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.
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 hitch has been excellent. This style of hitch requires removing body paneling and cutting a slot in the rear underbody cover. This is to be expected and is not a big deal. What is a big deal though, was that this hitch lined up will all mounting holes perfectly! Overall, this is a great hitch.
No problems on the install fit like a glove. The only problem was doing it with one person.
I ended up strapping one side to my floor jack and worked just fine.
Thank you for making a fine product!

Hi Sterling! Your install looks great. It is much easier with a buddy for sure. It seems like you got the job done solo though. Now the question is, what are you using it for?
Took much longer than I anticipated to install, but it looks so clean. Would definitely recommend this hitch over the others it sits well enclosed and perfectly flush on my 2013 Sienna
Great instructional videos for installation on a 2015 Sienna XLE, looks great, hidden nicely under the plastic under cover. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to add a hitch receiver.

The hitch is hardly noticeable under your Sienna, Rafi! What are you going to use the hitch for?
Installed same day as delivery. Fit perfectly. 2013 Toyota Sienna. Two hour installation myself. Installation videos Very helpful. Thank you ????

Hey! Install looks great, John. What are you going to use the hitch for?
The trailer arrived fast and in great condition. Bolts for hitch were taped to the hitch securely which I appreciate(far too often the hardware is sliding around loose in packaging, and occasionally is poorly packaged.
Installation took a little over an hour, and removing the exhaust was honestly the hardest part. For safety reasons, I would HIGHLY recommend using tire ramps to hold up your Sienna instead of a traditional hydraulic jack system.
I absolutely love the look of the hitch now that it is installed, and the stability of the fit is phenomenal. DIY is definitely the way to go, to avoid paying astronomical fees for U-Haul or a dealership to install it for you. I will definitely come back to this site if I need other high quality accessories for my sienna or highlander.

Helping folks tackle the DIY is our ideal outcome for sure - kudos to you for shopping around a little before booking an installer and taking on the project yourself! Since this is on a van, are you going to be using the hitch for a cargo carrier?
This etrailer hitch is well made heavy duty construction. I am really happy with the purchase. This can be done by 1 person but you need extra tools for the install. Example a floor jack,2x4 for balancing the hitch. With this new hitch I have extra ground clearance because the hitch is hidden. This will tow a 5x10 enclosed trailer with ease. The rear plastic cover you have to cut in half and shorten the screws that fasten the plastic cover down. Because the screws are too long and will scratch the paint on the hitch causing it to rust. I would recommend this etrailer hitch to everyone. Thank you again etrailer you have the best towing equipment. Thank you
Fantastic product, great customer service. Lauren was super helpful in guiding me to the right product. Prices are very reasonable. Great experience overall. (Word to the wise, if your hitch is for a heavy bike rack, get the 500lb tongue weight just to be safe.)
I mainly use it to carry bikes (3). I installed it based on the video by myself with some helps. It serve my usage well.
I’d give it 5 stars, but one of the bolts that came in the package wouldn’t thread into the frame. I tried all 6 spots and it was definitely the bolt. All the other bolts worked in each spot. I had to run to the hardware store to buy a new bolt. Thankfully they had the specs listed in the directions. Everything else was great, just bummed about the one messed up bolt. The bolt from the hardware store went in just fine, it was 5mm longer but that didn’t appear to matter.
There is a picture of the bolt, it looks fine but it simply wouldn’t thread. It wouldn’t thread into the little thing at the hardware store either they have next to the bolts to make sure you have the correct size.

A year out and working great. No problems at all.

Perfect fit for my Sienna. The instructions said to partly remove the exhaust, but the exhaust actually helped to hold the hitch up so I could fasten the other side. Then all I needed was an extension to bolt above the exhaust.
Pretty simple to install, I didnt have to loosen the exhaust pipe with a friends help. The video that etrailer provided made it simple for me to install.
Unfortunately, life got busy after ordering this receiver. It looked well designed, but once I installed it 18 months later, it didn't fit very well. Because we don't plan to use the full class III capacity, the 4 bolts that lined up should work.

It looks to me like this hitch was slightly flexed when you received it. This is pretty easily fixable. You can use a two by four and or a vise to bend it slightly back into position. I have a link below with more detailed instructions on how to correct this. Please let me know if this helps.

The hitch fit perfectly, was easy to install and looks and works great. I would highly recommend it and Etrailer as well.
Reasonable price for a concealed hitch easy installation. It's been a year and no issues.

