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 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.Received my hitch a day or two earlier than promised so that was a great start. The hitch lined-up perfectly with the holes on my 2005 Toyota Highlander, therefore, installing the 6 bolts was simple. Installation of the wiring harness was just as simple. Watch the video of the installation which is very easy to follow and installing the wiring harness is no problem. I routed the harness plug through a rubber knock-out located at the lower left side of my vehicle. This method required that I cut the wire, pass it through a slit in the rubber knock-out, and then solder and tape the wires back together again. Replace the rubber knock-out to keep water from coming into the vehicle and your are ready to go. This method makes a cleaner job b/c the wire and plug hang right next to the hitch, eliminating the necessity of draping the wire and plug under the rear hatch door. Overall, a pleasant experience! Great product + great service = A great looking job and a happy customer!!! 531119
As an urbanite with little mechanical experience I was a little hesitant in trying to install my own hitch. Limited research *suggested* it wasn't difficult, but .... I ordered this hitch through etailer's excellent site for my 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. It came promptly and well packaged with straightforward instructions. If I was prepared with the right tools, it would have taken me 10 minutes to install. My first 'hitch' was with removing the factory installed tow hooks. I had to get a mechanic (during an oil change) to help remove most of the slightly rusted and difficult-to-reach bolts. I cleaned out the holes with some steel wire, used a couple of milk crates and shimmed the hitch to the frame. The hitch was the exact size; thankfully, no prying or pulling was needed to get the holes to line up. My next snafu was that I didn't have the right metric socket (17mm) to really tighten the bolts, so I had to borrow from a neighbor. Space was tight, especially near the muffler. Either loosening the muffler or having a good extension for your wrench would have made the task easier. I used some locktite just in case when I tightened each bolt.This seems like a great product at a great value. I'll see how it works for the 4 bike rack I plan to get. Set up was fairly straightforward, and with two people and the right tools, would have taken maybe ten minutes instead of the forty or fifty I wound up spending. 531035
Easy to install, heavy duty.this is my 2nd one from etrailer. now I need to find a reduce from 2" to1-1/4" for my bike rack. 830113
Receiver install was easier than expected. Fit perfectly 830042
Fit perfectly, installation was not dif ficult. 824829
Perfect fit and easy install. Comes with all the required hardware (6 bolts and washers). Speedy delivery too. 824315
Overall my experience was excellent. The videos helped me fit the hitch and wiring. The job was done in less than an hour. I recommend looking at videos and keeping them close especially during wiring. Not difficult but get details right first time to avoid going back! One caveat with this. I wish it was in bold letters that hitch pin does not come with the three mounted ball. I put the whole thing together and because I did not buy the hitch pin( thought it came with three ball mount) I could not use the hitch straightaway. You would think they should add small amount of money to ball mount and throw in hitch pin in the box!!!! 820948
Perfect 819141
The only concern I have with my order is that when I installed the rack to the hitch it was not stable. When I drive the rack seem to move around without the bikes even on the rack. I have to figure out if i need another part to secure the rack. Overall I am happy with the product and the price it was sold for. 822065
fantastic. Delivered and connected it to my vehicle fast and easily. 817586
I was able to install the hitch easily and rather quickly with no problems. 808622
Excellent experience with etrailer. It was simple to order the right product, had it shipped directly to my mechanic who installed it for $100, and have enjoyed the benefits of the hitch many times in the last year. Very pleased with the product and buying experience. 807524
Replacement trailer hitch for one which had seen too many seasons of winter weather where road salt had attacked the old hitch. New hitch was a perfect fit and included the correct fasteners. In less than 30 minutes I had the old hitch off and the new hitch in place with the fasteners torqued to spec. Shipment of new hitch was well packaged, fast and arrived a day earlier than expected which was a pleasant surprise. The informational videos and instructions are very helpful when tackling new projects for trailers & related equipment. 804383

Fit was perfect, installation was relatively easy, looks great and price was reasonable. Definitely recommend. 775050
Super product. I had a guy at the service station put the car on the lift. $50 bucks and install in 20 minutes. Dude had a summer job at [trailer rental]. Bolts and holes were perfectly fit. Had the rack on my Lexus SUV for the last year. Thanks 774656
The website was very easy to navigate. The videos to show insulation were very helpful. The additional information in regards to additional recommended products was helpful. I would recommend this to anybody looking for a light kit and hitch system. 774171
Product was received on good condition a few days after order (really faster than I expected with the free shipping option). Very beefy and looks well-made. Great installation instructions too! The only issue was that one of the mounting arms was at a slight angle compared to the bolt holes in the car frame. It took a few whacks with a sledge hammer to enable the last two bolts to be installed. 772426
Fast Delivery, Perfect fit, installed in less than 2 hours 764905
Very happy with my purchase and service. The installation video was short and sweet and on point. Package arrived in good shape with all the needed hardware. Took my time and had it installed in under an hour by myself. I am going to use this hitch for a bike rack so I don't have to keep loading and unloading my bike into my SUV. Thanks Etrailer, well done. 764182
My hitch was delivered on the day it was supposed to be. It was quite easy to install and fit perfectly! Install time was well under an hour with my neighbor assisting me. The hitch looks very well built and looks good on my Lexus. We can now haul our bikes around on the carrier. Happy customer!! 736562
Was super easy to install... (6 bolts provided) all you need is a 17mm to tighten and someone to help hold it up while you insert the bolts! I managed to even install alone in 20 min or less. Super affordable, Super easy installation!! 732723
Amazingly fast shipping, especially given the fact it came so far and it's holiday shipping season. The hitch and wiring installed in under 45 minutes, everything looks great. Everything is well constructed out of heavy material, I'm looking forward to using my cargo carrier on it! 732121
