The hitch was a decent price, came quickly, and installed rather easily.

I have to admit, I was watching the wrong video for the install of this. I was already prepping with steps that were not applicable. I did have some notes to add. I did not find I needed to expand the holes in the chassis for the bolts and spacers.

There are two things I need to emphasize is, you really really really need to grind down the sealant that is left over where the side mounting holes are. If you miss any you will find that the holes will not line up and at that point, you're going to need to remove the hitch from under the car, prep again, and repeat.

Secondly, I did not find anything obvious enough showing that the bolts in this kit come with two different thread spacings. I spent at least 15-30 minutes wondering why I couldn't screw them in until I finally looked at them and realized there is a difference. That may not be an issue for some of you that think of those things, they just all looked the same, same color, same length..etc.

I would like to note, the pricing on the website is good however, the total costs shipping wise ended up slightly more expensive than another site. I needed to use paypal so this worked better. I just hope for future reference eTrailer compares their pricing for themselves since, this experience was so good it would be a shape to lose a customer over $5.

All things considered I would still come back to etrailer again. Everything was as described, shipping was quick, customer service has been excellent, and they have quality videos on Youtube to understand how to install your hitch and electronic hardware specific for your vehicle.

Thank you for the follow-up Carol! 811802

2017 Chevrolet Trax

I moved from Arkansas to Washington State last year and towed a small UHaul with my 2017 Chevy Trax, which has the new hitch that I purchased from you. Everything worked great and I had no trouble whatsoever.1657636

fit like it should and easy to put on 1759496

Excellent service! The hitch I ordered was delivered 2 days before the estimated time of delivery!
Only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 was the absolute perfection of the hitch. It was so perfect it didn't allow for the imperfections of the vehicle unibody. Took an extra 20 minutes and some strong arming with a crowbar to get it in place. Once there, it bolted up nicely. I'm overall pleased with the product and would recommend!1579834

I am disappointed that this hitch has a 1 1/2 inch receiver. I was hoping fir a 2 in receiver. My trailer requires a 2 5/16 ball. A 2 5/16 ball dies not come with a 34 in shaft required from 11/2 receiver. I'm screwed trying to make it work. The draw tight I wanted is no longer available.1535775

hitch and all parts arrived quickly and in good shape. Now the bad, one hole in the side plates of the hitch(both sides)did not line up with both threaded holes in the frame. I suspect if the frame holes were not threaded there might have been sufficient wiggle room with the carrage bolts for all 4 too align. As it was, had to lower hitch and ream all 4 holes to insure alignmentwhen reinstalling. Other than that I can see how it could be installed in 35-45 mins.1410121

If you are having troubles with the holes not lining up, it could be that the hitch has been flexed during shipment. This is common amongst hitches, since the mounting brackets are made from a mild steel that allows the hitch to flex with the vehicle after installation. If the entire hitch was made of rigid steel, there would be a greater chance of the hitch being damaged and experiencing stress cracks. Such cracks could cause the hitch to malfunction. This flexing often times will cause the holes not to align. Because of this we do have a help article I have the link attached below that will walk you through the process of straightening the hitch.

Bolt up was perfect and the hitch installed well other than a stripped bolt on the vehicle. Will buy others from etrailer in future.1545811

I've had several Curt hitches in the past and have always been very pleased. The video on etrailer's website on how to install it was very helpful. The hardware was very securely taped to the hitch, so even a large hole in the box didn't result in any missing parts. (Not likely that something is going to hurt that hunk of steel in a UPS truck.) I was especially pleased that the hardware bag included the proper fish wires for the job--it would have been tricky without them. etrailer prices are the best, and the hitches must be direct shipped from the factory based on how fast they arrive.794054

Im still 100 satisfied after a year. Its the best for attaching bike racks and for tying down the backs of canoes.

I like the design. It is as easy to install as about any hitch on small SUV's, looks great and is sturdy. The only issue is that there was an area of rust where the tube and top cap are welded when I received it. I need to address rust before I even install it.1524885

One year later- this hitch continues to be trouble free. Corrosion protection has been great. I am happy with this hitch as well as the support from etrailer

Many hitches ordered over the years….always happy with product and service.1633028

Hitch arrived quickly, was packaged well, had good directions, and was easy to install! Perfect!1642827

The hitch arrived quickly. We had it professionally installed so that we could mount a bike rack. It's working perfectly -- low profile but effective. eTrailer's website was super-helpful in steering me towards buying the correct hitch. Thank you!892791

This product could not have been any easier to install. I watched the installation video several times even before the hitch arrived so I had it in my head how things should go. I put the back end of my car (2019 Chevy Trax) up on my car ramps and went to work. I followed the instructions and it was like everything fell into place. Once I got the hitch up past the exhaust I could hold it up with my knee on one end and my hands on the other end. Got the screws started on each side on the bottom of the frame to hold it up and then the side bolts were a piece of cake. If you have a Trax like I do and need to haul small loads around, I highly recommend this product. It truly is a well designed custom fit product. I plan to purchase a 5 x 8 foot trailer with a fold down ramp that weighs 400 pounds so my pay loads will be around 800 pounds max. I think I'll nick name it "The Mini Hauler Express". No pictures because mine wouldn't be any better than the video.769841

I was Very Impressed With My Hitch for My 2022 Chevrolet Trax, It was Shipped in just a Few Days to Me and The Quality was Great! Fit Perfect, Really Have to Take My Hat Off to The Person Who Engineer The Wire to Install the Carriage Head BoltInside The Tubular Frame!! Took Me Approximately 2 Hrs to Bolt It Up!!1398303

Everything was terrific. Delivery was fine. Installing was perfect. I installed on my 2020 Chevrolet Trax in less than an hour. Everything lined up perfect. I didn't even jack up the car. Otherwise I watched the tutorials. I saw where people say the bolts don't line up. I might suggest to not tighten all of them up before you get all of them started in place. If you need a receiver hitch this is a terrific place to get it. Looks great on the car. Extremely happy!988866

Product is very nice. Installation was a bit tricky as there is what appears to be some OEM fire retardant caulk that needs to be trimmed prior to bolting the vertical pieces unto the frame. My instructions didn't identify that and it made the install time frame a bit longer than anticipated. The install wasn't too difficult overall. I give the install 3 stars and the product 5 stars. 722499

The install went great! Bike rack fits like a glove.

My only criticism is for the directions. I realize they are meant to be pretty universal however they were more complicated than they needed to be.

For my 2017 Chevy trax, there was no need to make holes bigger, only thing that needed to be done was to move the exhaust out of the way and cut a little bit of the plastic that was in the way.863313

Looks good and wiring went well because the car had a 12v panel in the driver side rear access area.1488718

Fit is perfect. Quality looks good. I'm 66 and I installed it in about an hour and a half. I am completely satisfied. This is the second hitch I have purchased from E Trailer. Very pleased.713178

Tim was very helpful with advising me what I would need to carry 2 bicycles on our 2016 Chevy Trax. I ordered what I would need and received them in 2 days. Everything was easy to put together and install and accomplished what I wanted to do. In the future I would not hesitate doing business with them again.803094

Everything matched the description and it arrived ahead of time.1491115