The hitch receiver fit my 2017 Sienna perfectly. The step by step video was great. I didn’t have to loosen my exhaust (you just need a long ratchet extension to tighten bolts) and was able to put it up by myself with using car jack stands. Very pleased with the product.
I love the instructional video, hitch reviews, and installation instructions! The hitch was delivered quickly and it was easy to install after viewing the installation video.
Repeat customer here. The people at etrailer are something special!!! My favorite thing about etrailer is their high quality, high value and personable video reviews, comparisons and instructions for my model vehicle.
Shipping was stupid fast! Installation was a breeze because of the step by step how to video, did it in under 75 minutes. I got this hitch on sale too and saved a ton of money. Unbelievable!!!
Last but not least, this puppy is truly behind the bumper and hidden, I love that. And not worried about scrubbing the ground like i have in the past on a different model van and a different hitch. Thank you etrailer and great products and great service!

I still love this hitch! Have used it a bunch on trips with a cargo carrier also from etrailer and with a pull behind trailer to pick up some dirt. Has been a great return on investment. Thank you etrailer for your services.
Installed in a matter of a couple of hours by myself. I used a QuickJack to raise the car up. Otherwise, I would have had a time getting under there. Also used a floor jack with some 4x4s to raise the hitch in place, and then secured with a tie down before getting the 1st couple of bolts in. The image for the cutting of the undertray is not very accurat; you'll need to cut more than shown. Hauled my dirt bike with a HF carrier and had no issues. Definitely recommend this hitch and believe it was worth the extra work to install the hidden version.

No complaints. Still glad I went with the hidden version, both for aesthetics and ground clearance issues. Will probably get another for one of my other vehicles at some point.
Hitch was relatively easy to install. It did require some small cutting of the underpanel but nothing major. Solid and not issues with the finish or performance. Working as expected.

Awesome! I'm happy to hear you've been able to carry whatever you have without worry :) What all have you been towing the last year?
Great price and very fast shipment for such a huge box. Well packaged and easy to unpack. (I used the cardboard box to lay on as I did the install!). Directions were excellent. Only difference for my 2013 Toyota Sienna LXE was that all three bolt holes (In each side of frame) were the ones factory taped (Rubber gasket hole does not get used— and I taped over that one). It was tedious, but not hard. I woundn’t call this a 9/10 difficulty. Even cutting the plastic undercover is super easy. The head scratcher was finding out how to pull the bumper off it’s clips after unscrewing it. Overall I was very impressed with the product and the ease of installation. I really LOVE how the bar is hidden behind the bumper and all you really see is the receiver. That is SO worth the few bucks extra from basic models where you do see the entire crossbar. I also love that this is painted satin, not gloss black. Looks extra cool.

All good. Super sturdy and good looking. Holding up very well.
This hitch was bought & installed on our 2020 Toyota sienna XLE AWD.
It was shipped and received at my house very fast, impressive. It came well packed with no damage.
My install was a little different than the paper instructions. My under body panel looks different than the instructions but I just held it up and cut out what needed to be removed & it looks great!
If you have one of these vans it’s well worth the money and time to install one, it sits 1 3/4” in from the bumper face. It’s very nice hitch!

A year later and its great! Absolutely seamless, I forget it’s there. Walking past, getting groceries or the stroller, I don’t even think about it until I need to tow. I have zero regrets in buying it.
Great product.. Fit perfect and installation was a breeze.
Just installed it so I don’t have the frame of reference as a user yet. Installed exactly as video showed (2012 Sienna). I had problems removing muffler hanger so I just worked around it. Unless you can pop that off easily, save the time and wiggle hitch in place around the tailpipe. I had help for 3 min from a guy that held the driver side in place while I positioned the passenger side. Fit and finish look great, holes lined up, bolts went in well. As long as it doesn’t fall off the frame (no reason it should), it’s a well earned 5 stars. Only hitch I found that is truly hidden. Worth the extra $ and installation time to not have that bar visible across the back of the van.

Product still performing as expected. No rust or wear and I continue to be happy with its hidden profile compared to other stupid, ugly hitches I see on other Sienna minivans. Then again, we are drivers of minivans, so should we really be giving any concern for appearance?
Great hitch! Only issue was that the rear screws hit the hitch after installing scratching it, so I cut them to eliminate the point on them. I also marked the belly pan before removal so I could measure and cut it to fit tighter around the hitch! Perfect!!! I only cut 3 1/2 inch width for clearance around the hitch and only 4 inches depth!
