Best Towing Hitch Receivers of 2025

"I found the installation to be very straightforward and everything fit perfectly. I didn't even have to drop the muffler!"

"When I installed this hitch, I used a floor jack to lift it into place. It took a few tries to get the kick sensor for the hatch to work, but overall, the value and quality are great!"

"I appreciated the high-quality steel construction, but I did notice some chipping on the paint. Installation was smooth; I just had to use small ramps for clearance around the exhaust."

"After about 8 months, my towing shackle is holding up well. I see no signs of rust or wear, and everything feels solid. It looks great too, even though I haven't used it for towing yet."

"I use this for towing snowmaking equipment at work with my snowmobile. It works well and can handle the weight I need to tow."

"I bought this hoping not to need it, but I keep it in my truck with a tow strap just in case. The build quality is very good, and it's solid with freely moving parts. I'm happy with my purchase."

"I found the installation relatively easy. I managed to do it on my own, taking about an hour. Removing the tow hook was simple, but dropping the muffler was a bit challenging without the right tools. I used a pair of tongue and groove pliers and WD40 to help. After clearing the rusted bolt holes with PBlaster, I was able to secure everything tightly. It was a perfect fit, and even without using the hitch yet, I feel confident about its performance."

"I bought this hitch for my 2017 Toyota RAV4 and it fit perfectly. The bolt holes aligned well, allowing me to install it without removing the exhaust, although it did require a bit of effort. I made sure to clean the bolt holes beforehand, which made the installation smoother. Overall, it's a solid unit that feels well made, and I appreciate that it didn’t cost much more than a Class 1 hitch."

"I was genuinely impressed with both the hitch quality and the ease of installation. I strongly recommend getting a 12mm x 125 tap to clean the threads in the frame. Without it, I wouldn’t have been able to start the bolts. Also, using a tapered punch made removing the rubber muffler mount quick and easy. I used a small floor jack to assist in lifting the hitch into place, making the process much smoother."

"I didn't want to spend $583 at U-Haul, so I bought this hitch. It is amazing! Very heavy-duty and high-quality. I completed the installation in just 15 minutes!"

"I found this hitch to be a perfect fit. Installation was super easy and it's holding up well. I highly recommend it!"

"I installed the hitch on my 2016 Transit cargo 250. I had read concerns about the self-tapping bolts, so I bought an M12-1.75 tap. Using the tap made installation easy—it took me about an hour, and I’m very happy with the quality and finish!"

"I've been using my hitch for about three months, and I appreciate that there's been no rattling or bouncing. It's solid and heavy, and I recently towed my 4 x 8 motorcycle flatbed trailer loaded with about 1000 pounds without any issues. It was easy to install and switch between different ball sizes. I would definitely give it a 10/10 recommendation!"

"This hitch is the most cost-effective option I've found. Similar products cost over $300 and have lower tow ratings. It's made of solid steel, and the paint doesn't flake like I expected. The locking feature is a great bonus. I've towed up to 6000 lbs with it, and I'm grateful for a product that doesn't break the bank."

"I bought this hitch to easily switch between my camper and utility trailer. The ball moves smoothly to each position and stays secure. It's very well-built and extremely sturdy. I highly recommend it!"

"I found the hitch installation surprisingly straightforward. I watched a few videos beforehand and realized I could handle it myself. It took me about 45 minutes with my husband’s help. The hardest part was aligning it properly, but we managed."

"The hitch I installed on my 2023 CX-5 fits like a glove. I appreciated the clear instructions with pictures that made it easier to follow along. I managed to do most of it solo, but having a second person would definitely speed things up."

"I installed this hitch after being quoted over $400 by the dealer. The installation was a breeze, thanks to the included fish wire for the bolts. My husband and I completed it in around 45 minutes, and I couldn’t be happier with the quality and savings!"

"I found the Curt hitch easy to install and it looks great on my Highlander. I only needed my 12-year-old son's help to hold one side while I attached the bolts. The cost was half what the dealer was charging, and I saved another $250 on installation. I’m really happy with my purchase!"

"When I installed the Curt receiver hitch on my wife's 2019 Toyota Highlander SE, it fit perfectly with no issues. I managed to do it alone, but I definitely recommend having a friend assist you. The instructions were clear on trimming the plastic shields needed, and after starting all six bolts, it aligned perfectly!"

"I was impressed by the quick shipping and the excellent build quality of this hitch. After watching a couple of videos, the installation process was straightforward. A pro tip I learned was to start each bolt into the frame threads beforehand, which made everything easier. For less than $200, this is an amazing value!"

"I found the installation to be very straightforward, taking about 30 minutes by myself. The fit is perfect for my vehicle, and it feels quite sturdy."

"The installation was manageable for me after dropping the muffler and cleaning the bolt holes. I noticed a 1/4"-1/2" gap initially, but it closed when I tightened the bolts. The only downside is that the top of the receiver rubs against my bumper, but it doesn't cause any noise while driving."

"I had a smooth installation experience on my 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe. It didn't require any ramps or jackstands. However, the hitch partially blocks the spare tire nut, which means I need a box end wrench to drop the tire. I made a small adjustment to the foam holding the jack to avoid any inconvenience."

"I found the installation to be super easy, taking just about 30 minutes. The hitch aligned perfectly with the holes on my 2024 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. I only needed to drop the exhaust from one side to make it easier, but overall, no special tools were required aside from a torque wrench."

"This hitch fit my 2022 Hyundai Tucson like a glove! I installed it myself without needing a jack or any extra help. Great value for the price and looks solid."

"I noticed that Curt has improved the packaging for the hardware. It was shrink-wrapped to the tube beside the receiver, making it impossible to miss. My hitch arrived in great condition and was easy to install on my own!"

"I bought this hitch for my 2011 GMC Sierra and found the installation straightforward. It took me about 45 minutes to install alone, and everything worked as expected without interfering with the spare tire. I'm very satisfied!"

"I was a bit disappointed that the kit had incorrect bumper bolts, which required me to get some replacements from the local hardware store. However, the hitch itself is of nice quality and has a clean appearance."
