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.

I expected to spend a couple of hours and lots of frustration but I had installed in about 45 minutes and everything went smoothly. Just follow the instructions. Especially the part about removing the 4 white clips from the bumper fascia. I'm happy!
Great quality hitch. Easy to install too! Although we bought it to use with our cargo carrier, it now holds our e-bikes. So glad we got it. It came quickly and E-trailer followed up on delivery. What a great company!

Weve had the product for a year now and it is still working great - no issues at all!
Works well. I use it for my bike rack.
Very well built.Associated hardware package contains everything needed for installation.
Not as hard as I would have expected. On my application I had to install the frame bolts after the hitch was installed to the bumper bolts but still was fairly easy to install by myself.
Worked great. It’s a rack hauler for the wife’s handicap chair. Took me and the son about 15-20 minutes. To be fair we’ve installed several on different family vehicles. One thing that’ll help get it up there is removing two star screws that hold the plastic on the bumper. That gave it just a little more wiggle room. I’m going to try and attach a few pictures of the bolts and stuff. Watch the exhaust if it’s hot.
Instruction need some tweaking as actually installing was a little different than it was explained in directions. Other than that it fit perfect and works well.
High quality product that fit well. Installation time might be 30 minutes if you have a lift or two people. For a one-person job with no ramps or lift, plan on an hour.
A+ for service. Order was processed and shipped out less than one hour after it was placed on line. Arrived faster than expected even with it being a holiday weekend. Hitch looks to be very durable and stable, and mounted under my car perfectly in under 25 minutes and the price was great too! I'm a very satisfied traveler.
It was harder to install than I thought it would be. I installed it by myself and it was difficult to get the hitch in place, but once it was in place, the rest was easy!
Fast delivery & well made product
Great service
Pretty easy install, took me about an 1-1/2 hours to install by myself. Watched a couple of the videos on my make and model. Plus one on the wiring.
This is the third hitch I’ve installed from etrailer, they were all easy.
Quick and easy install I had the hitch on on less than an hour following etrailer video tutorial delivery was fast and product came in great condition
great hitch best to have help with the installation.
Easy installation after watching video took less than one hour My biggest problem was that I didn't realize I needed to pinch the clip after releasing the red clip on the dust cover
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2”
(Item # C13405) was a perfect fit for my 2019 Buick Envision. As described by eTrailer, it was a simple drop-in installation with no modifications needed.
The instructions recommend two people for the installation, to help maneuver the receiver frame into place. This involves some flexing of the plastic bumper and sliding the receiver frame around some bumper brackets on both sides. However, I was able to do this myself, with the vehicle on the ground (no lifting needed). I used a small tool box to support one end of the hitch frame while I jockeyed the other end into position and onto the stud. With one side in position, I moved to the other side and was able to get the frame fully into place … and then bolted in. It would have been easier with two people, but it can be done by one person with some planning and patience.
The instructions were thorough and easy to follow, and the entire installation was completed in ~ 30 minutes.
The Envision is equipped with a hands-free power lift gate, which is activated by kicking your foot beneath the sensor at the rear of the vehicle (driver’s side). There were some questions about whether or not this sensor array and wiring would interfere with the installation of the trailer hitch receiver. In my case, the sensor array and wiring were out of the way and did not impact my installation … and the lift gate sensor works perfectly after the hitch receiver was installed.
I purchased and installed this hitch receiver primarily to mount a bike carrier. Since this hitch receiver is set back a little bit underneath the bumper, which is visually more appealing, there was a concern that the bike carrier (which swings in and out of place for access to the lift gate) would not have enough clearance from the vehicle and bumper. However, I confirmed that the location of the hitch pin hole (which is 6 1/2” set back from the bumper’s outer edge) would allow the bike carrier to be installed with more than enough clearance.
The attached photos provide some ideas about the spacing and overall appearance of the hitch receiver and bike carrier.
I am very pleased with this hitch receiver. It is well made, very sturdy, and easily installed. The ordering and delivery process was quick and efficient, and eTrailer provides a lot of useful information and videos to support the installation process. I would certainly recommend this product and supplier to my family and friends.
Took me longer to gather the tools than to install the hitch! The one thing I did was to remove the lift gate control from inside the bumper so as not to break the mounting. Once the hitch was in place I put the mount back inside the bumper. Works perfectly and is really a breeze to install. I really like the way it's all tucked up inside the bumper cover, it makes it look so much more factory!
