Rugged, Matte Black Finish

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.

I just installed my trailer hitch a couple days ago on my 2017 Chevrolet Silverado pickup and it was very easy. I watched the 5 min. video prior to installation and it was exactly as the video showed. With the help of my brother-in-law we had it installed from start to finish in about 20 min. The quality of construction looked good and should suit my needs completely and the price was great. My local Chevrolet dealership wanted $300 just for the hitch and $50 to install it and it only cost me $150 to buy it on your site and No installation cost. I would recommend this site to anyone.

Excellent fit and finish. The listing is a bit misleading, it says all hardware included but it is not, it makes you reuse factory bolts which weren't on my truck (bought used and looks to be removed by previous owner) so I recommend to check to see if the factory bolts are installed on your truck. Customer service was excellent, they were going to take the item back on return so I could order the draw tite hitch which comes with the bolts but I opted to buy the bolts ($36) at the dealership. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from e-trailer again!

I submitted a five star rating and I'm extremely happy with the fastest delivery in the easy installation. The only problem I had was trying to download the Finish photo where's my rating and for some reason it wouldn't download it after three tries. Thank you for everything and I highly recommend etrailer to anyone. Again I gave it a 5-star rating thank you for everything.

Lacking could have been a little better. Hitch busted through the box and was a bit marked up. Easy install was installed in less than 20 minutes

Received the hitch receiver within 3 days after ordering. All the parts were there and instructions were clear and easy. I'm a retired,not that mechanically oriented and slightly built 65 year old and I installed it within an hour after it was delivered. Now ready for a travel trailer and fishing!

Before the product, some words on the service. I had multiple interactions with a customer service queen named Nicki (sp?) and she was awesome. Super knowledgeable about the products and about navigating the website (which was easy), and actually listened to my questions rather than telling me what she thought I should hear. Give her a raise and have her train people.

Now the product: I ordered late in the day Tuesday and my shipment arrived Thursday about noon. I watched the installation video already, so I went to it. Took me about 30 minutes to install the hitch and another 3 min. to install the 7-way/4-way plug my truck needed, all by my lonesome. I have all the tools needed and have been accused of being handy, but the install was exactly as easy as the video showed. Two people and a lift would be great, but putting a 2x6 on a floor jack and putting the hitch on the 2x6 worked great to lift it into position. Jacked right up, putting the factory studs in the holes. Wiring plug is idiotproof, so nothing else to say on that.

Only head scratcher is the recommended torque specs on the instruction sheet. I followed the [manufacturer's specifications] but I could easily get another 1/4 to 1/2 turn plus on all fasteners after I hit the mark. Maybe a response to me and something in FAQs might help clarify on this.

Overall, a terrific buying experience. No complaints yet, but I only used it to pull a few small trees out this afternoon. I presume it will pull my boat and trailer just fine, and the bolts will not get loose. But my torque concern will mean I'll have to keep an eye on it. Good work, etrailer.com

I did speak with our in house engineer, and another hitch manufacturer for verification and the torque specs are based on federal standards. The hitch hardware should only be torque to the specifications, and not beyond because it can be over torqued and can break or damage the hardware if it is over torqued.

Website very easy to operate and fubd exactly the right part to fit my truck/trailer !!! Videos were very helpful even telling me what sockets and wrenches I needed to complete install by myself and Im a carpenter not really mechanically gifted. Will definitely use etrailer.com again without hesitation!!

The 1st hitch somehow got lost in transit through UPS. It took over 2 weeks to have the issue looked into after not being delivered and etrailer requesting a search by UPS. Once a 2nd hitch was approved to reship, I followed the tracking up to the truck being on our street. When I went out to meet the driver I was concerned by the appearance of the being damaged, but because of the strong design of the weldment and the way the hardware was heavily taped to the hitch by the collector at etrailer, everything was fine and was able to get it installed on my truck with no problems.

The trailer hitch is great and bolted on perfectly.

