Specs:
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.
At etrailer we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers.

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.The people at emailed are outstanding. We purchased the wrong hitch, returning it and getting the correct one was painless, the folks there are kind and helpful. The installation instructions are accurate and the install went very well. I can't say enough good things about the product, process and service. I highly recommend this company.
I bought this hitch for a 2017 Ford Transit 350 Forrest River RV even though it was not recommended by e-trailer. The other options were several hundred dollars more so I thought I would give it a try. There were two issues that I had to overcome. First, the receiver was not low enough to clear the bumper. I dry fitted it the best I could and marked out a small area of the fiberglass bumper that needed to be cut out (about 2.5 x 0.75 in). It then fit perfectly. Second, the pre drilled holes did not line up and I had to drill 4 holes in the frame. All told, it took about an hour with my wife’s help (she started the nuts on the bolts while I held the hitch in place. To me, it was well worth it to save the extra dollars. Also, the hitch arrived several days earlier than promised.
This is now the third hitch receiver I've purchased from eTrailer for various vehicles. They have all fit and worked perfectly. And I have found the price to be competitive each time.
Great selection, great price, great installation videos and tools and great support
Package was delivered as promised. All parts were included with simple to follow instructions. Was a 2 person job and took less than 45 minutes. Fit perfectly. No issues. Fit and finish is great and looks great under the bumper.
This hitch is very well made, easy to install but potentially one major problem depending on what you want to use it for. The face of the receiver is recessed about two inches from the face of the bumper. For most trailers this is no problem but if you will be using hitch mounted accessories such as a bike rack with a swing away arm, it may not fit as the accessory will hit the bumper before it is completely inserted into the hitch. Be aware! Photos are of a factory Ford hitch (proud of bumper about 1/4" and the etrailer hitch recessed significantly).

When the hitch is recessed under the bumper you will want to measure the distance needed to clear the bumper. We do have a FAQ article about how to measure for a cargo carrier however it can apply to any hitch accessory.

Very easy install except for the tightness of the threads on the Ford Transit. It's a good workout tightening the bolts. The trailer hitch fit perfectly.

No change. Works as expected.
Very high quality! Good instructions and good hardware.
Would definitely buy from them again!
Great product, installation was not difficult, Excellant servce from etrailer
Perfect it really was. Just what I was looking for at a reasonable price. Installed in about 30 minutes so easy. Fits perfect looks awesome on my ford transit to carry my generator, gas, and propane for my traveling.
Installation was a breeze.
Easy to install and very sturdy. So far, it has exceeded expectations. Installed on three Ford Transit T350 HD passenger vans.
Arrived quickly, packaged well, looked great and fit perfectly. I needed to tap the bolt holes on my van and struggled with one but this isn't a problem with the hitch.

A year later it has worked like a champ without any problems. Ive used it to tow a boat through rough roads and there have been no issues.
There are welded nuts on the frame. I used a tap to clean the threads, there was road dirt, which may have made self tapping difficult. Very easy to understand and accomplish. Delivered free in 3 days.
I saw plenty of pictures of 2015 Transit, before purchasing. Mine wouldn't add any clarity.
I ordered, at the same time, a hitch and wiring for my 2015 Cherokee. Order is waiting for wiring harness. :-(

Ive only used it once, so far. But I do own a 5x8 tilt trailer and had to have a way to move it. No Problems to report. Worked as should.
Professional grade hitch that I could readily install myself at home. I just had to buy a steel tap set to prep the holes on my Transit's frame and it was good to go! The instructions were very helpful. I have a Honda 9k inverter generator mounted on a stand that a local welder built off of this last year and it's been holding up great!!
both products were great, price was good, shipping was good and prompt, thanks
This is the second hitch I’ve purchased from etrailer. I installed this one on my 2019 Ford Transit van. The installation was as expected and the fit was perfect. It is quite heavy so two people are needed. The hardest part was installing the four self tapping bolts that were included but they worked well and the hitch is very secure.

The hitch has worked very well. I will definitely bye another if the need arises.
Worked great
Very good quality hitch. Fit perfect on my Transit van. I opted to used a thread dye to thread the factory holes instead of the included self tapping bolts. Made the install much easier. The self tapping bolds secured the hitch fine.
Very well made in the USA. Weld look great. Shipping was fast and glad they used UPS as well. The one bolt right above the exhaust pipe was a little bit of a PIA to get the torque wrench on but not etrailers fault. Very impressed I just finished installing it. Can’t wait to hook something up and tow now.
It was easy to install and works great
Definitely a two person job. Luckily, my neighbor Claude was there to help. Other than that it was a pretty easy installation!
Bolted right on. Very easy
Easy installation- even in my gravel driveway. Quality construction. Definitely recommend this hitch.
Easy to install and perfect fit
