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.

Think this is the fourth hitch we have purchased from you and all four have fit and performed perfectly. Your customer service personnel and prompt actions have been great. Thank you. The latest for our new Pacifica was more difficult due to the panels covering the bottom of the vehicle however your videos helped in that.

Perfectly, just like the other three we have bought from you.

Hitch Worked well last summer, basically never used fall or winter. Hitch still looks nice as opposed to the curt unit on last car that began peeling and surface rusting after one winter (New England, dirt road, salt and other melting agents).

Still Looks great. Hard to believe it is 2 years old. Isnt used for heavy towing, bit it sees frequent in and out service all summer. No complaints and would absolutely buy again.



by:

Hitch does look better than competition. Was not very difficult to install by myself did use car ramps in garage to elevate vehicle. Everything went great



by:
2021 Chrysler Pacifica

The actual hitch is very good quality. One small hole (that slips over a 10MM bolt could have been better aligned. Also the measurements on the directions for cutting the underbody panel were incorrect (by nearly 2").



by:
2021 Chrysler Pacifica

The hitch itself is five star. However, two issues came up during install that made things difficult.

First, the hitch kit did not include hardware to relocate the carbon canister box on the driver side of the hitch. The hitch could not be installed without moving this box. A longer bolt was provided, but this did not make the carbon box secure. I was able to partially thread the longer bolt on the front of the box, but there was no room to secure the rear of the box at all. My van is a 2021 model, so maybe this issue is different for other model years.

Second, the 0.5” x 10” slit to be cut in the underbody panel was not the location described in the included directions. It actually needed to be 0.5” x 14” and about 2” different location than described. The point of reference bolt hole in the diagram was likely in a different spot for my 2021 model compared to the vehicle used for creating directions.

I just bought a second hitch from e trailer. I had a few questions about the correct hitch. I installed it today with help from my son. The video for my car was shot on. It was an Easy installation!



by: 11/13/2024
2023 Chrysler Pacifica

Hitch fit fine. However my 2023 is different than what trailer has in there installation video. Ex: my heatshield is part of the underneath panel , not separate. Instructions for trimming did now match. I had to custom cut mine.



by:

Great quality and easy to install with detailed instructions and videos



by:
2019 Chrysler Pacifica

Following the video made it look easy but it only showed instructions on drivers side. When it came to the passenger side, that was time consuming and bruising. Now I know why the video didn’t include that side. But, I did get it put on with vehicle on the ground in 4 -1/2 hours. I’m 80 years old and it was 90 degrees outside. I’m okay. It looks good on vehicle.

My wife wanted this receiver hitch installed on her Chrysler Pacifica for our bike rack, so we can travel with our bikes. We installed it in a few hours without a lift, but backed up on ramps.
The trailer hitch is great. The diagram for cutting the existing dust cover was very inaccurate. Installation is definitely a two-person job, but not difficult



by:
Chrysler Pacifica

It cost us only $100 to have our regular mechanic mount the receiver on our Chrysler Pacifica van, even though the van isn't rated for towing. The receiver works perfectly with the Thule e-bike hitch rack we also bought from etrailer.



by:

I picked Etrailer hitch because they had a simple install video where I able to see the hitch on the actual vehicle. I trusted the product because it was their own. I easily even reached an actual person when I had a question. I have only used the hitch to haul bikes



by:

The product was exactly as described. It seems to be of very high quality and still looks great. This is probably the 5th hitch I have purchased from this site and all have been excellent



by:

etrailer always has delivered for me, thanks for your professionalism.



by:

Product fit perfectly for my 2021 Chrysler Pacifica. Instructions were a bit difficult to understand but the video provided through your website helped greatly! Hitch receiver worked well with our bike rack for our ebikes.



by:
2017 Chrysler Pacifica

After paying returns shipping for the wrong product. This one fit well and the instructions were easy to follow for installation. Highly recommend the video the company links to the order.



by:
2017 Chrysler Pacifica

The trailer hitch shipped very quick. I was nervous to install it but the instructions were very spot on! They sent an installation guide for our specific vehicle and made it easy to follow. It mounted perfect and is going to work great! Very happy with everything!



by:
2023 Chrysler Pacifica

A few "mistakes" in the installation manual. About 2.5 hours total install time was needed to install this, which includes making some minor adjustments to the cannister and more trim needed (than what the manual said).



by:

Solid and good paint job. Went in with no problems. Followed instructions that came with the hitch and watched the video. Pic is with a bike rack mounted.



by:

Works great. no issues. I just wish it was not so low.

