Oh my goodness! We can definitely get that out for you. Customer Service will be in touch.

Keep with spare tire out of weather to prevent rust.



by:

Every Curt product we've purchased over the years has been perfect. Quality, fitment, price, etc has been spot on. The Curt products are far better made than Reese and Draw-Tite. Not even close!



by:

Worked perfectly.

Super easy installation
and it carried a U-haul 5x8 trailer 1000 miles with almost full capacity on tow-limits.

A little disappointed that the connecting rod doesn't fit perfectly into the receiver hitch. So, when there is no weight on the ball mount, it is wobbly and makes an annoying metal-to-metal clinking noise whenever you go over a ditch. You can easily correct it with a piece of cardboard stuffing for cushioning or just take it off when not it use.

Great piece of equipment, works perfectly! Super happy with the purchase.



by:

This is one of the finest companies to do business with I’ve ever ordered from. Do not hesitate for a moment to order from this exceptional company. You will never be disappointed.



by:

Easy installation, good manual. No problems on day to day use.



by:

Everything arrived pretty quick and the install wasn't too difficult for 1 person (would've helped to have an extra set of hands). Took a couple tries to line everything up and realize that certain brackets needed to be unbolted before the hitch would align (tow hook on passenger side, and a couple near the rear driver's side exhaust hanger).
Minimal trimming required for the underside of the rear bumper plastic on the driver's side to make room on an 05 wrx wagon. Also needed at least 1 extra long exhaust hanger (kartboy) for the rear to make everything level with my 3" turbo back APS exhaust.
Haven't gotten a chance to tow with it yet, but it feels solid.



by:

Excellent product. Good professional advise given so that I bought the right product to fit my existing hitch. Courteous, professional service. High quality, good value product. Fast shipping at reasonable cost. Highly recommended. If if need other products this is the place



by:

Works great, better than an adapter.

Just what I needed for my car

Great service, very helpful and friendly. If I need anything else in that line I will certainly use them

Been no trouble, it was easy to fit.



by:

Very heavy this product is. I was very surprised when I picked up the box it came in and felt the weight, which makes me glad I bought a bag to carry it in. The last hitch I ever got, from another plac, because I needed it in a pinch for my last car during a move, wasn't even close to being as heavy and it was about the same size and had the same weight capacity. The metal on that one also didn't seem right either, didn't have the smooth coating this one does. I am quite confident this ball mount from Curt, who has been in this business for decades, will easily take the weight of my trailer, which I use for things like mulch and stone, and then some.

Of course I don't ever plan to over load it, but if something ever happens that requires me to make fast lane changes, I am confident the ball mount won't give out on me. I will still use good safety chains though, I'd be foolish not to. If it's one thing I learned i life, anything can happen no matter how much you prepare ahead of time.

So far its worked well for my trailer, making mulch and plant runs much easier

After a year using my Curt Towing kit I’m extremely pleased. Great, durable quality product. Thanks for fast efficient service.



by:

My hitch ball fits like a glove into the receiver I installed this summer on my 2003 Suburu Baja. The ordering experience was easy and inspiring. Why can't all websites be so intelligent? I haven't used the hitch yet, but it's solid as a rock so I have no doubts all will be well.



by:

Pin broke with smallest UHaul trailer (unloaded) on back, dropping the hitch and trailer in the road. Fixed it with a better pin and hitch works fine now.



by:

Easy to slide in and out of the hitch receiver, and it doesn't even rattle around and create noise when I'm towing.



by:

The hitch install was easy, the electrical was a bit more tedious, but all is working well.



by:

Quality product, well made, but design could be improved. The square bar that slides into the receiver on the car/truck is too long, resulting in the hitch ball being about a foot behind the bumper, at least it is on 2004 Ford Explorer. It becomes a trip, knee, or hinge hazard if not removed after towing.



by:

Excellent quality



by:

Works good



by:

Good deal for this high quality combo.



by:

Love it ! Great product for the price



by:

Hitch looks great. Staff was very helpf ul



by:


Etrailer products arrive exactly as
described, they are easy to install and they are manufactured to a very high quality. I installed these on my Honda Accord and it was flawless.

