EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2"
Ecohitch receiver arrived with no packaging on it, and parts kit shrink wrapped to it. Loses a star for ZERO protection during shipping. Receiver itself fit perfectly on a 2023 Rav4 Hybrid Woodland Edition. Used a dremel to cut the bumper fascia as directed in the instructions. Removed (3) Rearmost exhaust hangers and hung the exhaust from a ratchet strap. I’d recommend starting on the driver’s side when bolting up, as passenger side is tight. The whole process took me about 2 hours working solo. A (recommended) second installer would make the job go a lot faster. I have to go back and touch-up some paint, and the install is done. Finished install looks good. No complaints.
The hitch itself is well built. Do I think it should be double the price of the others.. probably not. I went with this hitch to have more clearance from the ground. I also didn't cut the bumper and it still looks and fits nicely without doing that. I figured if I wanted to cut it out after I could. The ONLY problem is that some of the hitch coating was scratch and rubbed off from shipping.I took some rust protection and spayed it and called it good in thos spots. Here in AZ it should last forever. I did put it up by myself using even four limbs, help it recommend. Overall shipping was fast and the hitch has quality. Should do the job and last as long as the rav4 does. If I had any downside is the price.

Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2"
This receiver hitch is heavy duty and very well made. The welds are all smooth and uniform, and the powder coating was great. The bolts and mounting hardware were shipped safely in a sealed plastic bag tucked inside the receiver tube. Install on my Nissan Truck was easy. I would recommend running the threads on the truck frame before attempting to bolt the receiver hitch in place as the factory bolt holes can get filled with dirt and grime.
Excellent fit and finish. Welds are great. Bolted right up - super easy with no problems - I bet it took only 20 minutes to install it to my 22 Frontier, using only a floor jack to support out and a 19mm socket. Shipping was super fast, 2 days. Both the product and etrailer are highly recommended.
