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.

Ordered wrong part. They graciously handled my mistake and sent out correct part right away.



by:

The receiver on the hitch is too big. There is too much play between the inside of the receiver and any attachments that one may use. I had to put shims in mine to keep the attachments from moving up and down and side to side. That is a dangerous situation. I'd never buy this hitch again!



by:

Works as intended. would be 5stars, except i needed to borrow a Highjack to separate the outter ends of the mount as they were bent in upon arrival. not enough to deterr from suggesting this to others, but was no a direct bolt and go either due to this. Works great and have had no issues during use.

Looks and preforms great, had to run a tap in the existing holes because they were 10 years old & needed some attention. Overall very satisfied!!!

I was very pleased with how quickly I received my product. I didnt find my bolts at first but got specific instructions on where they were. Thanks guys!!



by:

I ordered early afternoon and received confirmation that the order had shipped that same afternoon. I prepped the Liberty(removing the stubborn bolt and chasing all the welded nuts). The hitch arrived two days early. I removed it from the box and placed it on my motorcycle jack, rolled and lifted it into place and bolted it on. Easy!

  • 2010 Jeep Liberty Trailer Hitch Receiver Recommendation
    The trailer hitch I recommend picking up for your 2010 Jeep Liberty is the etrailer Hitch # e85AR because it has a matte black finish that does a great job blending in with black trim on your vehicle, and handles scratches from road debris much better than the glossy black finish does. If you let me know what you plan on using the trailer hitch for I'll be more than happy to make an additional recommendation for you!

  • What Size Bolts Are Used To Install The etrailer Receiver on a 2009 Jeep Liberty?
    The hardware with our etrailer Receiver # e85AR for your 2009 Jeep Liberty is M12-1.75 thread. We do include this size in our Metric Tap Kit # PT22FR if you do not already have it. A Brush # 814092 will also help you clean out the threads with some cleaner solvent. I recommend installing the 4-Way # C56334 in the event you need to connect to the lights on a small trailer or add Auxiliary Lights # C53201 to a hitch mounted accessory.

  • Best Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For a 2012 Jeep Liberty
    I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e85AR for your 2012 Jeep Liberty. This is our only receiver with the matte black powder coating that gives it a factory look since it matches the trim. It also has a 2" receiver for a wider variety of hitch mounted accessories and ball mounts. You will want to install the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118554 when you install the receiver. This will give you a 4-way flat connector that you can use with most small trailer to control the...

  • 2012 Jeep Liberty Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations
    I really like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e85AR for your 2012 Jeep Liberty because of the matte black finish. I've used a few of these on my vehicles and I like how well they blend in with the vehicle trim and hide scratches from road debris. If you're in the market for a bike rack I recommend checking out the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR which is just a great, all-around bike rack that's compatible with pretty much everything on the market plus it comes with industry...

  • 2012 Jeep Liberty Trailer Hitch and Cargo Carrier Recommendations
    The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e85AR is a great option for your 2012 Jeep Liberty, and I recommend pairing it with the 22x60 Flint Hill Goods Cargo Carrier # FHG49ZR. I really like this carrier because it has an aluminum construction but it can still handle 500 lbs of cargo weight. This means you have a lightweight carrier that's still durable and can better withstand the elements than most other carriers on the market. I've attached a review video for you to check out.
