Specs:
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.
At etrailer we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers.

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.This is a great hitch and went in easily as I had experience putting in a similar one on a 2016 Prius. There was an unexpected glitch however. The bumper on my 2019 Prius Prime sticks out a couple extra inches from the end of the hitch receiver. My wonderful Thule bicycle carrier has a knob that tightens the hitch in the receiver. That knob pressed against the bumper about a 1/4" before the hitch was fully inserted. I fretted about it for a few days, but finally took a heat gun to the bumper to get it soft enough to make a small divot where the knob fits. The bike carrier now fits and the divot isn't very noticeable. If you have some hitch attachment that fits closer to the bumper, then this hitch receiver could be a problem for you. Measure the distance you need carefully. The hitch pin hole on my receiver is 4 1/2" in from the edge of my bumper.
The photos below are from before I warmed the bumper to create space.
Great hitch, but allot more than 40 minutes for the install. I had to modify the tabs on my bumper mounts but cutting them with a angle grinder, and I had to remove the ball hotch on my bumper which was rusted on. That added extra time, but in the end, it was worth the extra effort.
Great receiver! Had some difficulty installing, but it was mostly the older hardware on the 2001 Tacoma pickup. My son and I got it installed in a couple of hours. The right side of the receiver was bent a little in shipping, but a sledge hammer got it lined up correctly
I just received my etrailer hitch today, I immediately started installing it, followed the simple to understand instructions and 20 minutes later job completed, it fit perfect, it’s a high quality hitch, I’m absolutely thrilled with this product, but the best part of this whole procedure was the professional and knowledgeable help that I received from the sale technician named Marissa, You Rock, ps, this the second hitch that had ordered, the first one from a different vendor, it was totally wrong, sending it back.
It fit perfectly and does the job as expected. Great price too. Highly recommend
fit my 02 tacoma pre runner perfectly
Easy to install on 98 tacoma 5 lug. Just need to line it up well and bolt on. Fast shipping
Had to grind the tabs to go in around the frame. But it bolted up easily.
great service great prices
I am very happy with the entire experience. I received my hitch in fantastic time (ordered Sunday, received Wednesday). I had no problem installing the hitch on my Tacoma by myself, and the instructions were easy to follow
Anytime I need a hitch I start with etrailer first. The quality, packaging and delivery are always outstanding. This is the third hitch I’ve purchased from etrailer and in addition to the great products, they have install videos as well. What a great help to see if I’m able to do this on my own before I purchase. I wanted a hitch on my 2003 Tacoma, believe it or not they had a how to video for a 19 year old vehicle!!! Awesome!1
much better than the receiver hitch that I allready had
Great price, fast and free delivery. The etrailer reciever was a perfect fit for my tacoma, very easy installed.
Wow great service had my hitch in three days.
When installing it fit like a glove slid right into place and bolted on perfect no cussing or swearing.
This is another great product I have bought from you guys thanks
Needs a better box for shipping
Couldn’t have arrived faster! Everything was in great shape & it fit perfectly. No issues, thank goodness! I appreciate that!
Fast Delivery,

Besides spelling hitch wrong in my initial review, I am completely satisfied with this hitch. Rock solid, and no problems whatsoever.
