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.

The product was exactly as described. It seems to be of very high quality and still looks great. This is probably the 5th hitch I have purchased from this site and all have been excellent

It cost us only $100 to have our regular mechanic mount the receiver on our Chrysler Pacifica van, even though the van isn't rated for towing. The receiver works perfectly with the Thule e-bike hitch rack we also bought from etrailer.

Following the video made it look easy but it only showed instructions on drivers side. When it came to the passenger side, that was time consuming and bruising. Now I know why the video didn’t include that side. But, I did get it put on with vehicle on the ground in 4 -1/2 hours. I’m 80 years old and it was 90 degrees outside. I’m okay. It looks good on vehicle.

The trailer hitch shipped very quick. I was nervous to install it but the instructions were very spot on! They sent an installation guide for our specific vehicle and made it easy to follow. It mounted perfect and is going to work great! Very happy with everything!

A few "mistakes" in the installation manual. About 2.5 hours total install time was needed to install this, which includes making some minor adjustments to the cannister and more trim needed (than what the manual said).

Think this is the fourth hitch we have purchased from you and all four have fit and performed perfectly. Your customer service personnel and prompt actions have been great. Thank you. The latest for our new Pacifica was more difficult due to the panels covering the bottom of the vehicle however your videos helped in that.
by: Elliot S.04/15/2024

The hitch itself is five star. However, two issues came up during install that made things difficult.
First, the hitch kit did not include hardware to relocate the carbon canister box on the driver side of the hitch. The hitch could not be installed without moving this box. A longer bolt was provided, but this did not make the carbon box secure. I was able to partially thread the longer bolt on the front of the box, but there was no room to secure the rear of the box at all. My van is a 2021 model, so maybe this issue is different for other model years.
Second, the 0.5” x 10” slit to be cut in the underbody panel was not the location described in the included directions. It actually needed to be 0.5” x 14” and about 2” different location than described. The point of reference bolt hole in the diagram was likely in a different spot for my 2021 model compared to the vehicle used for creating directions.

After paying returns shipping for the wrong product. This one fit well and the instructions were easy to follow for installation. Highly recommend the video the company links to the order.

My wife wanted this receiver hitch installed on her Chrysler Pacifica for our bike rack, so we can travel with our bikes. We installed it in a few hours without a lift, but backed up on ramps.
The trailer hitch is great. The diagram for cutting the existing dust cover was very inaccurate. Installation is definitely a two-person job, but not difficult
by: casey g08/26/2020
I picked Etrailer hitch because they had a simple install video where I able to see the hitch on the actual vehicle. I trusted the product because it was their own. I easily even reached an actual person when I had a question. I have only used the hitch to haul bikes

Hitch has worked great, glad I got it.

You make great products and furnish exceptional customer support. Twenty stars if I had them!

Product fit perfectly for my 2021 Chrysler Pacifica. Instructions were a bit difficult to understand but the video provided through your website helped greatly! Hitch receiver worked well with our bike rack for our ebikes.
by: Thomas 06/01/2023
Trailer hitch is great quality and has enabled many fun family trips and bike adventures. On top of that the instruction videos and customer service is top notch, etrailer has more than earned my repeat business.

Chrysler Pacifica
Quality part, detailed instructions, so-so easy of installation (due to application on the Pacifica). Captured bolts are a pain, but that was only on one side if I remember correctly. I bought the hitch to hold a bike rack and luggage carrier, not for a trailer.
by: Mike 06/22/2023
Hitch Worked well last summer, basically never used fall or winter. Hitch still looks nice as opposed to the curt unit on last car that began peeling and surface rusting after one winter (New England, dirt road, salt and other melting agents).
by: Old man Ray-Ray07/03/2022
I had reservations about putting a class 3 hitch on,by myself,because of the weight. But with the help with {online}. I was able to do it myself.

Shipping promptly. The installation instructions/video were for gas and weren't exactly for a hybrid but they addressed and made things relatively easy for someone that is handy. Very pleased!!! This is my 3rd hitch I've installed over the years.
by: Jacob07/13/2020
Solid and good paint job. Went in with no problems. Followed instructions that came with the hitch and watched the video. Pic is with a bike rack mounted.

- Will Draw Tite Trailer Hitches for 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Allow Hands Free Liftgate to OpenFor your 2017 Chrysler Pacifica the Draw Tite Hitch part # 36798 is a confirmed fit and would still allow you to use your hands free liftgate. At the very worst you might have to run your foot to either side of the hitch opening but it will still work just fine. This is a 1-1/4 inch hitch which would work just fine for you for a small trailer or bike rack, but since more accessories are made for 2 inch hitches and they have higher capacities I would recommend you go with the part # e98903...
view full answer... - Fit of etrailer Brand e98903 Class III Hitch on 2022 Chrysler Pacifica HybridThe etrailer brand # e98903 class III hitch fits all models of the 2022 Chrysler Pacifica, including the Hybrid model. If you click the provided link, you can take a look at an install video. I've also linked you to the installation instructions.
view full answer... - Install Instructions For etrailer Hitch e98903 For 2020 Chrysler Pacifica HybridI have attached a video of the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98903 installed on the 2020 Chrysler Pacifica. We do have a video of an install on a 2018 which would be the same as your 2020 Chrysler Pacifica. The underbody panel does need a 0.5"x10" slot trimmed into it. The heat shield needs a 5"x13" rectangle cut out from it as well. I have attached cut out dimensions for both pieces from the instructions.

