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.

After a couple of misfires with Amazon I gave up and ordered from etrailer and got EXACTLY what I needed. The receiver and hardware fit perfectly. I actually saved a lot of time by skipping the fish wire step and put the hardware in place on the receiver before I slid it into place on the car. No issues whatsoever. I will definitely deal with etrailer again for any future needs.
Thanks!

Right now it's a 1 star.... Google packaging job... Shipped in oversized box with no packing inside... Box came torn apart, powder coating gouged to exposed steel... Between ups and e trailer, just sub par in my opinion. Let's see how good their customer service responds???

You will need to get some rustoleum type of paint to cover that exposed steel. Our customer service will be more than happy to assist you in getting this corrected.

2019 Chevrolet Traverse

I installed the hitch on a 2019 Traverse, it is a good quality but I gave it 3 stars because I couldn’t get the hitch to sit flush against the body of the vehicle after tightening the frame bolts. Loose it fit great but the farthest frame hole was about 1/4in too small and it was jamming the bolt when I tried to put the hitch in place.

I can see from the pictures where it was not flush and what I think has happened here is that the side brackets were flexed out of alignment. It is not uncommon for this to happen when the hitches are shipped to us or to you. I do have a FAQ that can help with the installation.



by:
2022 Chevrolet Traverse

The box arrived opened and damaged. My wiring harness was missing. When I called to tell them my wiring harness was missing they told me that it was shipping separately but could not tell me when it would arrive. I later got an email telling me all of my items were delivered and asked me to leave a review. I still don't have my wiring harness and will not have the hitch installed by this weekend like needed because I don't know if I am ever getting my wiring harness.not to mention the box had no padding around the hitch so it's all scratched up.

It seems that they sent these parts in two different shipments. I am sorry for any confusion, but the other harness is still on its way. Once you receive the rest of your order, we would love to hear your updated feedback.



by:

The hitch fit as it was supposed to. The installation video was very helpful.



by:
2020 Chevrolet Traverse

I have a 2020 Traverse. The fit is 100 times better than the Draw tight. Still not a perfect fit but it works. Issues that I had to over come.
-I had to buy longer bolts for the passenger side exhaust hangers(M10x1.50 x 50).
-The install video made a suggestion to place the bolts in the hitch before you slide the legs into the body. That was a great tip. It was so much easier than fishing the wires through the hitch and body of the vehicle. The rear bolts didn't come all the way through which didn't allow for the washers to be used. To over come this I tightened the bolts down with just the nut, which pulled the bolt down. I loosened the bolt and had enough to room to add the washer and the bolt.
part of the hitch that attached where the bummer once did, didn't sit right against the body, just tighten everything down is all you can do. The legs seemed to prevent a flush finish.

Great product and great price! No issues since installing on my 2022 Buick Enclave!

Video walkthrough was clear and concise. Made the job so easy. This product fit perfectly.

2023 Chevrolet Traverse

Bought maybe 7 or so hitches and all have been perfect.



by:

The fit was perfect. Diy instructions were good.I would recommend watching the etrailer installation video. Very good instructions and tips to help with installation.



by:

Delivery was fast, appears to be what I ordered however… the packaging was not good. This hitch was delivered to my garage while I was in the garage and the delivery guy was carrying the hitch over his shoulder and the box in his other hand. I’ve ordered large heavy items before and there shipping boxes were always designed for their weight and dimensions, this was not. Hopefully the hitch hasn’t been flexed and will install without any issues but it’s not looking good considering how it was delivered.

That was certainly a rough delivery! I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you in case there is any issues.



by:

Instructions were good. The blocks supplied for the rear most frame bolts were too small. They just kept spinning.
Instructions need to point out the importance of relocating the wire harness removed from the left rear.
The video was very good and informative. It was good to have all 4 fish wires too!



by:

Easy installation



by:

Excellent delivery time and communication! Well made hitch with proper welds and engineering.
The Attached video for my vehicle and hitch type was spot on! It saved me a ton of time and money.
Thanks for your work etrailer!!



by:
2019 Buick Enclave

The hitch is nice; install was easy. The only issue is that the hitch cover on the Enclave no longer seats cleanly. It is obstructed by the hitch. I went over and over the install and any adjustments, but it still is obstructed.



by:

This is the second hitch and wiring harness I've order from you and it was just as easy to install as the first one. I especially like your "how to" videos. My only slow down was "fishing" the four bolts through the frame, turning this installation into a 2 beverage job --- but then, who's counting.



by:

already installed, went together easily



by:

Receiver fit well and easy install, your you tube video on installation was perfect and easy to follow all tools required were exactly what were used in the video

It looks great. Item is what I ordered. Shipping was very good.

Perfect hitch at a great price. Item arrived quickly and I had it mounted to my new car. Thank you

Perfect fit and install video was huge help. Thanks..

I like that e-trailer had a video just for my car. Showed u step by step how to install and I save $ from taking it to a shop



by:

Perfect. Lower price and great performance. Installing was easy. The kit and videos make it a breeze.



by:

This is the 3rd hitch I have purchased from etrailer and seems to get better every time, I tried [online retailer] (BC of pricing) guaranteed to fit it did not!
Called etrailer and got the right hitch the next day! The customer service at etrailer is over the top!!
The CS service TEAM gets 5 stars plus 5 stars from me!! This is NOT a paid advertisement BUT VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER!

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2021 Chevy Traverse for Hitch Step
    For your 2021 Chevy Traverse the hitch I would recommend for use with a hitch step is the etrailer part # e56YR as it's the best priced, fits behind the trim panel of the vehicle so it can be hidden when not in use, and doesn't have trailer wiring brackets that you wouldn't need.

  • How Long Would Install of etrailer Hitch for 2023 Buick Enclave Take
    For most people the install of the etrailer hitch part # e56YR would probably take a couple hours to install. For a dealer though I would assume maybe about the same but they might charge you for two shop hours. The charge would be based on what their current shop hour rate is. I attached a link to the install instructions as well as a video of the install for you to check out as well.

  • Hidden Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2023 Buick Enclave
    For your 2023 Buick Enclave the etrailer hitch part # e56YR is your best hidden hitch option. Once installed it sits behind the rear bumper fascia panel which means that when not in use it would be totally hidden. It also has a matte finish instead of gloss which helps it blend in a little bit and has the best price too. For trailer wiring as well you'd want the Tekonsha kit part # 118761 and you'd be set. This is the easiest to install and is also a very reliable setup.

  • Will Exhaust From 2021 Chevy Traverse Damage Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier
    According to my research it looks like the receiver on your 2021 Chevy Traverse will sit a little above the exhaust (see attached photo of etrailer # e56YR on 2020 Traverse), and since the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y62VR has a 2" rise, it will be out of harms way with the exhaust.
