Features to know about

Add More Utility to Your Ride: Class III 2" Hitch Receiver

This hitch opens up a lot of possibilities for hauling and gear setup. With a 2" x 2" receiver opening and a Class III rating, it’s built to handle up to 3,500 lbs of gross trailer weight and 350 lbs of tongue weight. That means you can tow a small trailer, pull a utility load, or attach bike racks and cargo carriers with confidence. The sturdy, square-tube design gives it the strength needed for everyday towing or weekend projects.

Built to Last Through the Elements: Matte Black Powder Coat Finish

The steel construction is fully welded and protected by a matte black powder coat over a base layer for rust resistance. This finish gives it a rugged, carbide-like look that hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than glossy hitches. It’s made to take on weather and road debris without showing wear, keeping your setup looking clean even after heavy use.

Simple Bolt-On Install: No Welding Required

Getting this hitch mounted doesn’t call for special tools or fabrication. It bolts right onto the vehicle’s frame using existing hardware points—no welding needed. Installation instructions are included to walk you through the process step by step, so you can get it done in about an hour and a half using standard tools in your driveway or garage.

Keep It Functional and Clean: Concealed Cross Tube Design

The concealed cross tube keeps most of the hitch tucked out of sight for a cleaner rear-end look once installed. You’ll only see the receiver opening when it’s time to hook up your rack or trailer, giving your ride that low-profile appearance many people prefer while still keeping full towing and accessory capability.

First ordered the same item through Amazon but they package the wrong one, so I decided to order directly through the page here and the correct one came. Fits perfectly for my ProMaster City 2020 thanks a lot. Easy to install with the help of their YouTube video

It sure means a lot to hear the videos and resources we make were actually able to help out one of our neighbors! Thanks for taking the time to say so, too. I hope we get to help you out on your next project. :) What are you going to be hauling with the hitch? Did you take up a new hobby?



by:

Great fit and finish, did find one location that hindered the install momentarily. On the back of my van there was an unused ground stud that was keeping the hitch from laying flat on the frame. I just marked where it was and drilled a small hole in the hitch. It may be a specific year thing but after that the hitch install went super easy



by:

Everything fitted great. Very easy to install. I wish the reciver opening came in a 1 7/8.



by:

Fits great and easy to install thanks to the installation video.



by:

Great job.



by:

I've used this hitch twice and it's a perfect fit with the correct accessories. I'd definitely use again and recommend for future hitch needs.



by:

Works great. Use it on my small cargo van to haul my 100 lb bike.



by:

Good price. Fast delivery. Great quality. Its my 4th hitch purchase from eTrailer. Their prices, fast delivery and quality are hard to beat.



by:

The fitment of this hitch was spot on and took no longer that ten minutes to install.



by:

Awesome product, super fast shipping, great technical information

Let us know how the install goes, Jon! What are you going to be towing with it?



by:

Amazingly easy install thanks to the video step by step instructions! Best quality, super speedy shipping, and fast easy install. Best part is that it was 1/4 the cost the dealership quoted me!



by:

The hitch was easily installed by my nephew who has experience with such things. I think I could have even done it myself if I absolutely had to! We used it for a bike rack.

  • 2018 Ram ProMaster City Trailer Hitch Receiver Recommendation
    I have the perfect trailer hitch for your 2018 Ram ProMaster City; the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e96YR. I've had a few of these installed on my own personal vehicles and I really like how the matte black finish blends in with the black trim on vehicles as well as provides better scratch resistance as opposed to the standard glossy finish. This specific hitch installs behind the bumper as well so you only see the receiver. Attached is an installation video as well as a photo showing...

    On your 2017 Ram ProMaster City van it doesn't matter. The etrailer Hitch item # e96YR installs behind your rear bumper and the Curt 4-Way Wiring Harness item # C56270 installs behind your rear tail lights and inside the door frame. I have linked installation videos below along with the instructions so you can see the process for both the hitch and wiring harnesses.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2020 Ram ProMaster City
    You're pretty much right on, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75219, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e96YR, and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13215 are pretty much the same. The only differences are going to be the brand, where it's made, and the finish on the hitch. Other than that, these hitches are the exact same. If it were me, I'd go with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e96YR because it's made in the USA, and it has a nice matte black finish.
