Question:

I am purchasing your custom hitch for a 93 Cadillac Deville. Will this drawbar work? Some of your drawbars list the vehicle that it would fit and I want to make sure Ill have no problems. Thanks

The hitch manufacturers recommend drawbars for their hitches based on vehicle height and the most common trailer heights. The recommended drawbar for the 1993 Cadillac DeVille hitch is part # 36071 with a 2-5/8 inch rise or a 3-1/4 inch depending on orientation. Please refer to instructions for installing the hitch as which way the draw bar should be oriented. I will include a link to those instructions below. The hitch for your DeVille is Draw-Tite part # 36173.

A lot of times if a draw bar that is different than the recommended part is needed to keep the trailer level, it is probably a trailer that should not be towed with that vehicle. If your trailer requires a drawbar other than part # 36071 to be level while hitched to your DeVille, you should not tow the trailer with the DeVille.

Since the drawbar you were asking about, part # 36061, is not recommended by the manufacturer, I would advise against using it.
