This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.
It is well made, works as advertised, and reasonably priced. I was able to install it following the videos etrailer.com provided. I would have no problem recommending this trailer hitch to a friend.
The trailer hitch receiver is well made, robust design and easy to install. I am very pleased with the product!
exactly what i wanted at a good price. Unfortunately, i could not install it mayself - lowering the exhaust was more challenging than i expected, but otherwise i am very happy with the quality and the performance of the hitch.
Awesome hitch. Great price, fast shipping. I will recommend etrailer
Installed on 2022 Acura RDX. The construct of the hitch required removing the muffler from the hangers to fit the hitch assembly past them. A little difficult for a do-it-yourselfer, but do-able. Fits tightly. Extends out from the vehicle a little more than desired.
Received in damaged boxed with the hitch hanging out of the box. Could have been packaged better and I'm sure handled better by UPS. The hitch frame was scratched but not damaged and did not hinder the install.
Shipping was quick and the hitch fir as advertised
Very tight and difficult to thread the screws. You actually don't need to remove the exhaust muffler. Just hold it so that the receiver is pointing down, squeeze up the sides through between the muffler and the plastic bumper lip, once through rotate back up to a horizontal position.
Installed Hitch on 2022 Acura RDX Advance package with factory installed spare tire. This is the second hitch I have purchased and installed from etrailers. Shipping was fast, but as many others have said box arrived with portions of the hitch exposed outside of the box. Hitch had several scratches in powder coat which I covered with spray gloss paint. Reason for 1 star removal.
Hitch was fairly easy to install after removing spare tire and dropping the 2 driver side exhaust hangers as there was just not enough room to get hitch into place over the muffler otherwise. A second set of hands is best to position hitch and get bolts started without cross threading. Factory spare tire fits after hitch - it is a very tight fit against the receiver but it does fit. I have not tried the hands free tailgate sensor, as never used it so wasn't worried about it. (lesson learned, turn it off in the car settings so you don't keep opening and closing the tailgate while installing the hitch!)
Hitch extends 2.5" from the bumper, but as the back of the hitch receiver is up against the spare there is no way to have it extend less. The OEM option uses a new bumper trim piece which hides some of the extension. I was OK with the look as dealer wanted nearly $1,500 for parts and labor. Images show dimensions, including dimension to the spare at the top of the receiver.
Good, Should have receiver hitch half inch lower. Rubs the bumper.
2021 Acura RDX.
Excellent,The hitch fit very well
Solid pricing for the trailer hitch. When I had a question to verify fit for new vehicle, the 'live chat feature' worked quickly and efficiently to confirm correct product. Product arrived quickly and was installed without any problems.
Great hitch! It was a perfect fit! Made for my car and it installed easily. etrailer delivered it fast and was easy to work with. It has been year and no rust or scratch. Pictures are a year later.
Received the hitch receiver on time and installation was simple. Thank you E-trailer.
The packaging could use work, the hitch poked holes and got scratches on arrival. Etrailer could wrap the pointy areas to avoid this.
Perfect fit for our 2023 RDX aspec,,easy installation
Two out of four installation bolts should be shorter. It sticks out more than necessary and covers sensors for foot kick trunk opening. Otherwise, nice look and good quality.
Really happy with this product. It is incredibly solid and secure. Much better than the others I've purchased in the past.
Follow the directions and total install time less than 60 minutes. Hitch was poking through the box when delivered. However, there was no damage to the hitch.
Perfect fit. Just wish the receiver didn't stick out so far
The instructions say you have to remove the spare to install the hitch, but it does not tell you that once the hitch is installed you cannot reinstall the spare.
The slots in the hitch that correspond to the holes/nuts in the chassis were too short. I had to extend the slots by about 3/16 to be able to get them in.
The flanges that fit inside the chassis were too wide to allow the hitch to fit in between the anchoring locations. I had to use a hand sledge to bend them so it would fit.
All in all a bad experience. For something that should have taken 30 mins to install, it took nearly 90 minutes and resulted in my losing my spare tire!!!

This fits with factory temporary spare tire which is normally 18 inches. The other issue sounds like flex which can be fixed with the tips in this article:

My hitch went all the way to east coast before coming back to Nevada. As a result the box was full of holes. The powder coating was worn thru in several places. The holes did not allow for me to install the mount. After filing the holes I finally got the hitch mounted. Now there is no way to mount the spare tire.

I recommend to use a rust-oleum spray paint to cover any scratches to prevent corrosion in the future but I will have customer service reach out to you about the damage. This particular hitch only fits with spare tires that are 18 inches or smaller.
So far good, but the box came in with 4 big hole. Inspected the hitch no damage but have to wait to a warmer day to install the hitch and see if anything bent
Customer service answered my questions thoroughly and quickly and the hitch receiver was shipped quickly too. The hitch fit perfectly, everything lined up. Installation was straightforward. I only had to lower one side of the exhaust to get the hitch to slide into place. The exhaust hangers were the toughest part of the job. I was able to remove them by hand once I applied some lubricant. An extra set of hands would have made it a little easier, but you can install this with one person. I am very pleased with etrailer's service and product.
It took a bit if persuasion to get the hitch to fit. The mounting points weren't aligned. It works and is solid.
Also worthy to note that the packaging is terrible... It arrived in a cardboard box with no protection. 3 holes punched through where the brackets are and were all obviously scratched up as a result.
It doesn't affect the performance of the hitch but if I'm buying something new, I just feel like it should be free of flaws.
Just installed the 4th Hitch Receiver I've installed from Curt (Hyundai Santa Fe, Subaru Forester, GMC Terrain, and most recently, an Acura RDX). Every installation was perfectly fitted with good instructions and all the hardware I needed.

Im sorry to see that your hitch has received some scratches on it due to shipping. This does tend to happen and when it does, we recommend using a Rust-oleum type paint to cover up any scratches and prevent corrosion in the future during use. I have a link below for your reference. I have also sent this information over to our Customer Service Department for them to get into contact with you.
