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.

Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch.

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.by: Scott04/27/2023
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 am still happy with the hitch, what really made the difference for me was the hardware included, it really made installation easy.

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.

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

The hitch receiver that I ordered was in stock and arrived at my house quicker than I expected. Removing the old hitch and installing the new one took about half an hour. The included hardware worked perfectly.

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: James10/24/2023
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.

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

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

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

After a year, pulling a friend or two out of the snow or towing with in limit, Ive been happy with it. When I first called and ordered it they it would fit. Could not have lined up better. Two man job but a good investment. Would order again in the future.

My old hitch receiver was rusted out so I needed a new one asap. This was easier to install than it was to get my old one off and it seems very good quality for the price!
by: Allan 04/12/2024
Well I was really happy with the quality and workmanship but I had to use a cutting torch and welder to move the bumper support bracket it was .5 “ off center front to back.

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...

The hitch has a 6000 lb towing/600 lb tongue weight capacity or 10000 lb towing/1000 tongue weight if used with weight distribution. For a higher capacity, the Curt # 14301 has a capacity of 10000 lb towing/1000 lb tongue weight or 12000/1200 lbs if used with weight distribution. I've linked to installation videos and instructions for the hitches mentioned above.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch For A 2010 GMC Sierra 1500The 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...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch for a 2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness I verified that there is a trailer hitch receiver that fits your 2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness. It is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver item # e83ZR. It fits both the Forester and the Wilderness model because they share the same frame. This hitch will bolt to your frame with included hardware. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness to control you trailer lights item # 118467 along with a ball mount kit item # C45534.
view full answer... - What Trailer Hitch for a 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 Fits Long Bed ModelsThe 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.

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...

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.

However, I do have an alternate option available. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13211 will have the same weight ratings of 6,000 pounds towing (10,000 pounds with weight distribution), and 600 pounds of tongue weight (1,000 pounds with weight distribution).

I recommend the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98849 because it is a quality hitch with a matte black finish that is going to hide any potential scratches while also being the most economical option for a trailer hitch on your truck.

view full answer... - Will Trailer Hitch From 1996 Chevy Silverado fit 2004 SilveradoYou will need a new hitch for your 2004 Chevy Silverado 1500. The frame changed starting in 1999 with the next model, so the hitch from your 1996 Silverado will not fit the 2004. The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98849 fits the 1999-2013 Silverado 1500 and would be a great choice for your truck.

Yes, the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket # HM40975 will fit on your 2002 GMC Sierra 1500. It will connect directly to the factory wiring connector located behind your rear bumper. The included universal mounting bracket will allow you to secure it to the bottom of your bumper. You will be able to use this with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98849.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Lowered 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500If you have the stock bumper then the hitches made to fit the stock bumper would work well for you. For that we have the etrailer.com hitch part # e98849 as a confirmed fit. This won't fit behind the license plate though. The roll pan bumper hitches like the part # 13932 might work for this since that's how they install but we can't guarantee they'll work with the factory bumper.

Instead, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98849 which is a direct bolt-on fit. It has a 2" opening with 6,000 lb weight capacity great for towing.

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...
view full answer... - Would Trailer Hitch from 2011 Silverado 1500 also Fit 2018 ModelThe 2011 and 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 models were different enough that the hitch fits had to change. So for example, the # e98849 fits the 2011 but not the 2018 and the # e98860 fits the 2018 but not the 2011.

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.
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch Receiver & Brake Controller For 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500I recommend getting a 2 Inch Class III Hitch Receiver # e98849. That will be great for what you're planning to tow. It has a 6,000 lb max gross trailer weight capacity. As far as the braking system goes, the best and simplest brake controller on the market is the Curt Echo # C51180. This doesn't require all the wiring that comes with a traditional braking system and is all controlled by your phone. Super simply and easy.

It atill works very well. I use it a lot to pull a utility trailer. It has held up well and I think it will never fail.
