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.

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

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.

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 !

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.

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!!!

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

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.

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.

  • Curt C13410 or the Draw-tite 76227 for 2016 2016 Subaru Outback 2.5 Limited
    When it comes to capacity, installation procedure and appearance once installed you can pretty much toss a coin to choose between the Curt # C13410 or the Draw-Tite # 76227, they are that similar. This being said, I'd always choose the Curt because it's a US made hitch and by a slight margin, they do a better job on their powder coat than Draw-Tite does. Either of the two hitches you mentioned would work perfectly with a Kuat NV 2.0 bike rack like part # NV22G. To equip your Subaru Outback...

  • Ball Mount for 2016 Subaru Outback with 2 inch Curt Trailer Hitch Installed
    The Curt 2 inch hitch part # C13206 which is a fit for your 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon actually doesn't sit too far recessed under the rear bumper of your vehicle. I attached a picture that shows that it actually is almost flush so a ball mount like the part # C45030 that you referenced would be a great choice. For a hitch ball we have the part # 63845 for a 2 inch ball or part # 63847 for a 2-5/16 inch ball. For trailer wiring you then would want the Tekonsha kit part # 118467 which is...

  • Carrying 3 Kayaks on a 2013 Ford Edge
    In my research I found that the load-carrying capacity of the roof on your 2013 Edge is 100 lbs. A roof rack that clips to the door frame would have a limited weight capacity and would not clear the side rails on your Edge. I am afraid 3 kayaks would weigh much more than the roof weight capacity of your roof but I do have a recommendation. I recommend installing a hitch and using a small trailer like the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer, part # Y08106. This trailer has two 66 inch round crossbars...

They connect to the vehicle in 3 places: behind each of the tail lights and to the battery.

  • 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.

    To install the Draw-Tite Class III receiver hitch part # 75657 on your Infiniti, the splash guards, under body appearance panels and tow hook will need to be removed. 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.

  • Which Trailer Hitch Is Recommended For 2008 Mazda CX 9
    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...

  • Recommended Vehicle Wiring Harness, Ball Mount, And Hitch Ball For 2018 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid
    I would be happy to help! Starting with the vehicle wiring harness for your 2018 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118578 which will plug in to the factory connectors behind the trim panels on the driver and passenger side of the rear cargo area.

  • 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...

Your RAV4 can be fitted with either a medium-duty 1-1/4-inch Class II type hitch or a higher-capacity 2-inch Class III type, which is what I recommend since it offers not only higher capacity but greater flexibility with hitch-mount accessories. Installation is going to be essentially the same either way so I suggest you go for a 2-inch hitch to give you more safety margin. I recommend...

  • Ball Mount Recommendation for When Rise/Drop Needed is Zero
    Sounds like you have a 0 rise/drop. Since there isn't an exact zero rise/drop ball mount the best bet is to go with a ball mount with as little of rise as possible like the Curt part # C45030 which has a 1 inch rise. This will work great as most likely when then tongue weight of the trailer is loaded on the ball mount the trailer will sit about as level as possible.
