Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4"

Draw Tite makes a good product which looked to have much cleaner welds than the cheapest hitch offered by etrailer, for only a few dollars more. The 2007 Honda Fit has a sub assembly under the hatch which Draw Tite utilized for the mounting of their hitch, which made it particularly fast and easy to install-it took me less than 30 minutes, and I didn't need to jack the car up to do so. Last week I had occasion to haul a 500# loaded trailer with my new hitch 120 miles, including over a mountain pass. The hitch performed flawlessly. I can recommend the Draw Tite hitch for the 2007 Honda Fit. 154502

Works great I installed this on my 2008 Honda Fit. No complaints. It works great. I use it for a bike rack and also a small boat trailer (about 1000 lbs). Though the drawbar that etrailer.com recommends (#3593) does not have enough rise for my trailer. So don't just blindly order this drawbar. Instead, follow etrailer's directions for choosing the correct drawbar: http://www.etrailer.com/faq-ballmount.aspx (The Honda Fit hitch height is 11"). 2208

I received this just yesterday, after getting my shipment in fewer days than expected! BACKGROUND: I just installed it onto my 2007 Honda Fit Sport for the sole purpose of using a hitch bike rack. The small spoiler on the Sport's roof inhibits using a trunk-mount rack with straps and a roof rack for that model for two bikes is just not a cost-effective solution for a 5-year old car. INSTALL: The instructions were extremely simple to follow and I will be testing it out with the new rack soon. I greatly appreciated the sizing of the sockets that one needs to do the job listed on the instructions. It might also be noted that you should have a torque wrench or ratchet to tighten all nuts/bolts to specifications. As one other suggested, I used the box it came in for lifting it to the right height when installing and that worked great once the skid plate was removed. I was able to install the hitch without raising the car off the ground. Be sure to mark "front" on the skid plate visibly. My install took about 30 minutes from start to finish. Read the instructions, lay out your tools, and have a look at the underside of your vehicle first and you'll be great. AESTHETICS: The clearance on the hitch is very good. It does not protrude further down than the skid plate, which is good; it should not drag if you go over a high bump. If you happen to bottom out, it may drag some, but honestly, it's better than your bumper hitting. It does not sick out from the bumper, which means no hitting your leg on it. I ordered a rubber cap to go in the end when the bike rack is not attached, which will keep moisture out as well as helps the look. If anyone notices, they'll simply think that it's a nice custom feature. All in all, it was easy and fun project to do, and I'll soon be able to take my bike without using the precious cargo space in my vehicle. 51907

2007 Honda Fit

This was really the only way I found to be able to have a bike rack (which I also purchased here) on my 2007 Honda Fit. I wasn't really interested in installing it myself (and the etrailer folks were wonderful in offering to help, but I wasn't near their location), so I took it to the Honda dealer and they were able to install it easily. It's worked great. It's not really noticeable but it's there when I need it. Exactly what I wanted. 441626

We had it really easy and had a lift in our garage to get the Honda Fit up off the ground and above us. The installation with air tools took MAYBE 20 minutes and is extremely easy. Hitch looks nice and hidden and I am very happy with the fit and finish. Would buy again. 84223

Yes, he installed the hitch on this page. The Draw-Tite Class I, part 24776, custom built for the 2007-2008 Honda Fit.

-- Patrick B - 6/18/2013

Fits my 2008 Fit perfectly. I am using this specifically for a bike rack. I didn't want one of the strap on bike racks since they can potentially damage the paint, and are a pain to remove when not in use. I bought this with bike rack #63120 also from this site. Instructions are easy to follow. The only thing I would add is that I backed my car up on ramps, and used 2 jack stands to hold the hitch in place while I bolted it down. The construction of this hitch seems very solid. It is rated for 2000 lb, but keep in mind the maximum load for the Honda Fit is 850 lbs. 2801

This transaction was seamless from start-to-finish. Online ordering was a snap, just take your time and insure you are getting the right thing for your EXACT model. The order confirmation and shipping notice were emailed right on time with the tracking link, which worked perfectly. Packaging was great, with the box with hand-holes for easy carrying. Contents were 100 percent. Installing the hitch itself was a piece of cake. There was only one problem as the Tool List called for an 11/16ths wrench and it should have been NINE SIXTEENTHS. The only thing I needed was an empty 1-gallon paint can to support the front of the hitch while I got the U-Bolt in place. Once that was done it was a simple matter to finish the job. So all around a very positive thing.. Now if the Wiring Harness that I bought is as easy as the hitch…… Here's a photo of the finished installation under our 2008 Honda Fit Sport. 187578

