This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.
Hitch was delivered o couple of days sooner than expected. Assembly and instructions were packaged well with no damage. Installation was smooth and am very pleased with results.
Roger - 04/25/2022Perfect fit. Easy install. Love the hitch! Fast shipping. The company even sent an unexpected gift with the hitch, which I was pleasantly surprised by. Great experience.
Prompt Delivery and boxed well. The Hitch was very easy to install on my 2008 Honda Pilot. The videos given on the site that show the installation of the hitch were very helpful. I will definitely be purchasing from etrailer again when I purchase my second truck this summer.
This will be a rather long review since I am combining the entire purchase in this one review. To start I am a 60+ yr. old female & not mechanically inclined but after getting an estimate of over $900. 00 from the local Honda dealer to install a receiver & the electrical wiring so that I could tow a small trailer I decided to shop around. I wasn't even sure of what all I would need or what the parts were called except for the ball. I visited a few websites & sent a few emails to inquire. Etrailer was the first to respond to my questions & provided links so I went back to their site. After viewing a video on the different receivers that would fit my Honda Pilot I favored the Curt receiver. That was my starting point & I moved on to the next item I would need which was the hitch. I never knew there were so many possibilities & I didn't have a clue what the rise & drop was all about so I sent another email. Within a matter of hours I'd gotten a response from a fellow named Jon G. He was just the hook-up I needed!! The links he provided answered all of questions I had & gave me the education I needed. (I was still waiting for responses from the other websites I'd sent inquiries to.) I was certain at this point that I would make my purchase with etrailer.com & proceeded filling up my shopping cart with the Curt receiver, the Curt ball mount, the chrome hitch ball, the electrical wiring & an anti-rattle hitch pin. Before I paid for the items I asked Jon G. for 1 more favor. Would he kindly view the items in my cart to make sure I had matched the items up so that each would fit correctly with the other. He did & I made the purchase. Within a few days the order arrived & I was confident enough after watching the installation video & reading other reviews that I could install everything myself. I used the lift in a friend's garage & enlisted the help of a female friend. She held the receiver up on one end while I was at the other installing the bolts. Then it was her turn. Together we had the receiver installed in less than 30 minutes. It was so easy!! Next, we installed the wiring That took close to an hour. Mainly because we were trying to be so careful when pulling back the rubber & popping out the panel clips but we got 'er done & did a beautiful job of it, if I may say so myself. All in all, it took almost 2 hours to complete but that includes disposing of cardboard boxes, putting away the tools, lowering the S-L-O-W lift & backing the vehicle out of the garage. etrailer is #1 in Customer Service & Satisfaction, Product Variety & Quality & Anything that You want to Hitch. Well, almost anything.....you can't hitch your kid....or, your dog....er, dogs. Thanks again, etrailer. You guys are BOSS!!!
Built really well and sturdy, definitely heavy duty. Fits perfectly and took little effort to set and install.
Rodney - 05/01/2022After making prior purchases from etrailer.com, I was certain I was making a great decision to add a tow-hitch to my 2004 Honda Pilot. After ensuring the correct fit, etrailer.com excelled in providing installation instructions that (even a novice installer) can walk through with ease. Overall, the installation took roughly 45-minutes, thanks to the video installation walk-throughs via etrailer.com. One more reason etrailer.com surpasses the competition.
I was able to install the hitch and wiring harness easily. The hitch came with the bolts and washers that were needed. I was even able to order the cleaning brush. They had how videos that really were helpful, watch a couple minutes and go to work. I really think etrailer is the best! I couldn't be more happy with the ordering, shipping, and installation.
Jeffrey B - 03/19/2019I mounted this on my 2005 Pilot in anticipation of towing a utility trailer. It was so easy to install, I at first thought I was doing something wrong...it was that easy. It is solidly built and the trailer light plug-in I purchased with it is beefy, and a cinch to hook up. The shipping was timely. About a month ago, I finally got my utility trailer and, after towing a few thousand pounds of broken concrete, timbers, furniture and building materials, I would say that I am very pleased with the Curt Trailer Hitch.
Everything arrived on time and were the correct items purchased. My hitch was bent to the point that the bolt holes did not line up with the vehicle. I had to bend the steel by beating with a sledge hammer to straighten it out. This fixed the problem. I do not know if this was an etrailer problem or a curt hitch problem.
Sierra K - 09/14/2021Installed this hitch on a 2006 Honda Pilot in about 40 minutes. Fit was beautiful. Nice product. Here's a helpful hint for cleaning corroded weld nuts. Get a 1/2 " fitting brush from the plumbing dept of your local hardware store. Cut the handle off and place the brush in your cordless drill. Same principal as the battery terminal brush only much faster and easier. I cleaned the six M12 holes first then went to the two M10 holes. Total thread cleaning time was less than ten minutes for 8 holes. All bolts spun in with my fingers when I was finished. Good luck!
