Features to know about

Add Hauling Power Without the Hassle: Class III 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver

This fully welded Class III hitch gives you the versatility to tow or carry gear with ease. With a 2" x 2" receiver opening, it’s ready for bike racks, cargo carriers, or small trailers. It’s rated for up to 6,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 900 lbs tongue weight, and when used with weight distribution, those numbers go up to 8,000 lbs and 900 lbs respectively. The bolt-on design installs directly to the frame—no welding required—and comes with the complete hardware kit and instructions so you can get it mounted and start using it quickly.

Keep It Looking Good for the Long Haul: Matte Black Powder Coat Finish

The matte black powder coat gives this hitch a rugged look while keeping corrosion at bay. The finish hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy coating, so it stays looking clean even after miles on the road. Underneath that layer is a protective base coat that adds another barrier against rust. The round-tube design gives a finished appearance that blends nicely under the bumper instead of standing out.

Side-by-side comparison of matte carbide powder coat and glossy black trailer hitch finishes showing difference in texture and shine for the etrailer Class III hitch.

Close-up comparison of etrailer matte carbide black finish versus glossy finish on trailer hitches emphasizing texture, light reflection, and durability differences.

Dependable Strength Where It Counts: Precision-Welded Steel Construction

Built from durable steel and welded with precision robotics, this hitch is made to handle real-world towing and hauling demands. Those strong welds ensure solid alignment with your vehicle’s frame, improving stability for everything you attach—whether you’re loading a cargo tray or towing a small camper. The result is a hitch that feels sturdy every time you mount an accessory or trailer to it.

Took two hours for two of us to install. Very straightforward. There is some trimming needed on the driver’s side plastic covering that wasn’t mentioned in the instructions, but it wasn’t a big deal. You’ll need a torque wrench to tighten the bolts to spec.

Ive had my hitch for an year and I have not had any problems. It is very well made the color hasnt faded and theirs no rust. I will be purchasing another one for my next vehicle.



by:

Trailer doesn’t disappoint! The speed of delivery and detailed instructions on installation are the best in the industry. I studied the instruction gathered my tools and had my new trailer hitch installed in 90 minutes. One of the best product companies around.



by:

Solid hitch! Love the paint on it, it should last longer than I will own the vehicle.



by:

This receiver was a perfect fit for my 2019 Toyota Highlander. The mounting holes aligned perfectly with the chassis and installation was a quick one man job. The installation paperwork and video on the website gave detailed step by step instructions for cutting the undercarriage trim pieces to accommodate the hitch. Looks good in the matte finish too.



by:

This hitch is bombproof. After one year it is still super solid. It is low profile and looks great. I’ve pulled several things with it but mostly use it for my bike rack and cargo tray. It was a lot of work to install but the instructions were detailed and accurate for my vehicle. I would definitely buy it again.

Still works great. Still solid. Would definitely buy again.

I bought this trailer last year to add extra storage for a trip, and it has exceeded all expectations. The installation was much easier than anticipated, with clear instructions and everything fitting perfectly. Using it for a large hitch carrier was no challenge at all. The construction is rock solid, and it feels like it’s built to last. It has made traveling much more convenient, giving us ample space for all our gear. We’re extremely happy with the purchase—our only regret is that we didn’t invest in it sooner!

So, it has been since we have had it installed and we used it several times. No regrets without a dubt. I am now looking it have it installed on my second vehicle.



by:

The trailer hitch arrived a day earlier than expected.The box was damaged but the hitch did not have a scratch.The instructions were very clear and to the point. The rear tow hitch on the right rear was replaced on the left rear side due to the welded tab on the trailer hitch.The cutting of the undercarriage plastic was simple. Highly recommended the product.

Not a single issue, works great.



by:

I'm rating the Trailer Hitch receiver as a 5 because the instructions were excellent, it installed smoothly, and it looks and works great. My one concern is the shipping container (see attached picture) was badly damaged (and even partially open) when I received it. The product wasn't damaged but since the T-One wiring harness was inside the same box as the receiver, it could have fallen out. All turned out well but just thought you should know.



by:

Nice product. Looks good on vehicle. Straight forward install. Poor packaging however! The hitch was just thrown into a cardboard box without any bubble wrap, styrofoam, etc. when I received the hitch, the box had been busted open for obvious reasons.

Works just as a hitch should. No complaints.



by:

The 2" trailer hitch (Item #e98844) for my 2019 Toyota Highlander came just as advertised on the etrailer site. Also, the installation video on the site was spot on and very helpful.



by:

Great quality and fast shipping. I needed a trailer hitch for an upcoming trip and thought I waited to long to order one for it to arrive in time. But I was wrong. Came in a three days later and took me about an hour to install. Smooth process and great company to buy from.



by:

Hitch fit perfect. Extremely good communication on processing from the order to shipment arrival. I am very pleased with my experience at ETrailer and have already told many people about this company.



by:

The product was great, however, the shipping information was incorrect. It was supposed to take one day and it took 2 days which caused me some problems on the back end.

