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.

2018 Subaru Forester

Ball mount kit arrived quickly (within a few days) upon placing order online. Parts were shipped loose in box and bottom flap on box was open when received. Fortunately, all the parts were still in box and in good condition. Kit includes ball mount hardware I need to pull trailers with different hitch heights.

Towing Capacity for 2018 Chevy Traverse AWD
5,000 lbs appears to be the weight capacity of the 2018 Chevy Traverse if it has the 3.6 liter V6 engine and 1,500 lbs if the engine is the 2.0 4 cylinder. Those figures are the fully loaded capacity that your truck can tow. If you are going to be at the capacity of vehicle a weight distribution system would be recommended. For that I recommend the Strait Line part # RP66082 which has a tongue weight range of 200-600 lbs and features the best sway control designed to fight sway before it starts. If you need a trailer hitch too you'd want the Curt part # CU29FR or the etrailer # e56YR and you'd be set too. For a brake controller I would recommend the Redarc Tow Pro Elite part # 331-EBRH-ACCV2. This is one of our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This controller also has a very small knob that installs on the dash instead of much bigger controllers. For wiring you will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C56394. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.

Honda Passport

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

2022 Honda Passport

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.

The entire transaction from my ordering phone consult with Alex J. to the landing of the hitch/accessories at my doorstep exceeded expectations. The hitch install and wiring of harness was quite easy after viewing their install videos. Alex also gave me great advice to affect a direct connect of the wire harness to the bracket on my Drawtite hitch. Install video only showed an interior storage option for my Honda Passport. Highly recommend etrailer and the people that made my buying decision very easy.

Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring for a 2022 Honda Pilot Black Edition
I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98840 for your 2022 Honda Pilot Black edition. This receiver is matte black to match well with the matte black accents on your Pilot. The receiver has a hidden cross tube so you will only see the receiver under your rear fascia. With a weight capacity of 900lbs tongue weight and 6,000lbs towing you will be able to pull a variety of trailers. A weight distribution hitch will increase your towing capacity to 8,000lbs. Be sure to not exceed any manufacturer rating for your Pilot from Honda. The 4-Way T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118760 will control the trailer tail lights on small trailers. It can also be used for Auxiliary Lights # C53201 in the event your bike rack or cargo carrier impair the view of the tail lights. For larger trailers that require a 7-way the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118286 will give you the wiring for a 7-way connector. It also provides you with the fuses to install in the front engine compartment to power the tow package. Then you will be able to install the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR with the Harness # RED59FR for trailers that require an electric brake controller.

How to Add a 7-Way Connector to a 2019 Honda Passport
I would be happy to help you set your 2019 Honda Passport up with a functional 7-way connector. The Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package item # 118291 you were referencing will not work with an existing 4-way connector or function as designed by splicing it in. This adapter plugs into your vehicle's factory tow package wiring harness. The converter plugs into the factory wiring harness in your rear cargo area, on the driver's side. This adapter only works if you have the tow package. If your Honda Passport doesn't have the tow package and/or only has a 4-way connector you will need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat - 10 Gauge Wires item # ETBC7. The kit includes a pre-wired 7- and 4-way trailer connector that mounts easily at the rear of your Passport with an included bracket. This kit is designed for use on a vehicle with an existing 4-way flat trailer connector and plugs directly into it. These two parts are the only way you can add a fully functional 7-way connector to your Honda Passport. If you need a brake controller I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller item # 90195. This is a proportional brake controller that activates your trailer brakes in proportion to your Passport's braking action. It automatically adjusts the trailer's braking based on deceleration of your vehicle.

Recommended Brake Controller and Installation for 2021 Honda Passport
I see that you'd looked at the Curt item # C51170 Spectrum Brake Controller. While I really like the idea of a remote-type brake controller that features a control unit that mounts out of sight under the dash with a knob that mounts within the driver's reach, I prefer the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty, part item # RED24FR. The control knob of the Liberty is smaller, and if it's installed in an un-used switch knockout in the dash or by using a mounting bezel like item # 331-TPSI-001, you'll end up with a less expensive controller that would provide a much better, almost factory installed appearance. Really the only advantage the Spectrum has is that it can handle a trailer with up to 4 axles, which you likely wouldn't tow with a Honda Passport anyway. To install the Liberty, you'll need the Redarc universal wiring pigtail, part item # RED69FR. You'll also need the item # 3070-S which would wire color for color with the item # RED69FR pigtail and would plug into the factory brake controller connector located to the left of the steering column near the top of the e-brake pedal.

2024 Kia Sportage

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.

Solid enough, seems to only be able to slide through one way. I put it in the other way for a cleaner look but now it doesn't hold as well. I had to put a small bead of silicone to hold it in place.

