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.

Good price as well.

Great hitches!

The hitch is a perfect fit for my 2003 Wrangler, and the included hardware is of an excellent quality. Installation was extremely easy (I ended up using the 'reverse pull fishwire' technique as described in the instructions), and the entire process took no more than 7 minutes.



by:

Very helpful and friendly staff. Product looks to be well built and sturdy. Only gave 4 stars due to the fact that I haven’t yet been able to put the hitch through its paces.

Easy install, I did it myself in about an hour.

The build quality of this hitch receiver is excellent -- wonderful fit and finish. It fit perfectly on my 2006 Jeep Wrangler, and the finishes all look very high quality. I put a 1up bike rack on the hitch receiver and have driven 3 bikes about 150 miles and had very little wiggling and jiggling. I am incredibly happy with the hitch and am an etrailer customer for life.

Product arrived within two days and was in good condition. Installation was OK. Hardest part was getting the Class I hitch off the dealer had put on in 2001. I needed this one for a rear shelf attachment. I couple of tips below, however they may only apply to my situation: 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4.0.

1. To get the old hitch off which was a side and bottom mount, I had to remove the plastic bumper end caps.

2. As indicated in the diagram the silver carriage bolt plates should be inserted with the hole end towards the rear.

3. To use a torque wrench on the passenger side front nut, I had to remove the two screws holding the exhaust pipe hanger and let it sag temporarily.



by:

This hitch receiver is very well built of high quality materials. Perfect fit, all parts were included and it came with accurate, easy to understand instructions. I added the reflective strips after the fact. They were not included with the hitch. I couldn't be happier.



by:

Fast shipping, good hitch. No complaints really.

I can't believe it's been a year already! I meant to leave a review in early 2019 about how easy the install was on my 2004 Wrangler Sport TJ, how clear the instructions were, how quickly the order shipped, and how competitive the pricing was ... but a year goes by quickly with a Jeep!

In the last year I've pulled trailers loaded with mulch and more, multiple boats, and even one of those hitch racks for the cooler. This hitch has never missed a beat.
Probably the best testimonial I can give is the stump extraction: I removed about a dozen ornamental bush stumps with a 2" tow strap loop and a chain -- piece of cake!

If you're on the fence, don't think twice. This hitch will bring a whole new sense of utility to your Jeep for years to come.



by:

Easy install and quick shipping
Only
problem is the tailpipe rattles against it
Pro tip: mount the trailer plug in the hollow, stock bumper easy to do as well



by:

Put on my jeep 97 SE TJ. Great paint, easy installation every thing required was in the kit. 10mins to put together. Super fast delivery.

I needed a trailer hitch for a small utility trailer and a bike rack. I was hesitant about ordering a hitch as the dealer had replaced the factory bumpers with tubular ones. I had read that this is sometimes an issue with clearance for the hitch. However, in a response to an earlier question on the site, etrailer had responded how much clearance was needed and where to measure from on the frame. I measured and had 1/4 inch to spare so I went ahead and ordered. It fit using the factory holes, and the reverse fishing technique as described in the directions worked perfectly and it was installed within a matter of minutes. Very pleased with the hitch and highly recommend it!

I priced out a complete receiver hitch installation kit from a local dealer and was quoted $310.00 Purchased the receiver hitch for my 2004 Jeep Wrangler from etrailer for much less than that and my son and I did the install in less than 30 minutes.
I shop on line for just about all purchases (107 in the last six months) This company is at the top of my list on all aspects of on line orders.

Vehicle: 2000 Jeep Wrangler Sport This is a two part review. The first is etrailer and their service. This was my first experience with them and I am IMPRESSED. I placed the order Tuesday night at 8:30 and it was delivered at 12:30 Thursday afternoon. Their communication is excellent. Their website is fantastic for tracking the shipment. I found myself checking it more often than I should have just to watch the progress on the map.

Part two: the receiver. Everything was right, nothing was damaged, everything fit, everything worked the first time. The packaging was good. The Curt receiver is solid with good welds and good paint. The holes lined up. The instructions were good enough. Oh yeah my only complaint is the carriage bolt heads were a little to big to fit through the hole in the frame. I had to cut maybe 1/8" off one side. Other than that you need to have a little patience in fishing the wire down through the frame. The first one took me at least 20-30 minutes and some serious words. The second one went though the first try and took 2 minutes.

This receiver is bigger than is needed for my Jeep but it keeps the hitch the same size as our truck and as long as I don't try to pull 4000LBS with it, oversize won't hurt. It was only $20 more for the 2".

All in all I'm very happy with the purchase and with etrailer.

Great quality and easy to install as per instructions. Thanks for a good product and helpful videos. The wiring harness was even easier to install (except for accumulation of dirt in my face from the covers.) use of safety goggles might be a good tip. My bumper is hollow on the back. Actually a piece of U channel, so after glueing a magnet to the plug I can hide all wiring out of sight behind it.

Product came in a timely manner. Bolted right up to the frame. No hassle and straight forward installation instructions. Looks good and holds my Thule t2 pro xt rack very snuggly.

Will recommend.

Installed on a 2004 jeep wrangler. Installation was really easy and fast. Etrailer videos made installation a breeze. Installed by myself, only hard part was lifting hitch in place and catching the bolt, but I was able to lift one side into place and balance the other side on my knee. After that just install the rest of the bolts and make sure you have a 1/2 torque wrench that can tighten to 110 ft lbs. I highly recommend this hitch!
