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 - 2007 Subaru Forester

This hitch is also know as part number 36311 from Hidden Hitch and 06975 from Reese. This will cover the same applications. First thing we have to do is lower the passenger bracket take that off completely, and lower the carbon cannister out of the way. Also this bracket has to come down loose, it will get re-installed later. Next this bracket for here for the fascia support will have to come off, the hitch does provide support for the fascia when were done. Next we have to remove this tie down bracket, disconnect the exhaust from this bracket, and this bracket will be taken off the vehicle. Now we can install the hitch, its a good idea to have an extra set of hands at this point. As you can see, it takes a couple of hands to get the hitch up there. With a little bit of fidgeting, you can get it up there relatively easy. Theres just one thing you have to make sure of is that this bracket the hitch goes through and that its the hitch then the bracket, and then the frame itself, thats the order it goes in.

Now that we have our hitch loosely installed with a couple of bolts to make sure it doesnt fall, now we can put the rest of the bolts into the frame. Before you tighten up this side, you might want to do a test fit with the cannister to make sure everything goes back to where its supposed to and double check to see if the hoses in the back became disconnected. Occasionally they do, you just have to push them back in. Now we can tighten our bolts down to their final torque since we have the hitch lined up and the we know the carbon cannister will go back in place. Back to the carbon cannister, well put it back up in its final position and tighten it up. Now we can bolt this rubber exhaust hanger to the hitch, since the hitch replaces the hangar that came with the vehicle. Well do that then the other side. Its kind of hard to see but theres a cut out in the hitch here, where the muffler goes through and has plenty of room to wiggle back and forth as it needs to. One last final detail is to re-install the fascia on the tab in the hitch using the rivet that came with it. That covers it for our install on our 07 Subaru Forester, we used part # 90757 and these same steps apply to 06975 and 36311.
