This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.by: Marc07/26/2023
Packaging did not cover area surrounding where you attach the bolts and washers -so there was quite a bit of coating that was damaged-likely during the shipping process. Why not completely wrap the entire hitch??? Wont this damage hasten rust???
by: Ronald03/04/2024
The hitch seems to be a high quality piece of work. It is certainly heavy - esp for a one-person installation (hint, get blocks or something to help position into place. The fit is snug - so go slow and check the alignment as you go. It’ll get there, but takes a certain amount of trust in the process.
The only criticism would be the packaging - I think other reviewers have noted similar. The hitch and the wiring harness came securely taped together in a heavy plastic bag instead of cardboard or other similar packaging. I did not find any obvious visual damage to the hitch - tho the wiring harness box was a bit crushed. So clearly it works okay to package and ship this way (and it cuts down on cardboard waste) but it was mildly disconcerting to receive it that way. Again, the hitch was fine and it’s beefy enough to handle the UPS guy, but the optics are notable.

Even though I have not yet installed this hitch, I have purchased from E-Trailer in the past and I'm confident it will be as advertised. Great shipping.
by: Steve10/10/2023
Shipping the product needs to be addressed. Product arrived very scratched and dented. Not happy and possibly will return I’m only hesitant because I’m sure it will arrive in poor condition due to the wrapping and shipping of the product. So far not too impressed.

Oh my goodness! I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you. What I recommend would be to use a rust resistant spray paint like Rustoleum to touch up the hitch. It is also useful to use down the road to help prevent rust.

2015 Toyota RAV4
First of all let me say that this is the 3rd hitch and 3rd different vehicle I have installed a similar hitch on for the purpose of a Kuat bike rack. The other two were fairly simple installations (RAV4 and Mazda CX-5). I just completed this one which was far from ‘easy’ as indicated in the instructions. There are no tolerances at all, the exhaust shrouds on the bumper are very difficult to simply move out of the way (this is given about 15 seconds in the how to video btw and made to seem very easy). Granted, it would be far easier to work on overhead with a lift, but most of us are going to be doing this on the ground or as I did with the rear tires backed onto a slightly elevated platform. Either way, the shrouds are very tricky to unbolt and even after unbolted the exhaust is difficult to pull down and out of the way. I feel very fortunate to have been able to install this myself and put back together without damaging either shroud. The passenger side shroud when put back in place rests tightly against the hitch, and I am hoping that this will not result in any rattling in the future. That being said, I don’t want to take away from the quality of the hitch, I have always been happy with them and see no difference here in that regard. My only caution for others is with the difficulty of installing on an NX300 with the exhaust shrouds.

2018 Lexus NX 300h
I ordered this for a 2018 Lexus NX300. The only one etrailer had listed was for a NX300h. I called to verify that it would on my vehicle before purchasing and was told that it would. This is the second trailer hitch that I obtained from etrailer and I installed them both. The first one was for an 2011 Acura and it installed exactly according to the directions. The one of the Lexus was a little more difficult because it had exhaust trim plates that had to be loosened in order to get the muffler assembly to drop low enough to position the hitch. Since this was a new car I took my time figuring out how to get those assemblies to come off without breaking anything. Since I did thing in the garage without a jack it made the installation a little more challenging and lengthy however I'm pleased with the result!

Great hitch
by: Nathan02/05/2022
Works great, somewhat of a challenge to install yourself (not recommended, get a friend). I followed the installation video but used cinder blocks and blocks of wood to shim and slowly lift it into place and align the bolt holes. The assembly is super solid, paint looks to be bomb-proof, and the hitch looks natural on the car. Works well with a bike rack.

Ive had this for a year. Is still awesome.
by: Steve w10/11/2023
Shipping needs to be addressed. Hitch came scrapped up. The install was super hard. I would caution people to try at home unless you have a lift. I was unable to get the exhaust back on and ended up driving to repair shop and they charged me a $50 hoist fee.

2018 Lexus NX 300h
Have a 2018 NX300h hybrid with kick sensor. It fits. The instruction is just like the video. There is no exhaust port to disconnect. I did it myself. Took about 45 min. The trick I used is to use 3 paint cans and shim it up with few wood pieces.
A mistake I made is do the driver side first. Later found out on the exhaust/passenger side, there is a metal piece so it is too tight by 1-2mm. I disconnected the driver side and installed the passenger side first. Get both sides up slowly using the shims. Then screw in the passenger side first.
The downside is that the kick sensor is partially blocked. it still works but almost have to kick in between the holes chain perfectly. Anyway, consider the kick sensor will work 1 out of 10 kicks. Small price to pay. if known, would not have paid Lexus for the kick sensor. Oh well....