- Will The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98903 Fit 2019 Chrysler Pacifica Touring Plus?Yes the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98903 is a confirmed fit for your 2019 Chrysler Pacifica Touring Plus. I recommend installing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118712 when you install the receiver. The Mounting Bracket # 18144 will allow you to connect the 4-way to the mounting tab on the receiver.
view full answer... - Yakima Platform Bike Rack that Allows Rear Access to 2018 Chrysler PacificaFor your 2018 Chrysler Pacifica that has a 2 inch hitch like the etrailer # e98903 the Yakima HoldUp # Y02443-2 would allow you partial rear hatch access with bikes loaded and the rack tilted but if you wanted complete access with this rack you'd also need the Yakima BackSwing adapter # Y02483 as well. This allows the rack to swing out and away from the rear of your vehicle to give you complete access to the rear hatch.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendations for a 2017 Chrysler PacificaI will be happy to help you out. For your 2017 Chrysler Pacifica I recommend the etrailer trailer hitch # e98903. This hitch will fit all models of the Pacifica, including both the hybrid and non-hybrid models. This is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver. Since you mentioned that you will be doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes...
view full answer... - How to Determine How Much Weight Can Be Carried in a Cargo Basket on a 2018 Chrysler PacificaThis is going to depend on a number of factors. The weight rating for your Pacifica (you would want to check your owners manual for your weight capacities), the weight capacity of your hitch and the weight capacity of your cargo carrier. I can give you an idea of what that will look like, but you will need to check the weight capacities of the products that you have for the definite answer. For example, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98903 has a tongue weight rating of 400 lbs.,...
view full answer... - Will etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver e98903 Interfere W/ Lift Gate Sensor On 2021 Chrysler PacificaThe etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98903 you mentioned will still allow you to use the lift gate feature on your 2021 Chrysler Pacifica, but you will need to place your foot on either side of the receiver for the lift gate sensor to detect your foot. The # e98903 is a great choice for carrying a bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # HLY94FR, a cargo carrier, or towing a trailer. If you can tell me what you plan on using your trailer hitch receiver...
view full answer... - Does etrailer Hitch Block Hands Free Lift Gate Sensor for 2020 Chrysler PacificaInstallation of the etrailer Hitch part # e98903 on your 2020 Chrysler Pacifica still allows for the hands free liftgate sensor to work but may limit the range of the sensor which may result in you having to put your foot near or around the hitch. To get you all set up I recommend a 2-inch ball mount. I have attached a link to determine what size ball you will need, how to decide what drop/rise amount you will need, and the page with all of our 2-inch ball mounts once you have your measurements....
view full answer... - Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 Chrysler Pacifica that Allows Rear Cargo Area AccessThe etrailer hitch part # e98903 is the great hitch for your 2017 Chrysler Pacifica for carrying a bike rack like you are wanting. For rear cargo area access the best option for a bike rack is the Thule Apex Swing bike rack part # TH9027XT as it swing out and away from the rear of the vehicle to give you total access. It also can do so with bikes loaded on the rack as well. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested...
view full answer... - Hitch for Carrying Bike Rack With 2021 Chrysler Pacifica HybridThe etrailer brand # e98903 Class III hitch you referenced is a fit for the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica, it would be a great choice that would work for a bike rack just as well as the other hitches you mentioned.. The hitch would arrive with all necessary installation hardware and instructions.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch and 7-Way Wiring for 2021 Chrysler Pacifica LimitedIt sounds like your ultimate goal is to have a trailer hitch receiver and a 7-way on your 2021 Chrysler Pacifica. I will start by addressing the # HM40975-11933. This adapter is not confirmed to fit your vehicle so it is not something you would want to use even though the bracket would fit the hitch mounting point. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76046 is a great choice for your Pacifica. You mentioned it was a round hitch, but that won't make a difference aside from the...

- Can I Increase The Tow Rating Of My 2018 Chrysler Pacifica With Aftermarket ItemsYour tow rating is your tow rating. You cannot increase it. When you are towing a trailer you are limited to the lowest maximum weight capacity of the system. In this case it does not matter if you add a trailer hitch with a maximum weight limit greater than 1,500 lbs. Since the tow rating of your 2018 Chrysler Pacifica is 1,500 lbs, this is the weight limit you must adhere to. I recommend looking for a light trailer unless you really need the trailer. In that case, you will need a different...
view full answer... - What Is The Total Weight Of The Etrailer Hitch For A 2018 Chrysler PacificaThe etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2 inch # e98903 weighs 42 pounds. The hitch has a gross towing weight up to 4,000 pounds and has a tongue weight up to 400 pounds. I would check your vehicle's manual to find out what the proper towing capacity is for your vehicle. The hitch is a bolt-on installation, that has a matte black powder coat finish. I attached an installation video below.

