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.
Features:
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. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers. The one-on-one, personal service you'll receive comes straight from an expert in the towing and automotive field. We've installed it, we've wired it and we've towed with it, so whatever your question, we can answer it.

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.This hitch was easy to install, instructions were clear, and everything I needed (bolts and washers) were included. It fit perfectly.
I did go online and I looked up various tow hinges for my Acura MDX 2020 with different companies out there and I came across etrailer products and services and the video detail in which they had the product I was interested for my vehicle really nailed it for me. The demonstration was awesome. I quickly called their toll free number and I spoke to Joshua B with the sales department and he took he's time to assist me in purchasing the product I needed for my vehicle. Joshua was great a great sales representative. He assured me if I needed anything else regarding their products in the future I could reach out to him and he willing to assist me with any concerns or questions at anytime. I did receive the product less than 72 hours which I was surprised/pleased with their quick delivery service. So far I'm really impressed with how the tow hinge looks on the vehicle after installation. I recommend anyone who's looking for any products for their vehicle to use etailer service. My installation professional even mentioned etrailer has great products.
The hitch arrived in perfect condition. I invited my brother over to give me a hand installing the unit. Everything lined up perfectly and the installation was straightforward. The trick was to clean the threads in the chassis throughly before the install.
Since we installed it in the driveway on our backs we simply couldn’t get enough leverage to fully tighten the bolts.I brought it to a local shop that put the MDX on the lift and tightened everything with an impact wrench.
That was it. I only use the hitch for a bicycle rack. And it has been great for that light duty task.
Highly recommended. Solid quality at a very good price point.

Been using the hitch for a year. Still looks great. I use a cap on it when its not in use. Again I use it only for a bike rack but its been perfect.
Great fit and comfort in travel knowing how well it's built to carry cargo. Also, the customer service received and handling minor shipping issue was fantastic through customer service rep George. Thank you for a great product and look forward to my kids buying hitches for their vehicles on the horizon.
Works great and is unobtrusive. Had some difficulty mounting it because the attachment holes on my vehicle were a bit rusty and the bolts wouldn’t go in, so we had to file down the rusty threads first. But that’s not the fault of the hitch receiver. The receiver does stick out from the back of my vehicle just a little bit more than I’d like but it’s not too bad. Overall does what it’s supposed to.
The hitch is wonderful, but my order was missing the wiring harness which I did order and pay for. Can you please send me the wiring harness. Thank you

After 1 year still in great shape without any rattle or movement.
Website was very intuitive and user friendly. Finding the best solution for my car was easy and placing order was easy. The follow up information was quick and helpful. My trailer hitch arrived on time without any problems. Customer service was excellent. Directions for installation were clear and easy to follow along with video if needed.
This is my second hitch purchased from etrailer.com and they do not disappoint! Their video reviews are extremely helpful, straightforward, and without bias to one product over the other. The hitch was delivered quickly and without incident, just as my first experience. Highly recommend!
The hitch and wiring fit great....I was happy the holes lined up perfect.. Thanks

The wiring assembly works great. I never ran the wiring outside of the car. After use, I roll it up and put it in the side panel in the car out of the way. Thanks
Cons:
The hitch arrived in a box that looked like it had been thrown down a flight of stairs. And was missing the hardware kit.
Expensive to ship to Canada
Pros:
It’s a hitch, so other than some minor scratches, it was unscathed.
Shipped to Canada quickly. (3 days)
Hitch fits in great and is built very sturdy. Definitely a great edition to an SUV and very easy to install!
The hitch appears to be high-quality, very well built. The packaging was In rough shape by the time it arrived, but the Contents were undamaged. installation took about 30 minutes doing it by myself. It was very straightforward. I used a jack to hold one end of the hitch up while setting a bolt on each side.
Clean out the welder boats on the frame of your car first and you’ll have no issues
Easy to order and get installed. Looks solid on my 2019 Acura MDX Hybrid.
The trailer hitch fit perfectly. This is the 5th hitch I have installed on family cars and have never had a problem. Thank you
Needed help from a shop to install the hitch because the bolt threads on our vehicle had significant buildup of rust or corrosion. But once installed, the hitch has been great. We have done a lot of towing with it.

Still doing a lot of towing with this hitch and it’s working great.
Simple installation. The box was torn up when delivered but the hitch was in great condition and all of the hardware was safe and secure inside.
Solid hitch, easy install, easy-to-follow instructions and video.
The hitch is a great quality piece but the packaging job was terrible. The hitch broke completely loose inside the box and rails that bolt up to the vehicle had broken out of the box. The hitch is powder coated and the powder coating on the edge of the rails was heavily worn from being exposed outside the box. I am very disappointed in the care taken to package this hitch. I doubt I will purchase from etrailer.com again in the future.
Overall the product is good. Only problem is it’s more of a drop hitch and it sits lower. Getting into or exiting any spot particularly gas stations that has a big dip it bottoms out and hits the asphalt. Wish I would have payed more attention when ordering.

When it comes to hitches sometimes, they will be lower to the ground depending on the vehicle. There is a product from Roadmaster called the Rollaway that can help protect the hitch from scraping. It is part # RM-050.
Perfect fit on a '21 Pilot EX. Fast shipping. Installed on my own in less than an hour. Made my wimpy SUV into a light tow rig.
The hitch was easy to install and was provided with clear instructions.
Hitch arrived in 2 days. Installed it in about an hour by myself. Fit perfectly. Using it for my bike rack & to pull a small motorcycle trailer.

Great
Package was wrapped to ensure all parts were not lost in delivery, easy installation instructions and communication has been great each step of the way. Would definitely order from here again in the future for any necessary parts needed.
This hitch was a perfect fit for our 2019 Acura MDX hybrid. Although the MDX hybrid is not rated for towing, it is already prepped to receive a hitch. We won't be towing anything, but installed this to carry our bikes. Therefore didn't need the harness for lights and brake controllers.
This was a simple install and all parts and instructions were included. Our MDX is essentially new, so the mounting nuts, which are factory install and pre-welded to the frame, needed no cleaning. If dirty, a simply wire brush and a few spritzes of water should clean those out. Overall, it took about 10 minutes to unpack and install. My 16yo son and I picked a side, slid under the car, supported the hitch (about 50 lbs.) on our knees and screwed in the bolts. Once torqued to spec, the hitch was rock solid.
Overall, this seems to be an excellent product, perfect for our limited needs.

After a year, the hitch continues to do exactly what its supposed to, provide a secure means to attach our bike rack to our SUV. The Acura MDX hybrid is not rated for towing, but there are no restrictions limiting the use of a hitch mounted bike rack. In fact, all mounting points are provided. Accordingly, we installed the hitch as described in my prior review without any difficulty. After a year of regular use, it remains rock solid. No hesitation recommending this hitch.
