    Guys, I can't get past the horribly bad packaging for this shipment. I was away when this arrived at my house. My neighbor was kind enough to put the box in my garage. He sent pics showing the horrible condition of the box and that the trailer hitch had poked out of several areas. I have yet to open it, but have to assume the contents are damaged and may have some parts or hardware missing. THE BOX THIS WAS SHIPPED IN WAS NOWHERE NEAR BEING UP TO THE TASK!!!!

    Yikes! It does indeed sound like the box had a rough trip. I will have our Customer Service team contact you. If anything was damaged or lost when we can replace it.



    by:

    this bracket holds the flat plug exactly as it should and it mounted to the supplied bracket on the hitch



    by:

    I am unable to use this bracket at this time due to a back ordered item I have been waiting on from etrailer for a month now. Hard to believe etrailer can not source a receiver and a wire bundle for a month. I'll probably return the bracket since I can't get the hitch I ordered from etrailer.

    Thanks



    by:

    etrailer.com is consistently awesome! Not only do they have the parts I want at prices I feel are fair, but they've got a ton of great review and installation videos that are super helpful.



    by:

    Great products. Good installation instructions. Wiring was plug and play.

    I wish you had a bracket to hold the C42CR on top of the receiver like the one I built from 1/2” flat stock. See below.



    by:

    It's worth the money to purchase this when installing the receiver. It gives the receiver a clean look! No hanging wire harness! Thanks again Etrailer!



    by:

    Item #C42CR was not in the delivery package. It has not been received.
    The hitch was received in good order and was installed as hoped. I am extremely pleased with the tow hitch. I highly recommend it.

    Great to hear that about the hitch! I will have our customer service team reach out to you about the missing bracket.



    by:

    Was advise the originally ordered part was on back order, switched to this item per etrailer recommendations. arrived very quick, and went together as advertized. What a GREAT bunch you have there. thanks for looking out for me, and ps I saved some money using the recommended replacement.
    GOOD JOB!!



    by:

    This is not the first time I have purchased from etrailer.com and I strongly suspect that it will not be the last. I have found that they have great products, reasonable prices, ship promptly, keep you informed of how your order is progressing and stand behind their products.



    by:

    Was easy to install and it made for a neat install for my trailer wiring hookup.



    by:

    All items were in same box with the tail lights loose in the box. Gladly the lights were not damaged. I'm hoping this way of shipping is not typical for trailer. Thanks



    by:

    Great product. Right price, fast delivery, and quick response time. Thank you.



    by:

    Follow the great video that is available thru etrailer website and you will not have any install issues..purchase the wiring kit and bracket and the install will go as planned. The products are built to last and fit is perfect..
    READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS before install...



    by:

    The bracket worked perfectly



    by:

    It doesn’t come With the self driving screws, but the bracket was perfect for what I needed. Fortunately I had some self driving bolts that worked perfectly. I believe 7/16 or 3/8 was the size of the self driving bolts that I used



    by:

    No mounting hardware included with this product. I have to go to ACE to purchase the mounting screws, washers and nuts.



    by:

    The etrailer components and install guide worked perfectly. Saved me hundreds from local retailers.



    by:

    Fine bracket - holds 4 pin connector se curely.



    by:

    Hot trash. Absolutely does not fit the 4 pin y'all sold me. Shameful.

    I hate to hear that it is not fitting. I want to help and I have a question for you. Is it that the bracket is too small or too big? If the bracket is too big, you can use electrical tape to thicken the four way connector to help it stay in. Or if it is too small then I recommend using a different bracket such as part # HM48595 to hold the 4 way in place. It is also made by Hopkins so it will fit.



    by:

    This mounting bracket is great for securing the flat 4-wire connector. It looks very factory!



    by:

    Easy and simple. Only gave 4 stars because item did not come with mounting bolts. Easy fix with bolts I had on hand. No drilling required because it was compatible with the Draw Tite Class III (76034) I also purchased from etrailer.

    No issues since the day I mounted it.



    by:

    I'm going to tap two screw holes in beam and attach curt mounting bracket. It would be nice if the holes were included with the trailer hitch.



    by:

    Worked great I ordered the universal mount for it also, but did not use it. I put the Draw Tite undermount hitch on Grand Cherokee last year and didn't realize it had the mount welded on it. Advice check yours before ordering.



    by:

    A strong and versatile bracket to mount a 4 prong trailer connector.
    Quick and easy online ordering.



    by:

    I WAS GOING TO GET A HITCH FROM ANOTHER COMPANY THAT SELLS AND INSTALLS HITCHS [AND RENT TRUCKS AND TRAILERS]. THEY MADE IT SEEM THAT IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO MYSELF, AND THEN I DID SOME LOOKING ON YOUR WEBSITE, AND WATCHED YOUR VIDEO. YOU SHOWED STEP BY STEP ON WHAT DO. TOLD ME TO LOOK FOR WIREING HARNESS THAT HAD A PLUG TO PLUG YOUR WIRE TO. EVERTHING WAS JUST AS HE SAID, IT TOOK ME 1 HOUR TO INSTALL HITCH AND WIRE HARNESS, SAVED ME AROUND $[XX], THANK AGAIN.

    • 2021 Kia Soul Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendations for Towing a Trailer
      To get your 2021 Kia Soul ready to tow a trailer you're going to need a trailer hitch, wiring kit for the trailer lights, and a ball mount kit.

If you choose to still do so I recommend using the parts mentioned below. I recommend going with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C67FR and T-Connector Wiring # C89KR for the parts that install on your...

      The best trailer hitch for your 2023 Toyota Highlander is the Curt Hitch item # C99FR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Toyota with included hardware. It is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity and a 500 lbs maximum tongue weight.

      I have attached an installation video of the # 118258 wiring harness on a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe for you. The installation is pretty straight forward once you have gained access to the factory connectors. To do this, you are going to start by lowering the spare tire, and then you would open up the cargo area and remove the access panels, threshold trim, trunk floor panels and trays. Proceed by removing the trim panel on the driver side, but make sure you remove the fastener on the driver...

    • What is the Difference Between the etrailer and Curt Hitches for a 2023 Subaru Forester?
      Cost and finish. You are correct they are practically identical because Curt makes both the etrailer item # e83ZR and their item # C13409. Both are confirmed to fit a 2023 Subaru Forester and are made to the same specifications. I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e83ZR because of the flat matte finish. The etrailer will blend in better beneath your Subaru's trim than the Curt item # C13409 with its glossy finish. Saving money is always a nice perk as well. Our house branded hitches...
