Rugged, Matte Black Finish

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.

Fits perfectly. Very quick and easy ins tallation.

Shipping was quick 3 days to N.C.. Hitch fit perfect, took about 40 minutes to install

I would really like to leave a 5-star review but at this point I would have to give it 2-stars simply because of the packaging for shipment. I've ordered 2 receiver hitches from etrailer and they were both so poorly packaged that the hitches had busted through the box on both occasions.

The first time some of the parts were loose in the box, but luckily nothing had escaped and the electrical 5-way plug was miraculously not damaged, so I let the packaging thing slide.

The second time, the hitch had abrasions due to it protruding from the box. When I picked up the box both times I could feel the hitch moving around loosely inside. I couldn't let it slide for a second time, as very poor packaging for shipment seems to be an ongoing problem with etrailer.

It's really a shame to go through the trouble of producing a great product and powder coating it, only to have it arrive at the destination scratched up or damaged due to the poor packaging for shipment. At this point, unfortunately, I couldn't recommend that anyone purchase ANYTHING from etrailer.

Perfect fit. If installing by yourself and you have a step bumper use a ratchet strap to hook each side of bumper, then put strap over tailgate that is in down position to hold step bumper in place while installing 2 inch receiver. Very helpful when doing by yourself.

Came with all hardware and instructions. Craftsmanship is excellent and no breaks in the materials

Went pretty easy. 1/2 hour including drilling holes. 1987 Ford Ranger

I'm distinctly a DIYer, 74, and arthritic. Except for one minor issue, it only took me 50 minutes to install. That issue was that the spare MUST be lowered if you have a full-sized spare on a step-bumper vehicle.

The product is VERY nicely made and fit perfectly. I'd recommend it to anyone.



by:

Great hitch, great price and easy to install. The hitch went on a 2003 Ford Ranger XLT extended cab. It did not interfere with the factory spare at all. "It's like it was designed to fit my vehicle!"



by:

This Hitch Reciever fit my '89 Ford Ranger perfectly. Had it installed in less than 30 minutes. Heavy duty design. I've had it over a year now and it has held up great. A huge improvement from the original ball in bumper design.



by:

Easy to install. I removed the rear bolts, bolted the hitch in place, drilled the front holes and bolted them. One tip. Install the wiring harness first. The receiver is 15 inches to the top of the square. The whole job took an hour. Great product!



by:

Once I got bumper bolts removed, took about 30 minutes, with a help of friend holding one side, to mount and secure. Lowering spare really facilitates mounting. No drilling required, excellent fit with easy to follow instructions. Will use to pull my ski boat and pop up camper. Looks extremely sturdy. Like distance from ground to receiver. Highly recommend product, ordering easy and delivery and packing was excellent.

The real deal that is mostly hidden. Glad I did round tubes vs square

  • Is The Trailer Hitch On The Ford Ranger The Same As The Hitch On A 2004 Ford F150
    No, the trailer hitches will be different between the 2003 Ford Ranger and the 2004 Ford F-150. Both trucks have a different towing capacity, as well as a different mounting pattern up underneath the truck when installed. For the 2003 Ford Ranger I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e29AR because it has a matte black finish and we keep scratches and scuffs that you receive from towing less visible. The trailer hitch has a bolt-on installation. For the 2004 Ford F-150 I...

    Yes, it will. The etrailer Hitch item # e29AR will allow you to store a full sized spare tire beneath your 2005 Ford Ranger. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Ranger with included hardware.

  • Trailer Hitch, Wiring, and Ball Mount Recommendations for a 2010 Ford Ranger
    The hitch I recommend for your 2010 Ford Ranger is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e29AR because it has a matte black finish that looks better and is more durable than the classic glossy black finish we see on the other trailer hitches for your truck. Then for wiring I recommend the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM40655 because it tees in behind the tail lights so the installation will be much easier than a splice-in type wiring kit. You'll want to pick up brackets...

  • Recommended Trailer hitch Receiver For a 2008 Ford Ranger 4x4
    I recommend installing our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e29AR on your 2008 Ford Ranger 4x4 with the 4.0L 6 cylinder engine. The frame mounted receiver may require the drilling of 2 additional holes as Ford did not drill these holes in every Ford ranger. There is also not a bolt on receiver for your bumper. I have linked the installation instructions below so you can see where the holes are ahead of time to determine if you will need to drill. If you will need a 4-way flat connector...
