Reese Towpower 33036 33 Series Class III / IV Professional Hitch Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Quality Control needs to be addressed... My unit did not fit against frame rails properly. It was off by 5/16 of an inch. My Jeep's frame spacing was dead-on. So, I was forced to take the receiver, turn it on end and open the ears of it using my garden tractor's rear blade as a wedge. Sloppy cutting/welding was the culprit.

Hidden Hitch 82580 Class III Trailer Hitch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a good looking and neatly tucked away hitch,hugs the rear bumper much better than the one I had on my van before.
Perfect fitting took me 10 minutes to install not counting routing the wires and all.
I would recommend this hitch,it's strong,wel made and will last a long time.
This one hitch states it's a class III hitch,but can be a class IV hitch as well.

Master Lock 2896AT Bike Carrier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Good: great price for a heavy duty (4) carrier hitch rack. Solid construction and folds down on a hinge so you can open your SUV back door without having to remove the rack. Easy to attach and take off, and relatively easy to mount your bikes on and take off too. Has holes in the plates so you can lock your bike on the rack.
The Bad: The lock down plate with screw in lock knobs is not the best design. Bike tend to twist out of the lock down plate mount and can give the impression that bike might actually come out depending on how you mount your bikes and how you drive. Tightening the plate down very tightly to compensate does not help and tends just bend/warp the plates in the middle. Because the rack is designed to mount your bike from top tube of your frame this rack WILL NOT work for women's bikes, or higher end bikes that have heavily angled top tubes type frame (such as a Specialized Stumpjumper FSR or other full high end full suspension bikes). Also the rack, although very solidly built, tends to wabble around more than I'd like when traveling (not that your bikes will be in jeopardy though). Lastly it's not very good with one bike as each lock down plate is meant for 2 bikes and with only one the plate sits at an angle and tends to shift slightly to to righ or left even if you screw the knob down hard. The holes on the plates are mean for padlocks (that it does not come with) so perhaps the padlocks would help keep the plates from shifting around.
Overall a good rack but be aware you get what you pay for.

Curt Manufacturing 13593 Class III Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this hitch earlier in the week and installed it. Installation was nice and easy, just had to file a little bit on the frame of the vehicle to get the bolts in.
Installation took me maybe 40 minutes, doing the work by myself in the driveway.
Today we heard what sounded like something dragging behind the CX-7. The only thing I've been able to trace it down to is when we are going up hill after a long 30 minute drive, and the exhaust is very warm (hot actually, burned a pair of mechanics gloves) the exhaust seems to hang more, and knocks against the hitch.
I've yet to decide how I am going to deal with that.

Valley 82660 Class III Receiver Hitch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I shopped around online for a trailer hitch for my 2006 Nissan Murano. Unfortunately, the best-looking hitch for the Murano (where the cross-bar is hidden behind the rear bumper) is a Nissan hitch that requires additional support parts for the Murano bumper. This hitch, the extra bumper parts, and installation labor at the dealer would cost around eight hundred. No way am I spending that much. Of all the third-party hitches for the Murano, I decided on the Valley, mainly because the cross-bar is not as thick in diameter as other brands (about 1-3/4 inches vs. about 2-1/4 inches) and does not have such a "massive" look about it when installed under my bumper (the towing specifications are the same for most of the hitches). I have just installed it myself with ordinary home tools in my driveway. It did require some effort, but was not terribly difficult--better than paying someone a hundred bucks or so to install it. I have not yet used it, but hey, it is just a trailer hitch--I expect it to do what it's supposed to do. Bottom line for me was its appearance under the back bumper of my car, and I'm pleased with how it looks. Granted, the Nissan hitch is ideal, but for several hundred dollars in savings, I'm satisfied.

Curt Manufacturing 19030 2 In X 2 In Receiver Hitch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just needed a bumper-mount receiver for a lightweight trailer. I didn't want a frame-mount hitch and this fit the bill!!
Only problem was the holes were drilled about 5mm off. So they didn't fit my bolt holes, in spite of me ordering the correct size. I had to get someone with a heavy drill to fix the holes. But after that, it was no problem.