Right From the start, I'd like to say I am very pleased with my hitch and the purchasing experience. The site is easy to navigate and has absolutely everything. My hitch, Curt T-connector harness, and accessories were well packaged and arrived promptly. The install was super simple and fast. The actual hitch assembly is well built, fit cleanly, and included well written instructions and high quality hardware. It attached to easy to access mounting points used by the factory skid/bash plate. The harness was plug-n-play and only required the removal of two philips head screwes and popping some trim clips. I did not have to remove the two large interior panels on either side of the hatch. I simply loosened them enough to pass the harness behind and popped the panels immediately back down. I finished plugging the connections through the lightbulb replacement access panels. I am using this hitch with my 2007 Honda Fit sport to tow a small trailer holding tires, tools, and spare parts to track events. I chose this hitch because it was slightly lighter than some others. It added 16lbs Including hardware. That's not light; but, the mass is low and to the rear of an already front heavy vehicle. I also choose not to reinstall the factory bash/skid plate. The hitch hangs just as low as it did and is much stronger. I saw no reason to add another 5lbs back on. This hitch does cover and mount to your factory rear tow-hook that's sometimes used to jack up the rear of the car. However, I do not see this as an issue, again because the hitch is well built and well attached through three chassis points. The safety chain hoops are easy for a tow-truck to attach too and the large mounting footprint makes me trust this hitch for lifting or pulling more than I did the factory location.

I've always just thrown my bike into the back of my 2007 Honda Fit, but I recently got a bike trailer for my dog (rookie mistake, it doesn't fold down so it takes up a lot of space) and plan on doing some weekend bike camping trips so there just wasn't enough room for my bike. The solution for me was to finally get a bike rack, which meant getting a hitch. This hitch was fairly easy to install albeit intimidating. I purchased a beam torque wrench at Sears and watched a YouTube video on how to use it. I did what other reviewers suggested and used the box the hitch came in to hold it in place while I bolted it in. Worked Perfectly! Was able to do it without raising the car...however it did make seeing the dial on the torque wrench a little challenging. Using deep socket attachments would probably have made it a little less challenging too. It took less than an hour...and is literally so simple to install. Assembling Ikea furniture is more challenging. 271008

Worked perfectly, have had zero problem s. 573341

etrailer was very efficient at fulfilling my order, shipping expediently and providing useful information such as installation videos on my own model of car. Prices were very low also. One stop shopping! I would recommend them for self install hitches. It took me only about a half an hour to install. The DrawTite fits perfectly on my 2007 Honda Fit Sport. Very satisfied! 583394

We'll install it this afternoon - but it looks great. Arrived on the day it was promised! Great service. 552105

This is the best hitch reciever for the Honda Fit. Easy installation and tows my trailer like a boss. A side note, the bolts I received for this hitch was stripped and called customer service. They asked me for my infomation and sent the bolts in less than a couple of days. Thank you!! 529873

Heavy duty, don't no about installing instruction look well laid out. 527837

Product was exactly as advertised, which is good. Simple installation: remove 3 bolts and the existing skidplate and re-use the same holes to install the hitch receiver. Took 15 minutes with a lift. Would've taken longer if the old bolts were frozen, but they weren't. Solid product. 516715

2008 Honda Fit

The hitch has been working perfectly since installed a year ago. Handles two FJs (sailing dinghies) on their trailer no problem. When removing the bolts on the factory installed skid plate make sure you apply even force. I used a torque wrench and ended up snapping one. Putting the car on a jack and using an impact driver would be best. After that, the install was simple. Directions were easy to follow. 441318

Everything about this went great. Website easy to use. Order shipped and was received promptly. I installed the hitch this afternoon. It is built like a tank, fit and finish are excellent as well. I got this hitch to install a 1UP bike rack. It fit perfectly solid. Great price too. What more could I ask for! 426548

I Installed this and an electrical kit in under 30 minutes on a 2008 Honda Fit Sport. with two tools. That is amazing. I needed this quickly I was leaving on a trip in 6 days, and I ordered it on a Sunday and received it on a Wednesday. My wife and I have a small teardrop camper we haul with our car now, and had no problems whatsoever with this product. 396945

Fits my 2008 Honda Fit BASE MODEL without any issue. The directions were extremely easy to follow. And I have next to no mechanical experience on cars. 378991

Volvo Cross Country

We've been using this hitch on our Honda Fit for the last year, and it's worked great for holding our road bike rack. We've made several cross country trips with our bikes since we bought it. It was very easy to install with just basic tools. 356084