Joe G - 09/21/2014Fits beautifully on 2006 Honda Pilot without taking of the muffler from hanger
Its really very sturdy, needed another hand for installing. I installed it on a 2005 Honda Pilot, so needed to remove tow hook on rear driver side to install hitch. I had issues with rusted weld nut on passenger side, one is completely moved out, other two had no threads. I had to order the CURT 18-Inch Trailer Hitch Fish Wire for 1/2-Inch, to install the bolt from top and used a nut from bottom. Where the threads are completely gone, used a Irwin 12-1 25 mm bottom tap to rethread and was able install the bolts. Primarily using this hitch to carry a 2-bike rack. Used it for a 20 mile round trip so far, everything looks great, no wobbling. Also bought a Rola 2 bike rack from etrailer.
Good weight and stability good! Highly recommend!
Claudia F - 04/27/2022Super easy to install even by your self. if you have an older vehicle make sure you grab a tap or thread cleaner. Its listed in the instructions the thread size and diameter. I struggled with the last three bolts due to corrosion, the tap took about 10mins to make the threads clean. Hitch looks great and was delivered super fast.
Matt C - 06/05/2021This trailer hitch fit perfectly on my Acura MDX. Installation took me about an hour and half, mainly due to the fact I was not using a lift and lying on my back to do the install. I would definitley suggest having an extra person help with the installation. It would have been difficult if not impossible to hold the hitch in place while and bolt it on at the same time. Video instructions on etrailer made all the difference. The videos notified me of potential issues I might have during the install so that I was prepared for these and they didn't hinder the installation. Shipping was free and extremely fast (ordered on a Wednesday and arrived the next day). I highly recommend this hitch and etrailer.com.
I ordered a trailer hitch for my 2004 Honda pilot. It came in less then a week good packing. I watch the video on how to install this helped a lot. I installed it in about 20 minutes it fit perfect and all the right bolts. In the video it shows to clean the threads with a wire brush. Mine wear full of rust this took me about 40 minutes to clean. I also got the wire harness for the hitch this fit great to about 15 minutes to install. All in all this was a great experience. I would highly recommend this company. I ordered all parts online this was easy to navigate all parts needed.
I would definitely recommend this product, and etrailer.com - they are fast, and very responsive. I'm a tracking geek when it comes to ordering stuff online, and you know right away that they got the order, and when it ships, then the online tracking info shows you on a map exactly where it is. But on to the product! First, the videos on this site, and customer feedback, not to mention good prices and free shipping (over $150) were driving forces in making this purchase from etrailer. I was not disappointed. The shipping was quick (I did pay a few dollars extra for 3-5 days shipping, but only because we're going away in 5 days, and wanted to make sure we had it on time - but I would imagine it would have still gotten here quickly with regular shipping). Just like the video, installing this was a snap. I borrowed a torque wrench from a friend and cleaned out the bolt holes with a wire brush the night before, and the next morning installed the hitch receiver in about 30 minutes. Definitely easier with 2 people - my son help up one side while I put a bolt in the other side, then I was good to go. Only complaint (minor) is that there should have been extra cardboard support between the part in the center that sticks up and attaches to the bumper. It broke through the box during delivery. I was not damaged, but could have been. The actual hitch connector, although it was wrapped, probably could have had more padding, as there was a chip in the paint on the bottom... I can touch it up, so I'm not too concerned about it. The hitch is very low profile - others I have seen are larger and more obvious. This one is barely visible below the bumper, other than where you need to connect to.
After owning my 2003 Pilot for 12+ years and 250,000 miles, decided to add a hitch so I could use a bike rack. Instructions were exact and fits perfectly. Took maybe 30 min total from unpacking to tightening last bolt, and that was only because I had to clean 2 of the holes out.
Box torn from both sides, hitch scratch, paint chipped..
Thomas M - 01/14/2022It's a great product looks very sturdy but the bolts on the right side next to the muffler is not screwing in. I need 3 different bolts to fish inside and bolt it that way not taking chance for just the left side and middle bolt only. Untill I get those bolts for now it's useless.
Brooke M - 09/22/2021etrailer is the place for my future purchases. I purchased a hitch and yakima bike rack and etrailer not only came through with the goods but also price matched the competitors. I dont usually write reviews but the service was so good I had to. The rack and the hitch are holding up since I purchased it last year.
We put the receiver on last year. It was an easy install.
Eric S - 11/28/2021Everything worked very well. Thanks
John - 03/19/2022The box arrived with a huge hole so I was concerned. Once opened and inspected everything looked fine. The instructions were very helpful and I installed the hitch in about 45 minutes. The hitch is mostly concealed and looks great. I can’t wait to use it. I would highly recommend etrailer and the Curt product.
Easy install. The online video made it very simple.
