy installation, low profile and excellent quality. Exactly what I was looking for in a hitch receiver for our 2021 Pilot.



by:

It’s as advertised, a hitch assembly. I do like the rubber hitch hole cover, it has a snug fit. The lock seems kind of weak at first use but I’ll give it time.



by:

Does the job. In a year I’ve hauled maybe 10 times without issue and the ball has even stayed pretty shiny!



by:

First time installing a hitch receiver went really well with the included instructions and videos. If I need to get another receiver this will be my place to go!



by:

This started kit has everything you need in one nice package to get towing! Very nice to not have to piece everything together separately. And it costs much less by getting it all together in one handy package! Thank you Alyssa for all your help!



by:

Great service and great folks to deal with. Would definitely recommend them
and would definitely be a return customer.

Easy installation

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5
    To add a hitch to your 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5, I recommend the Curt item # C98DR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Hyundai with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 2,500 lbs towing capacity and a 200 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like the Curt hitch item # C98DR because the crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper cover leaving only the 2" receiver exposed.

    Cost and finish. The Curt item # C13416 and the etrailer Hitch item # e23ZR are both manufactured by Curt to the same specifications and capacities. The etrailer item # e23ZR is our house brand hitch and my personal preference due to the flat matte finish. This coating tends to blend in better beneath vehicles than the glossy finish on the Curt item # C13416. Both the Curt item # C13416 and the etrailer item # e23ZR hitches are confirmed to fit a 2021 Toyota RAV4. These hitches are custom...
