1 year later and still extremely satisfied, rock solid receiver hitch, installation instructions along with YouTube video made install a breeze on our 2016 Range Rover Sport, highly recommended product all mounting holes aligned with vehicle body mounting weld nuts, highly recommended!!

Works as expected and easy installation. Would recommend!

The holes were drilled in the wrong direction. I paid to have it installed and then realized the holes were wrong. etrailer gave me a very hard time about returning it, even after I sent them pictures as proof.
Use your local U-haul location to purchase and install your new hitch.

Installation only took myself and a friend about 3 hours. We could've done this in an hour guaranteed if we'd had a lift. We were halfway through before I remembered that to raise the ride height of the Range Rover; a great feature to have. Working on our backs, with little room is the main reason that it took this long. That and the first time learning curve. If we had to do it again on the same model vehicle, we could do it in an hour. The only other thing is that the Curt trailer hitch receiver is installed easiest if the forward part is maneuvered up around the exhaust pipes first, followed by raising the back end in place and placing the center bolt to hold it in place while the forward two bolts are screwed in place and then the rear two bolts. I was unable to slide it in from the back as was demonstrated in the instructional video for the 2016 RR Sport. Additionally, once the hitch is in place, one has to cut a u shaped opening in the under-body shield and not a window as was shown in the video. The only way that a window will work is if the under-body shield is placed over that rear center piece (shown in one photo with my hand around it) and allowed to dangle while the hitch is positioned. That might prove annoying to do and we never attempted it.
by: Nabil07/06/2020
While the construction of the hitch frame was pretty good, there were some tolerance issues I encountered. I had to use a sledge hammer to bend the tabs to the position they needed to be in to get the bolts aligned. I would definitely recommend that you start with the bolts closest to the back then work your way up. Once it was in, fit was great. I cut some holes in the lower trim that helped me reinstall the black cover on the bottom. Would have been nice to have a template that came along with it. and told you where to cut. Installation definitely wasn't a walk in the park but considering the price, worth it. Would definitely buy again.

Awesome fit. Easy to install, now I can final pull a trailer or attach a bike rack. Also I purchased the curt electrical connection as well. It is mounted on top of the hitch. Thanks so much!

I mounted this fairly easily. Needed a third hand only for a minute, otherwise it was truly a one person job. Tows my 4000lb boat/trailer with no issue.

Best service prompt and they have great pricing. Hitch worked great went on in 90 minutes with electrical. Thx so much for getting to me in two days and emailing on the weekend. Instructions were great.

The Curt products are amazing and etrailer.com is the best reseller. The product came to me on time and in perfect condition. The instructions for install were perfect and the install went great in 45 mins as expected. I highly recommend etrailer.com for terrific products and service. Save yourself money and hassle by using them.

Installed with ease. Directions were very helpful when needed modification for rear cutout.

Great hitch for the money! Super easy install after following a short video I found on youtube. I installed the hitch receiver myself but had the dealer install the Land Rover OEM wiring harness and reprogram the computer. The dealer tried to give me a hard time about using a non OEM receiver but once they got over it, they only did the wiring harness install and everything has worked out great... The best part... it saved me hundreds of dollars! I've since pulled my boat (malibu Wakesetter) several times with no issues at all. I would do it all over again if I needed to.
by: David07/17/2021
Perfect fit. It saved me $[xxxx] compared to dealership cost for just the part. I did it myself in under 2 hrs.
by: Dale 09/22/2021
It couldn't have been easier! My dealership wanted over $2000 to install a trailer hitch. I spent a couple hundred instead. And thanks to the pre-drilled and fitted hitch, along with video instructions from etrailer.com, I had it all done in under an hour.
by: Mfriedl03/20/2018

