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.

Fits perfectly in predrilled OEM holes! Easy installation without any forging, banging or swearing like other hitches I have purchased… Curt, I am looking at you! Super strong and no rust at all after a full New England year of salty muddy roads! A great value

Really nice hitch.......fit Perfectly......took about 45 minutes to install...Easy......Almost all of the hitch is covered by the plastic bumper, only the very center even shows at all....Looks like a CUSTOM hitch! This went on my 2010 GMC Conversion Van......Look at the final pictures...

No problems at all, Im VERY Happy with your product....quality and Easy to install....Thanks...

All of a sudden, my 2014 Chevy van dealer installed hitch started showing wear at the towing pin holes. What was round was starting to mushroom and become more oval. My local only trailers type shop wanted $500 plus to install new hitch. etrailers price was way cheaper and reviews lived up to their comments. It was easy and all holes aligned. You better have a floor jack and consider your options on the plug location.

Nice easy install on my '07 AWD Express MotoVan. All hardware included. Nice stout hitch.

Even though it was back ordered, it did not take long to deliver. Fit was perfect. Went on easy. Can't wait to pull one of my trailers.

If you order this for a Chevrolet Express van you will need the 1” x 3” spacers . The spacers that come as standard hardware will spin in the frame and you will have trouble getting the bolts tight. Once you get the right spacers it is an easy install and the hitch is very nice. If anyone from etrailer is reading this you should change the hardware that ships with the hitch to the 1” x 3” spacers.



by:
2002 Chevrolet Express Van

I needed to replace my trailer hitch. The price was right, delivery was ahead of schedule and the all the parts were there. I need to wait until the weather clears to install but I don't anticipate any problems as the bolt pattern matches the trailer hitch I removed.



by:

Great product! Easily bolts on and works like a charm! Shipping was flawless and fast A+

Very fast delivery and easy installation. Love doing business with this place..

Perfect fit, easy to install…..

Great experience!

Bolted on nice, it pulls great. Would purchase another. Quick delivery and excellent follow up. It's hard to get a good product and service. Thank you, Dave Z



by:

Exactly what we needed I was not only surprised it arrived so quickly, I was amazed the hitch was so easy to install. I bolted right up to the underside with the hardware included into the holes predrilled into the frame by the vehicle manufacturer. If you have and worries about it being difficult, put them aside. it took us less than 20 minutes.



by:
2001 GMC Savana Van

Easy 5-10 minute installation. Everything lined up perfectly!
Recommendation: make spacers longer to catch the inside frame, so if you accidentally nick the bolt threads and the nut is hard to turn, it will catch and you don't have to try and hold the bolt.



by:

So far I have hauled horse trailers, car trailers, junk trailers and more. This hitch has worked effortlessly with my Express Van to expand my capabilities. Easy to install, I have not had to worry about it ever since. And with a load rating of 10,000 pounds my van will fail before the hitch is exceeded.

I see that our customer service department has sent you out some replacements. They should be arriving some time this next coming week. Once you have received your replacement order, we would love to hear your feedback.



by:
2018 Chevrolet Express Van

I received my hitch today, and had it installed within about 15 minutes. The only challenge was that a few of the rectangular washers slipped when I tried to tighten the bolts - even after cleaning the mating surfaces; crafting a few "washers" out of 50-grit sandpaper solved the problem.
After installation, I used my label maker to conspicuously note the torque specs for future reference; you might want to consider adding such a label directly to the hitch for future customers.

Paul

1/26/2020

No worries all is well. I crawled under our van with a torque wrench, and it was handy to have a label that specified the torque right there where I could see it.



by:

Perfect fit and an easy installation.



by:

Was exactly as described install was very easy also etrailer is the go to place thank you for great service



by:

This hitch bolts right in place without any modifications. It was a quick and simple install. It's also made in USA which is the reason I picked it over others. Good quality and well made.

