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.

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack/Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2020 Ford Transit Connect
    Hey Pam, thanks for reaching out to us! I recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e77AR for your 2020 Ford Transit Connect because it has a matte black finish that is more durable than the standard glossy black finish on other hitches, and the receiver sits about flush with the rear bumper so you'll have to literally be hugging your Transit to get injured by the receiver (see attached photo). Then for a carrier it sounds like you're wanting something like the Flint...

    I am happy to confirm that the 2019 Ford Transit Connect is compatible with both etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver item # e77AR and the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness item # 118613. I have linked videos below for both. To round out your towing setup I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534.

  • Curt Trailer Hitch vs. etrailer Trailer Hitch For 2023 Ford Transit Connect
    There is just a single difference between the Curt and etrailer trailer hitches that fit your 2023 Ford Transit Connect, which is the finish. The Curt has a glossier finish than the matte black finish of the etrailer hitch, so you can choose which you prefer. The hitches that fit your '23 Ford Transit Connect are the following part numbers: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e77AR - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13167 The matte black finish is nice as it hides the inevitable dings,...

  • Parts Needed For Towing a Trailer With a 2016 Ford Transit Connect Titanium LWB
    According to the owners manual for your 2016 Ford Transit Connect Titanium LWB you have a maximum towing capacity of 2,000lbs with or without trailer brakes. You will also need to ensure the added tongue weight does not cause your Transit to exceed either the rear axle weight capacity or GVWR. I recommend using the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e77AR as the 2" receiver allows for a wider selection of ball mounts and hitch mounted accessories. This receiver has a matte black finish...

  • Is etrailer Trailer Hitch a Good Option for a 2019 Ford Transit Connect
    Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e77AR is a great option for your 2019 Ford Transit Connect because it has a matte black finish that blends in with any black trim on your vehicle plus it does a better job at hiding any scratches from road debris than what we find with the glossy finish. Attached is an installation video as well as a photo showing this installed on a 2019 Transit Connect for you to check out.
