  • Trailer Hitch Availability for 2009 Mazda MX-5 Miata with Appearance Package
  • I spoke with my contact at Curt about the fitment of the Class I Receiver Hitch # C11028 on your 2009 Mazda MX-5 Miata with the Appearance Package and he said that although it does fit up to the frame, there is a significant amount of fascia trimming that needs to be done for you to have access to the hitch receiver. Normally these would be somewhere around 3" holes that would need to be cut but he said for this particular application the holes would need to be somewhere in the ballpark...

  • Comparing etrailer and Curt Hitch for 2024 Hyundai Palisade SEL
  • Hi Andrew; the etrailer # e95ZR and Curt # C13427 are identical. The only difference is the powder coat finish. The Curt has your standard glossy finish and the etrailer hitch has the matte black. The matte black helps hide dirt and also typically blends better with OEM trim on vehicles. The cross tube on both of these is concealed so only the receiver is hanging down. There might be 1/2" of space between the receiver and bumper at the lowest part depending on the trim package. It curves...

  • Is Trimming Required to Install a Trailer Hitch On a 2023 Subaru Outback Wilderness
  • Hey Paul, it looks like in order to install a hitch on your 2023 Subaru Outback you're going to need to do some fascia trimming so that part is going to be non-optionable. As far as your vehicle not having raised rails you'd need to add a set because the Rhino-Rack Rhino-Rack Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # S512 does not come with any bars. Right now I'm not seeing anything for the Subaru Outback without bars, so you'd probably need to get them added via the dealer. Once you have the...

  • etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Compatible With a 2022 Mazda CX-5
  • Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98902 is confirmed to fit your 2022 Mazda CX-5. If you have a Grand Touring model you will have an additional underbody trim piece that will need to be permanently removed for hitch installation. I recommend installing the Vehicle Wiring Harness # C45FV when you install the receiver. This will give you a 4-way flat connector. This connector can connect to most small trailers as well as provide a connector for Auxiliary Lights # C53201. The auxiliary...

  • Why Is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame So Much Easier to Install Than Other Hitches for a 2022 Subaru Outbac
  • That's because all of the other hitches for your vehicle is going to require you to fully remove your bumper, but the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT73RR only requires you lower the exhaust and trim the heat shield.

  • Best Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Wiring Harness For a 2022 Acura MDX
  • I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C22HR as the best receiver for your 2022 Acura MDX. This receiver has a hidden cross tube with a design that does not require you to have to trim the rear fascia on your MDX. That will make it much easier for the at home DIY installer to fit the receiver. The Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59236 will give you a 4-way flat connector. The Curt Easy Mount Bracket # C58001 will provide you with a secure mounting point for the 4-way that does not require...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring For A 2004 Saturn Vue Redline
  • Hi Troy, For a Saturn Vue Redline you'll need the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98865. This is confirmed to fit your Redline model but will require a decent amount of trimming on the rear fascia in order to fit. If you're planning on towing a trailer then you'll want to pick up the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118418 as well.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2020 Toyota Corolla XSE Hatchback
  • I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11567 for your 2020 Toyota Corolla XSE hatchback. This is confirmed to fit your hatchback while the Curt # C34UR you were looking at fits the sedan models. I have also included an image below of the # C11567 installed on the XSE trim so you have the reassurance of knowing it fits. I prefer the Curt over others for your vehicle as the welded portion of the receiver is made in the USA. You will want to install the Curt T-Connector Vehicle...

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2014 Mercedes E350 Sedan with Sport Package
  • We had another customer ask about a 2014 Mercedes E350 with the Sport package and determined that Curt trailer hitch # C11001 is a fit. There are no 2 inch trailer hitches that will fit though. There may be some trimming required because of the Sport package (if the rear fascia hangs lower on those than standard wagons). If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch....

  • Can the Yakima Roof Tracks Be Bent/Cut for Install On a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  • Brad, yes it's totally fine to have 1/4" on either side of the tracks # Y01127 - Yakima just states that the tracks need to be aligned with each other and that they are symmetrical on the vehicle. As far as your roof being curved that's also fine, these rails can be bent for installation. Lastly, for trimming to fit specific lengths, you can do this as well - you'll just want to make sure the cut(s) are clean and that the end caps can be put back on.

  • Parts Needed To Install A 7-Way On A 2017 Toyota Highlander With Factory Tow Package
  • Hi Charles, If you have the factory tow package in your 2017 Toyota Highlander then you'll just need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # 56042. This plugs right into the factory wiring hidden behind the trim in the back of the vehicle. I've attached a video below where Dave will walk you through the installation process. From there you would need to install the # ETBC7, which will need to be wired in the following manner: Black - 12v power source with...

Luckily for you the Ascent has a 7-way option that does not require the installation of a 4-way first.

This wiring harness will plug into the connection point behind the rear interior trim panel. Once installed, you will have...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Limited
  • To add a hitch to your 2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Limited, I recommend our etrailer item # e23ZR. This hitch has been confirmed to fit all models of the 2023 RAV4 including the hybrid. It is custom fit and bolts to your Toyota with included hardware. This hitch is identical to the Curt item # C13416 with the exception of the matte finish you referenced. I prefer this finish because it blends in better beneath the vehicle's trim then the glossy coating on the Curt. The etrailer Hitch item...

  • Recommended Hitch w/ Best Ground Clearance for a 2019 Toyota Sienna
  • Hey Daniel thanks for all the questions! One of them is going to be pretty easy but also disappointing, every hitch for your 2019 Toyota Sienna is going to require the panel to be removed, trimmed, then reinstalled. This is actually not as hard to do and time consuming as it may seem. As far as the hitch with the best ground clearance there are four for your 2019 Sienna and they're all going to be the same. When we test fit the Draw-Tite Hitch item # 76112, Curt Hitch item # C13343, etrailer...
