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.

This was a easy an install as I've ever had it took me longer to drop the spare tire than it did to bolt up the hitch and that includes clamping the rear bumper. It blends in with the bumpercolor great! Would absolutely recommend this and it showed up a day early

after a year I have used this almost constantly I am very satisfied with the solidness of the hitch it still looks new



by:
2020FordRanger

I ordered 2 days ago and installed it today. After watching the video the installation was very easy. I'm 67 years old and did it by myself in less that 20 minutes. I used two visegrips to hold the bumper on and a jack stand to hold up one end while I bolted the opposite end. The hardest part was trying to generate the 196 ft lbs to torque the bolts. GreT service with great products.

@JohnC That's great to hear! Thanks for the feedback!

Seems good quality and very easy to install, but the hitch had Marks and scratches like if it was installed and then returned.

I can see what you mean about the scratches in the photos you sent. I used to work in the Returns Department here at etrailer, and I can assure you that this hitch has not been previously installed. There would be very deep grooves from lock washers and hardware. But your hitch is still scratched up! I will send your information to our customer service team and have them contact you about what can be done.



by:

Great hitch. Arrived on time, very easy to install. It took about 30 minutes with the help of my neighbor. I highly recommended etrailer.



by:

Peyton verified what I needed and it was sent out the same day, even arrived by UPS a day early. I saw it took most people 30 minutes to install, me, 3 hours. Spent 2 1/2 of those hours at Home Depot buying a breaker bar for the bumper bolts. Actual time was about 30 minutes. Matte finished matched the rear bumper perfectly.



by:

Hitch appears to be similar in quality to more well known names. Instructions were easy to follow and took about 15 mins to install. The hitch receiver arrived with some scuffs, even though it was well packaged. No affect on the performance just odd since it's brand new. Time will tell if the finish holds up.

Im sorry to see that your hitch has received some scratches on it due to shipping. This does tend to happen and when it does, we recommend using a Rust-oleum type paint to cover up any scratches and prevent corrosion in the future during use. I have a link below for your reference. I have also sent this information over to our Customer Service Department for them to get into contact with you.

Solid product, finish is holding up well and I would purchase again.



by:

Product is geeat. Got on your website to get install video.no issues, except factory installer at Ford over tightened the 4 bolts and they were hard to get loose. I followed your instructions that came with hitch for torque setting. Thanks



by:

Ordered on Sunday, arrived on Wednesday. Installation went just as shown in the video. I did by myself and used two 5 gallon buckets to hold the hitch while I bolted it up. I did have to loosen the spare tire and move it forward an inch or so so it wouldn’t rub on the hitch.

Package was full of staples where holes in the cardboard occur and taped together where the box was ripped. Contents were in excellent condition dispute the above issues



by:
2020FordRanger

I assume this is almost identical to several competing products, except for having a matte finish which I think most would prefer to gloss. It's at the right price, and quick delivery. Very easy to install if you have the right tools.



by:
FordRanger

The hitch is as described and as expected. It went on my Ranger easier than expected. Four bolts and was a breeze. Is manufactured to accommodate the vehicle. It was also received a couple days earlier than expected or promised.
Thanks again for the good product and service.



by:

High quality unit that fit right in with no issues. Use a breaker bar with 1/2" head and 13/16" deep socket to easily achieve the 196 ft-lbs for the 4 bolts. That's all there is to it. Clamp the bumper, remove all 4 bolts, place hitch underneath, replace 4 bolts and torque to 196 ft-lbs - which is about a 2-handed, full body lean with a standard breaker bar that is about 12" long. I used red loctite on 2 of the 4 bolts and I could tell the difference so I recommend using the loctite - the 2 bolts with loctite felt smoother on the bar.



by:

quality made and a snap to install



by:

Quality piece, thick gauge steel with strong neat welds. The matte finish powder coat has a slight texture to it that looks really great.

Greg G.

The hitch is really holding up well after one year of use. the powder coat finish still looks great with no rust.

This is the 4th trailer hitch I have bought from etrailer, this one by far was the easiest to install. I was able to get it installed in 20 minutes on my own. The installation did not require me to take the whole bumper apart as I would have had to do if I purchased a trailer hitch from Ford.



by:

Easy installation, worked out well.

Trailer hitch fit the Ranger pickup and it is heavy enough to do its job. Good buy!

I watched the video on how to install and it was perfect and the hitch fit perfect. It took me about 1/2 hr to install by myself. Would probably have taken a lot less tome if I would have had some hold it up while putting the bolds in
Thank you for your excellent video and perfect merchandise

  • Which Hitch Receiver Fits My 2019 Ford Ranger?
    We have two hitches for your 2019 Ford Ranger. We have the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e63ZR with a matte black finish and the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13417 with a glossy black finish. These hitches are confirmed to fit all models of 2019 Ranger. I went ahead and attached the comparison video for you again. The Draw-tite hitch in the video is no longer available.

