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.
etrailer.com Technical Support
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.

Easily attach a variety of accessories to the front of your vehicle with this fully welded, corrosion-resistant trailer hitch receiver. Perfect for winches, spare tire carriers and more.by: John04/17/2024
I'm off to overland in Texas and wanted you to know that the hitch and winch carrier are perfect. Using quick connectors, I can use ir on the front and rear.
Removing it also saves on gas.
It works great with a moulded number, saving on buying a specialized steel bumper and other expensive attachments.
I like that I can still have all the internal mud guards and brush cover without having to take them off and not be able to have them on.
Awesome!

This is a high quality hitch that fits the Gladiator perfectly. The hardest part of the installation was removing and reinstalling the push fasteners on the plastic air dam. While the hitch fit is perfect, the instructions for cutting the plastic air dam leave something to be desired. I finally had to eyeball the location for the hole and then found that the suggested utility knife simply wouldn't cut the plastic air dam. An oscillating saw solved the cutting problem easily and the best guess location worked out. Am I happy with the end result? You bet! Would I do it again? Absolutely.

Just received the front mount hitch receiver from eTrailer, haven’t installed but can tell it’s a quality item. Extremely impressed with eTrailer’s packaging technique to stabilize the receiver in the box for shipping. They have devised a system to hold the hitch assembly completely stable inside their heavy duty box to keep the heavy hitch from busting through during shipment. The complete assembly arrived without a scratch even though the shipper did manage to make some holes in the box. Excellent work eTrailer and first scratch on my receiver happens tomorrow while I am installing. My scratches are OK and hold my memories, but I don’t like other’s inflicting harm.

Super easy install, I don’t have the tool for removing the push pins, so I used needle nose pliers. It worked fine. Hardest part was putting the shroud back on. 45 minutes for installation. Snow plow arrives next week.
by: Christopher08/26/2023
Installed in an afternoon. Was able to use an AutoZone torque wrench for free to install appropriately. Snowplowed my ¼ mile driveway all winter in WI. Worked as stated. Cutting plastic trim on my standard Jeep was a little tricky-to make it look nice. Would be nice if you included a rubber hitch plug.

Poor Customer Service and Quality Control! 3 days to process the order and 5 days before receiver hitch arrived. The hitch arrived in a box with no packaging material inside and was damaged on the mounting areas and the face of the receiver (see photo). Appears this item was repacked and resent to me, vice a “new” item as advertised. I contacted etrailer about shipping a replacement item, but they said there is no guarantee the next one would not arrive in the same shape as the first one. Very disappointed and certainly do not recommend etrailer for any of their products or services!

I was surprised that there is no way to fasten the plastic front shield back on - the two screw holes are removed for the lower bolts when the metal wind guard is removed....I ended up using some tie wraps......a hoaky prayer of a fix...otherwise the draw tite receiver is nice.

You are correct in that the removal of the metal wind dam does mean that that lower attachment bolts on the plastic front shield. are not used. With the hitch installed the front shield will hold in place without the lower attachment bolts. I recommend watching the video we have a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler. At mark 6:02 we talk about the front fascia and the lower attachment bolts.
by: Francis K08/27/2018
Very good product. I wish I would have know that the 8 push in retaining tabs for the plastic air dam were hard to install as I would have bought the tool to install them. There is no room to get your fingers in there to reset them. It took almost as long to put those 8 plastic retaining tabs back in as it took to remove everything and install the hitch. I did cut the metal air deflector to use part of it to hold the bottom bolts as it was very flimsy relying on just the 8 plastic tabs to hold it in place. I flatten the the metal pieces I cut so it would not interfere with the torque rating on the front bottom bolts. The unit is very solid and holds my fishing, bike and cargo racks very well. The handle nuts are different and I had to cut the lower one as it stuck out 2-1/2" below the frame. There is room and access points to use regular nuts on the JL. Trimming the plastic air dam took a little work as the measurements are at an angle and had to trim it in place for the final fit. Looks nice, I have to touch up where I scrape off some paint. It took 1-1/2 hours but like I said without the proper tool took it me 35 minutes to install the plastic retaining tabs. I started at 5:30 AM, so it was fight them back on or wait for the auto parts store to open at 9:00 AM, buy or borrow the tool before you start and save some aggravation. Once again great product and etrailer as it was delivered a day early. I would recommend this product and etrailer to others.

It is working out very well. People ask how my cooler fishing rack is attached and I show them the front hitch and they like it and I told them where I got it from. I have used it once for the bike rack up front. I also used it twice fro my cargo rack. I am very happy with the product.

