Perfect for light-duty towing, this custom, vehicle trailer hitch receiver features fully welded, gloss powder coated steel construction.
Had the hitch installed with the only use for a bike rack. It was $185 for the installation. The mechanic said it was one of the tightest hitch installations he had done in 40 years being a mechanic.Second time using the bike rack it was off because one of the bolts broke. Single bike not even close to exceeding the weight limit. Need to schedule to have it removed. Would not recommend this product to anyone who has a 2006 Subaru Impreza.
I had the same problem a lot of other reviews have complained about. The holes in the bracket were off by a full bolt diameter on one side. Fortunately I've alignment punches and I was able to bend the bracket into place. Unfortunately I don't have an M12x1.25 tap to clean up the threads I mauled. Also, I need to figure out how to rehang the muffler because neither of the hangers can be reused. 2000 Subaru Impreza.
Mounting holes on the hitch didn’t line up with the threaded inserts on the car frame rails. Exhaust hanger hole on the hitch was not located properly either.

Well that sounds like a flexed hitch problem to me. I have a link below that explains how to correct it for you.

Had some shipping issues that were on UPS’ end. ETrailer (Samantha) made it right. This is the 3rd hitch I’ve purchased from them and I wouldn’t look anywhere else. Always an excellent experience.
Solid hitch. Fitted to a 2003 WRX to mount a TireTail to bring a set of race tires to events. You can fit a 3in exhaust with this but I highly recommend extended hangers if you don't want to hear the occasional clank.
Great buy and easy install on my 2005 WRX Wagon. Helps to have a second set of hands to help clear the exhaust/bumper and get things aligned.
I tow a kayak trailer around every weekend, and this hitch is perfect for the job.

I've installed hitches from trailers for customers multiple times, decided to give it a shot for myself. As expected, everything lines up perfectly. My hitch did not come with new bolts or a hitch pin, some do. Overall 5/5 for faster than expected delivery
A very good product with clear instructions.
I would suggest watching the videos on the website a few times. They have been well done.
Also to use a lift or ramps so you can work underneath the vehicle.
There was a bit of fiddling to get the tow hitch to fit but nothing major. The whole job was done in an hour.
I would also suggest another pair of hands.
I will be recommending this company for my business - I sell trailers and customers can order their hitches from etrailer.
Came bent and won’t even fit my car.

Hey I am sorry that you have not been able to install the hitch. Was it the side bracket that was bent? Honestly sometimes the side brackets can become bent out of alignment while in shipping. If it is only off by a half of an inch, then it is possible to bend it back to install the hitch. I have an FAQ below that can help. Please contact us if you are not able to flex it back or install the hitch.

Ordered the drawtite brand first, then found out it wasn't going to be in stock for another month or two. Spoke with customer service and they changed my order to the Curt brand which arrived within a week of calling. Installed it the next day with no issues. Fitment was perfect and only took me about an hour to install. Product seems strong and built to last.
Got the job done and done well! If I remember correctly (this was a year ago) there was one part during installation that wasn’t lined up right on my ‘03 Subaru WRX. But i was able to install and got where I needed to go so all was good
Quick delivery easy install, keep your driver side muffler hanger the hole in the hitch does.not line up well very happy
I have not tested out the hitch but installation went ok. The only issue was the holes for the driver side did not line up. Must be a common issue because others [online] had the same issue. Not a big deal. Had to use a sledgehammer to get it straight. Took me quite a while to put on because I live in rust valley so bolts were a challenged to take out.
Excellent Purchase experience -beyond expectation. I was given reliable purchase advice, from knowledgeable staff -rare these days. Good prices on a hard to find item. Delivery arrived 3 days sooner than expected. Can't do better than that. (And I am a critical purchaser)
Was not lined up on bolt holes, had to heat and bend to fit. Other than that it works well.
The install took minutes! Great fitment on my JDM wrx. It enabled me to tow my jet ski with no issues whatsoever. 10/10, would recommend
Bolted right in only took 30 minutes to install. It is very strong and not too noticeable.
What a pain to install. It’s nice to have a hitch on my car though

It is very unusual for this to happen with a hitch. Would you be able to send a picture of the location of the bolt? Have you reached out to the manufacturer?
