There were some UPS delivery issues, damaged in shipment. But, etrailer.com jumped right on sending out another shipment after it was apparent that UPS would not complete the delivery.

The installation took longer, maybe 1-1/2 hours, because I did not have all my tools ready and I was working on the concrete floor in the dark to outside with a portable shop light. Everything fit well and it looks great.

The 2" drop ball mount was the perfect height for my 2019 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. I love the look of the Curt black insert that makes the hitch looks like it belongs on the car, nothing embarrassing at all.

Anything negative? Maybe. The flat plate was a little difficult to hook onto with the UHaul safety chains on a 5x8 trailer. That's hardly a negative, though, and I wouldn't have spent more on another brand choice because of this. Happy happy!



by:

Great fit and finish on this kit. So nice to be able to tow things with my Forester now. I thought I had an issue but figured out it was user error pretty quick, but only after I contacted etrailer for help. I heard back within 30 minutes of emailing and by that time I figured out my blunder. They were extremely helpful and responsive and were set on fixing the problem I thought I had. I have used etrailer for several different purchases over the past couple years and every time I have been thrilled with the service and the quality of product.



by:

Excellent receiver kit! Combined with the curt trailer hitch and the oem Mazda trailer harness add on, this is legit!



by:

While I haven't yet used it, this kit seems to be exactly what I need. Fit and finish are excellent, and packaging is most convenient for those of us who only occasionally use a hitch and want to store the kit when not in use. Thanks! Highly recommend.



by:

After a slight issue that was immediately identified by etrailer, they quickly resolved it, and I received everything in 4 days. Great customer service!



by:

It’s nice to not need to torque the ball onto the hitch.



by:

Does the job. In a year I’ve hauled maybe 10 times without issue and the ball has even stayed pretty shiny!



by:

As always, Curt products are well built. The style and finish are beautiful. Never have any problems with fitment.
Searching and ordering online was a breeze. My only complaint is the search filter. It is not very user friendly.
This kit has everything you need and more. I especially love the locking hitch pin. I use a lot of public boat ramps and over the years I have had my hitch stolen multiple times. With this locking pin, I wont have to worry about that anymore.



by:

First time installing a hitch receiver went really well with the included instructions and videos. If I need to get another receiver this will be my place to go!



by:

It’s as advertised, a hitch assembly. I do like the rubber hitch hole cover, it has a snug fit. The lock seems kind of weak at first use but I’ll give it time.



by:

This started kit has everything you need in one nice package to get towing! Very nice to not have to piece everything together separately. And it costs much less by getting it all together in one handy package! Thank you Alyssa for all your help!



by:

GREAT! Ball/mount assembly kit received in excellent condition.
(Note: I had also received the hitch assembly a week or so earlier)

Impressed with quality, fit and performance of product.

Perfect set-up for my bike rack used on my 2020 Subaru Outback.

Will definitely use etrailer.com for future purchases.



by:

Works well



by:

Easy installation



by:

Does the job it’s made to do. Exactly as pictured and is great. It does take so getting used to putting the locking bar thing in and securing it.

Oh, my goodness, thats annoying! I am sorry it is giving you issues right off the bat. I will have our customer service team reach out to you!



by:

I'm going to be moving soon and I have a new truck. I bought a hitch kit and extendable rear view mirrors for towing. They were well packaged and delivered quicker than I expected. You get something extra with your order. What really impressed me was the people. These people clearly LOVE what they do. You get people who actually care, with every order. That's something you can't buy and they give it away with every order.



by:

Super easy to install! Very strong. I installed the hitch and the wiring for a trailer in about an hour. Zero problems getting it to line up. Great product.



by:

Easy installation, low profile and excellent quality. Exactly what I was looking for in a hitch receiver for our 2021 Pilot.



by:

excellant watched a bunch of videos made it look hard but was installed in 15 minutes



by:

I normally keep a complete towing set in my automobiles and needed a new set for my wife's car. After some research, I decided to go with the Curt Towing Starter Kit. The quality is excellent and every aspect of the hitch and lock worked flawlessly. I can highly recommend this Curt starter kit to anyone needing a complete receiver hitch kit. Thanks once again!!

