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.

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.Etrailer does it again! Always timely delivery, always a great fit, and always ways to make putting the hitch on easy. Thanks for the wires to pull the carriage bolts through the frame and the nice instructions (including video for my vehicle type). When I need some hitch parts this is the place. Hitch and wiring purchased for 2012 Buick Enclave.
Jeff - 09/10/2020I ordered the car hitch for my Buick Enclave and it was delivered sooner than I expected. It is a well built hitch and it took me and a friend to install it in just a few minutes. It fit like a hand in a glove, very well aligned. I recommend etrailer for you hitch and trailer needs. A 5 star company.
Submitted the update. Great product, thanks for the followup. I ended up getting a second hitch to go on my wife's SUV so I could move the bike rack over to use on family trips.
Everything worked well and only took me about 45 minutes to install not counting watching the video which I did before purchasing. Very solid steel frame. I am primarily using it for bike rack and small trailers. The wire that comes in the kit to pull the carriage bolt and washer through the tube was awesome. I did have to jiggle it a little bit at first to get it to slide through.
The hitch receiver fit just fine on my 2017 Traverse. I found that I needed to rotate the plastic spare tire shroud just a little bit in order for the hitch to sit flush on the frame over the bolt holes. The shroud has a plastic buckle that was positioned right at the center of the rear bumper which was getting in the way. I also lowered the exhaust by removing the two rubber hangers at the muffler and the next hanger up the exhaust as shown in the video which really made it easier to access the bolt holes. My Traverse required the carriage bolts because it didnt have the weld nuts in the center. The included fishing wires worked great and allowed me to position the carriage bolts with ease. I was able to install the receiver by myself without lifting the vehicle in about 45 minutes. I am very pleased with the product.

At age 71, I installed this high quality piece of hardware (that was a perfect fit) on my 2016 Chevrolet Traverse. Unlike some of the "Handyman Heroes" reviews who claim to have installed theirs in only 20 minutes, it took me about 90 minutes. However, using jack stands and working flat on my back, I followed the directions and lowered the exhaust so that I could properly torque all the fasteners. It went well and was easy to do with the great "etrailer" directions, a good video, and a complete kit of all the necessary parts. Regards
Install was very easy even by myself. Definitely had to remove 3 of the exhaust hangers and drop the muffle down onto a jack stand to get access to the bolts on the passenger side but that was not difficult. The fish wires for the center bolts worked great. Only trouble I had was cleaning out the holes on the drivers side. It took a lot of WD40 and an old brush to clean the holes out until I could get hit wbolts to thread all the way in. My wife is very excited to get the bike carrier installed and loaded up. Would definitely recommend this to others.
So far the trailer hitch has been just fine. It is installed, but I have not had to use it much, yet. I did use it on a short travel to test the pulling of my trailer and it did just fine, so far. Thank you for your assistance.
Bryant H - 10/10/2020The trailer hitch fit perfect as described! Great product the installation video was very helpful and made the installation easy, it took less than an hour to install. I'm very satisfied!!!!
Steven - 02/27/2021Very pleased with the trailer hitch we ordered from etrailer, It was very easy to install on our 2009 Saturn Outlook. Looks great
The video instructions made the installation on these products a breeze. The quality is outstanding and the price was the best I found in the market. This was one of the best products I've purchased.
Edgar - 10/06/2020Great product!! Installed just like video said and took about 20 minutes. Everything was included I didn't have to purchase anything extra. I would recommend this produce to anyone needing a great trailer hitch.
Absolutely love the way this hitch finish looked on my GMC Acadia very easy to instal my husband installed it in about 15 minutes and no need to move the muffler either . We plan on using it for our daughter travel ball equipment to put in our little cargo trailer .
Installed this hitch in less than 30 minutes. WOW! Came with a spring wire to fish 2 of the mounting bolts into holes which I think were the greatest invention yet. Never thought mounting a hitch would be so easy. They even provided videos to help.
This is a great trailer hitch. We get a lot of use out of it and have had for one year at this point. The tilt is especially helpful for when you have to get into the hatch/trunk area of my SUV. Very easy to attach to/from my car that even my 12 yr old can do it alone. Recommend using a tension bar crossbar adaptor for any bikes that do not have a straight bar on the top of the frame (ie. women's or kid's bikes that have a diagonal bar). If you don't have one for each bike, it's tight to get it on the end of the trailer.
I have a 2008 Saturn Outlook I got the hitch in the mail today. Installed the hitch in less than an hour. When installing the hitch use jack stands to hold up the hitch and the exhaust. And when taking out the exhaust hangers use a lubricating oil, like what it said in the video. If in the future i were to buy another vehicle and it didn't have a hitch i would buy it from etrailer.
This tow hitch is perfect for our GMC Acadia Limited! It was easy for my Father and Husband to install within a half hour. It has been a god's send in getting our luggage box on and off easily for many family trips. Oh and the price was amazing and the cheapest we've found around.
I installed this hitch by myself. using a hydraulic jack to ease it up under and up to position. Note: loose and drop spare tire, it helps in the giving enough space to work. Loosing the exhaust was not necessary as long as you use a ratchet enclosed wrench.
I order this on 3/24 and received it on 3/26 super fast delivery which was awesome! I watched the Installation video which made this a very simple job for myself it only took about 25 minutes to install. This is on a 2013 Chevrolet Traverse and everything looks great!
Super...start to finish! New customer, will continue to be a customer. Ordered on the 5th...on my front porch on the 8th. Install went just as shown. Great find for me.....etrailer.com
I was a little skeptical about going this route but I'm really glad I did! Everything was easy to install and everyone was really helpful when it came to answering my questions. Everything shipped properly and showed up quickly. I definitely recommend getting one of these hitches!!
Good quality material. Easy to install. My Acadia did not come equipped with a hitch and this fit up perfectly to the factory holes.
Hitch looks good, and went in easyish. One man installation and did not drop exhaust.I'm over 70, so it can't be that hard. However, very disappointed in that the body panel did not fit back in place. Photos on web site claim it did, but no. That should be taken down as it is misleading.
Alan - 08/16/2020etrailer has the best customer service and shipment tracking of any online retailer that I’ve used, including Amazon. The products have always been top quality.
It wasn't as difficult that I had thought that it would be. Thank you Sarah for your assistance. It was easier with 2 people. I will definitely recommend your products to my Friends. Thank You Again
