etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Installation - 2015 Chevrolet Equinox- Video
Today on our 2015 Chevrolet Equinox, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the etrailer Class III Custom Fit Trailer Hitch Receiver, part number E98865.It's going to fit perfectly in the cutout area, and the crosstube is going to be hidden behind the bumper. One thing I really like about our etrailer hitch is the finish. It's going to have a flat black, carbide-style finish to it, opposed to the high gloss finish that we usually see on hitches. Now, this carbide finish is going to help protect it against rust and corrosion, but it's also going to hide scratches a lot better and easier.And since it's a Class III hitch, it's going to give us a 2" x 2" receiver tube opening, and we're going to have a really wide variety of accessories that we can mount up. The way we're going to mount any of our accessories is to the hitch pinhole here on the side. It is going to accept a standard 5/8 pin and clip. more

Best 2015 Chevrolet Equinox Trailer Hitch Options- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2015 Chevrolet Equinox, we'll be having a look at our best trailer hitch options. On the top, we have the Draw-Tite Class III, in the middle we have our Curt Class III, and on the bottom we have our etrailer.com Class III.First, we'll give you a brief summary. As far as weight capacity goes, we found that the Draw-Tite hitch here was the winner because it does have higher weight capacities than the other two hitches. As far as appearance goes, all three of the hitches are going to look fairly similar, but with a different finish that the etrailer.com hitch has with it being more of a matte carbide finish, it is going to be a little bit more durable and scratch resistant, so we're going to give it the winner here.Now, for my personal opinion, if I was going to be buying a hitch for a Equinox, I would ask myself what would I be using it for first. If I had the intention of using it with a cargo carrier that was rated up to 500 pounds, then I would go for the Draw-Tite hitch because it does have the higher capacity and can support a cargo carrier with 500 pounds of weight on it whereas our other two can't.Now, if I was going to be using the hitch just for a bike rack, or if I was going to be using it to tow a trailer and the weight capacity of the tongue rating didn't matter, then I would go for the etrailer.com hitch because it does look the best on the vehicle and its finish is much nicer, more rust resistant and scratch resistant and will look better on the vehicle for a much longer time.The first biggest difference that we found between our three hitches here today is in regards to weight capacity. Our Draw-Tite hitch here at the top, it has a 675 pound max tongue weight rating and a 4500 pound max gross trailer weight rating, and those numbers don't change if you're using it with or without weight distribution on your trailer. more
