Perfect for light-duty towing, this custom, vehicle trailer hitch receiver features fully welded, gloss powder coated steel construction. Drawbar sold separately.
I fitted a few of these over the years and this was simple. Very sturdy and the wiring kit is great.
Best one yet!
Along with the hitch I ordered a bike strap and torque wrench, all arrived sooner than scheduled and exactly as s described on the web site - great customer service!
The hitch was an extremely simple installation, about 10 minutes. Need to torque the bolts to 45lbs so don’t forget a torque wrench. The hitch is well concealed and blends with the car.
I did something outside the box. Mounted the 1 1/4. Tube to front of my car trailer for a winch. Ability to take it on & off. Noah bought in to what I was trying to accomplish. Thanks again etrailer.
Last year I spent probably $200 to buy and install a hitch through UHaul. The location wasn't convenient but thought it was really my only option. Within 6 months I had to have the hitch removed because it was banging so much...turns out they installed the wrong size and banging against the muffler. Rather than having to deal with UHaul again, I found this hitch online and it looked really easy to install. On this site it was almost half of retail price and arrived quickly. It was super easy to install...10 minutes max. Couldn't be happier!
Found out about etrailer from their YouTube video on how to install a hitch on my Tiguan. Wonderful video and great product. Super easy for a novice, about 30 minutes and I was done. If you have an extension for your socket, that will make the job easier.

No issues after a year of use! thanks for a great product and wonderful find
All is good. It attached perfectly, my mechanic is an excellent job putting the wiring in. I have pulled my boat many times and it is exactly what I expected. VW wants a $1000 installed for their hitch and wiring. Must used magic wire....lol. Great for my hitch mounted bike rack too. Use it a lot for that. thank you.
Purchased for use with a 1up bike rack, the hitch installed in minutes and has worked great! Seems heavy duty for the the size,and still looks new after a year of weekly abuse. I would suggest a 2" opening over the 1.25" if hauling more than 1bike even though the weight capacity is the same with this particular hitch.
Purchased a whole kit for my VW Tiguan, and let me say with the directions/video from etrailer, installation was by far the easiest thing. They don't miss a step in the instructions and are very detailed in what you need to do. I HIGHLY recommend etrailer for all your trailer needs. You don't even have to be handy, just have the tools and follow along. A+++
Great product. Just what I needed
Excellent products. The only problem was that I ordered a pin and clip for a class 3, but ordered a class 2 hitch and draw bar. My fault, but I would thing that my mistake would have been noticed and perhaps brought to my attention. Again, the only problem was MY fault. I would definitely purchase from etrailer again.
Very easy to install on 2015 VW Tiguan.
Quality built hitch easy to put on works great
Installation was a breeze!
Thanks etrailer!
The online video sold me on your product & process. I’ve already recommended you to my son who’s looking for a hitch.
Good fit and better price than the VW version. Install was just bolting to the rear bumper after cutting an access hole to the bottom surface of the vinyl bumper cover.
as always, the etrailer hitch was easy to install and works great. Very happy with this purchase.
Love that I was able to install myself. Took an entire 25 minutes or so. Using hitch on my 2017 Tiguan for a 1UP USA bike rack.
Receiver was well made and fit the existing mounting holes on the car frame perfectly. Installation took less than ten minutes and required only a sharp knife to trim the fascia and a socket wrench.
This hitch was super easy to find (the website is grand) ....fits my car perfect ....so easy to install! I installed it myself - 66 yr old woman!!! It allows me to take my bike everywhere!
Easy install and no issues a year later. A good purchase! Don't waste your money paying someone else to install a hitch - just do it yourself :)
Perfect fit and easy installation
Easy to install and perfect fit for the vehicle

Very easy to install on the VW Tiguan. Solid construction.
Might have to buy the 2" version for greater compatibility and I'll buy this brand.

Couldn't have gone on any easier!
