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.

by:

Product is good- you guys are awesome with the customer service-Thanks for your prompt shipping,Steve



by:

Great product which fit perfect, looks great and was easy to install...even took less than the 15 minuates advertised.



by:

Poking out the box a little on delivery but not damage at all. Instal took me and my dad to do just because I the weight and awkwardness of position. Still only took 15-20 minutes.



by:

Shipping was very fast. Fit was spot on. Only problem was one of the bolts had bad threads (damaged threads). Had another bolt in the shop so it was no big deal. I would give everything a thumbs up.



by:

A quality product.Competitive price. Fast delivery. Instruction videos are very helpful. I have and will continue to recommend this site to my friends.They kept me appraised of the status of my order from the time I placed it until it was delivered to my door. I'm very impressed, and satisfied.



by:

Installation could not be easier!



by:

Excellent fit and finish. It took longer to un-pack the hitch then it did to install it. A great value!



by:

Hitch showed up with left side bent in about 3/8" so will not line up with holes on frame of vehicle. Will have to return, hopefully not at my expense. Results pending.



by:

Quality product & a perfect fit. Excellent customer service and communication. Will pass along etrailer name to others.



by:

Excellent product. Install a snap - took only 20 minutes even with my three year old "helping". Install video very helpful!



by:

Perfect fit and an easy to install in about twenty minutes. As usual Etrailer had excellent service and makes sure you get the correct parts the first time.



by:

I ordered trailer hitch and light set saturday--wa delivered wed!-great prices and products. thanks for the great service!



by:

hitch came in quicker than expected . total time on install was about 1 hr including the wireing harness .hardest part is removing the plastic kick plate and not breaking it .



by:

From the moment I ordered the hitch from etrailer.com, I received special care with emails confirming handling, shipping and receipt. The product was top shelf and fit beautifully. The whole job took less than a hour to install. The product was great and etrailer.com was great! I will order again... and recommend others to do the same!



by:

When it arrived the "arms" of the hitch receiver were not exactly square with the long boxy support (that runs along the bumper). It had apparently been dropped and the holes to the frame did not line up. I bent one of the arms a few degrees by wedging it in my trailer walls. After that, it fit perfectly.



by:

I ended up going with etrailer because they had the best price. Shipping was free and they even sent it sooner than promised. The hitch bolted right to the frame as promised and the wiring kit connected as the instructions said it would.



by:

Just received the hitch, wiring harness, and combo pack ball mounts. I had it installed in less than 15 mins and the wire harness snapped into place in just a minute. I'm ready now to pick up my boat in the morning!I watched the install videos online which are assume and love this web site, they make it so easy.

2010 Nissan Frontier

2012 Nissan Frontier Pro-4XSimple installation, wiring harness very easy to install takes about 10 minutes. Hitch installation took about 20 minutes, easier with two people to get it lifted up under the truck. 6 bolts torqued properly then just run the wiring harness to your liking, that probably took the longest cause I am picky. Overall extremely easy install.etrailer.com was awesome, I received multiple notifications via email on the status of my order, and additional instruction email as well as delivery confirmation email. Package arrived safe and in a very timely manner.Could not be happier with this purchase.



by:

Hitch looks to be made from 5/16" thick plate and square tube. Welds are complete and craftsmanlike. Finish is complete, hard, and attractive. The bolts supplied are high quality hardened 12mm 8.8 rated, tensile strength about 115,000 psi. I think the truck frame is the weakest link in the system!I installed the hitch by myself in a leisurely 1/2 hour. The hitch is a true bolt-on product - the holes in the hitch lined up with those in the frame as well as need be. No struggling to get the bolts started. I used a c-clamp to hold one end of the hitch up to the frame while bolting the other end. Hitch arrived very quickly, faster than I anticipated. Etrailer kept me informed at every step of the ordering and shipment process.I couldn't be more pleased.

  • Will The Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU64FR Work on a 2022 Nissan Frontier?
    Yes, you are going to be able to use the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU64FR with your 2022 Nissan Frontier as long as you have a receiver. If you do not have a receiver from the factory you can use our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98869 to carry the bike rack. Anytime a receiver is put on a vehicle I recommend also adding the Wiring # 118266 in the event you ever need to pull a trailer or use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 with your truck.

  • Best Hitch For A 2020 Nissan Frontier
    Both hitches are class 3 with 2x2 inch receiver openings and both can use weight distribution systems. I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98869. A notable difference is the safety chain loops, on the etrailer hitch they are a horizontal welded loop under the receiver opening that will not take away from your ground clearance. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75282 has welded...

  • Trailer Hitch, Brake Controller, and Wiring Recommendation 2022 Nissan Frontier
    First lets start with a hitch for your 2022 Nissan Frontier. For that I'd recommend the etrailer part # e98869 which has great towing capacities and is mostly hidden. Then for trailer wiring you would need to start with the 7-way kit part # 118266 which comes with brake controller wiring. Then for a brake controller I would recommend the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty part # RED24FR which only puts a small button on your dash instead of a large box like traditional controllers. Then to connect...

    For your 2024 Nissan Frontier I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98869. This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver and a max gross trailer/tongue weight of 5,000/500 lbs. This hitch also features a matte black powder coat finish. The finish gives it an OEM look while hiding dirt and dings. It has a bolt-on installation and comes with a lifetime warranty.

    We currently offer three options for a 2024 Nissan Frontier; the etrailer # e98869, Draw-Tite # 75282, and Curt # 13241. Of the three the Curt and etrailer hitch options only real difference is just the finish with the etrailer having a matte black finish and the Curt having a gloss black finish.

    The Curt wiring harness # C56225 is not confirmed to fit the 2023 models of the Nissan Frontier, but do I have two options for you to choose from though. Option 1: The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118266. This wiring harness is completely plug-in so you won't have to hardwire anything, but it doesn't come with a 4-pole connector so you would need to use an adapter like # 47345.

  • Curt Trailer Hitch vs. etrailer Trailer Hitch for 2020 Nissan Frontier
    There is a slight difference between the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98869 and Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13241 that fits your 2020 Nissan Frontier, which is the finish. The etrailer hitch has a rugged matte black finish which is really good at hiding any blemishes or scratches while the Curt has a glossy black finish. Apart from the finish, these two hitches are exactly the same, with the same capacities and installation. I have added a link to the installation instructions...

  • Will the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Work On a 2012 Nissan Frontier With 5K Trailer
    The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98869 which is a fit for a 2012 Nissan Frontier is rated for 5,000 lbs or 8,000 lbs with weight distribution. If the trailer is under 5,000 lbs loaded then you will be fine without weight distribution but if it's over 5,000 lbs but not 8,000 lbs then you will need a weight distribution system. The Curt Hitch Class Comparison Chart states that class III hitches can be rated up to 8,000 lbs without weight distribution, not that all class III hitches...
