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.

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.Pretty straight forward installing. Bolts right in. Will need a hand to hold it in place to install. A little heavier than the one that was under the tuck for bumper ball. Looks great and fits great !! Also got the OEM style wiring kit. That as well fits as it should and fairly easy to install.
Great Trailer Hitch Receiver. Simple and easy to install the unit. Followed instructions and video for hassle free install.
I installed this hitch on my new colorado pick up. It fit perfectly and was easy to install.
Looks great and of course hauls my trailer well.
Had local mechanic put it on for me and it took about 15 minutes. Solid and works well with my bike rack. Thanks!
Excellent quality and fairly easy to install. Instructions would do well to mention that if you don’t have a lift rack you’ll need two extra people to install.

Product was destroyed when the vehicle caught fire and exploded. Up until that time it worked well.
I installed this in my driveway lying on back with help. We went by the installation process in the online video.
It took teamwork to break the factory bolts loose. We got tow bar in place by trial and error. The hard part is getting the bumper mount lined up with the bar and the frame in order to get the bolts in finger tight.
The specs for the bolts had torque rated at 160 ft-lbs. I couldn't reach that but got it close. Installation was complete and I cut the tape off of the receiver. Inside were instructions giving torque as 100 ft-lbs. I wouldn't do less than 120.
The welds on the top side of the brackets were not ground down enough and caused the side holes to be too low for the holes in the truck frame. I had to file down the hole to make room to get the bolts in.
Delivery was fast (and correct)! The installation was really easy and the hitch is very solid. Great product!
I use my vehicle to pull a 2 place snowmobile trailer and there haven't been any issues/problems.
Excellent quality and value. Shipping was next day, thanks Michelle V. Perfect fitment. Hardest part of the installation was removal of large bolts. Cheater bar needed.
Best price . Fast shipping

Holding up great . Used every week
Product fit perfect, only one problem was a Chevy factory cross threaded bolt on bumper bracket. Otherwise smooth sailing. I have always received my orders from etrailer very fast and correct. Only place I will shop for hitch accessories. Love the installation videos on there sight..
Went on fairly easy
. hauled 2 big loads of scrape metal, without a ...hitch. seriously i love it, looks great on my truck too.
One man install. Not easy but it is possible. Fits without any problems. Easier to remove rear bumper which is simple. You need a very stout breaker bar or a high torque impact to remove the bolts if you are replacing the factory unit.
This hitch is very well made and much heavier gauge steel as compared to factory unit. I love the mat finish.
My hitch performs as-advertised. Generally pleased, however there was slight damage in shipping where the assembly fits to the frame of my truck, but nothing that a channel-lock plier and a floor-jack couldn’t fix. Looks good.

Still pleased with my purchase. Bought a hitch from eTrailer for my GF’s car. Equally satisfied.
AS far as the product, first impressions are great! Bought this as a gift for my dad and his '19 Chevy Colorado. I purchase this and the wiring harness. Awaiting until Christmas for an install. My only complaint was the shipping. My wife and I have had too many issues with UPS in the pass and the delivery of these items were no different. Although the items showed up early, I can't get over UPS lying stating a delivery attempt was made. I have Ring video of the time they are stating that says otherwise. Then once the items finally arrived the next day, the box containing the harness was fine but the hitch looks as if it had been dragged around and dropped. You can see from the pictures that the wrapping isn't sufficient to protect it from drops. So, as I said, I would look into shipping with someone else.
The hitch lined up perfectly with the frame. I did have to open the hanging brackets with a 2 pound hammer in order for them to slide onto the frame. I suppose they bent a little during shipping. The videos were excellent source material.
The trailer hitch receiver didn't fit my truck the way it was intended, even though the description stated it would fit, the width of the frame was bigger than the receiver. When reaching out to etrailer their solution was attempt to bend the thick square tubing to accommodate the frame. Its suppose to be a bolt on product. Not a viable solution, considering the distance to cover was over a half inch. Not happy, wouldn't recommend.

I have looked into this for you and it does show me that this hitch is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. If you are having troubles with the holes not lining up, it could be that the hitch has been flexed during shipment. This is common amongst hitches, since the mounting brackets are made from a mild steel that allows the hitch to flex with the vehicle after installation. If the entire hitch was made of rigid steel, there would be a greater chance of the hitch being damaged and experiencing stress cracks. Such cracks could cause the hitch to malfunction. This flexing often times will cause the holes not to align. Because of this we do have a help article I have the link attached below that will walk you through the process of straightening the hitch.

The hitch didn't have a bracket to bolt the support from the spare tire carrier cross member to the hitch. Other than that it bolted to the frame perfectly and fits fine
the hitch did not fit as advertised , modifications had to be made and took extra time . Otherwise the hitch is ok

It is possible that the side brackets were knocked out of alignment which could have caused it to be difficult to install. We have a few FAQs that can help with the installation.

Fits perfectly. Very heavy built.
It fit as described. Installed pretty easily. The "how to" videos on the website were very helpful.
Perfect! Fit, finish, and operation we’re all perfect.

Perfect. Just as it was when I installed. No issues what so ever.
The part came wrapped in plastic with no box but was in good condition.
The hardest part of the installation was removing the factory hitch components.
I used Jack stands to hold the rear bumper in place, removed the screws from the old hitch and wiggled the old part out.
Lying on my back under the back of the truck the new part was light enough I could lift the new part in place and start a bolt to hold in place.
I broke a 1/2" breaker bar removing the old bolts manually so if you have impact tools it'll save lots of sweat.
Fits well and looks good and rugged.

After one year, still in good condition.
The hitch seems sturdy and built well, I love the design of the safety chain hooks they don’t protrude down like others and it looks neat and clean! Had some issues installing myself at home so I ended up taking it to a shop and they were able to do it in an afternoon. Definitely worth it!
Product selection, easy navigation, detailed installation videos and exceptional response time will keep me coming back to your store.
