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.

It's an exact fit. I was able to install it on my own in 20 minutes. It is heavy, so be prepared to have a freind nearby because most of the struggle you'll have is threading the bolts, but my tip is to get one started under the bumper, then move on and repeat that until they're all started, then proceed to tighten it all down.
DO NOT FORGET to torque them down after tightening.
The picture I uploaded with this review shows it looks totally stock.

I absolutely recommend this hitch, eTrailer had the best price both for the hitch itself, AND for shipping.

I was very pleased with all aspects of doing business with etrailer.com from my connection with them online to the delivery of the trailer hitch. Their follow up via email for questions as well as support were appreciated. I would recommend etrailer.com for their professionalism as an online business.

It took me and my friend 40 minutes from start to finish to swap out the old Trailer Hitch Receiver with the new Trailer Hitch Receiver. We didn't have to remove the rear bumper nor move the spare tire. Great product! I am very happy with my purchase!



by:
2011 Chevrolet Silverado

Great product, everything I expected ,bolted right into place where the factory receiver bolts to on the frame,and it also bolted to the bumper where the factory receiver did. Most other brand receiver hitches only bolt to the frame and not to the bumper which l believe gives extra support.Thank you

Literally took the old one off in 12 minutes and installed this one in less than 7 minutes perfect fit.

Ive been using this hitch for about a year and it has lived up to my expectations. The safety chain holes are big enough for my chain hooks to hook in them easily. My original equipment hitch was difficult to hook them into.



by:

The hitch lines up with the underbody frame, but not with the mounting holes under my new bumper. Need to find a way to make it fit under the bumper. Any suggestions are welcome.

Great product heavy duty hitch built very well but only concern was the package was damaged in shipping and the powder coat on the hitch was all scratched up pry have to use touch up paint on so it dosent rust out the spots that are down to bare metal



by:

Perfect fit for my 2011 silverado new hardware, product quality is pristine, honestly looks original beside the fact the original one used 3 bolts on the frame this only uses 2 not complaining at all would definitely recommend to everyone

2010 Chevrolet Silverado

I bought this trailer hitch to replace the one that was rusted out on my 07 Silverado since then I have put 10,000 miles on it hauling motorcycles, household goods, and lawn equipment between Florida, Ohio, Michigan, Vermont, and North Carolina. Installation was a snap, bolted on to original fittings. Couldn’t be happier!!

It was shipped very quickly, super easy to install and, is holding up very well. Couldn't be happier with this etrailer hitch!

2011 Chevrolet Silverado

I have a 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT/5.3L. When it arrived I measured it up to my truck and by surprise, it fixed perfectly. I then proceed to install the hitch. It only took me about 30 minutes to install. I am delighted that I purchased this hitch. Thank you



by:
2013 Chevrolet Silverado

After 1 year of ownership I am very happy. Does its job. Simple to set up with wrenches and came with instructions in case. They also make videos for YouTube certified mechanics. Have pulled upwards of the tow capacity rated for my truck with no issues whatsoever. Great coat of paint no cracking or surface rust yet. Quick shipping, e trailer takes their business seriously.

Probably one of the best upgrades I’ve made for my truck aside from the add-on reverse/rear camera kit that I also purchased here. Can’t say enough good things about this company. If I need something else I will come here first. 11/10



by:

The class 3 hitch is very nice. Beautiful welds and finish. Very solid and heavy duty. I'm really happy with the hitch.

The issue I had was I'm a DIY'er, emphasis on the "Y". So when it came time to install, I found myself under the truck, holding he hitch up with my knees as I fumbled around trying to get a new bolt into the welded on nut. I ended up using the original bolts to secure the hitch, then swapped the old bolts out for the new one by one.
The reason this worked was a chamfer on the old bolt. Made it very easy to find the threads and start the bolt. Attached is a picture. Overall the bolt looks pretty good after being under the truck for 15 years.

As I said the hitch itself is well made and I am very satisfied with what I bought. Maybe you can consider a slightly different bolt.

Bolted up just fine.
One improvement
would be a predrilled spot to attach plate for wire harness.

Well Etrailer did excellent job, correct product good fit and quality for the price (all though when I looked at just a 6 bolt pattern I was double checking the order an confirm with the invoice and read the hardware instructions this is what is used on a class III 2" hitch ) , all hardware included , easy to follow directions and very fast shipping (bonus free shipping on this item ) this hitch went on my 2013 GMC Sierra " without a hitch" the rest is up to you, invest in some good rust penetrating spray apply 24hrs before and good luck

  • Difference Between Curt & etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500
    Good question, and there is just a single difference between the Curt and etrailer trailer hitches that fit your 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500, which is the finish. The Curt has a glossier finish than the matte black finish of the etrailer hitch, so you can choose which you prefer: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98849 - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13322 The matte black finish is nice as it hides the inevitable dings, scuffs and scratches better than the glossy finish, so that's the...

  • Recommended Hitch and Weight Distribution System for a 2005 GMC Sierra
    I would be happy to help you set your 2005 GMC Sierra up to tow your trailer. With that low of a towing capacity I can safely assume you have a 1500. That is what my recommendations are going to be based on. Along with a weight distribution system you're going to need a hitch and a brake controller as well. That heavy of a trailer will require brakes. For your hitch you will want the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver item # e98849. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It is custom...

  • How to install the Etrailer Class III hitch part # e98849 on a 2011 GMC Sierra
    The bolt closest to the front of the vehicle in the photo you sent, once it's removed the hole does not get used with the Etrailer hitch Item # e98849. The hitch will actually use the two rear most holes on each frame rail and the two holes in the bottom of the bumper. The reason one bolt is facing up is because the hole closest to the rear of the vehicle is a pre-existing weld nut that the bolt actually threads into. The bolt facing down will use a spacer block to keep the head of the...

  • Trailer Hitch For A 2010 GMC Sierra 1500
    The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98849 has a maximum gross trailer weight up to 6,000 pounds. You would need to check your vehicle's manual to see what the proper towing capacity is for your 2010 GMC Sierra 1500. You're only as strong as your weakest component so if your vehicle is rated for 5,000 pounds for example and the trailer hitch is rated for 6,000 pounds you can only tow up to 5,000 pounds. The trailer can hold up to 7,000 pounds but if you're under the recommend towing...

  • Is The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver 13301 A Fit For A 2006 Chevrolet Silverado
    While we do have a solution for you, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13301 is designed for new generation models starting in 2007. My recommendation is the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III - 2" # e98849 for your 2006 Silverado because the matte black finish tends to be more scratch resistant than the glossy finishes like that of the Curt. Included are video resources for both.

  • What Trailer Hitch for a 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 Fits Long Bed Models
    The bed size does not matter for a frame mounted trailer hitch on a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, they will all work with both short and long bed models. The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98849 is what I recommend as a pretty basic, no drill trailer hitch. It is rated for 6,000 lbs which isn't the highest for this vehicle but will be plenty for most trailers for this vehicle so there is no need to pay more for a higher rated one.

You'll notice that the Class IV mentioned here has more bolts that attach it to the truck frame as the most obvious difference. Other than that it's more or less the thickness of the metal used etc.
