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 - 2007 Lexus RX350

Today on this 2007 Lexus RX350 we are going to be installing Hidden Hitch part number 70778. This installation will also apply for Draw-Tite hitch part number 75153. We are underneath the vehicle and we are taking a look at the driver side frame rail. We want to locate the mounting holes that we are going to be using to attach our hitch to the vehicle. The hitch is going to have three attaching points per side. We are going to be using the two weld nuts at the rear of the frame which currently is holding a tow hook in position. If you look a little bit further forward up on the frame rail you can see we have got two rubber plugs in the frame. We need to remove both of those so the hitch can sit flat against the frame rail. We are going to be using this forward weld nut as our third attaching point. 00:40

The first thing we need to do is remove the two bolts and lower the tow hook out of the way. The tow hook will not be reinstalled once the hitch is back up in position. That will be the same on the passenger side as well. With the tow hooks removed we can put the hitch up in position. Into each of the weld nuts we are going to be using the new 10 millimeter bolts along with the conical tooth washers. Now that we have got the hitch up into position and the fasteners into place we just want to go back through and torque them down. You want to verify with the directions the specific torque rating for each of the bolts. With our hitch installed we are going to give you a couple of dimensions that will help make choosing your hitch accessories easier. From the top of the receiver tube opening to the ground is going to measure 14-7/ 8 inches and from the center of the pin hole to clear the rear edge of the bumper is going to be approximately 1-1/ 2 inches. This will conclude the installation of Hidden Hitch part number 70778 on a 2007 Lexus RX350.

From the top of the receiver tube opening to the ground is going to measure 14-1/2 inches. From the center of the pin hole to clear the rear edge of the bumper is approximately 3 inches. That will conclude the installation of Curt hitch part number 13530 on a 2007 Lexus RX350.

Can't wait to tow stuff! I'm deducting one star only because it's pretty hard to persuade a hitch to bend. In the installation video, which was great by the way, the installer had to bend the hitch a little using a 2x4. I tried the 2x4, but the hitch had to move pretty far to get the back hole to line up. So my brother-in-law put his 2 ton jack on end and we cranked it open pushing against the spare tire and the hitch. Whew! Nevertheless, the installation was still very quick and I saved a lot of money by buying the hitch from Etrailer, installing it myself, and not going to my Toyota dealer.2169

Easy installation, factory fit Hitch fit perfectly. Obviously custom-made for the Highlander. Only things I didn't like were some welding splatter and the paint was a bit thin in some places so it may need to be painted one day, but I would recommend it anyway. Great service and fast shipping407

  • Difference Between Hitches for 2006 Toyota Highlander
  • There is really very little difference between the 3 hitches. The Valley hitch, part # V81310, does not use any bends in the design so the safety chain loops had to be positioned beneath the receiver. The Valley hitch does offer a weight rating of 4,000 pounds when using a weight distribution. The Draw-Tite, part # 75153, and Hidden Hitch, part # 70778, hitches do not offer a rating for weight distribution. They have the same installation procedures and should all take less than an hour to in

  • Trailer Hitch Dimensions and Recommendations for a 2005 Toyota Highlander
  • On the 2005 Toyota Highlander, the available hitches all clear the bumper and stick out past it about 4 inches, The Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitches (75153, 70778) will be nearly identical since they come from the same manufacturer. The Valley Hitch (V81310) in this case is actually very similar to the other two, so it will look the same. All three hitches have the same basic specs. They are all Class III hitches with 2 inch receiver openings. All have a tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds, and

  • Does the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75153 Extend Past the Rear Bumper on a 2006 Toyota Highlander
  • All of the hitches available for the 2006 Toyota Highlander are designed with the end of the receiver very close to flush with the back of the rear bumper. The hitch itself will not extend past the bumper, without a drawbar installed in the hitch. I have posted a photo that should help you visualize where the receiver on the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch, item # 75153, will be placed. I have also provided links to instructions and a installation video for you to review. The K78229 hitc

  • Which Hitch Does Not Extend Past the Rear Bumper on a 2008 Lexus RX350
  • We have a video installation of the Draw-Tite Class III Max-Frame Trailer Hitch, item # 75153, on a 2007 Lexus RX350, see link, that shows the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the farthest out part of the rear bumper at 1-1/2 inches, this leaves the receiver portion of the hitch out about 1/2 inch past the rear bumper. The Curt Class III Hitch, item # 13530, installs flush with the farthest out part of the rear bumper, so it would be the model that extends the least distance,