This was one of the easiest installations I have done. Everything was easy to assemble and I believe it is very strong. 355864

So far so good! Installed solely for purpose of using a bike rack. Hauled a road bike immediately after installation with no issues and very convenient. I won't miss taking my front wheel off to put the bike into the car. Installed in under 45 minutes by myself. Could have used another set of hands but I made do. 346935

Not going to tow my 10,000lb boat, but it fit well & served its purpose (attaching a bike rack). Been on a yr, and hasn't caused me any problems w/ ground clearance bruised shins. 335331

This hitch was ridiculously easy to install. in twenty minutes I was good to go. I immediately put it to use, and it works well. 307071

E-trailer has excellent customer service! We ordered several pieces to install a trailer hitch on my Honda Fit and accidentally ordered an incompatible piece. Karla from Etrailer called me the following day to notify me of the incompatibility of the parts and suggested the correct one. Hitch is now installed and works perfectly! 285251

Very easy to install. Instructions were clear and videos in website help even more. Solid construction. 281999

Super fast delivery. Really easy installation and perfect fit. Done in less than an hour. I'll recommend this website to everyone. 278824

Delivered as promised. My only issue was removing one stubborn rusted bolt from the skid shield. Other than that, install was a breeze. Ordered for hitch mount bike rack. So far so good. 276888

A good hitch with no issues after a year. However, note that hitch mounts on small cars will require some adjustment. Weight and size of two standard mountain bikes will reduce already low ground clearance on my Honda Fit. Distance from bike tire to the pavement is less than 9 when loaded depending on what else I need to bring on a short trip.

David M - 07/27/2017

Installed last night in under 30 minutes with the help of a friend. Fits perfectly. Construction appears sturdy and reliable. Have not actually towed anything yet. 266685

Hitch arrived in 2 days. Fit car perfectly. Easy to install without even having to jack the car up. Took about 30 minutes. 260699

The hitch fit perfectly and thewiring worked as specified. 257784

I installed it over the week in took about 30 min just what I was looking for. 239913

Great price. Fast delivery. Perfect fit. 234153

Have not tried mounting on car yet. Looks good. Have used Draw-Tite hitches before. I've never had a problem, and don't anticipate any problems with this one. 233363

Very friendly and knowledgeable ,very fast shipping , thank you 231155

Great product Easy installation 201703

The only reason I gave a "good" review is because I haven't actually towed or hitched anything yet. I will say that the installation was a snap and it was as easy as all of the other previous reviewers claimed. 178485

Great product 173203

The product is great. I haven't road tested it yet. Looking forward to having more room in my Honda Fit when camping and traveling. I had my mechanic install the unit and he said it went smoothly. 171772

Solid high quality product that was very easy to install. like another reviewer mentioned -- no need to jack up the Fit & use the box to rest the back of the hitch when initially connecting the front of it. I already have gone a few hundred miles with it being attached to a Saris bike rack w/2 bikes & it's rock solid. Etrailer was extremely helpful & the unit came ahead of schedule in perfect condition. I will be buying all my future trailer needs from Etrailer. 145668

Very happy; was easy to install and fit perfectly. Just because I am a total perfectionist: One conical grip washer was missing from the package; no, I didn't loose it. The directions did not explain that the big clunky part was the skid plate, which was already on my car, which I had to take off and then but back on; had me scratching my head for 5 min.s; and the u-bolt didn't align perfectly with the holes in the hitch; I had to figure out a way to bend it just a tad without destroying the threads; got it done. The U bolt is also a bit longer than it needs to be. BUT I am 100% happy. 132409

Looks great, installed with zero trouble. Very high quality. I wish all product installed this easy. 132195

Got it fast, instructions were good, installation was easy and quality is very good. 117305

5 Stars for etrailer. They shipped it promptly and it could not have bolted on any easier 20 minutes. One bolt was too long so I bought another one (hardened) so that it could be tightened without running into the frame. There was a burr at the back of the inside of the receiver that prevented my hitch from going all the way in. I had to spend about 20 minutes with a file to fix this. 106699

received my order promptly. fit perfect! well made quality. 101187

My order was shipped faster then I thought and I had it in about 3 days. It was packed well and my order was complete. The instructions and online videos made the installation easy. I installed it in my driveway with no lift and had no trouble with the hitch only taking about 30 mins and the wire harness another 30 mins. I had no special tools or skills except a torque wrench that I borrowed. 92012
