Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4"
2018 Toyota RAV4Had the hitch installed on a 2018 Toyota RAV4. It works well with my Thule Helium 3 Bike Rack. Easy to put on/remove the rack. No complaints.
I just got a new car and was quoted about $600 for the dealer to install a new trailer hitch. I went to my mechanic who suggested that I order one from etrailer.com. I had the hitch within 3 days and it was attached the next. Total cost for the hitch and installation was $161. What a deal! I can now haul my bike around without having to rely on my husband's car.

Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4"
My order was received complete and on time. My only problem was with the installation instructions. They were a little deficient. The instructions referred me to a website, but those instructions were basically the same as the printed instructions. Fortunately, there was an install video by etrailer on how to install a Drawtite trailer hitch on a 2018 RAV4 that was excellent.
The hitch was appreciated by my son for his Rav4. I was worried when notified it would be over 5 weeks to receive, but etrailer offered to change the order to receive it earlier. The sales people were kind and sympathetic concerning the order. It did come earlier than expected and everything was as promised.

Pricing is good, shipping is fast. Manfacturing quality could be better - chain loops welded on crooked - visible to the eye (ongoing issue with Draw-Tite as I've had this on others from them). Packing is poor - ends/attach points poking through the box and scratched up. I've order a few receivers here - always the case. Plan on doing some touch-up painting before installation.
Well built and fits great on my 22' Rav4. Only complaint is the paint quality. Not sure if they used any primer, as some of the paint came off during shipping. Then some more came off where I rested the hitch on a jack to lift it into place when installing. I had to apply primer/paint to the bare metal to prevent rusting in the future.

After reviewing the installation video, my husband and I (we are both seniors) were able to install this item fairly easily.
The hitch fit my RAV4 and works as advertised, but my son had a little more trouble with the installation than expected. Fortunately, a video helped him get the job done, and he was able to add his bike rack to the hitch. It does what he needed, and the price was reasonable.

Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver with Standard Drawbar - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4"
The quality of the trailer hitch for my RAV4 is outstanding as were the people at etrailer that I worked with. The installation took about twenty minutes and I wasn't in a big hurry. Thank you etralier for a job well done. Joe
The hitch fit perfectly although one of the holes in the frame of my Rav needed to be worked (repeatedly screwing the bolt in and then backing it out, applying wd-40 and oil each time) . Eventually I got it but this was no fault of the Curt trailer hitch which, again, fit perfectly. Thanks.

Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4"
My son-in-law and I installed this hitch on a 2012 Toyota Prius V. The video for the install on a Prius is accurate for a Prius V with the exception that a Prius V does not have cosmetic cowling on the underbody that has to be removed. The install was straightforward and we had the hitch on in about 45 minutes. Other than the receiver on the hitch, you can't see the hitch without bending down and looking under the bumper. I personally like the aesthetics. We're using the hitch with the Swagman XTC-2 bike carrier and the combination is ideal for transporting our two bicycles. The fit between the hitch and bike carrier is tight and the Swagman allows us to drop the middle bar down for access to open the rear hatch of the vehicle when the bikes are not in the carrier but leaving the bike carrier attached. We bought the Prius V so we could carry passengers, gear and two bicycles on trips. The draw-tite hitch and Swagman XTC-2 give us the flexibility to do that. Here's some pictures to demonstrate as I've had a difficult time finding photos on the web showing a Prius V with hitch and bicycle carrier installed. I have a cover on the hitch receiver in some photos, sorry I took the photos at night with a flash, but hey, I did the review! Good luck. Oh, by the way, like others have written, E Trailer was on top of things from the get go and I received numerous e-mails about the status of my order and follow-up after my receipt. Only took three business days between the date of my order and delivery to my home. The hitch and bike carrier were boxed and then inserted into another heavy duty shipping box. There were a few small tears in the outer box (assume from rough handling by the delivery carrier) but the contents were not damaged in any way. I would definitely order again from etrailer.com.
Perfect fit and super simple installation (45 mins from opening box to torquing last bolt). Perfect for my bike rack and other attachments. Incredibly secure!Bought from etrailer 3x never dissapointed ?? Excellent instructions + customer service

2016 Toyota RAV4Quick installation with no modifications..
I purchase two different products and installed both, back to back. I did not use a jack or a lift, so it took about 45 minutes to finesse this one into/onto my Toyota Prius. I needed a helper (wife) which made it much easier. This is for a bike rack. Ordered Friday and delivered Monday, fast, fast. Thank you.

Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4"
This was easy to install, and unlike others it does not require a strap up to the hatch. It is used for a hitch hauler, so I need to use an adapter from the 1-1/4" to a 2" receiver. I suggest getting an adapter with a slight rise, as my carrier can scrape a curb going up a driveway. Sadly, etrailer only carries one with a 5" rise and I wanted a short 2" rise so my bins would stay below the tailights and window ledge.
Exactly as promised. It went on without a hitch (no pun intended). Ford Focus ‘15 install. I put it on alone so below look at the picture of my hack to hold it in place while I set the first couple bolts. I set the whole thing on concrete block and it wants to tip down toward the front of the car, so I just held it in place with a little extension cord that was in reach pulling down on the back of the hitch. Start to finish it took about an hour maybe an hour and a half but some of that was waiting for the paint to dry on the little bit of the frame that you have to grind down. I thought it would be better to cover the raw metal with some spray paint. I ordered the thing on Monday and it was here on a Wednesday so I’m pretty pleased with the service, the price and the product. Great company, I will order from them again (in fact I just did)
What our customers are saying:
"My Hitch was delivered very quickly. I was surprised to see it so soon. When i installed in on my car, it couldnt have been easier. It is a one person job. Took me about 20 minutes, and it was all together. Thanks for a great product, and great customer service. I will be doing business with you again in the future!"
