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.

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!



by:
2023 Chrysler Pacifica

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).



by:
Chrysler Pacifica

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:
2021 Chrysler Pacifica

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.

2017 Chrysler Pacifica

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.



by:
2019 Chrysler Pacifica

Installation went well and video directions certainly helped.

Chrysler Pacifica

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:

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



by:

Hitch has worked great, glad I got it.



by:

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



by:

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:

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.



by:
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:

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:

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.



by:
2022 Chrysler Pacifica

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:

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 Open
    For 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...

  • Fit of etrailer Brand e98903 Class III Hitch on 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid
    The 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.

    I 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.

  • Yakima Platform Bike Rack that Allows Rear Access to 2018 Chrysler Pacifica
    For 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.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendations for a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica
    I 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...

  • How to Determine How Much Weight Can Be Carried in a Cargo Basket on a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica
    This 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.,...

    The 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.

  • Does etrailer Hitch Block Hands Free Lift Gate Sensor for 2020 Chrysler Pacifica
    Installation 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....

  • Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 Chrysler Pacifica that Allows Rear Cargo Area Access
    The 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...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and 7-Way Wiring for 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Limited
    It 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 Items
    Your 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...

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.

    As 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.

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...

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.

  • 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"...

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.

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...

  • 2-Bike Hitch Rack for 2021 Chrysler Pacifica
    Congrats 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....

  • Bike Rack Solution for 2018 Chrysler Pacifica that Allows Rear Hatch to Open with Bikes Loaded
    Trunk 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....
