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.

All of a sudden, my 2014 Chevy van dealer installed hitch started showing wear at the towing pin holes. What was round was starting to mushroom and become more oval. My local only trailers type shop wanted $500 plus to install new hitch. etrailers price was way cheaper and reviews lived up to their comments. It was easy and all holes aligned. You better have a floor jack and consider your options on the plug location.

Nice easy install on my '07 AWD Express MotoVan. All hardware included. Nice stout hitch.

Really nice hitch.......fit Perfectly......took about 45 minutes to install...Easy......Almost all of the hitch is covered by the plastic bumper, only the very center even shows at all....Looks like a CUSTOM hitch! This went on my 2010 GMC Conversion Van......Look at the final pictures...

Easy installation. Fits perfect!

If you order this for a Chevrolet Express van you will need the 1” x 3” spacers . The spacers that come as standard hardware will spin in the frame and you will have trouble getting the bolts tight. Once you get the right spacers it is an easy install and the hitch is very nice. If anyone from etrailer is reading this you should change the hardware that ships with the hitch to the 1” x 3” spacers.

2002 Chevrolet Express Van

I needed to replace my trailer hitch. The price was right, delivery was ahead of schedule and the all the parts were there. I need to wait until the weather clears to install but I don't anticipate any problems as the bolt pattern matches the trailer hitch I removed.



by:

Great product! Easily bolts on and works like a charm! Shipping was flawless and fast A+



by:

Perfect fit, easy to install…..



by:

Great experience!



by:

Exactly what we needed I was not only surprised it arrived so quickly, I was amazed the hitch was so easy to install. I bolted right up to the underside with the hardware included into the holes predrilled into the frame by the vehicle manufacturer. If you have and worries about it being difficult, put them aside. it took us less than 20 minutes.



by:
2001 GMC Savana Van

Easy 5-10 minute installation. Everything lined up perfectly!
Recommendation: make spacers longer to catch the inside frame, so if you accidentally nick the bolt threads and the nut is hard to turn, it will catch and you don't have to try and hold the bolt.



by:

Bolted on nice, it pulls great. Would purchase another. Quick delivery and excellent follow up. It's hard to get a good product and service. Thank you, Dave Z



by:

This hitch bolts right in place without any modifications. It was a quick and simple install. It's also made in USA which is the reason I picked it over others. Good quality and well made.

While not specifically listed for it, I installed this on a 2005 GMC Savana School Bus Cutaway. The width was perfect and minimal drilling was required. Since it was a modified Savana it did require a one inch cut out be added on the bottom of the massive school bus bumper for the hitch as well as a 13" hitch to provide the needed length. In the end it worked prfectly.



by:

So far I have hauled horse trailers, car trailers, junk trailers and more. This hitch has worked effortlessly with my Express Van to expand my capabilities. Easy to install, I have not had to worry about it ever since. And with a load rating of 10,000 pounds my van will fail before the hitch is exceeded.

Fast, fast shipping. Did I say fast? Yep. Easy to install, simple instructions, well-constructed.

Year later still great.

The trailer hitch was top notch, very impressed. Unfortunately, the packaging was NOT. The receiver hitch was shipped loose in the box and the flanges that bolt to the frame of the vehicle busted through both ends of the box. The powder coat was scraped off one side due to this. The hitch needed to either be wrapped better or cardboard added to the box ends to keep this from happening.

The electrical receptacle I ordered at the same time was also loose out of the packaging, inside the box bouncing around with the heavy 4" rise ball mount. I was actually surprised that none of the fasteners were lost due the gaping holes in the box or that the electrical connector wasn't damaged, but fortunately, this time everything was okay.

I think this is a great company with great products, it's just very unfortunate that their shipping department doesn't take as much care in the delivery of those products.

  • Dimensions of the etrailer Hitch item # e98861 for a 2019 GMC Savana Cargo and Passenger Van
    The etrailer Hitch item # e98861 measures 40 wide from center hole to center hole, 11-1/4" from front to back, and the top of the receiver sits 1" below where it mounts to the frame. I have linked a diagram below so you can see the measurements. However, if you are driving a cutaway van the etrailer item # e98861 is most likely not the hitch you need. This hitch is designed for the 2019 GMC Savana passenger or cargo vans only. These are the vans you see repair places using or sometimes...

  • What Easy-to-Install Trailer Hitch do You Recommend for My 2021 Chevy Express Cargo Van?
    For an easy-to-install hitch that fits your 2021 Chevy Express Van, I recommend the etrailer Hitch - 2" # e98861. The reason why I recommend the etrailer hitch apart from its economical price tag is because of its drill-free installation. Some other hitches, like the Draw-Tite # 41946, do require drilling in order to install to your vehicle. The drill-free trait of the etrailer hitch makes the install much easier. With the hitch, you will be able to attach accessories and cargo. If you...

