Video Transcript for Draw-Tite Front Hitch 5443 Review
Today we'll be reviewing part number 5443. This is the Hidden Hitch Front Mount Trailer Hitch License Plate Relocation Bracket. It is designed to fit a 2 inch by 2 inch trailer hitch receiver. This is the portion here that slides into the receiver tube of your hitch. Made from a nice sturdy steel construction and has a glossy finish on it, so it is designed to stand up well against rusting and corrosion and it's steel all the way around, the mounts on the back as well as the face plate, it's all solid steel. We'll go over a few measurements here. It's going to have an overall width of right at 9 inches and an overall height of 5 1/2 inches. Here on the back side, we have 2 different pin hole locations. You do want to make sure that when you insert this inside your hitch, that you do have enough room from the center of one pin hole to the back of the face plate here, that way you can actually make sure you can line up your pin holes and insert a hitch pin and clip to secure the plate bracket to the vehicle. I'm measuring from the center of the first pin hole to the back of the plate. We have a measurement of 2 3/4 of an inch.
From the back of the plate to the center of the rear pin hole, we're going to have a measurement of 4 1/2 inches. How this would work is you'd take it, you just slide it into the receiver tube of your hitch and you can line it up to whatever pin hole is going to best suit you and you need to take a 5/8 inch pin and clip or a hitch pin and lock to secure it in place and those are sold separately. You can refer to the product's product page under related items or you can go to our website and type in part number PC3 and it's going to refer you to a standard 5/8 inch pin that comes with a clip. You can kind of see how that mounts there. Really simple installation. It's also very solid. It does come with all the mounting hardware that you need to secure a license place to the front face plate. It does have 4 bolts, 4 washers and 5 nuts and I believe that they are rubber locking nuts. That's going to complete today's review of part number 5443. This is the Hidden Hitch Front Mount Trailer Hitch License Plate Relocation Bracket.

I have been doing business with ETrailer for years and have to say their customer service is second to none. I needed a way to mount a slow moving vehicle sign on my golf cart and this product was as describe and worked perfect for my application. Product is a combination of not being over or under built. 138059

Much heavier construction than I was expecting -- that's good. Hole slots aren't far enough apart (vertically) for my Calif license plate. That's not good. (C'mon guys, how hard would it be to research every state's plates and make the hole patterns match, based on the purchaser's address?) 406600

Great product. I removed my license plate holder on my wrangler and my spare tire. Where the spare tire was I have a delete plate with design so I put my license plate on the etrailer hitch with a lock on it which works out great. 591904

Great way to cover your hitch. Looks good. My plate was welded a little crooked to inserts but was able to put in a vice and straighten it. 571918

Not overbuilt, not flimsy, but just right! Been missing my front license plate for awhile. Before "the Man" takes notice, I figured I'd better do something about it. Other companies had 30 lbs behemoths, others had ones made of plastic. This one is perfect. It should be able to handle a few oopsies without the vehicle being eligible for reclassment of being up-armored. If you're already looking for a receiver hitch license plate holder, you know what to look for and this is it. Go for it! 106638

Nice look, fit, and finish. Heavy duty, thick gauge and NOT Cheap. Recommend a low cost hitch pin accompany this product; otherwise, there is nothing that will hold this bracket in place. 29520

Do you have a question about this Accessories and Part?
- Front Hitch Receiver Compatible with 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500
- The front mounted hitch from your 2010 Silverado will not fit the 2019 model. For that newer truck you will need the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 65082 which is rated for 500 lbs vertical load. You may also be interested in the Front Mount Trailer Hitch License Plate Relocation Bracket # 5443.
The 2010 version like # 65052 had very different mounting locations and only fit 2007-2013 model years.

- Curt front-mount trailer hitch # 31042 will not fit your 4WD 1989 Chevrolet K2500's 34-inch frame width. The other option from Draw-Tite, front hitch # 65005, will fit your truck so long as it is not the Crew Cab. This hitch install will require drilling, some fascia trimming and relocation of your license plate using a bracket like # 5443.
The linked customer photo shows this item installed on a compatible truck.

