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 hitch was a very good buy. price was good, sturdy, not to bad of an install and the video from etrailer was really helpful during the install process. Overall I'm happy and use it confidently.



by:

Hitch works as advertised. Install was straightforward, some drilling required, but not a big deal.
The bolt holding wire lines were crucial to the install and made my life so much easier.
Would recommend and will come back next time I need something like this.
Thanks!

Great website, excellent customer service. I had an processing issue with free shipping not showing up as an option for my order (despite the order being over the $99 mark), but I was on a time crunch so I ordered anyways. I mentioned this to ETrailer customer service after the fact, and they credited me back the shipping fee. Definitely impressed with the expertise on this site and the responsiveness of the team.

This was exactly what I needed. This high quality hitch was very easy to install. Instructions were pretty easy to follow. The YouTube installation video was a lot easier to follow. Now I can move up to 4 mountain bikes on this bike rack with confidence to any place I want to go. Thanks etrailer.com!!!

  • Is the etrailer Trailer Hitch a Good Option for a 2013 Subaru Forester
    Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e59AR is a great option for your 2013 Subaru Forester. I really like the matte black finish because it looks better and is more durable than the glossy black finish we see on the other hitch receivers. If you don't already have a bike rack I recommend checking out the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # HR4000. I like this rack because it gives you a lot of basic features at a lower price point for a 4-bike rack. Attached is a...

  • Will etrailer Hitch for 2013 Subaru Forester Reduce Ground Clearance
    The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e59AR will reduce the ground clearance on your 2013 Subaru Forester some, but it won't make the vehicle sit lower in the back. The only reason this will sit closer to the ground is because the receiver is the same height as the crosstube. For a hitch that has the receiver sitting under the crosstube we have the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7164. With this model the crosstube is hidden behind your bumper so the only thing reducing clearance...

I really like the matte black finish because it looks more rugged and is more durable than the classic glossy finish we see on all of the other hitches. Then for wiring I recommend picking up the T-One Wiring Harness # 118467 which plugs into your factory wiring plug and then I recommend using the mounting brackets # 18144 and # 18140 to secure the 4-Way near your hitch receiver.