  • Trailer Hitch fit For 2008 Chevy Express Van 1500
    Trailer hitch fits are very specific to make and model of vehicles. It's very often that a hitch for a vehicle will only fit for a handful of years before the manufacturer of the vehicle changes enough of it to require a new fit. So you'll need a new hitch for your 2008 Chevy Express 1500. For that we have the etrailer.com hitch part # e98861 which has plenty of towing capacity and will bolt right up to your van frame.

  • What Hitch and Wiring Harness Do I Need for Towing an 8000 Pound Camper on a 2007 Chevy Express Van?
    For towing an 8000-pound camper on your 2007 Chevy Express 2500HD, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class IV - 2" # e98861. The etrailer hitch has a gross trailer capacity of 10,000 pounds and a maximum tongue capacity of 1,000 pounds. Since you have a 2007 Chevy Express without a towing package, the only plug and play option we carry is a 4-pole connector, but you can convert it to a 7-way. For this route, I recommend the T-One Vehicle...

  • Everything Needed to Tow Camper Trailer With 2021 Chevy Express 2500 Van Without Tow Package
    Hi there Victor; appreciate you writing in, and we can get your 2021 Chevy Express van set up to tow a camper trailer. I'm going to go ahead and assume your van does not have the factory tow package (if you did you'd already have trailer wiring connectors), and the basics of what you need are a hitch and 4-way wiring, which activates the trailer's lights. The correct parts for your van are the following: - Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98861 - T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # 55540 If...

    The trailer hitch I recommend for a 1997 Chevrolet Express Van is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98861 which should be a direct bolt-on fit though keep in mind it is designed to be used with a standard rear bumper. This trailer hitch has a 10,000 lb gross trailer weight rating and 1,000 lb tongue weight rating which will be plenty. If you don't already have a trailer connector, you'll need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C55335 which is plug-n-play then...

    We have just what you would need to add both a 4-way and 7-way to your 2008 Chevy Express 3500. The first thing you need is a custom fit 4-way harness with the Curt # 55540 which you will then convert to a 7-way with the part # 37185. This adapter has both a 4-way and a 7-way on it so there would be no need to unplug it to use a 4-way. If the trailer doesn't have brakes this would as far as you would need to go. If the trailer does have brakes you would need to go a slightly different...

I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class IV - 2" # e98861 which is confirmed to fit your 2006 GMC Savana 3500 as long as it is not a cab and chassis model. The # e98861 has a 1000lb tongue weight rating and 10000lb trailer weight rating which gets bumped up to 1200lb tongue weight and 12000lb trailer weight making it a perfect option for towing a trailer, and carrying a bike rack or cargo carrier.

  • Recommended Heavy Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2006 Chevrolet Express Cutaway
    For a heavy duty hitch for your 2006 Chevrolet Express 3500 Cutaway I recommend the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver - Weld On - Class V - 2" # 41991-07. The problem with using a hitch like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98861 is that it is designed for the cargo and passenger van, not the cutaway, so it has a small hitch drop in order to clear the factory bumper. The # 41991-07 has a weld on installation and will fit vehicles with frames up to 62" with...

In order to tow a trailer you'd also need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118392 which is plug-n-play and the etrailer Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches part # 989900.

  • Is etrailer Trailer Hitch for a 2004 GMC Savana Van Rated for 10K Towing
    Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98861 for your 2004 GMC Savana Van is rated for 10K towing and that's bumped up to 12K if you're using a weight distribution kit. I do also recommend verifying the towing weigh capacity of your van in your owner's manual to ensure it's rated high enough to safely tow the trailer as well. We try to refrain from posting torque specs directly on our site as those can change from time to time if the hardware is updated, but you can find the current...

So for trailer wiring you'd want to start with the 4-way part # 118392 which is custom fit for your vehicle.

    The etrailer Trailer Hitch, part # e98861, is only compatible with the standard 2006 GMC Savana Van, not the cutaway like your Blue-Bird Micro Bus. Unfortunately, there are no custom fit hitches for your bus. Therefore, your best option is to use an RV Universal Hitch, like part # C13702.

If it looks like the passenger van with nothing in the back because it is used for cargo then it is a cargo van.