2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

This product was a great purchase for my application!
etrailer made it easy to compare several different options that were specific to my truck, and it was easy to select the one with the tow ratings I needed for my customers needs..The model I selected was actually rated to surpass the load ratings of even other more expensive alternatives elsewhere .., couldn't be happier with the fit, finish and appearance of the hitch.
They shipped promptly and even assisted me very promptly in clearing up a question I had regarding the hitch I purchased .
Shipping was fast, the pricing was great and I will absolutely be a customer again soon.
Thanks to all on the team at etrailer for a great purchase and for solving my question so quickly too!
Best regards ,

This hitch was as advertised. The hardest part was moving the spare tire out of the way. It took about 35 minutes to install and wipe the dirt out of my eyes.
Well worth the price.

  • Durable 2" Hitch Receiver Recommendation for a 2016 Chey Silverado 1500
    Thank you for reaching out! I recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98860 for your 2016 Chey Silverado 1500 for 2 reasons; it is a Class IV receiver and it has our matte black powder coat on it. The Class IV receiver rating means it's more of a heavy duty option than the standard Class III 2" hitches and then our matte black powder coat has proven to resist the elements and damage from road debris better than the classic glossy black finish you see on every other...

  • 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness For 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 Base
    Yes, to power trailer lights with your 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 you will need a 4-way flat trailer connector, and your Sierra should have a round plug under the truck and behind the bumper like you see in the accompanying photo (though it won't be hanging down exactly like that). Assuming you do have that plug, you can use a simple plug-in connector, which is the following part number: - T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118384 And to prevent corrosion on the...

  • Would Trailer Hitch from 2011 Silverado 1500 also Fit 2018 Model
    The 2011 and 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 models were different enough that the hitch fits had to change. So for example, the # e98849 fits the 2011 but not the 2018 and the # e98860 fits the 2018 but not the 2011.

  • Determining Correct Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
    The difference between 1500LD and the standard 1500 is the LD is the 2018 body style, where the standard 1500 is the new body style. If your truck is the older 2018 body style then you will need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13175 which has a 600lb tongue weight rating and 6000lbs trailer weight rating or 1000lb tongue weight rating and 10000lb trailer weight rating if using a weight distribution hitch.

  • Towing Capacity for 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 with 5.3L Engine and 3.08 Axle Ratio
    I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 with the 5.3L V8 engine and 3.08 axle ratio and it lists a maximum trailer weight of 6,500 pounds if you have the 2WD model or 6,200 pounds if you have 4WD. I do still recommend verifying this in your copy of the manual or by visiting a local Chevy dealer with your VIN. If you are looking to tow a standard bumper pull trailer and don't yet have a hitch installed I recommend the etrailer.com Class...

  • Recommended Class IV Trailer Hitch for 2018 Chevy Silverado HD New Body Style
    The etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # E98860 is not a confirmed fit for the 2018 Heavy Duty 2500 or 3500 Silverado. It is only a fit for the Light Duty 1500 models. If you are looking for a Class IV hitch for the Heavy Duty trucks, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class IV - 2" # C14010 which is for an 8 foot bed or # C14009 for a 6-1/2 foot bed. These are very strong hitch options confirmed to fit the new body style.

  • How to Tell if 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 OEM Hitch Can Work with Weight Distribution
    Hey Paul, thanks for reaching out! The only way your Curt weight distribution system will increase the weight capacity for your truck is if the sticker on your truck hitch shows a higher rating for weight distribution on the sticker. If your hitch doesn't have that higher rating, then I recommend replacing your etrailer hitch with the Class IV etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98860 which has that higher rating. Just make sure your truck can handle the higher rating and you'll be good...

  • Recommended Hitch for 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500
    I think for the most part the 2015 Silverado 1500 had at least a 12,000-lbs towing capacity, so if your hitch is underrated then you could likely just swap out for a hitch like the etrailer Class IV Hitch with 2" Receiver # e98860, which has a 10,000-lbs capacity. You will want to consult your vehicle's owner's manual for the most accurate towing capacity and tongue weight capacity for your truck, but if your hitch isn't maximizing the capacities that you can carry/tow then upgrading the...

  • Recommended Front Mount Trailer Hitch for a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
    Kevin, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98860 can not be installed in the front. You'd have to use a front mount trailer hitch like the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31069 which is designed to be installed in the front. This hitch has a 500 lb vertical load limit, a 9,000 lb line pull capacity, and a GTW capacity of 5,000 lbs.
