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:

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

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.

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

Good product. Just as one should expect.

Perfect fit for my Curt Receiver Hitch for my Venza !



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.

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!!!

Slips right into the hitch and works pe rfectly!

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

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

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.

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.



by:

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.

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.

  • Fit of Curt Class III # C13152 Trailer Hitch on a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.0L Turbo
    The Curt Class III hitch you referenced, part # C13152 is a fit for all models of the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, including the 2.0L Turbo model. Just to be sure, I've confirmed this with Curt Manufacturing. Should you need to tow at some time in the future, you would need a wiring harness like # 118571, a ball mount like # C45030 and a 1-7/8 inch # 19260 or a 2 inch # 63845 trailer ball and a pin and clip like # PC3.

    In order to tow a 5x8 U-Haul cargo trailer with your 2018 Mazda CX-9 you will need a trailer hitch, a 4-Way wiring harness, and a ball mount/hitch ball combo. There are two Class III 2 inch trailer hitch receivers available for your CX-9, the Curt # C13284 and the Draw-Tite # 76020. Both feature pretty similar designs and will use the same existing holes in the vehicle's frame but I recommend going with the Curt # C13284 because it offers a slightly more recessed (hidden) receiver and...

    Yes, Curt hitch # 13245 is designed to fit around the under vehicle spare tire on 2009 Jeep Liberty 4x4 models. The installation is very straight forward as well, as you can see at the link to the installation instructions I have provided. If you need to wire your vehicle for towing, you can use custom fit wiring harness # 118554, which would also be a simple install for you. The recommended ball mount for your vehicle is part # C45030, which you could secure using a hitch pin like...

    Curt multi-fit trailer hitch 13950 is designed to fit certain frame widths. Measure the center to center distance from one frame rail to the other. If the distance is 31 to 41 inches then it is possible this hitch will fit your 1997 Honda CR-V. However, it has not been tested so I cannot guarantee that it will fit. It is also not listed in the vehicle fits in the instructions which I have linked for you. If you go with this hitch then you will need to replace the mounting hardware since...

  • 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...

  • Should electronic stability control be turned off when towing with a 2017 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk?
    Per the User's Guide, the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) on your 2017 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk should not be turned off when towing. The Full Off mode is intended for off-road use and should not be used on any public roadways. You do need to make sure that you have a complete tow package for your vehicle. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch, # C13172 and wiring harness # C56208.

  • Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with 2018 VW Atlas
    Absolutely! Starting with the trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Class III Receiver Hitch # C13366. This Class III hitch is confirmed to fit your 2018 VW Atlas and will use existing holes in its frame for a no-drill installation. It will provide you with a 2 inch receiver and it has a 6,000 towing weight capacity. You will also want to verify your vehicle's capacity by checking the owner's manual, as it is likely lower than this. You will simply need to follow whichever capacity is lower,...

  • Can a Ball Mount Receiver Be Flipped Upside Down To Gain Additional Height For Leveling a Trailer?
    Yes, if you are talking about using a ball mount like the Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # C45030. This type of ball mount can be used in either a rise or drop orientation to achieve the correct height to level the trailer. The 2" Hitch Ball # 63845 can simply bolt onto whichever side it needs to be on. If a ball mount can only be used in either the rise or drop position it will have that information on the ball mount.

This is a class III hitch with a tongue weight capacity of 525 lbs and a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs. The hitch will fit hybrid models of the RAV4 and you will not lose the ability to use the hands-free liftgate sensors.

    The base version of the 2015 Chevrolet Equinox has a maximum rated towing capacity of 1500-lbs but you'll want to check your actual owner's manual to confirm the towing capacity for your particular Equinox since this can vary depending on the version and specific equipment included.

The hitch is compatible with 18 inch or smaller spare tires, if your rim your spare tire is mounted on is larger than 18 inches, you won't be able to stow the spare tire under the vehicle. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a wiring harness like # TK99FR, a ball mount like # C45030 with pin...

  • Getting the Correct Parts to Tow a Trailer
    If I'm understanding you correctly the answer is yes you can. Your Explorer has a Class III trailer hitch receiver that measures 2 inches on the inside. This means it must have a Class III ball mount that fits into it to tow a trailer, like part # C45030. I've linked all of our ball mounts that'll fit to this page. On the other side the trailer has a coupler that fits onto the hitch ball. With a trailer that small it's probably a 1-7/8 inch ball. It could be a 2 inch or even a 50 millimeter...

  • Should Trailer Be Loaded or Unloaded When Measuring For Correct Ball Mount Rise/Drop
    You can measure your trailer's coupler height with the trailer loaded or unloaded. The travel in the trailer's suspension will not have a significant impact on the trailer's coupler height. When measuring the coupler height, the trailer jack will be supporting the trailer and holding it level regardless of the trailer's load. I have attached a help article on measuring for the correct ball mount for you.

    In order to be able to use the full 500-lb carrying capacity of the Ultra-Fab Motorcycle Carrier # UF48-979033 you will need to use it with a vehicle and hitch that both have a tongue weight (TW) capacity in excess of its 500-lb rating. If either the vehicle or the hitch have a TW rating below 550-lbs, then you'll start to lose carrying capacity. For example, if your Xterra owner's manual said the TW rating was 600-lbs but your installed hitch has a TW rating of 500-lbs, then the lower...

  • Does Tongue Weight Sag Get Factored In When Picking Out Rise/Drop Ball Mount
    This is a really great question! So ideally you have the trailer sitting as level as possible when you are towing. So that means that if your vehicle suspension is going to sag with the tongue weight of your trailer on the ball mount you'd want to compensate for that with the amount of rise/drop ball mount you select. How this normally works out is that you determine the drop needed (in your case 8 inches) and then go with a ball mount slightly higher like the Curt part # C45100 which...

The Draw-Tite Class III hitch, part # 75671 would indeed be a fit. If your XC60 is a European spec vehicle, the fit of the hitch has NOT been tested, so I wouldn't be able to guarantee fit.
