Best 1997 Chevrolet Express Van Pintle Hitches

Use this to pull a 10k deck over for personal and light landscaping business use and am very satisfied. Solid, versatile, idiot-proof. No drama purchase experience.

High quality hitch, wish it came with lock nuts instead of lock washers but it is great.

Easy lightweight and simple to use! The only issue I’ve had is the chain has come off the locking pin a couple of times, I think I’m going to get a locking pin to replace this one. I deliver motorhomes professionally and this has helped my pre and post trip times a lot, plus it’s so much easier to remove this and throw it in my vehicle when it’s raining than having to wrestle a whole hitch mounted towbar.

Works great and more than anything else, it makes me feel safe that the trailer cannot come loose from my vehicle. Lots of stress lessened when towing. These folks are great to work with and even helped me get one quicker than normal due to some uncontrollable circumstances I found myself in.

Works great

Heavy duty. Works as it should. Quick shipping.

I needed a longer neck on my pintle. This item is perfect and heavy duty. Quick standard shipping too.

It’s heavy! DUTY. Can’t wait to tow my chipper at the correct height

Very heavy, solid steel. Really made for if you have a jacked 4x4 truck and need to lower the hitch . Runs low on a standard suspension rear wheel drive truck. Turned it up to not drag the ground.

As described, but no information on the hole diameter on the website, so the Curt pintle mounting bolts don't fit without drilling.

I needed a new pintle to haul my tractor. This one is perfect and heavy duty.

Product seemed well built, but the black paint was barely on it, looks like the pintle was sprayed after it was together so that none of the areas that are covered when it is closed were painted at all. I'm a little dissapointed with this facet. but otherwise it seemed to be in good condition.

It's solid and straightforward. Haven't had 30K# behind it (yet) but towed an empty 25K# GVWR equipment trailer from Indiana to Mississippi without any trouble at all.

This item works great for my application. I was able to bolt this onto the back of my truck for pulling my equipment trailer. I like this better than using a slide in pintle receiver. IT gets the trailer closer to the back of my truck making it ride better.

The hitch is made from heavy duty steel. And is a excellent match with the owl equipment trailer for hauling out tractor That has weight of 8000 pounds.

This is what I needed to match the height of the trailer. The packaging could have bee better because the hitch broke through the box.

This review is for all the products I have recently bought from e trailer. First of all, no one will ever steal this hitch from my truck. It weighs way too much. It is rock solid!! A3” square 30k hitch plate, and a 30k pintle hitch! Drop it on your toe and it’s an instant amputation!! I love it!! But of all, customer service is beyond belief. I can only dream of having customer in my business this good! The best!!

etrailer and inventory is outstanding

Very fast shipping and a great product. This seller is a cut above all others.

Looks good, shipped in a timely manner.

Great hitch for hauling my tractor. The team at etrailer is awesome. Keep up the great work - I love all the pics and videos.

Fits to loose in the receiver. Made in China.

The folks at etrailer couldn't have been more responsive to a customer. I placed the order on a Saturday for a project & had it delivered (in excellent condition for such a heavy package) by Tuesday afternoon. I'll be going to e- trailer for many other projects to come in sure. Highly recommended!

The drop hitch & pintle both arrived in a fast reasonable time. The drop hitch is built even ruggerder than I had anticipated. I strongly recommend anyone looking for these items that I purchased shouldn't hesitate & buy them from etailer,you won't be disappointed!

The ball mount as arrived, did not fit my receiver in the truck. Yes, it is 2x2 inch but the corners are not rounded like they should be. I had to use the file and to file 4 corners of the shank section which slides into my truck hitch receiver. It did not take much time to do it but it would be nice if the Etrailer contacts the manufacturer so that they can make required minor change. I am very happy with a quick shipment of these items and great packaging of these heavy items. I would highly recommend the Etrailer to anybody who needs good parts for the trailer at a good price and for a very quick deliver.

The drop hitch mount is a well built strong unit with the dimensions that we needed. The dimensions between the pin hole and the back brace allowed us to use it in the up position if need. The adjustable mount holes allows for leveling on different trailers with pintle ring, no problem. The video was extremely helpful in deciding if this unit was what we were after. Will share pictures after Santa comes! Thanks.

