I went to have a Curt trailer hitch installed (a different model) at a local U-Haul. They had a problem with it fitting (bolt pattern did not match, it was off by about an 1/8”). They tried two others, same thing, told me they couldn’t do it. I decided to do it myself and found this one (the model U-Haul tried to install was listed here that it would not fit). This one was listed to fit, but when I went to install it, I had the same issue with this model, so I drilled it out and it now fits great!
The product itself looks to be well built and a good quality product. As for the packaging and the shipping end that's not so great. As a lot of the reviews state the box was damaged and the hitch had some marks on it where it looks like it was dragged. I know the shipping is not the point of this review but boxing up the hitch could be done with better care. The box was way to big for the hitch and allowed it to move around in the box and puncture it, this exposed parts of the hitch to the outside. Luckily the fasteners were taped to the hitch so they were still in the box.
Fit on my 2023 Chevy Equinox. One hole had to be elongated for perfect fit. Works well for my Hitch Carrier during Deer Season
Etrailer made this install really easy for me with easy to follow instructions. Product quality is amazing as well and this hitch will probably outlast the vehicle itself.
The hitch bike carrier is great! It’s so much easier to load and unload.
Before purchasing the hitch eTrailer was quick to answer my questions. This boosted my confidence in the purchase. The hitch arrived within a few days of ordering. Inspection of the package showed all parts present and no damage. I plan to install the hitch myself once better weather arrives. So, I cannot remark on fit now. Available instructions and videos make installation seem straightforward. I'll update this post at a later date.

Can't wait to hear your update, Glenn! If you need any help with the install you can always reach out to us. We are here to help :)
…still hanging on…. You might wish to suggest coil spring strengthened to light weight ( I have an equinox) vehicles. Depending on the added weight (I’m using it for a mobility scooter) the rear of cargo carrier can scrape the roadway.
Otherwise still “A okay” ??
The hitch works great but the shipping is lacking. The box was heavily damaged and it scraped off paint off of the hitch. Cant blame etrailer for shipper mishandling but the hitch could have been packed with extra protection on the corners. I can't imagine I'm the first to complain about hitch paint being chipped off due to shipping. Everything else was great; all hardware intact, how-to videos very helpful, easy to install.
Although the fit was great and installation easy, I didn't like how low the hitch sits. It bottoms out every time I hit a bump.
MASSIVE, beefy construction with an excellent fit and finish. Good printed instructions provided and etrailer.com's excellent video make for clear simple installation. Excellent quality nut and bolt hardware in the package. This hitch (installed on a 2020 Equinox), replaced another etrailer.com hitch, installed on a 2003 Santa Fe. When I retired the Santa Fe this month, that hitch, 20 years old, looks and works perfectly. I fully expect many years of safe towing with this new, impressive Curt hitch.

After one year, the hitch continues to function perfectly. The finish looks like new. I am 100 satisfied with every aspect of the CURT hitch. I continue to recommend CURT as an after market hitch, and consider etrailer.com as the best source for quality products, fair prices, and trusted technical information.
Works great. The video of the installation instructions was excellent .
The hitch assembly itself seems sturdy and will work as intended. The installation was horrible for a few reasons.
-The website says no drilling required and that is a lie. The access hole is not large enough to get the bolt hardware through, so I then had to go buy a $60 (1 1/8") step drill bit to make it larger.
- I was installing this on a 2023 Chevy Equinox and I ran into an issue with installing the bolts in the wrong holes on the driver side because there are 4 holes, where as the passenger side has three holes. I ended up picking the wrong one and had to rerun two bolts. It is very difficult to get the bolt hardware back through the access opening. Then you are forced to take the fish wire string off the bolt so you can run it to the correct hole, and it does not thread as nicely the second time.
-The directions do not say you need to slide the driver side hitch into a small channel on the car frame, so that the rest of the bolts holes will match up and the hitch will be level. I got one bolt started on the passenger side first, only to find out I would have to take it off and correct this. This lead to having to thread the fish wire once again back onto a bolt, and it is very difficult to do without the bolt trying to slide up and get lost in the frame.
-The third issue I ran into was due to the second and third time use of the fish wire and getting the bolt and fish wire to fit in the holes of the hitch frame. I ended up having to use the step drill bit to make the hole bigger to have enough room to get the bolt with fish wire to drop down through the opening. I could have risked it and taken the fish wire off the bolt, but if it got knocked up into the frame then it would be gone forever.
In conclusion, the hitch quality seems fine but the installation directions were terrible and led me down a bad path with not disclosing that driver side channel in the car frame that you must slide the hitch into first. I'll take ownership of putting the bolts in the wrong holes on the driver side. My hope is the instructions can get updated with all my feedback to help the next person. Lastly, I think the hitch is very low to the ground and I hope I do not ruin my $2000 bike rack when pulling into a parking lot that has a severe transition from the highway.

This hitch does call for the access hole to be enlarged to allow for the hardware to pass through. I recommend taking a look at the video install that we have on a 2023 Chevy Equinox.
This trailer hitch is the best.. Easy to install yourself and does the job perfectly. I use mine often..
I’m 70 years old and I had no problem installing the hitch by myself using a floor jack. I just followed the instructions. It took me 1hr 45 minutes. It fit perfectly.
Excellent videos made the installation easy. I has some trouble fishing the bolts in place but mananged.
I installed myself with the help of a floor jack. The fishing wires are a stroke of genius.
I was not sure if I could install the hitch myself but it was no problem thanks to the video on etrailer. It saved me a lot of money and trouble.
OUTSTANDING!

Perfect no problems
Great product and easy to install
It was very easy to install and your price was good also I checked out your video on that and it was great help on seeing what I was getting into. Thanks for being that kind of vendor
Perfect fit - easy install
Fairly easy to install
Easy install,solid. Good price
It was a very easy install for doing it in my driveway by myself. This is my first time using Curt so we will see how it goes over time. This is my third install so I’m getting rather good at it. Now I can get my kayak back out.

The hitch is solid, I did the install by myself and it took me about 1.5 hrs without a lift or any fancy tools to install it.That also included removing the rear trim for the bumper to access the hitch better and reinstall. Directions were pretty straight forward as a DIY person with mechanical experience. We have used it numerous times and its a really good hitch and well priced and well built. The only thing I didnt realize when I installed it is how low it sits compared to the OEM for $700. We have draw bars that bring the trailer up to level so not an issue, and it doesnt drag on the ground when leaving a sloped driveway like our old mini van did.
