Rugged, Matte Black Finish

The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability.

In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

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

after a year I have used this almost constantly I am very satisfied with the solidness of the hitch it still looks new

Seems good quality and very easy to install, but the hitch had Marks and scratches like if it was installed and then returned.

I can see what you mean about the scratches in the photos you sent. I used to work in the Returns Department here at etrailer, and I can assure you that this hitch has not been previously installed. There would be very deep grooves from lock washers and hardware. But your hitch is still scratched up! I will send your information to our customer service team and have them contact you about what can be done.

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.

did not realize I was getting a class 3 hitch with a 2 inch receiver,, my mistake I should have read a little closer the details,now I need to buy a different receiver for the hitch,, again my mistake



by:

Quick shipping, easy installation and excellent quality. After watching the installation video I was able to install it myself in 30 minutes



by:

Very easy to find the hitch that I needed on the website. The ordering process was also very easy. The shipping was very fast. The hitch was packaged in an excellent way that kept it secure in the box. After watching the short install video on the website, I already knew what tools I needed and how to install the hitch well before it arrived. During install, I had to release the tension on the spare slightly as it was rubbing. I tightened the spare after complete install. I did use an extra set of hands to hold it in place while putting the bolts back in. This was the easiest install that I have done on a vehicle. The product was damage free and appears to be very solid. Absolutely satisfied.



by:

Great hitch. Arrived on time, very easy to install. It took about 30 minutes with the help of my neighbor. I highly recommended etrailer.



by:

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:

Peyton verified what I needed and it was sent out the same day, even arrived by UPS a day early. I saw it took most people 30 minutes to install, me, 3 hours. Spent 2 1/2 of those hours at Home Depot buying a breaker bar for the bumper bolts. Actual time was about 30 minutes. Matte finished matched the rear bumper perfectly.



by:

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.

by:

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.

Package was full of staples where holes in the cardboard occur and taped together where the box was ripped. Contents were in excellent condition dispute the above issues



by:

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.



by:
2020 Ford Ranger

I assume this is almost identical to several competing products, except for having a matte finish which I think most would prefer to gloss. It's at the right price, and quick delivery. Very easy to install if you have the right tools.



by:

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:
Ford Ranger

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.

Quality piece, thick gauge steel with strong neat welds. The matte finish powder coat has a slight texture to it that looks really great.

  • Will The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit With Larger Spare Tire On 2021 Ford Ranger Tremor?
    Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e63ZR will fit your 2021 Ford Ranger Tremor. I have included an image sent in with a review showing the Curt # C13417 which is identical in construction to ours with the larger spare tire used on the Tremor. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56431 will provide you with a 7-way connector which you can mount using a Bracket # C67UR. If you need it to tow a smaller trailer you will need an Adapter # PK12716.

  • Recommended 7-Way Connector for a 2023 Ford Ranger
    Yes, there is! To add a 7-Way to your 2023 Ford Ranger without the factory tow package you will want the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector item # C56431. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your Ranger's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver side rear bumper. I have linked an installation video below to help you get it set up.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2022 Ford Ranger w/ Tremor Package
    I have a great hitch for you but I checked with our vendors and no one makes a hitch that attaches to the bumper on the 2022 Ford Ranger with or without the Tremor Package. I took a look at Ford's website and they do not list one either just an overly complicated frame mounted one. I recommend using the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver item # e63ZR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Ranger with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a...

  • Will etrailer Hitch e63ZR Fit 2023 Ford Ranger Tremor With OEM Rear Tow Hooks?
    Hello Rick, thanks for reaching out. I can confirm that the etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e63ZR will fit your 2023 Ford Ranger Tremor and the OEM tow hooks will NOT need to be removed. The hitch will clear easily. Take a look at the picture below. This shows the Curt # C13417 installed on a Ford Ranger Tremor with tow hooks. The Curt # C13417 is structurally identical to the etrailer # e63ZR hitch, so this is exactly what it will look like after installation. Our etrailer hitch uses a matte...

  • Differences Between Curt and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receivers For a 2023 Ford Ranger?
    The only difference between our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e63ZR and the Curt # C13417 for your 2023 Ford Ranger is the finish. Our receiver is manufactured by Curt as we selected them for their outstanding quality and attention to detail. While their receiver has a gloss black powder coat finish we have our receiver finished in a matte black powder coat finish. I personally feel the matte black is a better finish which has a more factory appearance. I recommend installing the...

  • Can Any Hitch be Used for Towing with a 2022 Ford Ranger
    According to the 2022 Ford Towing Guide if your 2022 Ford Ranger has the 53R towing package then you can tow up to 7,500 lbs. To meet the full towing potential, you could either use the Curt Hitch # C13417 for the etrailer hitch # e63ZR along with weight distribution. The weight distribution will increase the 6,000 pound capacities of this hitches to 8,0000 pounds which is more than your Ranger allows.

  • Will The Curt Or etrailer Hitch Maximize My 2021 Ford Rangers Towing Capacity?
    You are not necessarily incorrect about your 2021 Ford Ranger being limited to 3,500 pounds, but there is a caveat to this. The 3,500 pound tow rated is only when you are using the bumper as a hitch. I included a picture showing what I mean by that as well. When using a conventional hitch, like the Curt # C13417 or etrailer # e63ZR, you are looking at a maximum towing capacity of 7,500 pounds. This means you also have 750 pounds of tongue weight and will indeed have a lot more options for...
