Features to know about

Tackle More Jobs with One Hitch: Class III Strength and 2" Receiver

With a 5,000 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and 750 lbs tongue weight, this Class III hitch gives you solid towing capability for light to moderate loads. It’s built to handle typical weekend jobs like small campers, boats, or utility trailers. The 2" x 2" receiver size is the standard for most bike racks, cargo carriers, and ball mounts, so you can easily swap between hauling gear and towing trailers without adapters.

Built to Last Through Weather and Road Grime: Matte Black Powder Coat Finish

The durable, powder coated steel construction is covered with a matte black finish that resists rust and corrosion. This rugged coating not only stands up to the elements but also hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish. The tough look pairs well with vehicles that see real use on the road or on the job.

Install It in Your Own Driveway: Bolt-On Design with Included Hardware

This hitch bolts directly to the frame with no welding required. All mounting hardware and step-by-step instructions come in the box, so you can handle installation at home using basic tools. The precision, robotic welding ensures everything lines up right the first time, saving you the hassle of adjustments or modifications once it’s in place.

Stay Ready for Any Setup: Works for Towing or Accessory Carriers

Whether you’re heading out with bikes, cargo baskets, or a small trailer, this hitch keeps your options open. The sturdy square-tube design supports secure connections for towing or carrying gear. You can add your preferred ball mount, pin, and clip (sold separately) to complete your setup and get on the road with confidence.

by:

This is not my first order from trailer. Again it's been a great experience, the hitch fit great, I watched the how to video, and all went easy.
Very good experience.



by:

Received the trailer hitch a day early.installed it instantly with out instructions(instructions were included)strait forward and had everything needed to make the job easy.install time 1:10min. No modifications needed.went on a 2020 blazer Lt. Very Happy.



by:

This installation was a nightmare! I tried for multiple hours to get this installed, turns out the hitch itself was bent and did not align with the frame correctly (see picture). I had to spend hundreds of dollars ontop of all of the time/effort already input to get the product unbent and installed.

I am so sorry you had to go through all that! Most of the time, when a hitch isnt lining up quite right, it is because the flanges or wings have been bent a little in the shipping and transit process. Bending them back to the proper shape is easier than you might think! I have attached a link to an article that shows a few different ways you can do this if you ever run into this problem again.



by:

Seems like a nice receiver, except the right mounting bracket was bent. Bolt holes did not line up. Had to be bent prior to shipping,since the box was not damaged.



by:

Installed easy and good product.



by:

I haven't even opened the box yet. I needed a 2" receiver for our new Blazer. I bought this same thing from you guys a few years back but only for our old rouge. I was so pleased that this time I came here first.

Its holding up like a champ. A little bouncy but this is to be expected Toting our 2up e bikes @ 70lbs each.



by:

Was not a perfect fit as I had to force the bolts in. Close but not perfect. Also it would have been nice to have been told that the hitch would interfere with the hands-free feature of the rear hatch on the vehicle. After I started the install and realized that the hitch would cover the sensor for the hands-free feature I called to ask about it. That's when I was told that the sensor for that feature would be covered by the hitch. You knew that up front but never mentioned it before the sale. Not real happy about that.



by:

Was easy to install with given instruct ions.



by:

Very easy install with good instructions. Took just over an hour start to finish laying on my back in the driveway. Hitch has held up well one-year later and would definitely recommend to anyone. Will purchase similar products in the future as my needs arrive.



by:

Fits good. The only problem is the hands free hatch opener hits on the hitch and I had to drill a new hole in the bumper cover to anchor it.

Hitch receiver works great

@DanM Glad to hear the hitch is working well for you, Dan! What are you using your hitch for?


by:

Clean hitch design and excellent powder coat finish.



by:

Easy 30 min. install. Do not have to drop exhaust to install (would make accessing the openings at the ends of the frame rails for bolt install easier but it isn't necessary). Quality hitch. I am very pleased. Highly recommend.



by:

Arrived very quick and it was much cheaper than the GM was.



by:

Fit perfect put it on by myself. Another person would’ve made it easier.



by:

Used your company prior with never a issue.This time was not a good experience as I have always installed them myself with no help. 2025 Blazer has a closed channel. The access holes for the bolt and washer were too small making it impossible to install them. Had to take to Pep Boys where they had to drill out the access holes and install it for me for almost $200. So saving money rather than going factory in this case did not benefit me. Will not be doing additional business with your company and quite pissappointed.

just got it



by:

Hitch was made for my vehicle but did not fit properly. I had to enlarge bolt holes in hitch and vehicle frame in order to get all bolts installed. If I wasn't experienced in metal working I would have had to send hitch back.



by:

Excellent service. Had my order delivered in two days. Perfect!
Thanks alot Nick. Made my day!



by:

It is a good bike hitch. It came with bad instructions. I had my dad help me cut some excess material off with an angle grinder. And took us both to put it on my (22 Chevy Blazer 2wd). After having for a year, I have decided to just keep it on the vehicle & dont take it off. Just a month ago, I discovered that you can fold this model bike hitch, closer to the vehicle, so it is not sticking out as far.
I recieved an email from etrailer to leave a review. I gave it 3 stars because I had the time, help, & material to get the hitch working right.
I dont have photos: dark rn & my car is really dirty...



by:

Item arrived on time perfect fit no issues at. The videos provided on website to help install hitch were also a big help thank you.



by:

Hitch is made very well. Great quality hardware included. Coating is very thick. Reason for the 4 stars is the spacers included did not fit the access hole. I had to take a step bit to enlarge the access hole. Install was easy from there.



