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.

Oh no! Thank you for letting us know. This can happen from time to time when the hitches are shipped to us or while being delivered to you. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you. In the meantime we do have a FAQ that can help with installing the hitch right. Please see it below.

This hitch is more than adequate for my needs. It was fairly easy to install- once I read through the instructions.I had to become familiar with my truck's spare tire tools. Another "learning curve"!

I installed this hitch on my new colorado pick up. It fit perfectly and was easy to install.
Looks great and of course hauls my trailer well.
by: Heath 04/18/2024
Good looking & well built receiver. Though I did have to grind off a bit of it so the bumber would go back to original location for bolts to line up.

Pretty straight forward installing. Bolts right in. Will need a hand to hold it in place to install. A little heavier than the one that was under the tuck for bumper ball. Looks great and fits great !! Also got the OEM style wiring kit. That as well fits as it should and fairly easy to install.

It was easy to install after watching your you tube video. I use it for my bike rack but I got a class3 incase I do decide to tow something.

Great Trailer Hitch Receiver. Simple and easy to install the unit. Followed instructions and video for hassle free install.

We dont really have any detailed dimensions available at the moment for this item. I do recommend making sure it is at a 90 degree angle. I am also getting these dimensions added to our site for future reference.

Easy to install specially after watching the installation videos for the hitch and wire harness. Looks amd works great!
by: Ralph S.04/13/2024
The product was good. The fit was horrible. It took my mechanic 6 hours to adjust to make fit. Yes i ordered the right one. The flanges had to be beat out and then reshaped to fit.It may have been "custom fit" but it wasn't custom fit to my truck. Ordered through etrailer through customer service rep named Peyton, even spoke to her on the pholne to make sure it was correct.
by: Karen 09/12/2023
Had local mechanic put it on for me and it took about 15 minutes. Solid and works well with my bike rack. Thanks!
by: Thomas07/04/2022
Excellent quality and fairly easy to install. Instructions would do well to mention that if you don’t have a lift rack you’ll need two extra people to install.

The welds on the top side of the brackets were not ground down enough and caused the side holes to be too low for the holes in the truck frame. I had to file down the hole to make room to get the bolts in.

Great service on follow up on problem with damage delivery service for reorder to correct damage that was caused by delivery service
by: Danny06/12/2023
I installed this in my driveway lying on back with help. We went by the installation process in the online video.
It took teamwork to break the factory bolts loose. We got tow bar in place by trial and error. The hard part is getting the bumper mount lined up with the bar and the frame in order to get the bolts in finger tight.
The specs for the bolts had torque rated at 160 ft-lbs. I couldn't reach that but got it close. Installation was complete and I cut the tape off of the receiver. Inside were instructions giving torque as 100 ft-lbs. I wouldn't do less than 120.

AS far as the product, first impressions are great! Bought this as a gift for my dad and his '19 Chevy Colorado. I purchase this and the wiring harness. Awaiting until Christmas for an install. My only complaint was the shipping. My wife and I have had too many issues with UPS in the pass and the delivery of these items were no different. Although the items showed up early, I can't get over UPS lying stating a delivery attempt was made. I have Ring video of the time they are stating that says otherwise. Then once the items finally arrived the next day, the box containing the harness was fine but the hitch looks as if it had been dragged around and dropped. You can see from the pictures that the wrapping isn't sufficient to protect it from drops. So, as I said, I would look into shipping with someone else.
by: Jim F.11/20/2022
Excellent quality and value. Shipping was next day, thanks Michelle V. Perfect fitment. Hardest part of the installation was removal of large bolts. Cheater bar needed.
by: Joel12/10/2020
The hitch didn't have a bracket to bolt the support from the spare tire carrier cross member to the hitch. Other than that it bolted to the frame perfectly and fits fine

The hitch lined up perfectly with the frame. I did have to open the hanging brackets with a 2 pound hammer in order for them to slide onto the frame. I suppose they bent a little during shipping. The videos were excellent source material.

