Most Popular Assisted for 2017 Ford Explorer

After trying unsuccessfully to locate tire chains for our 2015 Ford Explorer I turned to the Internet. The first company to come up on the Google search was etrailer.com. They had the chains I was looking for and shipped them the same day. I have not yet attempted to install them; however, they are just what I expected, based on past experience.

I placed my order late in the evening. I received immediate notification that it would be processed. The next day I received notice that they had upgraded my shipping from standard shipping to two day shipping free of charge. This was the first time I have ordered from e-trailer, but it wont be the last time. If that is how they take care of a brand new customer, they can count on me for repeat business.

These chains were amazing! I was a bit hesitant to go with chains over cables due to the car's manual saying to use cables, but after talking to Bob at etrailer, and watching the install videos, I went with them (on all four tires) and am glad I did! We went up to Yosemite for the New Year, and it snowed the day we drove in. We got through the gate into the park without needing chains, but once inside, the roads started to get covered, and though we have AWD, we don't have snow tires and the chains seemed like the best option. We pulled over and had the chains on all four tires within about 20 minutes. The car ran like a tank through the snow (and later, ice-covered roads) and I'm really happy we went with the chains rather than cables. After putting on the chains, we drove about 100 yards to check and tighten them. They were actually pretty tight - only had to tighten one. They really really came in handy driving through the Yosemite Valley, and the email responses I got from Bob prior to buying these showed me great customer service. The shipping speed was top notch as well, and overall, I'm happy that we went with etrailer to get these chains for our snow-covered trip to Yosemite.

Chains were ordered on a Sunday, and delivered on Wednesday! Amazing fast service! I have not had the ned to use them yet, but am heading down to Yosemite tomorrow -- very glad I have them in my truck, just in case...

Ordered chains on Monday, received them on Wednsday, earlier than I ordered, and exactly what I ordered. Can't beat that with a stick!

Great price, very helpful review videos and delivered fast.

Informative Product listings on the website provides no surprises once the product is received.

A good choice for our new 2025 Highlander Hybrid XLE with 18" tires. Have occasional winter mountain snow needs, and like the easier install Chains came somewhat tangled, needing some patience to straighen our the first time. Expect less issue repacking them in the good carry case. A practice install highly recommended, as these are NOT the standard chains I had been used to. Seemed to install fairly tight first time. Just need some snow now. Happy with my choice so far. L

Written descriptions in the instructions would be nice. Took abut 20 min of flopping around till I got it right. Thank goodness for the picture of what hey are supposed to look like when mounted on the case or I still would be scratching my head. Also I'm not sure if you need to drive about 50 yards and correct the tension. But I guess I'll figure that out. All that said. After you do your trial install and see what's what, I don't see these taking much time to put on at all!

Only ordered because I needed chains for a trip. Paid extra to have chains delivered before my trip. Contacted etrailer to state the same. Chains arrived after I left for trip. Website needs to be corrected to reflect actual delivery times.

I HAVE BOUGHT 3 PAIR OF CHAINS FROM etrailer AND GOT FAST SHIPPING ON ALL 3 PAIR . 2 DAYS EXC SERVIRE. THE LAST PAIR I BOUGHT WAS FOR MY UTV. THESE CHAINS WERE NOT MADE FOR THE UTV . I NEW THIS BEFORE I BOUGHT THEM . MY UTV HAS OVERSIZE TIRES ON IT AND ATV/ UTV CHAINS WANT FIT IT SO I BOUGHT THESE CHAINS , HAD TO CUT 10 INCHES OFF BUT THEY WERE WHAT I WANTED AND THEY WORK PERFIT.EXCELLENT SERVICE , THANKS etrailer.

The chain links broke off on both pairs on the first time using it. Also because I purchased the chains in the summer to prepare for winter I was told too much time elapsed and I couldn’t get my money back nor a free exchange. I was pissed to say the least. I definitely would not recommend these chains and if you’re going to purchase from this company make sure you purchase within the 30 days that you’re actually going to use the chains that way if anything goes wrong they’re within the time period to have something done about it.

