My hitch arrived in 3 working days. Took about half an hour to put it on. Very happy.
Fast shipping, easy install. Took approx 15 minutes by myself. Did not have to lower spare tire. It fit perfectly on my 2011 F150 STX 4x4. Very happy with purchase.
Install was very straightforward and quick. Didn’t even have to put on a lift or lower exhaust or anything. Hitch looks very professional, and I have used it extensively to haul heavy loaded trailers of hay and my 5k lb camper (up and down the mountains in the Ozarks). Absolutely a great value and good choice if adding a hitch to a vehicle that did not previously have one.
I was very happy with delivery, the only concern I have is shown in the photograph with on side of the bracket (Both Brackets Are the same way) not having a weld, thinking this hitch is secured with 4ea grade 8 bolts that the brackets would be 100% welded out.
My question is, was this a mistake or is it the way all of the hitches are made?
I ordered this hitch on a Wednesday night, I chose the free shipping option instead of the more speedy 3 to 5 day paid for option. It arrived on my door step by that Friday at 11 a.m.! Less than 48 hrs. later! The quality of packaging was excellent. It came in a well built box completely protected. A side note, I used to work at UPS and saw many a trailer hitch come through with virtually no packaging. The installation was easy as it gets. I watched the excellent installation video, although I did not really need it. Took longer to get the tools out than it did to install. I was by myself so I used my hydraulic jack to lift and hold the hitch in place while I easily bolted the four bolts on. Etrailer far exceeded my expectations.
Is hefty and well built. Fitment was spot on. Increasingly truck's tongue weight capacity from 500lbs to 1,000lbs is a game changer.
I had mine for over 1 year now and it works GREAT. They did a great job on installing the hitch.
Curt product was here in a couple days and the fit was spot on. Very happy with your company and easy installation. Thank you!
I thought it was odd that it wasn't welded all the way around the center mounting tabs. Also had a couple of chips in the paint even though it was well packaged.
Hitch seems very well made. Welds are uniform, gussets and tabs are heavier than the truck frame. Bolts are grade 8. Fit was close with enough space to install easy.
Installed on a 2013 F150 truck. I did not bother to remove the spare tire.
The reason I did not give a 5 is minor. The one page of Instructions are technically correct but I feel lack a warning on installation. etrailer as part of the order sent an email with a question hot line which might alleviate the concern but I didn't bother to find out.
The issue, is hard to explain in words and I only note it so others can be careful.
The hitch is attached to the truck with four grade 8 bolts. Two of the bolts use two large holes in the frame (ACCESS HOLE on instructions). They are much larger than the 1/2 bolts. So to use these mount points they create a bushing out of two round washers and a large square washer (see picture). This is an adequate design if correctly installed. The problem is with the tolerances on the parts if you’re not careful when tightening one of the round washers may pinch on the edge of the access hole. It will seem tight (110 ft lbs is a lot of torque) but under trailering load a slight shift will move this washer and cause the bolt to be loose. The instruction say to "periodically check to be sure all fasteners are tight...". How many do?
I noticed a slight space between the hitch and the truck frame when the bolts were tight and didn’t like it. What I did was back off on the bolts and wiggled the hitch until I felt the washers center in the larger frame hole then completed the torqueing to spec. I also used LOC-TITE on the bolts.
So if you see any space between the hitch and the truck frame when the bolts are tight you might have this issue and have a loose bolt later that may go unnoticed.
My husband wanted to haul some heavy equipment from OK to TX but the truck to be used did not have a trailer hitch. A friend recommended etrailer.com. We were amazed at the quantity and quality of products.
We ordered a trailer hitch and soon received an email that our shipping status had been upgraded free of charge. The hitch arrived faster than a jackrabbit on moonshine.
My husband said it was the nicest hitch he'd ever seen, and the install was smooth. Unexpectedly, he found the perfect lathe for sale in Wisconsin. He just left to pick it up and has total faith in this hitch.
Thanks for the great price, great product, and great communication. We are fans forever.
Got the trailer hitch fast for my 2014 F150 STX and it was easy to install.

This is the forth trailer hitch I have installed on four different trucks. It is the best quality of them all and would recommend ti to anyone. Also purchased a Curt Trailer Brake Controller at the same time which was easy to install and works better then any I have previously owned , Great online source and people to work with.
Well built receiver. However, i had an existing hitch and through trial and error had to cut out the factory bumper brackets to accommodate new receiver. The bumper step support and 7 pin electrical tab from the old receiver was cut off and tack welded onto this new receiver. While well built and very thick powder coat, I wish these provisions were supplied or discussed with the receiver. All I see is custom fit
good price fast shipping
The receiver hitch I ordered from you came much quicker than I expected and I really appreciate the fast shipping. Luckily I had a little free time and got right after it. I started the installation at 3:49 pm and took the completion photo at 4:04 pm. I was amazed at how well the hitch was engineered to fit and how quick and easy it was for me to do. Even though I was alone and working in my grass yard. Thank you for your fast service
Quick and easy install on our 2009 Ford F-150 XLT, perfect fit.
Haven’t towed anything yet but the install went just like the video. I highly suggest you watch the video prior to doing the install. And yes, lower the spare tire for the extra room, and check the air since you have it down! I had just a slight issue as the flanges on my pickup were slightly wider than the space between the flanges on the hitch but with a pry bar and little muscle I was able to get it started and then in “slid” on up into place. Remember the hitch flanges both go to the outside of the truck flanges. It looks great installed. So far, all is good.
Arrived on time in good condition, all the parts were there with simple enough instructions. Everything is simple until you start working it, then reality changes all things. I used my 1 ton jack on numerous boards to align and do a test fit. A little jiggling and holes aligned. Biggest problem was not enough room for tools. Spare tire did not cooperate, couldn’t get it to come down (another project) which would have been helpful but was still able to install tow bar. All in all I’m very happy and pleased with the product and the instillation process.
Got Curt hitch installed quickly and no problem. Fit exactly as stated, will recommend these folks to all my friends

Still great
My product was delivered on time and is exactly what I ordered. Installed in about 20 min, I will definitely be using etrailer again
Arrived quickly and in good condition. Easy to install, only took about 15 minutes by myself. Extremely sturdy and looks great on my truck. Have already put it to use today and it will continue to see lots of use. Thanks etrailer for a great product at a great price .
Easy install, looks great and I feel much better with this setup. Definitely drop spare tire to torque bolts down.
Great fit. Easy to install. Done quickly as advertised.
Great quality product! Easy install!

This hitch is exactly as advertised. It is a well made product that bolts on easily with no welding required. I installed it by myself in about 30 minutes. It is handling the weight of my new trailer with a tongue weight of 900 lbs on a 2014 F-150. I go out on the road with confidence that my rig is secure with this hitch.
