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.

Great price, easy to install. Kit came with everything you need.



by:

I have not installed it yet. Everything is present and accounted for. There were a couple of places where it clawed its way thru the box. This thing is HEAVY duty. Well made, nicely finished.



by:
2022 Chevrolet Equinox

Showed up on time. Everything was just as advertised. The installation video was very helpful except......when using your finger to try and get the fish wire thru the large hole, I used a magnet wand. NO bleeding!! I'll and the photo.

everthing look



by:

The product itself fit nicely, but the Bolt Heads and Rectangle spacers did not fit in the Holes they need to go through to fish them to the mounting holes. I had to drill the holes bigger. The bolt heads needed to be smaller and the Rectangle washers needed to be narrower.

For this hitch you will need to enlarge the hole to pass the hardware through typically using a die grinder. I recommend watching the video install that we have on a 2022 Chevy Equinox and paying attention at timestamp 8:23.



by:

I will continue to be a repeat customer at etrailer!
Fit and finish are great. Installation was straightforward like other hitches I’ve purchased from e trailer in years past. The only downside is that the hole to feed the bolts and brackets in requires some widening in order to fit the hardware in. It would be nice if that weren’t the case but it only adds a little time to the otherwise simple install with hand tools.



by:

Third time I've ordered from etrailer. All 3 times I have been pleased with both the quality of the product, well made, study, and the speed of delivery. I will recommend etrailer to anyone who is looking for a great product. I ride a bicycle and use the hitch with my bike rack to transport my bike from the house to the GAP bike trail. Have done 3 trips from Washington DC to Pittsburgh as well as from other area trails and have never had a problem with the hitch or the rack which I also bought from etrailer. I order one bike more than what I plan to carry, i.e. Plan on 3 bikes, order a 4 bike rack. I am very satisfied with my purchases.



by:

Really good quality and super easy to install. It was nice to be able to watch the quick video on the website even though I’m sure I would have figured it out. I’m 68+ and easily installed without any help like they show on the video. Definitely would recommend your company to anybody looking to install a hitch.



by:

Ordering was good. The hitch arrived on time as to when they said it would arrive. The item arrived damaged. Box end was completely gone UPS had taped it up. All parts where inside.



by:
2018 Chevrolet Equinox

Hired a pro to install - even they had a tricky time with the string bolt trick. He got it done “but took longer than expected”



by:

Good quality product and easy to follow directions included. The only negative is the bag of hardware was short one coil wire needed to install the bolts. This made for an interesting challenge, but with some extra efforts I finally succeeded. The hitch quality appears to be very good.



by:
2022 Chevrolet Equinox

Nice looking. Installer said it was easy to install and heavy duty. He recommends etrailer to his customer's.



by:

Works great and sturdy



by:

Love my new hitch. Pure durable quality. Took me little over an hour to install. American made. Yay!



by:

Perfect fit. Two person job to lift into place at home - but straightforward install



by:

Perfect fitment. Easy install.



by: 06/27/2022

Great product bolted up easy no issues with fitment came super quick super happy.

Excellent product
Will recommend to
others.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2024 GMC Terrain
    To add a hitch to your 2024 GMC Terrain, I recommend the Curt item # C77FR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your GMC with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 4,500 lbs towing capacity and a 675 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like the Curt hitch item # C77FR because the crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper cover leaving only the 2" receiver exposed. This not only looks better but it helps with ground clearance. If you are planning on...

  • Comparing etrailer & Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receivers for 2022 Chevy Equinox
    There is very little actual difference between the two trailer hitch receivers that fit your 2022 Chevy Equinox (non-diesel model), which are the following part numbers: - Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76419 - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e59ZR The biggest difference is actually in the installation, with the Draw-Tite not requiring you to enlarge the access holes in the frame rail to get the hardware through to install, an extra step the Curt hitch requires.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Chevy Equinox
    The best hitch for your 2023 Chevy Equinox is going to be the etrailer Hitch item # e59ZR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Chevy with included hardware. I really like the etrailer hitch because crosstube installs behind your rear bumper cover and can be completely hidden when you are not towing. The etrailer Hitch item # e59ZR is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 4,500 lbs towing capacity, and a 675 lbs maximum tongue weight. This hitch can be used with a weight...

  • Recommended Hitch and Installation Video for a 2023 Chevy Equinox
    Yes, we do and I have attached it below. The etrailer Hitch item # e59ZR is confirmed to fit the 2023 Equinox. It bolts to your vehicle with included hardware. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C94FR if you have the factory tow package or item # 119250KIT if you do not and a ball mount kit item # C45534. I also recommend using the No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136 and the item # C42CR to secure the 4-way connector to your hitch. This will put...

