Just your basic ball mount, the product is just like most 2” Hitch ball mounts, the service wasn’t very good though.
Ordered on June 15th (product was in stock) took them 6 days to send it out, took another 6 days in shipping and got all the way to my post office two days before leaving on vacation (I needed it for the vacation) and the post office said “box was empty and they notified seller” etrailer sent a new one (got here a week after my vacation) in a damaged box (packaging is horrible, little bit of paper in a box with a 5 lbs ball mount) almost lost this one too.
I don’t believe I’ll be using etrailer in the future (had issues before)



by:

Does the job, however there's a lot of play when hitch mount is inserted into the hitch and when towing with an empty trailer. Very loud. Have to buy a silencer that goes around and secures the product.

So far so good - thx for checking



by:

Looks & works great. Easy to install. Make sure you order or have a locking pin and ball to go with it.



by:

This is a great all-purpose hitch. I've used it to mount a heavy-duty bike rack and a steel T-rack to carry a canoe as well as lumber. Most recently I hauled 5 x 8 cargo trailers full of plants, then furniture for a 600-mile move. It was simple to use, problem free, very strong and sturdy. Now that I live on some acreage, I see a trailer in my future, so this will get a lot more use. I drive a 2013 Tacoma, so this is a good size hitch at a good price with sufficient capacity for my needs. I do use a key lock for the hitch as well.



by:

Excellent workmanship, easy to use, str ong



by:

Ordered the whole trailer hitch package but did not include the pin for the ball mount. CHEAP and will never order from you again



by:

The product was going to come in late but etrailer offered a more expensive hitch substitute for the product I ordered. I was completely satisfied with the service, communication and product. This is the second time I purchased from etrailer.

fine



by:

I know absolutely nothing about hitches! I checked prices and products in my area and was dissatisfied with high prises and confusion over which product would be best for my vehicle. I did an extensive search on the internet and found etrailer.com. I called and talked to Jonathan. He walked me thru the entire order process and explained details about the products. I placed my order and received it in time frame I asked for. My local Toyota dealer installed the hitch without any problems! I am totally satisfied with the pricing, product and customer service. I highly recommend etrailer.com!!!



by:

It's a ball mount. Feels substantial and well made. Paint looks good, nice looking welding. Can't say anything bad. I understand that the hitch balls come in different sizes and types, but it would have been nice to get a simple hitch pin and clip when buying the hitch and ball mount together, as I was expecting that to be included with one or the other.

Year later, still works fine. Still think it should have included a hitch pin and clip.



by:

Instalation was pretty quick and easy, the completed installation worked great on my new trailer.



by:

Perfect fit for my Curt Receiver Hitch for my Venza !



by:

Good product. Just as one should expect.



by:

This hitch is perfect for my needs. Great, quality products, from a knowledgeable source, offering competitive prices. Also, the brief video assist eased my installation efforts.



by:

I'm assuming I have to buy the pin separately, but this wasn't pointed out to me, so when I got ready to use this I had to stop and get a pin.



by:

Continues to withstand the workload.

I seldom take the time to write a review but I felt compelled to share my excellent overall experience with etrailer.com. I ordered the C13200 trailer hitch receiver, 2" ball, 2" ball mount receiver, pin/clip, and C56217 wiring harness for my 2017 Toyota Highlander XLE. All arrived in no time and in excellent condition. The installation videos and PDF documents are outstanding. I installed the hitch receiver in roughly 45 minutes - includes time to convince brother in-law to come over to help hoist it into place. Wiring harness installation was a breeze, roughly 20 minutes (again, great instructional videos). I could not be happier with the finished product. Thanks etrailer.com for making this a trouble free installation. If you are considering adding a hitch, etc. go no further, you are at the right place...order away. Its very easy to install and you will save a trailer load of cash!!!



by:

Slips right into the hitch and works pe rfectly!



by:

This fits my 2" hitch just as advertised. Fit and finish is perfect.

Great product! Easy install. Completed project myself in 1.5 hours...would recommend for any skill level...just gotta be willing to crawl around on your back

We are more than pleased with your products and the transaction. Thanks again!



by:

The video and the written instructions for installing the hitch were very helpful for a novice like me. In the process I saw that there was a good reason for every tool listed for installing it. The hitch fits perfectly and looks very sturdy. Now we can't wait to be able to take our bicycles with us when we go to the mountains from Denver, letting us enjoy all the biking trails. Also the hitch arrived only 3 days after ordering it - great!

Great -no problems and very convenient.

Ordered a complete hitch package for my GMC Terrain. Every piece was included and all of it was top notch quality. The fit was perfect and installation was a breeze. The wiring harness matched up perfectly with the OEM plugs, no splicing or crimping required. I highly recommend this company and its products.

