I am using the hitch for a car dolly and a bike rack. The fit is a little loose for the bike rackmI'll see it really works when get on the road.

Quality is excellent. However, it did not work so I am not sure what to do with it. I thought I could use the top hitch for a Bike rack and pull a utility trailer with other toys. The trailer is too close to make a turn so good try but not able to use it. Thank you for asking. I did not open the box for a while because I was having the trailer worked on so assumed I waited too long to return.

This is a beast of a drawbar, solid forged steel & well finished. It's also very heavy and E-Trailer needed to ship 3 times because the first two broke out of the box they were packed in. (Someone in the USPS has a couple nice draw bars.) Fortunately the 3rd effort was much better packed in a reinforced box and was successfully delivered. E-Trailer customer service was exemplary in resolving the shipment issue & I will definitely shop with them again.

A nice solid constructed hitch. It should handle everything I hook up to

Good quality part. Easy Install. Used for a year so far. No problems.

Great Hitch, reasonably priced

Picked up my teardrop in ABQ on 2/17/23, and the Curt ball mount lined up perfectly with no drop/rise, and the extra length gave clearance for my rear door mounted spare tire. This mount is a beast, and the "overbuilt" nature of it gave me confidence that my Bronco would tow the teardrop easily. I also got the Curt Echo wireless brake controller, which synced easily to my phone and was easy to install, set up, and use. Overall a great towing experience, thanks to etrailer and Curt!

Works great used for 3 different trailer we have handy it's heavy well made.

The ball mount did not fit onto the shank. This was a very disappointing experience.

The fit of the U channel for the ball mount was too tight over the verticle drilled box tube. It needed “persuasion” to get it over the tube. This will make height changes away from the shop difficult. No rattle though.

Will allow me to connect my trailer to my SUV such that the trailer rides close to level.

I bought this on my knowledgeable brother's advice - he gave me the exact order number and link to buy from etrailer! I had it installed locally, without complications. I use my truck mostly to haul my horse or my friend's two donkeys in my 14-foot stock trailer. I have no complaints, the hitch does what it's supposed to do.

I installed this on my 2015 Honda Accord for the purpose of pulling my small aluminum fishing boat and trailer. Works great!

Drawbar looks great and will be using in next two days. Thanks!

Weights a ton. Seems very strong...10,000 pounds using the 2 5/16s balls. Good paint.

When its labeled as heavy duty they are not kidding. This ball mount is stout to say the least. Great price for awesome product!

Allows me to open the tailgate on the truck with a trailer hitched up.

Its been a year and I aint broke it yet. I use this hitch to tow my 7Klb trailer. The trailer is tongue heavy and I needed something rugged to tow it with. Haven't had any troubles with this hitch.

This ball mount fit the SUV just right. I needed a 5 inch rise and the mount angled away from the bumper. However, the load capacity was way more than I needed, but the fit made up for that. It's a little loose in the receiver so I will be adding a stabalizer to lock it in place.

Incorrectly listed on etrailers as a 3-1/8” rise, when really this is a 5-1/8” rise (marked correctly on the item itself, but listed incorrectly on this website).

I am completely satisfied with the product. Great quality and excellent finish. Prompt shipping and excellent customer service. It is stylish and functional and will meet my needs for towing up to 3,500 pounds. I would definitely do business with this company again!!!

Exactly what I needed. I bought this Mercury Mariner used and it had factory installed hitch with a 1 1/4 receiver. I needed a drawbar with a substantial drop to tow my utility trailer somewhat level. Local shops had lots of 2 inch drawbars with drops but no 1 1/4 and I was even told that they weren't made and I would have to use a 1 1/4-2 inch receiver adapter do get what I wanted. You folks had what I needed and it arrived quickly. I should have looked here first.

I have a 2012 Outback. The car has more ground clearance than my previous Outback so the 2 1/2" drop on my old drawbar resulted in the rails on my motorcycle trailer tilting backwards slightly. This made loading the motorcycle a bit tricky because it wanted to roll backwards when loaded, until strapped down. I looked all over town for a drawbar with more drop but was unable to find one. Finally found this drawbar and it worked perfectly with enough drop to level the rails on the trailer. I also like the fact that it is a bit shorter than other drawbars and doesn't stick out as far.
