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.
At etrailer we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch.

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.After reading the installation instructions online and seeing the time for the average person to install the hitch, I took on the challenge. A challenge it was. Not because the hitch didn't fit right (it is a snug fit, however), it was because this is a 16year old Town & Country with 306,000 miles on it.
I had to use a half inch drive impact tool with 6 point sockets. By the way, the three rearward bolts are a 15mm head and the single forward one is an 18mm. Getting the hitch up and over the leaf spring has to be done at a severe angle in order to allow for the width. Once pulled back rearward it was challenging to get it raised evenly, even using a floor jack. But it did eventually line up enough to get a bolt in on each side. Putting in the forward bolt went well on the driver's side, but in order to line up the passenger side I had to resort to a 12lb sledge hammer to nudge that side of the hitch forward to fit the bolt. I must say, all in all, a very nice fit. Tight is good for a trailer hitch.
Used on my 2005 Chrysler Town and Country van with Stow and Go seats.
In order to install this hitch you’ll need to lift the center of the car body using a jack to let the leaf springs sag a little. This will open the areas where you need to slide the hitch into between the leaf springs and all that’s underneath the van.
It will make it easier to guide the hitch into the areas of their respective mounting hole locations.
It took a bit longer until we realized this situation but it aligned fine with the threaded holes and we fastened it with the factory screws. Fits snug.. Nice Job!!!
great trailer hitch, same as Curt 13389. good construction and solid piece. Faster shipping and availability. Thank you, Terri N.
very heavy duty
Excellent fit . It took me about a hour to install on a 2005 Chrysler town and country stow-n-go van .I installed by myself using 2 Jacks.
Quality work it fit perfectly.
And by the way I'm 71 years all , it took me longer to get up to move side to side then to install lol .
Great fit!....shipping took a few days longer than expected but overall very happy with product
arrived fast
Very very fast shipping. Excellent fit. . Enjoyed that the tracking showed me who received my order. Who packed my order and when it would arrive. Well built hitch and easy to install. Will definitely shop here agin for my hitch needs
I had to use a sledgehammer to align the bolt holes up with the frame other than that works fine.
Very easy install my 10 year old and myself installed in under an hour
It was an exact fit no drilling or weld ing.
The Curt Trailer Hitch was a perfect fit. However, it was a struggle to mate the hitch flange for bolting. However, the two of us were working with close clearance and fitting the two ends in the area of the vehicle springs and spring mounts. Using a vehicle lift would have made the job easier. Instructions were easy to follow. It is a two-person job to install the hitch. The hitch is made of high quality and really looks nice!
Everything good install of hitch wasn't going good at first had one side lined up and bolted slightly other side was a little off until I used a line up tool and it moved over the room I needed for bolts great fit wiring was easy highly recommend these
Great customer service on the phone. Very quick delivery. I haven't mounted the hitch yet but it looks great.
Installation was somewhat difficult. The hitch was about a 1/2 in to narrow. I needed a piece of wood and a 3lb hammer to set the hitch in place. The attached photo shows the interference with the body flange.
It then took a specific bolt tightening sequence to get the holes to line up.
1. The most forward, single bolt was started.
2. The center alignment bolt for the leaf spring bracket had to be 3/4 tightened.
This step aligned the rest of the holes.
3. The rest of the bolts could then be installed.
I have not yet towed, but I'm confident the Hitch will pull my pop-up with no problems.
I will review the wire harness separately.
Very fast shipping. Curt hitches are very good quality hitches. I have bought them before and they work great. Install was not hard but a little tricky. I definitely used and needed 2 people for the install. Everything fit perfectly once installed. The videos on etrailer were awesome to watch and made installation very easy. A word of advice: make sure to spray down the mounting bolts on your vehicle a couple of days before your install. Then try and pre-loosen them before your install day as well. This will make for a smoother install. (Actually I did this even before ordering the hitch to make sure my bolts would come loose and the install would be possible)
Shipping from Missouri to Colorado was fast. I had the hitch shipped to a UPS terminal and when I arrived to pick it up it was pointed out to me that it had broken through the box in two places. Packing rates a C minus.
I installed the hitch as a solo effort made easier by getting the van up on jack stands and using my floor jack to position the rather heavy hitch. To say the fit is tight is an understatement. Eventually, everything went together but I had to get out the BFH to do some fine tuning.
The hitch hugs the rear bumper and is unobtrusive. If it weathers well I'll be quite pleased with the unit.
Quality hitch. Easy to install using existing bolts on van. Will be using bike rack and I have already tested it out. Works great and very solid.Highly recommend this product and etrailers information and videos help to pick right one for your application. Thanks etrailer!
Originally I ordered a different hitch thru U-Haul, but they said it was too difficult to install and they couldn't do it, so I came here and found this model. It fits perfectly. The product seems to be very well made. No hardware provided as it uses existing bolts already on car. I had it installed at local garage. They didn't want to do it, but I explained that the video showed it was easy, so they agreed to take a look. In the end they said it was difficult to get past springs, but they did it and I'm happy.
The trailer hitch works perfectly.
I have never been so happy to have bought this product. Its has gone way past my expectations. Easy to install, and has held up and pull so much more then I ever thought it could. The staff at etrailer has been awesome, the service has been awesome, I will continue to do business here.
2005 Dodge Grand Caravan with Stow N Go.Installation was a snap. Solid hitch.
