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.

It's an exact fit. I was able to install it on my own in 20 minutes. It is heavy, so be prepared to have a freind nearby because most of the struggle you'll have is threading the bolts, but my tip is to get one started under the bumper, then move on and repeat that until they're all started, then proceed to tighten it all down.
DO NOT FORGET to torque them down after tightening.
The picture I uploaded with this review shows it looks totally stock.

I absolutely recommend this hitch, eTrailer had the best price both for the hitch itself, AND for shipping.

It atill works very well. I use it a lot to pull a utility trailer. It has held up well and I think it will never fail.

The hitch is great, nice construction and perfect fit. All of the necessary hardware was included.

I am still happy with the hitch, what really made the difference for me was the hardware included, it really made installation easy.

Got both items in 3 days and they went on without a "hitch". The trailer connector socket is very easy to install also! They both look awesone!!

Been a year and its still just like new no problems at all sure glad I made this purchase

The hitch lines up with the underbody frame, but not with the mounting holes under my new bumper. Need to find a way to make it fit under the bumper. Any suggestions are welcome.

Douglas

Really nice product.

The hitch receiver that I ordered was in stock and arrived at my house quicker than I expected. Removing the old hitch and installing the new one took about half an hour. The included hardware worked perfectly.

Rob B.

Ive been using this hitch for about a year and it has lived up to my expectations. The safety chain holes are big enough for my chain hooks to hook in them easily. My original equipment hitch was difficult to hook them into.



by:
2013 Chevrolet Silverado

After 1 year of ownership I am very happy. Does its job. Simple to set up with wrenches and came with instructions in case. They also make videos for YouTube certified mechanics. Have pulled upwards of the tow capacity rated for my truck with no issues whatsoever. Great coat of paint no cracking or surface rust yet. Quick shipping, e trailer takes their business seriously.

Probably one of the best upgrades I’ve made for my truck aside from the add-on reverse/rear camera kit that I also purchased here. Can’t say enough good things about this company. If I need something else I will come here first. 11/10

2006 Chevrolet Silverado

Great products and customer service if I ever need anything for my truck or trailers this is where I will be had to replace my old receiver off my 06 silverdo couldn't hav been easier



by:

The class 3 hitch is very nice. Beautiful welds and finish. Very solid and heavy duty. I'm really happy with the hitch.

The issue I had was I'm a DIY'er, emphasis on the "Y". So when it came time to install, I found myself under the truck, holding he hitch up with my knees as I fumbled around trying to get a new bolt into the welded on nut. I ended up using the original bolts to secure the hitch, then swapped the old bolts out for the new one by one.
The reason this worked was a chamfer on the old bolt. Made it very easy to find the threads and start the bolt. Attached is a picture. Overall the bolt looks pretty good after being under the truck for 15 years.

As I said the hitch itself is well made and I am very satisfied with what I bought. Maybe you can consider a slightly different bolt.



by:
2002 Chevrolet Silverado

Bolted up just fine.
One improvement
would be a predrilled spot to attach plate for wire harness.

After a year, pulling a friend or two out of the snow or towing with in limit, Ive been happy with it. When I first called and ordered it they it would fit. Could not have lined up better. Two man job but a good investment. Would order again in the future.

Well Etrailer did excellent job, correct product good fit and quality for the price (all though when I looked at just a 6 bolt pattern I was double checking the order an confirm with the invoice and read the hardware instructions this is what is used on a class III 2" hitch ) , all hardware included , easy to follow directions and very fast shipping (bonus free shipping on this item ) this hitch went on my 2013 GMC Sierra " without a hitch" the rest is up to you, invest in some good rust penetrating spray apply 24hrs before and good luck



by:

We are a car dealer in central PA and have bought several Receivers and various wiring products from etrailer, we have yet to be disappointed. Fast shipping, Quality products, and an easy to use web site!

Well I was really happy with the quality and workmanship but I had to use a cutting torch and welder to move the bumper support bracket it was .5 “ off center front to back.



by:

we needed to replace the factory hitch because of rust in the tube.
this hitch does not have as many mounting points as the stock hitch

This is a great piece of equipment. I sits a little higher than the orgional, but I already have a drop down hitch. Fits perfectly, only took about 1.5 hours from start to finish.

Installed on an ‘07 Silverado - 2WD, 4.3L, V6. Handles my boat & trailer great! Put it to the ultimate test on an 8hr. move to TN, pullin my brother’s fully loaded, 7.5’ x 16’ dual axle trailer - No problems!

  • Recommended Hitch and Weight Distribution System for a 2005 GMC Sierra
    I would be happy to help you set your 2005 GMC Sierra up to tow your trailer. With that low of a towing capacity I can safely assume you have a 1500. That is what my recommendations are going to be based on. Along with a weight distribution system you're going to need a hitch and a brake controller as well. That heavy of a trailer will require brakes. For your hitch you will want the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver item # e98849. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It is custom...

