Draw-Tite Tested Tough

Draw-Tite Tested Tough

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.

After spending a fortune on renting cargo vans and paying delivery charges for DIY projects, I decided to get a hitch for an old beater that planned to get rid of for the past few years. The car had a relatively dependable big block in it which made it a perfect vehical for this purpose. My new hitch is awesome. It was everything etrailer.com said it would be and customer service & personal attention to my order won my continued patronage of this company. The hitch arrived in just a couple of days and installation is a snap for anyone with basic handyman skills and a few simple tools. I was initially unaware that bolt holes would have to be drilled, but using a jack to brace the hitch to guide my hole locations, everything went quickly and I was ready to pull 3500lbs. Because of the economical price I had some concerns about what the quality of the product would be. But, those concerns were put to rest upon reciept when, as a trained welder I immediately observed the thick gage steel and quality workmanship. I am thoroughly pleased with my purchase and proud to submit this product review. Don't send years wasting money on vans and delivery cost like I did. Buy this product!25647
