Specs:
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 fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Matte black, powder coated steel is durable and corrosion resistant and creates a rugged look.Installed yesterday, 2017 Acadia. There were two of us, we both do our own auto maintenance and we have plenty of tools on hand. It took us 1.5 hours. We ran into two problems that added about 45 minutes. 1) when re-attaching one of the muffler hangers we accidently bent the little metal hanger that holds the bracket in place so you can start both hanger bolts. After 20 minutes we figured out the little hanger was bent and once we bent it back we were done in 10 minutes. 2) we used a multi tool to remove the gray seam goop but I missed some on my side. We struggled for 20 minutes to get the receiver in position until I finally saw the goop, we pulled the hanger back down and removed all the goop and everything went smoothly. Great product, very heavy duty. Amazing how easy it was to pull the bolt into position with the little wires. The kit came with 6 bolts and six wire pullers. Leave the wire pullers on the bolts until your nave the hitch receiver in position and your ready to install the nut. Remove each wire puller one at a time as you install nuts. The receiver is very heavy so we used a small hydraulic jack to hold it in place while we got everything figured out. It was not a bad project at all, I'd do it again with no hesitation.
E-trailer hitch was the perfect fit for my GMC and instructional videos really helped!
Received as promised. Great price and great service. The box was damaged but the hitch looks ok. Installing it next Monday. I will know if there is any damage to the hitch at that time.
More difficult to install than expected. Longer bolts would have helped. Fine after installation.
ETrailer’s customer service is impeccable. Easy access to real people that provide real customer service and an excellent quality product. Look no further! This is the company to work with thank you Kate F for your help
Purchased for installation on a 2021 Acadia - VERY simple minimal disassembly with the vehicle sitting on the ground. No lift required, simple hand tools with exception of a real torque wrench (rent one or buy a nice one - this is a key step for assembly safety!) Nothing seldomly goes smoothly - however based on the application, I am very satisfied with the process, the piece is solid, clean welds, snug fit, large platform and perfect for the application I am using it for. Installed alone - took my time but if I was hustling I’m sure 40 min installation would be max time.
A little challenging to install by yourself on the concrete floor, but I was able to do it. It had taken me 2hrs for installation. Product fit perfect!
Great quality and perfect fit. This is my 3rd hitch and I have always loved the ease of purchase and quality and great price too.
Very nice hitch. Was a tight fit on my 2017 GMC Acadia. Took a bit longer to DYI and definitely need a second pair of hands.
Built like a tank! Install was straight forward for 2017 Acadia. Didn’t have any issues bolting to the frame. If you watch the video this is exactly how it goes. You can’t go wrong with this hitch.
Everything fit perfectly. Quality and measurements perfectly. Thanks
Looks good 73 and installed it on the ground ,
Perfect fit! Great service and lightning fast shipping.
I would recommend it to anyone needing more space for vacation travel or when you need more space. We've used ours 3 times now and it's so easy to install and remove.
Perfect transition. Arrived in 1 day and the communication is excellent!
Install was easy. Getting the nuts started as the most difficult part, buy once one is started it's easy from there. Instructions and video made it a very simple install
Fit was very difficult to install shield needed to be cut out much more than 4 " to get flat fit against rail - front bolts did not line up on one side visible difference between weld on right side required reaming of holes and bracket to get bolt through hitch contacted mounting nuts of exhaust hanger.
Great product easy to install videos were very helpful
Great product and awesome service.
vary good

I know that this hitch is a more challenging install. It sounds like that it was possible that the side bracket were flexed out of alignment. We do have a FAQ that can help when that happens.