  • Does the Spare Tire Need Lowered To Install etrailer Hitch On 2020 Ford Ranger
    In regard to the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e63ZR which is a fit for a 2020 Ford Ranger, the instructions do not require the lowing of your spare tire to install this hitch. We sometimes do this when making videos to give our viewers a better picture of what is being done. To do this, I use a spare tire removal tool that comes in a kit with different ones for the major manufactures such as Ford, GM, and Chrysler. I really wouldn't recommend obtaining this unless you worked...

    The main difference between the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e63ZR and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13417 for a 2021 Ford Ranger is the finishes on the hitches. The etrailer hitch has a modern matte black finish and the Curt hitch has a more traditional glossy black finish. Check out the installation video that I have attached for you.

  • Parts Needed to Install Redarc Tow Pro Liberty on 2021 Ford Ranger without 7-Way
    To install the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty # RED24FR in your 2021 Ford Ranger that does not have the factory 7-way you'd need the 7-way adapter and brake controller install kit # ETBC7 and you'd have that covered. Normally you'd need the universal wiring kit # RED69FR too but you may have wiring already. Then for trailer hitch we have the etrailer Trailer Hitch part # e63ZR which has a trailer towing capacity of 6,000 lbs or 8,000 pounds with used with weight distribution.

  • Tips for Removing Bolts of 2019 Ford Ranger to Install etrailer Hitch
    You shouldn't have any problems getting the install bolts of your 2019 Ford Ranger to break free so that you can install the etrailer hitch # e63ZR. One trick I personally have used is to spray the bolts with WD40 or other penetrating oil about a week before you plan to do the install and by the time you go to install the hitch the bolts will be easy to work with. We do not have specific installers we've worked with in your area but typically it's best to find someone with a solid reputation...

    Yes, we do have a hitch for a 2023 Ford Ranger. It is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver item # e63ZR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Ranger with included hardware. I really like the etrailer hitch because it has a matte black powder coat finish which not only offers better rust protection but it helps the hitch blend in below your bumper and trim. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 6,000 lbs towing capacity, and a 900 lbs maximum tongue weight. This...

    The Curt and etrailer trailer hitches that fit your 2019 Ford Ranger are very similar, with the biggest difference being the finish.

  • Trailer Hitch, 7-Way, and Brake Controller for 2020 Ford Ranger without Tow Package
    For your 2020 Ford Ranger the Detrailer hitch part # e63ZR is a really great option with more than enough towing capacity and is mostly hidden as well. The 7-way kit part # C56431 is also the correct kit to add 7-way to your truck and then the # HM48625 is the correct kit to secure it. If the trailer you planned to tow has brakes you would need a brake controller to activate them too like with the Curt Echo Mobile # C51180 which basically just plugs into an active 7-way and once synced...

  • Can Any Hitch be Used for Towing with a 2022 Ford Ranger
    According to the 2022 Ford Towing Guide if your 2022 Ford Ranger has the 53R towing package then you can tow up to 7,500 lbs. To meet the full towing potential, you could either use the Curt Hitch # C13417 for the etrailer hitch # e63ZR along with weight distribution. The weight distribution will increase the 6,000 pound capacities of this hitches to 8,0000 pounds which is more than your Ranger allows. Without the 53R tow package it looks like Ford calls out a 3,500 lb towing weight...

    I have a great hitch for you but I checked with our vendors and no one makes a hitch that attaches to the bumper on the 2022 Ford Ranger with or without the Tremor Package. I took a look at Ford's website and they do not list one either just an overly complicated frame mounted one. I recommend using the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver item # e63ZR.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring Harness For 2019 Ford Ranger To Tow Boat Trailer
    I would be happy to help! For your 2019 Ford Ranger you will need a trailer hitch receiver, a 4-way connector, and then a 4-way to 5-way adapter as a 5-way connector is the most common connector used on a boat trailer. Since you mentioned wanting a etrailer Trailer Hitch you will need the # e63ZR which has a 900 lb tongue weight rating and 6000 lb trailer weight rating making it a perfect option for towing your boat.

  • Will The Curt Or etrailer Hitch Maximize My 2021 Ford Rangers Towing Capacity?
    You are not necessarily incorrect about your 2021 Ford Ranger being limited to 3,500 pounds, but there is a caveat to this. The 3,500 pound tow rated is only when you are using the bumper as a hitch. I included a picture showing what I mean by that as well. When using a conventional hitch, like the Curt # C13417 or etrailer # e63ZR, you are looking at a maximum towing capacity of 7,500 pounds. This means you also have 750 pounds of tongue weight and will indeed have a lot more options for...

The hitch itself carries a 5000 lb capacity, which could be limited by the capacity of the bumper which might be less (contact your local Ford dealer for exact bumper capacity).
