Specs:
The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.
At etrailer we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers.

We've installed it, we've wired it and we've towed with it, so whatever your question, we can answer it.

This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Matte black, powder coated steel is durable and corrosion resistant and creates a rugged look.Mounted on 2012 Xterra. Great Hitch, fits perfectly, and I installed easily within an hour by myself. No doubt easier with a 2nd pair of hands, but you do what you have to when you're by yourself.
Definitely loosen the tailpipe exhaust bracket - helped immensely. The top of the tailpipe clears the bottom of the hitch by about 3/8". Beautiful engineering -I highly recommend this product.
It went on easily enough, and has performed excellently, towing first an aluminum 14' runabout, and now a 17.5 Glastron Ski/fish combo boat. Never a problem with the hitch.
Ordered for my 2013 Xterra, easy install, took about 2hrs.
Also ordered the wiring kit which I would recommend.
Very happy
Easy install. I recommend power tools if you live in a rust area and the vehicle has been on the road awhile. Running a tap through the holes being used is a big help, especially the bolt holes that did not have a bolt in it. The hitch is of good quality and install was straight forward.
Great hitch at a very good price.
Easy to look for product and shows if it fits your vehicle.really fast shipping
Excellent customer service with the best price and shipped fast. Thank you
Excellent adhesion to tank, good wire quality, now I have to wait for it to get cold to see if it works!
NO ISSUES
I totally bought from etrailer because of all the "How To Install" videos. I bought hitch #13514 and light kit #118525 both from etrailer. Install could be a one-person job, but I would recommend two-person. Installed hitch and light kit in about an hour with two-people. After install I added a self-adhesive Diamond designed rubber matt on the hitch step, this avoided any foot slips. I bought the rubber matt from Harbor Freight. I think etailer should make this an enhancement to the hitch. I also used velcro straps to keep wiring tucked away until needed, also purchased from Harbor Frieght. Both hitch and light kit are very well made, not cheaply made. I am very satisfied with the product.
Thanks for asking. Got the hitch today. Looks like everything is here. And in good condition. I'm amazed how easy it was to look up and order and how fast I got it. May not install for a few days or week or so. But I will send pics and give update when complete. U guys have a great weekend . Thanks!
I ordered this for my 2013 Nissan Xterra S. This product shipped to my address quickly and undamaged! The instructions for installation were easy to follow and clearly indicated what tools were necessary to get the job done right. Not only this, but I watched a YouTube video to confirm the proper installation of this on my 2013 Nissan Xterra S.
Installation was possible by myself, but to make things easier I had someone help hold one side of the hitch receiver so I could quickly lock the bolts into place. I did end up needing to lower the muffler and completely detach the spare tire to install this. Total time was about an hour without using any power tools.
The product was a PERFECT FIT and looks great!! Haven't used it to tow anything yet and am happy it doesn't stick out too far. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable hitch receiver that is made of quality materials and looks "natural" for their vehicle. If I had to, I would but this all over again.
I had the hitch for about a year now. The assembly process was easy and straight forward, just remember to loosen the exhaust brackets as instructed. I feel that the powder coating is not top quality as I already have lots of rust spots on it. I may need to take it out and send it for re-powder coating at a local shop.
The step on top is sometimes useful but most of the time annoying because you can't reach underneath it to unlock the pin.
It's not an expensive tool but it has it's disadvantages
Worked great. See the bike rack attached to it! My mechanic put it on and said it was the easiest hitch he has ever put on! Great price. Worked like a charm.
Trailer hitch was easy to install. Works great for the two uses I had: pulling a lightweight trailer and receiver hitch rack and bike carrier. Only complaint with the Curt manufactured hitch is that the receiver shaft is too short to allow room for the locking pin to fit (as you see in the pic).
So far so good.
After foolishly selling my OEM Nissan receiver hitch I was in the market for another quality part. I poked around the web and saw Curt had great reviews, and I had seen the name over the years. I read a bunch of the reviews here and decided that this was going to be my replacement receiver. Shipping was free, and quick. The box arrived in great condition as did the receiver.
Install was a breeze, I had removed my OEM one months prior to installing this so the bumper bolts weren't difficult to remove at all. However, if you haven't removed your bumper bolts I HIGHLY recommend spraying them with some form of penetrating lubricant to help break them free. A breaker bar or air impact gun might be useful as well. Total install time was under 30 minutes. I didn't have to remove my exhaust hangers or bumper, just carefully slid the passenger side up and over the exhaust. I did place a t-shirt over the exhaust pipe to prevent scratching the brand new powder coat of the receiver. The bolts provided worked perfectly and the fitment of everything was great when all was said and done.
I did add some non-slip grip tape strips on the step portion of the receiver to prevent a fall when standing on it when wet. Check out my pictures to see how I applied them.
This was my third order from etrailer over the years and their level of customer service is top notch, which is why I keep coming back!
