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.

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: Paul M05/03/2024
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

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

- Help Finding a 2" Hitch Ball For The Bumper Of a 1999 Toyota TacomaI searched your owners manual and could not find any reference to ensure your rear bumper on your 1999 Toyota Tacoma is rated for towing. Because of this I recommend installing a etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e64AR. This will ensure you do not damage your rear bumper or frame. I recommend using the Ball Mount Kit # EBMK4 with this receiver. It allows you to quickly switch from either the 2" ball you need or a 1-7/8" ball sometimes found on smaller trailers you may tow. I do know there...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2002 Toyota Tacoma For TowingWe can get your 2002 Toyota Tacoma set up with a hitch and the other parts needed for towing your trailer, and let's start with the best option for a trailer hitch that fits your truck: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e64AR This hitch has a 5,000 lb towing/500 lb tongue weight so it's more than enough for your trailer, and I like it the most due to its matte black finish, which looks nicer than the glossier finishes of other hitches and also does a better job of hiding the inevitable...
view full answer... - Recommended Adapter for Additional Clearance With Hitch Mounted Cargo BasketUsing an adapter like the Malone # MPG544 or Flint Hill Goods # FHG75VR will get you the extra clearance you need so you don't hit your cargo basket on the ground. However, any adapter like this is going to reduce the capacity of your hitch by 50% which is less than ideal. If the hitch on your 2001 Tacoma had a 500 lb tongue weight capacity like the # e64AR that would mean you could only carry 250 lbs. This can be pretty limiting since you also have to factor in the weight of your cargo...
view full answer... - 2004 Toyota Tacoma Trailer Hitch Receiver RecommendationI highly recommend installing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e64AR on your 2004 Toyota Tacoma because it has a hidden crosstube and also because of the matte black finish. The hidden crosstube promotes better ground clearance while the matte black finish matches black trim on your truck nicely as well as has better scratch resistance than the glossy black finishes on other trailer hitch options for your truck.

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