Shipping SpecialThis fully welded, corrosion-resistant vehicle trailer hitch is perfect for your light-duty towing and hitch rack needs. Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry strength standards. Drawbar, pin and clip sold separately.
Features:
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. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers. The one-on-one, personal service you'll receive comes straight from an expert in the towing and automotive field. We've installed it, we've wired it and we've towed with it, so whatever your question, we can answer it.

Today on this 2005 Lexus ES330, we are going to install part number 36336 from Draw-Tite. This also applies to Hidden Hitch part number 90174. This is how the hitch looks on the vehicle and also we will give you some measurements to help you out in ing some accessories, such as a ball mount, bicycle rack, or cargo carrier. From the top of the receiver opening down to the ground is going to be 12-1/8 inches. And from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outside edge of the bumper is going to be about 5-1/2 inches. 0:29
Next we will go ahead and show you how it gets installed. The first thing you need to do is go ahead and remove this bracket for the exhaust. Let it fall down a little bit out of the way. And we are going to remove this tie-down bracket. When we put the hitch back up, the exhaust bracket will go back up as well. Now, on the driver side frame rail, there is a tie-down bracket as well and that will get removed. Some vehicles have an optional third weld nut right here. And this one has a sticker covering it. So what we need to do is go ahead and remove the sticker so we can use that fastener. 0:58
At this point, we can go ahead and start lifting the hitch in position. Now, you want to have an extra set of hands to help do this. And what we are going to do is just install the bolts with a conical tooth washer and hold it up in position. And we are going to leave everything loose so we can install the remaining fasteners. With all of the hardware installed now we can go ahead and snug everything down and then torque them down as specified in the instructions. With that our hitch is already installed and we are finished. And there you have it for part number 36336 from Draw-Tite.

Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch was received in great order and was delivered quicker than anticipated...GREAT. I was concerned about the difficulty of installation, but it went better than expected. You get personal attention with etrailer, something you can't say about other sellers on the internet. The follow-up with etrailer.com was just great. Thanks12059

This Draw-Tite hitch receiver is very well made with heavy duty steel components. Additionally, it is an exact (and I do mean exact) fit for my Camry. It bolts up to the frame of the car using holes that are already in the frame. All hardware is included and fits perfectly. You do need your own tools though. Installation really is as easy as it looks in the online video and I finished in less than an hour. This is a top quality product that I would highly recommend. The price was right, shipping was fast and service was excellent.10938

Shipment was super quick and I got just what I ordered... The packing could use a bit of work though.. It needed more padding in the box on the ends as by the time I got it the Hitch had poked a hole in the box on one side. It was undamaged but a few pieces of foam or extra cardboard could easily prevent that. Overall I'm really happy with my order just with the suggestion of better packaging of big items..8292

Good product But..... I like this hitch and the etrailer site but.. the only problem is that this model sits a little lower than your exhaust pipe and scapes on steep drive ways.924

Perfect fit. Very easy to install. Just take two bolts out of the exhaust hanger on passenger side, put the hitch into place and use the provided bolts and washers to attach. Very happy with e-trailer and shipping was unbelievably fast. Only four days from order to delivery!! I will definatley buy from e-trailer again and will gladly recommend.29395

Hitch was shipped & delivered earlier than promised. However, the seller's "suggested" install time of 30 minutes was a gross under estimation. It took me 2.5 hrs from start to finish to install the hitch. The primary reason for the delay is that installation of the hitch requires drilling two new holes in the steel beams / frame of the car; a caveat that was not disclosed prior to purchasing the hitch. (Only 4 of the 6 holes required to mount the hitch were pre-drilled by the car manufacturer.) I had difficulty drilling the two new holes in the correct place. The instructions did not offer any advice on this. If I had to do it again, I would first install the hitch using only the 4 pre-drilled bolts, mark the placement of the 2 self-drilled holes with a sharpie, un-install the hitch, drill the 2 holes, and install completely.27288

Saying this takes 30 min to install is only correct if it takes you 25 to open the box. It takes around 5 minutes solo. There are only 5 bolts with washers and done! Works perfectly on my '05 Camry for attaching my old Yakima bike rack. No need for the light kit unless you actually plan to tow something. Ordered on Monday afternoon...at my door on Thursday at 2pm. Installed by 2:05. No kidding. Box arrived via UPS in perfect shape. I even screwed up my order(forgot to order some new straps for my old Yakima rack). I called the 800 number and they happily changed my order. I will certainly be recommending etrailer.com and buying from them again. Can't recommend them enough :)25887

This is my second purchase from etrialer. The fist was smooth and fast and I got the same results on the second purchase. In fact, I think the service and shipping was even faster second time around. My first purchase was for a Prius (to carry bikes) and this purchase was for a Lexus (same purpose). Installation is a little trickier, but still within the easy to moderate range for the average do-it-your-selfer. Absolutley no complaints.23841

The hitch installed exactly as shown on the video. Two sockets, one ratchet and 40 minutes and the job was complete. It is refreshing to do business with a company that provides everything as advertised and at a very fair price. 23321

The product worked very well. I haven't had any problems with it so far. However, I did not realize that I had to have a light attached to the trailer so it should always be recommended to purchase the light. Uhaul did not have a "technician" available to hook one of their own lighting systems to my rear lights....18010

Received the hitch very fast! Installation was pretty simple even for one person to complete with no jacks/ramps/stands just the car on the ground. Only issue I had was I didn't take off the exhaust hanger first and once the drivers side of the hitch was loosely attached it was tricky to try and maneuver the passenger side of the hitch around the exhaust hanger and pipe. Also, on my car the exhaust hanger has a tab that is folded in towards the hitch bracket and it does not wrap over the edge of the hitch bracket like it did on the towing bracket. In other words the exhaust hanger has a tab that is folded over and prevents it from laying flat against the exhaust bracket. However, when I torqued the bolts down this tab folded out and flat so it did not prevent a problem in the end. The picture is with my Yakima HighLite 3 bike rack attached. One interesting thing I found out about this hitch when I bought my bike rack is that the input is actually very shallow. When my rack is installed, it does not go far enough into the hitch fitting so that I can put the safety pin into the side as a secondary link for the hitch and rack. In other words, if the main wedge that secures the rack in the hitch fails, there is nothing to keep the rack from just sliding or pulling out. This is a concern as all of the other models of Yakima racks attach to the hitch solely by a bolt that goes through the hole in the side of the hitch. So any other rack will not work with this hitch at all unless you drill a secondary hole in the side of the hitch inlet to accommodate the locking bolt. Perhaps on the other models of Yakima racks the hole is closer to the end of the rack that is inserted into the hitch so that the shallow hitch is not an issue? I am not sure of that. At least on the HighLite 3 model the holes in the hitch and rack to not line up. I had to drill a new hole about 1/2" back from the original hole so this pin will fit and secure my rack in case the main lock fails. Maybe this is only an issue with my bike rack and not the hitch being to shallow, but I am merely just trying to be informative. All in all, I am COMPLETELY SATISFIED with this hitch and etrailer.com!!!17751

The box was damaged in shipping. The end of the trailer hitch was bent. I had to bend it back, to get the bolt holes to lined up somewhat properly. It took about 75 minites to line up the bolt holes and bolt the trailer hitch to the car. Only complaint is shipping damage. Trailer hitch and cargo carrier work well together. Thankyou. 16845
