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.
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. The one-on-one, personal service you'll receive comes straight from an expert in the towing and automotive field. We've installed it, we've wired it and we've towed with it, so whatever your question, we can answer it.
Product itself was good, quality looks great. Excited to use the trailer hitch. The Online installation video that I stumbled upon from etrailer was spot on. Would be nice to include a link to these in the email
Receipt as the vehicle itself was chosen at time of order. The fit was great and installation was easy, again spot on with the etrailer online installation video. However shipping and quality of arrived product is what matters. My trailer hitch box had 4 holes ripped in the box due to poor packaging design where the hitch was showing through the box. There were scratches down to metal which I had to paint and that is disappointing as powder coat doesn’t help if it’s scratched off when it arrives. Overall this looks like a really nice product though and am excited to use it.
Hitch received promptly from etrailer. Minor holes in box, expected for this type of item in shipping but no damage to hitch. Easy installation. Had to trial and error the cuts on the plastic under panel to not overcut.
I ordered a powder coat painted hitch so the metal would have a durable coating. The hitch came with a ripped box. There were about 3 chips that I had to paint. Not what I was expecting, but the hitch did bolt right into place.
Seems well-made and installation not too bad EXCEPT the back hole on one side was mis-aligned. Fooled around with it for quite a while and then went to YouTube and saw how a guy got around the problem. Now that it's in, it looks great.
Straight forward to install, did have to bend out one of the mounting brackets slightly. Think packaging for shipment could use some improvement as others have noted. Take care when installing to protect coating.
We've installed this ourselves on our 2023 Toyota Sienna and its worked great. I do feel i need to add airbags for towing since the weight drops the car lower, but we mostly use it for our bikes, which works out great (we mount 2 rather heavy E-bikes in combination with a Hollywood 2 bike rack - around 200 lbs
Good price, easy enough installation, good product. Bought it to mount my bike rack so I bought it without the wiring harness - I read the electrical install is not fun. Only used it a handful of times but so far so good. The installation was easy enough. Most difficult part was just getting the bolts to 86ftlb while lying on the ground. Would be easier with a friend to help lift the other side while lining up the bolts but wedging a couple pieces of wood on the other side worked fine. Looks good too!

Going strong a year later! Great choice. Noticed that backing down on some steeper inclines like driveways transitioning to the street it can bottom out and scrape but it doesn’t seem like that could have been avoided design-wise and it’s also not that big a problem. Everything else about this hitch has been great. Great finish too no signs of rusting.

I received an email to evaluate the product. Unfortunately, the product has some defects, including: Sometimes it hits the ground when bumping. This can be fixed. Thank you.
Worked as described and the videos were spot on! Would recommended and I’ll use them again!
Arrived quickly, meets our needs to install a hitch mounted bike rack and others in the future.
Quality product that was very easy to install. Have owned for one year and it has held up well. Wish it was angled up for more clearance, but that is more Toyota issue.
So easy to install a paraplegic can do it :)
Really, I am a paraplegic and had it done in about 1.5 hrs from the time I started. So opening the box, gathering tools, watching the install video... done.
The service and item which I received was outstanding. I would highly recommend etrailer.com to others. Thank you.
The hitch is sturdy, exactly like it is advertised. Thank you.
Perfect fit, easy self installation and the provided instructions had pictures!
Installed the trailer hitch on my 2022 Toyota Sienna XLE. Super easy to install and it looks great! Thank you for a great product!
I bought a Toyota sienna new, 2022. They put a tiny hitch on it that wouldn’t fit our 7 bike bike rack, so we bought this one and installed it. All the screws lined up and the customer service helped me know what one to buy. It’s working great!
I have to say your company is fantastic.
I ended up with the wrong trailer hitch because I made a mistake on ordering it and found the mistake after it shipped I called and was helped ordering the proper one and emailed me a return label so could return it. (done today) tomorrow I will install the proper hitch on our new Toyota Sienna and wire up the trailer lights.
Fit perfectly and the instructions were exactly correct for my vehicle. Would definitely recommend the etrailer version as it's matte finish really blends well with the matte finish of my rear lower bumper.
Perfect Fit.
works ok. had some challenges installing as hitch gets bent in storage/shipping. Easy to remedy, but took a while to get help - and it seems to be a common problem.
had to add 4 inch extender/riser. more info about clearance would have been helpful.
Prompt delivery, although the care of the package was not good, hitch is already scrapped up and missing paint in areas, pretty bummed.

Ouch, that doesn't look good at all, Nathan. I'm sorry to see that your hitch arrived like that. We have an article about rust prevention that I've linked for you. It's always good to check the hitch once a year to cover any open spots to kep prevent any rust down the road.

Excellent quality product. Installation was simple and quick. Fantastic hitch
Fast delivery, simple install, and the motion sensor for the automatic door still works.
The e56RR Trailer Hitch Receiver arrived in a cardboard box with T-1 Wiring harness. The box was slightly damaged but all parts were included. After unpacking the box, I noticed the attaching plates looked bent, Attached are two photos of the Receiver from the under side. The Driver side mounting plate in bent 1.15" when measured 5" from the bar welding and the passenger side plate is bent 0.15" when measured 5" from the bar welding. The pasenger side plate will probably bolt on but the driver's side will need to be straightened before it will fit. Please advise what I should do next. I think both plates were welded on without the bends.

I see from the pictures that were sent that the hitch is what we call flexed. 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. Please see the FAQ link below.
