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.

Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch.

I admit I was VERY apprehensive about attempting to install my own trailer hitch until I watched the video. I thought, "I can do this!", and I did. It only took a little over an hour and I am extremely pleased with the results. Good quality product and fast shipping. I will recommend eTrailer any chance I get.
by: Jim05/30/2022
It is an amazing hitch functions extremely well. Here is the drawback. The nut is to tall. When Installed installed the cover for the hole the the nut goes in the cover just pops off every time.

It works fine, as you can see the top piece is just too tall for the bumper and a cap will not stay on it so it is a pain and costly to have to buy a new cap every 30 days.

The hitch arrived and fit as it was supposed to. A lot of people complain about the need of a 1/2" hex bit for the install. That is in fact true. I was able to borrow one from work, but not many people are going to have that laying around. Everything worked as it should. The fish wires worked really good. Coating was good on the hitch. I have not used it yet, but I expect it to work fine. The required torque for the 3/4" bolt is not something the typical torque wrench will be able to do. I dont have a 3/4 torque wrench and again had to borrow the tool. I have torque wrenches up to 1/2" and that one was still coming up about 70lb-ft too short. Product seems good so far.

Seems to be working well. No issues. No complaints. I would recommend this product. Overall it is a good product and would be great for most anybody. I don’t have to use the hitch more than once a month or so, but it has worked well when needed. Install is not bad at all, but the tools needed have to be rounded up. If you have friends or mechanics in the family that saves the need of having to buy the hex bit. I have added one to my toolbox after the fact.
by: John11/08/2023
Very easy install but you might need to buy a large drive socket for the top bolt. Tip, dont completely detach the fish wire from bolt before you get the nut started to avoid the bolt falling into the tube. Also dont completely tighten the 2 underneath bolts before tightening the top bolt otherwise you may not be able to replace the plastic cover cap.

I received notification when the Hitch shipped and a follow up notification when it was received. I am pleased with the build quality and finish of the Hitch. I found the unit fairly easy to install and recommend lowering the spare tire for clearance of the Torque Wrench. Hex Bit Socket required. Watch the installation video. The FishWire worked great. Saved $$$ by not getting the factory Hitch and Installation. Installed in about 45 minutes. Looks Great!

Its been a year and I am very pleased with the build quality and finish has held up well....

I’m really happy with my new hitch. I refused to pay ridiculous prices with even more ridiculous installation fees. So, I’ve been keeping my eyes open for the last year or so. I found this site by accident. I had never heard of it so I did some research to make sure it was legit. I’m really glad I did.
This hitch is affordable and it took my no more than 20 minutes to install myself. I was happy about that too because it’s cold outside. It’s sturdy and will fit my needs which are towing small things like mowers, motorcycles, and pallets of pellets.
I did not lower my spare. If you want to use air/cordless tools you will most likely have to do that.
For the girls out there, you can install this on your own with a torque wrench, 19mm wrench, and 1/2 external hex bit (with 1/2 drive), in case you’re on the fence about it.
I bought the matte black version because I hate shiny things. I would recommend it if it fits your needs.
by: Greg 12/30/2023
Super easy to install took about 30 min you guys definitely did your homework instructions matched my truck perfectly, have used several times good solid receiver
by: Charlie L.04/08/2021
EZ install. First, discard included instructions.
There is a better way. I came up with techniques to easily fish wire. Dont mount hitch yet, as per instructions. Find a semi-rigid "pull" wire about 2 feet. Tape one end to the "threaded" end supplied wire in kit. Fish the plain end of "pull" wire into outlet hole and out other end. Now thread bolt onto kit wire. Fish kit wire back thru and pull bolt out of outlet hole, and into hitch holes until bolts are protruding from hitch mounting holes. (Rest hitch on top of tall bucket) Tip #2. Dont completely removed threaded wire from bolt; pull/unwrap wire from bolt exposing 2-3 threads. (This prevents bolt from falling into hole). Start bolt onto these 2 threads,than completely remove kit wire. Tip#3. Leave both bolts loose, now place hitch in place (may need a helper here) insert main bumper bolt, tighten all bolts.

I think you meant to say discard the included instructions when it comes to the fish wire? The instructions do have specs that you will need as well as other info for the installation so you want to make sure you hang on to the instructions.

The trailer hitch was great & easy to install. Whoever designed it was a genious. The people in your company are real professionals and a pleasure to work with. I'm very happy with my order even though there was a delayed delivery.

I have used this heavily over the last year of having it and I can't say enough good things about it. Installation while a little difficult at times was easy. From different sized loads and trailers this item had held up without even 1 issue to this date. Would recommend to everyone.

I have loved this so much I have convinced over a dozen of my friends to either consider purchasing or actually purchase this for their trucks.
by: Jeff 09/01/2023
Very easy installation should work fine. One side fishing wire did not want to pull bolt through as easy as the other, good to have a long flexible magnet handy. Could not reinstall plastic cap to cover hex bolt as it sat to high.

by: Jose11/23/2019
Very easy to install, make sure you see the installation video. I recommend removing spare tire. Video says remove if you want but not necessary. It is necessary to get socket and wrench in. Other than that its a 20 minute project. Very happy with the quality of the hitch. Looks great too.

- Trailer Hitch and Brake Controller for 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Towing 4,000 lb TrailerThe etrailer hitch part # e98852 is a confirmed fit for your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic that does not have a factory hitch and has more than enough towing capacity so it would work great to tow a 4,000 lb travel trailer. Since you already have a weight distribution system and wiring the only other thing you'd want is a brake controller to activate the brakes of your trailer to help stop the trailer. For that the Brake EVN # TK63VR would be a really great option and would only require the install...

These are the two most cost effective options we have for you. They are designed specifically for a 2005 Ford F-150.

This hitch is rated for 6,000 pounds gross trailer weight (10,000 when used with weight distribution) so it has more than enough capacity for your trailer. If your truck did not come with a factory trailer connector you can use # C59496 to add a 4-Way flat to the rear of the truck. And to add a 7-Way connector...

It is rare that the bumper cap can't go back on easily, but the space between the cap and your bumper is definitely evident in the photo you sent. What has worked for some people is to try re-installing and changing the order in which you torque down the bolts to get the hitch to seat a little bit differently and allow the cap to sit down.

Then for the wiring, I recommend the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket w/ Mounting Bracket part # HM40975-11933 which should be just what you need. It has both 4 and 7-way connection points.

- Differences Between etrailer e98852 and Draw-Tite 75662 Class III Hitches for 2019 Ram 1500 ClassicThe etrailer brand # e98852 and the Draw-Tite # 75662 are almost identical. The capacities are the same, they'd both install in the same manner and they're very similarly priced. There are a few differences. The biggest difference is that the etrailer # e98852 hitch itself is manufactured in the USA, while the the Draw-Tite model is manufactured in Mexico. Other more minor differences- the etrailer hitch uses a matte powder coat finish, while the Draw-Tite coating is a bit more glossy....

Not only should it fit, it should fit fairly easily. This is rare but it has happened to a few people. What I recommend, and what worked for them, is loosening the bolts and adjusting the order you torque them down. This may allow the hitch to seat differently which will let you get the cap back on. The other thing you can try is working that top bolt in and out to see if you can get it to seat further...