  • Is It Possible To Install A Front Hitch On A 2019 Chrysler Pacifica?
    Bonjour, Raymond! It may be possible to install a front hitch on a 2019 Chrysler Pacifica. There are no custom fit front hitches available for this vehicle though, so the only option will be to use a universal hitch such as the Class V Universal Weld-on Receiver # 15901. This is something that will need to be done by a professional welder or fabricator. Since this is universal, you'll basically be comparing this hitch to the available room on your vehicle and making sure everything matches...

  • Can I Carry A Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Or Cargo Carrier With My 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid
    Great news! We do offer a a hitch for your 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. I recommend the Curt Class III Round Tube Receiver Hitch part # C13383 because the 2" hitch will be the most versatile when it comes to accessories like bike racks. There are more options to fit the 2" hitch compared to the 1-1/4" hitch. The Curt 2" hitch is a glossy black powder no drill-installation hitch that can handle up to 400 lbs of tongue weight. If you prefer a matte black option for a more rugged look,...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Touring L
    I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118712 for your 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Touring L. The harness is custom designed for your Pacifica and plugs into existing ports behind the driver and passenger taillights. The black wire extends to the vehicle's battery to power the converter. It will provide you with all of the necessary connections for your trailer. Given the price of the Tekonsha wiring harness, I would question the very unreasonable...

  • Where Does Ground Strap Wire Attach When Installing Hitch on 2017 Chrysler Pacifica
    That's a ground strap that you have circled in your picture. You can basically run that to any metal bolt that touches the metal frame and you'd be fine, but if you were to use it on the same bolt it would have to go over the hitch flange and under the nut.

  • Bike Rack Solution for 2018 Chrysler Pacifica that Allows Rear Hatch to Open with Bikes Loaded
    Trunk mounted bike racks have to be totally removed before opening the rear hatch of a vehicle. The additional weight would make the struts that normally hold the door open unpredictable (most likely would fall) and a lot of the time the hooks would damage the body of the vehicle if the hatch was attempted to open since it would press against the vehicle. If you wanted a bike rack solution that allows access to the rear hatch of your vehicle you'd need to go with a hitch mounted option....

This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your van with included hardware. I really like this hitch because the receiver mounts right below your rear bumper. This hides the crosstube and really helps with ground clearance. The etrailer Hitch item # e98903 is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 4,000 lbs towing capacity and a 400 lbs maximum...

  • Comparing etrailer and Curt Trailer Hitch for 2024 Chrysler Pacifica
    The Curt # C13383 and the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98903 are identical with the exception of the powder coat finish. They have the same bolt-on installation and the same towing capacity. The Curt has a glossy finish while the etrailer hitch has a matte finish. I prefer the matte black since it makes it look like an OEM part and also helps hide dirt and scratches. If you don't care about how the hitch looks the best choice is the one with the lower cost.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For a 2024 Chrysler Pacifica For Carrying 4 Bikes
    I recommend installing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98903 on your 2024 Chrysler Pacifica. This has the larger 2" receiver opening which will allow you to carry the Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # Y85AR. This is going to be the best bike rack as it slopes up in the back and will be less likely to drag on slopes since your Pacifica sits low to the ground.

  • Comparing etrailer and Draw Tite Hitch that Fits 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Touring L
    The best hitch choice for your 2022 Pacifica Touring L is definitely the Draw Tite # 76046. It has better towing capacities and is much more hidden since only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper so it for sure is what I would go with over the # e98903.

  • What Holes Need To Be Widened To Install The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver on a Pacifica Hybrid?
    For installing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98903 the holes that may need enlarged are where you insert square hole spacers with the carriage bolts. It sounds like you did not have this issue on your particular vehicle. We do make mention of the hole enlargement for the emissions canister in step 5 and 6 which will need to take place only on the drivers side attachment holes.

  • 4-Bike Rack that Will Clear Rear Bumper of 2020 Chrysler Pacifica with Hitch Installed
    When the etrailer hitch part # e98903 was installed here we found that it measured 5 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole out to the rear bumper edge. Since that's not enough clearance for the Inno # INH540 and none of our other hitches would provide more clearance a similar bike rack like the Thule Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR would be a better option. I attached a review video of this rack being used in a 2020 Pacifica like yours for you to check out as well.
