This trailer hitch is designed to fit the following vehicles:

2005-2008 Honda Ridgeline
Installation Time: 30 Minutes
Installation Notes:
--Exhaust system needs to be temporarily lowered during installation.

Finally a low profile hitch for the Honda Ridgeline. This unique design hides the frame of the hitch behind the Ridgeline bumper, leaving only the hitch receiver itself visible from the back of the truck. Why pay $30k for a new truck only to hang a ugly hunk of steel from the back? Now you don't have to.

The hitch also offers Curt's one piece collar design that will keep rust from developing around the receiver opening. Curt's glossy black powder coat paint offers durability and a clean look. It's no wonder the hitch comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

Delivery time was amazing. The Ridgeline hitch arrived the next day! Installation went pretty smoothly. The holes on one side didn\'t want to line up so I used slight pressure with a pry-bar to line them up and hand tighten the bolts. The trailer hitch looks fantastic, all you can see is the receiver.

The delivery time was unbelievable. I ordered on Wednesday and on the next day Thursday the trailer hitch was at my door without paying for any special shipping. For an item (hitch for an 08 Toyota Sienna) of this size and weight thier shipping cost was extremly reasonable.
The installation was simple, pry two exhaust rubber donuts to lower the exhaust, got 1 bolt started and then put the other 5 in. All holes matched perfectly. The Sienna hitch fit as though it was designed and installed at the factory, couldn\'t want or expect a better product. I did have a few questions for the ball mount to go along with the hitch which they gladly took thier time to make sure i got the right fitment. Great product, service and communication. What a...

I was very pleased with the fast shipment/delivery of the trailer hitch for my 08\' Honda Ridgeline. The hitch mounted looks great with only the receiver showing below the bumper. Quality appears top notch. The only issues I had were:
1. like some others who purchased this hitch, I found the mounting hole separation was a little off - I had to jam a 1x4 board in between the hitch and frame in order to get the holes lined up enough to thread the mounting bolts.
2. the muffler is so close to the hitch tube that it rattles against it at times - this could be corrected by either:
- including a rubber/poly muffler hanger replacement to give an extra 1/2\"-3/4\" separation
- have the design (specific to the vehicle) modified to give the... Read More

I selected the Curt hitch because I like the idea of closed ends on the drawbar and the powder coated finish. The hitch installation is very straight forward except for a small glitch- the mounting holes were not in perfect alignment with the frame mounting points on the Ridgeline. If you install the bumper mounting first, then the passenger's side of the mounting plate and keep the bolts loose, you can take a tapered drift punch and pull the driver's side into position. The bolts will then go in easily without any other persuasion. Then tighten and torquee everything. The only other negative I found was weld "berries" (spatter) around the receiver opening and end plates. If they were ground smooth prior to powder coating, it would be an... Read More

As the two previous reviewers, I found that the chassis mounting brackets did not align perfectly with the mounting hole spacing on the Ridgeline. But it was no big deal. Attach the hitch at the rear bumper bracket loosely, then do the same on the muffler side of the Ridgeline. Insert a tapered punch (preferably brass or aluminum to prevent damage to the threaded inserts in the frame rails) and pull the driver's side bracket into alignment. No problems, the screws will go in easily. My only confusion is - why include an exhaust hanger mount on the bottom edge of the drawbar tube? The original factory mount still works fine- although the tailpipe on the muffler is only 3/8" away from the drawbar tube. Still, no rubbing or vibration. I guess... Read More

Nice looking Hitch! Great design hides the entire hitch behind the bumper only the receiver shows. The powdercoat finish is very shiny and seems to be quite thick. The Receiver opening itself seems like a great design too- it has what seems to be a cast or forged opening- one piece, instead of the wrapped and welded type that other manufacturers have - those seem to be rust magnets!
Installation tips - like any other 50 pund piece of steel, it's a little awkward to handle while laying on your back. Call a friend.
1. Install the bumper bolts first- the hitch will hang up there unsupported, making it easier to get the rest of the bolts in.
2. Use a long handled screwdriver to assist in aligning the holes with the weldnuts in the frame.... Read More

All in all very good quality and very fast shipment. The only downside and I'm not sure it is Hitch Sources fault was the hitch was slightly bent on delivery. My advice or suggestion is for future shipments to wedge the flanges or ends with a piece of wood as to not allow the hitch to be bent when stood on end. I am referring to the flanges on the end where the three holes are as being bent.
Upon my inspection of this and correcting the problem the hitch installed in no time flat, very easy to install.

Melissa Dingley - 05/20/2007 Rating:

Seems like a high quality item. I had some minor problems aligning the holes though. Also the passenger side bracket has the bend very close to the holes which makes it difficult to seat the bolts & washers flat. The movement of the muffler support seems to put a little pressure on the exhaust.
Overall I would recommend it.
