Draw-Tite Tested Tough
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.
etrailer.com Technical Support
At etrailer.com we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch.

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.by: Brady09/27/2023
This hitch works well for what it is; however, if I’m being picky, there are definitely some frustrating things about it.
I purchased this to use with a hitch mounted bike rack on a Nissan Altima. The hitch is actually so low profile that it is sticks too far up under the car. This make it to where my bike hitch can’t fold up while on the car; otherwise, it runs into the bumper on the back of the car.
I also find that the hitch hangs a little too low. The hitch scrapes all over the place. I’ve gotten used to it, so now I just know to take almost every incline at a diagonal. However, with the bike rack on the hitch, it will scrape on just about anything that isn’t flat ground.
The hitch works and is sturdy and hasn’t caused any issues, but I think it could have been designed a little better for practical uses.
by: Tyler 08/01/2023
Great product no major issues. Only minor issue is that it's a very tight fit for my 1 1/4in bike rack. Makes taking on and off a hassle so I leave it on all riding season and only take off during winter months.

2013 Nissan Altima
I bought the DrawTite for my son's Altima. I already had a Yakima bike rack for it. The install is not easy and I had a friend put it in as it does require the exhaust system to come off and drilling in the trunk. But once in it seems to be great. The Yakima fits in perfectly and the trunk even opens with it in the upright position, a real plus when traveling. Looking forward to many happy miles with it.

2011 Nissan Altima
1 year after purchase, I am mostly happy with this receiver. It was a pain to install, mainly due to the design of my 2011 Altima, but I knew that going in thanks to the instructions and videos on etrailer. My only hesitation to give it 5 stars is the surface rust inside the receiver tube. I'm not sure how, but it seems like they could figure out a way to make that look better for longer. However, the hitch has worked perfectly in the light towing (~600lb) I do.

Unfortunately, due to the metal on metal contact that the finish on the interior of the receiver tube experiences, theres really not much that could be done to prevent the finish from being abraded. A thin coat of grease on the shank of the ballmount or hitch mounted accessory will be the best bet to provide some protection.

Excellent service product. The packaging was first rate and arrived in days. The hitch went on just like in the video.
by: Angel N.07/09/2022
A++ product at great price and fast shipping, it's a one stop shop all you need in one box and with the video makes it easy to install on my 2015 nissan altima with the bolts thru the trunk and didn't even to remove the mufflers by sliding the hitch in one side and pushing up the other end while pulling the one muffler to one side I was able to install quicker and the plug and play wires makes it easy than trying to decode wires. Thank-you.

by: Milton05/28/2023
Good design for 20011 Maxima. Requires removing rear tailpipe to access screw mounting area. Does not utilize any existing body holes so requires some ingenuity for good placement.

2013 Nissan Altima
Service from etrailer and product quality are both great! Installed easily, a perfect fit on the car, very happy. My only issue is the damage that happened in shipping. The hitch had no padding or packing materials in the box to secure the hitch inside the box. As a result it slid freely inside the box punching holes through the cardboard and chipping paint off. These impacts also loosened the parts inside scratching up the bar as seen in my pictures near where I installed the trailer light plug. A little bubble wrap, wadded paper, or foam could have prevented the damage completely. The cardboard box was not dented, other then the holes punched from the inside out by the hitch parts as they slid and slammed into the sides of the box.

Often the hardware is taped inside the receiver tube. I will have our Customer Service team contact you in case it is not there.

2012 Nissan Altima
The hitch fit my 2012 Altima perfectly and was a breeze to install on my own. It works great with my bikerack.
The only issue I had was removing my muflers at the clamps which were rusted tight. I ended up taking the car to a shop to heat and remove them for me. I wasn’t able to heat them enough outside when it was windy and below freezing.

