Most Popular 5000 lbs WD GTW for 2018 Ford Explorer

I installed this hitch with the vehicle on the ground. I did not use any jacks. I am giving this 3 stars because of the difficulty installing rubber exhaust hangers to the hitch. I could have done this installation by my self. Except for the misery of trying to bolt the exhaust hangers to the hitch. The use of a carriage bolts was a miss by the designers of this hitch. I had to wait for a friend to help me. Because of this I had to finish in the dark. Looks great

Great product with the price of litle over 100$, took me 45 minute to install in my garage. I follow video instruction provided w/o any problem (i had mechanic background).

Arrived a day earlier than expected. Very easy and quick to install. Love the matte black finish, blends in very nice with bumper fascia.

Purchased this hitch last December but didn't get a chance to install it until today (August 3, 2020). Very happy with it. Ran into the same issue one of the other reviewers mentioned where the driver's side had some kind of weird towing (?) attachment already secured to it that wasn't mentioned in the video but was able to work around it by simply removing it and following the install video. The install video was a life saver and the guy doing it (Joe?) did an excellent job of explaining things. I have NO mechanical skills whatsoever and was able to do it myself so anyone out there should be able to handle the install, no problem.

Excellent ++++++ I received my new hitch for my 2018 Ford Explorer. I You Tubed the install from etrailer, and I literally could have sat back and watch it install itself. What a breeze. The ONLY difficulty I had was lining up the blocks to raise the car up a bit to make the install easier. This is my second hitch from etrailer. Needless to say, I'm 100% satisfied. Great product, fast delivery. Thanks

Perfect hitch for 2018 Ford Explorer. Have used with bike rack as well as cargo carrier. Very discrete as well under the rear bumper.

Nice hitch. Unfortunately it broke through the box during shipping. UPS is tough on bulky heavy products but having zero packing material to keep it from sliding around in the box is more of the root cause problem in my opinion. This hitch has very little clearance at the receiver tube and bumper facier. I wasn’t able to use the anti rattle clamp that I also purchased.

Great hitch. Installed myself. Fairly straightforward. Recommend having something to hold the hitch in the up position while under the car to assist while installing. Only complaint, no torque rating for the bolts that hold the hangers. That would be helpful.
