This hitch is built for everyday use, giving you 1,500 lbs of towing capacity and 150 lbs of tongue weight. It’s just right for hauling small trailers, carrying bikes, or adding a cargo carrier for weekend trips. The 2" receiver opening is the standard size most racks and ball mounts are made for, so your gear will fit without needing adapters or extra parts.
You don’t need a lift or special tools to get this hitch installed. The bolt-on design uses standard hardware and the tools most folks already have in the garage. There’s no drilling or welding involved, and the frame-mounted fit means a solid connection that goes on cleanly under the bumper. It’s a straightforward project that’s friendly to solo DIYers.
The steel frame and welded construction give this hitch dependable strength while keeping things compact. A dual coating—liquid A-coat underneath and powder coat on top—protects against rust and road grime even through salty winters. Whether you’re towing or running a rack all year, it’s made to handle everyday conditions without wearing down fast.
This hitch isn’t just rated—it’s tested and proven. Meeting SAE J684 standards means it’s been checked for strength, performance, and structural integrity under real-world towing conditions. You can load up your trailer or rack knowing the hitch is built to perform safely every time you head out.

Ratings & Reviews
Installed in 30 minutes. Is well built, so should get many years of use.
The hitch arrived with one side bent out of true, and by quite a bit. It was bent on the passenger side by about 2 inches out of true. It was most likely missed during the pre-ship QC phase because the box was not damaged. Luckily I had my mechanic's shop install it so they had the tools needed to straighten the side out enough that it can be installed. Didn't look any worse for wear so as long as it still works and is still safe I'm fine.
Still, better QC process should be implemented, as should the packaging. A naked hitch sitting in a box doesn't inspire confidence, not with the way delivery services toss things around.
Great service & fast shipping
Fits perfectly
Bolts provided not applicable.
Easy install
I got exactly what I needed in a timely manner and had a neighbor install it for me. He didn't have any issues and got it done in 30 minutes.
It was easy install. Works great, exactly what I expected.
Had to drill bigger holes for bolts would not fit through the holes in the cars frame.
Easy to install and I really appreciate how fast you guys delivered to me!
Extremely fast shipping. The company provided personal email updates without me even having to ask. Wonderful!
Hardest part of the install was finding a large enough step drill, and orienting the thing by myself. Otherwise wouldve been a 5 minute job. Seems like itll work fine.
Absolutely amazing customer service! Fast replies to all my questions and very helpful. Thank you for being so awesome!
Our forth product from etrailer and we’re as pleased as we were with the others. Quality product and easy to install ourselves. Used it this last weekend and no problems.
I’ve bought at least 3 hitches from etrailer and love them. Easy ordering and fit check to see if compatible with personal vehicles. Always here in couple days with free shipping.
Item was packed great in heavy duty box install info was great looks great on crosstrek Etrailer rocks
Installation was surprisingly simple. Instructions and video were very helpful in getting the job done. Hitch fits my ‘19 Crosstrek perfectly.
Super fast service again, you guys set a high benchmark and I always recommend you only. Thanks
Received this hitch receiver damaged upon delivery. The left side of the frame is bent making the entire part impossible to install. Very disappointed. I emailed once and will email again about replacement. I will update if anything changes.
Installing the bolts and spacers in the vehicle frame was easy. After the bolts were exposed, and the included fish wire was removed, I tied an 8 inch long tiny wire to each exposed thread as I was in fear of pushing the bolt up and losing it in the vehicle frame. Raising the hitch in position by one person on the ground was a bit awkward. I used jack stands to raise the hitch in position and loosely secured the nuts on one side. To my surprise, the hitch plate bolt thru holes on the other side were @ 1/2" away from meeting the vehicle frame bolts. I had to use a wood 2X4 crowbar to bend/force the mounting plate in position to catch the bolts.. Apparently the mounting bracket was slightly bent. It all worked well and I am satisfied with the hitch.
This hitch installed on the back of a 2025 Subaru Crosstrek with only a small issue. Was able to tow a utility trailer with it the next day no problem. However, Please include more than 1 bolt fishing wire in the kit, 3 bolts in I could not get the fish to unthread from the bolt and I had to mess up the coil in order to get it off. Making it a little difficult to finish the last bolt.
The hitch was well made with nice finish, The installation was a little challenging. It only came with one fish wire/spring to feed the bolt and plate through the frame. I wasn't able to remove the spring from the bolt without stretching it out of shape. On the demo video they had four wires to hold the bolts in while lifting the hitch into place. For that reason four stars
First off, for I bought this only because it was the cheaper option and I'm only using it for a bike rack. However it seems built incredibly well and the finish is very nice.
I didn't have a die grinder but a Dremel did the job of opening the mounting holes. I gotta say the bolt fishing line that is included is genius. Install took maybe 30 mins. This also fit without removing my nameless axle back exhaust, which I was worried about.
I cannot recommend this hitch enough.

Installing this hitch receiver kicked my butt. The product is well made but the installation instructions are less than clear.
The instructions rate installation as easy.
The fist difficulty is the note to 'expand hole' in the frame. The frame is hardened steel and the hole you need to expand is covered by exhaust piping. It took a while with a carbide bit but I finally got it.
Installing the bolts with the fish wire isn't difficult but the instructions do not show the front bolt needing the flat plat with the square hole. I figured this out after I had a bolt fished in. Without the plate, the bolt just spins. Getting the bolt out so that I could add the flat plate sucked.
Moving the welded receiver into place past the exhaust piping should be given an Olympic medal - or some kind of metal. Once in place, you have to very, very carefully lift it over the bolts. If your not careful, you'll push the bolts up into the frame channel and then you're screwed. There is way to get them out. Once you have the welded received up over the bolts, you have to hold it while trying to get the nuts started on the bolts. The welded received is not light.
The job is done now and I didn't damage the car or throw a wrench through a window.

Appreciate you sharing this Peter, the tip about the spacer plate is super helpful. Glad you got the hitch installed and no windows or tools were harmed in the process! lol
Joshua handled my business with care and professionalism from Day One.
The hitch arrived on time, ready for my mechanic to install. The technician reported the hitch delivered in perfect shape w/ all the right parts for easy work. I've used the hitch once so far and all looks good. Appreciate the constant communication. Thank you.