Hitch Aligner Alignment Couple Mate SUV Trailer Truck Review

Reese Towpower 51080 Class III Hitch Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ordered from Amazon Marketplace, came w/ free shipping in about 5 days. Once it arrived, I installed by myself in around 30 minutes. I recommend installing with another person but it is pretty easy to handle, either way. I used a couple of bricks on either side to "stage" it a few inches under the bolt holes. Then I simply pushed it up the extra few inches and loosely secured the bolts on one side while the bricks supported the other side.
The hardest thing was digging out the watter-proofing/rubberized caulk that was inside of the bolt holes on teh undercarriage/frame. Without removing that stuff the bolts were not going to seat easily.
The instructions are lacking w/ regards to "lowering the exhaust". It appeared possible that the exhaust hanger could be removed from the hard rubber it was inserted into. However, it also appeared that if you don't know what you're doing you will end up tying the exhaust up with a hanger and taking it to the shop to be repaired. So, I opted not to drop the exhaust as instructed. It took more patience, small hands and a long socket extension but everything worked out fine. The machine bolts provided are an exact match for the Sienna and the hitch is cleary designed as an exact match for the Sienna.
The only "drawback" is an obvious one - once installed the hitch receiver may "bottom out" on steep drive transitions, etc. The rear-bumper clearance of the Sienna is already low and the hitch receiver decreases the clearance by about 7". However, this is rarely a problem and if you drive carefully and slow down when transitioning to a steep drive there won't be problems.

Swagman XP 3-Bike Standard Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This rack was easy to assemble and mount the only thing I found was that if you try to load three large bikes they do not fit. But I own a truck so the third bike goes in the bed. The locking knob is nice but it is metal in plastic no sure what would happen if a screw driver was used to try and open the lock. Very sturdy and yet simple

Valley 76550 Black Double Ball Mount Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this double ball mount under the impression that the 2" shaft bar was a solid piece. I have other double/tri ball mounts, and all of them are solid 2" square bar. This Valley Mount has a hollow (tube steel) bar, which I assume is adequate for its rated loads. I have kept the mount, and used it to tow relatively light loads (maximum load towed with this Valley mount is a 4700 lb trailer with tongue weight of less than 500 lbs), and of course the mount has been adequate for its stated relatively light duty loads. I would not have purchased this mount had Amazon and/or the manufacturer stated the shaft was hollow...but I could not find that information anywhere despite googling for over an hour.
Appreciating the rating on this Valley double ball mount is identical with double ball mounts with solid shafts, one has to assume the solid shaft on other similar products is somewhat overkill...but I happen to like that overkill as a confidence builder. The upside to the hollow bar is less weight which is appreciated if you're changing mounts often.

Heininger 6028 HitchMate Soft Hitch Guard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've never had a problem with banging myself up on the hitch ball; but, if you do, this cover is a very simple way to solve it. The product is nothing but a piece of foam that you press down over the hitch; very simple, yet effective.
The cover fits fairly tightly over a 2" ball, but there is still quite a bit of play once it is installed. Maybe it's just my hitch, but the cover never seems like it's straight after I've been driving on the highway since it can tilt in pretty much any direction. At some point, after it's had a bit more wear, I wouldn't be surprised to find that it has come off completely...
Since it's made of foam, I also won't be surprised if it starts to break down in the Texas heat; but, that would probably take long enough that it wouldn't be a huge deal if it is keeping you from banging up your shins on the hitch in the mean time:).
Overall, this product is so simple that it's hard to find fault with. The only direct improvement I can think of would be adding some kind of strap to the bottom to help stabilize it on the highway.

Hitchin Rod Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've owned a pair of Hitchin' Rods for several years and wouldn't be without them. They're especially useful if you travel solo. The only 'con' I've experienced is that one of the magnets fell out and was lost. I contacted the company for a replacement ($9, which would have been free if the loss had occured within the one year warranty period) and received it two days after ordering. I recommend that purchasers superglue the magnets in place before using.

Go Rhino D360B Dominator Black Hitch Step Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This thing moves around so much that I don't have much confidence standing on it anywhere but directly in front of the hitch. Otherwise, you can really feel it move if you stand on the sides (with the step portion, not the steel). I used the included stabilizer bracket, but it does next to nothing. I tried some 3m tape wrapped around the stem, which helps some. I still don't know how they designed something so blatantly ill-fitting. Also, I have it mounted to a curt hitch and even on the last hole setting it barely sticks out from the bumper.
A few rain storms later...As if the wobbling wasn't enough. There must be a small hole somewhere on the step because now after each storm it fills with water. Simply shaking it doesn't drain it, so you must remove it from the hitch and remove an end cap to let the water drain out. I think it needs a few drain holes drilled but I'm not sure if I want to put holes in something I stand on.
Just a note...this is now marketed as a bumper protector, but keep in mind if someone hits you, you'll probably end up bending your hitch and mounting bolts. Removing a bent hitch is no fun.
7/2 Update-Upon smelling the rancid water inside the tube, I decided to remove it from my hitch and find the hole. I ended up removing the plastic step trim and found that the water was coming in from underneath this piece. The mounting holes on the trim go directly into the tube, so water just flows right in. I caulked the heck out of the holes and surrounding area and reattached the trim. The inside of the tube was completely rusted out already, so I suggest you look into yours before it becomes unsafe.
