Exactly what I expected
I've had this on for a year now. Fit like a glove. If I remember correctly, I think it only took less than an hour to install. Still looks new.
The product itself seems well built. Installation what not particularly straightforward in my case for two reasons:
1) This only applies to my van-- The original hitch receiver which I was replacing had integrated bumper mounts, so if I were to just install this receiver, my bumper would have only been mounted to the vehicle by two flimsy sheet metal mounts on the very outside edge. This meant I had to source bumper mounts as well, which was a pain and an additional cost. Your situation may be different, but check to make sure you have separate bumper mounts before assuming this will just bolt on without any other parts.
2) The fit was pretty finicky. This is largely because the way this is meant to bolt on, it ends up spacing the stock bumper mounts off the frame by the thickness of this hitch receiver's mounts. This in turn ends up misaligning the bumper mounts where they meet the bumper. It's possible to get all the bolts aligned and seated, but you need to leave everything pretty loose as you're installing it and only start to tighten it down once all bolts and nuts are in place. This leads me to believe that something is getting bent during the tightening/torquing process.
Very happy with my new hitch!! Shipping wasn't too long and it was easy to install.
Nice hitch ,best price around esp. with free shipping which I might add was only a couple days. Installed on `02 Astro, was simple to install, no drilling ,took maybe 90min at most and the 18 inch rim doughnut spare didn`t have to be messed with.
Installation is not easy at all. When you unbolt the bumper brackets and put The hitch brackets on with the bumper brackets under it the bumper brackets will not bolt back to the bumper without drilling out the holes bigger. Not happy with this product at all. Took over 2 hours to install a hitch that says no drilling required. Would not buy this again.
Product looks like it will perform adequately for my intended uses. Installation was a 2.5 hour ordeal, however. The installation instructions were barely adequate. The parts list did not contain all of the nut/bolt head sizes, which would make it easy to find what size socket or wrench to use. The mounting brackets for the hitch receiver did not fit onto their appropriate locations without modifying the factory bumper flanges with an angle grinder, a forty minute job I was not expecting to encounter. The existing weldnuts that the mounting brackets were supposed to bolt to were not useable, so I had to drill two new holes in the mounting brackets and use the hardware for earlier models of my vehicle to gain the final two bolt points. The installation took at least three times longer that it would have if everything had actually lined up.
The product is great! it shipped faster than I thought possible, installation was a breeze, minus the difficulty of a rusty old van. I even made a mistake with my email and customer service was great and accommodated quickly.
Fast shipping, and looks great
I believe this is the fourth hitch I have ordered from etrailer.com. All have been very well engineered and carefully produced to fit the vehicles I ordered them for. The first was our 2004 Subaru Forester and I learned a lot from that installation. The install videos were great. The next was for my 2007 Dodge crew cab 4X4 and it was a little easier because of the higher ground clearance. I installed another on our 2012 Forester after we traded and it went in very quickly. The last was about a year ago when I installed a hitch on my '94 Chevy Van project vehicle. I'm currently 72 years old and if I can do these installs I think anyone can. I always order the recommended wiring kit for each vehicle and they have always worked perfectly.
I ordered a class III hitch for my 2000 chevy astro and it was supposed to be delivered on Friday. This one never got delivered and the tracking updates stopped. Called UPS and they said the package was misplaced or lost. Called E-trailer on Tuesday, Monday was a Holiday and they verified that the package was lost. Etrailer shipped out another or replacement and it got to me Saturday. Installed it myself on the van following their instructiona and the video. Took me a couple of hours, but everything worked the way it should. I would do business with this company again.
Well built ,easy to install fast shipping for a good price I would recommend this to anyone who wants a durable quality American made hitch. Used it for a year now and holding up like new and the paint coating resists rust and salt from Wisconsin winters.
I found this site extremely useful looking for an older model application which most companies didn't even stock. they did in not only this rating but many of the other popular applications (I chose 600lb tongue weight)
Hitch arrived fast (I was surprised to see it sitting on days) my front porch within days and when unpacked it was in perfect shape, all the hardware inclosed and not even a scratch on it. It is still a little cold out for me to install it so I'll update with pictures in a few weeks.
Thanks George, now I can get my sailboat out of storage and bring it home for prep to launch this spring.

Great hitch! Easy to install. The 3 piece construction makes it no problem for a 1 chicken install. Minor damage to the box in shipping but the hitch was spotless. Hardware also packed well so it did not come loose in shipping.
Trailer hitch has been performing as prescribed so far. Instructions were somewhat confusing for installation. I'd have to see how often the bolts have to be tighten to determine the real quality of the product.
Very impressed! Great quality, easy to attach, looks great! Everyone so impressed on the cost! Fast delivery with great customer service! Very knowledgeable when it came to ordering what I needed! Will recommend highly!!! I plan on doing a lot of camping now that I have my hitch!
This hitch was just hat I needed. It has three separate parts each installed individually. Being 74 years old the thought of lifting a one piece hitch laying on my back in the grass was not an agreeable prospect. It went together without a problem. This company delivered it very quickly professionally packaged.
The hitch has been excellent on my 94 Astro, even though I do not use it daily I expect it to last a very long time. Install was not bad and has pulled everything just fine so far.
Everything was OK. I did have to make a slight modification to two bolts, grind the edge to make the alignment in the bottom corner to clear the rounded edge of the frame of the shasis.
Arrived lightspeed! And was priced right. This US built unit is very solid with a nice finish albeit not perfectly designed. The install video was good. Cons are that it doesn't use the furthest forward bolt holes, doesn't come with frame bolts, and bolts together at the brackets.
Everything was more than expected. Quick delivery, exact fit as advertised, all parts received for ease of installation. Quality was superior. Will be ordering another hitch for my Nissan Rouge in the near future.