- I am sorry to hear about the issue you are having while using your bike rack. I do have some options for you to display your license plate with the bike rack attached but Thule does not offer any products for this purpose. The vast majority of law enforcement officers will not pull you over for such a minor infraction but there are always going to be a few that do so in that case I have two options.
The first option for you would be to mount a license plate bracket like the License Plate...
view full answer... - Recommended Front Mounted Trailer Hitch for a 2002 Chevy Express Van
- The front mounted hitch I recommend is the Curt # C31016. It is a corrosion-resistant trailer hitch receiver and you can add many hitch mounted accessories. It has a very precise robotic welding which maximizes it's strength and durability. Trimming of front air dam or fascia may be required for hitch installation.
The Draw-Tite # 65016 you also referenced is another solid front mounted trailer hitch. It's a fully welded steel construction that ensures stength and durability. Plastic...
view full answer... - What Fascia Trimming is Required to Install the Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch on a 2011 Chevrolet 3500
- The front fascia trimming that is required to install the Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch on your 2011 Chevrolet 3500 is detailed in the installation instructions that I have linked for you. Basically, you will need to drill a square hole that is 3-1/4 inches by 3-1/4 inches.
To begin measuring for the cutout, you will want to measure from the tow hook bolt center to the ground. Next, subtract 4-1/8 inches from that measurement, this will be the distance from the ground to the bottom of...
view full answer... - Recommended License Plate Relocation Bracket For 2 Inch Hitch Receiver
- For your Purple Heart plate, I recommend the Front Mount Trailer Hitch License Plate Relocation Bracket # 5443. This will fit with a 2 inch receiver on the front or the back of your vehicle.
You may want to consider a hitch lock like # 7683 to secure it to your hitch receiver.
view full answer... - Replacement 2 Inch Receiver Cover Plate
- I don't believe we have the 4 screw plastic hitch cover plate you are referring to. I've attached all of our hitch cover options for 2 inch hitch receivers to assist.
If you are looking for a hitch mounted license plate holder, we have the steel # C31002 and # 5443. Both of these are welded to the receiver shank. We do not carry a plastic version of this.
view full answer... - Can Fold Down License Plate Holder # 8802 be Used with a Rear Mounted Trailer Hitch
- In order to use the fold down license plate holder # 8802 pm a trailer hitch you would have to fabricate something for it to attach to. It is meant to be used on vehicles where the receiver goes through the bumper. Using a holder that actually fits in the receiver such as # 5443 or # C31002 would be the better way to go.
Both of these products indicate they are for front mount hitches but they will fit in any 2 inch receiver, front or back.
view full answer... - Front-Mount Trailer Hitch for 1994 Chevrolet C/K Series 1500 Pickup
- A front-mounted hitch sure does make life easier when its time to move your trailer around. For your 1994 Chevrolet C/K Series 1500 Pickup you can use Curt's front-mount hitch # 31042 for a no-drilling installation (as long as your frame does not measure 34-inches outside to outside). If you prefer a lower-cost option we offer the Draw-Tite # 65005. This does require some drilling and fascia trimming for installation and you'll need a license plate relocation bracket too, part # 5443.

- The procedure for installation is the same for the 2007 and 2008 model. The hitch also carries over. We offer a Front Mount Trailer Hitch License Plate Relocation Bracket, part # 5443, that will take care of the front plate.

- I went out to the warehouse to take a look at the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch License Plate Relocation Bracket # 5443 referenced in your question. I measured a distance of 1-1/2 inches from the inside of one fork to the inside of the other. From outside to outside it is just under 2 inches.
I have attached an image with this dimension labeled for you to review. I have also attached a short installation video on this product that you might find helpful. The standard Pin and Clip...

- The top of the shank L-brackets of the Front Mount Trailer Hitch License Plate Relocation Bracket, item # 5443, is about 3-1/4 inches to the top the license plate bracket. The hitch pin is not included with this item. You could use the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock - Flush Design for 2 inch Trailer Hitches, part # 7683, or the Pin and Clip For Class III, IV and V Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # PC3.

- It does not matter which battery the Superwinch Tiger Shark Series Off-Road Winch - Wire Rope - Roller Fairlead - 9,500 lbs, # SW1595200, you mentioned is connected to in your 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Diesel. The batteries are run in series so you have better cracking amps, but which battery you connect to won't affect any accessories. I suggest runing the engine while using the winch because the alternator will help give you more power and it will keep your batteries from draining...
