Rugged, Matte Black Finish

This is a great hitch and awesome service/communication from e-trailer. I’d buy again from them. Only noteworthy consideration is—after installation on a traverse RS FWD, it sticks out a hair further than it should which makes the panel that covers the hitch (plastic) have to slightly bend to reinstall. Once installed, the panel stays kn like it should; however, not sure how long it’ll last without cracking with heat/cold and/or on/off cycles.



by:

Great product. Needed a hitch receiver for a cargo box.

The installation was easy and straightforward. The product is significantly better quality than the bar it replaced.

Highly recommend



by:

Great item for what I need. The packaging needs to be improved. So that it will take more rough handling during the shipping process. The hitch was hanging out of the heavy cardboard box. When I received said item. The item was not damaged. The trailer hitch is heavy duty and great quality control.



by:

After a couple of misfires with Amazon I gave up and ordered from etrailer and got EXACTLY what I needed. The receiver and hardware fit perfectly. I actually saved a lot of time by skipping the fish wire step and put the hardware in place on the receiver before I slid it into place on the car. No issues whatsoever. I will definitely deal with etrailer again for any future needs.
Thanks!

Right now it's a 1 star.... Google packaging job... Shipped in oversized box with no packing inside... Box came torn apart, powder coating gouged to exposed steel... Between ups and e trailer, just sub par in my opinion. Let's see how good their customer service responds???

You will need to get some rustoleum type of paint to cover that exposed steel. Our customer service will be more than happy to assist you in getting this corrected.

2019 ChevroletTraverse

I installed the hitch on a 2019 Traverse, it is a good quality but I gave it 3 stars because I couldn’t get the hitch to sit flush against the body of the vehicle after tightening the frame bolts. Loose it fit great but the farthest frame hole was about 1/4in too small and it was jamming the bolt when I tried to put the hitch in place.

I can see from the pictures where it was not flush and what I think has happened here is that the side brackets were flexed out of alignment. It is not uncommon for this to happen when the hitches are shipped to us or to you. I do have a FAQ that can help with the installation.



by:

Excellent quality trailer hitch! Priced very reasonable. Easy installation and fits perfectly. Very happy and satisfied with my purchase!



by:
2018 ChevroletTraverse

What a solid product.
Box came delivered
perfectly. Item came carefully wrapped with all parts easy to find and accounted for.
Watched the video provided by eTrailer.com and voila -- with a few handy tools and help from a friend with a couple of the heavy pieces -- in about 2 hours we were done.
The customer service from pre-purchase to post-purchase was exceptional.
Thanks!



by:

Your packaging seems to be well known for its deficiencies. The UPS guy said they all come in damaged packaging. The product survives, but out of respect for other shippers that could suffer from damage, I would think better accommodations could be made. Maybe a tube.

We’re using it this weekend and love it. Just a bit of advice make sure to check your tire quick release every time you stop one of our bikes vibrated loose and we lost one

2020 ChevroletTraverse

I have a 2020 Traverse. The fit is 100 times better than the Draw tight. Still not a perfect fit but it works. Issues that I had to over come.
-I had to buy longer bolts for the passenger side exhaust hangers(M10x1.50 x 50).
-The install video made a suggestion to place the bolts in the hitch before you slide the legs into the body. That was a great tip. It was so much easier than fishing the wires through the hitch and body of the vehicle. The rear bolts didn't come all the way through which didn't allow for the washers to be used. To over come this I tightened the bolts down with just the nut, which pulled the bolt down. I loosened the bolt and had enough to room to add the washer and the bolt.
part of the hitch that attached where the bummer once did, didn't sit right against the body, just tighten everything down is all you can do. The legs seemed to prevent a flush finish.



by:
2022ChevroletTraverse

The box arrived opened and damaged. My wiring harness was missing. When I called to tell them my wiring harness was missing they told me that it was shipping separately but could not tell me when it would arrive. I later got an email telling me all of my items were delivered and asked me to leave a review. I still don't have my wiring harness and will not have the hitch installed by this weekend like needed because I don't know if I am ever getting my wiring harness.not to mention the box had no padding around the hitch so it's all scratched up.

It seems that they sent these parts in two different shipments. I am sorry for any confusion, but the other harness is still on its way. Once you receive the rest of your order, we would love to hear your updated feedback.

The hitch fit as it was supposed to. The installation video was very helpful.

