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.

Video Transcript for Trailer Hitch Installation - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Draw-Tite

Today on this 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee were gonna install part number 36362 from Draw Tite. Alright, this is what the hitch looks like when its installed. Next well give you some measurements thatll help out in selecting some accessories. From the center of the hitch pinhole to the outside edge of bumper is going to be 4 inches and from the top of the receiver opening down to the ground will be 17 inches. Now well go ahead and show you how the hitch is installed. First thing that you need to do is go ahead and lower spare tire and get that out of the way.

Then when need to remove 2 plastic pins that hold the bumper fixture into the bumper structure. Well take the hitch, do a test fit and what were looking for is a gap between the bumper structure and the hitch. It does come with washers to take up the gap. These are thin washers were just gonna take some electric tapes and just use them to hold them in place while I push the hitch up. So well go ahead and put our hitch back into place.

Then well take our hex bolt with conical tooth washer and the teeth point towards the hitch and well just run it into the threaded nuts that are welded on the back side of this hitch. With all of our hardware installed, we can go ahead and snug them down. We can go ahead and torque everything as specified in the instructions. Alright, with the hitch installed well go ahead and reinstall our plastic rivets and there you have for part number 36362 from Draw Tite on our 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. .

The Drawtite hitch was "snap" to install and took me approx. 20 minutes w/no special tools, just laying on my back on my garage floor. Fron the rear the hitch looks as if it were installed at the factory. I'm very please w/the product and the service I received from etrailer. 59297

Really was easy Installed on 09 Grand Cherokee. It took me an hour from start to finish taking my time. I used nothing but a flat screwdriver to remove the bumper fascia pins and a good quality 1/2" socket set. It says to torque to a specified setting, but I'm only using it for a bike rack so I just leaned into it pretty firmly. I also don't need the wiring so add time for that. No alterations needed to bumper, etc.1694

  • Should I Choose a Class II or Class III for my 2008 Jeep Commander Sport 3.7L V6
  • We always recommend choosing a 2 inch hitch, Class III or higher, if one is available. As you pointed out, your Commander will have a lower towing capacity than other models and the hitch will be capable of more than the vehicle. If your vehicle can handle more than 3,500 pounds total trailer weight, you will have already limited yourself with the 1-1/4 inch Class II. Additionally, there are far more accessories available for 2 inch hitches than 1-1/4 inch hitches. This includes hitch covers, bi

  • Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # 118425 Recommendation for a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • For trailer wiring you would want a Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, part # 118425, as this Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 36362, does not include a wiring harness for your 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Loredo V6.

  • What Trailer Hitches Fit a 2007 Jeep Commander Rocky Mountain Edition
  • Since you have a 2007 Jeep Commander Rocky Mountain Edition, the CURT Trailer Hitch, # 13414, will not fit. So the directions are correct, it excludes the Rocky Mountain Edition. But we do have 2 hitches that do not exclude the Rocky Mountain Edition. You can use Hidden Hitch, # 87752, or Draw-Tite, # 75338. For a ball mount, ball, and pin and clip, I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit, # 989900. It includes 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag. For trailer
