High quality wheels and tires
May 17, 2023

Recently ordered trailer light wiring harness for our Ford Edge. Now ordered replacement wheels and tires for the trailer. I think I had a discount code but I can't find it.

Return of SportRack Roof Rack
May 17, 2023

My order of SR1003 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs arrived but proved to be too short to attach securely to my 2015 Chev Colorado crew cab p/u. I called your customer service # and spoke with Eric P. About the problem. Eric quickly sent me a product return label and helped me order a set of RinoRack bars that should be designed specifically for my Colorado pickup. Overall this has been a good shopping experience so far

The tech sent me almost the exact information I needed for the parts that I needed. The explanation was good but the tech could have stated that he had included info for both leg kits but I figured it out after reviewing the email he had sent me.

We purchased a spare tire mount for $745 4 days ago and haven't received it yet. We now see the price is $697, but they will not issue a credit for $50. They said we could return this heavy item for $50 and then they would send us a new one at the new price. We asked if they would pay the freight for the return and were told NO. Zero stars for customer service or customer retention efforts. You just lost a long time customer...Amazon...here we come.

Although this review specifically relates with a recent purchase I made to adapt a roof rack from one of my vehicles to another, it is applicable and may as well be for the many purchases I have made over the years. Simply put, one would be challenged to suggest improvement with the experience shopping with etrailer. Starting with the ease of use with the website, range and availability of products, support for any questions or issues, and the excellent database of customer and sample photos and video which are invaluable to installation. They run a business the way it should be done, plan on being a long term customer for years to come.

Great Pricing. Packaging could use some help
April 7, 2023

Overall, etrailer is great to work with. Pricing is very reasonable. Shipping is quick. My main complaint is the parts are not packaged very well. Most everything is thrown in one box, and some parts get cosmetic damage by other parts in the box.

I easily found the 3 items fifth wheel rails and custom fit mounting kit, the timbkin bump stops to handle the camper better, and the in the box electrical plugin that tees into factory wiring no cutting or splicing. Everything came the day they said it would.

I had ordered some parts for my Rhino Rack and the box that the parts came in did not include everything that it was supposed to. It's extremely frustrating to receive a product that is useless without that part that is excluded. There are other online sites that sell the same products as Etrailer, and I recommend using them instead of dealing with missing parts. How my order left their fulfillment center with missing parts shows their lack of professionalism and extremely poor service. You should get what you paid for, not an opportunity to dial their number and speak to impatient customer service with poor solutions to a problem that Etrailer created. I wont buy from them in the future, and anyone should be hesitant at doing so as well.

I recently purchased a Stainless Steel truck tool box latch from eTrailer. It broke within days. (The photos below show the lock bolt jammed sideways under its cheap sheetmetal retainer.) Their response was that they could not give a refund due to the fact that I had already installed it. What kind of policy is that? Their alternative was to offer me a 25% reimbursement to keep their junk part. That would have amounted to about $15. I wrote a polite and diplomatic response, asking for 10% off of my next purchase in exchange for keeping the defective part and I would try to repair it myself. They declined my offer, saying they could not discount future orders (really?) Finally, I asked them to take 50% off of their defective part and they withdrew all offers. I will shop elsewhere in the future.

Perfect fit
March 23, 2023

19 durango perfect fit. Looks factory. Took 3 hours to install with a wiring harness which was also plug and play. Rather than run the wire under the car i chose to route it through the interior to my battery under the passenger seat. Made things much faster. Could have done it in 2 but the bumper facia was being a pain and I was trying to be gentle. The videos made me feel confident about making it happen. I did mine laying in the driveway. I did not drop the exhaust down. I had wobble sockets and extentions to avoid doing that.

Not accurate response
March 22, 2023

To be fair I did not provide my complete set up. I merely asked for a confirmed to fit brake light system that the wiring system was completely separate from tow vehicles lighting system running/brake lights and signals. Similar to the RM-152-LED that fits my 2019 Grand Cherokee. I have watched many of the very helpful videos for your products and pieced together the list of parts. As far as I can tell the only things that splice into the vehicles factory wiring is the brake relay and the tail light diodes. The rest connects to the battery post and vehicle ground. Kevin mentioned I did not need the brake light relay but I answered the questions on the items listing and determined I do need it because my brake light and turn signal uses the same light. If I do not use it the brake light relay, the brakes will override the turn signal. The stop light switch is merely a braking indicator light. My question was about avoiding tapping into the vehicle's wiring with concerns about factory or my extended warranty being voided with regards to the wiring be tampered with. By the way some of the items listing actually warns customers of this. In Kevin's response he assured me that this was not a issue and that splicing into the system was so easy a caveman could do it. With the videos you guys provide I believe him, but if it turns out I void my warranty and there are other issues later on, I may be better off replacing taillights from water leaking into as opposed to my vehicle wiring system. So if there was a way to have the demco braking work the brakes without sending the brake light signal and rely on the separate wiring drilled into the tail light I believe I could avoid any possible issues with my warranty. I would have responded directly to him for clarification but that was not a option and was referred to calling support line. I would also suggest not posting the original because it's not entirely correct as far as I can tell and may not help others.
