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.

Looks good hope to round up a helper and get it installed. Did our Cherokee a while back instructions were nonsense still have all the hardware that wasn't needed. Uses bumper bolts knock it off in 30 minutes. Hardest part is getting it out of the box you've really got it secured.My cat went right in the box to check it out wasn't real sure what it was and no room in there to sleep yet!

Still going strong keep ball hitch in with a little never seize.



by:

For my needs (dirt bike carrier) this product is great. Installation was not that difficult. Very well made. Highly recommend.



by:

Installation was straight forward. I took advantage of a car lift at a buddy’s’ mechanic shop. Made the hitch And wiring installation so much easier. Hauled a HF trailer fitted for kayaks all around the region finding a lot of lakes to paddle!



by:

I've only used this hitch for a cargo trailer, but it has worked beautifully for that. It is nestled just a little deeper than the bumper, so I never hit it with my shin, but it's still pretty easy to put in the locking pin. I was very satisfied with the product, though installing by my self was pretty tough.

Have a large family, even a minivan doesnt have enough storage sometimes. Since our van didnt come with factory roof storage rails, and the aftermarket kits didnt have a big weight rating, I opted for this hitch and bought a cargo rack to go with it and weve used it on every single vacation. Its been a life saver!. We can easily put a cooler and a storage tote on the cargo rack, and all of our non-weather proof items in the van and just drive. We pull up to a rest stop unload the cooler and food tote, enjoy lunch and were back on the road. The trailer hitch has worked perfectly for us even just for a cargo rack! So glad I took the time and investment!

Great product! As advertised the hitch fit well, all pre drilled holes lined up with the holes on the frame! All hardware contained, made this a quick job.



by:

I have yet to install the hitch so I can’t speak to the quality. However there was a significant part that was exposed from the box upon delivery. This could be the fault of UPS but also maybe not packaged well. Hopefully there isn’t any damage.

Rick

Although the hitch arrived where part of it was hanging out of the box. Again maybe the fault of the delivery company, customer service did reach out to assist or correct any problems. However, everything was just fine. The hitch was in great shape, installed easily, and has performed as needed. I would definitely recommend.

It works great for hauling my small trailer and carrying my bike with my van. Thank You!

Using it on my dodge caravan minivan with the swing away hitch and tire carrier. Good quality product and would recommend it to others. And Courtney helped me pick out everything I would need for my project. I’ve been shopping at etrailer now for 20 years and they are the best!



by:

Is working fine. Was a little tricky as I had to get into the frame rails. Two young men helped with installation. All in all, pretty good!



by:

I have not installed the hitch yet but it looks just like I expected and my towing capacity is only 4000 lbs with my vehicle but I would easily bet this hitch would be fine at twice that. I have other trucks with hitches no heavier than this that will pull that much.



by:

Our Etrailer trailer hitch has been perfect. We have used it often throughout the year with no problems. Would not hesitate to buy from this company again! Highly recommend.

Etrailer has receiver hitches down to a science. I'm incredibly impressed on how every hitch I've installed fits perfectly. The instructions both manual and online are a great advantage for installation.

I installed this hitch receiver in less than 30 minutes. It looks great on my 2008 Chrysler Town and Country. Thank you all

No brainer install, just watch E Trailer video & have the right tools. I have installed 2 of these save big $$$ over dealer install



by:
2020 Dodge Grand Caravan

This is my second hitch from etrailer.com. I am a return customer because I was satisfied with my first hitch. This one was even easier to install. I put it on in about a 1/2 hour in my drive with out a jack or second person. I will plug in the wiring tomorrow. I remember how easy that was the first time. I am a little OCD and will run the power wires from the battery inside pex tubing under the vehicle just like the first one. There was nothing hard or surprising with this hitch. I am happy, happy, happy!

It is holding up fine. I use it every week.



by:

The box was delivered to my house, severely damaged and the reason for this is it was very poorly packed. It was merely just placed in a cardboard box loose so we could bang around the whole time. It was being shipped to me come on etrailer you’re better than this.



by:

Tucks up sleek under the bumper. Easy install. Works great. Recommend air helper springs if towing heavy



by:
2015 Dodge Grand Caravan

All the hitches I have purchased always fit without additional work. Great quality and fast shipping THANKS



by:

Works very well, easy to install. plugs into tail light assembly easily. I recommend the following. install the electronic module using the mounting hole and drilling a piolet hole for a metal screw, I used double faced tape--did not hold. Also solder the positive wire from the battery to the positive wire on the module, mine rusted apart with the winter salt.



by:

Hitch still looks great, and is holding up very well. We use it for a wheel chair lift.