I've attached a video of the installation to assist. It does require a slight underbody panel trimming that you can see in the video. If you will be using this hitch for towing, I recommend also using wiring harness # 118712 for a custom fit and ball mount kit # 989900 to give you the towing options for most trailers compatible...
view full answer... - Does 2018 Chrysler Pacifica with Tow Group Package Have Capacity for 3,500 lb TrailerAs long as you stay under the weight capacity of your 2018 Chrysler Pacifica you are totally safe to tow the trailer weight you mentioned. So a 3,500 lb trailer would be safe to tow with your Pacifica that has a 3,600 lb towing capacity. If you were looking for a trailer hitch the etrailer trailer hitch # e98903 that you referenced is a confirmed fit and a really great option. It has more than enough weight capacity and since it's mostly hidden it is mostly out of sight and also has better...
view full answer... - How Much Weight Can a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica TowThe etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98903 is rated for 400 lbs tongue weight and 4,000 lbs towing, but that looks to be more than what your 2018 Chrysler Pacifica is rated for. When I looked up the online manual for your vehicle it looks like your van is rated for the following depending on whether you have the trailer tow package or not: With Trailer Tow Package - Tongue Weight - 360 lbs - Towing Weight - 3,600 lbs Without Trailer Tow Package - Tongue Weight - 149 lbs - Towing...
view full answer... - Towing Capacity for 2018 Chrysler Pacifica and Recommended Trailer Hitch and WiringI took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2018 Chrysler Pacifica and it states that for this vehicle without the factory tow package it can pull a trailer that weighs up to 1,500 pounds. For models with the factory tow package this capacity jumps up to 3,600 pounds. I highly recommend verifying this information in your copy of the manual as well. If you do not yet have a trailer hitch installed, I recommend the etrailer Class III Max Frame # e98903. This Class...
view full answer... - What Do You Recommend for a Swinging 4-Bike Rack for a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica?For a 4-bike bike rack that swings to the side to allow you to open the rear hatch of your 2017 Chrysler Pacifica while bikes are mounted is the SportRack Ridge Swing 4 Bike Rack - 2" Hitches - Swinging # SR2415. The Ridge Swing 4 swings at a full 90 degrees to the passenger side of your vehicle to allow you to access the rear hatch with bikes loaded on. To make sure that you have extra security of your bikes while mounted on the rack, I recommend the etrailer Cable Lock - 10' Long - 5/16"...
view full answer... - Compatibility of SportRack A32022 Hitch/Cable Lock with Hitch on 2017 Chrysler PacificaI took the liberty of looking up your order, and see that you'd ordered the etrailer brand # e98903 hitch for your 2017 Pacifica. The SportRack # A32022 hitch and cable lock you'd looked at is compatible with older SportRack bike racks, and wouldn't fit the SportRack # SR2415 Ridge swinging bike rack. Although there isn't a keyed-alike hitch and cable lock available, you can go with the # SR0901 and the # e98891 etrailer brand cable lock. The cable and hitch lock wouldn't be keyed alike,...
view full answer... - What is Towing Capacity for 2017 Chrysler PacificaFor your 2017 Chrysler Pacifica we have the etrailer Class 3 Trailer Hitch part # e98903 which has a pretty high towing capacity of 400 lbs of tongue weight and 5, 00 lbs total trailer weight which goes to 500/5000 when used with weight distribution. One thing you have to consider is that a towing capacity for a vehicle is basically the lowest rated component in the setup. So, this hitch has a high capacity, but your vehicle may be rated much lower and that would be how much you could...
view full answer... - 2-Bike Hitch Rack for 2021 Chrysler PacificaCongrats on nice new vehicle. I can understand you want to not damage it. If I wanted something easy, dependable, and sturdy I would not use a roof rack or a trunk rack. They are a lot of work to get installed and loaded, and then unloaded and uninstalled. I would definitely go with a hitch with a 2" receiver. While the initial investment is higher, there are some big benefits to this method and additional opportunities besides carrying bikes. I will touch on each of these as we go....
view full answer... - Bike Rack Solution for 2018 Chrysler Pacifica that Allows Rear Hatch to Open with Bikes LoadedTrunk mounted bike racks have to be totally removed before opening the rear hatch of a vehicle. The additional weight would make the struts that normally hold the door open unpredictable (most likely would fall) and a lot of the time the hooks would damage the body of the vehicle if the hatch was attempted to open since it would press against the vehicle. If you wanted a bike rack solution that allows access to the rear hatch of your vehicle you'd need to go with a hitch mounted option....

If you check out the picture that I attached you can see the places that we have found work best with a trailer hitch installed if you use a forward and back kicking motion as opposed to swiping left to right.
