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.

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY.
etrailer hith for Palisade.Order and delivery was fine, after install when I mounted a bike rack I noticed that rack is tilted to the right side. Contacted customer suppport and their response was "the hitch is within specs and that the angle is exaggerated by the bike rack and it will not affect the integrity of the hitch". Well that is great. Anything I put behind this car will be croocked. Acceptable to etrailer but not for me.
Very not happy.
I have purchased couple of hitches from etrailer before with no issues.
Customer support rep was responsive and polite, no issues there.
Please, read before you buy this hitch.
Thank you.

Finished install looks great, but installation (for me) wasn't as easy as I was expecting. Clearances are very tight, regardless of which direction you install the long bolts (see below). I would recommend screwing the smaller bolts into the frame before attempting to mount the hitch to make them easier to screw in while you are holding the hitch in place. I installed the longer thru bolts from the outside of the car with nuts on the inside on the drivers side, and from the inside of the car to the outside on the passenger side. To me, this was the easiest way to access the nuts with the torque wrench, but it was still a pita.
Installation video says to just bend or cut the yellow tabs coming down from the bottom of the car if they are in your way. DON'T do that - an easier way to get them out of your way is to pop up the round covers within the cargo area (where the jack is stored) and unscrew the screw in there. The yellow tab will now push up out of your way and is easily pushed back in place when you are done. (see pic)
I usually rate my jobs by number of f-bombs I drop - this one was a 3 f-bomber (out of 10) so not too bad, but it did take me about two hours.
Love the way it looks - crossbar is completely hidden. No trimming of the bumper panel was required.
This was installed on a 2024 Hyundai Palisade SEL.

I enjoyed your review and the suggestion on how to allow the yellow tab to be moved more easily for install. Nice pictures!

One year out and hitch is still working and looking great!
Been on the Palisade for a year now and used it yesterday. Cheaper option versus factory receiver and it wasn't bad to install. Just have a good torque wrench and maybe some stands to elevate the rear of the vehicle. I have a slope driveway and did everything with my 13 yr old no problem but lacked just a little room to easily move the torque wrench. Still got it but stands could have helped.

Sounds like you had the perfect install helper!
I bought this hitch for a 2023 Hyundai Palisade to tow our Casita travel trailer. Sturdy product, easy installation, and great fit. eTrailer made it easy to order on-line and kept me updated on every step through the delivery process. Next steps are to install the 7-pin wiring harness and brake controller.

I have used this hitch to tow a 17 Casita Travel Trailer around and havent had any issues with it. Still towing strong!
This was purchased for a bike rack but because the hitch isn’t an OEM it sits lower and under the bumper. When I try to lower the rack, it hits the ground which will damage the racks pull rod (it’s a 1up). Therefore I can’t get into the back of my car without taking the bikes off. Hitch itself is fine but be aware of reduced clearance.
The Class III Receiver Hitch e95ZR was a perfect fit for my 2022 Hyundai Palisade - like a glove. From the factory the hitch arrived in a well packaged substantial cardboard box. I selected the flat black paint option because I didn't care to have anything shiny but the truth of the matter all you can see is the hitch receiver out the back end of the car. The novice installation time of 90 minutes would require you have the ultimate set of DIY tools and know exactly what to do when during the installation! I did a minimal amount of "pre-installation research" then tackled the job. Maybe I am just old and slow but give yourself more like 4 hours start (unboxing) to finish (putting the tools away). Here is my adventure - I started by dropping the spare tire, then I removed the drivers side plastic cover (where you attach the wiring harness). When you remove this start by first loosening the two overhead plastic fasteners then pop the (3) lower trim fasteners. If you don't already have a small metal automotive trim fastener tool - get one! They are cheap and will save you from busting your knuckles. Once that was done a got busy figuring out the exhaust isolation hangers which are about fist sized rubber attachments. I had good access and success with two of them - with a little soapy water and a strong firm pull they popped off. Then because I did have a little lowering of the exhaust I set off thinking I could wiggle in the hitch into position. This proved to be successful but wasted time - hard to reach the bolt holes and get things lined up while balancing a 39lb hitch. Really you want a 2nd set of hands for this - would make it significantly easier! I did manage to get at least 1 bolt in to hold the hitch but with no workable room then set out to pull the 3rd exhaust isolation hanger. However this one - closer to the passenger side rear wheel is in a difficult position - no leverage. So after wasting considerable time I relented and pulled the passenger side rear wheel off the car. This was the key and allowed me to slide off the hanger. I used a bungee cord to temporary provide strain relief to the exhaust. Once the exhaust was out of the way there was enough room to get all the bolts in place and secure them to the specified torque. When doing that I used a wrench to hold the nut or bolt head while taking advantage of the space on the outsides of the car (you will know what I mean the first time you crawl under). Electrical work - not much to show here - make sure the tabs line up and you will hear a very satisfying click. How you dress it up under the plastic cover is up to you - I am a fan of zip tying things together but mindful of wire bend radius. One thing when you slip the plastic cover piece back on there is easy room (no need to cut) for the hitch receiver wire (flat plug) but you will need to push and pinch in the cover a little depending on you bolt vs. nut direction. The instructions show having both bolt heads on the inside of the hitch towards the outside of the car which for the rearward bolt on the driver side should be reversed (would make for an easier install). Tip - you will see some purple in the pictures on the bolts. That is thanks to my daughters old nail polish - a nice way to know visually if anything has moved over time (and it has the right DIY cost = free). Overall what's important is that you have confidence in a safe and secure installation - so don't worry about the time clock you are not a professional wrench turner. Slow down and enjoy the install these hitches will outlast your car (they have for me on previous cars).
Amazing customer service. Ordered on a Thursday, received on a Saturday, and had it professionally installed in 60 minutes. It’s more low profile than I expected (was strongly considering the stealth hitch but glad I didn’t go that route). Matte looks great. It doesn’t protrude beyond the bumper (see pic for a 2024 Palisade) and looks good (as in doesn’t draw attention). Very excited to use a proper bike rack now instead destroying a trunk with a rack!
Very good product. Very high quality. This is the lowest price trailer hitch you can find for the palisade. Would definitely recommend this to everyone. Looks very nice. I experimented and fit it on my 2025 palisade. Fits great. Perfect product
fantastic service and great product. couldn't ask for a better experience from start to finish. I emailed a question and they answered immediately. After I ordered it shipped same day. They followed up after delivery and installation went just as they said. Plus it is made in the USA

