Can you call a hitch beautiful? This one is. The installation was easy and it was delivered in about 2 days. I told friends about the Hitchsource.com the day I got the delivery. Great hitch and hitchsource, I'd buy from them again.

Excellent product. Installed easily. Instructions right on but would add following. Detach muffler from 3 points - 2 at rear of muffler and 1 in front by slipping the rubber holders off their connect points on the car and move muffler down enough to get to bolt entry points. Use a little soapy water to help the rubbers to slip and use method explained in instructions to get them off. I had to bend the rear rubber holder probes on the vehicle down slightly to prevent the muffler from rattling against the bolts after they were installed. I used a socket wrench and slipped it over the holder prob and bent them down approx 1/4 in.

Great hitch! Install was as described. Very easy with the provided "fish wire." Ordering was simple and shipping took only two days. (ordered monday evening, received on wednesday) Would highly recommend using HitchSource.com to anyone I know looking for trailer and towing needs. Thanks!

The complete purchase process was great. Placing the order was simple, easy, and the hitch shipped very fast.

Total time to install: 1 hour. On a Honda CRV 2005.

Hints: Start on the drivers side first, installing the bolts w/ the wire tool, then, move on to the passenger side. This will make think allot easier. Also, make sure your "U" screw fits into the Hitch. My "U" did not being to wide, but, it was an easy fix. I placed a rug underneath the "U", on a "C" direction on the ground, then, covered the top w/ a towel, then, softly, hit the end w/ a mallet. I did this three times. After each hit, I would see how much more I needed to go, took three hits before it fit perfect. That was the only minor problem I encountered. This is a SOLID Hitch. Also, make sure to purchase Silicone spray or something similar, for the Muffler Hangers, makes the holders slide off with minimal effort. Also makes re-installing them a breeze.

Initially, I tried to do this install alone, trying to attach the "U" screw to hold the Hitch, then attach everything else, however, after I modified the "U" Hitch, my wife came and asked if she could help, I had the bolts in place, so all she did was hold one end up to the car body, while I attached the bolts by hand, then, I tightened the bolts alone. Recommended two people job for five minutes, then, the rest can be installed Solo.

I also love the wire tool. It works so incredibly easy, and efficient. Great idea!!!!

Everything went together as instructed. I had no problem with anything, including the wiring harness.
Thank you.

Can you call a hitch beautiful? This one is. Heavy duty construction, but with careful welds and rounded corners, all powder-coated with a gloss black finish. As others state, the holes lined up perfectly (2003 CR-V), installation was straightforward, fishwire worked great (straighten, then bend the last 2" to form a 90° 'L' with the coil on the long leg of the 'L'. Now, holding the coil end, fish the 2" short leg of the 'L' through big hole in the frame until it comes out the smaller target hole. Now, holding the 2" end, thread the washer and then the bolt on the coil end, and pull through the frame and out the target hole. For the big hole, thread the bolt and washer onto the wire, stuff them up into the hole and then pull them back down). Get the torque wrench in there before hanging the muffler back up (which it did without alteration).