Chrysler

2016 Chrysler Town & Country van.
Fairly
easy installation. Only 5 bolts for the hitch itself, 3 bolts to displace the exhaust/muffler. It's better if you have a 2nd person to help lift it into place, but I managed to get it close enough with 2 standing 5 gallon buckets and a 2 X 4 board piece. I jacked up the back of the van and placed on hack stands. A breaker bar or impact wrench is highly recommended. Get some cardboard boxes to lay on the ground which makes it easier for you to slide around on. I plan on using this for a hitch carrier, and once I add the towing wiring, I can use it for a Harbor Freight utility trailer. Customer service was great, received hitch sooner than expected.



by:

About a year ago I purchased this for my wife’s 2013 Chrysler town and county van so she could haul her and the kids bikes. It was easy to install when following the video and does not rattle or have other issues. I would buy again and found etrailer.com best price and good service at the time. I have not pulled many trailers as the wiring kit and process did not seem easy and at the time was also pricey. I hope to relook at the wiring this year. For bikes. Is excellent



by:
2019 Dodge Grand Caravan

Well made, quality hitch. Perfect fit for our 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan. Arrived quickly and well packaged, despite box being a bit beat up, due to the weight of the hitch. etrailer also wrapped the hitch with packaging, and included instructions. It can be done fairly easily on the ground, depending on how big you are. The hitch bolted up perfectly, using the bolts already installed on the van. Clearance between the hitch and the bumper was perfect, no cutting or bending required with this hitch. Very happy with etrailer,

  • Trailer Hitch and Trailer Wiring for 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan
    Part # e98854 works for your 2008 Grand Caravan. This hitch has a 2 inch receiver which is good for attachments and trailers because the standard size is 2 inches. This etrailer hitch has a matte black powder coat finish and will look great under your vehicle. Part # 118552 is a great wiring harness for your Caravan in my opinion. This part is easy to install and even easier to conceal under the vehicle. If you haven't purchased a ball mount yet, I highly recommend part # 989900. This...

    The easiest way to plug your vintage Dethleffs German camper trailer that has a 7-way European connector into the 4-way connector on your 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan is by replacing the connector on the trailer. You will need a trailer end 4-way flat connector # 002402 and a 2-wire to 3 wire converter # 118158. You will make the connections with heat shrink butt connectors # DW05744-10 following the included diagram. If you do not want to cut off the 7-way European connector on the trailer...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan
    First thing you'll want is a trailer hitch for your 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan. For that I recommend the USA made etrailer.com hitch part # e98854 because it has more capacity that you'd need at 4,000 lb trailer weight, installs easily, and has a concealed crosstube which makes it less visible and gives better ground clearance. Then for trailer wiring I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56331 because it installs without requiring any hardwiring or splicing. Since...

    From your question, I believe you are talking about a 2012 Chrysler Town & Country with stow n' go seating. For a great hitch option for your vehicle, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch - 2" # 13364. Apart from offering the highest weight capacity we offer for your vehicle (400 pounds of maximum tongue weight and 4,000 pounds of maximum towing weight), the Curt hitch comes with a gloss outer coating and over the base powder coat that provides superior rust and corrosion protection than...

    The Hopkins Wiring # HM11141995 and Curt Wiring # C56331 for your 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan install the same way but the Curt wiring is much more reliable, which is something you can see right away since the Curt has a 1-year warranty and the Hopkins is only covered for 90-days. If you don't already have a trailer hitch then I also recommend picking up the etrailer # e98854 because it features a hidden crosstube and a matte black finish which looks better and is more durable than the classic...

Instead the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98854 is the way to go. It is confirmed to fit your Grand Caravan and it will allow you to use the same accessories that the original hitch you looked at would because they both have the 2" receiver tube opening.

    So long as your 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan has a trailer hitch receiver that is rated for use with a weight distribution hitch, you can absolutely use one. For the '19 Grand Caravan, the hitches that are compatible with weight distribution are the following: - Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75579 - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98854 - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13364 With that in mind, since your tongue weight is about 300 lbs, you will not want to use a system rated for 1,000...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2010 Chrysler Town and Country with Stow-N-Go Seats

Otherwise they are the same in regards to installation and capacity so I recommend going with...

  • Parts Needed For Towing a 1961 Broken Arrow TeePee Trailer With a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan
    I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98854 for your 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan. This is a class III receiver which will accept a 2" ball mount. As your trailer has a 4-way flat connector you will need the Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56331. Since the trailer has a 4-way it will not have electric trailer brakes. I highly recommend using a Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0600. This hitch is rated for trailer up to 6,000lbs with a tongue weight of 250-600lbs. It will...

All of our 2" receivers mount the exact same way so I recommend installing the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e98854.

    For your 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan, you'd need a new hitch like the etrailer brand # e98854 Class III receiver hitch. A 2007 and a 2018 Grand Caravan are of different vehicle generations, and the 2007 model is different enough that the hitch won't fit on your 2018 model. If you'll be using the hitch for towing purposes, to complete your towing system you'd need a wiring harness like # C55537, a ball mount like # 2753, and a trailer ball.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13389 was specific to Stow-N-Go seats while the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13362 fits without Stow-N-Go seats.

    By far your best option to carry 4 bikes behind your 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan is a trailer hitch and a hitch-mounted bike rack. Your mini-van will ride better without a trailer, there won't be as much stress on the vehicle, and it will be much more convenient to use a bike rack as opposed to a trailer so that's absolutely the way to go.

That narrows it down to three hitches and when comparing all of them they are all rated the same. So I recommend getting this hitch # e98854 because it's the most popular. Since you have plenty of seats in there, when you fill them up you will have a small amount of space and a larger amount of cargo to carry. I recommend getting the this cargo carrier...
