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.

I received the hitch very quickly. I installed it on my 2012 Honda CRV. The instructions were excellent and easy to follow. The whole job took about two hours. I went a step further than the instructions. I made the cut out in the plastic cover panel as instructed. I saved the piece I cut out and after installing the hitch and reinstalling the cover, I taped the cut out piece over the hole using black duct tape. It will keep any water out. I am very happy with this hitch and would recommend it as Honda wanted about $500.00 plus installation. A very good hitch perfect fit.61846

Much sturdier than the hitch on my 2004 Accord. Excellent for my bike rack. Instructions for cutting hole in plastic panel could have been more precise.47594

I bought this for a 2012 Honda CRV to carry a bike rack. It was very easy to install, required no welding and only took about 45 minutes to install. It looks good mounted and seems very durable. I would highly recommend this hitch to anyone!!39459

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2013 Honda CR-V
  • First, you do not have to use a stabilization strap for trailer hitch # 36520 when using a bike rack but you could if you wanted to for extra support. There are many bike rack options for 1-1/4 inch trailer hitches that hold 4 bikes. The issue is that on a Class I trailer hitch, the maximum amount of bikes you can carry would be 2. A Class II trailer hitch on the other hand can handle 4 bikes. But for a 2013 Honda CR-V there are Class III trailer hitches available like # 75742. However, y