  • Will Trailer Hitch From 1996 Chevy Silverado fit 2004 Silverado
    You will need a new hitch for your 2004 Chevy Silverado 1500. The frame changed starting in 1999 with the next model, so the hitch from your 1996 Silverado will not fit the 2004. The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98849 fits the 1999-2013 Silverado 1500 and would be a great choice for your truck.

  • Difference Between Class III and Class IV Hitches for 2004 Chevy Silverado
    Class III hitches that fit your 2004 Chevy Silverado like the # e98849 just aren't made for the same towing capacities as the Class IV hitches like # C14332. You'll notice that the Class IV mentioned here has more bolts that attach it to the truck frame as the most obvious difference. Other than that it's more or less the thickness of the metal used etc.

  • Trailer Hitch and Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2004 GMC Sierra
    The etrailer brand Class III hitch you mentioned, part # e98849 is a confirmed fit for your 2004 GMC Sierra 1500 or 2500LD. The hitch has a 6000 lb towing capacity or a 600 lb tongue weight capacity. The tongue weight capacity reprents the maximum amount of downward force from a trailer tongue that the hitch can safely handle. If used with weight distribution, the capacities rise to 10000 lbs towing/1000 lbs tongue weight, but keep in mind, this the the capacity of the hitch, which would...

  • Difference Between Curt & etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500
    Good question, and there is just a single difference between the Curt and etrailer trailer hitches that fit your 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500, which is the finish. The Curt has a glossier finish than the matte black finish of the etrailer hitch, so you can choose which you prefer: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98849 - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13322 The matte black finish is nice as it hides the inevitable dings, scuffs and scratches better than the glossy finish, so that's the...

    The etrailer.com Hitch # e98849 is designed to fit the 2003 Silverado 1500 and 2500 LD models, so it will not fit your HD. However, I do have an alternate option available. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13211 will have the same weight ratings of 6,000 pounds towing (10,000 pounds with weight distribution), and 600 pounds of tongue weight (1,000 pounds with weight distribution).

  • Trailer Hitch For A 2010 GMC Sierra 1500
    The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98849 has a maximum gross trailer weight up to 6,000 pounds. You would need to check your vehicle's manual to see what the proper towing capacity is for your 2010 GMC Sierra 1500. You're only as strong as your weakest component so if your vehicle is rated for 5,000 pounds for example and the trailer hitch is rated for 6,000 pounds you can only tow up to 5,000 pounds. The trailer can hold up to 7,000 pounds but if you're under the recommend towing...

  • Would Trailer Hitch from 1995 Chevy Silverado fit 2001 Chevy Silverado
    There was a pretty big generation change between 1998 and 1999 Chevy Silverados which meant the hitch manufacturers had to redesign a hitch for the trucks. That means you'd need a new hitch for the 2001 Silverado like the # e98849.

    Yes, the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket # HM40975 will fit on your 2002 GMC Sierra 1500. It will connect directly to the factory wiring connector located behind your rear bumper. The included universal mounting bracket will allow you to secure it to the bottom of your bumper. You will be able to use this with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98849.

  • What Trailer Hitch for a 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 Fits Long Bed Models
    The bed size does not matter for a frame mounted trailer hitch on a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, they will all work with both short and long bed models. The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98849 is what I recommend as a pretty basic, no drill trailer hitch. It is rated for 6,000 lbs which isn't the highest for this vehicle but will be plenty for most trailers for this vehicle so there is no need to pay more for a higher rated one.

    I do have some great trailer hitch options for a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado but you won't be able to use on off a C10. Instead, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98849 which is a direct bolt-on fit. It has a 2" opening with 6,000 lb weight capacity great for towing.

Instead you will want the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 31322. This front mounted hitch is confirmed to fit only the 1500 models of the 2011 Sierra. It has a 500 lbs vertical load limit and a gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs. I have linked an installation video below.

We do not carry this hitch here at etrailer, but I was able to find some specs on the Reese website. There is a fairly long list of vehicles that this will fit, but Chevy Silverado is not on that list. It is mostly Chevy express and GMC savanna models that it fits.

As far as the braking system goes, the best and simplest brake controller on the market is the Curt Echo # C51180. This doesn't require all the wiring that comes with a traditional braking system and is all controlled by your phone. Super simply and easy.

It fits both the Forester and the Wilderness model because they share the same frame. This hitch will bolt to your frame with included hardware.

    While we do have a solution for you, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13301 is designed for new generation models starting in 2007. My recommendation is the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III - 2" # e98849 for your 2006 Silverado because the matte black finish tends to be more scratch resistant than the glossy finishes like that of the Curt.

    The bolt closest to the front of the vehicle in the photo you sent, once it's removed the hole does not get used with the Etrailer hitch Item # e98849. The hitch will actually use the two rear most holes on each frame rail and the two holes in the bottom of the bumper.

The bolt facing down will use a spacer block to keep the head of the...
