This starter kit was exactly the size I needed for the hitch on my Trailblazer, and has held up beautifully this past year. I'm confident it will last for the lifetime of the vehicle.



by:

It all worked really well after we went to the store to get a bolt. The box arrived with two giant holes. The cotter pin was still attached but there was no bolt. We had to go to the auto parts store to get one.
Other than that, it has been great and worked perfectly.



by:

All parts were correct and fit each other perfectly. A good solid hitch.



by:

Worked perfectly.

Super easy installation
and it carried a U-haul 5x8 trailer 1000 miles with almost full capacity on tow-limits.

A little disappointed that the connecting rod doesn't fit perfectly into the receiver hitch. So, when there is no weight on the ball mount, it is wobbly and makes an annoying metal-to-metal clinking noise whenever you go over a ditch. You can easily correct it with a piece of cardboard stuffing for cushioning or just take it off when not it use.

Great piece of equipment, works perfectly! Super happy with the purchase.

Oh my goodness! We can definitely get that out for you. Customer Service will be in touch.



by:

Everything arrived pretty quick and the install wasn't too difficult for 1 person (would've helped to have an extra set of hands). Took a couple tries to line everything up and realize that certain brackets needed to be unbolted before the hitch would align (tow hook on passenger side, and a couple near the rear driver's side exhaust hanger).
Minimal trimming required for the underside of the rear bumper plastic on the driver's side to make room on an 05 wrx wagon. Also needed at least 1 extra long exhaust hanger (kartboy) for the rear to make everything level with my 3" turbo back APS exhaust.
Haven't gotten a chance to tow with it yet, but it feels solid.



by:

Keep with spare tire out of weather to prevent rust.



by:

Every Curt product we've purchased over the years has been perfect. Quality, fitment, price, etc has been spot on. The Curt products are far better made than Reese and Draw-Tite. Not even close!



by:

Very strong and well welded.



by:

Easy installation, good manual. No problems on day to day use.



by:

This is one of the finest companies to do business with I’ve ever ordered from. Do not hesitate for a moment to order from this exceptional company. You will never be disappointed.



by:

Product in stock and shipping was super quick!



by:

Very heavy this product is. I was very surprised when I picked up the box it came in and felt the weight, which makes me glad I bought a bag to carry it in. The last hitch I ever got, from another plac, because I needed it in a pinch for my last car during a move, wasn't even close to being as heavy and it was about the same size and had the same weight capacity. The metal on that one also didn't seem right either, didn't have the smooth coating this one does. I am quite confident this ball mount from Curt, who has been in this business for decades, will easily take the weight of my trailer, which I use for things like mulch and stone, and then some.

Of course I don't ever plan to over load it, but if something ever happens that requires me to make fast lane changes, I am confident the ball mount won't give out on me. I will still use good safety chains though, I'd be foolish not to. If it's one thing I learned i life, anything can happen no matter how much you prepare ahead of time.

So far its worked well for my trailer, making mulch and plant runs much easier



by:

Excellent product. Good professional advise given so that I bought the right product to fit my existing hitch. Courteous, professional service. High quality, good value product. Fast shipping at reasonable cost. Highly recommended. If if need other products this is the place

Great service, very helpful and friendly. If I need anything else in that line I will certainly use them

Been no trouble, it was easy to fit.

Just what I needed for my car

Received my Curt Towing starter kit for 1-1/4” hitches within four days. Made from quality material and craftsmanship. Looks and works great.

After a year using my Curt Towing kit I’m extremely pleased. Great, durable quality product. Thanks for fast efficient service.



by:

Quality product, well made, but design could be improved. The square bar that slides into the receiver on the car/truck is too long, resulting in the hitch ball being about a foot behind the bumper, at least it is on 2004 Ford Explorer. It becomes a trip, knee, or hinge hazard if not removed after towing.



by:

Pin broke with smallest UHaul trailer (unloaded) on back, dropping the hitch and trailer in the road. Fixed it with a better pin and hitch works fine now.



by:

Super fast shipping



by:

My hitch ball fits like a glove into the receiver I installed this summer on my 2003 Suburu Baja. The ordering experience was easy and inspiring. Why can't all websites be so intelligent? I haven't used the hitch yet, but it's solid as a rock so I have no doubts all will be well.



by:

Easy to slide in and out of the hitch receiver, and it doesn't even rattle around and create noise when I'm towing.



by:


Etrailer products arrive exactly as
described, they are easy to install and they are manufactured to a very high quality. I installed these on my Honda Accord and it was flawless.

I highly recommend them - David



by:

The hitch install was easy, the electrical was a bit more tedious, but all is working well.

  • Availability Of A 1-1/4" Draw Bar And 1-7/8" Ball With 0" Of Rise
    Happy Monday to you as well! I do have a potential solution for you. We do not carry a draw bar with a true 0" rise, but what you can do is use the Curt Class 2 Drawbar # C45503. This has a 3/8" rise, and will be the closest thing we have to a 0" rise. You can use it with the 1-7/8" hitch ball # C40001. Keep in mind that with this setup, you are limited to towing 2,000 lbs or less.

