Fully welded vehicle trailer hitch is strong and durable. Draw-Tite's Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry standards. The combination of an e-coat base and a powder coat finish provides excellent rust protection.
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.

Easy to install. Fit perfectly.
got just what i wanted. insalls ez. took about 45 min. looks great.
great service quick delivery,in two days great phone sevice.
Excellent product Very easy to install.
Shipping was quick and the hitch is great! I had it professionally installed since I didn't want work under my car out on the street in 100 degree weather.
Great shipping, Great price and follow up. Installation turned out awesome and very easy. Thanks
Hitch fits great, exhaust is tricky. It takes longer to put the hangers back on then to install the hitch, but that is not the hitch's fault.
Great product!! Replaced a CURTIS model for this one. Better construction. Stronger, More reinforced. Very easy installation!!! AND quick delivery by etrailer.com!!
Hitch arrived in excellent condition with all parts.
Installation was rated at a 4 but I think it was a little more difficult.
A 45 minute installation is not an average. You should count on at least 2 hours. Working around the muffler is the most difficult part because you do have to drop it down...and also, you will have to enlarge the bolt holes with a rotary tool....not too difficult though.
All in all it was a pretty painless experience and I would definitely do it again.
Installed product myself w/o lifting vehicle, nice looking as far as hitches go...the video was very helpful. Very fast in shipping my order, will be ordering more from this company!
Arrived extremly quick. Very accurate. The paper instructions could have been better, but the online video was great. Just wish there was a better way to deal with the muffler (ex: make the bracket have a notch so you can take left rubber mount on and off by way of the peg on the vehicle, not the hook on the muffler).
Product is exactly as advertised, no surprises when I opened the box. It is a heavy duty quality hitch, installation was as promised. I would highly recommend this hitch.
etrailer went beyond what I expected in shipping. It was here in three days, great email communication that I did not expect, and nice to deal with. highly recommended.
I purchased this trailer hitch for my 2005 Honda CR-V. The delivery time was excellent at 5 days and I previewed instructions and videos at the e-trailer website prior to receiving the delivery. The installation went very smoothly but I'd put the installation time at 60 minutes or so rather than 40 minutes. The only difficulty I had was with the flat washers on the U-bolt assemble. At first I could only get the split washer and nut on. Then, after tightening up one side fully, I removed the other side, installed flat washer, split washer and nut, then loosened the original side and installed flat washer, split washer and nut. All-in-all it was very smooth and the product is heavy duty and nicely manufactured.
Great product, fantastic install tools and superior instructions. I've installed more than one hitch and this was the easiest to install of them all. The wires for threading the bolts through the frame made it child's play and the instructions even gave me a heads up on potential difficulties. Thanks for a great product !
This hitch tucks up under the bumber and is mostly out of sight. Installation was a snap and the instructions were clear. Make certain to read them all the way through and you will have the hitch installed under an hour. Whoever invented those fish wires is a genius. They make an impossible task of placing the bolts inside the boxed frame, a breeze. The biggest pain was installing the trailer harness. The instructions for a 2006 CRV were way off. Once I got the interior side panel pulled back, the rest was fairly easy.
I am very happy with this hitch. It looks great and I enjoyed installing it myself. I'm not gonna lie I ran into a few difficulties with the installation but the staff at etrailer helped me through each problem.
Product Is fine but is not nearly as easy to install. For one thing the spacers and carriage bolts don’t fit in the holes, so the “no drilling required” claim is not true. Secondly it is impossible to put back the second rubber mount for the exhaust once the hitch is on. Let’s just say install will be a royal pain.
This has been a very solid hitch. Installation went reasonably smooth given it is only the second one I have installed. The kit came with some ingenious wires to fish the mounting bolts through the vehicle’s frame. I was able to install on my own with the help of my SUV floor jack to keep it in the right position. A second person helping would make the job easier but you will probably want to have a jack available regardless. I’m using this for a 4 bike platform rack.
Purchased this hitch receiver for my daughter's car before she goes to college. Purpose was for possible use of hitch-mounted bike rack in the future. Car has 190,000 miles on it.