This hitch is very easy to install and an hour or two would have been fine other than one problem I added. The wiring harness is really, really close to the main, long bolt at the back of the hitch. When I tightened that bolt, I pinched and severed two small wires.
Ugh!
It's very tight in there so splicing was a bit of a project. However, this was my own fault.
I highly rate this hitch!
Thanks etrailer for the ease in ordering!!
by: Rafael 07/03/2021
Yes and yes and yes, it's everything they say it would be, super heavy duty and definitely easy to install, I did it with very minor help, actually I did it with just moral support and tool handing by my wife.
The most difficult part for me was cutting the plastic piece only because I was super sketched about it, in the end it looked flawless after I rasped the edges smooth. I definitely recommend this product.
Make sure you don't tighten any of the nuts until all four are in place and partway threaded, the alignment of all the holes is fairly precise, I wish the holes were slightly wider.
I didn't have a lift so I just raised the suspension to offload plus with my iidTool, but I could se how it would take under van hour with a lift. It took me a total of 1 and 15minutes to actually install the hitch receiver.
Enjoy

by: Ingrid07/01/2021
Awesome assistance with picking out the correct hitch for my vehicle. Customer service was excellent as was the website and ordering process. Would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting to purchase a part for their auto (like a hitch) and bypass the dealership’s excessive fees for parts and labor.
by: Sean04/12/2022
It came bent BUT I’m 99% sure it’s because the frail mail man dropped it at my front door because the thing weighs like 60lbs and was sticking out of the box when I found it. Once I was able to straighten it out and get it installed, it worked great.

It sounds like that the side brackets were knocked out of alignment. This can happen while in transit to our facility or to you. It did most likely occur when it was ped. We do have a great FAQ that provides ways to move the brackets back into alignment so the hitch can be installed.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch
- Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport HSEThe Curt hitch part # C13243 is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Range Rover Sport HSE and would be an excellent choice for carrying a bike rack like you are planning on doing. If you are looking for an easy to load and very stable bike rack that's a great value the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z is a really great choice. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Replacement Mounting Hardware for Curt Trailer Hitch C13243There is replacement hardware available for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13243, though a single bolt is not available, it does require the full set of replacement hardware. For that, what you will need is the Replacement Hardware Kit for Trailer Hitches # RHK. If you'd like the replacement hardware, to order just lick # RHK, enter "C13243" in the "Hitch Item Number" box, select "Curt" from the drop-down menu. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well...
view full answer... - Recommended Heavy Duty Trailer Hitch For A 2010 Coachmen Freelander 32BHWe do have much heavier duty weld on hitches available, like the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame # 41991 that can be paired with the 7" Weld-On Bracket Kit # 4907 or 16" Weld-On Bracket Kit # 4916, but there will not be a bolt on option available. It should also be noted that your 2010 Coachmen Freelander 32BH motorhome is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds, so you should not exceed this amount. If you still wanted to get something heavier though, the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame # 41991 will be the best...
view full answer... - Hitch Receiver For 2018 Land Rover Range Rover HSEI'm pleased to advise you that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13243 is a fit for the 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport HSE. All non-trailer loads like bike racks should be supported with stabilizing straps # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt. There is no drilling required for installation. The underbody panel(s) and/or fascia must be temporarily loosened or removed and trimmed. If your 2018 Land Rover Range Rover is not the Sport...
view full answer... - Does Curt Hitch C13243 Fit 2016 Range Rover Sport TD6I checked with Curt and they do not list any exclusions for the diesel versions of the 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport with a diesel engine for their hitch part # C13243 so it would fit and work well. There is no drilling or fascia modifying to install this hitch either. You will need to remove a panel but it can easily be reinstalled once you remove the hitch.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch for 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Sport With Full Size SpareFor your 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Sport we have the Draw Tite hitch part # 75229 which fits with the full size spare. This is the best option for you since the Curt equivalent does not fit with the full size spare. This hitch will work great with your Thule bike rack as well.

It is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C13243. This is a Class III hitch receiver with a 8000 lbs towing capacity and a 800 lbs tongue weight. It installs below the rear bumper trim for a hidden design where only the actual receiver is visible.

