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!

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: Sebortooth10/14/2023
Excellent receiver kit! Combined with the curt trailer hitch and the oem Mazda trailer harness add on, this is legit!
by: Thomas 02/16/2024
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: Raymond 02/11/2024
It’s nice to not need to torque the ball onto the hitch.
by: Christapher04/09/2024
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: Alexander 05/30/2024
Does the job. In a year I’ve hauled maybe 10 times without issue and the ball has even stayed pretty shiny!
by: Mark J10/05/2023
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: Dominic12/15/2023
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: Daryn09/19/2023
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: Christopher10/28/2023
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: Kenneth 05/25/2024
Works well
by: Frank06/29/2020
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.

Easy installation

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.

Kurt towing starter kit key won’t open the pin
by: Craig06/14/2019
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: Travas06/12/2023
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: mee11/02/2021
Easy installation, low profile and excellent quality. Exactly what I was looking for in a hitch receiver for our 2021 Pilot.

by: Dennis10/11/2021
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: Frank L06/23/2023
Looks fine. Fair price for the hitch, ball, and locking pin.
by: Xavier 03/04/2023
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: Brody05/27/2023
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.

I checked with our vendors and the only hitch available for a 2022 Subaru WRX is the Draw-Tite Hitch item # 76271. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Subaru with included hardware. If splicing is a no go for you, I recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # 119250KIT. This is also a universal wiring harness but it uses clamps to receive the signal from your wires without cutting into them. To round...

I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e93ZR. This hitch is custom fit for your 2022 Nissan Rogue and installs with included hardware. There are so many more options if you have a 2" receiver over a 1-1/4" one. All of the hitches for the 2022 Rogue are practically identical visually and size wise. You would be paying more for a class II 1-1/4" hitch item # C57HR and have to deal with compatibility...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch, Wiring Harness, and Ball Mount for a 2010 Subaru Outback Wagon We installed the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13410 on a 2012 Subaru Outback Wagon and we found that from the top of the hitch opening down to the ground measured 15". Since your trailer has a coupler height that sits at 15-1/2", I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" ball and a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise and 2" drop. If you mount the ball on the bottom of the receiver with the Curt lettering facing down then...

Both of these are universal options. I checked with our vendor no one has made a custom fit wiring harness as of 7/16/23. I can't speak for a German website, might be a typo in your question, but our Curt T-Connector item # C56434 fits a 2020 - 2023 Toyota RAV4 and item # C59236 does not work...

- Recommended Ball Mount for a 2007 Chevy Equinox The answer to that question is mainly going to be determined by how tall the coupler is on your trailer. You're going to want to line up your trailer's coupler and the hitch ball as close to the same height as possible. Or at least within a couple of inches. The top of the 2" receiver for the Curt Hitch item # 13591 you were looking sits 15" above the ground when mounted on a 2007 Equinox. If you were to use the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534, that would put the...

- Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Volkswagen TiguanYes, we do! To add a hitch to your 2023 VW Tiguan, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e43ZR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Tiguan with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. I really like the etrailer item # e43ZR hitch because the main crosstube mounts behind the bumper cover. This leaves only the 2" receiver visible, which not only looks better it helps with ground clearance. I have linked an installation video below and attached a couple...

- Do I Need a Mounting Bracket to Install a 4-Way Connector on a 2020 Chevy Equinox Hitch?You will need to purchase a separate bracket. I looked at our inventory and checked with our vendors. It looks like all the hitches for a 2020 Chevy Equinox don't have that built in tab. You'll want to use the No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136 and the item # C42CR to secure the Tekonsha item # 118285 connector to your hitch. This will put it in an easy to reach spot and prevent the risk of it falling onto the road. The best hitch for your Equinox is the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C77FR....

Our installers have stated that the hitch comes in contact with the exhaust on the SX turbo models. This may result in the exhaust hangers needing to be bent to get the right amount of clearance. Other then that this hitch is custom fit and comes with all necessary hardware to complete the installation. The Draw-Tite Hitch item # 36510 is a class II hitch with a 1-1/4"...

- Recommended Brake Controller for 2024 Hyundai PalisadeFor a complete setup to tow a trailer with brakes you will need a hitch, 7-way wiring, a ball mount, and the brake controller.

These are identical in design and installation but I suggest the Curt # C13195 since it offers a higher tongue weight rating. Extra capacity is never a bad thing. For a 4-pole wiring harness for the trailer lights I suggest the Curt # CU94FR which will plug in under the car on the driver's side. The picture included shows the connector that will plug in at the tow package harness under the car....
