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.

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.The installation of this hitch is very easy. My GMC Terrain is a 2015 so the side mounting holes were very rusty.FYI the person who attached the weld nuts to this vehicle was obviously Intoxicated none of the are centered in with the hole in the frame and none sit flat against the frame so they sit at a bit of an angle. This is not the fault of the hitch just a heads up to others. My solution was to screw a size smaller tap into the hole this does several things partially cleans out the threads clears hole all the way through and will give you an idea at what angle the weld nut is positioned. Then start the proper sized tap at that angle so as not to cross thread the nut. Next use the supplied fish wire to pull the two center bolts into place. Now you ready to install the hitch. I recommend putting the top bolt on each side first do not tighten. tip hitch up and start the nuts on the two center bolts tighten these bolts just so the hitch touches the frame. The lower side bolts should be lined up with slot in hitch you may have to give it a love tap with a hammer.screw lower side bolts in finger tight.Tighten two center bolts all the way then side bolts and you are done. It took about 4hrs. total including cleaning the thread holes and installing the wiring harness. I am in my late 50's so I am sure it can be done quicker. Highly recommend this hitch.
I ordered this about a year ago and it’s been great! It was easy to install and have never had an issue with it. I have a 2015 GMC Terrain. I would highly recommend!
Ainslie - 11/08/2022The installation went along great, the longest time in the job was running the tap into the well nuts , mine had a lot of rust in the threads. Fit and finish excellent.
There are a few things that made purchasing a hitch from you perfect. 1st you showed my vehicle on your web site so I knew there would be no mistake. 2nd I found your installation video on YouTube making me feel very comfortable it was something I could do. Lastly,I was able to track my order, received it with no issue. Very well packaged and I am very happy with the entire process. I would gladly recommend your company to others.
We primarily bought this for our camping gear. Cooler, tents, chairs,it carried all of it and more. It was fairly easy to install between me and my husband. Fairly easy doesn't mean fast, this was our first time and we were out till dark. That being said Etrailer provided everything we needed in this set. For reference we have an 04 Saturn Vue
The trailer hitch fit fine, but we had problem with the coiled wire that was provided to feed the metal plates and bolts to the two center positions. The wire worked fine for the first one, but lost its shape getting it off the bolt. Now it won't fit the second center bolt properly. You should include two of the coiled wires with the hitch.
Great product. Easy to install .
Negative: inner hitch tube is getting rusted.
Jenny N - 09/23/2022This ball fit perfectly on the hitch. The camper hooks up to it very easily.
A bit more difficult to install than I was led to believe. However with persistence it worked out. I ended up only getting 5 of the 6 bolts installed but I'm only using it for my bike rack, so it seems fine.
fast delivery, the hitch was correct the wiring was correct, the hardware package was wrong. I paid the shop several extra hrs to chase hardware locally and took an earbeating from them about getting them the wrong parts to do the job.I have purchased from etrailer before with no issues
Jenny N - 11/22/2022 Jenny N - 11/25/2022I purchased the trailer hitch receiver for my son's 2006 Chevy Equinox. It fit perfect and was easy to install. All in, this was about a 45 minute project that I was able to complete myself in the driveway. As with anything being replaced underneath a vehicle, cleaning out the bolt holes is the key to making this project seamless. WD40 or some other similar cleaner does the job.
This hitch fits my Equinox very well, and will provide years of service. My primary use will be for support my bike rack.
Very pleased.
this is my second trailer hitch purchased from etrailer. Both were easy to install and have been used extensively to haul my family bicycles to local parks and on long family vacation trips. The ease of installation allowed from me to have a trailer hitch for my car and one for my wife's car.
Great product! The communication between etrailer and myself was like no other. I was able to follow my order every step of the way and the product came in perfect condition and is solid!
Trailer hitch was very easy to install the fit was perfect. Thanks for a great product.
Great economical Trailer hitch for our bicyle carrier!
Dennis - 05/11/2022It fits my 2015 Equinox perfectly. Note: If you live in a geography with snow and cold weather, expect to spend a lot of time cleaning rust out of the weld nuts. I ended up needing to purchase a 12mm tap set. Also, tip from the auto supply shop: Motor oil works much better than a thinner lubricant like WD-40.
You guys are awesome. A great product at a great price, plus delivering to US Service members and DoD Civilians living overseas. I recommend you to all my friends with U.S. vehicles.
Got here early
Installation Videos look so simple but not…
Installation was smooth and hitch works great so far
To start off, Super fast shipping, for the price I thought it was gonna be cheaply made but this thing is heavy duty. The finish looks great and the install was fairly easy. Took a bit longer then advertised but I didn't have any help so had to install myself. was able to do with my motorcycle jack to lift it and hold it in place. Install was just like they said in the videos and it looks great on the vehicle, well the parts you can actually see anyway the majority is hidden under the vehicle. This is an awesome product and i'm glad I found you guys online. I'm telling all my friends about you guys. Thanks again.
Excellent products and fast shipping.
While the hitch itself looks and feels great, the fasteners included did not work for my 2017 Equinox, I ended up having to go out and locate some M10 bolts for the frame rail weld nuts and obviously some smaller washers to make the installation safe, this was a real hassle and took me way longer to finish.
Product is as advertised.. Fit well. Finish great.. For my 15 V6 Equinox... Though only 37k on my SUV... The hitch should include a tap to clean out the holes or just state a tap will be needed... Also the access panel can be cutout to fit close around the hitch with not much effort at all for a cleaner finished look... and the wiring kit was easy as advertised also.. Though I choose to run my power line from the front to back .. since I do not have a Lift...