Working great I use the fixed straight hitch when I need a little more hitch height or the adjustable hitch depending on which application works better.

Etrailer is my go-to place for anything trailer related. Good quality, excellent service, prompt delivery. Doesn't get much better than this! Keep up the good work...

Very well built piece

The ball/pintle mounting plate worked very well. I was surprised that it stuck out past the bumper so far on my 2008 Silverado 2500HD, but it was only about 4-5 inchest past where my ball usually sits with other hitches. I suppose it will work well as strong as it is to take care of anyone who choses to park to close to me in parking lots! :-)

came to my home with out delay and installing on my truck looks great thank you etrailer

I absolutely love this hitch!!! I regularly tow 9-10,000lbs total load (tractor and trailer). Pintle are great but noisy and tend to slam and transfer that shock to the truck. I ran a ball style of this hitch years ago and noticed a difference with that so figured I would give this a shot. I don't notice or feel any more slamming while coming to a stop or taking off! What a major comfort improvement over the rigid hitch. My only complaint, seeing as I live in New England with salty roads is that the actual sliding block inside the hitch is bare metal. It's rusting up and froze my pin inside it. Got the pin out with a air hammer and patience but now am going to soak it down. I've only owned this for a year and that's the only complaint I have

60k pintle hitch product is as described and expected - seems very 'beefy' and works as is should. Separately, I was very pleasantly surprised when Etrailers emailed me the day after my order was placed. They wanted to let me know that they were able to get my purchase shipped the same day it was ordered AND that they 'decided' to upgrade the standard shipping that I selected and paid for up to an enhanced priority 3-5 day shipping. Great great Christmas present to a new customer. I will look to them again when I may have a future trailer supply need.

I thought that customer service was pretty much gone in this country until I ordered from E-trailer. I've never ordered from them before but certainly will again when I need trailer supplies. The product shipped out on a Sunday which was the first thing that surprised me. Then I received an email with someone's name, phone number, and email in case I had any questions. The day it arrived I received an email from the same person telling me that the package had arrived. To top it all off the products were properly boxed so that even UPS couldn't destroy my two hitch parts! Very impressed!!! Keep up the great work etrailer.

Very nice product still working fine

Part is well built and gives me the adjustability I needed for multiple applications for my hitches. The wheel had the correct offset I needed to fit my trailer correctly, and the breakaway kit was a great replacement for the one that was broken on the used trailer I just purchased. The universal trailer brake installation kit was just what I was looking for. Great quality and the ability to run either type of trailer wiring harness in one hookup. Great parts and great service!!!

I have only used this hitch a few times, having recently purchased it. I like to see reviews after a product has seen some use. Pintle hitches are a simple mechanism, this one seems to be beefy and well made. There is a little lip at the top of the hook you can see in the listing photo if you look and already know it's there, If things are tight this is enough to catch on the loop when you are trying to unhook. If you are jacking up an already heavy trailer, this is a 30K lb hook, and can't get free of the truck it can be frustrating.

I switched to a Lunette ring after noticing excessive wear on my ball couplers from driving on dirt roads every day. These give me peace of mind while driving, they are a more robust design and they are easy to inspect for wear when attaching the trailer to the vehicle. The only wear I see now is where the ring and pintle hook ride is polished.

Very satisfied with the pintle hook. However, the ball mount (63058), as arrived, did not fit my receiver in the truck. Yes, it is 2x2 inch but the corners are not rounded like they should be. I had to use the file and to file 4 corners of the shank section which slides into my truck hitch receiver. It did not take much time to do it but it would be nice if the Etrailer contacts the manufacturer so that they can make required minor change. I am very happy with a quick shipment of these items and great packaging of these heavy items. I would highly recommend the Etrailer to anybody who needs good parts for the trailer at a good price and for a very quick deliver.

I sell only ETRAILER pintle hooks and pintle hook combos. At my shop. And word of mouth and the function of this pintle hook and the others I stock.Is why I use Etrailer for my customers needs. Thank You! Darlene P.
