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:

Excellent workmanship, easy to use, str ong

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.

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:

Good product. Just as one should expect.



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!!!



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!

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!

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.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2015 Mazda CX-5 AWD To Tow Bass Boat
    I did some research and your 2015 Mazda CX-5s have a towing capacity of 2,000-lbs or less. Be sure to check your owner's manual for your specific towing capacity because that amount is your maximum capacity. To tow your boat, you will need: trailer hitch, wiring harness, ball mount, hitch ball, and hitch pin. To start, you will need a trailer hitch. I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver, Item # 76138, because it is a Class III hitch with more than enough towing...

  • Items Needed to Tow Pop-Up Camper With 2014 GMC Terrain
    To hit the woods with your pop-up, you'll need a hitch, ball mount, trailer ball and wiring to provide power for the trailer lights and beer. (Just seeing if you're paying attention!) I'd recommend the Curt Class III, part # 13591, the Curt ball mount part # C45030 and for a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball you can use # 19260 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball. You'll also need a pin and clip, part # PC3 or a locking hitch pin, part # e98882. The coupler of your pop-up should say what ball size you...

This is a great hitch confirmed to fit your vehicle so we would recommend it for you. If you'll be using the hitch for towing purposes, you'll also need the following products to complete your towing system: Trailer wiring harness, part # 118416 Ball mount, part # C45030 1-7/8 inch trailer ball part # 19260 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball

  • Kayak Carrier Recommendation For 2 Hobie Mirage Passport 12 Kayaks With a 2022 Kia Telluride
    I recommend using a trailer due to the weight of your Hobie Passport 12 Kayaks. Each Kayak weighing 83lbs will overload the maximum roof rack capacity of 165lbs on your 2022 Kia Telluride. The trailer will also make it much easier for loading as it uses bunks rather than a complicated rack mount and the lower height makes it much safer to load and unload the Kayaks. The Malone Cam Buckle Load Straps # MPG307-15 will help to prevent you from over tightening down the kayaks and risking...

Curt Class III hitch # C13269 fits all Renegade models. This hitch includes all hardware and installs without drilling. We have not had a chance to video an install on the 2015 Renegade.

    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...

This hitch installs without drilling and includes all required mounting hardware. Written instructions, a helpful article and an install video are all linked for you.

  • Is it Possible to Tow With 1-5/8
    The best solution for you is going to be simply replacing that hitch with a new one, the Curt # 13657, which is a fit for '92 YJ's with the exception of Renegade models. The Curt is a Class III hitch that has a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs, tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs, and more importantly, a 2" receiver opening. To complete your towing setup you would want a 4-flat trailer connector # 118356, ball mount # C45030, 2" hitch ball # 63845 and pin and clip # C21500. I've added links...

  • Hitch And Cargo Carrier Recommendation For 2010 Ford Escape
    When choosing a hitch for your 2010 Ford Escape, I recommend installing a Class lll hitch, like the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # 13650. This hitch has a 2 inch receiver opening which gives you more options when using any hitch-mounted accessories. Most hitch mounted cargo carriers will not require a ball mount or hitch ball. They will install in the receiver opening of the hitch. If at a later time you wish to tow something, you can check out a ball mount like part # C45030. This gives...

  • Trailer Hitch and Towing Equipment Recommendation for 2012 Land Rover Ranger Rover Sport HSE
    For a trailer hitch, I'd recommend the Curt Class III, part # 13456. The # C13128 hitch you'd looked at is for the Land Rover Evoque, and wouldn't fit your Range Rover Sport. Please note, if your Range Rover Sport has the full-sized spare tire, it will no longer fit under the vehicle once the hitch is installed. For a trailer wiring harness, I'd recommend the # C59496. For a ball mount, use # C45030 and # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball. You will also need a pin...

    The Curt Class IV Hitch # C14029 and the Curt Class III Hitch # C13029 will install exactly the same and will sit at 18 1/4 inches from the ground to the top of the hitch. With these being 2 inch receivers and having, roughly, a 1/4 inch lip going around the outside of the receiver opening, you would be looking at 16 inches of ground clearance with stock suspension and wheels. Deciding between the Class III and Class IV hitches will depend on the weight capacity needed. The Class IV #...

I would instead suggest the Draw-Tite hitch # 75690 over the Curt hitch because if you decide to transport anything like a bike rack or cargo carrier in the future you will need to use a stabilization strap # 18050 per Curt's warranty and with the Draw-Tite hitch you won't. Next suggestion is we offer a Curt...

  • Draw-Tite or Curt Ball Mount With 1 Inch Rise for 2017 Subaru Forester
    For your 2017 Subaru Forester, between the Curt Ball Mount # C45030 and Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount # AMSC2, I recommend the Convert-A-Ball # AMSC2. I like the Convert-A-Ball because it is longer by about 1-7/8 inch, so you have a bit of extra clearance. That can come in handy with your Forester when towing with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13144, which is recessed under the bumper. The Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount # AMSC2 will work with the 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # 19260, you can lock it...

If used for non-trailer loads like a bike rack the hitch must be supported with a strap # 18050 per Curt warranty requirements. For a ball mount you can use # C45030 and either 2-inch hitch ball # 63845 or 2-5/16-inch ball # 63847. For a hitch lock use part # e98880. For a wiring harness you can use # C56285 from Curt.

The color of your vehicle does not impact the fit & compatibility of this hitch!

  • Recommended 2 Inch Ball Mount With 1 Inch Rise
    For a 2 inch ball mount that offers a 1 inch rise/2 inch drop and a 12K capacity, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite # 4284. For a 2-5/16 inch ball, use # 19286 which also has a 12K capacity. If you don't need that much capacity, go for the Curt # C45030 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball, use # 63847. This combination would have a 7500 lb maximum capacity. For either setup, you'd also need a # PC3 hitch in.

    The Draw-Tite and Curt are top quality hitches as far as strength. As far as fitment on the vehicles, most manufacturers today try to make the hitch as least unobtrusive as possible when designing around the vehicle design. When we recommend hitches we usually try to take into consideration how it looks on the vehicle. Like the hitch does not hang too low or that it does not stick too far out from the rear fascia. Also if the installation is easy to do or if it requires modifications. On...

Once the installation is completed, the splash guards will be replaced, but the tow hook and the under body panels will not be re installed as they would interfere with the hitch.

The installation is very straight forward as well, as you can see at the link to the installation instructions I have provided.

    Though the Curt Multi-Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # C45655 can definitely be used with a trailer that has brakes, there will be no way to attach a sway control kit, like the Reese # 83660, to it. What you will need to do is go with a standard ball mount, like the Curt # C45030, and then attach the Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 2" Ball Mounts # RP26003 to it between the ball and the platform. This will allow you to get a friction sway control kit, again like the # 83660, attached and working...

    The recommended ball mount for use with Curt Class III hitch # C13550 is their Class III ball mount # C45030 which provides either 1-inch of rise or 2-1/4-inches of drop. Since your trailer coupler height and Explorer hitch ball height are different then you can choose a different ball mount with the correct amount of drop to keep your trailer level when hitched.

Once installed, the # C13144 would be fully visible and the # CU64FR would have the crossbar concealed with only the receiver and the safety chain loops visible. The hitches both have the same capacity, but the concealed version requires a much more extensive installation,...
