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.

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.Very solid hitch. It took me about 1.5 hours to install. The biggest problem is getting the bolts out, they are pretty tough to get out. One thing I would highly recommend, it is something they tell you to do, but I did not do a good job of it and it cost me an extra 1/2 hour. Clean out the threads before installing the 8 bolts. I did not do a good job and the bolts would not go in all the way. I took them back out, cleaned the threads and the bolts went in without a problem. Now a quick review of etailer.com: You rock! My hitch showed up with damage that was caused from shipping, the box was all ripped apart and the hitch was bent. After a quick email and a very fast response, the new hitch was on the way. Less than 48 hours later the new hitch was at my door. Thank You etrailer.com keep up the Great Work!!!
Kc - 04/27/2021AS 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 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
Truck did not come with a decent hitch. The etrailer hitch met my needs to be able to tow my camper easily. The installation was exactly like the video that was prepared by etrailer employees. It was easy once the original bolts were removed. Better than an original hitch from the factory. Hitch was tweaked by delivery and etrailer staff provided excellent ideas to help me straighten the hitch so it fit perfectly. Great support after the sale.
Excellent quality and fitment. The install video provided made the work very easy with clear step by step process. Hitch is perfect solution for my use for occasional towing. The factory setup on my Colorado did not include a frame mounted hitch receiver, only a bumper ball mount. This hitch allows for a more secure, safe load at full capacity of my truck. I like the design that keeps the hitch bar hidden behind the bumper, but allows for easy access to the receiver and a flat bottom safety chain plate.
Awesome well built hitch, came in really fast to. On a side note GM used red thread locker when they put the bolts in from the factory and that was the hardest part was getting the 4 bolts out to put the new hitch in.
Not to happy about how the hitch was packaged. By the time I received it the wrapping material was ripped, I'm sure during shipping, and paint was rubbed off down to bare metal in areas. I'll need to touch up those areas. Happy about quick shipment and overall satisfied with the hitch.
Installed on 08/11/2020. It looks great on the vehicle. This was a major step up from the one that was first on my Vehicle.
This hitch fit like a glove on our 2021 Chevy Colorado. Build quality is excellent. I definitely recommend watching the video by Brian before you get started, it's very helpful. Shipping was fast, received the order 2 days after it was placed. etrailer.com is highly recommended.
I have to say, I am highly impressed. This was totally worth it. Not only did they have the exact product, but they even have video's pertaining to your specific vehicle. Totally worth it. I would recommend them, and return for a different vehicle.
Received hitch today, box was split open on end but hitch looks perfect. Looks like box split open simply because hitch is very heavy, no wonder box split open. Paint on hitch not even scratched, looks like it was loaded coated. Will install when it's warmer out.
Hitch looks really good on my 2018 Chevy Colorado and is very solid and well built. My dad and I eventually got it to fit, but we had to hammer the panels that bolt into the frame rail out slightly as the frame rails were about 1/4” to 1/2” wider than the hitch. Once we got those little panels on the outside of the frame rail, we need to hammer it up into place to align the holes. Not too big of a deal. This hitch also doesn’t have the 2 little hookups for the spare tire guard piece that you have to take off the original bar. I can’t find a reason for it to be necessary though, so I didn’t worry about trying to remount it. All in all, looks good, feels solid, and will get the job done! Excellent shipping time for such a large product too. I believe I ordered on a Friday night and it made it from Missouri to Mckinney, Texas by Wednesday.
A year later and is still in perfect shape and looks factory. It is super sturdy and was a little difficult to install but once we got the bolts lined up, it was super strong.
Box was damaged and after taking out crossmember was thinking not going to fit. After measuring and looking at hitch figured out what the problem was. Hitch was bent so after a hour of pounding with a hammer it bolted right up. Tough time getting the bumper to tighten back up. 4 hours later it’s done
great hitch great price great service
Hitch was just as advertised. The 2 arms where it bolts on were bent in 1/2 inch. Had to take a sledge hammer to get the right measurement. Just a couple light taps and it was good. I think it got bent in shipping because the cardboard box was a little big and it was flopping around a lot. I like the Hitch a lot, and highly recommend it. Thanks for reading my review
I must say that it did take me a little longer because the shipper must have dropped the hitch on both ends because the side flanges were bent inward and took some pounding to get them back in line with the frame. (Glad I had my grandson here to help). All in all I would recommend some addition packing on the ends of the box but I am happy with the end results. I was very pleased with the fit and appearance of the hitch receiver once installed. I will ust this for light duty trailering and hauling maintenance equipment.
Hitch is a beast but poor packing caused the powder coating to wear off to bare metal in several places. I used some fegukar spray paint to cover to help prevent rust. Rather disappointed since I wanted powder coat to prevent rusting
Only issue was the box came almost destroyed. I think the hitch is OK and will know in a few days. Thank you for your help in selecting the correct items.
I love the trailer hitch except for the fact it doesn't have the mount for the spare tire shed that was on the factory 3500 lb hitch installed by chevrolet.. I assumed your hitch had the mount because it seamed a standard piece on all the other manufacturers i was looking at.
Difficult to install alone, just because the bolt points. Its heavy. Overall the part fit correctly, even has some hook loops.
The hitch is as advertised. A really well built piece of equipment at a great price. I installed the hitch on a 2019 Chevy Colorado. The only problem with installation was a miss-aligned slot in the driver's side vertical plate that slides between the frame and the bumper bracket. The front slot was approximately 1/6" to low in the bracket and would not allow the bolt to be installed. I had to open the slot on the top side with a Dremel grinder to get the bolt in. I was able to enlarge the slot with the hitch installed. Otherwise, the installation was straight forward.
I have not gotten the chance to install yet, but was pleased with the instructions and videos available to show how to do. It was delivered quickly. The product looks to be well built and will meet my needs.
