Great hitch. Fits well, looks great. The trailer hitch arrived 2 days after order, and went on my 08 Honda Pilot in about 45 minutes. Some tips:

1) It fits with the spare tire, but it's easier to drop the spare tire during installation to get at the top 2 bolts, then put it back in.

2) Unless I misread them, instructions weren't clear about which way to apply the "conical washers." After several internet searches, it looks like you put the wide side towards the car, the pointy side towards the bolt-head.

3) I had trouble getting the two top bolts into place until I tightened the 6 side bolts. (Not all the way, but past the point where I could tighten them by hand.

4) You should use a torque wrench to finish up - the bolts ultimately needed to get tightened pretty far past where I would have guessed without one.

Great Hitch.... The box was banged up pretty bad in shipping and I was concerned it might have been bent. The holes lined up perfectly and it took me less than 30 minutes to install on my honda Pilot.

The first hitch you sent was lost and was not delivered so you sent the second hitch. I got it and it was very easy to install. I am completely satisfied with it.

Great hitch. This mounted easily and quickly and looks much better than the factory hitch I almost spent more than double for. The shipping was extremely fast as well

Thanks!

Outstanding hitch, very easy to install, and the most well hidden of all hitches I've seen. Definitely the best value for the money. Received it very fast, very satisfied.

Installation tips:
- Raise hitch up underneath car on some jack stands.
- Remove spare tire underneath car, it will get in the way.

For some reason on my Honda Pilot, the side mounting points on the frame were not flat. There were holes past the threaded bolt holes that were pryed/bent outward, causing extreme difficulty in bolting the hitch flat against the frame under the car. This probably is also the cause for the mounting points behind the bumper not lining up flush either.