  • Trailer Hitch Fitment for a 2023 Hyundai Elantra N (Not N Line)
    The only exceptions to the fitment of the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT75MR on a 2023 Hyundai Elantra are the N Line and Hybrid models. Since your N model is neither one of these you'll be good to go! Keep in mind that this is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver so you will be limited to carrying 2 bikes with it and a total tongue/towing weight of 200 lbs/2,000 lbs respectively. To tow a trailer you need the T-One Wiring # TK86FR and a ball mount kit like part # C45147....

  • What 4-Way Wiring Harness do You Recommend for My 2021 Hyundai Venue?
    With the Draw-Tite Hitch - 1-1/4" # DT24MR on your 2021 Hyundai Venue, I recommend the T-One Wiring Harness # TK64VR. The Tekonsha T-One comes with a better-quality converter box than the Curt T-Connector # C89CR. The T-One provides your trailer with basic turn signal, brake light, and running light functions. To complete the setup, I also recommend a ball mount/ball like the ones that come with the Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45147. This kit comes with a hitch pin and a 2-inch ball.

With the Curt T-Connector, you will be able to have brake light and turn signal capabilities on your trailer. If you need ball mount for your trailer, I recommend either the etrailer Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches - 3/4" Rise or 2" Drop - 7,500 lbs # 989891 or the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 1-1/4" Hitches -...

This trailer hitch has a class I, 1-1/4" receiver which can be used for towing (if applicable) or hitch mounted accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers.

    I may have a solution for you, but unfortunately the Curt # C45147 has a 3/4" hole for the hitch ball shank and I'm unable to locate any of the ball mounts we have available for a 1-1/4" hitch receiver that will allow for a larger than 3/4" shank diameter. With that said if you're towing with a 2021 Subaru Outback, those would typically have a 2" hitch receiver and have ball mounts available with holes for hitch balls with 1" shank diameters; you could use something like the TowSmart...

I checked with Ecohitch they did not start making hitch receivers for the Jetta SportWagen model's until 2010 and the Jetta sedans until 2015. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C11474. This hitch receiver is a confirmed fit for the TDI models. It has a towing capacity of 2,000 lbs and maximum tongue weight of 200 lbs. This is a class 1 hitch with a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver...

  • What is the Difference between the Curt C12188 and the Draw-Tite # 36660 for My 2021 Ford EcoSport?
    You are correct that for your 2021 Ford EcoSport there are two trailer hitch receiver options, the Curt # C12188 and Draw-Tite # 36660. These hitches are very similar as they both share a similar design meaning they have roughly the same installation difficulty. Both hitches have a 1-1/4" receiver opening, and both also have the same 350lb tongue weight and 3,500lb trailer weight rating. With that said I recommend going with the Draw-Tite # 36660 due to it not requiring an stabilization...

    Yes! For a great 1-1/4" hitch for your 2022 Chevy Equinox, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" # C98CR. Not only does this hitch provide you with 525 pounds of maximum tongue weight capacity and 3,500 pounds of maximum gross towing capacity, it also comes with a superior gloss outer coat over the base powder coat that provides ultimate rust and corrosion resistance. The Curt hitch is also assembled here in the U.S.A. Unfortunately, we do not carry...

  • Is There A Fixed Straight Hitch For a 2" Receiver With a 2" Hitch Ball?
    A Tri-Ball mount like the MaxxTow # MT70021 is going to be the only style ball mounts we have with no rise. You can use the Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 2923 in the rise position with a 2" Ball # 63845. This will only sit 3/4" above the top of the receiver opening. It would be the closest we have to the Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45147 you found.

    Since both trailer hitches for your 2016 Acura TLX, Curt # C11535 and Draw-Tite # 24942, have a 200 lb tongue weight, even if there was a carrier that fit the smaller 1-1/4" receiver the weight of both the carrier and your Honda CRF150F dirt bike would be well over that. This means that the only option for you to transport your dirt bike with that vehicle is by towing it with a trailer.

  • Is Underbody Trim Panel Reinstalled on 2023 Mazda 3 For Draw-Tite Hitch Installation
    Yes, to install the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24984 on your 2023 Mazda 3 you will need to remove that panel and it won't be put back into place. Hitch instructions only mention this when the hitch either prevents the panel fitting back into place or there is excessive trimming that needs to be done on the panel for it to fit back in place so it's easier to just remove it and leave it off. If you'll be using the hitch for towing I recommend installing the T-One Wiring...

Even if it did, it would stick out quite a bit but I have one for you that won't. The Curt Class 1 Round Tube Trailer Hitch has a maximum gross trailer weight: 2,000 lbs and maximum tongue weight: 200 lbs.