Our hitch is still working great! We’ve used it with our bike trailer and taken it on long highway trips and have had no issues. It’s easy to install. It securely holds our bike trailer carrying a heavy e-bike and a regular mountain bike. I’d highly recommend this product!



by:

Installation was easy. The holes lined up and the bolts threaded properly. I was concerned for a few minutes when trying to raise the spare tire back to its storage position under the vehicle. Then I realized I needed to start it on an angle with the back side of the spare above the receiver. This would be a helpful note to include in the instructions.



by:

Pretty much spot on how they rated the difficulty of installing it. The directions were great. I did it myself. I’ve only used it for my bike rack that holds 2 electric bikes (65 pounds each) and it has worked out well. This isn’t the first thing I’ve bought from Etrailer and it won’t be my last. Keep up the good work Etrailer!



by:

Hitch arrived in a timely fashion packaged in a double wall box with handles that made carrying very easy. There were a few rips in the box but the hitch looked fine. Had a local repair shop install it which took 30 minutes. The matte finish you recommended matches the rear bumber and looks great! Saris bike rack bolted up smoothly and hitch provides clearance for power tailgate and bikes. Extremely pleased!!

@MarkT That is great to hear Mark! I saw your photos of it on the vehicle and that is exactly why I always recommend the matte finish. SO many vehicles now have that color on their vehicle and it just looks so much nicer. How often do you use it and get out and bike?

  • How to Determine Correct Trailer Wiring Harness for 2019 Toyota Highlander
    Take a look at the rear of your 2019 Toyota Highlander in the spare tire compartment. You should be able to find a white connector like you see on the right hand side of the picture I've attached. If there is nothing plugged into that connector then you don't have the tow package. If there is something plugged into it, it should be a wiring harness with a converter (like is shown) which means you do have the tow package. If you do have the tow package I recommend the Hopkins harness,...

  • Will The etrailer Hitch e98844 Work On A 2017 Toyota Highlander With The Attached Spare Tire?
    Hey Ming, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98844 is exactly the hitch you need for your 2017 Toyota Highlander. It will work with a full size spare as long as it's not on an aluminum rim, so as long as you are sure the rim isn't aluminum you'll be good to go and the hitch will work great for you. I've attached a picture showing the hitch installed with the spare tire. What will you be using the hitch for?

  • Is Trailer Wiring Included With A Trailer Hitch For A 2017 Toyota Highlander SE
    Hi Nhia, The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98844 is not going to come with trailer wiring so you will need to purchase it separately. For your 2017 Highlander SE I recommend the Curt # 56042 if you have the factory tow package; for non-tow package models you'll need the Tekonsha # 118449 instead. If you plan on towing a trailer with electric brakes then you'll need to go with the Tekonsha # 22119 instead for a 7-way and would also need a brake controller.

    Hey Will, the etrailer hitch part # e98844 would be a great option for your 2017 Toyota Highlander for a 2 inch hitch with plenty of capacity. Then for trailer wiring the Tekonsha part # 118449 is the way to go as well as we have found they install the easiest and have most reliable converter box. This is a plug and play install like you are looking for as well. What are you planning on towing?

The tongue weight (TW) should not exceed 9-10 percent of this, so around 200 lbs. Vehicles with a 2.7L L4 engine are limited to 1,500 lbs instead.

    If your only purpose for the hitch is a bike carrier, I would narrow down your choices to two hitches. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13200 and etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98844. Both are solid options that provide the same 2" of clearance from the top of the receiver to the farthest point of the bumper on your 2014 Toyota Highlander. Both provide a low profile, hidden appearance and so the key difference is for preference for the matte finish of the etrailer hitch or...

  • Towing Capacities of 2018 Toyota Highlander based on Options
    I did some research on the towing capacities of the 2018 Toyota Highlander and it looks like only the LE model with the 2.7 liter engine is limited to 1,500 lbs of trailer weight whereas the other models with the larger 3.5 liter engine can tow up to 5,000 lbs regardless of if it came with the factory hitch or not. If it's a hybrid the capacity is 3,500 lbs. So the first thing you'd need is a hitch like the etrailer part # e98844 which has a 5,000 lb towing capacity. Then for trailer...

    Hey Howard! I would be happy to compare these hitches for your 2019 Toyota Highlander. The Curt # C13200 and etrailer # e98844 share the same design so the only difference is the finish. I prefer the matte black finish on our hitch since it does a better job hiding dirt and tends to blend well with OEM trim. The Trailer Mate Trailer Hitch Receiver # TMT39FR has a very similar design but there are a few key differences. The most noticeable is the lower capacity. This has a max gross trailer...

    Basically what it boils down to is that if you have the tow package you'll already have a 4-Way trailer wiring connector on your 2019 Toyota Highlander so if you don't already have one odds are you need a wiring kit with the converter like the Curt # C56217, Tekonsha # 118449, or Hopkins # HM11141845. The other way to tell is to check and see if there is already a converter on the wiring harness in the rear hatch area. If you check out the attached picture you can get an idea of where...
