Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2"
The hitch receiver came in a sturdy oversized box containing no padding to secure the hitch, possibly explaining the two large holes in the box. There was no immediately visible damage to the hitch but when I measured the distance between the mounting flanges at the forward and rear corresponding edges there was about 1/2 inch difference, suggesting that they were bent presumably during shipping. Fortunately, I was able to mount it to my 2018 RAV4 Hybrid Limited without the need to bend anything. The installation went pretty smoothly except for some fiddling to disconnect the muffler hanger, and I broke two of the plastic fittings that hold a plastic panel in place over the driver side mounting area. I replaced the plastic fittings with some bolts and nuts so no worries. This was a 1-man install job which I accomplished by using a floor jack to raise the hitch into position. Shipping was super fast! I received it the day after I ordered it. All in all I think I will be really happy with this purchase.
The package came fully opened on top and the item Curt C13149 got all this chip all over it. The shiny topcoat is almost worn out. I'm thinking of returning this since this item looks like used already although the bolts are not.

etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2"
Excellent product. I am a 68 year old woman with no jack and I installed the hitch by myself. So don't be scared, you can do this. Took me a few minutes, blocked it up and then installed with a torque wrench and also installed the bracket for the wiring connector. The wiring was pretty easy also. I did watch videos. They were great.
Product was great price and packaged well. It is solid and will allow for the bike rack to go onto the RAV4. There were a few issues that could easily trip up a novice/1st-timer: 1) The unit was overall approx 3/16" too narrow. So had to use a prybar to 'flex' it to get holes to line up. This was by far the longest part of the install (hence 4-star vs 5-star), 2) The photo for the trimming of the plastic was almost unusable, until spending some time with the part on the ground in front of me. A better picture (even in black and white) would be a good help.

Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2"
We are very happy with this hitch! After purchasing a few tools (and borrowing one from our neighbor) we got it put on in about 1 1/2 hours. Works great, fabulous quality, and nice company to work with!
Easy installation on Subaru Forester, installed two similar to this on an Outback and Ascent. Instructions were great!
What our customers are saying:
"Unbelievable, I ordered a hitch adaptor on Monday and it was delivered on Wednesday. Now that is service."
