This hitch is built to handle the everyday hauling most folks do. With a 3,500 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and 525 lbs of tongue weight, it’s right at home carrying bikes, towing a small trailer, or hauling extra gear on a cargo carrier. The 2" x 2" receiver opening gives you a wide range of accessory options, from bike racks to ball mounts, without needing adapters. When using weight distribution, it’s rated for up to 4,000 lbs GTW and 525 lbs tongue weight, giving you confidence in your setup for light to moderate towing.
You don’t need special tools or a shop lift to get this hitch installed. It’s a complete bolt-on design that mounts directly to the frame with the included hardware—no drilling or welding required. The precision, robotic welding and exact fitment mean the holes line up and the install goes smoothly whether you’re working in a driveway or garage. It’s made for DIY installs that don’t turn into weekend-long projects.
The matte black finish doesn’t just look good—it works hard too. The powder coat over a protective base resists rust and corrosion while hiding dirt, scuffs, and dings better than glossy finishes. The round-tube design gives it a clean, finished look under your bumper so it blends in instead of sticking out like an add-on. It’s built to hold up over years of weather and road grime while keeping that rugged appearance.


Fully welded steel construction means this hitch can stand up to daily use without flexing or rattling loose. Whether you’re loading a cargo tray for a trip or hooking up a small trailer for weekend errands, the sturdy build gives you solid, dependable performance every time you hitch up.

The fit is good and I very much appreciate the inclusion of the four fish-wires, which made the bolt insertion into the frame very easy. Working alone, it took less than an hour to install and the erailer online video was very helpful.
Thxs some mucho
Fast delivery, easy 30 minute install, centered torqued and looking good. Thank you for awesome transaction.
The hitch I ordered for my 2019 Ford Transit Connect arrived on time and fit perfectly. It installed within 20 minutes by myself and I didn't have to lower the spare tire. This is the 2nd hitch I have ordered from Etrailer and both fit perfectly and were easy to install. Thanks Etrailer for making the whole process easy.
Very easy install. Nice and heavy duty.
EASY to install .... I am only using this for my slide in vise...I made a hole in my Van's shelving and slide my trailer hitch vise mount into it.... when I need my vise I just slide it out from the shelving and slip it into the E-trailer hitch receiver..... I put a huge amount of brute force on it threading and joining gas pipes.... haven't been able to break it yet GREAT HITCH.
Phenomenal customer service..
This is a 1 year update review. Was easy to install and I've had no issues thus far. Hitch receiver has held up well to Northern Ohio winters and road salt.
I am thoroughly impressed I found your company by googling how to install a trailer hitch on a Ford transit I seen how easy it was went to your website and ordered it and the next day I had it i can’t believe how easy it was (the whole process)
Great quality and product! Installation was a breeze with the how to video as well!
Perfect fit, easy installation. YOU MAY HAVE TO LOOSEN THE SPARE TIRE DURING INSTALLATION if it interferes with the fitment of the hitch at first. The spare will secure properly again once you get the hitch mounted.
Small complaint: This is the second trailer hitch I've ordered from etrailer and both arrived damaged - poking through the box and scuffed up. I don't know if the packaging needs a little more padding or if it's more of a problem with UPS, but it has happened both times. The damage is minor and easily fixed with a little black Rustoleum spray paint, but it does add a step before installation. I'm still happy enough with the product to give it five stars.
High-quality great instructions especially the video had it installed in 30 minutes would highly
This was easy to install. I did it by myself and then borrowed a torque wrench from a neighbor to finish. I pulled a U-haul cross country and it performed flawlessly. Now I have something that can enable a whole host of options for bikes, camping, and other small accessories.
Seems pretty nice to me. I bought it for use with a bike rack. I had a shop install it because of HOA rules.
Wrong bolts 4 1/2 in instead of 2 7/16
Everything was amazing. The instructions were amazing. There was also a video that explained exactly how to hook it up to my vehicle, and I loved the fish wires to pull the bolts through the undercarriage.
Works Great!
Watch an install video before trying to install! Certain bolts go with certain washer plates. Might be obvious, but after a long day and a smoke, mistakes were made. Once I knew what I was doing it was a breeze! 10/10 would recommend buying and install yourself to save some money.
I’m going to leave the paper on so people know it’s new
I’m missing the screws to hook the hitch
ive never come across a receiver with 2 different size pin holes till yesterday after i got it hung! pin wouldnt go all the way thru to put the hair pin in it. how does THAT,happen???
Very easy to install! I did it by myself in about 40 mins. Backing up on car ramps made it easily accessible.
This trailer hitch is performing as expected. I have this installed on a 2019 Ford Transit connect. This is a small van but I needed something to pull a small utility trailer. I have had no issues and use the trailer hitch every few weeks to pull trailer with small equipment.
Great item to purchase. My brother installed it with ease. Working great. Holding my father's wheelchair
Would have gone smooth, but I was by myself...knocked one of the bolts into the frame. Had a cheap endoscop from Temu which i needed to fish the bolt back out. Used Rachet straps as another set of hands which made install work perfectly.

Thanks for your response Jim, Props for completing the solo install, the rachet strap trick is a good to know for anyone doing the install alone like you did. Appreciate you choosing etrailer and reach out if you need anything!

Hi, usually the install hardware and install instructions are put in a plastic bag that's stuffed into the receiver tube. If it isn't there, please let me know and I'll have replacement hardware sent out.