- What Hitch and Wiring do you Recommend for Towing 5,000 Lbs with my 2021 Chevrolet ColoradoWe have exactly what you will need. The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98909 offers the 2" reciever and can handle up to 8,000 lbs. when towing giving you a little wiggle room. For wiring the Hopkins 7-Pole and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Sockets w/ Mounting Bracket and Wiring part # HM40975-11998 is the way to go. Not only does it have the 7-way but also a 4-way for different trailers eliminating the need for any type of adapters. I have linked installation videos on each of these...
view full answer... - Can I Use Just the Upper Basket of the Viking Solutions Stack Rack II?The great thing about the Viking Solutions Stack Rack II # 310-VSR201 is that both baskets have a maximum weight capacity of 150 pounds (300 combined). If you just want to store cargo in the upper (smaller) basket of the carrier in order to ensure visibility of your vehicle's license plate, that option will work on your 2020 Chevrolet Colorado. However, there still might be some partial blockage of your license plate do to carrier bars on the bottom basket. If you need a hitch to mount...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2020 Chevy ColordaoI recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98909 for your 2020 Chevy Colorado for a few reasons; it features a hidden crosstube so that only the receiver is visible and then it has a matte black finish which not only makes it look more durable than a glossy finish, but it also plays the part as it does a better job of covering up any dings from road debris. Since you will be using this for towing you also need the Wiring Kit # HM11141144 as well as a ball mount. For the ball mount...

- Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit for 2021 Chevy ColoradoThe trailer hitch receiver that will fit your 2021 Chevy Colorado WT - and in fact will fit all models of 2021 Chevy Colorado - is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98909. This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver and is a bolt-on installation so no drilling is required into your truck's frame. It also has a really nice matte black finish which is going to do a much better job of hiding the inevitable nicks and scratches than other hitches with a glossier coat. I have added a photo...

- Trailer Hitch Receiver With The Most Ground Clearance for a 2021 Chevrolet ColoradoOf the hitches that we have fit in our shop on a 2021 Chevrolet Colorado the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76004 sat the highest. When we measured to the inside of the receiver tube the measurement was 18-1/2" from the ground. This will end up being around 16" for the ground clearance at the receiver tube collar. Both the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13176 and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98909 measured in at 18" from the inside of the receiver hitch to the ground....
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2020 GMC CanyonFor a trailer hitch, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receivever # e98909 because it installs beneath the rear bumper for a nice, clean look and it's going to give you the standard 2 inch receiver you need to use your bike rack. If you're planning on towing a small utility trailer and your Canyon didn't come with a factory 7-Way, you'll also need to install a trailer wiring harness. For a plug and play 4-pole flat, I recommend # HM11141164. Otherwise, you can hardwire # HM40975-11998,...

- Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2019 GMC CanyonFor your 2019 GMC Canyon I recommend the etrailer class 3 hitch # e98909. This is a 2" receiver rated for towing 8,000 lbs and 800 lbs of tongue weight. A 1969 Shasta Starflyte should be around 2,500 lbs so this will be plenty strong for this purpose. You can also use the Hopkins 7-way harness # HM11141144 for your trailer wiring. It will be a pretty simple no-drill install. I have linked our install video below if you want to take a look.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Suggestion for 2022 Chevy Colorado LTWe do indeed offer hitch options for the 2022 Chevy Colorado. Of the available options, I'd recommend the US made etrailer brand Class III hitch, part # e98909. The hitch has a 8000 lb towing/800 lb tongue weight capacity, which actually exceeds the towing capacity of the truck itself, so there's no doubt that the hitch is tough. For a trailer wiring harness and trailer connector that provides both a 7-way and a 4 pole trailer connector, use part # HM40975-11998. For a ball mount, use...
view full answer... - Why Does Crossmember On 2021 Chevrolet Colorado Need To Be Removed To Install Trailer Hitch ReceiverThe reason the crossmember on your 2021 Chevrolet Colorado needs to be removed is it takes up the exact same space as the trailer hitch receiver, in this case the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98909 you purchased, and uses the same mounting holes. There would not be a way to use both at the same time. The crossmember is only installed on vehicles without a factory trailer hitch receiver, and with the trailer hitch receiver installed you will have the exact same strength and support...
view full answer... - What Hitch do you Recommend for the 2020 Chevrolet Colorado?For your 2020 Colorado I really like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish part # e98909 it offers a great finish that really holds up well and the matte finish is really nice looking. It also offers a 800 lb tongue weight rating and a 8000 lb. gross trailer weight rating. The exception to that is if you plan on using weight distribution then the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76004 is the way to go. As far as wiring the Hopkins Multi-Tow...
view full answer... - Differences Between etrailer Brand and Curt Trailer Hitches for 2020 Chevy ColoradoThe differences between the Curt # C13203 and the etrailer branded # e98909 are primarily cosmetic. Both hitches would be mainly concealed behind the bumper, with only the receiver tube and the safety chain hooks being visible. The Curt uses a round tube crossbar with a glossy finish, the etrailer brand hitch uses a square crossbar with a matte finish. The cosmetic appearance really won't matter much as most of the hitch is concealed anyway. The Curt hitch has s higher capacity than the...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2021 Chevy Colorado I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver, # e98909 for your 2021 Chevrolet Colorado. This is confirmed to fit all trim levels. It is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver and is a bolt-on installation, no drilling required. For a flat 4 wiring harness, I suggest the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Connector Item # HM11141164. The T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring - no cutting or splicing required. This includes a tail light converter to...
view full answer... - Can Step On Bumper of 2016 Chevy Colorado Be Used After Installing etrailer Trailer Hitch e98909?That is a great question! You can absolutely still use the step on the bumper of your 2016 Chevrolet Colorado once the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98909 is installed. The hitch does remove the spare tire support brace that goes directly under the step, but between the bumper mounting hardware and the trailer hitch receiver sitting directly underneath the step that gives you the support the step needs. If you are planning on towing with your Colorado you will also need a vehicle...

