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.

Simple!Great and Simple!
prompt del, would order againproduct ordered fit perfect.No Problems
Fast shipping and easy installHad to trim about 1/2 inch of plastic off on my 2500HD but it bolted up perfect.
great product and great service very easy to install. thank you joe fox
Excellent ReceiverVery easy to install, less than 20 min to install, I have and aftermaket valance witch had to be trimmed but if you take your time it looks like a professional did the job.
Great ItemGreat product. all the bolt holes lined up perfectly, truly a no drill install. Trimming the fascia was not nessesary on my 2005 2500HD 4x4. (I just wish I would have known that before hand..)
Product was delivered timely and installed easily, perfect fit, as advertised, no trimming was required on front fascia as it fit on top of the receiver
Went on easily. And I was able to keep the factory tow hooks on the vehicle. So far, so good.
Now I get to see how well it works backing my 25 ft boat up a twisting driveway...
Fit well.It took about an hour to install. You really don't have to remove to recovery hooks. Just the bottom and inside bolts.It looks great on my 2005 Chev HD and I didn't have to trim the fascia.
etrailer had a very good price on my Draw-Tite front mount hitch, Delivery was fast and efficient.
The receiver fit perfectly on my 2002 Silverado HD 2500. I couldn’t be happier!
Good Quality, Good Price, Holds a lot of weight. -- I carry a truck camper in the bed of the truck, so I needed something for a front rack where I could carry a generator, fuel, water, etc. -- Easily held 200+ pounds plus the rack.
Delivery was fast and packaging was good. All the parts were included. I tried to put the hitch on myself but was unable to do it because access to the frame where the hitch bolts on was too tight. That was not the fault of the hitch as it fit correctly. I just didn't have the right tool to get into the narrow space. Ran it down to a local mechanic and he was able to finish mounting it for me in a few minutes. One other problem I ran into was that the mounts for the heavy duty grill guard on my pickup bolted into the same holes as the hitch so I had to take them off. I will need to figure out how to put the mounts back on because there is not enough room on the frame for both mounts.
Easy installation on my 2007 GMC Sierra 3500 dually. I installed the hitch to transport e-bikes. Works great and solid.
The hitch installed easily on the front of my truck and has given me more versatility in using my truck. In the summer I carry 3 bikes on a hitch rack when I go camping. I also hook up a 12000 lb. winch when needed. Sometimes I use the front hitch when moving my boat. This is a very sturdy and reliable hitch. Etrailer customer service is excellent.

Still works great
Exact fitment, easy to install. Did it in my driveway with basic tools in about an hour. Looks clean and didn't have to modify the lower fairing.
This is like the 6th hitch I have purchased from etrailer.com and I have never had an issue yet.
This front receiver is my mounting point for my snow sport plow and it will surely do the job. Very solid and robust. Now just need some winter.

A year later and still flawless. Pushed snow with ease. It has also held a bicycle rack and pushed a trailer around. It has been very good.
Front hitch fit nice on 2006 GMC 2500HD.
Trimmed ~1\4" from lower valance.
Must drill out side mounting holes so the bolts can be installed. I used 5/8" drill bit.
Needed to chase the threads on the bolts. They seemed to want to cross thread before they were cleaned up.
Picture shows parts not needed on Trucks with the tow hooks.
Just received the hitch receiver today (no pun intended). Very easy, precise, 4 bolt assembly into the existing frame. Took about an hour to install for a non-mechanic like me. I really appreciate the versatility that I now have to put different attachments on the front of my truck. Note the ball and step in the pictures. Being lifted 6 inches, even I, at 6 ft 4 in. can't access the motor without the step. I plan to put a carrier on the front and carry a small motorcycle or bicycles when we are on our annual Arizona Snowbird excursion. In appreciate well built, well thought out and executed items.

The hitch receiver has proven very versatile. I have a lightweight snowplow attached to it. It works well. I would suggest using lock-tight on the bolts as they have a tendency to loosen up with all the snowplow-induced vibration.
This front hitch was extremely easy to install on my 2004 Chevy 2500HD. I was working by myself and using a floor jack.
If I would have followed direction and finger tighten the bolts and not tighten before all the bolts were started it would have been done in 20 minutes.
I would highly recommend this product!

OUT STANDING!!!
This hitch is exactly what I wanted! Perfect fit, easy install (~1hr), no cutting, no drilling. I installed it on my 2003 Chevrolet Silverado Crew Cab 2500 HD. I will be using it to carry a bike rack with 4 bikes. Very solid piece of hardware. Some of the notes made me think I might have to remove my front tow hooks permanently, this is not the case. On my truck I just switched out the original bolts for the tow hooks with the bolts supplied with the hitch and reinstalled the tow hooks along with the new hitch all using the new bolts.
Great purchase experience! The website has great images and good access to installation documents. I felt very comfortable that my choice was correct (and it was). Shipping was very fast and it arrived in great condition. I will be coming back to etrailer. Great job!
This product was installed on my 2003 GMC Sierra 2500 HD pickup. The install took me approximately 15-20 minutes using a floor jack and a battery operated impact driver. No modifications to the bumper fascia were needed, nor was it necessary to remove the factory tow hooks. Although it has not been tested, the build quality seems very well made and capable of performing my intended use, which is to mount a motorcycle carrier and dirtbike. The position of the receiver is rather low (approximately 11.5” from the floor on my stock truck with 265/75/16 BFG AT’s), which may make the approach on steep driveways/berms difficult with a motorcycle carrier mounted. A receiver hitch riser may alleviate this concern, however. Untested, I would opine that this tow hitch will more than meet its intended use for me and would strongly recommend this product for its build quality and ease of installation.
Draw-Tite front reciever for 02 to 06 Silverado.
Fit and finish are good. Lines up correctly so there is minimal persuasion required. As I recall getting the torque wrench in was a bit of a challenge . Supports my home built front spare tire mount just fine. Accepts my home built anti-rattle device. The set up seems quite sturdy.
I purchased a front receiver for my 2001 GMC 2500 HD to accept a bike rack to haul my electric bike! I am a 68 year old man with rotor cuff tears in both shoulders & I installed it in my driveway in about an hour! The majority of the time was consumed removing the OEM tow hooks! Now that it on, I think I can replace the tow hooks and use those bolts on the receiver in place of the hardware provided with the hitch! I would recommend this product based on Quality & ease of installation! I hope this is informational!
I installed this front receiver onto my truck to help me push my trailer into a narrow parking spot alongside my home. I used to need assistance from a spotter to help me back the trailer in, but now I can push it from the front and park it without any help.
Thank you etrailer.com customer service for helping me choose the correct model for my Silverado 3500, and for the extremely fast shipping. I couldn't be more pleased!
