This fully welded, corrosion-resistant vehicle trailer hitch receiver is perfect for your light-duty towing needs. Draw-Tite's Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry standards. Drawbar sold separately.
Features:
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.

Great rack and hitch.
The hitch is sound, and reasonably attractive. It arrived very quickly.
always excellent service and excellent product.. staff is very knowledgable'
nice fit and easy to install. Only problem was a slight bit of weld on the inside where the stinger goes, had to file it off.
Unit was delivered promptly and in excellent condition. The mounting instructions were clear and helpful, but the best aspect of this hitch was that its holes were aligned perfectly with the frame of my Sonic. I did not have to review the the enclosed litiature to know that it was made in the USA. Congrats for a job well done.
I LOVE dealing with these guys, I had an issue that was NOT their fault and they bent over backwards to resolve it FAST! I am a repeat customer and will definitely use them next time I need a hitch!
Talk about easy, follow the short instuctions and it almost mounts itself. And fishing bolt into holes couldn't be easier than with the fancy fishing lines supplied with the hitch. Thirty minutes is a little optimistic but after mounting one I could probably get close to that time.
This is an excellent hitch! The instructions provided were very clear and the pictures made the whole installation process even easier. The bolt holes lined up perfectly and everything went together with ease. Installed, the hitch is hardly even noticeable! After experiencing how easy these are to install and the quality of the product, we will be ordering one for my moms CRV next. Great product!
Took longer to jack up the car and let it down. Excellent quality, great directions and setup tools. Would buy again if needed, only problem was two month delay because of how high demand. Well worth it, I mainly use it for hauling mtn bikes/snowboards/wakeboards/custom mini camper. Get this one if you need one.
great website with reviews, pics and videos. I have a pretty new car and was not going to retro fit anything to it. This hitch seems strong and it fit like a frickin' glove. the install video and instructions were idiot proof and it was installed in 35 minutes from wheels on the ground to wheels back on the ground. I have only used it once so far with the bike rack and bike attached, but so far, perfect. I bought the swagman chinook 2 bike rack to use in it. great and smart customer support as well. thanks.

Still great, no problems with the hitch at all.
I ordered this aftermarket hitch along with the 1.25 inch adapter to 2 inch adapter to use an already owned bike rack I had. This product was an excellent purchase, the delivery was quick, the installation was fairly easy too, it took about an hour including time to jack up the car. I am completely satisfied with this product, if you need a high quality hitch I suggest purchasing this one.
I purchased a class I trailer hitch from E Trailer so I could attach a bike rack to my 2013 chevy sonic hatchback car. The hitch came quickly and was well packaged in a heavy duty box. I had studied the on line E Trailer installation video before purchasing this item, and the video was excellent and the hitch bolted up exactly as the video described. The small wire guides included with the hitch made dropping the bolts through the cars tubular frame very easy. I completed the entire installation in approx. 1 hour. The hitch is well made, and fits up over the muffler perfectly with no clearance issues. I've purchased many RV parts from E Trailer in the past including tow bar mounts, and brake assemblies for towing etc; all have been great products with great service and delivery. I would purchase again.
Glad I ordered the DrawTite hitch from etrailer.com great product. Thanks to the installation video it went on easy I didn't even have to jack the car up. The lowest part of the hitch is only 2 3/4 inches below the bumper so clearance will not be affected, it's gonna be great to be able to haul my little utility trailer around
I originally bought my mobility scooter to pull behind my motor home, much handier than a car. Problem was I couldn't very well drive the motor home every time I went to a store just to take my scooter. To my surprise e trailer.com had a custom fit hitch receiver for my Chevy sonic. Fits perfect, super easy installation, very sturdy, works great.
Just installed this hitch and hooked up my bike rack, went on pretty easy and looks like it will work perfectly. Still, need to connect the wire harness to be able to pull my small trailer for those large items that can not easily fit in the hatchback.
Overall a great product at a great price.
Trailer hitch fit perfectly. The only problem I had was the installation kit came with the wrong size nuts for the bolts. Luckily I had some that were correct.
installation was easy it went just like the installation video.Everything i needed was included everything!the product arrived on time and in excellent condition.i highly recommend this product and etrailer rocks! i will buy from them again!!!
Took half an hour to install this Draw-Tite 24878 hitch. Did the job on ramps, no lift needed. A perfect fit without any problems. Woulkd easily recommand this product.
The hitch came in with no problems at all. Installing it was a breeze just follow the video. I used a small floor jack as a lift and I didn't have to lift the car.
Had it on in less the 30 min.
Works perfect for towing my motorcycle, easy enough to install.
The Hitch is awesome and is working great. I've enclosed a pic of what I use it for.
[Thumbs up]
Install was easy and hitch is working out perfectly.
This is the 2nd of two products I ordered through etrailer.com. My level of satisfaction for this trailer hitch is as high as it was for the bicycle carrier I also orderd. The review is going to be just as glowing as the other product. etrailer.com is without question, the best website I've ever seen when it comes to product description and installation instructions. The installation videos are incredible. Thanks to the ease and simplicity of the installation videos, I knew I would have absolutely no problem whatsoever doing the work myself...and I was right. You guys are a class act from the young lady who took my order over the phone to the speed of shipping. I've already referred a co-worker to your site...thank you!

Fantastic
The Draw-Tite trailer hitch for our Sonic hatchback installed with no problems and has given us nothing but outstanding service. We just sold the Sonic and now will be looking at the Draw-Tite trailer hitch for a 2016 Equinox ASAP.
Thanks to etrailer.com for great delivery, great instructions and a well built product.

Great hitch, my bike rack can be installed it removed within a minute. Fits our Equinox nicely and with the etrailer rubber hitch cover, it always looks great.
This hitch is poorly made. Once installed the receiver was crooked ( this is a bolt in item and the car is new, no accidents) and then, to top it off, I have to use an 1 1/4 " to 2" Adaptor for my bike rack and I can find no off the shelf adaptors that will fit. This is because the receiver is blocked at the other end and doesn't allow the adaptor (or just a regular 1-1/4" hitch bar) to slide in far enough so it can be pinned!! Chinese junk!! Stay away!!!!

This hitch is designed to have a stop welded into the receiver tube to prevent a higher capacity Class II accessory from being used. This is intentionally done as a safety measure. Overloading can cause the receiver tube to bend or the hitch attachment points to the vehicle to fail.
Do you have a question about this Trailer Hitch?

Chances are that was not a piece of weld flash. In Class I hitches, there is a stop put into place. It is to prevent using a Class II 1-1/4 inch product in a Class I 1-1/4 inch hitch. Class Is have a lower weight rating so the stop is added to prevent accidentally overloading the hitch and damaging the accessory, hitch, vehicle or all 3.
