I haved owned this hitch for a year. Aside from a little surface rust, the hitch performs well. I especially like the tow chain eye loops. They are easily assessible with large rings to accomodate your tow chain hooks easily. The installation was not very difficult. They really studied the specs of my vehicle and fitment was perfect. Also the tolerances are pretty good so you dont hear much hitch to reciver noise.1690378

So far I'm pleased with me purchase. The hitch is beefy and solid,the pigtail is a direct replacement1765914

Excellent fit and finish. The listing is a bit misleading, it says all hardware included but it is not, it makes you reuse factory bolts which weren't on my truck (bought used and looks to be removed by previous owner) so I recommend to check to see if the factory bolts are installed on your truck. Customer service was excellent, they were going to take the item back on return so I could order the draw tite hitch which comes with the bolts but I opted to buy the bolts ($36) at the dealership. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from e-trailer again!1446389

Still going strong one year later.

Hitch would not line up on frame. Contacted customer support. Was told I had to bend the hitch out to match frame. Spent a half hour with a 13 ton jack to get it to line up. Was not told this info in directions. Very pour quality control1615126

What I suspect happened is that the side brackets were knocked out of alignment. The fastest way to correct it is to bend it back into shape. We have a FAQ that can help with it. As long as it is not more than one inch off this this is what we recommend.

Works great black finish looks new all the bolts holding up good.

I just installed my trailer hitch a couple days ago on my 2017 Chevrolet Silverado pickup and it was very easy. I watched the 5 min. video prior to installation and it was exactly as the video showed. With the help of my brother-in-law we had it installed from start to finish in about 20 min. The quality of construction looked good and should suit my needs completely and the price was great. My local Chevrolet dealership wanted $300 just for the hitch and $50 to install it and it only cost me $150 to buy it on your site and No installation cost. I would recommend this site to anyone.820438

This hitch was as advertised. The hardest part was moving the spare tire out of the way. It took about 35 minutes to install and wipe the dirt out of my eyes.
Well worth the price.1679734

Fast shipping, good quality, easy install, the best was it was easy to find what we needed and order it.1747393

I submitted a five star rating and I'm extremely happy with the fastest delivery in the easy installation. The only problem I had was trying to download the Finish photo where's my rating and for some reason it wouldn't download it after three tries. Thank you for everything and I highly recommend etrailer to anyone. Again I gave it a 5-star rating thank you for everything.928159

I had a neighbor help me install it today. Other than a couple of hard to remove bolts, it went as expected. Easy to install. Wish etrailer would've thrown in a Hitch Cover/Plug. Would be a great incentive for 1st time buyers. Great product though.1566200

40 minute installation all by myself! This is the second hitch I've bought from etrailer.com and both products were outstanding! Thank You! 5 stars all day long!616719

The 1st hitch somehow got lost in transit through UPS. It took over 2 weeks to have the issue looked into after not being delivered and etrailer requesting a search by UPS. Once a 2nd hitch was approved to reship, I followed the tracking up to the truck being on our street. When I went out to meet the driver I was concerned by the appearance of the being damaged, but because of the strong design of the weldment and the way the hardware was heavily taped to the hitch by the collector at etrailer, everything was fine and was able to get it installed on my truck with no problems.1496523

Excellent product, smooth install. Also great customer service with etrailer!1595916

I love my new trailer hitch receiver. It arrived only a couple of days after ordering. It was as easy to install as they said it was. Perfect fit.1520017

Before the product, some words on the service. I had multiple interactions with a customer service queen named Nicki (sp?) and she was awesome. Super knowledgeable about the products and about navigating the website (which was easy), and actually listened to my questions rather than telling me what she thought I should hear. Give her a raise and have her train people.

Now the product: I ordered late in the day Tuesday and my shipment arrived Thursday about noon. I watched the installation video already, so I went to it. Took me about 30 minutes to install the hitch and another 3 min. to install the 7-way/4-way plug my truck needed, all by my lonesome. I have all the tools needed and have been accused of being handy, but the install was exactly as easy as the video showed. Two people and a lift would be great, but putting a 2x6 on a floor jack and putting the hitch on the 2x6 worked great to lift it into position. Jacked right up, putting the factory studs in the holes. Wiring plug is idiotproof, so nothing else to say on that.

Only head scratcher is the recommended torque specs on the instruction sheet. I followed the [manufacturer's specifications] but I could easily get another 1/4 to 1/2 turn plus on all fasteners after I hit the mark. Maybe a response to me and something in FAQs might help clarify on this.

Overall, a terrific buying experience. No complaints yet, but I only used it to pull a few small trees out this afternoon. I presume it will pull my boat and trailer just fine, and the bolts will not get loose. But my torque concern will mean I'll have to keep an eye on it. Good work, etrailer.com688816

I did speak with our in house engineer, and another hitch manufacturer for verification and the torque specs are based on federal standards. The hitch hardware should only be torque to the specifications, and not beyond because it can be over torqued and can break or damage the hardware if it is over torqued.
