This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Matte black, powder coated steel is durable and corrosion resistant and creates a rugged look.
Features:
Specs:
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.
At etrailer we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers. The one-on-one, personal service you'll receive comes straight from an expert in the towing and automotive field. We've installed it, we've wired it and we've towed with it, so whatever your question, we can answer it.
Hitch arrived in a timely fashion packaged in a double wall box with handles that made carrying very easy. There were a few rips in the box but the hitch looked fine. Had a local repair shop install it which took 30 minutes. The matte finish you recommended matches the rear bumber and looks great! Saris bike rack bolted up smoothly and hitch provides clearance for power tailgate and bikes. Extremely pleased!!
I bought this trailer last year to add extra storage for a trip, and it has exceeded all expectations. The installation was much easier than anticipated, with clear instructions and everything fitting perfectly. Using it for a large hitch carrier was no challenge at all. The construction is rock solid, and it feels like it’s built to last. It has made traveling much more convenient, giving us ample space for all our gear. We’re extremely happy with the purchase—our only regret is that we didn’t invest in it sooner!

So, it has been since we have had it installed and we used it several times. No regrets without a dubt. I am now looking it have it installed on my second vehicle.
This receiver was a perfect fit for my 2019 Toyota Highlander. The mounting holes aligned perfectly with the chassis and installation was a quick one man job. The installation paperwork and video on the website gave detailed step by step instructions for cutting the undercarriage trim pieces to accommodate the hitch. Looks good in the matte finish too.
Trailer doesn’t disappoint! The speed of delivery and detailed instructions on installation are the best in the industry. I studied the instruction gathered my tools and had my new trailer hitch installed in 90 minutes. One of the best product companies around.
Took two hours for two of us to install. Very straightforward. There is some trimming needed on the driver’s side plastic covering that wasn’t mentioned in the instructions, but it wasn’t a big deal. You’ll need a torque wrench to tighten the bolts to spec.
Use this to install in my 2016 Toyota Highlander to tow my Travel Trailer; works like a dream!
I'm rating the Trailer Hitch receiver as a 5 because the instructions were excellent, it installed smoothly, and it looks and works great. My one concern is the shipping container (see attached picture) was badly damaged (and even partially open) when I received it. The product wasn't damaged but since the T-One wiring harness was inside the same box as the receiver, it could have fallen out. All turned out well but just thought you should know.
The trailer hitch was easy to install on my 2017 Highlander with accurate instructions. It required a slight modification to the plastic undercarriage cover which was easily completed. I’ve used it a few times and it has worked well.

I’ve used the trailer hitch several times over the past year and it continues to work like the day it was installed. It’s a great value

I got the trailer receiver in just a few days. I then took it to my mechanic and he had it installed within an hour. Together the hitch, and installation cost less than half of what U haul was going to charge just for installation. I am pleased completely with the hitch. It went above what was expected. My mechanic said it was built to fit tight, but was easy to install.

I'm happy to hear the hitch is excelling in expectations for you, Kerric! What are you going to be using the hitch with?
Fit just perfect on my 2015 Toyota Highlander. It looks good. Easy to install.
Instructions were easy to follow.(watched online video) I backed my 2016 Highlander XLE up on ramps for easy access to install. I used a BOSCH oscillating multi-tool to cut the plastic undercarriage guards - worked great and fit perfectly around the new hitch once it was reinstalled.
BOSCH 18V impact driver with a 9” or 12” 3/8 wobble extension made quick work of the bolts around the exhaust. Very easy 45 min start to finish job if you have a few tools.

Works great! Install was easy maybe took an hour or so and a few beers lol. I use it mostly for a 2 bike rack. I have used a few time to pull our 5x8 Trailer with fire wood. maybe 1500lbs. and worked great.

Website search led me to the exact item I was looking for. Shipping was very fast, especially considering the weight of the hitch receiver. Provided instructions and website videos are clear and easy to follow. I was able to perform all installation steps in about two hours.
Out of all the etrailer hitches I have install for myself or my friends...this one was the easiest. They are all easy but this one was the cake! Love the quality and the fit. Can't beat the price either! I decided to run my 4 pin flat outside the SUV through a rubber grommet. Cleaner look to me. :)
Quick, easy ordering process. Very informative website, comparing all the various options. Delivered quickly and on time. etrailer made my first time purchase process a breeze.
I am very pleased with my purchase.The etrailer hitch is a perfect fit for my 2015 Toyota Highlander. This company went above and beyond to assist me with finding a location to install it.

Ive had my hitch for an year and I have not had any problems. It is very well made the color hasnt faded and theirs no rust. I will be purchasing another one for my next vehicle.
The item looks to be build strong. I haven't had the chance to hook my bike rack to it yet.the installation process was simple and the instructions were very straightforward. Cost wise, I saved a lot by purchasing with etrailer than with the dealership and Amazon.
Great Hitch for my Toyota Highlander. Easy peasy install! You do not have to be very skilled at all to install it, just have wrenches and follow the direction.
The trailer hitch arrived a day earlier than expected.The box was damaged but the hitch did not have a scratch.The instructions were very clear and to the point. The rear tow hitch on the right rear was replaced on the left rear side due to the welded tab on the trailer hitch.The cutting of the undercarriage plastic was simple. Highly recommended the product.

Not a single issue, works great.
Came in perfect condition. All parts/pieces were there. Videos on the site along with instructions were helpful for double-checking all the nuances. I would recommend watching both as one contains a couple pieces of info the other doesn't. Overall - no complaints and would purchase again if needed.
This hitch is bombproof. After one year it is still super solid. It is low profile and looks great. I’ve pulled several things with it but mostly use it for my bike rack and cargo tray. It was a lot of work to install but the instructions were detailed and accurate for my vehicle. I would definitely buy it again.

Still works great. Still solid. Would definitely buy again.
Ordered this past December '23 for my 2016 Highlander Limited. Got around to installing it a few weeks ago. Heavy but easy install by myself using ramps. I cheated and quickly removed a cover panel on passenger rear to more easily get around the muffler. Wiring harness super easy as well. Love the matte black finish. No regrets
Easy to follow instructions. Everything fit as it should and had the correct mounting hardware. Thanks!
So far so good. Installation was straightforward and handles a single bike rack with ease. I was able to install by myself with the help of some 4” wheel lifts and few bungee cords.
Went on easily and as I have expected from etrailer.com. Best price and highest rated. Why buy anything else?

That's a very good question, Joe! Now my question is, what are you going to be using the hitch for?
Fit exactly as described and installed exactly as displayed in the installation video. Easy install, all hardware necessary was included. I highly recommend.
