CURT 122313 Class 2 Trailer Hitch with Ball Mount, 1-1/4-Inch Receiver, Compatible with Select Lexus LS430

This is a 5 star hitch with a 1 star shipping department at Curt Mfg. I suspect yours will be drop shipped from the manufacturer, mine was. Received one, damaged, ends sticking out of the box, obvious bend to the mounting flange and cracks in powder coating. The retailer immediately organized a replacement and it got here quickly (Hubcaps Plus, full marks to them!) That came with less obvious damage, but still took enough of a knock that holes would not line up when I was in the middle of mounting it. On the one hand, this is a bulky hunk of metal so it's not like it's fragile. OTOH, they put NO packing material in the box (either one) and the darn thing just rattles around in there and takes it shots, enough to bend the ends which stick out and begged to be abused. Looking at the pack job, I blame the packer rather than the shipper.I thought I was going to have to return AGAIN, as I was about 1/2 a hole off from being able to mount. I tinkered with drilling the holes out or trying to bend in a vise, but it turns out you can give this thing a good whack (hold it vertically like a tamper and smack it down on a hard surface) and move the ends around. They're more malleable than I would have expected, all the more reason to PUT A LITTLE PACKING IN THE BOX, huh, Curt?BTW, I cracked my powder coating trying to bend the flange, so now I'm in the same spot as i was in with the first one. I'll spot paint and live with rather than go back to the well, but this really is the case of an excellent manufacturer and retailer creating a LOUSY customer experience by poor material handling.

Fit perfectly, unobtrusive. I took it to UHaul for install, cost $30, the hitch is the same that they sell and install. Might be worth checking out their prices before buying on Amazon.