I highly recommend them - David

  • Availability Of A Class 3 Hitch For A 2002 Buick Century
    I do have an option for you, but we do not carry a class 3 hitch for a 2002 Buick Century. The only hitch available is a class 2 hitch like the # C12239 which has a 1-1/4" square receiver and a 3,500 lb towing capacity. You can absolutely still use this hitch for a small trailer. You will simply need a ball mount to go with the 1-1/4" hitch. For that I recommend the Curt starter kit # C45147 which comes with a draw bar, pin and clip and a 2" trailer ball. We also offer the 4 flat wiring...

    I would be happy to help you find a ball mount for your 2021 Honda HR-V. I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit item # C45147. This kit includes a 9-3/4" long powder coated ball mount with a 3/4" rise and a 1-1/4" drop; a pre-torqued 2" hitch ball; and a pin and clip. If you need a 7/8" ball I recommend the Draw-Tite Drawbar for 1-1/4" Hitches item # 36051 and the 1-7/8" Hitch Ball item # 19256.

  • What is the Difference between the Curt C12188 and the Draw-Tite # 36660 for My 2021 Ford EcoSport?
    You are correct that for your 2021 Ford EcoSport there are two trailer hitch receiver options, the Curt # C12188 and Draw-Tite # 36660. These hitches are very similar as they both share a similar design meaning they have roughly the same installation difficulty. Both hitches have a 1-1/4" receiver opening, and both also have the same 350lb tongue weight and 3,500lb trailer weight rating. With that said I recommend going with the Draw-Tite # 36660 due to it not requiring an stabilization...

Not only will this hitch provide you with 2,000 pounds of gross towing weight, it also comes with a high-quality gloss outer coat over the base powder coat which gives you superior rust and corrosion resistance. It is also assembled here in the U.S.A. As far as wiring, you need specific wiring depending on what model of Prius you have. If you have front-wheel drive, you need the Curt T-Connector # C56353.

  • Correct T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector for a 2022 Mazda CX-30
    The correct T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector for a 2022 Mazda CX-30 is part # TK67FR which offers a plug-in-play fit. In order to complete your towing setup you'll also need a trailer hitch and ball mount/hitch ball, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C49CR which is bolt-on and the Curt Towing Starter Kit part # C45147 which is a complete kit that has everything else you need to hit the road with your trailer.

  • Can the EcoHitch # 306-X7310 be Used to Tow with a 2017 Volkswagen Golf GTI
    The EcoHitch # 306-X7310 has a 2,000 lb trailer weight rating and a max tongue weight rating of 200 lbs. As long as your loaded trailer motorcycle doesn't exceed these limits you can use this trailer hitch for your trailer. Something else you will need to check out is the weight capacity of your 2017 Volkswagen Golf GTI itself. You should be able to find this on the door jamb of your driver's side door.

  • Is There A Fixed Straight Hitch For a 2" Receiver With a 2" Hitch Ball?
    A Tri-Ball mount like the MaxxTow # MT70021 is going to be the only style ball mounts we have with no rise. You can use the Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 2923 in the rise position with a 2" Ball # 63845. This will only sit 3/4" above the top of the receiver opening. It would be the closest we have to the Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45147 you found.

    Since both trailer hitches for your 2016 Acura TLX, Curt # C11535 and Draw-Tite # 24942, have a 200 lb tongue weight, even if there was a carrier that fit the smaller 1-1/4" receiver the weight of both the carrier and your Honda CRF150F dirt bike would be well over that. This means that the only option for you to transport your dirt bike with that vehicle is by towing it with a trailer.

    With the Draw-Tite Hitch - 1-1/4" # DT24MR on your 2021 Hyundai Venue, I recommend the T-One Wiring Harness # TK64VR. The Tekonsha T-One comes with a better-quality converter box than the Curt T-Connector # C89CR. The T-One provides your trailer with basic turn signal, brake light, and running light functions. To complete the setup, I also recommend a ball mount/ball like the ones that come with the Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45147. This kit comes with a hitch pin and a 2-inch ball.

  • Is There a Ball Mount for a 1-1/4 Inch Hitch With 1 Inch of Rise
    The good news is that the additional 1/4" of rise you are trying to obtain is likely not going to be necessary when towing a trailer. The vehicle should sag a bit once you attach the trailer so more than likely, the ball mount you have now will work just fine for you. I would not worry about the additional 1/4" or so when towing a trailer as it will not have any negative effect. The bad news is that we do not offer a high rise hitch ball that will fit the Curt Towing Starter Kit for...