It’s been a year since purchasing this great Curt towing set. This car has a mobility lift installed, so I only keep the kit handy if towing is required. In the past year, I have not had to tow anything with this vehicle and the set has been stored safely in the case it came with and is still essentially new. Nice towing set!



by:

Looks fine. Fair price for the hitch, ball, and locking pin.



by:

Wow e trailer is the best it was so easy to install my hitch and wiring harness just make sure you have 1 extra person to set in the hitch and bolt up, and borrow a torque wrench if needed everything was real easy and the videos are very helpful thanks e-trailer for having the videos as well when you purchase items it makes it great. A+ for delivery too got my hitch delivered fast to with everything. Keep up the good work



by:

Purchased this product one year ago. It's still holding up without any issues! I would definitely recommend this product. The installation process was about 3 hours being done alone.



by:

The service was great. The agent quickly located the preferred part seamlessly. Thank you etrailer.

  • Fit and Installation of Curt C13395 Class III Trailer Hitch on 2019 Jeep Cherokee Latitude
    It sure will! On a scale of 1 to 10, we rated the install as a 5 which isn't too bad. The exhaust needs to be temporarily removed at the rear of the vehicle, but it's not terribly difficult if you follow the instructions and install video I've linked for you. The video will walk you right through the process. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56406 and a ball mount kit item # C45534. I've also linked to the installation instructions and a video...

  • Comparing EcoHitch and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitches for 2020 Honda Odyssey
    Both the EcoHitch # 306-X7372 and Curt # C64NR trailer hitches are confirmed to fit your 2020 Honda Odyssey as listed in our fit guide. These trailer hitches basically install in the same way and are excellent options that offer a super concealed look, so it's not that one is necessarily better for your Honda Odyssey than the other, but I'll point out for you what the main differences are to help you decide which to go with. I've also attached a photo of each to show how similar they look...

    I would be happy to help you find a hitch for your 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC300 and answer your capacity questions. I'll start by saying that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C84ER you referenced is confirmed to fit your GLC300 if you have the SUV. The capacities of the hitch are never what you want to go by. You always want to refer to your owners manual or call your local Mercedes dealership and give them your VIN and they can tell you your vehicle's towing capacity. The different...

  • Will Hopkins Plug-In Trailer Wiring Harness Fit a 2019 Jeep Wrangler
    The Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM42635 that you referenced is a fit for 2007 - 2014 Jeep Wranglers so for your 2019 Wrangler you will want the Tekonsha T-One # 118786 instead. Hopkins currently doesn't have a wiring option for you (as of May 2019) and we have found the Tekonsha wiring to be the most reliable on the market. The T-One has the same type of plug-in connectors as the Hopkins that you referenced but it also has a hot lead that you route up to your battery...

  • How to Pick Out Ball Mount for 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500
    You'll want to first determine the hitch ball size you need. On the coupler you should see a size listed near where the ball inserts into it. Most likely it will be 2-5/16 inch due to the weight of your trailer but it could also possibly be 2 inch. I attached an FAQ that details how to pick out the correct ball mount. Picking out the correct ball mount will allow your trailer to sit as level as possible. Basically you will first measure the height from the ground to the top of the receiver...

  • Can the Ball Mount in the Curt Towing Starter Kit be Used in the Rise Position?
    Yes the ball mount included with the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches part # C45534 can be flipped over. You will need to remove the ball of course and place it on the other side. This should be torqued down to 250 ft/lbs. when installing it.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
    The best hitch for your 2023 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver item # DT78MR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Jeep's bumper bar with included hardware. The reason I like this hitch is because it does not have a crossbar. The hitch attaches directly to your rear bumper and does not drastically affect your ground clearance like those with crossbars do. The item # DT78MR hitch has a 4,500 lbs towing capacity and a 675 lbs tongue...

This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Bronco's bumper bar with included hardware. The reason this hitch is the best for carrying a bike rack is that it extends out far enough from beneath your Bronco to allow a bike rack to clear your spare tire.

  • What Curt Hitch do You Recommend for a 2021 Jeep Cherokee?
    I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, the Curt Hitch # C13171 is not designed to fit a 2021 Jeep Cherokee. With that being said, I recommend the Curt Hitch # C13395 since it will fit all models of 2021 Jeep Cherokee. The Curt Hitch # C13395 is a great choice because in addition to providing 675 pounds of maximum tongue weight and 5,500 pounds of maximum towing weight capacity, it also comes with all hardware required for an easy bolt-on installation.
