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.

I am very pleased with the product, the service, and the price! It came on time and it fit like a glove on my 2020 Chevy 1500 pickup..Just like the install instructions said. Make sure you wear eye protection with all the dust and grit falling!



by:

I think that your prompt service is awesome. You sell top quality products and I am never disappointed. Ups totally distorted the box but you packed the products together well. I haven’t installed the hitch yet but I’m sure I will have a good support as I always have in the past on things I bought from you.



by:

First class service ordered and delivered in a very timely manner. Etrailer always comes thru thanks for all your help.

2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Received product within 2 days of ordering. Although box was slightly open I seen no visible damage. Installed within 5-10 minutes by myself. Receiver bolted right up to my 4 existing bolts on my 2019 Silverado.



by:

Great hitch and so easy to install. Put it on my 2019 Chevy Silverado and works like a charm!!



by:

Fit great on my '19 Silverado. Does hug the spare tire pretty tight but not a problem.



by:

Hitch arrived 5 or so days after ordering. Not the best packaging but, being a steel trailer hitch, of course it was fine. No scratches or anything despite hanging out of the box. Instructions were clearly spelled out. My truck only has a single side exhaust so it literally only took 5 minutes to install with two friends. Hitch utilizes existing bolts on the frame so don't freak out when the hitch arrives with no hardware. Hardest part was getting the frame bolts loose. Breaker bar necessary! Side note-don't make the mistake i did and open your box inside. The box had hundreds of tiny metal ball bearing looking guys that scattered all over my floor. Still finding them with my bare feet despite sweeping. Overall very happy with product and shopping experience



by:

Perfect fit. On time delivery. It was easy to install the hitch and plug. Installed by one person in one hour per instructions. Attached pictures of finished install on 2020 Silverado. Plan to use it to pull a light trailer with my desert toys (quads and dirt bikes). Future plans to tow a light weight toy hauler. The instruction's did not require the use of treadlock products. I use permitex treadlock when reinstalling bolts for added security on bolts

chevy 2020 custom 1500
was initially
worried about the trailer hitch because the box that came in it was totally destroyed when i got it. after opening it up everything look ok. just minor scratches no big deal.

took me about 30 min to install on my own. nothing to it. take off 4 bolts and install it. i used a bucket to hold the trailer hitch up where i needed so i can get the bolt in on all sides. not ideal safe way but it worked like a charm. perfect fit. i highly recommend this product and company. A+. the instructional video they had was very helpful. thanks again.



by:

I was very happy with the service and the hitch. I purchased a new truck and could not find a hitch locally. I needed to haul my trailer the next weekend and and was very worried I wouldn’t have it in time. It was delivered on time and took me 10 min to mount it. Thank you



by:

Receiver hitch bolted on with no issues fit perfect looks good!



by:

Easy installation, perfect fit, exactly as described, fast delivery and reasonably priced!
Does not get any better than this!



by:

Order was received only three days after placing oreder. I just finished installing hitch and it took only 20 minutes and removal off four bolts and reinstallation using the four same bolts. I installed by myself with the help of a five gallon bucket but with another persons help would have been much easier. The hitch aligned perfectly.



by:

When I ordered this hitch from etrailer.com they got it out very quickly. BUT UPS held it for 4 days in there warehouse which disappointed me because I had to cancel appointment to have it installed but UPS kept delaying the delivery for 4 days. Why I don’t know because nobody at UPS will give me an answer.



by:

I put hitch on over the weekend. It fit perfectly. Didnt have to lower exhaust or spare tire. (Have stock single exhaust) We have 2020 Silverado.
Another customer suggested using 5 gallon bucket to hold up hitch for solo install. That worked great!!!
Would highly recommend this product and site.



by:

Fast shipping!! easy install on my 2020 Silverado. Definitely recommend

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
    The best hitch for your 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 is the etrailer Hitch item # e79AR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Silverado with included hardware. It is made specifically for the Silverado 1500's that do not come from the factory with a hitch. I really like this hitch because it tucks up beneath the bed of your truck and the receiver sits right below your rear bumper. This really helps with ground clearance. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 6,000...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Recommendation for a 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited
    Thanks for reaching out! I recommend using the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e79AR for your 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited because it has the durable matte black finish that not only looks better, but is also better protection against the elements and road debris than your standard glossy black finish we see on the other hitches. You should already have a wiring socket like the Hopkins # HM40975 installed into the bumper of your truck so to round out your towing setup I recommend checking...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver & Wiring 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 Without Factory Tow Package
    I recommend installing our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e79AR on your 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. This will bolt to factory holes already in your frame so there is no drilling required. You should already have the wiring for adding the factory style Connector # HM40975. This will be found directly behind the rear bumper cutout for this connector.

  • Best Trailer Hitch Receiver And Drop Hitch For 2023 Silverado 1500 That Blends In And Looks OEM
    Yes Dave, we can get you setup with a hitch and drop hitch since your 2023 Silverado 1500 didn't come with one. I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e79AR since it has a matte black finish which blends in and looks OEM, and has the common 2" opening for various ball mounts and accessories. Speaking of ball mounts, you can pair the matching etrailer adjustable ball mount # e66PR with your receiver. It has the same matte black powder coat, and also has a black nickel coating...
