I had several questions about weight distribution hitches. The people at etrailer quickly responded to these questions and provided very useful information to help me select a product. Also, their follow up after my purchase to make sure I was happy and understood the install process was excellent. Price was great too. I would definitely recommend etrailer to others.

The only down side to your help, was I found an adapter at a local store that worked great. There seemed to be more than one answer. But I appreciate the fast response and explanation which ultimately helped me get the adapter made. Thanks again.

It is helpful to know that when the Tekonsha P3 is in the "electric over hydraulic mode" the programming within the P3 is changed so that initial higher voltage and amperage is delivered to the hydraulic disc brake actuator to compensate for the slight delay in the hydraulic brake system. Thank you for contacting Tekonsha and getting this information for me.

All your staff provided excellent advice and information regarding my search for a brake controller connector in my Pacifica. I asked several Chrysler dealerships (parts, service and sales) in my area (MN and WI) and they could not confirm that one was built in, or not built in, to a 2017 Pacifica. Your forum answered it and your staff finished the process by recommending a controller, explaining how it is installed and how to adjust it after installation. Kudos to your company for being so efficient and responsive.
Thank you!

I needed some help understanding the difference between two potential wiring kits for our Prius Prime. Jameson answered the question promptly and informatively. These guys are very responsive when you need help.

I received a quick and very detailed answer about my inquiry, and I am very happy with the response. I have not ordered parts from here as I just bought the trailer this summer (my first!), but I will definitely use the site if I have any more questions.

Avoid this company
August 7, 2017

We are traveling and in need of new weight distribution bars. We are unable to continue our travels until the bars arrive. We first emailed the company with a question, which was not answered in a timely manner. Then despite paying extra for 3 day shipping and being told on day 3 that our order was 'on it's way', our items did not ship out in a timely manner and are set to arrive 10 days after the order was placed (at this point they still have not arrived). When I called the company to find out what happened to my order, I learned that they had falsified their call logs and records. When I expressed significant concerns about the delay in shipping, I was told that I should try to find the part locally (don't you think I tried finding it locally before ordering it on line?!). I was also told that I should try contacting UPS to see about meeting the truck some where so that I could get the package off of the truck (really?).

All in all, this 10 day delay on a order that should have arrived in 3 days has cost us over $400 in lost wages and additional travel fees. I could almost live with this, but the falsified records, the lies and their suggestions for fixing the problem (my tracking down a UPS truck or buying locally) have pushed me over the edge.

Do not do business with this company.

I submitted a question about a Yakima roof rack setup for my new 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee and received instant feedback from Jameson with recommendations and links to pictures and videos. Installation was easy due to the info on your site

Jameson C answered my question very quickly and took a look at what they had that would fit my needs. They didn't have the exact product that I was looking for but gave an option that he thought may fit my needs. Great Web Site, good prices and knowledgeable staff. I will defiantly look here again for my RV needs.

The customer service is excellent. When I sent a query, I received an email in a short period of time promising an answer on Monday (I sent the query on Saturday). And on Monday morning I received a thorough answer from Kyle. I think their customer service it top notch.

I asked a super specific question about a hitch. And I am the most un "car" person you can get... and they were really great at answering the question. Lisa even convinced me that I could look under my car (on my yoga mat) and see what I needed to first hand - and i did :) . They seemed to be willing to go "off script" to really give me a good sense of any risks i might have - I appreciated that.

I went with the recommendation of the technician. I am guessing I will be glad about that. But haven't received yet much less installed so can't comment further.

Waited a week on an order that all of the products were said to be in stock. They never shipped the items, called to see what was going on, got the run around about products being out of stock and the website being wrong. (This from a company that sells exclusively online) Why did it take a week to find out products were out of stock? They offered no compensation for inconvenience. Canceled a $400 + order and ordered through another online retailer for $20 more. Great product videos, horrible follow through. Unless you pay the extra fee for shipping your order will not process and ship in a timely manner. It's worth it to shop elsewhere.

Jason S. Gave me great suggestions regarding a method to use to measure and cut out my universal bed liner. It's nice to know there are people like Jason who are knowledgeable in their field. It's great to know you can rely on them to guide you through the install you are attempting to complete. Joe J. (Extremely Satisfied Customer)
