Best 1971 Ford Van Heavy Duty Receiver Hitches

I used the cross tube to build my own custom hitch behind a hitch. This is a quality product and worked well for my custom build. Closest to my RV, in the main receiver, I carry my motorcycle. I used this to mount a bike rack behind the motorcycle carrier. For custom builds like this, the cross tube is a perfect product to build around. I mounted this to my support rails using grade 8 bolts, this way I can break it down easily and store it at camp or at home. The cross tube is quality steel and has good welds. Class V was more than I needed, but this was the best option for my project.

Bought this hitch for a custom application. WAY OVERKILL for what I needed but better to over engineer it than under. This baby is capable of towing 16000 lbs with a tongue weight of 1600 lbs. I will never tow more than the 5000 lbs my coach is rated for but I needed it to extend out and be a bit lower than the standard hitch to carry my KLR 650 on a rack which comes in at about 525 lbs.

The product is awesome, but the order was shipped in complete. I was informed that a similar hitch receiver to what I originally ordered was in stock and ready to ship instead of waiting for the one that was ordered. Only $XX more, no biggie right? I got the brackets in a couple of days but NO cross bar. They shipped it out and by the time I got it, it was basically the same time frame as the original order would have taken and I spent $XX more. Not real happy with the shipping side of things with etrailer.

Hitch came on time and was easy to install being a weld on hitch. Was a good choice for my flatbed as the truck has a frame extension on it from a service box which meant a factory type hitch was not a option. Looking forward to using it more and not having to worry about hitch failure.

Solid as stone!!

Added (welded) to our diesel pusher Motorhome and have no issues and really no worries while towing whatever we feel we need while camping.

Solid as stone!!

It’s beefy and solid. The mounting bracket square holes had to be cut in a smidge and he added two more support bars.. but all in all. My welder said it would tow 11-12 k. Not the 16k I was told. But hey. I’m okay with that. There was a shipping issue which forced me to reschedule a few things, that is the only reason I gave 4 stars. Otherwise I am supper happy with how it turned out.

Excellent peopl to work with shipping is quick will definitely deal with them again

The part I ordered came in as promised and quick.

Well made. Solid! Shipped promptly.

The staff was great and very knowledgeable. Had little problem and was fix with in 2days. Delivery of products was faster than expected date. Over all the service was fantastic. I would recommend everyone I know to order with E Trailer.

Solid as stone!!

Brent was amazing with his attention to detail. He made sure I received the correct hitch and a follow up on my delivery. Thanks again

This was not well packed and arrived dented on the backside of the ICC bar and the powder coating was flaking off at that spot. Considering the heavy steel it's made of, it must've been hit pretty hard. Also, I asked prior to ordering for the plate that would fit my truck, specifically a '96 Chevy 3500HD commercial frame cab & chassis (you don't list my truck as a vehicle option) which has a completely different frame from the rest of the C/K line. A GMT-455 rather than a GMT-400. This plate was clearly not made for this frame, though my welder made it work and filled in some of the gaps, though left the top how it was. Had I known what I know now, I would've just had a custom plate made. Very disappointed in the condition as shipped and the fit, especially after first checking with you to be sure I ordered the correct part. But I needed it done and on the truck, so we made it work, but I would not buy another one.

ordered a 600$ part gets lost in shipping. I have to turn in a claim with UPS because I get no response from etrailer after two emails. Now I'm told I'll have to wait for investigation 10 days after delivery date but If you are needing the part sooner, you may place a new order and when we receive the part back from UPS or word it is lost, we can issue a refund.

Absolutely no problems with it at all…. E trailer stands by there word… I have had problems in the past but they were taken care of quickly (minutes)….

Solid as stone!!

Perfect fit on my 2009 blue bird

Should work great. Going to mount it on Box truck on top of 44" crossmember. Will send a pic when it is finished.

Looks great. Worked well on a diesel pusher

Solid as stone!!

It is very well built and the powder coating is very tough, took a good grinding to get it off for the welds. Good price as well. I used it for my 2006 Bounder 35E, not because it was a high rate hitch, as I did not need one, but this was the only one that would lower the hitch to a more normal height from the ground. The old hitch was so high a 10" deep was not enough to use a trailer parallel to the ground. Now I can hook up a lot easier and not worry about scraping. Looks good too.
