Shipping SpecialFully welded vehicle trailer hitch is strong and durable. Draw-Tite's Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry standards. The combination of an e-coat base and a powder coat finish provides excellent rust protection.

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.

Today on this 2009 Ford Edge we are going to be installing hitch part number 75526. This application will also apply for Hidden Hitch part number 87433. Okay we are underneath the vehicle and before we can get started we need to go ahead and lower the exhaust down and get it out of the way. There are three hangers located here at the rear of the vehicle that we need to remove the exhaust off of. One here on the drivers side, one here at the center of the vehicle, and one hereon the passengers side. Before I do remove all three hangers from the exhaust I want to make sure I support the center exhaust tube here. Once we remove the exhaust from its hangers the exhaust could fall and damage itself. I am just going to take a basic ratchet strap here and just hang it from the suspension enough to support the exhaust tube here. We want to just spray the stud here down with a spray lubricant like a WD-40. Then we can just use a crowbar and try to get behind there and pry it off.
Next we are going to go ahead and remove these screws that are holding down the fascia support strap here. We are going to go ahead and push that up out of the way. After that we are going ahead and remove both heat shields from both the driver and passenger side frame rails here. To do that there are three screws and one push rivet that we are going to need to remove. But there is also a clip here that is holding the wiring harness onto the driver side heat shield, you are going to want to pop that out as well. And with the heat shields removed now you can see holes a little better that we are going to be using for our trailer hitch.
The next step is to go ahead and fish wire our bolts in through the end of the frame down through the holes we are going to be attaching the hitch with. We are going to start with the forward most hole and we are going to fish this from that hole out through the end of the frame here. There is a slight opening here where the frame meets the bumper that we can feed this through. Next we are going to take our block and feed it onto our bolt leader and then we will take the 1/2 inch carriage bolt and wrap it around the threads of the bolt leader. You want to make sure you keep the bolt and block independent while pulling it through the frame which will make it a lot easier to get it down into place. All right you will just want to repeat that procedure for the passenger side as well. Now you can go ahead and put the heat shields back into place before we install the trailer hitch. Again we want to notch out the areas to insure the hitch touches directly to the frame. See we have notched out perfectly around the bolts in the frame. We are not going to be putting this bolt or this bolt back in, we are simply going to attaching it by the push rivet and the bolt in the middle.
All right now we are going to go ahead and put the hitch up in position. We are going to be attaching each one of the carriage bolts to the hitch with the conical tooth washers and the hex nuts that are provided with the hitch installation kit. Okay and now we want to go ahead and torque the bolts down and verify with the instructions the appropriate torque rating for your individual hitch. And then we want to go ahead and put the screw back in where the fascia strap was. And then finally we just want to reinstall the exhaust back up on its hangers. And this will conclude the hitch installation of hitch part number 75526 on a 2009 Ford Edge.

This hitch fit perfectly on my 2010 Ford Edge Limited. It's beautiful because only the very end of the receiver shows under the rear bumper facia panel. No ugly bar running the width of my vehicle. Very clean. Install was fairly easy, especially with the help of the video from the web site. Overall great product!17831

The installation went real well. All the parts fit perfectly and the hitch is hidden behind the bumper with only the receiver part shown. The video was a real big help as I began to install all I had to do was glance at the directions and I could remember how that took place in the video. Now, we'll see if I have as good of luck today as I hook up the wiring harness. Great video on that to by the way.22189

The box got to the house on a Friday and I was putting it together on Saturday morning. The video was very valuable and the written instructions were clear as well. It only took me 15 minutes longer than the suggested time mostly because I was taking my time. Great product and advise. 19154

Overall I am satisfied with the product, but when I went to bolt on the hitch the holes did not line up. Upon further investigation I found that one end of the assembly was bent in about 1/2". One good swing with a 20lb sledge while the hitch rested on a wood block did the trick, but I was disappointed that I had to do this. I'm not sure if this happened during assembly or during shipping, but it is definitely something to correct.19146

Installation was pretty easy. I was surprised at how easy the bolts fished through the frame. Once the bolts were through, I used a thin strand of copper wire to wrap around the threads to keep from accidentally pushing them back up into the hole when positioning the hitch. Getting the hitch in position and the nuts started is definitely a two-person job.5789

Fit PERFECT, bolts need a trim I just finished installing the unit on our 2007 Edge. All the parts were there, but on my ford access to the rear frame openings were plugged, so i fished the bolts n from the outer side frames rails. The bolts included needed a tweak to shave one side of the head flange down so it would fit through the access hole. Total time as 1 hr and 20 minutes. It was 20F outside so worked slow I could have enlarged the frame hole, but it only took a minute to grind off a 1/8" off one side of the bolt.2635

This product was great. The step by step video was a great tool to know exactly how to put this receiver on, otherwise I would have had some trouble. Easy to do, 1.25 hours by myself in my driveway. (It is nice to have a helping hand lift the receiver in place, but I didn't) I would do this again on my next vehicle. 26374
