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:

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:

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:

Works well



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:

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:

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



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:

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



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:

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

    To add a 7-Way to your 2021 Ford Bronco you will need a 4-Way kit like the recommended T-One # TK99VR and then the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7. The T-One plugs in behind the tail lights of your Bronco and gives you the standard light functions while the ETBC7 comes with everything you need for a fully functional 7-Way. Usually we only see 7-Ways with OEM connections for trucks so your anything smaller than a truck you usually have to install a 4-Way and then an additional kit like what...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Acura MDX
    To add a hitch to your 2023 Acura MDX, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e27KR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Acura with included hardware. I really like this hitch because the cross tube installs behind your rear bumper cover. This leaves only the 2" x 2" receiver visible. The matte black powder coat finish not only offers superior rust protection but it also helps to conceal the receiver below your bumper trim. The etrailer Hitch item # e27KR is made in the USA and...

    I have a couple of wiring harnesses that will add a 7-way and a 4-flat to your 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee. However, since you do not have the towing package the 7-way harness is going to need to be wired in. The first wiring harness you will need is the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness item # 118425. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your Jeep's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side tail lights. This will provide you with a 4-flat connector....

  • Does the Bumper Need to Be Removed to Install the etrailer e25TR Hitch on a 2024 Subaru Outback?
    Yes, it does! The crosstube of the etrailer Hitch item # e25TR installs completely behind the rear bumper cover on your 2024 Subaru Outback so you do have to remove it. The crosstube being hidden is one of the best features of the etrailer hitch. Installing it like this leaves only the 2" receiver exposed. This not only looks better it helps with ground clearance. I have linked an installation video below along with the instructions so you can see how this hitch gets set up. If you...

It is a class IV hitch with a 2", that has a 7,500 lbs towing capacity, and a 1,125 lbs maximum tongue weight.

  • Draw-Tite or etrailer? Which Hitch is Better for a 2018 Ford Edge SEL
    Yes, both the etrailer item # e36RR and the Draw-Tite item # 75234 hitches conceal the crossbar behind the bumper of your 2018 Ford Edge SEL. All you will see once installed is the 2" receiver and the safety chain loops. Both hitches are confirmed to fit your vehicle and have identical capacities of 4,500 lbs for towing and 675 lbs maximum tongue weights.

It is slightly backordered to next month because of Draw-Tite's parent company being bought out and the logistical nightmare it has caused. The Draw-Tite item # DT65GR has a 3,000 lbs towing capacity and a 300 lbs maximum tongue weight so plenty of capacity for a bike rack.

  • Do I Need M12 Bolts to Install Curt Hitch on 1999 Toyota 4Runner Without Tow Hooks
    Since the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13087 installation requires removing and reinstalling M12 bolts from the tow hooks on a 4Runner you will need to acquire M12 bolts for the installation on your 1999 Toyota 4Runner otherwise you'll only have half of the necessary hardware installed which can be dangerous. It looks like all of the hitches that fit your 4Runner require these bolt hole locations to be used as well. If you plan on using this hitch for towing I also recommend picking...

You are correct, they are an identical hitch but our hitch receiver is a little less glossy which makes it hide the blemishes it get from just driving down the road. Ours will look newer, longer.