Placed my order for the Draw Tite front mount hitch on Monday came on Wednesday. I put it on Thursday morning. Fairly straight forward directions. Seems like it’s built strong. Another great deal from etrailer and draw tite! I’ll be using this for placing trailers in tight spots, and can also be used for a recovery point.

Followed video for a quick/easy install. I did have to cut more out of plastic splash guard to clear the steel plate on hitch above receiver. I also only needed to use 2 spacer washers on the bottom bolts.
by: Bill B.08/02/2018
2018 Jeep JL Wrangler
The Draw-Tite front mount hitch receiver was extremely easy to install on my JLU. To prep the Jeep, I removed the front plastic air dam and metal air dam before the hitch arrived. As a result, once the hitch arrived, installation took a lot less time.
I have yet to connect anything to the hitch receiver, but it seems to be a high quality item.

Not sure how I was going to back my boat in a tight, so after some research I decided on the Draw-Tite front hitch. The product is well made and all the necessary hardware for installing on my Jeep gladiator was supplied. The form, fit and design was perfect and installation was straight forward.

This Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver is NOT a perfect fit for a 2019 Jeep Wrangler JL. Then Side mount holes do NOT line up.

Hitch arrived very quickly. Heavy duty construction. Pre-fitment installation looks like it will fit my 2021 Jeep Rubicon. Receiver length looks good under the OEM front bumper! I'm tempted to go buy a snow plow now and plow the roads of Dallas, TX!

See what our Experts say about this Draw-Tite Front Receiver Hitch
- Front Mount Hitch Needed for a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited We have both the Curt # C31086 and the Draw-Tite # 65079 which are confirmed to fit a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler as long as it has the standard factory bumper. I am unsure what comes on the Sahara but if you have the standard bumper you are good to go! The Curt has a line pull rating of 9,000 lbs and a vertical load rating of 350 lbs. The Draw-Tite option has the same line pull rating but the vertical load rating is 500 lbs instead. Installation details are linked for both front mount hitches...

Unfortunately, we do not have any traditional 2-bike hitch bike racks that will work with the 92 pound weight of your 2 Himiway Escape E-bikes. You are correct that the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 does not have enough weight capacity to handle your e-bikes. With that being said, I recommend using an Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier...
view full answer... - Parts Needed For Moving Superwinch SX12SR From Front To Rear Of a 2024 Jeep WranglerI recommend using a Winch Plate # C31010 to attach the Superwinch SX12SR Integrated Off-Road Winch # SW49GR. You will be able to mount this in a Rear # e98856 or Front # 65079 receiver depending on your needs for your 2024 Jeep Wrangler. For the wiring we have the Rear Wiring Kit # BDW20043 and Quick-Connect Set # BDW20018 which will allow you to install the connector on the wiring which comes with the winch and be able to easily move it from front to rear without a long extension cord.

The Draw-Tite hitch has a higher vertical load capacity at 500 pounds when the Curt hitch has a vertical load capacity of 350 pounds, so you will get more bang for your buck with the Draw-Tite hitch. The Draw-Tite hitch has an easy, bolt-on installation with no welding required. If you're needing to relocate the license plate, I recommend the Front Mount Trailer Hitch...

view full answer... - Is Front Hitch for 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe Strong Enough to Use with PlowThat's a really valid concern about the install of the Draw Tite hitch # 65079 on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Rubicon. I personally am not a fan of snow plows that attach to front hitches as from experience here at etrailer they just aren't quite as secure. We had the front hitch of a Highlander get ripped off when demoing a plow here, but to be fair the parking lot here looks like a war zone. With all of that said we've sold quite a few of the # 65079 and had several people use it to...
view full answer... - Will a Front Mounted Hitch on 2020 Jeep Gladiator Interfere with Electronic Sway Bar DisconnectsThe Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch # 65079 will mount to the front frame stanchion on your 2020 Jeep Gladiator, and won't come anywhere near the wheel, where the sway bar is disconnected on your Gladiator, so there's nothing to worry about. This front hitch has a 500-lbs vertical load limit and a 9000-lbs pull rating, so it's a great option for any Jeep. I've linked an installation video of this hitch for you to have a look at.

The Curt # 31408 measures 32-3/4" long x 8-3/4" wide, the Draw-Tite # 65080 measures 36-3/4" long x 10-3/4" wide, and the Draw-Tite # 65079 measures 31-3/4" long x 9-1/2" wide, which you can see in the included diagrams. Each of these options will require fabrication as you know, since none of them are confirmed to fit your 2002 Kia Sportage 4x4. I recommend checking...

Perfect. Use it to move around boat, cargo and utility trailers. Starting its second season mounting a Sno Way plow. Still like the day it was installed.