The hitch has performed perfectly. Im a very satisfied customer.

It took a while before my son had time to install the trailer package. Took some watching of [online] videos but he got it installed and it works great. We’ve used it a couple of times to pull a small trailer.

I ordered a Curt ball mount for the second hitch I purchased from etrailer this year. It arrived a day earlier than I thought it would! Thank you Melinda for taking care of my order. etrailer is 3 for 3 with me, 100%. I highly recommend them and will be using them in the future.

  • How to Select Correct Ball Mount and Hitch Ball for 2017 Porsche Macan
    If you are installing the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13136 or the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75940 on your 2017 Porsche Macan and plan on towing, you will need to take some very simple measurements in order to find out the correct ball mount. First, make sure both your Porsche and trailer are parked on level ground; you'll then want to measure from the ground to the top of the inside of your hitch receiver. Next, measure from the ground to the bottom of your trailer's coupler and find the difference...

  • Trailer Hitch and Towing Equipment Recommended for 2020 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport
    We do indeed offer a hitch for the 2020 VW Atlas Cross Sport. I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C93CR. For a trailer wiring harness, use the # C56383. For a ball mount, I'd recommend the # C45030 and the # PC3 hitch pin. For a hitch ball, use # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball.

  • 1992 Dodge Ram 250 Conversion Van Hitch Recommendation
    The Zephyr conversion didn't do anything to change the rear bumper and frame area of your 1992 Ram 250 van, so a standard hitch would work great for you. I'd recommend the Curt Class III Receiver Hitch # C13041. The hitch has a 6000 lb towing/600 lb tongue weight capacity. If used with a weight distribution system, that would climb to 10,000/1000 lbs. In other words, the hitch will have more towing capacity than the van, although you'll be limited to the actual capacity of the van. The...

    Trailer wiring harnesses for your 2016 Hyundai Tucson, # C56348 and # 118501, both install the same way. They connect to the vehicle in 3 places: behind each of the tail lights and to the battery. The power wire has to be connected to the vehicle battery because no other 12 volt power source is appropriately rated for this application. I have included a link to our help article with tips on routing the power wire. If you do not already have a trailer hitch then you could use # C13240....

  • What Drawbar Length Should Be Used On 2019 Honda CR-V With Curt Trailer Hitch C13397
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13397 measured 2-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outside of the bumper on the 2019 Honda CR-V so the length of the draw bar or ball mount is not going to be that big of a deal because the hitch is not recessed under the vehicle. As long as the ball mount is longer than 3" you won't have an issue. That measurement is the center of the hitch pin hole on the ball mount to the center of the of the ball hole. For example: Curt Ball Mount...

  • Ball Mount for European Bike Rack
    I have a solution but the Weigh Safe 180 Hitch 2-Ball Mount # WS54FR will not work with this because most European Bike Racks require a 50mm ball to attach to. The two included balls with Weigh Safe ball mount are not the correct size. Also, this ball mount is no longer available. You will need a 50mm Hitch Ball # # EH53C-C and a ball mount with a 1" mounting hole like the Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # C45030. This will allow you to mount your euro-style Thule VeloSpace XT3 Bike Rack...

  • How to Transport 333-lb Wheelchair on 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with Rear Spare Tire
    The spare tire on your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited poses a clearance challenge for transporting a wheelchair on a hitch-mounted carrier. The use of a hitch extension like # C45791 will get you an extra 8-inches of clearance at the spare tire, but the use of any adapter like this also costs you 50-percent of your hitch capacity. This is due to the extra leverage applied to the hitch from the load being further away from it. The 2-inch hitches for your Wrangler Unlimited (shown on the linked...

  • Recommended Parts For Towing Small Utility Trailer w/ 15-17 Coupler Behind a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek
    I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98912 for your 2023 Subaru Crosstrek. This receiver has a 2" opening allowing for a larger selection of ball mounts and other hitch mounted accessories. When we installed this in our shop on a similar 2021 Crosstrek it had a hitch height of 15-1/4". The Ball Mount # C45030 has a 1" rise which will get you to 16-1/4" to mount the 2" Hitch Ball # 63845. For the wiring you will need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118467. This will connect...

The Curt Ball Mount for 2 inch Hitches - 1 inch Rise, 2-1/4 inch Drop - 7-5/8 inch Long - 7,500 pounds # C45030 is made in the USA but it's only the ball mount.

For a higher capacity of 10,000 GTW/1000 TW, the Curt Class IV hitch, part # 14053 would be an excellent choice.
