Rugged, Matte Black Finish

The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

For a Caddy XT5, fits perfect. No adjustments to exhaust or trim needed. Need good coordination and yoga moves for a 1-person install; but a floor jack helped hold it in place.



by:

I haven’t had it installed yet so I may change this review. The box came torn open. The hitch itself is completely scratched up as if it was used or returned. I thought I was buying a new part and for the money I had to spend, it should not be scratched. I included photos but the limit was 3 and I have 4. I’m not very happy considering this was an early present for my son.



by:

Our purchased custom fit hitch receiver was truly “custom fit”. It was easy to install on our SUV to haul two electric bikes and works perfectly!



by:
2025 CadillacXT5

Took about an hour single-handed. Used floor jack to support hitch while maneuvering in place. best to remove screws holding under-bumper facia holding the hands-free light projector to allow room for the hitch to pass by. Perfect fit. etrailer videos rock.



by:

The install of this trailer hitch receiver took about one hour. I have an advantage as I have a 4 post lift in my second garage, this made the access to the rear of my vehicle quite simple. I did need the second pair of hands, my wife was glad to help with this install.



by:
2024 CadillacXT5

Installation was a breeze. I'm 72 so it took me 10 minutes longer. Thanks for all your advice.



by:

Was absolutely an easy install. The online video was extremely helpful and provided all the information necessary for the install.



by:

Delivery was fast and on time as promised! Installation videos and instructions were spot on. Would highly recommend!



by:

The trailer hitch and bike rack arrived very quickly, and is of excellent quality. Great pricing, excellent quality and speedy shipping - I’m glad I ordered from etrailer.



by:

Great product, easy installation, outstanding support from everyone I worked with.

Took me about an hour and the help of my son and son in law to get it done, but it saved me $800 from the dealer’s quote. 2 people could have done it, but 2 to hold the hitch up until I got the bolts started really made it easy. The wiring adapter took less than 5minutes and has worked perfectly.

I will use etrailer again.



by:

Perfect fit, easy installation. Website video helped.



by:
2024 CadillacXT5

Well constructed and instructed design. Took less than 35 minutes and my grandson assisted. I especially liked the fishwire system.



by:
2023 CadillacXT5

Quality of the receiver was better than I expected. Material throughout is 1/4 inch and the welds are laid well too, like their welder knows what they’re doing. Feels really well built with really durable textured powder coating. Installation was simple, took me 15 minutes after watching the installation video. Receiver is tucked away nicely behind the factory bumper cover when not in use. Highly recommend this receiver to anyone on the fence with deciding to purchase.



by:
2021 CadillacXT5

Haven't used hitch yet but ordering was easy and the installation was a breeze, thanks to great design and fantastic installation video.



by:
2024 CadillacXT5

The product looks great, but the shipping box was BAD, the hitch was not secured in the box so it flopped around inside and made a large hole in the side of the box and ripped open the bolt package. We had loose nuts and bolts floating around inside and easily could have lost some out the two handle holes or the hole that was made by the hitch flopping around. The hitch MUST be secured inside the box.



by:

Paul at the store was very knowledgeable and attentive to what I needed. The hitch was received on time and emails were sent to me keeping me alert on delivery information. I am extremely happy with your company and with Paul.



by:

Receiver arrived just as specified in a speedy fashion. Installed easily.



by:

The hitch and the hardware look great.



by:

Fit perfect on my xt5. Love the wire bolt chasers. Great idea. They really work well



by:

works great, easy to install



by:

Seriously impressed with the ease of installation! Comes with wire to fish the mounting bolts through the frame rail. Installed very nicely in my 2018 Cadillac XT5.



by:
2022 CadillacXT5

As always, very robust, fast install, and great instructions.



by:

Designed to fit perfectly. 10 minute install. Takes 2 people to lift into place, just tighten into place.

Great fit and good value.

