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.

I bought this item convins being I will get the best deal. As of item it is good but WRONG finished . The left part (the one opposed to exhaust) much bent inside. See the attached pictures. That made installation almost impossible. The cutting for mud plastic protection is wrong, very wrong represented. Good for me because I am fabricator and auto mechanic with all skills and tools. I attached a picture for someone who still wants to take chance buying one. But be prepared with a helper next to you if you do not to take to a specialized shop. One think is for sure , time for installation from factory is a joke, unless they do take care of the original problem the left end bended. Do not believe it can bent with hammer. If it was finish as it should be, it was perfect. After all my work it looks and works well. For that reason I gave only 3 stars. Otherwise joyfully I would gave 5 stars.

Ordering process was excellent and hitch was shipped same day and I received it the next day in Illinois. This hitch was a perfect fit and only took approximately 1 1/2 hour to install on my grandsons Highlander. I have purchased numerous times from E Trailer and they always exceed my expectations. I highly recommend this hitch and E Trailer.

no instructions, no hardware, bent and chipped brackets.
Waste of time and had to buy my own nuts and bolts and spend time online looking for the video just to be told thst i need to follow a diagram (not included) to cut the underbody panels...I should have went to U Haul and gotten the hideaway hitch for $30 more

Fit was perfect, and the install was very simple. I have not towed with it yet, but I have every confidence it will perform just fine. Shipping was rough and it did have a chip on the bottom corner, but it's a hitch, and nothing a little spray paint didn't fix.

Easy to navigate the web page and find the right hitch receiver for my vehicle. Transaction was smooth and the hitch arrived on time. Second one I've bought from etrailer and things have gone smoothly both times.

Excellent product! I have had my etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver for 1 year now and it is an excellent product that has not deteriorated in quality one bit since installation. All of the bolts came with the kit, and it arrived in good condition. The finish is excellent and is a perfect fit for my vehicle.
This product was extremely hard to install. The metal was about 2 inches bowed inward when we received it, and we had to bend it out with a wooden block to install properly which was very hard and time consuming. Once the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver was installed, everything was in perfect working condition and there have been zero issues since.

Delivery, service and price are excellent. I only gave it a 4 star because when installing the trailer hitch the holes were off by about 1" and took some time to make everything fit.

"I'm impressed with the hitch! But also had to bend mine. I didn't read the other reviews or see the etrailer info beforehand about the possibility of it being bent,so I was surprised and not happy at first. I stuck with it though, and spent an additional 1.5 hours or so to unbend it and get it on. I used my own method: installing it halfway, then cutting a 2x4 a little too long and jamming it in between the two "arms" of the hitch until the other side opened up enough to go on. I'm sure it wasn't the best method but other methods prescribed weren't options for me. Otherwise looks well made and solid. No other issues."

took me about 2.5 hours start to finish. luckily a neighbor walked by at the moment I needed a little help lifting it and holding it in position to get the first bolts started. The templates for trimming the plastic panels wasn't quite right. The trim panel on the passenger side didn't actually need any cutting and I put it back in place fully intact. Drivers side trim panel did need a narrow cut to accommodate the hitch, but I recommend holding it up and eyeballing it rather than following the provided template that would have you cut a hole in the wrong place and removing more panel coverage than needed. Looks clean and feels strong. be careful not to cross thread the bolts, one of the welded frame nuts that was covered by a rubber gromet was pretty rusty and had to be threaded. As others experienced, I also had to use a clamp/vice to get the holes to all line up, but it wasn't too hard. I like the matte black finish.

It’s still working great. I have hauled many things and when I installed this I was moving into a new house. It paid for itself the first week. Sturdy construction and it looks great.
by: Matteo09/10/2019
Box arrived via UPS and was ripped open at the corner. I was worried that the hardware was missing but eTrailer was smart enough to tape the hardware into the receiver so it was all accounted for. The hitch is sturdy and seems well made. You definitely need two strong people for the install and either use a lift or ramps so you have more room to work. The only issue we encountered was that the middle hole on the driver’s side was a hair off which would have made the bolt go in sideways. With a lot of muscle we were able to get the hitch aligned to insert the bolt. Having to seriously struggle with the middle hole on the driver’s side for about 20 minutes made my rating 4 stars instead of 5. In total it took us about 2 hours to complete and we have some mechanical experience. All in all, the price was good, quality seems good, I would recommend this hitch.

A year later and the hitch is still holding up nicely! Great for hauling mulch and wood pellets in our utility trailer.

Purchased this for hauling mtb bikes on the back of our old highlander. Etrailer was recommended by a popular local hitch shop as they had no stock in inventory for our vehicle. Package arrived quickly, the box was a bit beat up, but the hitch was in good condition with no obvious blemishes/issues. Started installation on passenger side and found driver side bolt holes to be off by as much as 1.5". Followed instructions on [etrailer], using a 2x4 and car jack to spread out mounting brackets and after futzing for a bit, fit no problem. Some pointers.. much easier to install with 2 people; measure gaps before starting to force spread mounting brackets so you don't have to check by 'fit test'; only had to cut a small amount out of driver side plastic underbody panel to get back on, passenger side didn't need any; overall plan on 2-3 hours start to finish. Took a star off because of dealing with re-aligning mounting brackets, otherwise looks good and is solid.

by: Dogbear10/28/2023
This hitch arrived timely, looks really good and appears to be well built. Upon installation however I found that getting it into place required forcing it up to the frame rails with a floor jack. 5 of the 7 bolt ones lined up well, one I was able to persuade, with great force, and one… forget it, it probably would have required re drilling. I expect to have to finesse add ons to a certain extent, but if you think this will “bolt right up” you’ll be disappointed. I’m sure the welds warped it up of shape a little but i would expect to manufacture to straighten it back out before it goes in the box. Otherwise etrailer was great as usual. I didn’t ask for a replacement but I’m sure they would have made it right.

2012 Toyota Highlander
Ease of ordering and delivery was pleasant. The product itself has some issues. Holes did not line up like a lot of others say. The receiver itself was square.. For clarity, the right side holes were centered but the left side was off 1/2 inch. So instead of bending it to fit, I enlarged the holes just enough to line it up. It fit great after that with no alignment issues.
Someone has to take responsibility for the way these fit. Either ship the product in sufficient packaging to prevent damage or ensure the holes are drilled correctly. I do not recommend this product until improvements are made. The FAQ answer section about the bent products is lazy. Prevent the problem instead of passing the fix onto the customers.

2013 Toyota Highlander
The hitch seems well made and sturdy. I plan to use it for small trailers, a hitch cargo rack and a bike rack. Installation was fairly easy and straight forward. I put the rear end up on ramps for accessibility. A second person would have made it easier, but I was able to make due with jack stands. The front drivers side bolt hole did not line up, but I was able to solve the issue with a 4"x4" wedged against the spare tire. The diagram for cutting the drivers side under panel was a little off and I has to cut the hole larger than shown. The passenger side panel required no cutting at all. Good value for the price.

I have zero experience with this kind of stuff but my brother and I were able to install this and the electrical in about an hour. Saved a bunch of money by doing it ourselves. It’s been on for about a year now and I’ve pulled a boat on a couple multi hour trips with no issues. Forget what the dealership offered you, I would highly recommend going this route.

I installed this hitch with little to no problems, my only issue was the explanation/ description sheet was so dark I couldn't see what they were tring to show as part of the process, other then that a great product.

So when it comes to shipping, it is very common for hitches to bend. You can use a vise to bend it back into place. Please see the link below for more details.
