CURT 13163 Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2-Inch Receiver, Fits Select Mitsubishi Outlander

It fits perfectly right into my 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander. You do have to drop the muffle, but just take off the rubber mount, not the whole thing. When you have it over the muffler, just slip it over and put the bolts in to secure it. I forgot to put the spacers they include in the package, so dont forget it. It is pretty strong and made in USA...not that cheap China stuff fyi. It says 30 minutes to install, but it took me and one other person an hour because we had to hold it in place. This looks like a 2-3 person job. one person to hold it up while the other two securing it. It does hang kinda low but there is still some clearance and it does stick far enough from the bumper to have some space when you load stuff. You must get this if you have the Outlander. I got the 3.0 V6 GT, and this is going to work wonders in different stuff. Curt is made in USA...a must buy!

Easy installation for my Mitsubishi Outlander GT. I didn't need to drop the muffler as there is enough room to work around it if you take your time, better to do it this way than damage the exhaust hanger. You will need to lower the spare tire out of the way but follow the included directions for a quick and easy installation. Should take about 30 minutes if you have a helper. The box arrived in good condition but like others have mentioned, the receiver bounced around inside the box so I did have some scrapes and scuffs on it. This is a heavy piece of metal which is going to get dinged with rocks and road debris so its not worth sending back. You can tell the factory tried to protect it with wrap but it just wasn't enough.

The product works great, fits 2019 Outlander GT perfect, install is easy and straight forward if you have any inclination to work on cars, the packaging really sucks and mine had a very small scratch from shipping, nothing a spray paint can of black paint couldn’t fix. It does stick out a little bit under the rear bumper, not as “hidden “ as the dealership option, but it is hundreds less than what the Mitsubishi dealer will sell you. Overall great product! Fast shipping!

Good sturdy hitch. Install was okay, although the pictures in the instructions were not very clear. The biggest reason I didnt give this 5 stars is the fact that the hitch was delivered with no packaging. It wasn't in a box and came severly dinged up. I called Amazom customer service and I received a mesage that she I had been blocked from speaking to a representative. I can only assume it has to do with Covid-19 and being short staffed.

Very easy to install, all the furniture comes in the package. Package was damaged, couple of scratches on the hitch itself, but it goes under the car anyways :-) It's a little bit on the bigger and heavier size, so during the installation you will definitely need an extra hand. But after that it's like a part of the car's frame. I use it for a bike rack and for couple of weeks didn't have any issues. Very good hitch!

The Curt receiver hitch 13163 fit my 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander just fine and looks good installed. My biggest complaint was the shipping. It arrived on time but the “packaging” left much to be desired. It was delivered on my front porch with a couple pieces of thin cardboard around it, not even close to covering the entire receiver and a taped package with the components and instructions attached. There’s also a pdf instructional manual on Amazon. I didn’t think much of it until I started installing it. Then I noticed all the scuffs, scratches and paint chips. Could have been from the shipping, but who knows? And once you’re in the middle of the install the last thing you want to do is think about how to return the thing and wait for another one to arrive. The receiver is too bulky to put in a box but bubble wrap would have been a much better alternative than what I received. After watching a couple of professional installation videos I thought it looked simple enough, but it turned out to be more challenging than I anticipated. You really do need a little mechanical skill to get things like the muffler clamps off and to safely lower the muffler. Be sure to have an extra pair of hands if you don’t have a way to lift and hold the receiver hitch into place. Be sure to use WD40 and a wire brush to clean out the nuts where the bottom bolts go. You will also need a torque wrench in order to properly tighten the bolts. If you can’t borrow one, Harber Freight sells them for $20. Once it was installed the hitch was pretty low. I went ahead and purchased a ball mount with a 4” rise so the trailer won’t be riding so low at the front.

the instructions are not very clear I had to look for a video on you tube it is a bit difficult to mount specifically in the muffler area, it was perfect Mitsubishi Outlander se 2018

Super easy install, no need to drop the exhaust just lower the spare tire down and had plenty of room on 2017 Outlander. Only downfall is hitch sits pretty low you might need a hitch that raises the ball up depending on what you plan on pulling

Excelente for what I need, fits perfectly i did need to make the lock washer smaller so they could fit in the hole. Super easy to install!!! Highly recommended

Hard to install, but thats not to do with the hitch. Instructions were good and materials (bolts and nuts) were good quality.

Just one thing to know: it is much easier to install if you remove both the spare and carrier. However, due to its exposure to weather - here, it’s winter road salt - dropping the assembly may require some prep, like using rust penetrating oil or/and use a wire wheel to free up the bolt treads. In my case, the bolt seized and broke, so I ended up making a new one (I have a welder). A second set of hands might be useful, but I was able to install it alone by using a ratchet strap attached to the receiver and the hatch loop to lift both sides of the assembly.

Bought it in the beginning of the summer, came with a missing part. Now summer is over and we still have not used it, no way to return it so just have to keep our fingers crossed we could find the part to use it next summer. 😔

I installed this hitch to my 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander ES. This is sturdy and easy to install. Need 2 persons to install. I read the previous reviews and thank you for sharing the tip to remove the spare tire before installing it. You can have adequate space to install it.