Thanks etrailer staff.
I placed the order on Monday night and on Thursday morning the product was delivered to my door.
Quick delivery.
Good quality.
Right size.

I’m happy with how fast the delivery was but to make you guys better, I would definitely improve on how you package the item. I received the item wrapped in plastic, and there were some tears. Yes the item is hard metal but to reduce any chance of damage it would be better if it was delivered in a box including the plastic wrapping.

This Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver (Class III - 2") is perfect! It looks great and functions flawlessly. It was easy and inexpensive to get installed. Only took 10 minutes, and I paid a car mechanic $40 to get it installed. It can carry nearly twice the weight that the OEM hitch receiver for my 2019 Lexus NX 300n AWD can. The quote I got for the OEM hitch receiver was about $1,200 total, including parts and labor, which was laughable! This hitch receiver (cost + labor) only cost 1/5 that of the OEM.

Its been a year now. This hitch receiver still looks like new and functions flawlessly. No sign of wear and tear. No sign of rust. No sign of color fading. But above all, my kick sensor to open the trunk is fully functional. As a matter of fact, this hitch receiver actually helps me to locate precisely where I should place my foot or kick in order to activate the sensor.

2018 Lexus NX 300
2018 Lexus NX 300 F-sport - This product did fit the F-sport trim on the 2018 model. It's not as easy as the video describes, however. In order to install this, you must take off the exhaust ports that are attached to the bumper. If you don't, you will not have enough clearance to get the hitch in place. I lowered the drivers side exhaust (supported with a tie-down strap) about 2 inches. Then, lifted the hitch into place on that side and held it up with a jack stand. Did the same for the other side and was barely able to get it in place. It took some maneuvering for sure. Total time - around 1.5 hours. 30 minutes of that was just to get the exhaust ports off. Good luck!

A year has gone by, and the hitch has been great. I only use it for a bike rack, but have had no issues. Still waiting to see how rusty it gets over time, but a little black spray paint works wonders. It is worth saying that some of the other comments say There are no exhaust ports to remove. That is true for HYBRIDS ONLY. All other NX300s will require either removing the ports or removing the mufflers and resonator, as one reviewer did.

The experience is so simple and amazing. Website is well organized so ordering the hitch was easy. Got the hitch within 3 days without any shipping cost. Most of the shops know how to install. Cost of hitch and installation was less than $[XX]. Highly recommend buying from this website
by: Ivan H07/21/2020
This hitch is not only quality construction, but the installation was a breeze, since it is made to exact specifications to fit the vehicle. I installed it by myself in less than an hour. We only use it for our bike rack, but I'd have no hesitation hooking up any trailer to it.

After 1 year checked the bolts about 6 months ago and last week , they did not need retightening hitch works very well. Yes I do recommend your hitches to anyone who asked about it.
by: Robbie 05/27/2020
It was challenging to install this on my car because the holes in the car where this were to be bolted on had rusted over time. You will need to clean that out thoroughly before installing this. Once cleaned, this hitch installed relatively quickly and easily. And I have to say its paid for its self two-fold. Works very well and I've encountered no issues with it since it's been installed.

- Will the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Part # C13337 Interfere with Hands Free Liftgate SensorsWe have not yet installed the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13337 on a 2018 Lexus NX 300h with the hands free liftgate sensors so I would not be able to give you an exact answer. However, almost all of the vehicle's that have the hands free liftgate sensors will still be able to retain this feature even with an aftermarket trailer hitch installed like the one above. The only issue is that you may just need to position your foot slightly left or right of the receiver tube in order...

If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a # 118652 trailer wiring harness, a # D-28 ball mount and # PC3 hitch pin and a trailer ball. For a 1-7/8 inch ball, use # 19260 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball. I've linked to an install video for the hitch you'd asked about.

- Will a Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2018 Lexus NX300 F Sport Work with the Kick Sensor For your 2018 Lexus NX300 F Sport, you will want to use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13337, not the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75956 which is designed for a NX 200t and will not fit a NX300.

- Will the Curt Hitch C13337 Mess With the Lift Gate Sensor on a Lexus NX300h 2021As the Curt hitch # C13337 will install in the same place as the lift gate kick sensor, it will limit its usability to either side of the receiver tube. This will end up happening with pretty much all hitches installed on vehicle with this sensor. However, it does not mean it will no longer work, but you will just need to find the sweet spot where it is easy to get to again.

If you are in need of a wiring harness I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # 118652. The T-One connector plugs directly into existing wiring giving you a 4-flat connector to control your trailer's lighting functions.

Honestly this is sometimes common when receiving a hitch. They are shipped all together in large pallets and can see some blemishes happen. It can also happen in shipping to you. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you. I recommend touching up the affected areas with a rust resistant paint like Rustoleum.