  • Parts Included With etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e62AR for a 2022 Cadillac XT5
    Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e62AR will include the 6 fish wires to install the six 7/16" carriage bolts and square hole spacers. I recommend installing either the Tekonsha 4-Way Flat # 118720 or 7-Way # 118276 when you install the receiver on your 2022 Cadillac XT5. These will connect to the factory wiring and allow you to connect different trailers. The 4-way will work on most small trailers while the 7-way will be needed on larger trailers which use electric brakes. The...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For a 2023 Cadillac XT5
    I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e62AR for your 2003 Cadillac XT5. This receiver is custom fit to conceal itself behind the factory removable panel. You have the option of the 4-Way Harness # 118720 or 7-Way Harness # 118276. Both will connect to the factory connectors on your XT5. You will need the Mounting Brackets # 18140 and # 18144 to secure the 4-way to the receiver. Or the Mounting Brackets # 18140 and # PK12711U for the 7-way harness.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit for 2018 Cadillac XT5
    A trailer hitch from a 2013 Cadillac SRX will not fit your 2018 Cadillac XT5, which means you will need a new hitch. The hitch I recommend for your 2018 Cadillac XT5 is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e62AR. I like this hitch above the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13285 because the Draw-Tite has slightly better ground clearance than the Curt, which is important to keep things like accessories from hitting the ground. I have added a photo showing with this hitch looks like on a 2018 XT5...

    Thanks for the pictures! I have a solution for you but there is a couple of issues with using the Inno Tire Hold bike rack. The hitch pin hole on the etrailer item # e62AR hitch for your 2017 Cadillac XT5 sits pretty far back from the edge of your bumper at 6". I would not recommend using the Inno Tire Hold Bike Rack for 1 Bike - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches item # INH110 because of the lack of clearance.

  • Installing etrailer Trailer Hitch # e62AR on 2018 Cadillac XT5
    When installing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e62AR, which is confirmed to fit your 2018 Cadillac XT5, you will want to use the included pull wire to feed the carriage bolts and spacers into the frame rails. Leaving the pull wires attached, you will then feed the carriage bolts through the bracket holes and raise the hitch into position. At this point you can remove the pull wires and loosely install the hex nuts and conical washers to the hitch. I definitely recommend having an...

  • Can I Install a Wiring Harness on my 2017 Cadillac XT5 Without Having to Splice Wires
    Yes, there is an exterior connector for the trailer wiring harness. Tekonsha has a Wiring Harness for your 2017 Cadillac XT5, part # 118720, that will provide a 4-way trailer connector for you. If you already have a trailer hitch installed, like part # e62AR, the connection that you will be looking for is just up and to the driver's side of your 2017 Cadillac XT5. Just connect the wiring harness that I mentioned earlier and you are good to go! I linked installation videos of the trailer...

  • Is Splicing Required To Install a Trailer Wiring Harness On a 2020 Cadillac XT5
    The 2020 Cadillac XT5 has a tow package port which is located behind the rear bumper fascia. Therefore, you can use a plug-in-play wiring harness which does not require any wire splicing or cutting. I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118720 if you need a 4-way or part # 118276 if you need a 7-way. The 7-way would be needed if the trailer has brakes and in which case you would also need a brake controller. I recommend the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part #...

    I have a way you can install a receiver on your 2017 Cadillac XT5 as currently the only custom fit trailer hitch receivers available will not fit the Platinum trim. To use the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e62AR on your XT5 you will need to swap out the Platinum lower trim panel for one of the removable trim panels found on the other models of the XT5. You will need to contact a dealer for these parts new or check with local salvage yards for the parts you need. The T-One Vehicle...

  • Best Trailer Hitch Receiver and Vehicle Wiring Harness For a 2024 Cadillac XT5
    I recommend our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e62AR as the best option for your 2024 Cadillac XT5. Our receiver will fit behind the removable factory cutout in your rear fascia. For the wiring we have a 4-Way # C56325 or 7-Way # C56326 connector. If in doubt it is best to go with the 7-way as you will be able to use an Adapter # PK12716 to go down to a 4-way connection. You will need a Mounting Bracket # C67UR to secure the end of the 7-way.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2023 Cadillac XT5
    For your 2023 Cadillac XT5 we have the etrailer hitch part # e62AR as a confirmed fit that would work great to carry your bike rack like our very easy to use Hollywood Racks Trail Rider part # HR200Z. It's a 2-inch hitch (the most popular size) that has great weight capacities and is mostly hidden since it sits behind the rear bumper fascia panel. It also has an attractive matte black finish on the portion that does shoe. It also installs very easy as well.

  • Which etrailer Hitch Fits 2019 Cadillac XT4
    The only hitch that we have, as of June 2023, that fits your 2019 Cadillac XT4 is the Curt part # C39FR. The etrailer hitch that you asked about, # e62AR, actually fits the XT5 models so it would not work for you. If you were looking for trailer wiring too the Tekonsha kit part # 118795 is what I recommend as it installs very easily without requiring any splicing.