- Trailer Hitch for 2021 Land Rover Range Rover SportFor your 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Sport the Curt hitch part # C13243 is a confirmed fit and would work great. It has great towing capacities and is mostly hidden too since only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper. If you need trailer wiring too the 7-way kit part # 118275 is a confirmed fit and installs easily.
view full answer... - How to Carry e-Bikes with a 2019 Land Rover Range Rover SportI do have a solution for you, but it's going to look a bit different than what you're asking for because of 2 things; 1. trunk mount racks can only hold lighter 35 lb bikes, and 2. the only trunk mount racks that fit your 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport are the high-end SeaSucker options that use vacuum cups to mount on the body of your vehicle. With all of that in mind, I recommend installing a trailer hitch and a hitch mounted bike rack because it is the only solution that will be able...
view full answer... - Comparing Curt and Draw Tite Hitch for 2016 Range Rover SportThe Draw Tite hitch part # 75229 and the Curt hitch part # C13243 that you referenced are very similar in design. The big differences are that the Curt is made in the USA and the Draw Tite does not have the recommendation to use a stabilizer strap when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack. Reese actually was made by same company as Draw Tite, so if you were wanting a Reese hitch the Draw Tite basically is that.
view full answer... - Comparing the Curt and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitches for a 2020 Land Rover Range Rover SportThe Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75229 and Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13243 are both excellent options for a 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch because there will be less modifications required for installation and in my personal experience the finish and fit is a tad better than that of the Draw-Tite Hitch. The Curt Trailer Hitch has a hidden design so only the required receiver will be visible from outside the vehicle. In...

You mentioned also towing a jet ski trailer, so since you have a ball mount already you just need a vehicle wiring harness # 118681 to allow your vehicle to control your trailer lights.

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring Fit for 2020 Land Rover Range Rover SportAbsolutely! Starting with the hitch for your 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Sport, I highly recommend the Curt Class III # C13243 because of its superior black powder coat finish that tends to last longer than those from other manufacturers. This custom hitch will use existing holes in the vehicle's frame rails for a simple bolt-on (no-drill) installation and it features a robust 8,000 pound towing weight capacity.

That said, it does require trimming of a plastic under body panel. This may or may not need to be replaced when the lease is up, that would really be between you and the dealer whether they ask you to replace it or not. It won't be very noticeable at all as the panel is on the underside of the vehicle. In regards to the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part...

He did say that if you have the factory spare with the black wheel then it should fit just fine but if you have an aftermarket full size spare then it will not fit.

view full answer... - Hitch Recommendation For 2020 Land Rover Range Rover SportThe Curt hitches like part # C13243 for the 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Sport require the stabilization strap part # 18050 with accessories because the Land Rovers are not designed to handle a lot of tongue weight and accessories like bike racks are considered all tongue weight which puts a lot of leverage on the setup. Both the Draw-Tite Hitch part # 75229 and the Curt hitch will be recessed under the bumper because they install exactly the same. I have attached a video snip showing...

- Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying an E-Bike with a 2016 Land Rover Range RoverThank you for the picture! Based off of that it looks like your 2016 Land Rover Range Rover is either an Evoque or a Sport. If you have an Evoque then I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13128 but if you have the Sport use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13243. Both options give you what you need to carry a hitch mount bike rack but a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 must be used for non-trailer products (like a bike rack) to keep in accordance with the Curt warranty.

Instead you will need the Curt # 13455 which is a 2" hitch that is a bolt-on installation so no drilling into your Discovery's frame will be necessary. For wiring which will give you a 4-way connector and allow you to power your trailer's lights you need Wiring Harness # 119178KIT. I also recommend checking out Ball Mount Kit # 989900, which is for 2” hitches and may fulfill your towing...

Judging by what install pictures look like for the hitches for your vehicle like the Curt # C13243 I don't think you'd have an issue, but since I don't know what hitch you have your best option will be to measure to find out for sure.

From what Curt tells me, if your vehicle has a full sized spare tire it will not fit back under the vehicle once the hitch is installed. If you'll be using the hitch for towing purposes, you'll also need a # 119250KIT trailer wiring, a ball mount like # C45240 and a trailer ball.

Excellent hitch, no issues a year later. Like in my review, had to use a little force to get the bolts to line up.
