Features to know about

Haul More Without Worry: Strong Towing Strength up to 7,500 lbs GTW

This Class III hitch receiver is built for real work and real adventure. With a 7,500 lbs gross trailer weight rating and 750 lbs tongue weight, it’s ready for campers, boats, and utility trailers. When used with weight distribution, capacity jumps to 8,000 lbs GTW and 800 lbs tongue weight. The sturdy square-tube design keeps everything steady so you can tow confidently on every trip.

Keep It Looking Good: Matte Black Powder Coat That Resists Corrosion

The matte black powder coat finish doesn’t just look good—it works hard. etrailer adds a fourth layer of coating for extra protection against rust and wear. The matte surface hides dirt and scuffs better than glossy finishes and stands up to years of weather exposure. It gives the hitch a rugged, factory-like style that blends in cleanly under the bumper.

Make Installation Simple: Bolt-On Design with Included Hardware

No drilling or welding is needed here—this hitch bolts straight into existing frame attachment points. The complete hardware kit comes ready for the job, making it a great option for DIY installs done in the driveway with basic tools. The precise, custom fit means everything lines up and tightens down smoothly for a solid mount that’s ready to tow when you are.

Do More with One Hitch: Standard 2" Receiver for Everyday Gear

The 2" x 2" receiver opening fits most ball mounts, multi-bike racks, cargo carriers, and other towing accessories. It’s the go-to size for getting more versatility out of your vehicle—whether hauling gear for work or loading up for a weekend road trip. Once installed, you’ll have a strong and adaptable setup ready for whatever comes next.

I had a great experience ordering a trailer hitch for my 2026 Ford Ranger through etrailer. Their website made it easy to enter my vehicle information and find a hitch that was specifically recommended for my truck. The product information was detailed and gave me confidence that I was ordering the correct part.

The hitch arrived as expected, everything was included, and it fit the truck perfectly. I had a mobile installer come to my home, and the installation went smoothly with no issues.

I also appreciated the amount of useful information etrailer provides about their products. The entire process from researching the right hitch to ordering and installation was straightforward. I would definitely use etrailer again for future towing or vehicle accessories. Highly recommended.

Purchased for a 2024 Ford Ranger with bumper hitch. Wanted this receiver hitch for ease of use and better load capacity.

Etrailer shipped quickly and install was very simple thanks to the receiver hitch made specifically for this vehicle. Does not interfere with the spare tire or the trailer connector or bumper chain loops. To install clamp current bumper to tab at each side of bumper. Remove four existing bolts holding bumper. Lift new receiver hitch with a floor or bottle jack in to a space in original bumper bracket and reinstall four bumper bolts. I’m 74 and have a shop full of tools. Took about 10 minutes to gather tools and put them back up when done and about 10 minutes under the vehicle removing and reinstalling bolts. Process is easy peazy and uses existing bolts no knew hardware.

Really appreciate all of the detail here Rick and thanks for the photos!

The e37ZV trailer hitch receiver was installed in less than an hour by a mechanic friend of mine and is an excellent fit.  It was well packaged and had arrived with no damage.  The factory bumper hitch on my 2025 XLT Ford Ranger proved inadequate when I first towed my pontoon trailer.  The bumper pad was damaged and must now be replaced.  The new hitch will prevent any further future damage.

Great quality, and I love the matte finish. Looks great on my gray Ranger. I'm definitely not a mechanic, but do have some tools like a breaker bar and torque wrench and it was super easy to install. The pictures in the copy of a copy instructions were horrible, but I just went on the site and downloaded a color version so I could have clear pictures, especially for the step to clamp the bumper assembly so it doesn't fall.

I’m sure it’s a quality hitch but I sold that Subaru and never took it out of the box.
by:
It is well built. Easy to install. I’m 67 and installed it myself in about 30 minutes. It doesn’t interfere with the wiring or spare tire access. The lady that I spoke with was very helpful and helped me get the right equipment for my need.

It took longer to get my tools together than put the hitch on.

Good quality tow hitch and only took about 15 mins to install on my Ranger

Fit perfectly and works just as it should!

Brand new truck. Had tow package but it was thru the bumper. YUCK. Bolts were VERY tight. Had to use a bar for leverage but got them off. Other than that very quick and easy to attach. Perfect fit. Will be towing my 1660 Crestliner back to Maine from Florida.

Your service was excellent, received product a few days after ordering it. Had it installed by the Big Tex dealer in Benton, AR at a very reasonable price. Fit and finish of product is very good.

Glad to hear that, Tom! I'm glad we could help!

Fits perfectly, just like the website says. My truck bumper has a hole for a bumper mounted hitch ball (flashed back to 1968 when I found that) and a 4-pin connector installed as-built by Ford. The etrailer hitch fit perfectly without any modification or relocation of the 4-pin connector required. The hitch arrived quickly and installation was a breeze (less than 30 minutes but my truck is only 4 months old so no corrosion to fight). I was able to do it myself but 2 people would have made it easier. I'll head down to the auto parts store tomorrow and rent the torque wrench to finalize the installation. etrailer delivered on the promises made!

  • 2025 Ford Ranger Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver
    Hey Tom! I personally like the etrailer Hitch # e37ZV because it has a matte black finish that protects the metal better than a standard glossy black finish, but I see you picked up the Draw-Tite # DT35PR which is also a great hitch that I know you'll be happy with! What drew you to that hitch over the Curt? Did you need wiring for trailer lights as well?

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2027/2028 Ford Ranger
    Hey John, the etrailer hitch part # e37ZV is a confirmed fit for both the 2027 and 2028 Ford Ranger so next year when you get your new truck this will be the correct hitch to get whether you end up with either year. I like this hitch because it has great towing capacities and is mostly hidden as well. Will you be doing some towing?