by:

Perfect fit! The only complaints I have are that it was poorly packaged and no instructions were included. The receiver was packed loose in a box and had done considerable damage to it. I had UPS wait while I confirmed that there was no damage. I expect a quality supplier like etrailer to do a better job.



by:

The hitch receiver works well and as intended. The only isse is with install. My Blazer has dual exhaust tips that extend through openings in the bumper facia. It is not possible to drop the exhast down past the opening which surround the exhaust tips. Also it was nearly impossible to blindly remove the bolts for the exhaust brackets. So, the rear bumper facia had to be totally removed from the vehicle. Much more involved. In addition, the hitch assembly made contact with a bracket that the electrical connector for the park aid sensors, the brackets had to be modified else the bumper facia would not assemble properly. It has been 8-9 months since I installed the hitch and I did not take photos etc.



by:

Install is pretty easy. I done it in garage on floor by myself with the use of a floor jack. Watch the video as it is helpful.



by:

Bought this for a 2021 Blazer Premiere. It can be used on the premier with a slight modification. I did not have to drop the muffler but I did have to completely remove the lower valance support brackets to slide it in. I had to shave just a little bit off the brackets to allow them to be reinstalled in front of the hitch. Bitch was slightly bent upon arrival but the videos on here on how to correct that were helpful. 2.5 hour install by myself. Overall, satisfied with the hitch. Using it for a hitch mounted bike rack. 4 stars only because I had to modify the support brackets.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2026 Chevrolet Blazer That Mounts Behind the Bumper?
    Hey Steve, congrats on the new SUV! We do have a hitch that mounts behind the rear bumper on a 2026 Chevrolet Blazer. It is the Draw-Tite item # 76023. This is a custom fit class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 4,500 lbs towing capacity and a maximum tongue weight of 675 lbs. I really like the Draw-Tite Hitch item # 76023 because it installs behind your rear bumper cover and can be completely hidden when you are not towing. I have linked an installation video below so you can see...

  • Which Hitch To Install On A 2024 Chevy Blazer All Wheel Drive?
    Hi Wayne! Between the two different styles, I would go for the etrailer hitch # e36YR over the Draw-Tite (both of which fit the Premier and non-Premier models). Reason being, it is a lot easier to install. The etrailer hitch is rated 4 out of 10 for the install difficulty and the Draw-Tite hitch is rated 10 out of 10 for the difficulty. Both are equally hidden and the etrailer hitch actually has higher capacities, so I think it's an easy choice. Plus the etrailer hitch is American made...

  • Hitch and Wiring Recommendations for a 2021 Chevy Blazer
    Hey Richard, thanks for reaching out! The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e36YR is my hitch recommendation for your 2021 Chevy Blazer because of the matte black finish. This finish makes it more durable than the classic glossy black finish we see from other hitch brands. Then for wiring, the Curt T-Connector # C56325 is your best option, and I recommend securing it near the hitch receiver with the mounting brackets # 18144 and # C83DR. It looks like you'll be towing with your Blazer...

  • How Much Can 2023 Chevy Blazer Tow With etrailer Hitch Installed
    Hey Ted! You will always be limited by the lower capacity when towing. It isn't uncommon for a hitch like the etrailer # e36YR to have a higher capacity than the vehicle it is designed for. Hitches are often overrated but they do not increase the towing capacity. You will be limited to the 4,500/450 lb rating of your Blazer. Will you be towing a trailer? If so, you will also want the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56325 and a ball mount like # e66PR.

  • How Much Trailer Can A 2021 Chevy Blazer AWD Tow
    Hey Pete, To determine your Blazers towing capacity you'll want to look for the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and Gross Combined Vehicle Rating (GCVWR). These numbers are typically on a sticker either in the driver's side door jamb or in the glove box, but you can typically also find them in the owner's manual as well. You'll subtract your GVWR from the GCVWR in order to determine how much your vehicle can tow. I've attached a help article below that explains this in greater detail...

  • What Hitch Will Be Easiest To Install On A 2024 Chevy Blazer?
    The easiest hitch to install on your 2024 Chevy Blazer is the etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e36YR. All of the other hitches we offer for the 2024 Blazer will require full removal of the rear bumper, while the # e36YR will not. This will make for a much faster, more simple install.

  • Curt vs etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2023 Chevy Blazer
    The only difference between the Curt and etrailer trailer hitches that fit your 2023 Chevy Blazer is the finish.

The hitches that fit your '23 Blazer are the following part numbers: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e36YR - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13418 The matte black finish is nice as it hides the inevitable dings, scuffs and scratches better than the glossy...

  • How Much Can I Tow With A 2021 Chevy Blazer
    Yes, you can absolutely pull a 1500 lb trailer with a 2021 Chevy Blazer. Looking at the online owners manual for the Blazer it looks like there is some variance in towing capacity across different models. For example, Blazer 3LT and Premier trims are capable of towing up to 4,500 lbs with the available Trailering Package in combination with the 3.6L V6 engine and available AWD. Please refer to your owners manual for specifics on your vehicles towing capacities. That said, if you need...

  • Best Way To Get Hardware Inside The Frame On A 2024 Chevy Blazer
    Good question. When installing a hitch like the etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e36YR on a 2024 Chevy Blazer, there is more than one way to get the bolts inside the frame rail. What we recommend doing is simply pulling the hardware through the hole at the end of the frame rail, as it will be big enough to fit the hardware. There is a second hole near the two bolt holes that can be used for fishing the hardware but it would need to be enlarged with a drill or file in order for the hardware to...
