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.

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.Easy, 30 minute installation. I gave 2 stars because the hitch arrived with big scars in the powder coating and it looked like it had been previously installed on another vehicle. I called etrailer and they credited me $[XX] so I could buy a few rattle cans and fix the powder coating thing with spray paint. This seemed like a better option than boxing it back up and dropping it off to be exchanged. Very frustrating. Since most of the hitch will be covered, I added 5 coats of spray paint to the hitch before installing it. My main concern I’m rust on the hitch. I’ll give a few more coats if needed in a year.
So glad I found this hitch, and especially etrailer.com. Install was simple. 6 bolts. I did it by myself without any issues. In my case I just want to be able to use my bike rack and hitch haul, and don't need any wiring. This is the way to go! etrailer has great resources, and I LOVE that it's all on the same page and I don't have to go search for it. A++ on all counts!!
Brian G - 10/17/2020This hitch receiver is perfect and ready to go. Easy to install-VERY heavy duty and durable which gave me a great peace of mind and trust when using to travel. Also design is perfect and flush with number. Does not stick out or look out of place or make a challenge to park. Great product! Super fast shipping
I am very satisfied with etrailer and the Receiver Hitch I purchased from them for my 2018 Acura MDX. The package arrived quickly and the box and its contents were in perfect condition. I was able to install the product myself (without a lift or any other person helping), and I am 72 years old. I highly recommend etrailer and their products!
Richard - 03/29/2021This hitch was a perfect fit for our 2019 Acura MDX hybrid. Although the MDX hybrid is not rated for towing, it is already prepped to receive a hitch. We won't be towing anything, but installed this to carry our bikes. Therefore didn't need the harness for lights and brake controllers. This was a simple install and all parts and instructions were included. Our MDX is essentially new, so the mounting nuts, which are factory install and pre-welded to the frame, needed no cleaning. If dirty, a simply wire brush and a few spritzes of water should clean those out. Overall, it took about 10 minutes to unpack and install. My 16yo son and I picked a side, slid under the car, supported the hitch (about 50 lbs.) on our knees and screwed in the bolts. Once torqued to spec, the hitch was rock solid. Overall, this seems to be an excellent product, perfect for our limited needs.
Michael - 06/18/2020I installed this hitch by myself and was very pleased. It is heavy duty. Came with instructions and was easy to install as the directions were clear and pictures were provided. The six bolts were substantial and I feel good about their strength in the vehicle frame.
I wanted to let the company know they did a poor job packing the hitch. One side of the hitch poked through the box it came in and was exposed quite a bit. It ended up rubbing on the concrete and scratched it. Below is a picture of the exposed area.
Jenny N - 11/08/2021Hitch arrived the next day after shipping in great condition with all parts. Love it. This is my second trailer hitch. Install went smooth, and easy as advertised!
I love this trailer hitch and I love eTrailer. Hitch was delivered quickly in good condition in a sturdy box. Installation video on the website was perfect. Took 20 minutes to install with my son helping. Perfect!
I was so impressed with etrailer and my purchase of an etrailer hitch for my 2018 Honda Pilot. The installation video was great and my husband was able to install it himself, with the help of a jack to hold it up, in about half an hour. Couldn’t have been easier! The hitch works great with the bike rack I purchased to go with it. Thanks so much for a great product and great customer service.
Sarah - 07/07/2021I am a 50 year old banker. I wanted to get a new hitch on my 2020 Acura MDX AWD. Unfortunately, Uhaul and few other places had a back install wait time of 3-4 weeks. I watched the video on etrailer, ordered the hitch, and installed it myself in under 20 minutes. It was simple! 6 bolts, put one on one side then slide the muffler rub knob out othe way by one inch to get the hitch in place. It aligned perfectly and with my 22mm socket wrench I tighened everything up and it was done! Save $100!!!!
Quick free shipment and fair price. It’s also nice to talk to a US based company with great customer service on the phone. Nobody had a 2” Curt trailer hitch for my Acura MDX so the only option was etrailer’s brand. I had it installed by a local mechanic and he liked the quality and ease of installation of this tow bar. It only took him 40 minutes to attach the hitch and install the wiring harness. Thank you for coming through etrailer!
It’s top quality and service/delivery was excellent. Please know that the hitch is very heavy and awkward. It is a straightforward install but I gave up after 45 mins because I just could not install it on my own and it was not worth damaging the hitch or dropping it on a body part. I ended up having a local hitch installer do it for me.
This hitch was super easy to install. I only needed an extra set of hands to help me hold it in place while I installed the first couple of bolts. After that, it was a piece of cake. The related video made it very straight forward. We've used a few times already for toting around a bike carrier and it works flawlessly.
Alisa - 07/08/2021Just 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
Andy - 08/08/2019
It was perfect for my Honda Pilot 2016. Took it to North Carolina from Orlando, with 4 bikes on a bike rack and no issues. Looks nicer than others, very discrete. I installed it with a friend in 25’. I bought a cover/lid to protect it from corrosion and for a nicer finish :)
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.
Super easy search on the website got me to all I needed to install my hitch system. The videos attached to each product were up to date and accurate. Arrived 2 days early and installed easily (needs some muscle to lift into place). I would use etrailer again. Saved us $xxx on the local installation price.
Fit perfectly, only challenge was getting the 139lb-ft of torque with my 16 inch torque wrench while laying on my back! I had been concerned about tire clearance on my 2017 Honda Pilot, but it fits well.
I ordered a hidden hitch for our Honda Pilot. I've been pleased with the performance. I basically use it as a hitch for bike rack. It's easy to use and most importantly easy to install the security equipment. I was actually most impressed with the customer support. I installed the hitch and was having problems finding the right alignment for the bolt holes. I had convinced myself that I had the wrong hitch. A single call to the technical customer support center and the problem was over and the hitch installed. Thanks Oh and I think it makes more sense to send out the survey after the product has been in use for a period of time. I find the surveys that one receives after about a week to be a waste of time.
Ron H - 12/11/2020It is really good product Fitting Match exactly pattern on my Acura SH AWD tech package there’s plenty space for spare tire
Great product, easy to install, this my third hitch that I have purchased through the years.
Hitch was exactly as advertised. At first I didn't think it would fit, but kept wiggling it and turning it and it went right into place. All the holes lined up perfectly. Couldn't ask for more. Great service from the seller, too.
Was so easy!!! And delivered so quickly! If I need another hitch for another car I will for sure be ordering from here
This is the second hitch that I buy from etrailer and the first that I install myself, it was easy because I watched the installation video provided here in the website and at the end wasn’t hard, very nice!