etrailer sells what they say. I ordered this receiver got it the next day . Perfect fit video with etrailer described exactly what to do . I had it attached in 35 mins start to finish mysef no jacks or help. Well built uet light enough to handle with ease. I truely recommend this company. Very pleased.
The hitch fit perfectly and was easy to install. The installation videos were excellent!
Nicely fabricated piece and even though etrailer tries to package it securely it still managed to bust through the box in a couple of places. I like the matte finish and glad I had some flat black rust inhibiting paint on hand to touch up surface damage from shipping. Installation wasn't too difficult with the hardest part being tightening down the through bolts on the exhaust side because the muffler gets in the way. By reversing the through bolts on the driver side there is no need to trim the plastic cover or the plastic anchor that comes through the floor. I also reversed the inner through bolt on the exhaust side because the heat shield gets in the way of sliding the bolt through. Installation took me 90 minutes solo mostly because I took the time to chase the threaded holes in the frame and the nuts on the through bolts because I ran into these issues on two other installations on other vehicles. One note even though it's "Custom Fit" on the drivers side there was a gap between the mounting plate and frame rail after I tightened everything down. I'm not too concerned because I hit my torque values and I'm not towing anything just using it for my bike rack. Overall a nice hitch that looks better than stock IMO and I like that only the receiver is visible with the bulk of it hidden behind the bumper facia.
Installation was great,all holes lined up perfect.Hitch looks and works good.
All parts required for the installation were included along with great step-by-step video instructions!
Install video very accurate and detaile d.
Easy installation and supporting information was great. Had to wait from Hyundai’s wiring. But all good. Thanks for asking.

Perfect, so far no problems
It was a great investment. It installed very easily. We have used it several times on our Palisade for long trips and it works well.

Headed on any trips this summer, Zachary?
Works great and easy to install. I installed this on my wife’s 2020 Hyundai palisade for our move from AK to MD and it had no problems.
Worked perfectly for our 2023 Hyundai Palisade. Easy install. Great service from the folks at etrailer.com, I would highly recommend.
This Hitch has improved the handling of my SUV 95%. Theres little to none sway on the road while driving, Easy to install, easy to handle. Great quality at a great price! Thank you for an awesome job well done! Totally recommended.

The installation video was on point and the hitch went on easily. Looks great and very glad I purchased this hitch.
The install was easy to manage. The hitch had a bit of alignment offset. I called tech support to verify it was OK to go ahead with the installation. The tech support group was VERY knowledgeable and thorough.
I've towed several 8x12'Uhaul trailers with FULL loads. The hitch handled each run flawlessly.