Took me about 3 hours to install, but it should have taken less if I had read the instructions more closely. Specifically, in my case, two things: (1) enlarge only the forward hole on each frame rail and feed the fish wire, bolt and supporting block through it to the rear hole, and (2) reinstalling inboard rear muffler hanger on vehicle mounted hanger post before installing hitch assembly. I wasted time enlarging rear frame rail hole to accept bolt and support block, and further wasted time re-lowering hitch assembly to install rubber hanger strap on inboard post.
I opted to remove the muffler entirely. Silicone lubricant spray made easy removal of the rubber hangers off the frame mounted posts. The forward attach junction was not difficult with some PB Blaster and a 12mm deep well socket. Car has very little rust, so not a struggle. Reused existing gasket - no leaks. Enlarging the frame rail hole was not too big a deal; a Dremel drill with grinding bit was sufficient. The hole was big enough for the bolt, but the support block is slightly wider, necessitating the enlargement. The hitch receiver is not light enough to manhandle single-handed AND install the nuts on the frame rail bolts. Put a 2" ball hitch on receiver so the receiver would balance on a box under the car so I could install nuts on the bolts without pushing bolts into frame rail to be lost. Worked pretty good. Without hitch support, even two people might struggle holding it.
As recommended in instructions, bent tangs on muffler hanger posts upward about 1/2" or so (no Mapp burner, used heat gun to warm tangs), so as to lower muffler approximately 1/2". Placed muffler pipe over rear axle, and installed inboard muffler hanger post on hanger strap (that honestly was the most difficult part of the install). Then, with hanger strap already installed on muffler outboard post, installed hanger strap on outboard vehicle-mounted post. That was the easy one. Then reattached muffler pipe to mid-pipe. Clearance turned out to be about right, as top of muffler clears bolt ends by 1/4 to 3/8". No rattles or noises from rear of car while driving.
Overall, happy with experience. Hitch looks to be well-built, robust, and nice-looking. It was well packed for shipping, and suffered no damage during shipping. Receiver tucks up close to, but not quite, touching rear bumper cover, and is flush vertically with rear bumper. Will most likely purchase another one for wife's Toyota.
I purchased a Draw-Tite Max -Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver 75690 from e-Trailer to replace a class I receiver for hauling our bikes and also my trailer. I needed a more weight capacity hitch because I had to extend my bike rack past my spare tire on my Honda CRV. Now with the 7 inch added adapter purchased from e-Trailer I can haul our two bikes safely. The hitch was very easy to install and I give 5 stars for e-Trailer because of their quality products and competitive prices and fast service. Since then I ordered a locking anti wobble hitch pin and a 2" stainless steel ball and again e-Trailer came through quality parts and satisfaction.
My etrailer looks OEM on my 2003 Honda CRV. It does not protrude from the rear bumper and the sides of the etrailer angle underneath the vehicle that has a great aesthetic appearance.
Unfortunately, my vehicle only has a 1500lb tow capacity preventing me from using the etrailer for what I intended.
Excellent!!
The hitch looks great on the back of my 2004 CR-V. Installation was straightforward. The instructional video provided several helpful tips, especially regarding the muffler hangers.
I had trouble reattaching the inboard muffler hanger, and had to improvise. My temporary solution was to use two zip-ties to connect it to the bracket on the muffler.
I chose this over the Curt model, as it looked more robust, and didn't require stabilizing straps for unsupported loads.
Now that it is installed, I need to try it out!
The hitch is the same as you'd get elsewhere. The etrailer difference was in how the hitch was priced and packaged.
D.O.G.E Approved - Well done!
Nice hitch, easy to install with two people. My only gripe is the carriage bolts are to short, I got them flush with the nut, don't like that, I like to see at least 1/4 inch of threds. I also under coated the hitch before installing it.
Good fit and great install video on etr ailer!

We do have a video of this hitch being installed on a 2004 CR-V that shows some of the issues that you experienced. The installation instructions do indicate that the holes in the frame will need to be enlarged to allow the hardware to be fished through. Our installers us a small rotary tool for this, but we have seen a variety of tools used to achieve the same result. Additionally the installation instructions have a note after step 1 to make sure that the rubber exhaust hanger is re-installed before the hitch is raised into place, and it is remove the exhaust hanger from the muffler side instead of the hanger rod side due to the interference with the hitch side bracket. I have included a link to the installation instructions and our installation video for your reference.
