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.

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.by: Dennis04/20/2022
This was a easy an install as I've ever had it took me longer to drop the spare tire than it did to bolt up the hitch and that includes clamping the rear bumper. It blends in with the bumpercolor great! Would absolutely recommend this and it showed up a day early
by: FISH0N07/17/2022
Hitch appears to be similar in quality to more well known names. Instructions were easy to follow and took about 15 mins to install. The hitch receiver arrived with some scuffs, even though it was well packaged. No affect on the performance just odd since it's brand new. Time will tell if the finish holds up.

Im sorry to see that your hitch has received some scratches on it due to shipping. This does tend to happen and when it does, we recommend using a Rust-oleum type paint to cover up any scratches and prevent corrosion in the future during use. I have a link below for your reference. I have also sent this information over to our Customer Service Department for them to get into contact with you.

Solid product, finish is holding up well and I would purchase again.

Product is geeat. Got on your website to get install video.no issues, except factory installer at Ford over tightened the 4 bolts and they were hard to get loose. I followed your instructions that came with hitch for torque setting. Thanks
by: Richard09/13/2023
Ordered on Sunday, arrived on Wednesday. Installation went just as shown in the video. I did by myself and used two 5 gallon buckets to hold the hitch while I bolted it up. I did have to loosen the spare tire and move it forward an inch or so so it wouldn’t rub on the hitch.
by: Steve 05/24/2023
High quality unit that fit right in with no issues. Use a breaker bar with 1/2" head and 13/16" deep socket to easily achieve the 196 ft-lbs for the 4 bolts. That's all there is to it. Clamp the bumper, remove all 4 bolts, place hitch underneath, replace 4 bolts and torque to 196 ft-lbs - which is about a 2-handed, full body lean with a standard breaker bar that is about 12" long. I used red loctite on 2 of the 4 bolts and I could tell the difference so I recommend using the loctite - the 2 bolts with loctite felt smoother on the bar.

The hitch is as described and as expected. It went on my Ranger easier than expected. Four bolts and was a breeze. Is manufactured to accommodate the vehicle. It was also received a couple days earlier than expected or promised.
Thanks again for the good product and service.

This is the 4th trailer hitch I have bought from etrailer, this one by far was the easiest to install. I was able to get it installed in 20 minutes on my own. The installation did not require me to take the whole bumper apart as I would have had to do if I purchased a trailer hitch from Ford.
by: Greg G08/22/2022
Quality piece, thick gauge steel with strong neat welds. The matte finish powder coat has a slight texture to it that looks really great.

I ordered 2 days ago and installed it today. After watching the video the installation was very easy. I'm 67 years old and did it by myself in less that 20 minutes. I used two visegrips to hold the bumper on and a jack stand to hold up one end while I bolted the opposite end. The hardest part was trying to generate the 196 ft lbs to torque the bolts. GreT service with great products.

I watched the video on how to install and it was perfect and the hitch fit perfect. It took me about 1/2 hr to install by myself. Would probably have taken a lot less tome if I would have had some hold it up while putting the bolds in
Thank you for your excellent video and perfect merchandise

We do not have specific installers we've worked with in your area but typically it's best to find someone with a solid reputation...

- What is Needed to Install Hitch on 2020 Ford RangerPutting a hitch on your 2020 Ford Ranger is something that you can do at home, it's very straight forward and only requires a few tools. A 21mm socket (a ratchet or impact tor drive it), a clamp, and a torque wrench. The hitches available for your Ranger are going to use the factory hardware and existing mounting holes is the frame to attach, no drilling or cutting at all. I do suggest that you have someone help you lift the hitch in place and get the hardware started so it's not as cumbersome. I...

- Does the Spare Tire Need Lowered To Install etrailer Hitch On 2020 Ford RangerIn regard to the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e63ZR which is a fit for a 2020 Ford Ranger, the instructions do not require the lowing of your spare tire to install this hitch. We sometimes do this when making videos to give our viewers a better picture of what is being done.

I really wouldn't recommend obtaining this unless you worked...
