Perfect for light-duty towing, this custom, vehicle trailer hitch receiver features fully welded, gloss powder coated steel construction. Drawbar sold separately.Your service is great!!! Received it very quickly. The tracking was great, it kept me updated on my delivery..
SUPER HAPPY!!!
Purchased to carry a bike rack for my 2009 VW GTI. Fits good, looks good. I like the look of the round bars of the Curt hitch to the square bars of the Hidden/Draw-Tite hitches. Have not noticed any vibration issues yet, but then again, I tend to keep my stereo up a bit loud.
Customer service was great when I needed to reschedule my delivery due to a short notice business trip that popped up after placing my order. Nikki at customer care was great. No difficulties at all and everything arrived when expected and in great condition.
Had to take the hitch to a local mechanic because I do not have the ramps or torque wrench for a DIY installation. Took them an hour to install, but they were upfront with me that they don't install many hitches. A U Haul installer is probably faster and a little cheaper since they have more experience. But my mechanic is walking distance to my house, so it was worth the convenience.
I also bought the Swagman XTC-2 Two Bike Platform Carrier which is in the picture. I'll leave more detailed feedback for the bike rack on that product's page.
Nice and heavy duty.
If I ever get rid of the car I will remove it and use the steel for something
Exact fit , all hardware included plus readable and understandable instructions
Fast delivery too .
Hitch arrived promptly and installation on 2008 Rabbit went well. I haven’t pulled my kayak trailer yet but expect no problem. VW clearance is low so a heavy tongue weight would be difficult, but that’s not a problem with the hitch.
Good, solid product.
The installation video was very helpful and gave me a good, clear idea of how to install this hitch.
The only thing I wish I would have known: I needed a ~6" extension to reach the bolts.
Overall, this was a great experience with etrailer.com
Package arrived very fast and in good condition. Product lines up perfectly with existing holes on frame. Tricky to install alone, but takes about 30 mins after unpacking and reading directions.
As advertised. Fit perfectly. Video was helpful with installing. Shipped in box that is too big. Save money and use smaller shipping box. Happy customer.
The install went okay. Definitely easier and quicker with two people and a lift. Installation using jack stands and only one person was challenging. The hitch is secure enough, and installation instructions were sufficient.
I'm wondering if this model is the right fit for a 2007 Rabbit. The hitch receiver tube is actually touching the rear muffler, and I'm worried this will eventually put a hole in the muffler. I can hear the muffler rasp and vibrate against the hitch receiver tube at certain rpm's, so there's definitely some rubbing going on between the hitch and muffler.
The Curt trailer hitch I bought for my 2007 VW GTI has worked perfectly. I like the design and low profile look. It was very easy to install too. The main reason I got the hitch is so I can hook up a bike rack and go mountain biking.
Ordering the hitch from eTrailer was easy and my shipment arrived quickly. I will continue to shop here.
The hitch itself looks nice, was easy to install and fits my 07 GTI well. The only fitment issue I'm concerned with is the angle of the receiver opening as it exits the car. It appears the opening sits at a slightly upwards angle (so as to follow the lines of the car and for increased ground clearance) instead of being parallel with the earth. I've not hauled with the receiver yet. If the angle poses a problem, it can be addressed with a few additional spacers.
I was kind of dreading the install on my little VW GTI...but wow it was easy. First the hitch was delivered within 3 days (was expecting 7 plus). It was packaged nicely and the hitch itself was protected very good within the box. Hitch was unblemished. Secondly, the install video on the site was very helpful. Thirdly, I set aside a few hours yesterday for this task and it took me about an hour. However, 40 minutes of that was to find my ramps so I could get the rear of the vehicle up in the air. I saw other posts that indicated needing stands and/or 2 people but I did it with me laying on the creeper with the hitch resting on my stomach. I got the hitch in place, threaded the wire (for the new bolt) through the hitch and installed/snugged up the existing bolt. I then removed the wire and threaded the new bolt on a little. Did the same for the other side. Tightened everything up and torqued it down. Highly recommend etrailer.com! Excellent service and prompt shipment. I will be ordering another hitch for my wife's vehicle in the next few weeks.
Curt hitch for MkV GTII installed this receiver in my driveway using a set of car ramps, two jack stands to hold the receiver, and the tools recommended in the instructions. Be sure to have both 18mm and 19mm sockets on hand. I took my time and installed the hitch in 2 hrs including a few breaks to warm up from the 20 degree weather. Maneuvering the receiver into place is awkward but otherwise the install is very straight forward. In hindsight I could have done this install with a buddy inside a garage and saved well over 1/2 the time.
I use my receiver to hold a Swagman XTC bike rack. After two uses there have been no fit or wobble issues. Since the GTI is fairly low to the ground I'm cautious entering and exiting some driveways. So far I've only scraped once going up a super steep and uneven incline.
I really like the look of the Curt compared to some other receiver hitch options. It's also fairly well camouflaged under the rear valence.
This is actually the 3rd hitch I've bought from eTrailer and I can't say enough good things about their customer service and pricing. Additionally, shipping is always fast and reliable with my hitches arriving within 3 days.
Hands down the best place to buy a quality trailer hitch anywhere!
Solid hitch. Easy to install. Use regularly with a Yakima rack to haul my mountain bikes.
Bought it to use with a hitch mounted bike carrier. Fit well and easy to install. The short installation video on the website made it a breeze.
2008 Volkswagen rabbit. Easy install I did without help. Bolts right up.
I tow my little teardrop trailer with my little rabbit.
I would recommend this product and etrailers service to anyone. Excellent company and products.
Works like a champ! It was easy to install, and I haven't had any issues with it at all. Absolutely fantastic product that's helped make moving far easier. Thank you!
Fit right on, very nice finish. and installation was a breeze on my rabbit with the video and the provided bolt holding guide wire provided. Can't beat the price.
great price & service, except for the fairly deep scratches in the hitch's finish. once again poor packing of heavy items results in customer loss.
Great product and fast delivery, install took 20 minutes for the hitch and 45 for the harness.
Awesome product. Simple installation. Very satisfied. Thanks etrailer.
Installed without any drama. Perfect fit. Sits within 1/4" of the valance without hitting. No issues whatsoever installing or fitting. Need to loosen the exhaust hanger bracket, but that's just some 13mm nuts. Easy. Totally recommended!
Hitch arrived quickly, and went on in about a half hour. The Curt Hitch looks awesome on my 2007 GTI. I will be recommending this website to all of my friends.
Shipment was prompt, product is quality, installation was not complicated and went pretty easy.
Would definitely use etrailer again!!
