Philadelphia Phillies Oval Hitch Cover Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The product seems sturdy, but does not come with a hitch pin to hold it in place. You will need to buy a pin separately if you do not already have one.

Class III/IV Hitch For Honda ~ Ridgeline ~ 2006-2011 ~ Black ~ Round Tube Style, WC/WD: 5000 lbs. / 6000 lbs. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The kit contained the wrong bolts (M10 instead of M12). I had to buy the correct from NAPA in order to complete the install while the muffler was lowered. The seller said they would have overnighted them to me if I had called them. That would have been too late, their number wasn't on the installation instructions and I doubt they take calls on Saturday. They kindly reimbursed me for the bolts. (I didn't ask them about the 30 miles I drove to get the bolts).
The hitch did not easily fit under my 2008 Ridgeline. I had to use a floor jack and jump on the bumper to get it in place. The bolt slots were a little tight and required all fasteners loose and pushing with my foot against the hitch to pass the last bolt thru. If I had to do it over again, I would have bought a similar product at U-Haul and had them install it.

Curt Manufacturing 56090 T-Connector Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product is advertised as being specific to the Ford Transit-Connect, with a 45 minute self installation. It may be specific to the Transit-Connect, but you are not going to install this product per the manufacturers instructions in 45 minutes. Nor are you going to install it per their install scheme. I spent an hour and fifteen minutes before I realised Ford's wiring does not match Curt's installation instructions. Ford does not offer a towing package with this vehicle, nor do they recommend towing with it. I took this kit to my local Ford dealer and asked them to install it for me. They had never wired a Transit-Connect for a trailer before. It took them over 3 hours and still had to make modifications to make this product work. The service writer at Ford asked the tech about this being a "do it yourself project". No was the Ford techs answer. By the way, this Ford Dealer is a designated Ford Commercial Truck Center.

Curt Manufacturing 28998 Lynch Pin Style Removable Foot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I intended this to be for the post on the jack of my travel trailer. If the size of the inner or outer diameter of the foot was listed anywhere in the item description, I would have checked the size first (especially since 2 others already noted this problem). I took a chance thinking it was a standard size. After you buy it, you are stuck since after paying for shipping both ways and a restocking fee, you lose all your money anyway. Customer service never answered my inquiry. I'd stay away from this product and seller.

Curt Manufacturing 13336 Class III Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There was no drilling into the frame needed for install. The only cutting needed to do was for the air suspension. The plate for the air suspension needed to be trimmed a little, but took little effort. came with all of the bolts needed for install and even a bolt guide to help hold a couple of the bolts in place. I could have installed this by myself, but it made it even easier to install with one other person due to the weight.

Trailer Lock Security by SnatchLatch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product is great! I've got it on the trailer that I tow behind my motorhome. The trailer has all of my off-road toys and gear, and I often leave for the day once I'm camped. I suppose if someone was determined enough, they could always get in the trailer, but the snatchlatch sure is a better deterrent than just a padlock. It took me a couple of tries before I was able to get it on and off easily, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy and quick.

Valley 82280 Class III Trailer Receiver Hitch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Baught a Valley Class III trailer hitch 3 years ago, and within 3 weeks it started rusting. Within 2 years it was a ball of rust. Looks real bad, and I have to file off the rust and grease it real good or the ball hitch won't fit into the trailer hitch hole. Very sorry I got this brand.

Curt Manufacturing 12076 Class II Receiver Hitch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Product arrived in good condition, and installed per instructions with a little bit of finesse. I needed a class I or II receiver to pull a small trailer or put a generator and gas cans in a receiver basket. this fit the bill.

Valley Tow 82151 Class IV Receiver Hitch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You gotta love Amazon when it can sell you a hitch like this and then ship it out in record time for next to nothing. The hitch is great and came with all the instructions and hardware needed. Installation was a breeze (other than supporting the weight of this thing on my chest!) and I had the whole thing done in 30 minutes or so.

Reese Towpower 44553 2 inch Class III / IV Professional Hitch Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Fantastic bike rack for the price. Every time I see a Yakima or Thule hitch mounted bike rack I think to myself, "Man those people overpaid for their rack!"
We have a Trek 4500, Trek 8000 and two Wal Mart bikes and all of them fit nicely on this rack. While they are spaced pretty close (you have to play with the bikes a bit to get them on), this is pretty typical for a 5 bike rack. The straps are nice and quick to use and we only use additional bungies on long trips. The rack is very solid and hardly moves when driving.
The only issue is the very tight pin which usually needs a hammer to remove if you want to lower the top arm down so I recommend carrying one in your vehicle. But for half the price of a similar 'name brand' rack, I'll carry the hammer around!

Reese Towpower 74398 Dog Bone Style Hitch Pin Receiver Lock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)however the space on coupler lock dogbone was too narrow to lock onto my coupler latch.
A friend also tried it on his coupler with the same results.
Locks are well built! Just be sure that your coupler falls into that category
of "fits most couplers" in the product desciption.

Draw-Tite 24763 Class I SportFrame Hitch with Drawbar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Excellent little hitch, very sturdy design and low-profile. Comes with installation instructions specific to your car. Took me about 1.5 hours to install...would have been much easier if I had some ramps or a jack as getting under a Civic is not the easiest of tasks. Purchased it to install a hitch mounted bike rack and it serves this purpose perfectly.
Here is the rack I paired it with:
Swagman XC Cross-Country 2-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (1.25-Inch Receiver)

Draw-Tite 36336 Class II Frame Receiver Hitch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Excellent deal, and they couldn't have made installation any easier. Actual install took maybe 45 minutes. Genius idea they have with the 'threaded' wire to pull the bolt through the frame. The install will require a 1/2" drill bit, and a 1" holesaw (or plasma cutter, etc). Pull one heat shield bolt, clean up weld nuts in 4 existing holes with wire brush or 10mm tap, (or just remove the tie downs if you have them), install 5 bolts, drill the two holes, pull bolt through 1" hole with included wire, and... you're done!
Ships without packaging, if there are still deals on ones with aesthetic scuffs, buy it, because guarantee the one you get will have them anyway by the time you receive it, I could've saved $8!

Swagman 3 Bike Standard 2 Inch Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have yet to take this bike rack on a road trip, but I have tested it out with bicycles on it, and it seemed very sturdy. The first thing you notice when you get the package is how heavy it is. Nothing flimsy on this thing! I was a little worried it might be too heavy for my car, but the trailer hitch seemed to have no problem with it. Might make a difference on gas mileage, but I'll be confident that my bicycles are secure. As I had read in other reviews, it is a little tight to fit 3 bikes on it. I have 2 bikes to transport, but decided to get the 3-bike rack, and am glad I did. Not sure my 2 bikes would have fit, however, one of them is an old, heavy bike, so some of the newer and more streamlined bikes might fit 3 just fine.
