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

Slips right into the hitch and works pe rfectly!

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.

  • Parts Needed to Tow 1,500 Pound Trailer with 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon
    The Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13206 that you referenced features a 4,000 pound towing weight capacity so it's more than capable of pulling a 1,500 pound trailer. This trailer weight sits well below its limits. I also took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2017 Subaru Outback and it lists a towing capacity of 2,700 pounds as long as the trailer is equipped with brakes. If the trailer doesn't have brakes the towing capacity drops to 1,000 pounds....

  • 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...

  • 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...

I recommend the Curt # 13514 because it has the highest tongue weight capacity (400-lbs) AND has the lowest cost too. You will want to check your owner's manual for confirmation of the vehicle's tongue weight capacity. You'll also need a wiring harness for your trailer's lights.

I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. Then for trailer wiring you'd want the Tekonsha kit part # 118727 which installs easily and has a very reliable converter box.

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

  • Recommended Hitch and Wiring for 2016 BMW X5 with M-Sport Package

I've added a link to a video of this hitch being installed on a '16 X5 for you to take a look at. The recommended ball mount for your vehicle is # C45030; for a hitch ball you would need # 63845 for a 2" ball or # 63847 for a 2-5/16" ball. You would also need pin and clip # C21500.

    If you are installing the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13136 or the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75940 on your 2017 Porsche Macan and plan on towing, you will need to take some very simple measurements in order to find out the correct ball mount.

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.

  • Why Doesnt The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch DR64FR Fit A 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon?
    The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DR64FR you were looking at will not fit for your 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon due to your vehicle having the supports welded on to the bumper that block the hitch from being able to contact the frame of your vehicle. Due to this you will need to go with the Curt # CU74FR instead as it mounts in a different way which allows it to work with these supports. If you will be towing a trailer with your Gladiator you will also need a vehicle wiring harness...

  • Factors to Consider When Picking Out Length of Ball Mount
    I would say the shorter you can go without any turning clearance issues will be the safest and best option. The length of the ball mount doesn't typically play a huge factor in ride quality or anything but we have longer ball mounts for trailers that are wider at the nose of the trailer to help get a little more clearance for turning. In theory a longer ball mount would put more leverage on the hitch in terms of tongue weight but most of the time it's not something that's really noticed...
