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.

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.It is an etrailer product, so not much more to say. Hitch is very well built and heavy duty. The finishing looks great in the vehicle, and the round tube is a perfect fit. Installation took 1hr:20min, and that is because I did not have one of the tools required to get the bumper pin out of the way, so had to improvise. etrailer video was paramount for me to complete the installation. I recommend you watch the video prior to installing yours. I am ready to tow and take our bikes for a ride. Thank you etrailer, for putting money back in my pocket!
This hitch looks great. Very low profile which nothing attached. I don’t have any specialized tools and very basic vehicle mechanical skills and I was down with installation in about an hour. Got this for adding a 60x24 cargo carrier on a 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport for some extra room for camping trips. Thank you etrailer for an amazing product!
First, let me say I'm very impressed with the whole delivery process. First I received automated notice of the order, typical, then I received an email with the tracking number when it shipped, somewhat typical. However, on the tracking email they supplied two "How To" video links that were specific for my personal vehicle, wow! I had a clear and concise instructional before the part even arrived! And, I didn't have to go find it on my own. Because of this great addition I had an idea of how much time, which tools and the general requirements for the task. I have to admit, it added to the excitement because my concern about what I may need to do was eliminated. In fact, I installed my unit the day it arrived. In my personal case, the steel was slightly sprung, probably from the welding. It took a little fight and some bumping with a mallet to get things going together. Once I had a few turns on every bolt I just took my time and did about 3 turns to each in a pattern. This was to ensure the bolts were somewhat evenly pulling everything to its final position. The part is a great fit for my Santa Fe. I will definitely recommend and shop with E-Trailer in the future. If you are considering this trailer hitch, I definitely recommend it.
This tow package is heavy duty has clean welds and quality paint. Overall fit is good and install using the instructions was straightforward. This thing is gonna pull and carry whatever I throw at it, looking forward to it. Only cons I found were: 1) the instructions did not list the correct wrench sizes for the hardware supplied, but that's an easy fix on the fly. 2) The kit is supplied with only (1) torque spacer/equalizer for the passenger side frame rail through bolts. The same type of spacer should be supplied with the drivers side mount as torquing through bolts to spec (110 ft lbs) against the stock frame box is potentially damaging to the frame of the car and distributing the load makes the car and tow package last longer under load.
Ryan S - 07/20/2020Easy to order and it came with everything I needed to put it on. Instructions were clear. Shipped fast too! I love that it’s low profile
Installed myself (I'm not much of a mechanic) - didn't find it outstandingly difficult, but did take me just shy of two hours (including a trip to the local Lowes to get a new 3/4 socket, see below). Looks good, feels solid & durable, will try it out soon & see how it works. Couple of notes to help future home mechanics: There's not enough room to do this without jacking up the car - have a jack & axle stands handy. You'll need to cut the passenger side plastic underpanel to accommodate the carriage bolts and nuts when you put it all back together. A deep 3/4" socket was necessary to torque up the carriage bolts. There's a nylon panel plug that obstructs one of the passenger side carriage bolts - a set of top-cutters made short work of it.
Paul C - 05/23/2020It's such a pleasure buying products from etrailer. Lightning quick service, how to videos and the product always works as promised. Thx for 15 yrs of great service
Larry G - 08/17/2020Got this hitch to be able to add a bike rack. Didn’t like the idea of having a rack that hooked on with straps, especially 3 bikes now and another 2 later. The product came really quick and please watch installation video before installing. Saves a lot of time and you learn a few tricks while watching video. The hardest party was the wiring. Direction were easy, but recommend having 2 people for the job. Helps a lot.
Well built. Easy installation. Directions were very complete. Only negative is that the receiver is under the bumper too far. Had to buy an extension for carrier to fit.
This trailer hitch receiver was PERFECT for our 2014 Santa Fe Sport. It installed fairly easily (just be sure to follow the video instructions eTrailer provides if you are not sure how to do it). Again, Roger was a GREAT customer service rep. Very courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful.
