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



by:

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.



by:

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!

Great -no problems and very convenient.

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.

  • What Size Ball Shank Does Curt Ball Mount C45030 Require
    Yes, the ball mount part # C45030 requires a hitch ball that has a 1 inch diameter shank like the # 63845 for a 2 inch ball or the # 63847 for a 2-5/16 inch ball.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2012 Toyota Tacoma that will not Rust
    We do have several trailer hitches available for the 2012 Toyota Tacoma. I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75236. I have included a link to the installation details and a video showing a typical installation for you to view. Hitches are made out of steel and are constantly exposed to the elements so they may eventually rust. Each manufacturer we offer coats the hitches with a paint that will prevent and ward off rust. If hitches are damaged or scratched and the metal is exposed...

  • 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...

  • Recommendations For Adding A Friction Sway Control Kit To A Ball Mount
    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...

  • Trailer Hitch and Towing Accessories Recommended for 2011 Kia Sportage SX Turbo Model
    Hidden Hitch, Draw-Tite and Curt now make hitches that are compatible with the SX turbo model, although that wasn't always the case. I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13120 because it has the highest tongue weight capacity at 525 lbs and is the least expensive option. Curt makes a high quality product, so the fact that you'll save a dollar or three won't mean you have to compromise anything. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need the following accessories: Trailer...

  • How to Pick Out a Ball Mount to Allow Trailer to Tow Level
    I am sure we have just the ball mount for you, but to determine which one you would need will require you to take a couple measurements. You will need to measure from the top of the hitch opening down to the ground and then from the bottom of the coupler down to the ground when the trailer is sitting perfectly level. Whatever the difference is between these two dimensions is the amount of rise/drop you would need. I attached a help article that covers how to do this as well for you to...

  • 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.

  • Ball Mount with 2-5/16 inch Hitch Ball to Fit OEM Hitch of 2022 Volvo XC90
    Your 2022 Volvo XC90's factory hitch is basically a standard 2 inch trailer hitch so for a ball mount solution that will allow you to use a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball you'd want the Curt # C45030 and then for a hitch ball the part # C40005.

  • Trailer Hitch and Related Towing Items Needed for 2014 Jeep Cherokee Laredo
    The Curt Class III Hitch # C13172 that you referenced fits all versions of the Jeep Cherokee, including your Laredo. The correct ball mount to use with this hitch is part # C45030. You can secure the ball mount to your hitch either with a simple pin and clip # C21500 or with a locking pin # e98880. If you need a 2-inch hitch ball to match your trailer's coupler you can use # 63845. You'll also need a wiring harness for your trailer's lights. You can use Curt harness # C56208. I have linked...

  • How to Choose Right Ball Mount for 2010 Honda Odyssey Pulling 2008 Jayco Pop-Up Camper
    Rise and drop is going to be the most important measurement when it comes to a ball mount; getting a ball mount with an extended length will only be necessary if, for example, your hitch is underneath your vehicle quite a bit and you need the added length to clear that amount of space. In order to choose the ball mount with the correct rise and drop, there are a couple measurements you'll need to take. First, make sure both your 2010 Odyssey and 2008 Jayco are parked on level ground; you'll...

  • Can the Thule Camber 2 # TH9058 be Used on a 5th Wheel Trailer
    As much as I would love to help you find out a way to use the Thule Camber 2 # TH9058 for your application, it has not been tested and approved for use at the rear of a 5th wheel trailer. Since the trailer hitch on a 5th wheel (or even a travel trailer) sits further back from the rear axle than it does on a vehicle, there is a lot more stress which some bike racks cannot handle. The Roadway is one of them. For your application you can go with the Curt Clamp-On 3 Bike Rack # C18013. It...

    In addition to the Curt trailer hitch you have selected for your 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport you will need a wiring harness, ball mount, ball, and a hitch pin with a clip. For a trailer wiring harness I recommend # 118538. It does work with the LED lights on your Outlander Sport so that will not be a problem! I have included a link to a video review of this harness for you. For a ball mount I recommend # C45030. For a 1-7/8 inch ball I recommend # 19260, for a 2 inch ball I recommend...

    We do have hitches for the 2018 Ford Explorer, but according to Rigid this hitch will only fit 1999-2005 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks. If you're looking for a hitch for your 2018 Ford Explorer I recommend going with the Curt Class III Round Tube Hitch # C13386 . In order to tow with your 2018 Explorer you also need a ball mount similar to # C45030 and wiring harness # C56172 which is a T-connector that provides a 4 way flat connector designed for use with your Explorer and hitch...

    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 #...

  • 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.

    Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13427 does fit your 2022 Hyundai Palisade. This hitch is a class III trailer hitch and has a maximum towing capacity of 6,000lbs. To complete a towing setup, you'll need wiring # CU94FR, and a ball mount # C45030. Additionally, you may also need a hitch pin and clip # C21510, and a ball for the ball mount. I recommend the Convert-A-Ball # 902B that has a 1-7/8" ball, a 2" ball, and a 2-5/16" ball.

    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.