  • 2023 Chevrolet Equinox Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for Towing a U-Haul Trailer
    We installed all of these hitches on the same 2023 Chevy equinox and found the ground and bumper clearances to be 11" and 5" respectively so I recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e59ZR because of the black matte finish. I had the etrailer hitch installed on my 2010 Chevy Equinox and that finish not only did a great job at protecting the steel from road debris, but it also looked great with the darker bumper - so you'll be getting great looks and durability with this...

  • Does 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness w/ Tow Package Come With Hitch For 2022 Chevy Equinox
    The 4-way trailer wiring harness does not come with the etrailer hitch that fits your 2022 Chevy Equinox, so you would need to get that separately. For the hitch and harness that fits your Equinox you will need the following: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e59ZR - Vehicle Wiring Harness # C94FR

  • 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness For 2023 Chevy Equinox Premier With Plug Under Bumper
    Appreciate that info, and the correct trailer wiring harness for your 2023 Chevy Equinox Premier with the plug underneath the bumper is the following: - Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C94FR I went ahead and verified this fit directly with the manufacturer for you. This'll get your trailer lights up and running so you can tow with a hitch that fits your '23 Equinox like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e59ZR.

  • Do You Recommend the C77FR or the e59ZR Hitch for My 2022 GMC Terrain?
    If you are stuck between choosing the Curt - 2" # C77FR or the etrailer Hitch - 2" # e59ZR, I recommend going with the Curt # C77FR. The Curt hitch not only provides you with more overall weight capacity (675 of maximum tongue weight and 4,500 pounds of gross towing weight), it also comes with a superior exterior gloss coating over the base powder coat that will ultimately provide you with more rust and corrosion resistance over the etrailer hitch. As far as the consideration for bumper...

  • Wiring Harness for a 2022 GMC Terrain w/ out the Factory Towing Package
    Since your 2022 GMC Terrain does not have the factory tow package you will want the Upgraded Heavy Duty ModuLite Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness with Installation Kit # C59496. I have linked an installation video below. I can also confirm that the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver item # e59ZR does fit your Terrain. It is custom fit and bolts directly to your vehicle with included hardware. To round out your towing setup I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches...

    For your 2024 GMC Terrain we have the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e59ZR. This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver and a bolt-on installation. It also features a matte black powder coat finish and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. For wiring, you can use the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C94FR. This plugs into the connection point you found behind your rear bumper. This will give you way to power your trailer's signal lights. To complete your setup you will...

  • Recommend Trailer Hitch For Humid Climate For A 2022 Chevrolet Equinox
    Metal corrodes at much greater rate under humid conditions. This happens because moisture-saturated air reacts with oxygen and electrons on the surface of the metal. Our Trailer hitches have a rust resistant paint on them that will help prevent rust from happening for a longer time then most other hitches out there. The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e59ZR has an extra coating of rust resistant paint which will allow it last longer then all the other hitches that are confirmed for your...

  • Parts Needed For Towing a Utility Trailer With a 2024 GMC Terrain
    First you will need our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e59ZR for your 2024 GMC Terrain. This receiver has a 2" opening and will accept our Ball Mount Kit # EBMK4. This will allow you to place either a 1-7/8" or 2" hitch ball on the included ball mount. The Powered Tail Light Converter # C59496 will allow you to wire in a 4-way flat connector. This is the most common connector found on most small utility trailers you might tow.

  • Is There a Hidden Receiver Available for a 2023 Chevrolet Equinox Which Fits Behind Factory Cover?
    Currently the only receivers we carry for your 2023 Chevrolet Equinox are designed to exit under the rear bumper fascia like our etrailer Receiver # e59ZR. The only way I see a receiver available which hides entirely behind the rear fascia cover is on the factory option which you have to get directly from Chevrolet. We do have the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C94FR which will allow you to connect to your factory wiring and provide you with a 4-way flat connector.

  • Do Trailer Hitch Bolts For a 2024 Chevy Equinox Need to Have Loctite Applied to Them
    Hey Michael, thanks for reaching out! The vast majority of trailer hitches, like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e59ZR for your dad's 2024 Chevy Equinox, don't require any Loctite on them. Unless the instructions specifically call for Loctite you'll just torque the bolts to specs and be good to go!
