There were some UPS delivery issues, damaged in shipment. But, etrailer.com jumped right on sending out another shipment after it was apparent that UPS would not complete the delivery.

The installation took longer, maybe 1-1/2 hours, because I did not have all my tools ready and I was working on the concrete floor in the dark to outside with a portable shop light. Everything fit well and it looks great.

The 2" drop ball mount was the perfect height for my 2019 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. I love the look of the Curt black insert that makes the hitch looks like it belongs on the car, nothing embarrassing at all.

Anything negative? Maybe. The flat plate was a little difficult to hook onto with the UHaul safety chains on a 5x8 trailer. That's hardly a negative, though, and I wouldn't have spent more on another brand choice because of this. Happy happy!



by:

Great fit and finish on this kit. So nice to be able to tow things with my Forester now. I thought I had an issue but figured out it was user error pretty quick, but only after I contacted etrailer for help. I heard back within 30 minutes of emailing and by that time I figured out my blunder. They were extremely helpful and responsive and were set on fixing the problem I thought I had. I have used etrailer for several different purchases over the past couple years and every time I have been thrilled with the service and the quality of product.



by:

Excellent receiver kit! Combined with the curt trailer hitch and the oem Mazda trailer harness add on, this is legit!



by:

While I haven't yet used it, this kit seems to be exactly what I need. Fit and finish are excellent, and packaging is most convenient for those of us who only occasionally use a hitch and want to store the kit when not in use. Thanks! Highly recommend.



by:

After a slight issue that was immediately identified by etrailer, they quickly resolved it, and I received everything in 4 days. Great customer service!



by:

It’s nice to not need to torque the ball onto the hitch.



by:

As always, Curt products are well built. The style and finish are beautiful. Never have any problems with fitment.
Searching and ordering online was a breeze. My only complaint is the search filter. It is not very user friendly.
This kit has everything you need and more. I especially love the locking hitch pin. I use a lot of public boat ramps and over the years I have had my hitch stolen multiple times. With this locking pin, I wont have to worry about that anymore.



by:

First time installing a hitch receiver went really well with the included instructions and videos. If I need to get another receiver this will be my place to go!



by:

It’s as advertised, a hitch assembly. I do like the rubber hitch hole cover, it has a snug fit. The lock seems kind of weak at first use but I’ll give it time.



by:

This started kit has everything you need in one nice package to get towing! Very nice to not have to piece everything together separately. And it costs much less by getting it all together in one handy package! Thank you Alyssa for all your help!



by:

Easy installation



by:

GREAT! Ball/mount assembly kit received in excellent condition.
(Note: I had also received the hitch assembly a week or so earlier)

Impressed with quality, fit and performance of product.

Perfect set-up for my bike rack used on my 2020 Subaru Outback.

Will definitely use etrailer.com for future purchases.



by:

Does the job it’s made to do. Exactly as pictured and is great. It does take so getting used to putting the locking bar thing in and securing it.

Oh, my goodness, thats annoying! I am sorry it is giving you issues right off the bat. I will have our customer service team reach out to you!



by:

Super easy to install! Very strong. I installed the hitch and the wiring for a trailer in about an hour. Zero problems getting it to line up. Great product.



by:

I'm going to be moving soon and I have a new truck. I bought a hitch kit and extendable rear view mirrors for towing. They were well packaged and delivered quicker than I expected. You get something extra with your order. What really impressed me was the people. These people clearly LOVE what they do. You get people who actually care, with every order. That's something you can't buy and they give it away with every order.



by:

Easy installation, low profile and excellent quality. Exactly what I was looking for in a hitch receiver for our 2021 Pilot.



by:

excellant watched a bunch of videos made it look hard but was installed in 15 minutes



by:

Looks fine. Fair price for the hitch, ball, and locking pin.



by:

I normally keep a complete towing set in my automobiles and needed a new set for my wife's car. After some research, I decided to go with the Curt Towing Starter Kit. The quality is excellent and every aspect of the hitch and lock worked flawlessly. I can highly recommend this Curt starter kit to anyone needing a complete receiver hitch kit. Thanks once again!!

It’s been a year since purchasing this great Curt towing set. This car has a mobility lift installed, so I only keep the kit handy if towing is required. In the past year, I have not had to tow anything with this vehicle and the set has been stored safely in the case it came with and is still essentially new. Nice towing set!



by:

Wow e trailer is the best it was so easy to install my hitch and wiring harness just make sure you have 1 extra person to set in the hitch and bolt up, and borrow a torque wrench if needed everything was real easy and the videos are very helpful thanks e-trailer for having the videos as well when you purchase items it makes it great. A+ for delivery too got my hitch delivered fast to with everything. Keep up the good work



by:

Purchased this product one year ago. It's still holding up without any issues! I would definitely recommend this product. The installation process was about 3 hours being done alone.



by:

Kit has everything you need to get on the road hauling your trailer.



by:

The service was great. The agent quickly located the preferred part seamlessly. Thank you etrailer.

Just got the hitch mounted, but all is good to this point

    Yes, the two trailer hitches we carry that will fit to your 2003 BMW X5 are the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13162 and the Draw-Tite Max-Frame trailer hitch receiver # 75492. I recommend the Draw-Tite hitch it will be easier to install I have a link to the installation of the Draw-Tite hitch.

  • Differences in Curt and etrailer Hitches for a 2022 Toyota Tacoma
    The main difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C13264 and the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver item # e98905 is the matte black powder coat finish of the etrailer hitch versus the traditional glossy finish of the Curt hitch. Other than that these hitches are identical. Both are custom fit and bolt directly to your 2022 Toyota Tacoma's frame with included hardware. I recommend the etrailer # e98905 hitch because the matte finish will hide dirt and paint chips better. I...

  • Best Trailer Hitch For 2021 Honda CR-V For Bike Rack/Cargo Carrier and Utility Trailer?
    I prefer the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C13397. This is a custom fit class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a tongue weight (TW) rating of 525 lbs. which matches that of the rating given to the CR-V by Honda. So this will allow you to take full advantage of the OEM listed TW rating when using your bike rack and cargo carrier, at least up to the point of the rated weight limitation of the accessory is met.

  • Recommended 7-Way Wiring Harness and Brake Controller for a 2021 Ford Transit T-250 w/out Tow Packag
    Sounds like you talked to someone at a dealership. That could not be more incorrect you can definitely add the necessary wiring harnesses and a brake controller to your 2021 Ford Transit T-250 to tow a trailer. Since you do not have the factory towing package you'll need to add two separate wiring harnesses as there isn't just one that will get you the 7-way connector you need to control your trailer's brakes. The first one is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C56327....

  • Will the Curt # C22UR Disable My Hands-Free Lift Gate Sensor on My 2022 Toyota Sienna?
    While the Curt Hitch # C22UR will not completely disable your hands-free lift gate sensor, it will partially block it. One way to get around the blockage is by swinging your foot a bit farther with the hitch installed. The sensor will still activate. If you have plans to tow with your Sienna, I recommend the T-One Wiring Harness # TK69FR along with a ball/ball mount like the ones included in the Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45534.
