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.

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.Received the hitch and wire harness 2 days after I ordered them. Installation was easy and not too time consuming. Would definitely recommend to others.
The hitch arrived quickly and I installed it a day or two later. When looking the job over and decided to support the bumper instead of removing it which worked out. You can see how I did it in the photo. You just have to be careful not to knock it over. At first I thought there was a problem because the hitch wouldn't fit between the frame rails and the bottom bolt holes were a little misaligned on the drivers side. I found the vertical plate on the drivers side needed a couple taps with my rubber mallet which brought everything into alignment and it went right in. Remember to torque the bottom bolts first. I ran the bottom bolts up and thought they were snug and went ahead and torqued the upper bumper bolts. It bugged me that there may have been a gap so I loosened the upper bumper bolts and rechecked the torque on the bottom bolts and found that the bolts on one side turned another half a turn or so when I rechecked the torque. I'm happy with the hitch, it looks great.
David B - 12/07/2017Incredible fit in my new 2017 GMC Canyon. We are talking factory perfect. The box was perfect - no dings, bends or dents to pry back - Flawless fit. My pix say it all. The tuck under the frame is laser-perfect. Jacked into place like butter on toast - smooth. The finish is incredible - the welds look perfect - the hardware wrapped perfect. I mean 10-out-of-10 perfect. This is my third hitch from etrailer.com, and I've bought a couple harnesses for one-off projects - and I keep being impressed. Keep it up!!

I love this hitch/receiver. The installation was a bit harder than I expected, but I was able to do it with the assistance of a grandson.
I did have to purchase/rent a large breaker bar socket driver to complete the installation. My standard ratchet didn't have sufficient leverage to loosen the factory bolts.
Replaced the factory bumper hitch with this receiver hitch on my 2018 Chevy Colorado. The instructions were easy to follow and actually did the removal and install by myself. Since that time I've pulled open trailers of yard debris and a 6x10 enclosed trailer and motor cycle through the NC mountains and to Sturgis and back without any issue. Solid, quality towing upgrade.
Just finished installing your hitch on my 2019 Colorado.
I should have had another set of hands but I was able to safely install with a couple of straps. Your product fits perfect.
Where how one person can safely install your etrailer hitch. Just tighten the straps and pull it up location.
I just installed this Draw-Tite trailer hitch on my 2017 Colorado and expect nothing short of flawless performance going forward. The design is solid and I really like the sleek design that leaves most of the hitch hidden from view. With a pending move to some property in Oregon, towing my dump trailer ought to be a breeze thanks for this hitch and the awesome product experts at etrailer.com.
Arrive in a damage box. Mounting brackets were exposed. Ends slightly damaged. Extra packaging material around brackets could have help. Every was straight and no issues installing.
Jenny N - 02/20/2022Great products and service all the way around . My Draw-tite hitch 76004 went on easy as did the Hopkins 7 and 4 pin wiring plug. Looks great and is in my opinion better than what the factory installed. I pot the 110% price match on the hitch too! Kudos to retailer !
High quality hitch. Installation went smooth with e-trailer's online video. I also purchased wiring kit for truck and I'm very happy with both. The installation videos are very helpful.
A brand new 2020 Colorado truck for one of my commercial customers required this hitch. The installation took about 45 minutes as all the hardware was new and not a problem to remove. The hitch has the spare tire bracket mounting welded to it in order to keep the factory one there making this better than other brands that had not done this.
Great service; great product. Received everything in 3 days to Southern California. About 3 hours total install time utilizing the EXCELLENT video showing how to splice to the factory GM harness. Very, very valuable. I could not recommend etrailer any higher. Many thanks!
BTW I prefer the DrawTite, because they retain the spare tire brace. Don’t like having parts left over.
Unit looks to be welded extremely well, love the final fit but watching the video directions was not the experience for the installer. I had my GMC dealership install and they (I've know the mechanic for 30 years) had to completely remove the rear bumper to get it correctly into place and then re-install the bumper so I am glad I did not tackle this at home.
David Y - 01/18/2022Product is quality hitch way better than OEM that was installed on my Colorado. Only problem was powder coating came off of edges. I will have to paint before install. Still would buy again etrailer service is awesome. Part went on sale after I purchased and etrailer fixed and gave me the better price. Have bought several parts from etrailer always fast shipment and quality parts that will last.
Ordered a trailer hitch, they said a week, and it came in 2 days. I wont order nowhere else.
Product was delivered ahead of schedule. Took the hitch to our local Chevrolet dealer and had the hitch installed with no problems. A great value for this product.
I over-study things for hours. I wasn't familiar with etrailer, but after reading Chevrolet Colorado forum threads related to best hitch for our trucks, a couple of the guys suggested to buy from etrailer. I went there, and was thoroughly impressed with the product pictures and detailed descriptions of each hitch, along with the obviously well-informed reviews attesting to positive experiences with both the products and the company. There were also good tips for install, and best accessories. This company has it together, from their website, order fulfillment and shipping, to follow-up after the sale. I buy online almost every three days, and these folks are among the best online retailers.
2017 Chevy Colorado Crew Cab
Easy to install, Fits perfect behind bumper. I would recommend using air-tools to install and supporting the rear bumper when installing is a must.
Hitch went on with no problems and fit perfectly. Big improvement over the stock hitch. Would definitely recommend.
John P - 12/07/2021The hitch fit perfectly and so did the power / light connector. Worked great for towing a U-Haul and my Harley.
Reviever is easy to install and fits perfectly on the 2019 Chevy Colorado. Significantly more robust than the stock version.
The hitch looks nice on my 2018 Chevrolet Colorado and I'm happy with the overall fit and finish. The "etrailer.com" and other stickers were not quite aligned with the frame of the hitch, but these are hidden behind the bumper so I'm not concerned. Install took under two hours for one person without a lift. The hardest part was removing the original bolts, which had some sort of thread locking compound from the factory. I completely removed the bumper rather than supporting with jackstands as this gave easier access to the bolts when installing the hitch. Note that you'll need to disconnect the wiring harness for the backup camera and license plate lights if you want to remove the bumper entirely.
Gregory W - 05/12/2020I need to haul a trailer occasionally, and I hate to pay a rental place or the dealership to install a hitch. I looked all over the internet, and etrailer.com had the best selection, comparable prices, fast shipping, and nice online video of how to install, so I ordered one.
It arrived when it was scheduled to, and I installed it all by myself.
It did take quite a bit longer than an hour as the instructions said, but lying on my back, it took about 2 hours total time from securing bumper, to showing my wife. It looks great, fit perfect, and will hold much more than I will ever tow.
I also ordered the electric plug for my bumper that accepts both round trailer connector plugs as well as flat. That installed great! I love it! So convenient.
All in all I am totally happy with my order, delivery, and quality of this new hitch receiver!!
David D - 02/16/2020What can I say? Trailer hitch, big piece of metal. But, it fit like a glove and was really impressed with the response time for order processing... they got right on it.
Another great trailer hitch from e trailer. Quality product with fast shipping and good prices...