Awesome delivery. As soon as they arrived, I decided to dry fit them as a practise for when I have to use them in anger. At first the end connector on the cam side was difficult to figure out because of the way the locking mechanism was positioned, but once you have it swinging freely, it becomes obvious how it secures to the end of the chain. In all it took me only a couple of minutes to install and I am very happy with how the cams tighten and pull it all nice and tight. I know the chains are designed to fit different sizes of tire, but a helpful guide would be to advise how many surplus chain links need cutting off to make the optimal fit for your specific tire. Once I had dry installed the chains, it was obvious that I needed to hack some of the links off. Once the links were removed, the chain ends secured to the correct end link on both sides and I don't have to worry about tucking away the danglers, which could damage my rim or bodywork. Another useful guide to include, would be a YouTube link or hyperlink for the installation video. I know it returns a hit on a Google search, but still a nice touch.

etrailer is the best! Great service without drama!

They were shipped quickly. Driving out west hope I don't have to use them.

The snow change received were an excellent quality even better than showen in the photo's.

Easy to install great fit. Used for snow plow vehicle so heavy use

I had a heck of a time trying to get chains. No where locally, had the size I needed so I had to go online. etrailer.com was actually quick and easy to use. Found the ones I needed and got them ordered. It said it wasn't going to be delivered till the 27 or 28th... they came in on the 24th! Because of the fast delivery I was able to use them today and boy, did I need them! Snow, slippery, the road had kind of a step climb up to the job. Had a couple spots where I had to back up and take a different approach. Telling you, these chains were great! Thanks again for the quick delivery!

These are the best chains, hands down. I live off grid in an area where people constantly lose their vehicles or get them stuck. I need these half of the year and I've never been stuck, even with multiple feet of snow and ice. For most people I don't think you'll ever need replacement parts but for people like me they're easy to repair, diagnose, tighten etc. It's worth noting that you need some grip strength to tighten the cams, I haven't had issues but if you're a woman I'd recommend the "T" shape cam tightener etrailer sells so you can torque it better. It's important to note that these work great with even super knobby tires, so don't shy away if you need this style of chain. I can't recommend these enough, if you're a road traveler this is not the product for you but if you're on the farm, using this for a plow truck on an icy dirt road, going up snowy hills, going offroad in the snow, are camping in snowy wilderness etc this is for you. Just make sure you don't spin, because you can easily snap cross bars this way. etrailer is fantastic, as an aside and has been super helpful.

Very fast shipping!! Arrived in great condition. No complaints and will definitely be ordering all my chains from here. Would recommend to anybody. Thank You

Chains are perfect, mounted and tested, getting my snowplow ready for winter. I only had to cut a few links off of the ends for a perfect fit, I made sure the v-bars were all pointing out. I am anxious for our first snowfall. I am happy with all of my purchases from e-trailer

Great product and excellent service. I originally ordered a chain from Konig and chose expedited shipping because I needed them to arrive in time for an upcoming trip to the Sierras. It was on a Sunday afternoon and within an hour I received a call from someone at etrailer letting me know that the product I had ordered was on back order and suggested this Titan model which was in stock (and less expensive!). They shipped the next day and I received them in time. I did use them on my 2018 Highlander on the trip. They installed easily, fit well and the traction was excellent even when driving up hills on local Tahoe roads in a major snowstorm. Highly recommended.

Great product and fantastic service too. I have only tried on the chains and have not driven in them yet but the case and quality of the items were very good and they were very cheap too. After my order they contacted me because the items were still on route to their warehouse and could not be distributed however they kept me in the loop all the way and provided a tracking number too. They came in just over a week so considering that they had a delay on receiving the item at their end and it had to cross east to west coast plus free delivery thrown in I was very impressed with the service I received. Apologies but can't comment on the actual chains as I haven't used them in anger yet however they were really easy to fit without the instructions, takes about a minute and all the different parts are colour coded. The Alloy chains are rust preventative but they feel heavy duty with a good all round pattern for extra forward and leeway grip, not a tacky or cheap feeling product, the case is pretty heavy when packed away so quite happy so far. Hope this helps.