Installed it by myself with the help of a few buckets to hold it up while I got bolts started. Had to pound on it a little to get it aligned properly. I just OK alignment, but could have be the vehicle as much as the hitch. I found that putting in the upper long carriage bolts first was smart. The video I watched recommended putting in the lower bolts first. Looks good and appears to by sturdy and well made.
What an awesome experience. Ordering was simple trailer kept me informed about the delivery of my hitch. When I received my hitch it did not disappoint, very well made. Installing the hitch went pretty easy with the directions provided. Thank you etrailer.
Quality look excellent, very robust, I was quoted as much as $500 installed for a product that looked I inferior to this. A simple page of instructions would be nice. If anyone asks me about a hitch I know were I will send them.
Michael - 05/22/2020Easy to install. I did it in 30 mins. Looking at it on the car, it’s overkill. Class 2 would have been fine. That’s not saying anything negative about the product or service. I really wish there was 2 of the small bolt “bars” for carriage bolts. The passenger side seems more secure because that’s where the one bar goes. On the driver side there was some scary/cracking sounds when tightening the through frame carriage bolts. All in all I don’t ever see my car or me destroying the hitch, if for some reason I need another. I will definitely buy the exact same product.
This is a great trailer hitch. I only have one arm to install, because of stroke. It took me 3 times longer to install. It's on my suv , works and looks great. This is my second car i have installed etrailer hitches.
Easy installation everything lined up accordingly and wiring harness was simple plug and play. No problems with either after about a year of use. Would recommend these products
One year later and am happy as a lark! The hitch was easy to install and extremely easy to use. I keep the ball mount and pin in the storage compartment of the vehicle and it's always ready to use. The connector cover keeps the connector clean and accessible; and with the hitch cover, you don't even know the hitch is there. Great buy, great company, highly recommend.
Actually submitted my review for this hitch on the wireing harness review page. Robert was very helpful in helping me to complete my order. The hitch arrived much faster than I expected and thanks to the etrailer how to videos, it installed in a breeze. Looking forward to using it this summer with a small trailer.
Every hole lined up perfectly! Very simple install. I watched the installation video etrailer provided and got to work. Make sure you clean the holes well before using the screws and you should have no issues. Great product. Buy the wiring harness as well, it is totally worth the money and super easy to do as you install the hitch.
The hitch was bought so we could travel with bicycles. By following the instructions from etrailer the hitch receiver was installed on a Hyundai Santa Fe without any problems. With the help of a friend the installation took a little longer than I estimated, but we were in no hurry. It looks good carrying a Yakama platform bike rack and the back of the Santa Fe still looks nice and clean when the hitch is not in use.
Easy to install. The hardest thing was getting the rubber muffler hangers off ! (use lube) . Looks great and feels super sturdy. Now I’m just waiting for my bike rack to get off of back order!
looks good solid fairly easy to install --haven't towed with it yet
Service was great. Got the hitch in just a few days with free shipping. Received emails confirming purchase and shipping. Receiver appears to be well constructed, all mounting holes matched to my vehicle. Installation (Receiver only, I didn't add electric kit.) took me about an hour and a half, being the first time I've mounted a Receiver. I did need help when actually lifting and attaching the receiver at the same time. I'm 73, but I still think most people would need a helper when it comes to lifting the hitch and holding it in place to line up the holes. Oh, there was a video online that was well done and demonstrates step by step. Doing it myself saved me about $300, not bad for an hour and a half's work.
It bolted right up to my 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe. The video they posted was extremely helpful and accurate. I did it by myself, and lowering the exhaust a little to get it in was no problem. It works great and it looks perfectly correct on the vehicle!
Love our hitch... would recommend shopping with trailer.com. Products are described accurately... no guessing. There prices are comparable to competitors. The shipping was easy, on time, and in good shape upon arrival.