Great product at a fair price.



by:

The fit was perfect. Diy instructions were good.I would recommend watching the etrailer installation video. Very good instructions and tips to help with installation.



by:

Delivery was fast, appears to be what I ordered however… the packaging was not good. This hitch was delivered to my garage while I was in the garage and the delivery guy was carrying the hitch over his shoulder and the box in his other hand. I’ve ordered large heavy items before and there shipping boxes were always designed for their weight and dimensions, this was not. Hopefully the hitch hasn’t been flexed and will install without any issues but it’s not looking good considering how it was delivered.

That was certainly a rough delivery! I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you in case there is any issues.



by:

Easy installation



by:

Instructions were good. The blocks supplied for the rear most frame bolts were too small. They just kept spinning.
Instructions need to point out the importance of relocating the wire harness removed from the left rear.
The video was very good and informative. It was good to have all 4 fish wires too!



by:

This is a very good product for the pri ce



by:

Excellent delivery time and communication! Well made hitch with proper welds and engineering.
The Attached video for my vehicle and hitch type was spot on! It saved me a ton of time and money.
Thanks for your work etrailer!!



by:

This is the second hitch and wiring harness I've order from you and it was just as easy to install as the first one. I especially like your "how to" videos. My only slow down was "fishing" the four bolts through the frame, turning this installation into a 2 beverage job --- but then, who's counting.

already installed, went together easily

  • Hidden Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2023 Chevy Traverse
    For your 2023 Chevy Traverse the most hidden hitch I would recommend is the etrailer # e56YR which fits behind the rear bumper panel when not in use which allows it to be totally hidden. It also has a matte finish which makes it stand out a little less and has best price. If you need trailer wiring too you'd want the Tekonsha part # 118761 which installs very easily.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Buick Enclave
    To add a hitch to your 2024 Buick Enclave, I recommend the Draw-Tite item # 76184. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Buick with included hardware. I really like the Draw-Tite hitch item # 76184 because it installs behind your rear bumper cover and can be completely hidden when you are not towing. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity and a 750 lbs maximum tongue weight. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness...

  • Does Mounting Bracket For Curt 4-Flat on 2020 Chevy Traverse Come with Holes Pre-Drilled
    Hi Dave, Yes, the Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat # 18144 does come with mounting holes pre-drilled so you can mount the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56394 on it for your 2020 Chevy Traverse. I believe that's what you were asking, but if you were asking about if the # e56YR hitch or harness has any holes, then no it does not.

  • Hidden Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2023 Buick Enclave
    For your 2023 Buick Enclave the etrailer hitch part # e56YR is your best hidden hitch option. Once installed it sits behind the rear bumper fascia panel which means that when not in use it would be totally hidden. It also has a matte finish instead of gloss which helps it blend in a little bit and has the best price too. For trailer wiring as well you'd want the Tekonsha kit part # 118761 and you'd be set. This is the easiest to install and is also a very reliable setup.

  • Is GM Tow Package Or Etrailer Tow Package Better For 2021 Chevy Traverse?
    If your 2021 Chevy Traverse has the factory tow package then it can tow up to 5,000lbs according to the online version of the owner's manual (I recommend checking your manual to verify). GM normally offers a more expensive hitch for the factory tow package and it usually does not hold up as long as aftermarket options. It looks like the factory tow package, along with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e56YR, are rated for up to 5,000lbs towing capacity and the etrailer hitch is rated...

    The etrailer # e56YR and Curt # CU29FR, are very similar. The capacity and installation process is the same. However, one of these stands apart from the others. If I had to recommend one for your 2023 Traverse it would be the etrailer # e56YR. The reason this I would choose this hitch is the matte black powder coat finish. This gives it that OEM look and allows it to blend in nicely with the bumper when the hitch panel is removed. It also does a better job hiding dirt and scratches when...

    When looking at the Curt - 2" # CU29FR and the etrailer - 2" # e56YR, the only difference is that the Curt hitch comes with a gloss outer coating over the base powder coat that provides you with superior protection against rust and corrosion. Other than this difference, the hitches are virtually the same in all other aspects. Given these differences, I recommend the Curt hitch over the etrailer hitch. To complete the setup, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Wiring Harness - 4-Way # 118761...

Aside from that these will be exactly the same for your 2022 Chevy Traverse. I recommend going with the etrailer hitch because the matte black coating will blend in better with the trim on your vehicle and do a better job at resisting damage from any road debris than the glossy finish will.

    There actually isn't a problem with the hitch, # CU29FR, for the 2018 Chevy Traverse. We have had so many more people have no problems at all than those that did so I think I can explain what happened in those 2 issues.
