Haven’t used it yet, but looks good. I’m not sure what height offset I need, so this kit gives me several options, plus two ball sizes. Really good value.

2018 Subaru Outback Wagon
I installed the draw tite hitch onto my brand new 2018 Subaru outback. I'm 68 years old, not as strong as I was, but proud to say I did the job all by myself in about 4 hours. Here are some tips you may find useful. Watch the video-it’s pretty good. I had difficulty getting the exhaust system down and worried about getting it up again from the moment I got it down...read on-help will follow. I bought a stepup drill bit which worked great for drilling the hole in the chasis. I clamped the hitch onto a floor jack, then rolled it and raised it into position. Used metal shears to easily cut out the heat shield as per the video. Your inclination will be the screw the fishing tool provided all the way up the carriage bolt. That won’t work; just screw it on to the tip of the bolt. I couln’t get the exhaust hangars in place even after lubricating them with wd-40. I dropped the rubber hangars into undiluted liquid car wash soap which made them much more slippery than the wd-40. After that the rubber hangars slipped into place pretty easily-that’s my best tip. Finding the electric connection plug for the wiring harness was almost as hard as installing the hitch. I was very happy with how the job came out. Good luck.

My tow hitch is everything I’d hope it would be. I saved money installing it myself. It bolted on to my 2020 Passport perfectly and looks very good. I haven’t had a lot of weight towed yet but it has been perfect for my scooter carrier to hold my Honda 150 adv. I highly recommend etrailer for your hitch. You’ll be glad you did

Very nice, high quality wiring harness. Simple install, especially with the etrailer install video on youtube. Everything you need. Plenty of wire ties for a clean install both behind the trim and under the car running the harness outside. There's even a piece of 2 sided tape to mount the little control module box on the wheel well so it's not flopping around. I was considering going with the factory Honda hitch and harness, but their harness is 7 pin and I only need 4. Not to mention it's way more expensive. The Draw-tite hitch has a built in bracket to attach a 4 pin harness bracket giving a clean factory type look. When removing trim, beware the screw that holds the tie down anchor on the driver's side. I managed to strip mine and needed an EZ out to get it loose. No fault of the product, of course, but just be aware! Everything was in stock and arrived super quickly.

I'm not much of a review writer but for etrailer I'm willing to give it a go. This part came quickly, made of solid construction, and was super-easy to install. From the time I opened the package until the time it was installed was literally less than 2 minutes. The lock washer-nut to secure it makes it unnecessary to hold the nut in place with a pair of pliers. Once threaded thru to tighten, it was about 3 turns on each screw and I was done. The bracket fit perfectly to the hitch...talk about teeing up an "Easy Button" for the customer. Finally, I've interacted with their sales and service department also, they are top-notch, smart, and professional. I purchased my trailer hitch from them also (actually I have their hitches on both my vehicles).

This is my second trailer hitch, I have purchased though etrailer. Quality is great, my only problem with this one is the box. The bottom of the box was torn all the way across. The box had to be re-taped close. The hitch has scratches and paint missing. The hitch and the box it came in is excellent quality. My suggest, when packing the hitch, put bubble or styrofoam wrap around the three end. That way it will not move in the box and still have some give to it.

Connector bundle easy to install & worked great. Although the instructions say to feed the bed connector from the bottom it seemed easier to feed the bumper connectors from the upper the bed connector hole

Ordered hitch receiver with wiring for bike rack installation on 2019 Ford Explorer. Everything arrived in less than a week. Crawled under the car with my burly son and finished the installation in about an hour. Toughest part was getting the exhaust hangers off. Didn't have a tool for that. Online installation video was a big help. Hitch frame rubs against right side exhaust hanger, hence the four star rating instead of five. Exhaust still appears to be level and no weird noises, so not an issue. Get the little plug in light tester. It's worth it, then keep it in the glove box. Haven't purchased bike rack yet, but no concerns about the hitch.
