That is expected.

It's almost impossible to screw up these 2 inch receivers. Works well. Although I don't want to cut to length with a hacksaw. I used a dry/cold saw.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • So-so

Great hitch for towing and winching

I used this as a skid turntable so I could easily move trailers around the yard without using my truck. This hitch welded perfectly, and my project turned out the way I wanted it. I added gussets to give it more strength.

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • Damaged

Okay but it's not a real clamp at the end

I was a bit disappointed that the unit I received didn't have a real extra reinforcement clamp at the end as shown in the two pictures... when I looked closer, other pics show the pressed/slapped end with square tubing, which isn't as strong. Still a decent price, but CURT should go back to a real end collar.

Pros
  • Easy to read panel
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Works well, durable for transporting bikes

I asked someone to weld a 2" hitch to my SUV and unfortunately they made their own 2" receiver. Not a good idea. When we exchanged the homemade receiver for this one, everything was fine. Makes you appreciate doing the right thing. I used to use a 1.5" bike rack hitch. The 2" is much stronger. I love it with my 1UpUSA rack.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • alt

As always, Kurt makes a great product!

Great product. You must understand that this is bare metal that will need to be properly painted after installation. It comes shrink wrapped to protect the bare metal from rusting before use. It is perfectly square and the end cap is well welded. It worked great for some of my projects where I had to weld it on for a winch attachment.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Good but not great

Ideal for custom applications

At the weld shop I welded two of these (9" size) to a drawbar for a custom two post carrier. They fit perfectly for my application. I recommend hiring a shop to weld them unless you have a heavy duty welder that can really cut through heavy steel. The capacity of these pickup tubes is as good as the weld.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Modern

The receiver was as expected, but with a reinforcement ring around the .

Receiver as expected but reinforcement ring welded around coupler neck only about 2 inches on each side. If it was welded all around it would be 5 stars instead of 4 because now I have to weld it before installing it. Another step was added to the project, but for the price, it's just a minor catch. I ordered both a 9" and a 12" and they were all built the same.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Not bad
