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.

Product is good, shipping sucks,hitch halfway out of box, left end of hitch bent about 2", had to reorder, needs better packing!!!!!

Am very happy with the trailer hitch that I purchased. I had a little trouble getting it to mount on my truck and thought the hitch may have been bent, but after talking with a company representative who informed me that the hitch frame would flex slightly, I was able to clamp the hitch and get all bolt holes to align properly before removing my clamp. I have made 4 major hauls with my truck towing 8ft or longer trailers and have had no problems. Thank you ETRAILER for this product.

I received the new hitch from e-trailer within a couple of days of ordering. I was able to install it the next day. My old hitch had a plate welded to it. I ground that off and bolted it to the new hitch. Everything went smoothly. The old bolts came out and the new hitch fit. I put "never seize" on the new bolts to be sure they would come out if ever needed.
by: 12/22/2022
I’m hoping everything installs without problems. Looking forward to putting it on my truck. I bought the oem wiring harness and that all went perfectly. Thanks

Easy install for one person. 2 tips: Screw bolts into and out of all holes before lifting hitch up. And, keep bolts loose until all 6 are started. Otherwise the last bolt may be difficult to start.
by: Glenn 03/25/2024
Had my mechanic install this a.m. Much easier on a lift. Fit well and handled my trailer easily. Great price and shipping time.

Received the hitch and installed it in 15 minutes tops. It was a breeze. Fits like a glove and it looks like it would from any dealership. I’m exceedingly pleased.

This works great. I got this to be able to haul a trailer one time but of course I can use it for future use. Easy to install.

This hitch is fantastic! Easily installed and I have Hooke it to every trailer I have. Pulls wonderfully!
by: Robert D04/20/2022
Had checked with two local trailer install companies that said $500.00 to $525.00 to install hitch and wiring. Ordered the hitch from e trailer, took me (with a little help from my wife) about 30 minutes to install. Only 6 bolts that went in to pre drilled and factory installed nuts Saved me over $300.00. Third hitch purchased from e trailer and all were perfect fit and great service.

Hitch is still tight and working great. Supports my heavy mobility scooter with no problem.
by: Mike04/20/2022
LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Best value and quality I found after all my research. Installation was a breeze just as promised by etrailer. Purchased the wiring harness kit as well and it went in flawlessly. Sales support was fantastic at time of purchase. Would certainly recommend any purchase from etrailer.

Perfectly! Ive recommended E-Trailer to other family members and friends. Several of whom have gone ahead and purchased from E-Trailer. They are just as satisfied with the installation of both the hitch and the wiring harness. Thank you again.
by: Michael 11/08/2022
Fast shipping. I did not expect it to be so heavy, it weighs more than my trailer! ...and that's a good thing. Really solidly constructed.

I had it for a while before finally installing it. I was able to install it by myself using a couple of jack stands. It bolted right onto my 2013 Frontier without any problem. Highly recommend.

Excellent. I ordered this hitch, wiring harness and 4 pin wire mounting bracket.
Free shipping. Had it in 3 days. Some customers have commented about the hitch mounting holes alignment, the packaging, etc. I had ZERO issues. Could not be more happy with the overall experience. I will definitely shop again when I need any trailer related parts, and will be sure to recommend you guys to my friends. Here's a couple of photos

Shipped fast and fit perfectly to my 2022 Frontier. Side note, this had to be the easiest hitch install I’ve ever done. 6 bolts total and all are visible and easily accessible with just a socket wrench
by: Joe 02/18/2024
I was very pleased with how quickly it arrived. It was fairly easy to install by myself and the holes aligned up perfectly!
by: Alejandro03/19/2022
The trailer itself is fine. Unfortunately, this company doesn't believe in packaging their products properly or using a quality shipper. Not only ly did this take forever to arrive, the frame of the product was bent on arrival, and I can't bolt all of the screws to my truck frame. Really Unfortunate, when this part is this pricey. This is completely unacceptable.

Often times when the holes of the hitch and the vehicle do not line up, it is because the hitch has flexed during shipping. Because a hitches mounting brackets are made from mild steel, the mounting brackets can flex during shipping. If the entire hitch was rigid steel, there would be a greater chance of the hitch being damaged and experiencing stress cracks. I do have a link below for your future reference.

Hitch was quickly received after ordering and installed without any issues on my 2018 Nissan Frontier Pro4X Crew Cab. I preferred this model for the cost savings and I did not need a bracket or mount for the 7 way plug on the hitch since I mounted it in the bumper.

Overall a very good hitch but did a issue with one on the holes lining up but we got er done!!!

So far I've received and checked out the parts ordered. They arrived promptly and seem to be of excellent quality. Instructions enclosed seem adequate and I'm looking forward to a straight forward installation.
by: Tim 07/30/2023
Hitch arrived in two days. I used a floor jack to loft it in place to secure with the six bolts supplied. Cleaned frame holes with brake clean, lubes bolts with fluid film and torqued to specs. 15 minute install. Great product!

I received my hitch and wiring harness kit for my 2019 Frontier within a few days after ordering. The items were well packaged, and nothing was damaged. The install instructions/video on your website were spot on. I had the whole thing installed and ready to go in less than an hour. Fit and finish of the etrailer hitch is very nice for the price. I would definitely recommend etrailer.com to others.

- Hitch and Towing Accessories for 2019 Nissan FrontierWe sure do! I'd recommend the etrailer brand Class III receiver hitch, part # e98869. To complete your towing setup, you'll also need a # C56225 trailer wiring harness to provide a 4 pole connector. For a ball mount, use the # 2923 and for a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball use # 19261 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball. To see installation videos for the parts I recommended, click the provided links.

Yes, you are able to use the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer # e99007 on the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98869.

Of the three the Curt and etrailer hitch options only real difference is just the finish with the etrailer having a matte black finish and the Curt having a gloss black finish.

- Will The Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU64FR Work on a 2022 Nissan Frontier? Yes, you are going to be able to use the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU64FR with your 2022 Nissan Frontier as long as you have a receiver. If you do not have a receiver from the factory you can use our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98869 to carry the bike rack. Anytime a receiver is put on a vehicle I recommend also adding the Wiring # 118266 in the event you ever need to pull a trailer or use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 with your truck.

A notable difference is the safety chain loops, on the etrailer hitch they are a horizontal welded loop under the receiver opening that will not take away from your ground clearance.

You could remove the existing 7-way by unclipping it from the trailer wiring harness and replacing it with the # HM40975. If your truck doesn't have the 7-way currently, it'll be missing the necessary relays and jumper harness needed to activate the tow package. There isn't a dedicated kit that would provide both connectors, but you could use # 118266, and instead of the 7-way...

Very well . And Nissan dealer wanted $1700.00 to do this job. That to me was way out of line . The wiring and hitch were only less than $300.0. I wired everything myself and that took only 40 minutes. Very good design. But was bent in the shipping. I finally had breakmasters do the install and it was a struggle for them also. But it finally came together. And I’m satisfied with the outcome.
