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.

Easy to install, I recommend watching the video. I rigged a hitch drop to my floor Jack and it made the solo install a breeze! I didn’t want to drill at my new frame to help the bolts fit in the access hole either. Instead I shaved a millimeter off the edge of each bolt head with a bench grinder on one spot and they fit right in.

Still holding strong…use it regularly for my e-bike rack.



by:

Product fit perfectly with the vehicle. I filed just a little from one side of the bolts instead of the subframe on the vehicle and it fit great. Easy install with a great instructional video from etrailer.

The hitch was/is excellent - Directions were rather vague - not as simple and easy to install as they suggested. I work in a High School Vo-Tech and the Auto-Body teacher and a couple students did the installation - Their comment - a little more difficult than suggested - Installation not meant to be done by a layman. I love the Hitch - Thank you and have a nice day

Great product that was supplied with all components to allow an easy install. Great online instructions.

Goes on great. Fitment is perfect and the video made it easy to install.



by:

Very polite and keep you informed of the status of your order. Will definitely order from etrailer again.



by:

Mounted the receiver yesterday. Receiver is very well built. Instructions could have been better. Instructions are clear on where to trim the bumper cover but do not mention modifying the heat shield that is behind it.
Overall a good fit and a well made product.

Well built, great price (I got it on sale for $171), easy to install if you have some knowledge of simple hand tools. Watched install video on YouTube couple times before installing

2024 Ford Bronco Sport

Great product, and speedy delivery.



by:

Easy installation. The cutout area needed to be an inch longer but otherwise great product.



by:

I am very type A and very handy with tools. I ordered this for my 2021 Bronco Sport that is parked at our secondary home. Overall the installation is straight forward, however there is no mention at all of having to modify the exhaust heat shield located within the bumper. Had I know this I would of brought different tools to our secondary home. The bumper fascia attaches to this shield. Overall it still installed OK, but it bothers me that it is not perfect. Templated instructions to modify the exhaust heat shield would be appreciated, no way this goes on flush against the frame without notching it. Also the bumper cutout is not even close.



by:
2022 Ford Bronco Sport

My 14 year old son helped me install it.
Fairly
straight forward. We actually used a video meant for the Curtis class three on the same vehicle.
Instructions were ok. We found that the aluminum heat shield needed a V notch cut into it. (I used a bench grinder and that took about 2 minutes). Otherwise the frame of the hitch will hit against the shield and keep one from seating and aligning the hitch properly.
Hitch was heavy and very well made.
I would recommend.
It took us about an hour and a half, pausing to watch the video and getting necessary tools etc.and working through the process cautiously. After having installed one I’m pretty sure I could install one in about 30 minutes.



by:
2023 Ford Bronco Sport

Great workmanship on this part.
Welding
great.
Finish is great.
Packaging withstood the shipping as most do not in my area.



by:

Only took about an hour and a half to install. Only needed help holding hitch in place to bolt up. Tackling the wiring next. Should be easy by following video.



by:
2022 Ford Bronco Sport

Bolts right to frame. Read instructions watch YouTube video, no problem. Done by myself 1.5 hours.



by:

Simple to install and easy clear instructions with all the hardware included.

Well built and easy installation

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch/Trailer Wiring For A 2022 Ford Bronco Sport
    I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e57KR over the other hitches that are confirmed for your 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. I like the etrailer hitch because it has a matte black powder coating that will hide the scratches and scuffs that you would get from rocks and flying road debris better than the other hitches that we offer. The etrailer hitch also has a concealed cross tube so after installation will provide your Bronco Sport with a clean off the factory lot look with only...

  • Curt vs. etrailer Trailer Hitch For 2024 Ford Bronco Sport
    One difference exists between the Curt and etrailer trailer hitches for your 2024 Ford Bronco Sport, and that is the finish. The etrailer hitch has a matte black finish, while the Curt hitch has a glossy black finish, so you can choose which you prefer. The hitches that fit your '24 Bronco Sport are the following part numbers: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e57KR - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C76HR The matte black finish does hide those inevitable scuffs and scratches better than...

  • Comparing Curt and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2024 Ford Bronco Sport
    There is no difference in the quality or the material used to make the Curt # C76HR and etrailer # e57KR. The hitches have the same design and installation process. They also have the same max gross trailer weight of 3,500 lbs and max tongue weight of 350 lbs. The only difference between the two hitches is the powder coat finish. The Curt has a glossy finish while the etrailer hitch is matte black. I prefer the matte finish since it tends to look better while helping to hide dirt and...

  • 2024 Ford Bronco Sport Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness Recommendations
    The absolute best trailer hitch for your 2024 Ford Bronco Sport is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e57KR because of the matte black finish. This not only looks better, but is also more durable than the classic glossy black finish that we see on the other options available. I've actually had a few of our etrailer hitches installed on my personal vehicles and I've never been disappointed with them! Then for wiring I really like the Curt T-Connector # C47WR because it tees in behind...

The receiver is rated for up to 525lbs of tongue weight and 3,500lbs of total trailer weight.

    I recommend installing our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e57KR on your 2024 Ford Bronco Sport. Our receiver has a matte black finish and the design with the hidden cross tube gives it a clean OEM appearance. You will want to install the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter # C59236 when you install the receiver.

  • Comparing etrailer and Curt Trailer Hitch for 2024 Ford Bronco Sport
    The only difference between the Curt # C76HR and the etrailer # e57KR is the finish. Outside of that, they have the exact same design and capacity. The Curt has a glossy finish while the etrailer hitch has a matte black finish. I prefer the matte finish since it gives it more of an OEM look on a vehicle like your 2024 Ford Bronco Sport. It also helps hide dirt and dings. I have attached an installation video below for your reference.

  • Comparing Curt, etrailer and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receivers For a 2024 Ford Bronco Sport
    First the only difference between our etrailer Receiver # e57KR and the Curt # C76HR is the finish. We have Curt manufacture our receiver in a matte black finish rather than their gloss finish. Personally I feel the matte finish looks better and these hitches are much easier to install than the Draw-Tite # DT93MR. The Draw-Tite will require you to remove the rear bumper fascia and impact structure which most people would find difficult. So I would recommend our etrailer Receiver # e57KR...

  • Why Does The Trailer Wiring Kit For a 2023 Ford Bronco Sport Require Connecting To Vehicle Battery?
    The power wire ran to the battery with the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK46FR is what powers the module and sends power to the trailer. This module combines the separate turn signal/brake lights into the single wire used on trailer as well as reduces power strain put on the factory wiring. Since vehicle wiring has gotten thinner to save on costs you cannot pull enough power from the factory wiring so the powered converter provides the power sent to the lights on the trailer. If you...
