Fully welded Chevrolet Traverse 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.

Ok I am 69 and my wife is 68. 2 hours to install with one hiccup. When you install the bolts and nuts over the muffler (and it's tight for your hands) before you tighten them and top out side nuts put in your bolts for muffler hanger. Tighten ones over muffler then top nuts. Then take out the muffler hanger bolts and then install the hanger. We tighten the 4 top nuts and ones above muffler then our muffler hanger bolts wouldn't go in on one side. All went well and looks great. I have installed trailer hitch's before but this one had a lot of bodywork to take apart. It was easy. Box showed up with holes in it but everything was packed well. The extra parts ordered was in smaller box inside. Well done Etrailer. And shipping was fast. We have had problems before with orders but not this time.
The Hitch and 7pin/4pin outlet were great. The hitch was recessed to allow the bumper cover to hide when not in use and it came with a plate attached that allowed the outlet to be installed on it. The 7pin/4pin outlet is a great idea allowing for either connection without an adaptor. I did have to reverse the bracket by drilling new holes to allow it to sit behind the cover. The only catch for me was they don't sell a separate wiring harness to go from the round 7 pin to the rectangle Buick Enclave plug. Had to buy another 7pin outlet that came with the correct wiring to use. The installation was straight forward. Watch the videos before hand and all will be good.
I just received the trailer hitch today, and plan on installing tomorrow.
The ordering process could not have been any easier.
LaKysha was very helpful and professional. She said the hitch would arrive the following Tuesday, but it was delivered Saturday, three days ahead of schedule…..awesome.
Would definitely suggest ETrailer to anyone in the market for a hitch.
Will send comments after the installation process….looks pretty straightforward.
Installed it on a 2022 Buick Enclave. Very well-made hitch that fit like a glove. The directions could have been clearer but worked nicely with the on-line videos of the install. No complaints whatsoever.
Order my trailer hitch and received it in 3 days.
Instructions where complete. But I was not sure where some of the screws where located on the vehicle, so I Went to YouTube. This guy said that the hitch need some drilling to open up one of the predrilled hole. I was a little hastened be cause of that but it went on whit out a problem. Great deal I would highly recommend it to my friends. By my photo I should of purchased the bracket that holds my 7pin trailer wireing.

Great.
Other reviewers have noted how the holes don’t line up, and ours was no exception. Unfortunately my dremel was broken, and instead of replacing it (which was the smart thing to do), I spent 3 hours filing most of the holes to make this fit. Why on earth they didn’t match the hole sizes and location to those on the bumper that I removed is beyond me.
If not for that this job would have taken about an hour and saved $350 over the factory install. There’s a helpful YouTube video out there (the guy had to do the same thing to make the bumper fit). I’d still buy this from etrailer- great prices and customer service. This DrawTite hitch is just poorly designed in terms of lining the holes up.

Hitch mounting holes not aligning, unfortunately does happen. I am very happy that you were able to get this to work for you, but I have included one of our help articles for additional reference.

This receiver was installed on a 2021 Chevrolet Traverse.
Great communication from the staff on order status and estimated delivery. Product box came a bit banged up but that’s from the shipping company and let’s be honest, it’s a receiver that’s going to be covered up anyways. Paper instructions weren’t very specific but the video was the real game changer. It provided some good insight on how to remove the rear bumper which was my main concern. I did have to modify some mounting holes on the receiver itself by using a grinder bit and making the holes a bit larger so the bolts would line up properly. All in all it was a pretty straight forward install and I didn’t have any major issues. I will be recommending this product and site to others.
Fit the existing framework. Pretty easy to install. Looks durable and well-made.
I needed a family hauler/commuter vehicle because my dang kids are 6 feet tall now! Traded in my CTS (very hard to do, have a candle light vigil planned) for a Buick Enclave (Awesome second row leg room!) and decided I NEEDED to be able to put our bike carrier on it. Checked around at the local trailer hitch shops = $500+. Checked online and I figured I could do it myself. I like to work on cars. It will be FUN!
Placed the order, 3 days later get the email that today is the day, then UPS sends me an apology email that they mistakenly sent my package to Detroit. UPS delivers the next day and the box looked like it had been through Hell, or, you know, Detroit (I'm from Detroit, so I can say these things; you can not say these things; Detroit is AWESOME!). I immediately opened the box to see what was missing from the basketball sized whole in the end, and, to my dismay, NOTHING seemed to be missing. The order was packaged so well, that nothing was damaged or missing, despite UPS's best efforts! There wasn't even a scratch! The hardware was packaged and shrink wrapped to the hitch. I was about to have some FUN!
The installation was pretty uneventful, which is probably what you want! The hardest part was worrying. Cracking open a brand new car and "hanging" the exhaust is a bit nerve wracking, but I got through it, and so will you! Just take your time. Speaking of, I think the directions (yes, I read them) said it could be done in 90 minutes. It took me like 3.5 hours, mostly because I had to form a search party for my tools! Don't ask! Also, my darn cat WOULD. NOT. LEAVE. ME. ALONE! Apparently, she likes to work on cars, too! Also, the video installation tutorial was spot on! Watch it! It could save you some grief!
I am very satisfied with the hitch and the instructions for installation. I had been somewhat concerned, tearing into the project, a) It was on a new vehicle, b) had not torn into the bumper covering before to install a hitch. The step by step instructions & video removed these fears.
I am not sure why some reviewers put that the hitch didn’t align correctly when mines align perfectly. The only reason I am given it 4 out of 5 stars is because I believe he instructions online were for a 2018 Chevrolet Traverse LS because I have the LT and their are some T20 screws hidden inside the bumper. Near where the top of the paint and bumper meet. One is horizontal and the other vertical. Also my bumper does not come off that easy it had three white clips holding on to it that I had to take off. Other than that the hitch is perfect and the service with strainer is nothing but perfection. I order my hitch bike rack and hitch anti rattle lock from them.
Good quality and easy to install. Fit perfectly on my 2021 Buick Enclave.
This company has the best website and customer service I’ve experienced on the net. Follow up emails and instructional videos provided by etrailer were excellent. The hitch went on exactly as shown. I’ve recommended them to friends.
Added hitch receiver to my 2019 Traverse so I could use a hitch mounted bike carrier. The installation instructions and video made it very easy to install. Use caution when removing the Rear Fascia so as not to break the clip holes.
Very happy with this hitch.
The fit on the driver’s side was perfect, but the holes on the passenger side were all off approximately 3/16” vertically. This necessitated grinding them for a proper fit. All in all I was quite pleased with the overall installation. I watched your you tube video of the installation so I knew exactly what to expect. I am 70 years old and I performed the entire installation alone in 2 hours start to finish, modifications included. I was also quite pleased with the timely delivery of my order. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend etrailer to my friends.
Great product everything lined right up. Had everything installed in about a hour and fifteen minutes by myself. Not difficult just time consuming. Watch the short video sent with the email from Etrailer and it will make more since than the pdf. Highly recommend seller as they sent multiple emails offering support if you had any questions.
Instructions were easy to follow and everything went smoothly.
Delivered fast. Online videos are excellent.
A little intimidating to take the back bumper off but with some basic tools and the online videos this went really smooth.
Easy to install
Delivered and fit well!
2019 Buick E nclave
Great price, fast/free shipping and perfect fit. Detailed instructions and step by step video from etrailer made the installation smooth and professional.

Great instructions on how to install. All around great experience dealing with etrailer.
