It is pretty hard to install, but still getting 5 stars from me as it has nothing to do with the product itself. It is generally harder to install hitches on most sedan cars as they are not typically built for that. The product is awesome. Good quality, instructions, and video guides on how to install as a DIY project. Everything fits well together and all necessary hardware provided. Hopefully, it doesn't rust too fast in our climate with the road salt, but only time will tell.

I am not one to do much work to cars unless it can be installed without cutting or drilling, but I only spent about 2 hours on the install this hitch on my 2014 Toyota Camry. Super easy to follow instructions. Instructions are right on point, Kurt's videos on YouTube were extremely helpful as well. Watch the video a couple times before you begin your install, it will help in the long run. I bought a step bit to widen the hole From 1/2" to 1" as per the instructions, if you don't think you'll use it again buy a cheaper one time use one from Harbor freight. An expensive one may work a bit better but in my case I only needed to drill 2 holes. As for the heat shield I used the same step bit to drill a hole big enough for the carriage bolt to come through and threaded the nut on over it. Some people will trim it around the whole hitch plate but you don't have to. It did take a little bit of adjustment to get all 4 bolt lined up nicely without forcing them in an messing up the threads.

Searched the market for a hitch to install on my 2016 Toyota Avalon V6, and this fit the bill. Amazon didn't have the right cars listed for the post (this does definitely fit all 2013+ Toyota Avalon's with either the V6 or hybrid system). I budgeted 4 hrs to do this in the driveway without a jack or stands, and it took just that long. I did run into a few misteps that I could have saved time on.I removed the entire muffler from both sides of my car. If you have the hybrid, you only have 1 muffler to remove and a trim panel. This was critical as I couldn't fit a drill with bit installed unless I removed the muffler. They are held in with about 6 bolts each. Set aside.I then had some help to hold the hitch in place while I tightened 4 of the 6 mounting screws to hold the hitch in place. I then marked the holes to be drilled. You need someone's help holding the hitch up unless you are very strong and coordinated (it's super awkward holding it alone).Drilling the holes is a matter of preference. I bought a set of cheap step drill bits that went to 3/4". If I did this again, buy a set drill bit that goes to 1" and be done with it. I used my 3/4" step drill bit with no pilot hole and drilled until it bottomed out on the last size. I then had to wallow out the hole using a dremel with a sanding bit. I used 10 sanding bits to enlarge 2 holes over the course of 1 hr. Again, just get the 1" step drill bit or a 1" hole saw bit.Once the holes were drilled to 1", I spray painted the bare metal with some clear spray paint to protect the metal from rust. After drying, I reinstalled the hitch with only the rear 2 bolts (through the new holes using the reverse fishwire method - works great). At this point, I'd suggest installing the front bolts with the exhaust off, and torquing the rear bolts with locktite to 110 foot pounds per the instructions. Remove the front bolts.Once you have the rear torqued, reinstall the muffler on one side. You do need to bend the mount bracket on the exhaust hanger flat (couple of wrenches/pliers will do). Reinstall all bolts and new bolts to hold the muffler, torque to 45 foot pounds with locktite. Don't forget the washers.Repeat if you have the V6 on the other side. If you have the hybrid, trim the panel per directions, or omit this step if you can manage without trimming. Again, locktite and washers and torque.I had to remove the mufflers an extra time because I couldn't access the rear bolts to tighten with a torque wrench. This was tedious to remove the mufflers, relocktite everything, and redo the process. I got good at taking the exhaust apart though. Also, the step drill bit fiasco was annoying. Buy a 1" step drill bit/hole saw. You aren't saving much metal by grinding it out yourself with a smaller hole.All things considered, it would take about 2.5 hrs had I had the right drill bit and not messed up the torquing sequence. Also, having the car in the driveway with a slant was useful, though lifting the car would have been more helpful, though not necessary on my car. Product is holding up well, comes with a hitch pin, and at the time I ordered it, had Curt's $20 rebate, so even sweeter deal. I made my own hitch covers front and rear out of flip flops (just cut the foam to shape and insert).I use my hitch for a bike rack, not towing. Read your owners manual for towing specs and tongue weight limits and buy a stronger hitch than you need. Better to have more capacity than just enough or too little. Happy towing!

I purchased this hitch for installation on a 2014 Toyota Camry, primarily to hold a cargo carrier for road trips when the trunk doesn't provide enough space. Other reviews have a lot of helpful tips for the install itself - the biggest thing I found helpful was to use a 1" hole saw for the hole in the frame. It isn't an easy install but it is doable - make sure to watch videos of the install instructions to make sure you know what you're getting into before you hit buy.The hitch itself is very well made and the paint finish is a very good quality, I'm not worried about it wearing off or looking old anytime soon. Clearance underneath my vehicle was something I was wondering about - for reference on a Camry at least, the hitch does not sit any lower than the muffler already does. See my photo for reference.I was impressed enough that I bought a Curt cargo carrier (make sure you order one for a 1 1/4" receiver) and it is also very well made. A bit expensive but worth it for something that could cause an accident if it doesn't hold up.

Le produit correspond exactement à mes attentes

Tres bien

Bought this hitch used and was shipped right away in like near new condition with all new attaching material, and saved a lot of dollars, very easy to install as they sent the instruction along as well. would do it again in a heartbeat, very satisfied. O Abernethy

I had a service center install it because it was easier using a hoist. It still took them 1.5 hours and cost me about 6 times as much as the last Curt I had installed in 2010. Still about half the cost of what the dealer wanted.
