This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.Perfect fit on a 2001 4Runner. Not sure if it fits with factory spare tire location if you’re running larger tires, so keep that in mind. Seems well made, powdercoat finish is nice and I like that the safety chain hook location is on the top of the hitch. Does not add much rear overhang from the factory bumper and tucks up high to the bumper for hood ground clearance.
fantastic product, great customer service, great price. Looks great on my 4Runner also
Perfect fit on my 99 4Runner Limited. No drilling and I installed it by myself in 30 min with a socket set and a torque wrench. If you have a 3rd Gen that no longer has the tow hook bolts in the back you’ll need to pick up some M12x1.25 bolts and washers to complete the installation. Now I have a solid rear recovery point to tow or get towed out of sticky spots while off-roading. Delivery arrived a day earlier than promised too!
Fast shipping! The hitch was easy to install and fit great. It took longer to get the old bolts off than to install!
We ordered a trailer hitch from etrailer for our Toyota 4Runner. Ordered on a Wed., arrived on a Friday, two days later. Super easy to install (except for a couple of old rusty bolts already on the frame), and now we're all good!! And saved a couple of bucks!!
We feel confident in ordering from etrailer, and will not hesitate to do business with them again!!
Etrailer had the best price for the hitch that I was looking for. The shipping was fast and the installation of the hitch was super easy with the guide that was provided. I have towed a lot over the past year and have experienced no issues with the hitch.
This was a great replacement for the Original tow bar that was rusting and needed to be changed. I didn't want to take the chance of using a trailer and having the Hitch fall apart. It was easy to install on my 4runner and I have used it several times to haul everything from furniture to a tractor. And, yes, I'm also a Raiders fan.
This trailer hitch was a breeze to install on my 4runner. With easy to follow instructions it only took about 30 minutes with the help of a friend which made it easier to lift it up in place. A shop quoated me $260 but it only cost half of that doing it myself. The receiver sticks out a little more than I want but the V design doesn't look bulk under the bumper. I'm very happy with the purchase. etrailer sent it out fast and it was easy to order.
One year after having it installed and I haven’t yet used it to tow so very disappointed to say that it’s already chipping and showing rust spots where chipped. I’m now taking my original hitch to get sand blasted and powder coated to replace this one. Bummed

I recommend touching up the hitch with a rust resistant paint. Road debris can cause chips in the paint over time and the paint is good to have on hand for regular hitch maintenance.

Needed a trailer hitch for my 98 4Runner. Great product. Only reservation I have is that it sticks out about 4-5 inches, which may become a problem when off roading and going up very steep inclines. We'll see. Solid product, easy installation (with 2 people).
Product fit my 2002 Toyota 4Runner SR5 perfectly! I am lucky to live across the street from an auto store so I went there and they helped remove the two original bolts from the towing hooks under the car, in less than 2 minutes. I then installed the hitch receiver with the help of a friend. Easiest thing on this planet! This company, etrailer.com did a fantastic job from the moment I first called with questions, to ordering, follow up and I should add - super fast shipping! I would definitely buy again from them and will recommend them. Buy with confidence. I am a super happy customer.
one of the best bolt on hitched appearance wise for the 3rd gen 4runners! it has kept up well for over a year of use! no issues here! install took 30 minutes solo
Looks good. Survived shipping without any major dings or chips in the paint. The nutstrip instructions weren’t very clear that the last nut did not go inside the frame. Did not include new bolts that were suppose to be on the car already. Even if I had the old bolts it would have been nice to get new ones. Now I’ve got to go find the proper size bolt and thread to complete the install. Overall the hitch looks good though and lines up with the bumper perfectly
Love my trailer hitch, instructions were provided and easy to follow/ install. Amazing customer service and follow up, would recommend etrailer.com to anyone who is thinking of buying any of their products. Thank you for making my experience a great one!
Fast shipping, easy install, only needs two size socket 17mm and 19mm.
Straight forward and simple to install. Very solid construction. As another reviewer said the only part that required any effort was cracking through the rust on the factory 4Runner bolts holding the tow hooks on. Everything else was a breeze and it mounts solid. Just used it for a bike rack so far, but have no doubt it could attach many other items as well.
I am Extremely Happy!!! : ) with my trailer hitch order. Installation was smooth and easy. It took me less than an hour to install including the light kit. I wish all my projects would go this well.
Much Appreciated.......
etrailer shipped this to an APO box in Japan saving me about $300 off the price here locally. Shipped quick and well packaged, zero damage to the heavy hitch. Would highly recommend buying from them in the US or via APO if you’re stationed overseas.
After 1 year everything works as it sho uld.

It is a 5000lb trailer hitch. Installation was pretty easy. Couple of bolts gave me a hard time. It is lower profile than what I had, so i have increased rear ground clearance. eTrailer was easy to buy from. Free shipping is a significant offer. I'd buy from them again.
Frees up a significant amount of clearance from the factory hitch which is mounted below the hitch frame on a 2000 4runner. Simple installation process.
Installed on 2001 Toyota 4Runner. Very simple instal with no issues. The hooks for the chains are on top of the receiver which I am not used to, but the manufacturer picture shows it that way too. I like how it sticks out past the back bumper. Make a nice step to get stuff on the roof.
I purchased a trailer hitch receiver over the phone.
Customer service was above average.
Shipping was faster than expected.
The parts I ordered were a perfect fit on my vehicle.
As always, my shopping experience with etrailer was great. An easy to use informative website, fast shipping with tracking, and great products. I have not had a bad experience with etrailer and will order from again.