When we test fit these hitches on a 2020 Chevy Colorado we found they measured 18-3/4 inches from the top of the receiver to the ground (about 16-1/2 inches from the bottom of the receiver to the ground). Their counterparts from Draw-Tite were close, with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76004...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch for a 2019 GMC Canyon that Retains the Holding Bracket for the Spare TireIt sounds like you're looking for a hitch for your 2019 GMC Canyon that can still support the spare tire. If you meant something else, just let me know. For the hitch, I recommend the etrailer hitch, part # e98909. This Class III hitch has a 2" receiver with a gross trailer weight capacity of 8000 pounds and a gross tongue weight of 800 pounds. I've linked to a video installation of this hitch on a 2020 Chevrolet Colorado. The installation is the same for a 2019 Canyon. You'll see in...
view full answer... - Hitch for 2021 Chevy Colorado to Tow Trailer with Lower Ball than Bumper BallSounds like the hitch ball location on the bumper ball of your 2021 Chevy Colorado is quite a bit higher than what would allow most trailers to be towed level. So your best option would be to install a frame mounted hitch like the etrailer # e98909 which would not only be lower but also would allow you to use a ball mount which gives you ability to have a higher or lower platform for the ball. Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900....
view full answer... - Why Does Install of etrailer Hitch e98909 Require Removal of Rear Crossmember/HitchThe reason the etrailer hitch part # e98909 requires the removal of the factory crossmember/hitch is because it basically replaces it.
view full answer... - Comparison of Curt C13176 and etrailer Brand e98909 Class III Hitches on 2022 Chevy ColoradoIn terms of appearance, install procedure and weight capacity the Curt # C13176 and etrailer brand # e98909 are identical. Both hitches are proudly manufactured in the USA. The only difference between the two is the powder coat finish. The Curt hitch uses a glossy finish, while the etrailer brand hitch uses a matte powder coat. I personally prefer the matte finish because I think it makes the hitch less visible, but that's purely a matter of personal preference.

- 4-Way Flat and 7-Way Blade Trailer Connector For 2018 Chevrolet Colorado Without Factory Tow PackageYou will need to wire in the Hopkins Multi-Tow 7-Way Blade and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM11141144 on your 2018 Chevrolet Colorado. There is not a plug and play option available on vehicles which did not come with the factory tow package since the wiring is cut under the truck bed rather than terminated into a connector.

They have the same tongue weight and the same maximum gross trailer weight, 800 lbs and 8,000 lbs respectively. The difference is the finish. I prefer the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2", part # e98909, because in my experience it is harder to see scratches and blemishes on the matte finish when compared to a glossy finish.
