Very nice people to do business with and the delivery was super fast. Thank you! Read more Curt T Connector Wiring Harnes customer reviews.

Pleased with the receiver thus far but have not used it to tow yet. Arrived promptly and adequately packaged. Did take quite a bit longer to install than stated. Grinding middle hole to 1 1/8" was not difficult but time consuming. Fishing bolts through was simple and efficient. Second person to hold receiver in place was an asset. I qualify my rating performance as I have not used yet, though I do not foresee any issues. It fit perfectly and looks good. Read more Curt Receiver Hitch customer reviews.

Installation was clearly shown in a video walkthrough although it could probably benefit from a"before you start" run through of the tools needed and a note about not threading the wire guides on too far. The receiver seems well constructed and fit perfectly. Overall a 9/10 rating.

Unfortunately, they don't have a category for installation and particularly the instructions. They were inadequate when it comes to how to handle the carbon filter removal and re-installation. The rest of the install went as I expected. Be sure to have some good breaker bars with an extension. You'll need it to remove the OEM bolting. Torqueing the new ones was no picnic either. I really wish they let you know the measurement the receiver would be from the ground so you could order an appropriate draw bar and ball when you order the hitch. The draw bar they provided (straight) is way too low to be practical for normal towing. I put a shackle in mine so I can use it to pull stuff when I need to.

This was a piece of cake to install. Finding the connector on the Subaru took a few minutes. The easiest way is to just follow the wiring harness crossing the back near the tire well. I was not real impressed by the lack of protection for the wiring outside of the vehicle. I opted to run it inside some flexible accordian tubing and seal it up to protect it over time much better. It also makes the installation appear much neater. Be sure to use a few more tie-raps so it doesn't get caught up in the spare tire down the road.

The hitch is well built. Fit was good. Looks great on my car. Get someone to help you to speed up the install. Be carefull not to push the bolts back up into the frame when you are placing the hitch. I did it by myself with a floor jack and wraped wire around the bolts to keep them in place. Be aware of the sharp metal on the car. I cut the **** out of my finger.
