    I'm going to tap two screw holes in beam and attach curt mounting bracket. It would be nice if the holes were included with the trailer hitch.

    I nolonger have that vehicle, but when I traded it in, the curt mounting bracket still looked like a factory job



    by:

    Great products. Good installation instructions. Wiring was plug and play.

    I wish you had a bracket to hold the C42CR on top of the receiver like the one I built from 1/2” flat stock. See below.



    by:

    After one year of use in pulling cargo and motorcycle trailers, this bracket has held up perfectly. No issues whatsoever.



    by:

    We have put the trailer hitch to good use since we got it. Right away, we rented a large flatbed trailer from uhaul to move 4 hours to our new home. We've also rented other trailers to move furniture we purchased, appliances, etc. The trailer hitch was easy to install, very easy try put on and take off and it is extremely durable. Zero complaints!



    by:

    Good price, quick delivery, well made,,,,,as always eTrailer is our go to provider!



    by:

    Bracket installed easily and the trailer plug fit well. Bracket is sturdy …. Holding up fine … no rust



    by:

    Guys, I can't get past the horribly bad packaging for this shipment. I was away when this arrived at my house. My neighbor was kind enough to put the box in my garage. He sent pics showing the horrible condition of the box and that the trailer hitch had poked out of several areas. I have yet to open it, but have to assume the contents are damaged and may have some parts or hardware missing. THE BOX THIS WAS SHIPPED IN WAS NOWHERE NEAR BEING UP TO THE TASK!!!!

    Yikes! It does indeed sound like the box had a rough trip. I will have our Customer Service team contact you. If anything was damaged or lost when we can replace it.



    by:

    Great product the fit was perfect and the hardware kit made the install easy



    by:

    this bracket holds the flat plug exactly as it should and it mounted to the supplied bracket on the hitch



    by:

    This bracket was made for the Curt wire harness. Looks greats!



    by:

    Good for keeping the 4 way connector on the car from dragging on the ground



    by:

    I am unable to use this bracket at this time due to a back ordered item I have been waiting on from etrailer for a month now. Hard to believe etrailer can not source a receiver and a wire bundle for a month. I'll probably return the bracket since I can't get the hitch I ordered from etrailer.

    Thanks



    by:

    etrailer.com is consistently awesome! Not only do they have the parts I want at prices I feel are fair, but they've got a ton of great review and installation videos that are super helpful.



    by:

    Easy and simple. Only gave 4 stars because item did not come with mounting bolts. Easy fix with bolts I had on hand. No drilling required because it was compatible with the Draw Tite Class III (76034) I also purchased from etrailer.

    No issues since the day I mounted it.



    by:

    It's worth the money to purchase this when installing the receiver. It gives the receiver a clean look! No hanging wire harness! Thanks again Etrailer!



    by:

    Item #C42CR was not in the delivery package. It has not been received.
    The hitch was received in good order and was installed as hoped. I am extremely pleased with the tow hitch. I highly recommend it.

    Great to hear that about the hitch! I will have our customer service team reach out to you about the missing bracket.



    by:

    This is not the first time I have purchased from etrailer.com and I strongly suspect that it will not be the last. I have found that they have great products, reasonable prices, ship promptly, keep you informed of how your order is progressing and stand behind their products.



    by:

    Was advise the originally ordered part was on back order, switched to this item per etrailer recommendations. arrived very quick, and went together as advertized. What a GREAT bunch you have there. thanks for looking out for me, and ps I saved some money using the recommended replacement.
    GOOD JOB!!



    by:

    Was easy to install and it made for a neat install for my trailer wiring hookup.



    by:

    Simple easy installation and very functional. Only reason for 4 star vs 5 was i had to go purchase a clamp. I used a squard shaped clamp i found to mount firmly to Receiver shaft



    by:

    Thank you for reaching out..Im very disappointed in this purchase i feel absolutely ripped off because of the lack of clarity given by the sales department and the wiring is to short…You can see by the pictures it looks so cheap!

    Didn’t use.

    Was there a specific reason you never used the bracket? Did it not fit right? We have heard of some neighbors not being able to get their harness to fit.



    by:

    Really like the design. 4way plug bracket attached to bottom of bumper.
    Used 2 small bolts with locking nuts.
    The bumper on the sportage is about 1/4inch thick,so plenty of support.
    Plug just snaps in,no more hanging wire
    Looks nice and organized



    by:

    Follow the great video that is available thru etrailer website and you will not have any install issues..purchase the wiring kit and bracket and the install will go as planned. The products are built to last and fit is perfect..
    READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS before install...



    by:

    It doesn’t come With the self driving screws, but the bracket was perfect for what I needed. Fortunately I had some self driving bolts that worked perfectly. I believe 7/16 or 3/8 was the size of the self driving bolts that I used
