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.

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.The hitch finish is great, it looks awesome. But apparently the hitch bends very easy. Hitch was bent in shipping box or elsewhere because the left side did not line up at all. The hitch mounts seem flimsy ish. I was able to get the exhaust side bolts in place and the nuts started but then had to use a pry bar and a Jack stand to get the holes lined up enough to get the bolts through on the left side, they were off by a whole 1/4 to 3/4” of an inch back and front hole respectively. It seems the mount was bent in towards the right side of the car instead of being straight to line up with the bolt holes. It was tricky not to lose any bolts in the frame while installing since they only provide you two Fishwires to keep tabs on the bolts. My car has never been in any rear accident so I don’t think it was my cars issue. Either way, I’ve been wrenching 20+ years and it was nothing I couldn’t handle to get installed. Took me roughly 30 min with a lift. Now I’m ready to haul my sled this year!!
Installation went well. As per instructions stating that slight modifications may be necessary, I did need to drop the tail-pipe/muffler hangers again and dent the muffler top slightly to eliminate a rattle/chatter. The unit has good welds and finish.
Excellent product and very proud customer. Excellent customer service. The hitch has been used quite a few times since the purchase. 10 out of 10. I highly recommend.
quick delivery and easy installation. fit perfect!
It works great and was easy to install.
really great little hitch. fits perfect on my ‘06 CRV. easy to install even by yourself (or at least that’s what my boyfriend said when he installed it for me haha)
GREAT FITS PERFECT!
Item was as advertised, fit perfectly.
Looks to be good quality - made in USA! Install went good. Did it by myself .
Always excellent product and service.
Excellent product experience. No issues with delivery. Easy self-install. Very sturdy and holding up well after 1 year so far.
This hitch was exactly as advertised and fit my CRV perfectly!!! Used spray bottle with soap & water to lube the two upper muffler rear hangers and they slid off with little prying needed (did not need to remove the lower hanger in front of muffler). etrailer's installation videos for installing both this hitch and corresponding 118336 wiring harness were spot-on and very helpful (also a good video on the Curt website). Took my time tightening the hitch bolts to specs which was a bit awkward until I thought to use my ratchet extension bars. Maybe the easiest "car repair" I've ever done, and probably saved a lot of $$$ doing it myself. If you can change your oil, you can do this installation no problem!
Also, etrailer promptly shipped this product for free (thanks, guys!) and it got here a day early. GREAT COMPANY! When I save up enough to buy roof rack rails in the near future, I'll be back...
I rarely give a 5-star rating. However, in this case it's necessary! I attempted to install my new etrailer Hitch Receiver but eventually discovered the mounting holes did not align due to shipping damage. I called the customer service group and rather than doubt my story, they immediately shipped me a new part AND sent a shipping label for the bad one! The new receiver went in easy-peezy just like the one I did years before on a different vehicle. Well done to the folks at etrailer.com
It’s the 1 year anniversary of my hitch apparently! This bad boy has been used exclusively to carry a hitch mounted 3 bike carrier on my CR-V, and it’s done a great job at that. My bikes are bae and they’ve been safe and secure alllll over the country the past year. I also fondly recall the easy install: Only took about 45 minutes, a beer, and a ( now ex-) boyfriend to help hold up one side . Didn’t get surprised by needing any specialty tools or anything, just what I already had in my standard box. 10/10.
I was happy that the package arrived a day earlier then expected, although the box was damaged all the part were there and nothing inside was damaged. the directions were clear and concise with with minor help from a friend and a scissor jack the install was fairly quick easy.The only down side was there wasn't an invoice with the package and the wiring harness didn't include directions to run the wiring to the outside of the vehicle.

It sounds like your hitch may have been flexed during the shipping process. I am happy to see that you were able to get it mounted anyway and that it is serving you well! If you find yourself in this situation again where you are needing to correct a flexed hitch, check out the article I have linked below. It goes over a few different ways you can straighten a flexed hitch.
