This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your Toyota Tacoma's frame with no welding required. Matte black, powder coated steel is durable and corrosion resistant and creates a rugged look.
Features:
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.
At etrailer we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers.

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.Hitch came in good condition but the shipping box was completely open and many parts of the box were ripped. I think this is probably due to how it’s handled once it’s in UPS’s hands but could be something Etrailer looks into solving with more and better packaging.
The first hitch didn't fit my Toyota Tacoma (brackets angled in) and the second hitch they shipped also didn't fit (angled out). I can't tell if it was bent in shipping or manufactured wrong. The box was damaged but the hitch didn't show any scars. I don't think a customer should need to bend a product as was suggested by customer service. I think at minimum it should be more protected during boxing. see annotated photo showing 2nd hitch.
Everything I needed to quickly self-install(with a son-in-law) the hitch receiver. It has worked flawlessly.
The hitch fit well. No bolts washers or spacers were include. Went to local ace and got bolts, not cheap.$4.99 ea Had my own washers but not spacers. I will find spacers and reinstall.
Nice solid hitch receiver. Not difficult to install.

Still working excellent with no issues towing a 15 foot boat.
A hitch is a hitch. The difference is that you get the correct fit, all the hardware, information, and service out of etrailer you don't find elsewhere. I did not believe the instructions and tips concerning a freight damaged hitch. So I sent it back. Shouldn't have. The new one came, also slightly damaged. Decided to actually listen to the experts, clamped it in the Wilton and easily straightened it. What I should have done the first time. Fit perfect and not a problem towing a boat and trailer at 3650 lbs, all in.
The hitch is of good quality and it fit perfectly. I found that the best way to install the hitch is to remove the rear bumper entirely. All the mounting bolts need to be removed anyway and the two on the bumper are hard to get to and probably were in there since my 2007 truck was new. Much easier to remove all the bolts with the bumper off and the hitch is easy to install with no bumper in the way. Finished install looks good with very little of the hitch showing except for the receiver. PS I'm a pretty good DIY type and it took 4 hours to install this hitch.
Looks nice once installed, but the flanges that fit between the bumper and chassis were bent when it arrived and required some significant "unbending". Based on other reviews for the same item, I think this needs to come in better packaging to avoid bending.
installation took longer due to undercoating making the bolts extremely difficult to remove.
Took me only an hour to install. The four washer/spacers/shims were difficult to get aligned with the bolt holes.
The right side brackets was bent, probably during shipment. I did get it bent back in place. Took a large bench vice and some leverage to get bracket back in its original position.
Other than these 2 issues, this install was a clean and neat project for the 2009 Toyota Tacoma.

It sounds like that the side brackets were knocked out of alignment which is why the bolt holes are not lining up. This can happen while in transit to our facility or to you. We do have a great FAQ that provides ways to move the brackets back into alignment so the hitch can be installed.

It’s built very well. The Tacoma frame tappers towards the bumper. Extremely tight fit, rubber mallet is helpful.
But it fit, I’m happy.
Awesome product and super fast shipping! Very happy with purchase.
Installed today Video instructions were flawless Will install the light kit tomorrow So here’s the skinny. I’m 59 yo, it was 98 degrees out today, and I finished in a couple hours with the help of a floor jack. I would absolutely recommend an extra set of hands and a lift if available. But hey if I can crawl around on the concrete so can you
Very well built product. Instructions easy to follow all product satisfaction excellent.
Great product! Fast and timely shipping. Only issue is side brackets flexed due to shipping and it was short by a 1/4 inch for me to bolt on frame. Resolved it by using a bottle jack and 2x4 and flexed the side brackets out to the correct fit. Very sturdy and strong and secure to pull my 21 ft boat.
Great product!, Quick shipping!
Very easy to install and it fits perfect on my 2013 Tacoma
Quality products, installation was well explained and accurate. Competitive pricing & quality products-- highly recommend ETRAILER!
The perfect solution for my towing needs. A high-quality product delivered by a fast reliable service at a great price.
Fully recommended for all use. Thoroughly impressed.
One pretty aggravating problem. Included instructions said to add four metal spacers, 2 to each side. Adding the spacers was a pain and when I went to add the bumper it turned out to be wrong and I had to remove the hitch receiver and remount it without the spacers in order for the bumper to fit.
I haven’t seen the product yet, because I’m currently deployed. However I am already going to give it a 4 star review just based on their customer service. It’s been remarkable. Really feels like less like a massive corporation and more of a small business that actually cares.
Great product. Easy install
It exactly what I need it for my ebike to transport thank you...
Quality product received super quick. The hitch fit right up nice. Will do business with again. Thanks so much.
Installed on my Tacoma. No alterations or adaptation needed. Correct hardware included.
