Specs:
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.
At etrailer we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch.

This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Matte black, powder coated steel is durable and corrosion resistant and creates a rugged look.I am very pleased with my purchase.The etrailer hitch is a perfect fit for my 2015 Toyota Highlander. This company went above and beyond to assist me with finding a location to install it.
Arrived quickly and undamaged. A really solid purchase. Installed (professionally) easily on my vehicle and has a nice look. Blends into the vehicle and looks like it could have been an original install at the time of manufacture. Matte finish is a really good look. Used for 4-bike bike rack and has been a great performer. Secure and easily holds the load. Very happy with this purchase and glad we went with this brand and style. Would definitely purchase again and will certainly look at this hitch should we need to install on a different vehicle in the future.

A year later I am still very satisfied with this purchase. Continues to be a solid product and have had absolutely no issues with this purchase or install. Definitely a good purchase and would highly recommend to others who are in need of a hitch that will allow you to transport multiple bikes long distances. Still looks new after a year installed on my vehicle.
Dear Etrailer.com
Taking a moment to write a review of my experience with your company. It is shocking to actually have a totally positive experience dealing with a company! Your customer service is exemplary , starting with George J that took my initial call, to Jaime B that took my order , to Quinn that gave me some crucial insights into how to overcome an obstacle installing my hitch receiver. Customer service is a lost art , if other companies and particularly monopoly mega corporations would adopt even a portion of your business ethos and acumen , everyone’s life would be a lot less frustrating! Can’t thank you enough!
Couldn't be happier with my purchase. I had it installed at U-haul and have been towing a Kuat 3 bike rack assembly. Was initially wary that the receiver would throw off the weight balance on my car, especially when driving through snowy conditions and on snow (I live in the Pacific North West and drive through a mountain pass to get to my local ski resort every weekend), but that hasn't been an issue so far.
I just got receiver hitch installed on wife's 2019 Highlander. Went pretty good. I opted not to drop spare tire to install it. The installation video on the website was great help also. I did it on floor with assistance from a jack and my wife. On a scale of 1 to 10 on difficultly i would say maybe a 3. I have not used it yet but seems to be make very sturdy. I do like the way it kind of hides and dont stick out.

Been very pleased with the Trailer Hitch Receiver. I only use it when we go to the beach for a cargo carrier, Thats why i wanted one that fit tight up against the car. Blends in and looks factory.
The trailer hitch was easy to install on my 2017 Highlander with accurate instructions. It required a slight modification to the plastic undercarriage cover which was easily completed. I’ve used it a few times and it has worked well.
Very simple to install. I did in my driveway without dropping spare. Had a little help holding up side while installing bolts on other rail. Only tough bolt to put in was one right above muffler. Very happy with the way it fits and looks. Highly recommend

A year in use and no complaints or worries. Functioning very well. Very good product
Hitch fit perfect. Took about 20 minutes to bolt hitch to frame. About 45 minutes to remove and trim plastic cover. If you’re working alone recommend using floor jack to hold in place while installing bolts

Works great. Have hauled bike carrier almost 4000 miles since installation. This hitch was over $1000 less than Toyota wanted to install an OEM
The website gave me the perfect fit for our Highlander. Shipping was fast and arrived on time. Installation was a breeze with the hitch and wiring harness. Great overall experience. FYI…I installed this entire system by myself in under an hour.

Works perfect. I was able to install by myself!
Well u wood get 5 but again the box was smashed looked like it was dropped & dragged this is 2nd hitch that came this way I'll have 2 touch up paint,it installed nice & videos on how 2 were good.
Product is very well made. It fit exactly as describe.
I really liked the the extremely helpful installation video.
It saved me for having to look up YouTube videos.
We are primarily using it for a bike holder but plan to get a small trailer as well since we lost our truck to old age.
Instructions were easy to follow.(watched online video) I backed my 2016 Highlander XLE up on ramps for easy access to install. I used a BOSCH oscillating multi-tool to cut the plastic undercarriage guards - worked great and fit perfectly around the new hitch once it was reinstalled.
BOSCH 18V impact driver with a 9” or 12” 3/8 wobble extension made quick work of the bolts around the exhaust. Very easy 45 min start to finish job if you have a few tools.
Looks fantastic. Plenty of strength. Great price.

Its been over a year since I installed this hitch receiver onto our 2015 Toyota Highlander. We drove across the country, from Florida to California and were very pleased with the towing capacity of our hitch. The only thing I would change is the square bar that you attach the chain to. A round bar would work better for us. Otherwise, its perfect.
New hitch looks great and was easy to install. Instructions were easy to follow. I backed my Highlander up on ramps for easy access to install. I used a DeWalt oscillating multi-tool to cut the plastic undercarriage guards - worked great and fit perfectly around the new hitch once it was reinstalled.
I have used this trailer hitch for a year now. Great product and company. I took it to a friend to install. Afterward he chuckled saying that it took him about 10 minutes and that I could have easily done it.
The hitch is doing its job I have had no problems.i feel it was well worth the amount and I will order again thank you
Trailer hitch was a perfect fit for my vehicle and the instructions on installation were concise and easy to follow. Very happy with the product.
Fit as it said it would. Video was on the spot. For someone like me and no garage, laid on my back in driveway and successfully put it on.
Price I couldn’t find any better. Shipping to my house was awesome.
If I had to buy another for other vehicles Etrailer is my first stop!!

Great Use it for aluminum wheel chair carrier
Perfect fit. Easy to install. Only challenge was finding the bolts and instructions. Lol. Didn’t know that they were hiding inside taped hitch.
This was a great purchase. Easy to install, the video was super helpful and the instruction manual made it very applicable for my friend and I. I excited to have this hitch and use it for years to come.
Rep was friendly and helpful in making sure I got the right hitch. Quick delivery. Hitch mounted quickly/easily. Kit contained all bolts, etc necessary for installation. Good price, too.
Highest rated capacity for weight. Good instructions, easy installation and looks good. Receiver may be a little low for towing and the OEM looks like it would mount higher but at twice the cost and would need new rear fascia so I opted for this model and a kick up hitch ball assembly to correct the elevation difference.

The hitch still works great and adds to the versatility of my vehicle immensely. 10 out of 10. Highly recommend.
This is the second trailer hitch I have purchased from eTrailer and this one is just as good as the last. Installation was relatively easy, the video and written instructions were very clear and easy to follow. I will only be using it to cary a bike rack but the next owner of this vehicle may appreciate the already installed hitch.
This hitch is bombproof. After one year it is still super solid. It is low profile and looks great. I’ve pulled several things with it but mostly use it for my bike rack and cargo tray. It was a lot of work to install but the instructions were detailed and accurate for my vehicle. I would definitely buy it again.

Still works great. Still solid. Would definitely buy again.
The trailer hitch arrived a day earlier than expected.The box was damaged but the hitch did not have a scratch.The instructions were very clear and to the point. The rear tow hitch on the right rear was replaced on the left rear side due to the welded tab on the trailer hitch.The cutting of the undercarriage plastic was simple. Highly recommended the product.
