Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2"
Product fits well. It was not packaged well for shipping and had some paint damage on the edges. The instructions says to cut the heat shield 11", I did but I think it was too much.
Everything was shipped correctly and quickly. I have not had a chance to install but the instructions along with the videos should be no problem. If there is then I can reach out for help.

etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2"
I have a mobile sharpening business and have an enclosed cargo trailer that I work out of. We just purchased a Dodge Durango and needed a hitch and wiring harness to pull the trailer. I have never installed a hitch or wiring harness before, but etrailer.com has the instructions posted so you can read them before making a purchase. It seemed easy enough, so I made my order. The order shipped the next business day and arrived in two days! Installing the hitch was a very simple process of removing 4 bolts, lifting the hitch into place, and reinstalling the 4 bolts. (Hint: If you’re installing on a Durango, or possibly other vehicles, lower the spare tire and get it out of the way. If you have big hands like me, it will be much easier to get to the bolts.) This hitch tucks very nicely under the bumper. There is no worry about banging your shins on it! It looks good too. If you are needing a hitch but are reluctant to try to install it yourself… don’t fret! etrailer.com has very clear instructions that are easy to understand. I would highly recommend this to ANYONE needing a hitch and wants to save a few bucks by installing it yourself.
So far, the hitch meets expectations. I have not used it for hauling a trailer, but I don't see how it couldn't perform that function. I am waiting to install the wiring harness until this weekend. We would only use this hitch for small trailers. This was installed on a 2022 Dodge Durango GT Plus. I chose to buy this model because it was promoted as being built in the USA. I saw sub $100 versions available on Amazon, but I didn't want to roll the dice on Chinese quality. The purchase/checkout process was efficient and easy. Shipping was quick and the hitch was packaged adequately in a large box. No damage to the finish was noted from shipping and handling. The minor scuffs noted were probably there from the manufacturing process. INSTALLATION: the process is not difficult, but there was a major difference on our vehicle that was not addressed in the included instructions or the online video. There is a large, semi-circular plastic shield to protect the spare. This shield MUST be addressed so that you do not have a layer of plastic between the metal parts of the hitch and frame rail. Eventually the plastic will crack and fall out, leaving the bolts loose. All you need is a 10mm deep well socket to remove the nuts and you will then have enough room to slip the sides of the hitch *behind* the plastic. Once the bolts are torqued in place (I also used Red Loctite and reduced the torque by 4 lb-ft for wet threads) the plastic cover can be forced in enough to reinstall the nuts.

Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2"
Bought the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Class III 2" hitch receiver for a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Quality is well built and was properly packaged for transportation. It took me approximately 15 mins to install (remove, tighten and torque 4 factory bolts). Delivery was spot on with the provided ETA. This will be the second time I order a hitch through eTrailer. eTrailer provided the lowest cost (product + shipping) compared to many others online. Will definitely shop and order with eTrailer again.
Just put this hitch on my wife’s 2017 Jeep grand Cherokee. I was able to get under the back and install this on my own. Pretty straightforward and didn’t have any difficulty. So far, we’ve only used it for bike rack. Will install light wire harness next. Overall, pleasant experience with etrailer.com

My trailer hitch tried to get out of the box during shipping. Luckily everything was still in the box when I received it.
This is my second etrailer hitch. I’m very happy with them. I did the install alone. Better to have a friend help. I was able to install it without having to lift it off the ground. It probably would have been easier if I had put it on jack stands. I’m not a mechanic, but I decent around tools. You don’t need to be an expert to install this.

Great product! The hitch fit perfectly. The only issue was rusted, dirty weld nuts on the Equinox. Ran a tap through, no problems. Looks good and is tucked out of the way.
Quality product and super fast processing and shipping. Very impressed overall. With the help of the installation videos, I was able to do it myself in less than hour. And saved $200 doing it myself! Would definitely recommend etrailer.com to anyone.

Mazda CX5 Grand Touring 2019 excellent accessory, good quality and easy to install
This trailer hitch was, for me, very easy to install. I did not have any special tools but with only hand tools and not even jacking the car up I was able to install it in less than an hour. I did need my daughter to provide an extra set of hands while putting the first bolts in. I was very pleased with the quality of construction and ease of installation. It looks like the hitch came the car when I purchased it new. I would strongly recommend E Trailer.

Came 2 days early, didn't take my money till they ship it. Plus I never like to order anything online because I'm afraid it won't fit. But they said it would an it did( 2016 chevy traverse). Also it says 45 mins to install. Sounds About right 10 mins asking the wife an kids to help hold it up with no luck, 10 mins looking for my tools 18mm & 3/4 wrench,10 mins looking at the picture of the instructions because what GUY really reads it? lol, 10 mins putting it on by myself laying on my back in the driveway using my leg to hold it up & 5 mins putting on 1 bolt by the muffler because I didn't read the instructions an lower the muffler out of my way hahahah. P.s is you have soft hands I suggest wearing gloves an waiting for the muffler to cool off because i didn't ??. But all in all it was easy & fast to put on even if your by yourself. Definitely ordering again if I need anything for her car. Thanks etrailer
The instructions were spot on The videos were extremely helpful Price was great, and buying the trailer hitch, wiring harness, and fuse together as a package made the project easy. I would not hesitate to do that again when necessary.

