Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2"

I’m very pleased with the entire process, ordered my hitch Thursday morning and it showed up two days later. Box was still in very good condition, and hitch looks to be in great condition also. Thank you E trailer.1745070

Products are as described. The packaging was poorly thought out. The box it was shipped in was twice as big as it needed to be and there was nothing keeping the hitch from rolling around in the box. My trailer wiring harness was thrown in the same big box as the trailer hitch, so when the hitch bounced around in the box during shipping, it smashed the package the wiring harness came in and it’s contents came out and rolled around inside the big box. Nothing seems damaged but I haven’t had a chance to install or test any of it yet.1284264

I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.

This hitch fit my 2007 Subaru Tribeca, perfectly. Installation would have been much easier if I REALLY read the very simple instructions. I used I floor jack to hold the hitch in place while installing the nuts. That's the only way I could handle it, alone.539283

The hitch is still working great. The finish is holding up nicely. No rust!

Decent receiver for my Subaru Tribeca which is rated for 3500 lbs max tow. Easy install and beefier than the other brand I considered. I only give 5 stars if price point is exceptional for the buyer.1535095

It arrived in 2 days. Easy install. It bolted right up w/ no problems...the videos are great.
It's advertised as not interfering with the bumper cover but I did have to trim it slightly.
This is my 2nd etrailer.com purchase. Well satisfied both times.

Still in good shape after a year of use. No problems at all.

Although the hitch fit my '07 Tribeca perfectly, the instructions provided seemed to deviate quite a ways from my install. The initial two bolts and spacers installed with little difficulty, and no need to remove any plastic fascias, but in order to install the bolts and spacers in the A frame it required me to remove a trapezoidal end cap from the peak of the A frame, which was held by four 12mm bolts. Once I removed that cap install proceeded smoothly. Fit and finish are great, and as a bonus my order arrived a day early. Would definitely recommend etrailer based on my experience1432220

Good product fairly easy to install. Packaging was bad, hitch was sent in a extremely oversized box with one of the arms sticking out of the box. Hitch was dirty, chipped, no protection in the box. Not a real issue since you don't see it anyway.1312272

What I would recommend would be to use a rust resistant paint like Rustoleum to touch up the hitch prior to installation. It is beneficial to have the spray paint on hand as over time the hitch will develop nicks and and scratches from road debris.

I havent used it to tow yet so the only thing I can talk through is the install. In all a pretty frustrating process but then anything involving being stuck under the car for the better half of an hour usually is. Keep in mind the hitch is pretty damn heavy and while I managed to fish all but one of the bolts with no problem trying to maneuver the hitch into place without the bolt pushing back into the frame was pretty tough. I kept the fish lines the bolts and threaded them through the corresponding hole in the hitch but even with that they often went back into the frame so I ended up holding this heavy chunk of metal with one arm while threading the bolt with the other hand. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and in retrospect the better thing to do would have been to use a few bungee cords to strap the hitch up allowing me to make the connections easier. The car I was installing on was a 2009 Subaru Tribeca not B9 and when I was done there was no way the connector tabs for the bumper were going back in place. You can tell from looking at it but it does pull the bumper material out of line at the bottom.77158

Awesome. It was so easy to install. I have used numerous times without issue. I am also getting ready to order one for my sisters car.

Great customer service. They didn't have my hitch in stock (I have a very uncommon vehicle). They called me within an hour of placing the order to notify me and give me options to speed up the delivery if needed. I chose just to wait for it to arrive and them ship it with the wiring harness I ordered and it still took just over a week. Excellent company. 234728

I ordered on a Tuesday, and both parts arrived on Thursday! As soon as they arrived I received an email from customer service asking if everything came in OK and if I needed any additional questions answered. I have never installed a trailer hitch before and this was extremely easy to do. The only part that I needed help with was torquing the nuts. Other than that it was very easy and looks great. Have not yet had a chance to use, but hopefully soon. Etrailer.com was wonderful in providing a video and instructions. I think if I would have only followed the paper, I would have been confused! If you are concerned at all, ASK! They will respond. Highly recommend.659087

Everything about the order process and the customer service was truly outstanding!
I do however wish that the packaging would have been better for my hitch. It was in a huge box without any filling, and one long side of the box was nearly opened all the way. I do understand that it is a heavy metal hitch, but also think it should have been packaged better, especially since shipping companies don't handle products gently!

Product was as described, fit my vehicle perfectly and was as simple to install as the video described! The biggest challenge was getting the old receiver hitch off. 795911

took me 1hour to instal it -good idea with the fishlines,and yes you have to loosen up lower part of bumper-not remove it -i tried with it and just to tight to put it in,... harness took me 1minute-if you have foam tool box removed look in back left corner -just snaps in place and left the cable inside . part are solid,and looks good after thanks!21570

Hitch and wiring kit were easy to install and the tips and videos were a big help.

I Purchased this as a gift for my son-in-law. It was easy to install and he has made good use of this hitch over the past year.318833

Perfect fit. Other than a small challenge trying to fish the wires through the bolt holes for the top bolts getting this hitch installed went off without a hitch. 679410

Fit well wenton easily 1561998

Great hitch. Much easier to install than any other I've done in the past. Tucks under the bumper nicely so my wife doesn't think it's hideous on her car.359899

Tribeca hitchWorked exactly as planned. Took a little longer than expected due to the paucity of instructions but we got it in with minimum problems.4407

Just right! It fit without any modifications made to the vehicle and is exactly what I needed to finish my off-roading rig!1322759
