Say goodbye to welding and hello to ease with this hitch's bolt-on design. It affixes directly to your vehicle's frame with precision, ensuring maximum strength and an impeccable fit. Even better, it comes with a complete hardware kit and detailed installation instructions—giving you the confidence to install it seamlessly and hit the road in no time.
This hitch isn't just a one-size-fits-all product; it's a custom fit designed specifically for your vehicle. Crafted with precision robotic welding, it offers unmatched strength. The gloss black powder coat finish over a protective base coat ensures superior corrosion resistance and durability—engineered to withstand the elements for years of reliable service.
Tailored for varying towing needs, this hitch can handle a gross trailer weight of up to 3,500 lbs and a tongue weight of 350 lbs regularly. But the true magic happens when used with weight distribution, bumping the capacities to an impressive 5,000 lbs GTW and 500 lbs TW. Whether you're heading out on a camping trip or moving gear, this hitch adapts to your towing demands effortlessly.
Made for those who value stability and reliability, this hitch features a square-tube design that enhances its sturdy performance. It's a true workhorse, built to keep your trailer securely connected through every bend and bump on your travels. For those who demand quality and strength, this hitch aligns perfectly with those expectations.
Navigating the roads while towing is less about showing off and more about blending in. With a cleverly concealed cross tube, this hitch maintains your vehicle's aesthetic. It stays out of sight but delivers enormous utility—allowing you to focus on the adventure ahead without compromising on style.
OK
Product is great shipping was horrible. My receiver was hanging out of the box on arrival. It was scratched but not affecting function.
Solid and high quality. Easy to install with provided bolts, but had to cut a little bit of the plastic bumper to make it fit.
Products fit perfect. Good instructions. No problems.
Good price as well. Shipped on time...
Another home run with a etrailer hitch install. Bolted right up like you would hope.
Was just what I expected
Received bent
Heavy duty! Well engineered. Avoided any conflicts with the muffler, exhaust pipe and spare tire. Took about an hour because I didn't read the instructions until it was on.
Instructions in the box said (and showed) to "sandwich" the muffler mount between the driver's side frame rail and the hitch... which would result in an uneven and unstable hitch mount (with hitch bolted directly to frame rail on the passenger side).
Instructions available online correctly said and showed to bolt hitch directly to rail on both sides.
Excellent fit. Strong quality strength in design. Clean welds. All brackets and bolt holes were spot on.
Make sure your mounting tabs are square with the frame. Mine were bent in transit I assume. Knocked back square with a sledge hammer while standing on bar.
Item came bent and couldn't be mounted as delivered. eTrailer said it was "normal flex" and wouldn't admit that there was something wrong in either their production or shipping process. Photos show left and right sides compared to a square placed on the main cross-tube. I took a sledge hammer to it and it straightened enough to mount it, but shouldn't have had to. I'll save money and go elsewhere next time.
The hitch and build quality is great. The price was also just and better than many universal type hitches. Why I didn’t rate higher was because the two mount ends get exposed during shipping & the paint gets rubbed off. After repainting them, i realized the one end was bent. A few whacks with a mini sledge fixed it but it would have sucked if it was worse.
They sent me No wiring harness. How was I to know you have to ask for that. It's essentially required by law because you can't tow anything without tailights and, Obviously, you're not going to have any tailights without a harness to hook them up to.
perfect fit easy install
I have a 2012 xc90 and the 2011 hitch fits perfectly, but it effects my back up sensors a little annoying
Amazing value! Great piece of kit!
Very well made and simple to install. Comes with hardware and instructions.
This is a fraction of the cost of the a factory receiver. Attaches to the factory mounting points. And has a higher tow rating than the factory hitch receiver. The factory receiver is a hideaway, but you sacrifice towing capacity.
This, though not a hideaway, is pretty discreet and has better towing capacity.
I did have the luxury of using a lift during my install, and did my brakes at the same time. Removal of the rear tires isn't necessary to install this hitch receiver.
The hitch is heavy duty and fit perfectly as advertised. I also bought the bed extension adapter and I turned my SUV into a truck. etrailer has great products and great people! I'm a customer for life.
This is a beefy hitch receiver that works great and is much stronger than some of the more flimsy competitors. Installation took a little effort on my 2005 Volvo XC90, but very doable.

One year later: Still doing well. I pulled a 6x12 dual axle U-Haul trailer from South Carolina to Florida, about an 8.5 hour drive. Everything went really well. This receiver is well made and handles everything weve thrown at it, so far. Highly recommended for a 1st Gen XC90.
