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.

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.Easiest hitch I ever put on. I remember putting on an oem hitch years ago and it was a bear to install, not to mention the size of it. The etrailer hitch was a cinch. An extra set of hands makes it a lot easier to thread bolts at the same time. Thread the middle one first and you can let it hang for a second while you thread the rest. The 17' Honda Pilot required me to undo tailpipe from hanger in order to get my torque wrench and socket up into the right passenger side rear. Not to mention dropping the spare. Other than those two things it was very easy for a diy'er. I noticed the instructions mentioned warranty provided by curt. Perhaps they making these specifically for etrailer? The power black is nice against the white paint and black bumper. It conceals nicely and would recommended over the two options available. It will be mostly used for bike rack. 611195
Good quality hitch - takes a beating during shipping though, and mine had a 'dent' on the bottom corner of the receiver. Overall it shouldn't affect the performance of the hitch, it's just a cosmetic issue. Installs in 30 minutes or less. Helpful hint that I didn't learn until AFTER I installed it by myself was to use long zip ties to temporarily hold the hitch up on both sides while you work in the bolts. Overall very satisfied w/this hitch and look forward to putting it through it's paces. 534934
A little more difficult to install than I had anticipated. Unless the hitch is tipped down and slid up behind the exhaust pipe hangers, it will not go into place. I mounted it by my self and it rubbed the exhaust hangers until secured in place. If the portions that fit flat on the frame were notched slightly, this would not have been a problem and would have swung into place much more easily. I believe that this would still have been a problem even if I had a helped on the install as the hitch is wider than the rubber bushing on the exhaust hangers. That said, it is a heavy duty well made product and looks great on my 2017 Acura MDX. 535122
Just received the hitch last night and did unpack it from the box. I will be installing very soon. My first impression is that it is very well manufactured. The gauge of steel, welds and paint job all look very good. I am sure this hitch will work great. The only criticism I have is that one end of the hitch was poking thru and hanging outside of the box as it was delivered. Otherwise I think the value overall is super. Thanks! 595789
Hi I tried the mounting bolts and they seem tight. the car is new and screw threads are clean. I will try to clean then anyway. my question is are the threads standard for the bolts . I only threaded by hand . the bolt did about 1 1/2 turns before needing a wrench 670351
This is the second etrailer hitch we've put on our vehicles and both times the products have been great and easy to install! 595232

2" Hitch receiver for a 2019 Honda Pilot. I received my order promptly. Box arrived in great condition. The hitch itself has a very nice powder-coated finish. The installation on a 2019 Honda Pilot tucks in nicely behind the bumper so only the actual receiver itself is visible. The installation was very simple (6 bolts). Simply lower the spare tire down and out of the way. I would definitely recommend having a second set of hands to hold it in place (it's heavy). I was able to actually use a floor jack to be my second set of hands and hold it in place while I bolted it in the place. The installation took me about 10-15 minutes and it looks great. This is a great alternative to the OEM factory hitch for the money. I did not run any electrical wiring or have a transmission cooler installed as I am only intending on using this to install a hitch-mount bicycle rack. I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it for your vehicle. 696142
Wanted a trailer hitch on my 2018 honda pilot. A honda install was very costly and The trailer rental place was a long wait or dropoff. I installed it myself with the aid of two 5 gallon buckets. The hitch fit perfectly. Dry fitted the bolts before the install to make sure everything would snug up. I snugged them up with my torque wrench to the rating mentioned in the instructions. Took about an hour. Would be easier with some help. I still have to install the wiring, but waiting for the tester to arrive. 556388
heavy but sturdy, ready to haul 664275
Fits perfect. Easy installation. I did need a helper to install due to the Wieght. I was able to do it without lifting the vehicle. 672265
Looks like a great product so far on my 2016 MDX. Installation was easy and worked out just like the video showed. I held the hitch in place while my wife threaded in the first couple of bolts. The hitch looks great with only the receiver itself exposed -- everything else is hidden under the body of the car.The only minor issue was the final torquing of the bolts on the passenger side. I was using a beam-type torque wrench and the exhaust pipe interfered with the extension bar I needed to get a clear path. you may have to "un-hang" the exhaust pipe to get an unimpeded path for torquing. I was able to tighten the bolts, but I have no idea if they are torqued to spec. Not too worried as this hitch will be used only for bike racks. 534944
Just installed e98840 on 2018 Honda Pilot. Fits great. Matte finish works great with lower plastic of bumper. Although box was a bit rough on delivery the hitch was in perfect condition. Also very quick shipping 551237
I've ordered two hitches from etrailer in the last two months. The first took about two weeks for delivery, the second arrived within a couple of days. etrailer could improve their shipping cartons. The boxes both arrived in were heavily damaged in shipment--carton torn and steel exposed. I alerted etrailer on the first, and requested an RMA. They tried to talk their way through the carton situation, and issued an RMA after a bit. Because these are heavy duty steel hitches, I decided to attempt the installation anyway. I took both to mechanics for installation. My first installer couldn't install--I think he just didn't want to spend mess around with this and gave up. The second mechanic did fine...so I suspect these are pretty easy to install. Over all, the ordering process was easy, and the price seemed reasonable. Expect the hitch cartons to be damaged...but the hitches are steel, so should be ok to install. 534936

Love Etrailer. The product is very solid. Fit frame perfectly. Powder coat finish looks solid. Instructions are easy to follow. If you are doing this in your driveway 2 jack stands and a jack help a ton. Item ships quick and well packed. Have ordered all of my hitches here. 941973
Product is amazing. Just as described and easy to install. Would highly recommend. Thank you! 941868
Hitch arrived when promised Perfect fit for my 2018 Honda Pilot. Easy install. Plenty of clearance between hitch and spare tire. Stacked short lengths of 6x6 and 2x4 boards to raise hitch in place. 941097
Perfect for my Acura MDX. Easy to install. Great for bike racks. 940591
Installed quickly and works great. I had it on the MDX just 30 minutes after it was delivered on the porch. I used a small Igloo Playmate (on its side) to prop up one side while bolting the first side. One man job for this skinny-armed cyclist. 937362
