Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4"
Had 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 Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2"
I just finished installing 76134 Hitch on a 2018 Toyota RAV4 LE Hybrid. I really appreciated the video (red 2017 Toyota RAV4 LE) and other comments. That guy in the video is impressive. I had three differences from the video 1st) The tie down bracket required my torque wrench to loosen. It was on there and my drill would not cut it. 2nd) The keyless entry antenna was in the way. It is right under the bumper on the passenger side middle. The instructions talk about it but the video doesn't. Maybe some cars don't have it. Either way I removed it with a 10mm wrench. I also removed the bracket that attaches to it and when I was done reattached it with tie downs provided and according to the instructions. I did not have to remove the bumper fascia See photos. 3rd) The largest trim panel on the driver side, I had to trim a touch more than in the video to get it to fit. Overall I'm thrilled with this product and the look.
This Draw Tite for the Rav4 (mine is 2018 without auto/foot-operated hatch) is a really nice product. However, the instructions are all wrong. You basically have to remove the entire bumper and the other body parts described in the instructions. You also have to relocate a sensor not described in the instructions. Once you get past that, it's a nice looking installation; very low profile and unobtrusive.

Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2"
So far, so very good! I bought this for a 2004 Toyota Rav4. My 21 year old F-350 is rusting away and I wanted an alternate means for occasional, light duty hauling. The hitch receiver arrived on time and was carefully packaged for shipment. Metal is hefty. Joints and welds look good. Had I unwrapped it before installation, I would have found the M12-1.25 bolts and studded washers which were stuffed inside the receiver proper. I also bought the wiring harness. I'm a newbie and was rather anxious about prying the plastic body panels open for wire routing. Careful review of the video accompanying the written installation instructions suggested starting at the top and working down. It was straightforward. Only glitch was that the wire bridging the driver and passenger sides was too tight for comfort. I spliced in an additional 8" and the system was working minutes later. About an hour, altogether. If I do it again, it'll be 30 minutes or less If you are considering an installation, please do review the instructions and video linked from the product page.
Good price, fast shipping and fit my 2005 rav4 like original equipment. And only took about 15 easy minutes to install

Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4"
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 - Custom Fit - Class III - 2"
Install instructions excellent! Since I was installing on 4 year old car in the North East US it took a little longer. My vehicle was missing the passenger side frame rail cover and the frame mounting holes were crud. I had to use a 12mm-1.25 thread tap with an extension to clean them. Luckily I was able save the threads so bolts torqued to specs. If not my next step would have been to drill and tap the car frame mounting holes to SAE 1/2 inch 20 thread. Since this size is just a bit larger two new SAE 1/2-20 grade 8 bolts would have done the trick. Hopefully this helps anyone with issues as I did. I love the fact that the hitch cross tubing is not visible. Nothing worse than a rusty visible hitch that is inevitable in my climate. EXCELLENT PRODUCT!
Super easy install thanks to all the videos on your site. So far so good with the hitch and bike carrier, should have done it long ago.

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.

I installed this trailer hitch on my 2018 Toyota Sienna. It is very well-built, and fit perfectly. Customer service was very responsive when I had some questions, and responded right away, both by phone and email. The instructions were very good, but could benefit from additional information regarding cutting the car’s rear trim panel. In addition to the cut that needs to be made for the trailer hitch bolting plate to go through on the driver’s side , it also needs to be cut around the main bar / receiver area. Instead of cutting a big slot for the main bar, I cut out around the receiver plates, and put drain holes in the ends that would otherwise collect water. One shortcut that I found was that I was able to move the exhaust out of the way far enough by just removing the rearmost hanger, rather than removing the two hangers as shown in the video.

Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2"
Received the receiver in a slightly dented box. Everything inside looked fine, though. When I installed it, there was a small problem: the receiver didn't quite match up with the frame bolt holes. The holes nearest the bumper could be made to fit, but the hole nearest the wheels were about 1/8" too close, and I was able to secure only one side. While prying with a breaker bar, the bolts could be fastened, so I used one hand on the breaker bar and the other on the torque wrench to finally get it installed. It feels very sturdy, and looks fine. I have confidence that it will work well, but it would have been nice if it actually fit the car it was designed for.
I chose the trailer hitch receiver by Curt over Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite for three reasons. One, the receiver design has a more finished look, especially around the tailpipe. Two, after watching the installation videos for the H.H. and D-T. which both showed some alignment issues with the factory anchor holes. And three is a bonus, it was less expensive. I am very satisfied with the look, very unobtrusive, and installation was a snap. My only criticism is that I wish Curt had the extra hole for using the J-pin design locking hitch pin with the anti-rattle feature...much better than other anti-rattle hitch products. Research and ordering from etrailer.com was a breeze...a very satisfied customer.

Missing is the filler plug that goes into the hitch receiver. Last curtis hitch had a rubber plug with the word curtis on it.
I ordered the Curt C13119 hitch in October when I decided to buy a 2015 CRV Touring model. I must have ordered it at the right time of day, I received the hitch the next afternoon. However, I ended up having to order my CRV. I had the hitch for three months before I could install it. I left the plastic panel in place and cut the hole with a utility knife. I started with just cutting three sides to make a flap rather than a whole. I wanted to replace as much of the cutout as I could after the install. Bending the flap to 90 degrees, I had enough room to work. After the hitch was in place, I cut a smaller piece from the flap to fit around the hitch. I then used JB KwikWeld to glue the flap in place. The hardest part for me wast getting the bolt directly above the muffler torqued down in the limited space. Thank you for the videos showing the installation. It made the process easier to watch it happen first. The quality of the Curt hitch is excellent, well made with thick paint. Much better than the U-Haul hitch I had on my last vehicle. I have referred several people to use eTrailer.com based on my experice with their website and products.
