Specs:
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.
At etrailer.com we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers.

I purchased to use with a bike hitch to carry grandkids bikes.
Julie - 03/15/2021I installed the hitch on a 2005 Acura MDX. Was easy, and with another set of hands a breeze to install. The quality of the hitch is great, and my experience with other Draw-Tite hitches in the past has been terrific. This is the fourth hitch I have ordered from Etrailer, and each time has been a pleasure. Their selection, ease of website, and great customer service keeps me coming back. My next project is a 2012 CX7. I'll be in touch soon! Thanks Again, Frank D
There is a under-vehicle fascia piece that has to be removed for the hitch to be installed. You do not have to cut or modify it though, so if you ever want to remove the hitch, it can be re-installed. Check out the video I linked to, the 2:20 mark or so.

Patrick B - 3/4/2015Installed on '93 Honda Pilot in 1 1/2 hours while installing new Tow Ready 4- Flat Universal Mounting Bracket (118149) and Tow Ready One Connector wiring harness (118336). Easy install, did not have any trouble cleaning out those previously unused bolt holes on the right side, used wire brush and penetrating lube. Installed tow bar supported on top of grand kids red wagon with side rails, no extra hands required. Did not have to lower exhaust, only removed tow hook from left side. Fits snugly with good clearance from frame and muffler. Tow bar can barely be seen except for receiver.
CW - 03/27/2015Very high quality product, arrived in excellent condition. Very easy to install with the video online was helpful, I didn't lower the muffler as the instruction said. From the time to open the box and completed the installation is 33 mins, I did used the jack to support the center of the trailer hitch to make installation much easy for myself. Now it's look fantastic love black gloss and it's made in "USA", Etrailer, you guys "ROCK"....
I purchased the Draw-Tite trailer hitch because of their reputation, they cost a little more but it was demonstrated they are a superior product. Installation was very easy, exactly as shown. I definitely would purchase this product again. Excellent quality.
William - 06/27/2021Excellent Product. Installation was so simple product could be renamed Draw-Tite's Easy-Fit hitch. Etrailer.com installation video was also excellent. The Installation Team (Me [67 years] & Wife {64 years]) reported absolutely no problems during installation. Highly recommend both Etrailer.com website and Draw-Tite trailer hitch. Post-installation photo attached (just before cranking spare back up into place and tools cleanup). Hitch wiring was subsequently installed, also with no problems. Etrailer.com installation video for that was also excellent.
Been great hitch. Was easy to install. Have a single axle trailer works great with.
I've had this hitch receiver for 1 year this month and it has been fantastic. I use it to tow 2 ATV's. I installed it on a 2008 honda pilot. I was able to get it in place without having to completely drop the exhaust or the tire. The driver side had a tow hook in place and was easy to install this on that side. The other side had 12 years of road grime on it and it required a tapping set to clean up the threads so I could get the bolts to go in and get the passenger side tightened down.
Easy order process, great price and great product. I'm much slower than the other guys in terms of time to install. Took me about 4 hrs, with no helper. Time was significantly extended by having to clean up the 3 threaded bolt holes on the passenger side. Had to rent tool from Auto Zone, and still took a lot of PB Blaster, wire brushing to even get the clean up tool to start into the lead in threads. Then was like 1 - 2 turns, back it out, and repeat.... for all three holes. ~2 hrs later, all the bolt holes were clean and easily accepted the new bolts. Other than that, no real issues. Great instructional videos for Receiver and Wire kit. This is my second purchase from ETrailer, and will def be my online go-to site for all my trailer needs.
I have used my new trailer hitch to tow a 5x8 landscaping trailer and have used it about a half a dozen times so far without issue. I am totally pleased with my purchase and would definitely consider purchasing other products from etrailer.com.
Love the hitch! It went on relatively easily and looks great installed. Not a hitch issue, per se, but I realized later I should have dropped the spare to make the install easier, since the spare appears pinched between the hitch and the rear body now that I cranked down all the bolts. Also, install time was lengthened due to rusting of the uncovered threads on the muffler side of the vehicle. I used wd-40, the old bolts, and a lot of patience to make the threads useable from 4+ years of disuse. Someone recommended using a tap-kit to "freshen up" the threads. I would have gotten the proper tap if I hadn't done the install at night. Again, this is a vehicle problem, not a hitch kit problem. Heh. We also learned that hitch covers get stolen, so we'll be ordering locking hitch receiver cover next time.
I purchased the receiver for a friend that wanted to be able to minimize hauling everything inside and be able to transport a luggage carrier and bike rack when needed. She was very surprised at how easy it was to install. From online ordering to installation the process was very user friendly. Quality product and great service.
Followed the instructions on the video(s). Installed hitch and wiring harness. hooked up tow bar and flat towed a car 2000+ miles.
Received right on schedule. Bolted the hitch to my floor jack, through one of the safety chain loops, rolled it into position. Lined up the holes (I had already cleaned the threads) in went the bolts....done. took me less than fifteen minutes from opening the box. 2004 Honda Pilot.
This is the second hitch I have purchased from e trailer. The hitch arrived on time and the installation directions were straight forward and thorough. The hitch was easy to install and is an excellent hitch. Although I did not have anyone available to help me, I was able to install the hitch in about 30 minutes (I am 72). The previous hitch was for my Toyota pickup and was also easy to install and an excellent hitch. I have also purchased two wiring harness and they are easy to install and an excellent product. Thank you for your great products, videos and service
Steve H - 01/30/2015I ordered the Draw-Titer Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver and the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for my 2004 Honda Pilot. They came earlier than I expected and took me 20 minutes to install them by myself.
Perfect fit, easy installation, great price, outstanding quality, excellent service! Ordered for a for a 2007 Honda Pilot on Sunday afternoon and delivered on Wednesday. Installed in about 30 mins, hitch is almost completely hidden other than the receiver. Etrailer is highly recommended and I will definitely buy from them again. Thanks for the easy and professional transaction.
Fit was perfect took about one hour of installation
Bought wire harness and hitch. Installation of both took under and hour. The videos made it simple and was easy to follow. Did it myself. Saved hundereds over shop fees.
Great hitch, very strong well built. Holds my 5x8 enclosed trailer no problem. Easy install as well
This DrawTite trailer hitch was fairly easy to install. Great value & fast shipping from eTrailer.com!

Sierra. all is good. forgive me for not completing your form but on the middle of a move and packing away! you were terriffic ... A+! service was fast and without a hitch! pun intended! Excellent service, Helpful videos and am very happy. Pictures attached.
Product was easy to install took about 15 minutes. They need to work on the shipping box, mine arrived with the hitch hanging out of the box
I am very satisfied with my purchase. The instruction videos made installation quick and easy. The fasteners provided exceeded OEM standards. Best of all, it looks great and makes the vehicle much more useful (don't have to borrow a friend's truck to tow).
