Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We accidentally bought this hitch which is designed to fit newer accords rather than our year. After holding up the hitch to the car, we found out that the hitch lined up correctly on the frame but was short of the existing pre-drilled holes. So first, we unhooked the muffler and moved it to the side to gain access to the frame on the passengers side. Then, we marked and drilled new holes with a 7/16" drill bit in the frame on each side.
Then, the access hole was too small of fit the plate and bolt through it. So we squared off the round access hole by cutting two slits a short distance with a jig saw and bending the metal down with vice grips to fit the required hardware through it. After these two minor mods, the rest of the install went without a hitch. Total time was about 2 hours with all the extra work.
Directions are clear and it is setup to be installed easily on the correct vehicle. Most hitches for our year of accord mounted to the trunk pan which just didn't seem like a solid install; I wanted it mounted to the frame and missed that this wasn't for our year until it arrived at our doorstep. But all is well, and in the end we got a hitch that solidly mounts to the frame clearing the trunk pan and we are using it regularly to tow upwards of 1500lb with no problems!