Package showed up in 2 days as I was told. No damage. Ordered on line and would have preferred to talk to an agent to make sure that I was buying the correct hitch.
Put it on my mom's Caddy for my dad's hoveround chair lift. Install was pretty easy and hitch looks good.

Well made, well finished and heavy duty product! If you are even halfway handy, you can install this yourself. Like anything, fitting is exact.
Product was all there but arrived with shipping damage. Might want to think about how to keep the heavy items from moving in the shipping carton or protect the outside edges with cardboard or something. I'll touch up the paint but wanted to give some feedback, you guys seem pretty receptive to input. Other than that there was good communication through the whole process. Fast service. Thank you.

Its been a year since installing the Hitch Receiver. Granted it nearly never rains here in Arizona but i use the hitch everyday and drive a dirt road so I end u reunning the truck through the car wash at least 4 x a week. The hitch stil looks and performs axactly the same as the day I installed it. Although its not recommended I managed to install mine by myself, with no lifs or jacks. It was a bit awkward but I had it installed in about 30 mins on my 2016 Jeep Patriot.
This hitch wasn't quite as easy to install as in the video without the car up on a rack. The video was helpful. The hitch requires some jockeying around to get both bolts to go in. I used a couple of jacks to make it happen. The brackets were a little narrow for my 2014 Jeep Compass so I used a few 1/8 inch washers on one side to avoid stressing the welds too much on tightening. In the end the install came out good and the hitch seems solid.

Super easy installation! Step by step YouTube videos provided by etrailers were extremely helpful.
After owning for one year, it has been a valuable addition to our Jeep Patriot. We have pulled a small trailer well over 3,000 miles. We went from a Suburban to the Patriot and definitely need this to haul our belongings. I did spend the extra time to get the power cable up to the engine compartment by way of fishing it under the carpet or plastic trim. So it is completely hidden except in the door panel. There is no way to get it thru the firewall between the engine and the dashboard so this has worked well. Am going to install this same kit on my sons Patriot for Christmas.

Hitch went up super fast and straightforward.
The good: Arrived quickly. This is my second order from etrailer. I’ve been impressed with their customer service and product. The bad: Hardware package had fallen out which messed up my install schedule. etrailer got a new hardware package out quickly but I was out of town. I wish I had checked package immediately because I didn’t notice until install day. Installation still hasn’t happened due to scheduling conflicts. I was leaving for a 2 week mountain bike trip and wasn’t able to mount my rack.

A very easy and straight forward installation procedure, after removing underside splash panels on my Nissan Rogue it took 20 minutes to install and torque the trailer hitch bolts to specification. The wiring harness took about and hour and a half due to removing trim panels in order to properly route the auxiliary power cable from under the hood to the rear of the vehicle. All said and done it looks great and performs as advertised.
Had Hitch installed in less than 1 hour. Took longer to reinstall splash guard's. We need to install wire kit yet. Your Video's we very helpful on the install. Thanks

This hitch receiver is well made and it fit my 2007 Nissan Frontier perfectly. It looks good too! The installation was an easy, 30-minute process.
Had my mechanic install this a.m. Much easier on a lift. Fit well and handled my trailer easily. Great price and shipping time.

Perfect fit, fairly easy install, instructions are great especially the available video on YouTube of the exact same vehicle! One major tip, go ahead and do the extra step of removing the exhaust extensions on each side. It’s 3 small screws (yes, one is a blind screw on the top side) and once they’re removed the hitch slides right into place, with no fanagling or manipulating, rotating anything. It made this so. Much. Easier. To install.
After reviewing the video there were no surprises. I used a pair of "Rino" ramps on my driveway and was done in about an hour. Cutting the fascia was the most nerve racking part. Used a sharp utility knife and it turned out great. Lifting it into place was accomplished with the help of my wife. I left the fish wires all attached to play it safe and it all worked well. Torquing the side nuts took some effort since I only had so much room to position myself with the ramps. AS I stated in the review of the T connector harness your resources and knowledge made it a easy choice to buy from etrailer.

Just as most of the other reviews have said, the hitch is nice but it does require removal of about 3/4” off the bottom of the license plate bracket. Only two hole holes lined up and you have to either drill them out or weld on. Other than that it’s a nice hitch
Fit my 1984 K10 Chevy short bed great! Fairly easy install.

EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2"
This is a very solid, well constructed hitch receiver which comes with all the hardware necessary for a polished installation. There are even bolts for replacing the plastic fasteners for the bumper tabs! This install took me about two hours as I was doing it solo and had to come up with some way of supporting the receiver while getting the initial bolts in place using materials on hand. Having a cat want to supervise me during the install also didn't help things! I followed the installation video step by step and all turned out perfect. Thanks for a great product!
Purchased this hitch after consulting with the fabulous customer support people, George J, helped me pick out exactly what I needed for an older car and bike rack. my installer had no problem with it!
What our customers are saying:
"Excellent Experience. Nice website. Easy to find the right hitch. Hitch came quickly. It was a perfect fit for our Toyota Matrix with Ground Effects."
