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.Great product at a great price, shipped to my door in 5 days. Came with all required hardware and fish wires! Great instructional video. All combined makes me feel company cares about its customers.
I am average joe with NO LIFT. Backed vehicle up on 6x6's, DID NOT drop exhaust system, followed rest of directions. If you are doing it alon as I was, leaving the exhaust up did not make it harder but in fact helped! Product actually rested on top of exhaust dress up tips making it possible to attach one side and then move to the other. Exhaust was my extra person. Highly recommend.
Jeff - 06/07/2022Good quality metal. Needed tow hitch for SUV I just purchased. Went on pretty easy. Video helped alot. My 2013 Ford Edge SEL has three exhaust hangers instead of just the two at back. Would have give five stars, but the hitch itself was bent slightly on one side. Had to do a little drilling out one of the holes to get it aligned. Other than that, it's a well make product.
Brooke M - 05/28/2021 Steven - 05/14/2022Installed this hitch receiver on my 2013 Ford Edge, took approximately 1 1/2 hours or so (plus an additional 1 1/2 hours for the wiring harness installation), the installation video provided by etrailer.com made the install really easy. The product itself is excellent quality and bolted directly to my vehicle without any major modifications needed. The shipping was fast and etrailer.com’s customer service is outstanding! I’m extremely happy with purchase and will definitely be recommending etrailer.com to my friends and family.
It was damage in shipment left mount got bent
Jenny N - 07/27/2022Just completed my installation which took about 1 hour and 20 minutes. The hardest part was feeding the fish wires and pulling the spacers and bolts back through. Once I realized to put the spacer into the frame hole then to feed the bolt through, things sped back up on the installation. It was also nice to use existing holes in the frame which meant that I could not mess up the holes as well. I'm really proud of the installation and can't wait until I put the bike rack into it and take off with our 2 bikes attached securely. Thanks for the great product, easy installation guide and video.
James - 09/22/2020Simple installation. Great video tutori al!
Fantastic hitch. Perfect fit for an 09 Edge. Installation was not difficult, but be prepared to have your patience tested a little. There will be tight and challenging places to drill and get the bolts into. Particularly is this true within the vehicle's unibody frame. While there are bolt stringers included, it's one of those types of jobs you can't get any body appendage into, yet need four arms and three hands to do. But it is made to fit, and fit it does. Would purchase again.
Perfect kit. Could not ask for more. Comes with everything you need hardware wise.
The hitch fits perfect. The wires for fishing the bolts through the frame were a GREAT asset, should be included in all hitches!
Fit was great. The video link from Etrailer was an excellent resource. The biggest pain in the butt was fishing the carriage bolts through the frame, especially the back two you have to drill for. Helps to have an extra pair of hands to pull back on the plastic bumper while you’re under the car pulling the wire through. There’s just not enough room for a grown man’s hands to fit once the hitch is in place to fish the last two carriage bolts in to place. It’s definitely a two person job between that and lifting the hitch in to place and bolting it up.
everything was fine just missing 2 fishing wires. Please let me know how i can get them sent to me.
Sierra K - 05/24/2022This Class III receiver hitch was as advertised and easy to install, even on my garage floor without a hoist, just a floor jack and of course, jack stands for safety. I chose the e98870 because it hangs below the rear valence so I could attach my 7-way connector with a Curt 57202 no-drill clamp-on bracket. The video instruction is invaluable!
Ordered on Sunday evening, received on Friday by noon. Etrailer rocks!
Installed it on a edge sport Super easy install under a hour. When I trade this car I’ll be back on e-trailer buying another one.
I ordered an etrailer trailer hitch last year to accommodate a hitch mount cargo carrier to carry all our "STUFF" for our family vacation. The hitch is made of quality materials and was super easy to install. I give it 5 stars!
The delivery was very quick and right in line with the estimated delivery date. After watching the installation video on your website installation was very easy. I was able to install it by myself in about an hour.
This is my 2nd etrailer hitch in 4 years. Your products and people just get better.
This one was like the last, another great fit and easy to install on my 2013 Lincoln MKX thanks to another excellent install training video.
Your customer service team were helpful and in the “tops” of any that I have recently encountered.
Easy to find what I wanted. Shipped in a timely manner. Now I am waiting for my son to bring his vehicle so I can install the hitch. This will be my third installation.
I am really pleased to get another opportunity to follow up my initial review, a year later. I wish I could give this hitch (and my entire experience on etrailer.com 6 stars! The customer service folks were great with taking the uncertainty out of the purchase, so I know for certain I actually got just what I needed. The follow up was spectacular, and of course, the hitch. It has been perfect for what we needed! Safe, secure, and was really battle tested! In the course of 72 hours we went from 4 inch snows in the upper plains, to wet snow in the Ozark Mountains, to the Smokey Mountains, to Florida sun and (literally) sand, and then back through the same a few days later! Fast forward a year later, the hitch is still perfect. Seriously, couldn’t be happier with the whole experience, and I’m not usually a very charitable poster.
Great product - perfect fit - overkill, can handle more than the car !!!
Etrailer was great to work with ! I was immediately in the loop + super fast shipping. Highly recommended !!!!
Fast shipping and straight forward installation. I watched the video on line and it was really helpful. I backed the AR up on ramps for more room and it took me about 90 minutes to complete.
Excellent value. Installation was easy thanks to all of the thorough etrailer videos. Works like a charm with my bike rack.
This item actual doesn't fit my 2013 Lincoln MKX . Lot of work to adjust the holes on passenger side . On driver side is terrible, Had to drill all three holes on car frame. Had to grind the bolts to go through the hole on frame. Also the receiver too short, when I put the tongue in , the ball nearly hit my bumper ( just less than one inch space) . Really frustrated.
Jenny N - 11/16/2021Just had it installed 4-15. Took mechanic w/lift 2 hrs. Said it was one of the toughest he has had. I have not hooked up lights yet so I have not pulled my utility trailer yet.
The order process was very easy and the video review helped me decide on the etrailer model. Delivery was extremely fast and very well packaged. Installation went just as the included instructions directed and took approximately 2.5 hours. Would highly recommend etrailer to anyone.
The etrailer receiver arrived bent. Not sure if it was damage in transit but it was bent. I had to bend both sides back to get them close enough to bolt up. Some people might not have the tools or ability to bend the receiver back into specifications. I got everything installed and everything seems it will work.
