You don’t need a heavy-duty setup to tow your weekend gear. With a 5,000 lbs gross trailer weight rating and 500 lbs tongue weight, this Class III 2" receiver hitch is made for everyday use — from pulling a small utility trailer to hauling camping gear or bikes. It’s strong enough for regular towing tasks but sized right for simple, reliable performance.
Once installed, most of the hitch tucks away under the vehicle, leaving only the receiver visible. That means you get the function of a full-strength hitch without a bulky look hanging below the bumper. It keeps things neat and out of sight while still being ready for your next towing or hauling job.
This hitch bolts directly to the frame using included hardware and standard tools. There’s no drilling or welding required, which makes it possible to handle installation yourself at home. Whether you’re working solo or with a helper, you can line it up, tighten it down, and be ready to hit the road in about an afternoon.
The steel frame is finished with a black powder coat and A-coat to guard against corrosion and road grime. That dual-layer protection helps prevent rust even after years of exposure to the elements. Tested to meet SAE J684 standards, this hitch delivers proven strength and safe performance every time you tow.

Easy to install!
The hitch install went easy as advertised with an extra pair of hands. My daughter and I had it installed in about 40 mins.
Trimming the under body dust cover panels removed took the most time of the install.
My main use for the hitch is to carry a bike rack. This hitch was the most cost effective product from eTrailer.
Great, fit
My only gripe with the product was that the install was a bit more challenging that I had hoped. Doing it solo is challenging but the main hold up was that the hitch seemed to not line up perfectly with the car frame holes. Once I got one bolt in place, I had to use C-clamps to move the hitch to have the same hole centers so that I could install the rest of the bolts. Again, a very hard thing to do without help or proper tools. If there is any way to keep the bolt slots the same as they are not on one side of the hitch and then change the opposite side to a 90 degree bolt slot, that would fix this issue. Thanks.
Got it last night 3/13, as promised. Installed it this morning and it works like a charm!
The hitch was quality. Arrived on time. Had it installed professionally in about 1.5 hours. Done!
Product and shipping time are great. The only problem I had was having to lever the mounts about a half inch to get bolts holes to line up ( Possible shipping damage)?
Nicely built and a clean install on our ‘24 Highlander.
Installation went well
Perfect fitment. And the installation video was spot on, it went over everything.
good product,but should also include light kit and mounting bracket fot flat plug
Great Product. Fit my 2026 Toyota Hylander perfectly. Easy Installation
Showed up on time, easy install directions, and product feels heavy duty.

Probably the easiest hitch I have ever installed. Looks great and tucks up under nicely. No cutting into the bumper which was important to me. Did it by myself on the floor without having to jack up the car. I did unhook the muffler but only because my torque wrench was too large to fit above the muffler and I do not have a long enough extension to extend below the muffler. My Highlander is a Hybrid and it fit fine- the e-trailer web site never mentions hybrids but it fit.
Easy to instill. I backed my Highlander up on some car ramps to give me a little extra room. Had my 13-year-old grandson hold on to side while I was holding the other to start the bolts that was easy. And then I did trim the plastic shield that you remove. You have to cut it out some. I used a hacksaw and a utility knife to accomplish this. Last time we were all assembled in that room last time we were a bit disappointed
Everything lined up perfectly had to trim a little piece of plastic underneath the left side but totally normal for installing a hitch. Had to drop the exhaust hanger on the right side took 2 minutes for the price you can't beat this hitch.
Was able to install it myself, with the help of a floor jack, additional
jack, two jack stands, some 2X4's, and a bucket. Fit perfectly - sideways
slotted holes were a great help. Removed spare but didn't need to. Didn't
have to touch muffler. Convinced that it will accommodate a full-sized spare.
The bolt holes didn’t line up. I had to take a hydraulic jack and spread the mounting flanges apart to make it fit.
I would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't for the fact that it got bent during shipping and I had to pry it open. Once I figure out how to do that (with the help of the etrailer employee), the hitch receiver went right in place.
Their customer services lady (Siobhan M.) is amazing (5 stars for her), she was quick to respond, respectful, helpful, and knowledgeable.
Delivery of the Trailer Hitch Receiver was just a few days. It was packaged well and the video instructions were easy to find for my exact make and model. This was installed on a 2021 Toyota Highlander XLE. Install took about 45 minutes working at a slow pace with two people. Once complete the receiver looks great. You can barely see it as most of it's tucked away underneath the vehicle. I'm extremely satisfied with the quality and finish of the product. I thought this was going to be a nightmare getting it to fit and look right. Very Satisfied with the purchase and easy of installation.