  • 2010 GMC Savana Cutaway Chassis Trailer Hitch Options
    We do have some trailer hitch options for your 2010 GMC Savana Van but since it has the Cutaway Chassis there are no custom fit options that bolt right up to the frame so we will be looking at universal fits. For a universal fit option that is at least as strong as a Class IV or V receiver I recommend checking out the Buyers Products # 3371801051 which is a weld-on installation and comes with a 62" crosstube that can be cut to length. I recommend having a professional welder look at this...

  • Recommended Hitch for 2020 Chevy Express Van Cutaway Chassis Used for Shuttle Bus
    Buyer's products offers the # 3371801102 which is a fit for the 2020 Express Cutaway Van Chassis, as opposed to the # e98861 which is a fit for the cargo/passenger vans only. The hitch has a capacity of 12K towing/ 1200 tongue weight and isn't intended for use with weight distribution. The hitch offers 6-1/2 inches of drop, to conclusively determine if it'll work on your Shuttle Bus, you'll want to measure straight downward from the frame member at the bumper to determine if the hitch...

  • Trailer Hitch For A 2021 Chevrolet Express Cargo Van
    Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98861 does in fact fit your 2021 Chevrolet Express cargo van. If you need wiring, we have the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 55540. This is an easy to install wiring harness that plugs directly into your factory wiring harness for quick installation. The reason wiring is needed is, to provide your trailer with turn signals and brake lights, that way you are safe on the road and in legal compliance.

  • Is etrailer Trailer Hitch for a 2004 GMC Savana Van Rated for 10K Towing
    Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98861 for your 2004 GMC Savana Van is rated for 10K towing and that's bumped up to 12K if you're using a weight distribution kit. I do also recommend verifying the towing weigh capacity of your van in your owner's manual to ensure it's rated high enough to safely tow the trailer as well. We try to refrain from posting torque specs directly on our site as those can change from time to time if the hardware is updated, but you can find the current...

  • Trailer Hitch fit For 2008 Chevy Express Van 1500
    Trailer hitch fits are very specific to make and model of vehicles. It's very often that a hitch for a vehicle will only fit for a handful of years before the manufacturer of the vehicle changes enough of it to require a new fit. So you'll need a new hitch for your 2008 Chevy Express 1500. For that we have the etrailer.com hitch part # e98861 which has plenty of towing capacity and will bolt right up to your van frame.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2002 Chevy School Bus
    We may have a hitch for your 2002 Chevy Express school bus but I can't recommend you use the hitch you mentioned as that is for the passenger and cargo van and not a school bus. The only hitch receiver we can recommend for a bus is a universal application that can be welded on or bolted on, and depends on the outside-to-outside frame width of your bus. A perfect option for a large variety of frame widths is the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 72" Wide # 13703.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2005 Chevy Express Van Towing Horse Trailer
    Horses and horse trailers are pretty heavy. Your best option is to go with the highest hitch classification available for the vehicle. If you have a 2005 Chevy Express Van the Draw Tite hitch part # 41946 would be what I recommend as it has plenty of towing capacity at 10,000 lb capacity, is a custom fit, and is priced good.

  • Options for Hitches on a 2006 Blue-Bird Micro Bus
    The etrailer Trailer Hitch, part # e98861, is only compatible with the standard 2006 GMC Savana Van, not the cutaway like your Blue-Bird Micro Bus. Unfortunately, there are no custom fit hitches for your bus. Therefore, your best option is to use an RV Universal Hitch, like part # C13702. This Curt hitch is expandable so it can be bolted on or welded to a range of frames from 18 - 51 inches with a gross towing weight of 5000 pounds.

The Curt # 55540 is designed for Express vans that don't have the factory tow package, so if your van didn't have the tow package you will need to use this harness.

    The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98861 is an excellent option for a 2017 Chevrolet Express Van and will work on both passenger and cargo models.It features bolt-on installation taking most only 30 minutes or so with just common hand tools.

Then for a hitch the etrailer hitch # e98861 is also a fit for your 2019 Chevy Express van.

    As long as you have your standard passenger seats, or perhaps benches, you have a passenger van. We don't have a way to look this up using your VIN. If it looks like the passenger van with nothing in the back because it is used for cargo then it is a cargo van. If you have a Savana that is a bus or box truck or anything else not resembling a van it is the cutaway chassis model. More than likely you have your standard passenger or cargo van. Assuming that is the case, you can use the Curt...

This is a Class V weld-on hitch with a 16,000 lb towing capacity. Keep in mind, you will be limited by the capacity of your motorhome. This hitch comes with 7" tall mounting brackets, but 16" are also available # 41990-16. I recommend taking this to a certified welder for installation.

The problem with using a hitch like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98861 is that it is designed for the cargo and passenger van, not the cutaway, so it has a small hitch drop in order to clear the factory bumper.

The first thing you need is a custom fit 4-way harness with the Curt # 55540 which you will then convert to a 7-way with the part # 37185.
