etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2"

This connector worked fine. No instructions.
Just remember. The standard connection is:
Yellow = left blinker
Green = right blinker
Brown = brake
White = ground

No problem to attach as I had both a schematic for my vehicle ( so I knew which wires to look for) as well as a 6/12v testing light. With these, the connections were easy.1617220

Perfect fast shipping and great quality hitch!2455352

First of all, this Curt is a nice SOLID, WELL MADE hunk of American Iron! A++ for that! But this seller Etrailer.com is also AWESOME! They shipped quickly, and had EXCELLENT communication all along the way, right up till delivery! Oh, and it came with all necessary grade 8 hardware, AND rather ingenious fish wires to fish the bolts thru with! Seriously guys, just buy here!1604558

I generally will buy Curt products over other choices because they tend to be high quality, made in USA (my home town) and install easily.

This one was a bit of a disappointment. It came bent from shipping damage (poorly packed) and the coating was cracked... Not Curt's fault, obviously, lesson learned: don't buy a hitch off the internet. I was surprised the coating chipped and started flaking as easily as it did however, didn't seem to be bonded very well to the steel.

The install was more difficult than it should have been. The heads of the carriage bolts don't fit through the holes as directed in the instructions, they are about .2" too big on the diameter. I could have hacked/ground them to fit, but chose to remove the entire bumper fascia, bumper, etc. and install them through the end.

The other minor annoyance was that the hitch uses standard sized fasteners, including an oddball standard-headed-metric bolt to go into the OE bumper, whereas you need an 18mm socket to remove the OE hardware...

So its unfortunate that it gets a 'good' rating due entirely to saving a few cents on fasteners, and finishing.

Also worth noting the videos on this website have a habit of glossing over the more difficult parts, perhaps to make it easier to sell stuff. I'm a pretty adept mechanic and by the time i had to bend the hitch back into shape, and remove the entire bumper, the install ran me just short of 3 hours.


I would say if your time is worth anything, you are probably better off buying this hitch local and paying someone the quoted install time of 1/2 hour shop labor, and letting them deal with the liability of shipping damage or install complications.


I did just tow a 3000 lb ski boat over 1500 miles with the hitch, it tows noticeably better than the class 2 hitch that was on my old 2000 Caravan. Plus, the 2" receiver accepts more 'standard' bike racks and stuff like that. Paying a little more for the Class 3 is money well spent.


TL; DR: good hitch, probably the best one available for this car, especially if you plan on doing any serious towing (boat, camper, etc) but buy it local and pay someone to install it or plan on 2+ hours and some cursing. 143222

Great product, great price! Delivery was fast and all components were packaged and padded well. The hitch fit like a glove on my 2001 Chrysler Town & Country. and installation went smoother than expected. Thanks for the informative video on installation provided on your website. Highly recommend that several days prior to installation that you start treating your original frame to bumper bolts (the two that require removal) with liquid wrench or break-free, as this is the only part of the process that could give you difficulty. Mine came out without breaking, but it takes an impact wrench, and they were understandably stubborn after 17 years!
Thanks again etrailer for providing such fine service and value!517650

Installed hitch on 2001 Chrysler Town and Country. Installation relatively simple. I watched the video for this hitch and also watched the videos for the "Hidden Hitch". (Code: 87717) The videos had bunch of great tips!
The plastic cover on the end of the frame rails are a pain. I have bigger hands and arms, and it was difficult to put my arm in the area between the frame and bumper to bend the plastic cover inward into the frame to pass the bolt and square washer. It is possible to get in the area to do it! It only ships with two fish wires, but installing the hitch one side at a time (driver then passenger) worked great. The mounting area of the hitch was slightly bent inward on the hitch I received. I was able to get it bent back out using some wrenches. You may want to hold up the hitch to verify the alignment of the holes. Overall time took me about 1 hour to install (most of the time was searching for tools in my parents garage). I Jacked up the back end and put jack stands under the axle to make room enough to easily work on it. It could be installed with only one person, but simplifies the process to have an extra hand.143573

I have a 2002Chrysler town and country minivan with a rear swaybar. And this hitch installed without any problems. The tricky part was fishing the bolts thru the frame but was not a big deal once the plastic cover is pushed out of the way. The bolts lined up as they should and took less than an hour for the completed installation.123005

The hitch is awesome but the installation was very difficult. I am an import automotive mechanic and have been at it for over 40 years. This install on a 02' Dodge Caravan was not entirely like the video i watched. First of all, getting past the plastic covering the frame rail entrance was all but impossible. Then you had to get past 1 bolt on the way to the front entry hole. Managed to pull the fish wire off the end of the bolt trying to get past it. At this point i opted to weld the front tab and bolt hole to the frame rail. With the remaining wire fish , i was able to install the back 2 bolts with little difficulty except for the afore mentioned plastic covering in the frame rail. 64283

I own an automotive repair shop and buy almost all of my hitches, wiring and brake controllers from Etrailer and have great success. They always set me up properly with what I need and ask the right questions. Thank you for making this hassle free! 253916

Hitch worked great & was easy to install. We've used E-trailer for trailer LED lights and we've been pleased with the products, prices and delivery. 260083

Product is great. Exactly what I expected it to be. This is the second time I have purchased through etrailer.com. First, always buy the Vehicle specific wiring harness. It makes things so simple and saves hours of time. Second, the customer service, product offerings, speed of shipment and delivery is the BEST ON THE INTERNET!!! I got an email within an hour of my purchase saying it was completed and shipping that day. Product arrived a day early. I am a customer for life!!!
Not to mention the how to videos are such a time saver. 220705

The product was delivered on time and was exactly as advertised. Plug and Play into the existing wiring harness. Using the instructional videos on the website, the harness was neatly installed.746883

I was satisfied with the quality of the product and the prompt delivery. However, the installation video was somewhat misleading. Perhaps, it should have included an explanation that the trailer hitch cannot be easily installed UNLESS you remove the rear bumper and showed potential buyers how this is done on this type of vehicle. It took me probably 4 hours because initially I was trying to get this done without removing the bumper. 171426

It worked fine and I would give it 5 stars except the installation was more difficult than it should be, the two front bolts did not match the holes in my frame and required some cutting and drilling. Apart from that it was good quality and a good fit. 570524

I put a 2-inch receiverhitch from ETrailer on my 2002 Chrysler Town & Country. It is so well-made & strong as an ox. A rare bargain for the price! Very satisfied.801919