Will The EcoHitch Fit My 2022 Subaru Forester With Wilderness Trim Package
After doing some research The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7391 is confirmed to fit your 2022 Subaru Forester with the Wilderness trim package. I like the EcoHitch over the other hitches that we offer because it has a concealed cross tube. The hidden cross tube will install behind your Subaru Forester's rear bumper, leaving only the receiver visible beneath it. If you plan on towing a trailer I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118467. I like this plug and play harness over the others we offer because it has a more reliable converter box and will last longer than the other harnesses that we offer. You will also need the Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45554, which includes an 8-1/4 inch long, powder coated ball mount with a pre-torqued hitch ball; hitch pin and clip; hitch receiver lock with keys; hitch cover; and a storage case. I linked two installation videos below of the EcoHitch and the T-One harness being installed on your exact 2022 Subaru Forester. If you have any further questions in regard to your towing journey, please reach back out to me and I will be more than happy to further assist you in your towing endeavors.

All of the parts would work great on your 2022 Toyota RAV4 with the Curt hitch part # C13416 that you have installed. The Curt harness part # C56434 is confirmed as a fit for your vehicle. You could use the 3/8 inch wire loom # 39035 to keep it protected, use the part # 18144 with the # 18136 to mount it to your hitch tube, and then use the tester # I26 as well to know it works.

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.

Nice and thick, stay in place and keep the pins corrosion free. For general connector lube, this will last me a long time.

Trailer Brakes Do Not Engage While Towing With 2012 Toyota Sienna
I took a look at the owner's manual for the 2012 Toyota Sienna and was not able to find a fuse location dedicated to trailer brakes. There was a fuse location for trailer lights but not brakes. It makes sense that the fuse location does not exist because the 2012 Toyota Sienna only came pre-wired for a 4-flat trailer connector from the manufacturer not a 7-way connector like what is needed to power trailer brakes with a brake controller. It sounds like you may have a 7-way connector hardwired on the Sienna. To find out why the trailer brakes are not engaging the first step is to inspect the 7-way pins for corrosion, damage or dirt. If the brake output pin is bent or damaged the trailer brakes may not engage. I also recommend to check the ground wire on the 7-way connector to make sure it is ground to a clean bare metal surface. We have found that corrosion and ground problems are the reason for malfunction in most of our wiring situations. If all of your pins are clean, not damaged and the ground is okay then it sounds like you have a short on the brake output wire somewhere between the brake controller and the trailer brakes. Check the brake output pin on the 7-way vehicle connector with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 while someone applies the manual override on the brake controller. I have attached a photo that shows the pin positions of a standard vehicle 7-way for your reference. If the circuit tester is fully illuminated then you are getting full voltage to the pin on the vehicle side and the issue is on the trailer's side wiring. Check the brake output wire (most commonly a blue wire) on the trailer side for frayed or damaged wiring. You also want to check the grounds on the braking assemblies to make sure they are properly grounded to a clean bare metal surface on the trailer's frame. If the circuit tester is not showing full power (dimly lit) at the brake output pin or no power at all, then the brake output wire between the brake controller and the vehicle's 7-way is the issue. Since your 7-way is hardwired on the Sienna, you want to check all of your connections at the back of the brake controller to make sure they are not loose. Check all of your connections from the brake controller, especially the stop light switch. Check the ground the brake controller as well. You also want to make sure the 12V power is properly connected to the battery. The last step if you are still having trailer brake issues after you checked the connections, is to test the blue wire from the back of the brake controller. You can cut the blue wire 6 inches back from the brake controller to test for voltage. If you do not have proper voltage there, the brake controller needs to be replaced. I do not think you will need to go this far because like I said a lot of wiring issues comes down to the ground or corrosion on the 7-way pins.

Why are My Trailer Brakes Losing Power?
One thing to do to troubleshoot your issue with the brake wiring is to make sure that you are getting power from the vehicle's 7-way to the braking pin on your trailer's 7-way connector. I went ahead and attached the diagrams of the pin setups on different styles of 7-way connectors. If you need a circuit tester, I recommend part # PTW2993. It is possible that there are some frayed wiring and some corrosion at the pin location as well. When testing this circuit, it is important to use the manual override on the brake controller instead of simply stepping on the brake pedal. As far as the wire that connects to your trailer's brakes from the trailer's 7-way, I went ahead and attached a diagram that shows the wiring setup for the wiring that goes to both sets of brakes. As you can see, the blue braking wire should not affect the brake lights of the trailer in any way. With that being said, if you are having trouble with the driver's side brake lights, that is a separate issue from the brakes. You will need to go through the process of checking for wire fraying and corrosion in the connector as well.
