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.
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.


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.

It looks great on the vehicle and wasn't difficult to install. We need to get the wiring installed and we will be in business. It got here in a timely. Manner packaged well, thank your team we appreciate everything.
The hitch was delivered in 2 days. I installed it in an hour. I like that it's a tubular bar instead of the usual block of metal. Also liked the fact that it's bolt on using existing fittings instead of drilling new holes or welding. You have the choice of removing or modifying the plastic cover on the driver side so it fits. Only had to cut out about a 1 inch wide strip from the plastic to modify it so still able to use the cover as intended.
The other nice fitment is that it only protrudes past the bumper by about an inch tops. So walking into it not really an issue.
Have no intention of towing anything but wanted a nice hitch for a lateral bike rack instead of hanging them on the vehicle door. This hitch will work nicely while looking good. I highly recommend the custom hitch.
The hitch fit perfectly on my 2015 High lander.
Fit like a glove on my 2019 Highlander SE. Installed by myself. Just dropped the spare tire, took the hitch out the box and placed the box under my car. Then placed the hitch on top of the box and placed some cornhole bags under the drivers side to raise it up. I then lifted the passenger side up first and got one bolt in, then moved to drivers side and lifted it up to get one bolt in. from there I was able ot get all the bolts in the get them to 86lbs with a torque wrench. You do not need to make any cuts to the passenger side plastic cover as it will go back on with the hitch installed. I did not cut the drivers side pastic piece as much as they did in the installation video. It looked to be a bit much in the video. I was able to make a cut to fit the hitch and still use all the bolts to attach the plastic cover. I uploaded pics of the install. I really like the flat black look as it matches my bumper perfect. I cold have went with them OEM Toyota Hitch but honestly I do not like the hitch poking out the bumper an additional 4 inches as the OEM one does. I think this one looks clean and is a fair price. Toyota wanted 650.00 to install a Curt hitch with a 7 pin harness. I can do that for less than half the price. They also wanted 1200.00 to install factory hitch with 7 pin harness. Thank you etrailer.
Let's say a pandemic sweeps the world and you find yourself thinking, "You know...I'm going to drive to my remote vacation destination that happens to be about 3 U.S. states away, instead of fly!" Then, your wife wants to take the 2015 Highlander instead of the pick-up truck and you think, "How are we going to fit all our stuff in that, plus the entire family, and the animals?".
This solution worked out very well. The weekend before vacation, I followed the great video instructions and installed this fairly easily, with a little help from a skateboard "wingman" as you'll see in the picture. (If it helps your decision, I'm a computer nerd by trade, not an auto mechanic, although I'm not afraid to try mechanical stuff.) The bolts and holes lined up perfectly.
I highly recommend this hitch receiver. (I'm going to add a review for the rack you see in the picture also.)
Couldn't be happier with my purchase. I had it installed at U-haul and have been towing a Kuat 3 bike rack assembly. Was initially wary that the receiver would throw off the weight balance on my car, especially when driving through snowy conditions and on snow (I live in the Pacific North West and drive through a mountain pass to get to my local ski resort every weekend), but that hasn't been an issue so far.
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.
Use this to install in my 2016 Toyota Highlander to tow my Travel Trailer; works like a dream!
Love the company and the customer servi ce
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.
Solid hitch! Love the paint on it, it should last longer than I will own the vehicle.
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.
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!
I am very pleased with my purchase.The etrailer hitch is a perfect fit for my 2015 Toyota Highlander. This company went above and beyond to assist me with finding a location to install it.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

The hitch and wiring harness work great. They look like OEM. Installation instructions were very helpful!
So far, our etrailer is working out great! It was relatively easy to install and it fit our bike rack perfectly.

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!
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.
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!
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!!

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.