Great set of chains, worked perfect on my 2015 Ford Explorer with 245/60 R18 tires. Watch the installation videos and give them a practice in ideal conditions, so when you’re in the elements and have to get it do e you’ll have the process down. I would also suggest to keep a small bungee cord in the bag with the chains to help give a little length to the links that hook around the backside of the tire to make it easier to grab to help pull the links to the hook. Otherwise these are awesome and great for ice or snow, and seem to be high quality.

They looked like a nice set of chains, but have to rate a 1 star due to my experience. A customer service rep confirmed via chat that these chains would fit my tires (265 70 R16), but they were too small.

I live in Buffalo NU. We get some snow! My company work van absstinks in the snow even with extra weight and snow tires. I got stuck in a very long driveway and had to break out the chains. Tons of snow & wind blowing. Still was not much difficulty popping then on. Got out of my situation with ease!! Highly recommend these!

Jessica was very helpful selecting which chains to purchase. They fit well, the price was very competitive and arrived quickly. I had to deliver some material to a mountain location and needed to go down a couple of steep inclines. I put chains on all four tires of my truck and one axle on the trailer. I didn't have any slipping or sliding on an icy snow-packed road.

I love my titan chains. I purchased them last winter and had them on my Toyota truck the entire season. I live in a remote mountainous area on a forest service road that is not maintained so I needed a dependable set of chains and these were perfect. Ran all four tires with chains and a 4 wheel drive truck and had access all the time. Great chajns!!!!

Ordered two pair of chains and received two different styles with same part#. Not a big deal, still made them work. Free shipping was only a few days. Over all a good experience and product.

The order was handled very fast, and I got the snow chains in no time. Those are chains for big vehicle, they are heavy and sturdy. Comparing to diamond pattern chains that I had perilously, the new chains almost impossible to tangle. It takes just 30 seconds to lay them correctly on the ground. In my garage I put them as instructed in the video on etrailer web page. But in real life scenario, on highway shoulder, I would probably lay them down on the ground, drive 2-3 feet forward and try to close the chains on top of the wheel (versus crawling on the ground and trying to reach behind the wheel). The tension system is simple and intuitive. Comparing again to diamond pattern chains, this tension system is much more robust. The only downside of those chains, they miss caring bag. The bag they where shipped in, has no zipper, and cannot be closed once open.

Great chains! Get them on as tight as possible with all the cams facing out, drive a short way and then tighten the cams where needed. Very easy install and the grip is excellent - got us safely through the snowstorm that just hit Tahoe.

Chains were the correct size and light enough to handle easily. Product seems to operate well under snow and ice conditions like it was designed to do. All good to report.

Needed some individual adjustments (shortening, removing one cross-link) to my tires (no complain). After that, fitted very tight and performed above expectations on an unplowed section of road from the highway to my lake cabin.

No snow yet but the practice installation went great! So simple my 6 year-old helped make sure I was following the instructions properly. Time will tell if I need them and how they work in the upcoming North Idaho snow plowing season. Fit great on my 275/70R18 tires. I appreciate the carrying case they came with, also!

the chains that Gwendolyn sent me fit perfectly. And, they arrived in time to take them on a 2,900mile trip. As it turned out, I didn't have to use them, as the weather let up, and got through the Rockies and the Cascades with no need for chains. Better to have them and not use them, than need them and not have them.

I bought a pair of the Titan tire chains last winter. I only really used them a few times, but when I needed them, it was a night and day difference in traction! Very pleased with this purchase.

Nice chains. Easy to install. Not 1 min, but easier than ladder style. No need to lay down on ground behind/next to tire, or roll back/forth. I had a little issue w chain "buncing" in front/behind tire fottprint. I will plan on install per instructions THEN roll 1/4 turn to finish tensioning/centering. Tensioning scheme seem a bit marginal. I bought a spider bungee to do the tensioning more securely. Would be a nice touch if Titan would waterproof/laminate the included plain paper intruction page. Pretty nice carry case. I have not driven on these yet, so we'll see. These are a bit lighter & easier to install than my '80s vintage ladder style chains. That's what I was wanting & seems what I got. I'm happy, as long as they stay on in use.
