Draw-Tite 76028 Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2 Inch Square Receiver, Compatible with Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain, Pontiac Torrent, and Saturn Vue (Please Verify Vehicle Application)

Very easy if you're good with tools and your hands. I'm in the automotive industry professionally (no longer a technician) and found this kit intuitive and simple to install with an assistant. The provided materials are great, the fishing tools are super cool. If you're not very experienced with cars, you might have a bit more difficulty. The instructions are rather sub par in my opinion. Just thread your fishing tool onto the bolts, insert bolts into body, thread the steel plates onto the fishing tool, slip the plates into the body plates, then gently tug and wiggle the fishing tool until the carriage bolts drop back into place. I had all 4 set into position, then had an assistant help lift the hitch up and we both threaded the fishing tools through the holes while we lifted. Keep those fishing tools installed until you have a nut on the bolt, you'll regret it if you lose on of these bolts in the body.I would agree with the reviews recommending a tap and die set. I spent most of my install time fighting rusty bolt holes on the installation vehicle. Not to the fault of this hitch at all. I used Deep Creep and just ran the bolts in and out until they would fully seat. You can't get an impact in there because the holes are too high up. An impact probably would have ruined something, the threaded inserts on the vehicle were unbelievably rusted and tough to get a bolt through.Can confirm it fits a 2016 Chevy Equinox easily and without modification. We didn't put the plastic hitch cover back on, there's really no point in my opinion. It would be very difficult to get that plastic cover back off if you install it because the crossmember of the hitch will be right on the way.Would purchase again.

Product is as described and does what it's supposed to do. I got this brand because it has a higher tongue weight rating than any of the others on the market. I'm using it for a luggage carrier for extra room to travel. Bolts do go in a little tough but it wasn't to bad. Could have tapped them maybe but the idea of them not backing out easily made me skip that as an added safety. Took me about 45mins to install. Watch the video on YouTube on how to install if your unfamiliar with using the wire installing technique. It's really simple and an easy do it yourself project. Make sure to torque to correct settings!!!!

I doubt we’ll ever tow a trailer with our ‘11 Chevy Equinox, but if the need arises I won’t hesitate. This was purchased to use with a bike rack and cargo rack. What the instructions don’t tell you is that you’ll want to “clean” the threads of the welded in nuts (in this case 6- 2 ea. side and 2 in the center) as dust & road grime will have accumulated. As seen in the photos I made my own Redneck Tap™️ by filing a small groove into the first few threads. I have a tap & die set but it’s Standard, not Metric, and the 6-welded in nuts are metric. No need to buy a tap I’ll use once (they aren’t cheap!) when you just need to clean existing threads, not cut new ones. A small triangular file works a treat, 2-minutes and it’s ready to go. The “cut” threads are well beyond where the nut is so I’m not at all worried about compromising strength.The spring wire hack is bloody brilliant, whomever came up with that, kudos to you! I wouldn’t say this is a one person job, too much fiddling with the two loose carriage bolts to line up plus the other holes. I had my sons help me and not only was it an easy job, but we shared some good laughs all the while. Be advised- pulling 92ft/lbs isn’t for the faint of heart, but don’t cut corners when it comes to torquing any/all of these bolts to spec (READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!!!) because failing to do so can and will lead to fastener failure and the hitch coming loose, along with whatever you have hitched to it.Packaging is my only complaint, in that the box was a bit worse for wear and a couple spots showed paint loss. Not a huge deal, but those will rust sooner than the rest of the hitch, and depending on your location that could be an issue sooner than expected. Some added packaging in & around the hitch in the box would easily solve this issue, especially as the hitch isn’t terribly heavy. Not enough of an issue to warrant the loss of a star rating, but something the manufacturer/retailer could improve on.Overall- 10 out of 10 would buy again.

I am very satisfied with the beefy construction of this hitch, but if you plan on the 30 minute install time called for in the instructions you will be disappointed.I have been working on my own vehicles for more than 60 years, and I spent about 4 hours (and several skinned knuckles installing this hitch on my 2014 Equinox. I had to clean the existing welded nuts in the frame with a tap, working in a tight space that didn't leave room for anything but about half a turn at a time -- I did use WD-40 to help with this process. The backing plates provided for the mounting brackets on each end, and the process for installing them through the cutouts in the frame worked well -- I was impressed with the ingenious method of using a coil spring and wire (provided) to install the bolts and plates. However, the backing plates for the center bracket mounting were too wide to fit through the frame cutout and had to be ground off by about 1/4 inch to fit.All in all I would recommend this hitch, but plan on some difficulty and extra time for installing.

Hitch fit very well and the instructions were clear and easy to understand. Manual said it was a half hour install but I'd dispute that. Installed it on my wife's 2006 Saturn Vue so you have to realize that this is an older car and not new. Four existing threaded holes in the car's frame had to be chased with an M12 tap to clear the crud out of the threads before it could be fully bolted up. To be expected I guess. Overall it looks good and functions good. Would recommend given the price.

Exactly as described. Easy to install (should be a two person job). Once you start the set-up it is easy to complete. Price was awesome. You will save $$$$ if you do it yourself.

For the price I paid this was a steal of a deal and it came with everything ya need for an easy install. the illustration kinda sucked but it's really straight forward. said it takes about 30 min but out the box and installed took me about 10 min with the car on the ground.

It fit out 2016 Equinox perfectly and was easy to install. Very happy with it.

quick shipping, quality product, easy to install
