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.

The ups guy draggged the hitch on my driveway that I sealed and scraped up the hitch from the bottom

Great product, fast shipping, I had my granddaughter Nevaeh help me, she is working on being a mechanic, so no better way then have her do it, I also told her always try etrailer for her parts first!?



by:

No drill installation on my truck making it a perfect fit. Works as it should.



by:

It came well packaged and easy to assemble. As far as installation goes, it was possible to do by myself, but a second person would have been much appreciated. One of the bolt holes on the passenger side didn't quite line up, but I was still able to get the rest of the bolts in without much difficult. Possibly due in part to a slightly worn frame, but the lockwashers the go inside the frame tended to spin, making the nuts somewhat difficult to get on at first, but a pair of locking pliers helped immensely. One of the bolts on the driver side did end up sticking into the leaf spring, and after a year has worn the bolt down a fair amount, though I haven't noticed any damage to the leaf spring on any of the multiple occasions I have checked. I've only used it a few times (hauling a mower/new plants in a 12' flatbed trailer) in the year that I have had it, but it has done its job well, and has not required any maintenance. Overall a fairly good product, and is certainly worth looking into getting.



by:

Excellent customer service and high-quality product. This hitch receiver fit perfect and was very easy to install on my 2005 FX4 F150. I didn't have to disconnect the exhaust to install but needed to remove both tires only to torque the bolts to specified limits. Highly recommend this hitch and etrailor supply.



by:

Great product at a great price. All equipment came with excellent directions and all parts needed to assemble the trailer hitch. I towed my 21 foot boat 160 miles and had no issues. I highly recommend Curt Products.



by:

Shipped on time. Box in good shape. Snug fit. Took a bit to put on because I didnt have a floor Jack and had the press it. The only thing that was slightly off were the flanges that bolt to the bumper toe chain holes. Threading the fish wire was a little tricky in two spots but it's on and I'm pleased. Haven't towed my trailer yet but looking forward to it. Didn't want to have to drill holes. Didn't have to.



by:

Took me 40 min to install.I was on my back on the ground just by myself. I was reading the other reviews and theres no way this should take over an hour. I also chose not to touch the exhaust and just left it in place for the installation. I used a bottle jack with a 4x4 on the receiver and then a jack on either end. After it was in place the bolt holes were all pretty much lined up. Very easy to assemble with no problems what so ever. Would definitely recommend this product. DO NOT listen to the other reviews that says it takes hours. As long as you can block it up by yourself it is a very simple project



by:

NOTHING OR NO ONE IS PERFECT. ALWAYS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT.



by:

Excellent product. Fit perfectly even with a bent bumper. Arrived in a couple of days. My only complaint is the poor packaging. The box was all torn up and the hardware bag open and pieces loose. Thankfully the driver picked them up!



by: 04/27/2021

This went on pretty easily. Ran into a little hiccup, but a little use of a pry bar and it did the trick. Very satisfied with this purchase.



by:

Had the product in 2 days. Excellent shipping. No missing parts and instructions were easy to follow. Took about 2 hours to do by myself. Could of done it faster but I wasn't in a rush and took my time. Will order again from this site!!



by:

If you are doing this job by yourself and at floor level, plan on 4+ hours.
You will need a 2 ft X 4 ft piece of plywood, a floor jack, a bottle jack, 4 jack stands and a large wide blade flat tip screwdriver. The screwdriver is used to help line up the holes so you can get the bolts in. Remove both back tires to give you more room to work.
Maybe the company needs to make a video of a one man, floor level installation. Not everyone has access to all of the nice equipment needed to do the job in 30 minutes. The rating is for the installation instructions. The product is excellent, very well built.



by:

One year in I can say this thing is well built. It is also not too bad of an install but it helps to have a buddy to hold it up while you secure it.



by:

Hitch was just as discribed, Put on by myself in appox. 45 min.. Just wish I had seen the fish wire demo. before starting. I did not have to lower the exhaust for this to fit. Zac please send me etrailer.com decals so i can put them on my hitch to advertise for you. Thanks again for great help with my order. Wayne

I needed to add a hitch to my new to me 2004 Ford F150 extended cab, long bed truck. After cruising the internet, came back to e-trailer for the no cut 6000lb rated hitch. It is a beast, and for a 67 year old guy installing it, was a little intimidating to do it by myself. I dropped the spare just for room, and made a plywood cradle to roll it into position with a small furniture dollies on the each end, so that the center was open to use a floor jack to raise it. It took a while to get the hitch centered and balanced but once there it raised into position OK. Followed the insertion pattern for the bolts (first at the receiver, and then the others). the fishing wires worked OK, took some finesse to get the first one in, and since this is not at all a new truck, lots of dirt falling off. It was a challenge to torque all the bolts to close to the torque settings, not all that easy to hold the bolts and then torque them at that high a level. Have used it to tow my 3500lb boat and various trailers. Checked torque again on a few bolts with no problems. I would certainly do this installation again, and have had a few folks ask if it was worth it, it was.



by:

Dry print and great to deal with!



by:

Trailer was delivered without any problems. The product fit well and was easy to install, however there is one hole that doesn’t quite line up. I will need to drill out the remaining hole to put in the last bolt. Overall, I’m happy with the purchase and would recommend.



by:

The part came 3 days early! Couldn't be happier about that. It's nice to have the parts and know you'll be able to do your job for the customer as scheduled. The part came packaged poorly such that it was cosmetically damaged and some of the mounting hardware was missing. Definitely disappointing. The damage was in the area of the part such that mounting on the customer vehicle it would be visible. Not good. The result is that I have 3 days to do a professional repair/repaint on the part. The hardware that went missing was off the shelf nut, bolt and washer such that I can replace it easy. Luckily the "custom" hardware wasn't lost. Overall I will be able to satisfy this customer on time with a good product it just cost me 3 times the labor it should have. My customer will be pleased.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2005 Ford F-150
    The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2005 Ford F-150 is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e58KR. I really like this hitch because it has a matte black finish that not only looks better but is more durable than the classic glossy black finish we see on all of the other trailer hitches for your truck. This is a custom fit hitch so you don't have to do any drilling but you will need to lower the exhaust for the install.

  • 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...

  • Best 2005 Ford F-150 Trailer Hitch Receiver
    The best trailer hitch receiver for your 2005 Ford F-150 is the etrailer # e58KR. What sets this apart from the rest of the options that fit your truck is the matte black finish. Not only does this do a better job at blending in with the trim on the truck, but it also serves a practical purpose and hides scratches from road debris better than a glossy finish does that we see on the other hitches. Since the weight ratings are all similar it really comes down to the finish and that's where...

  • Ball Mount Recommendation for 2005 Ford F-150 with etrailer Hitch Receiver
    I recommend pairing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e58KR on your 2005 Ford F-150 with the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10048BB. I really like the Tow & Stow ball mounts because they not only have the ability to store under your hitch receiver, but the triple hitch ball setup means you are capable of towing virtually any trailer you need to. Attached is a review video for you to check out!