Installation was easy except for the bolts snapping off the muffler.
by: Greg08/03/2016
I am very happy with the products I ordered and installed on my vehicle. I installed the hitch with help from the online video. It took about 2 hours, I didnt have the use of a lift. The bike rack that I ordered worked perfectly with the hitch. I was also impressed with the customer service that etrailer.com provided when I was trying to make a decision on which product to purchase.
by: Hanna09/28/2023
I ordered the correct product and it doesn’t fit, Its costing me extra labor at the shop and they’re attaching it in a less secure place and having to drill it into the car. Circumstantially I do not have time to return this product but I am extremely dissatisfied.
by: Stewart 12/16/2022
2013 Nissan Altima
Super simple install process if you're at all mechanically inclined. I had it installed on my Altima in under 30 minutes, start to finish.
One word of advice: Help is not required, but strongly encouraged. The hardest part is marking the hole locations, and that is MUCH easier with a second person to hold the hitch up while you mark
Another suggestion: You're going to want an impact wrench. There isn't a lot of clearance to wrench the bolts down, and you want that as tight as you can get it for stability. I'm sure it's doable without, but you aren't going to have a great time

Are you able to provide any more details as so what was going wrong?
by: Mark 12/12/2022
Mounting was straight forward. Needed a little drilling, but well within anyone's skillset. Works as designed and advertised.
Would purchase again.
by: Xuan07/21/2019
This thing was a breeze to install. Me and my brother in law did the install in 30 minutes. It is now installed on my dad’s 2007 Altima and he is so excited to tow his boat with it (when it stops raining). Great product, easy installation and fast shipping. Thank you!
by: Robert05/19/2018
2017 Nissan Altima
Easy install. Took about an hour if you are mechanically inclined. A small floor jack is your best bet for the install. It will hold the rack in place while you mark the holes and install.
by: Mike W.10/25/2013
This is the third trailer hitch I have purchased from Etrailer.com. Each one has arrived in a very timely manner with no missing parts and nothing damaged. Prior to my purchases I have viewed the installation videos which were very helpful. The written installation instructions that accompanied each trailer hitch were complete and easy to understand. The wiring harnesses were a perfect match to each vehicle.

The hitch and wiring harness have worked without fault. I am quite happy with the product a year later.
by: Allan Thomas05/28/2013
The hitch worked grate. Now I can pull my ATV. The installation instruction seemed to be understandable. I had it all done with in an hour. Now I just need to hook up the trailer lights. Its to bad that there is no snap in wiring at the tell lights. The plugs are right there.

As you know, I put that hitch on my Altama small car...the hitch works really well. But the car hits bottom some times. The hitch has not been hurt yet. I pull my ATV with it...Lots of fun. So there you have it. Big Al :O

- Installation Of Draw-Tite Hitch, # 24796, On A Nissan And Is It Visible With Ball Mount RemovedThe Draw-Tite Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, # 24796, will fit a 2009 to 2010 Nissan Maxima and a 2007 to 2010 Nissan Altima Sedan. The hitch will mount below the rear bumper cover on both vehicles and the hitch will be noticeable without the ball mount attached. I am sending you video links of the hitch being installed on a 2009 Nissan Maxima and on a 2010 Nissan Altima. The videos will show you the rear of the vehicle after installation which will give you a good idea on how much of the hitch...
view full answer... - Solution for New Bike Rack that Seems Stuck in New Trailer HitchI had something similar happen with a cargo carrier recently. I installed it in the hitch and noticed it was difficult to slide in, but once it was in there it was not wanting to come out. I was able to fit myself between the rack and the vehicle and push hard while wiggling it back and forth and it came out. My next idea if that didn't work was attach a strap to the hitch of a different vehicle and have the other vehicle pull it out. Once I got it out I took a grinder and removed the powdercoat...

Especially Draw Tite and Hidden Hitch. They seem to release fits later than Curt and rarely if ever do they get it wrong. They are incredibly cautious about carrying over a hitch fit from the previous year.

view full answer... - Will the Draw-Tite for the 2013 Nissan Altima fit the 4 Cylinder Models AlsoI spoke to my contact at Draw-Tite and he said that the hitch # 24796 can be used on the 2013 Nissan Altima 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder as long as it is a sedan. However, if your owners manual says that the 4-cylinder models should not have hitches installed on them then you should go with their recommendation so as not to void your warranty.

In general I recommend Draw Tite hitches over Curt hitches on Class I vehicles as they don't require a stabilizer strap like the Curt hitches do when you carry a bike rack or cargo carrier. For your 2013 Optima you would want the part # 24965 which I attached an install video for. Then for...

The other available hitches share the same capacity but this one is a good cost-effective choice. The information you provided on the Cansporter (thank you) indicates that it is designed for 2-inches hitches, so for you to use it in a 1-1/4-inch hitch you'd need an adapter like # HTAD which converts your hitch to a 2-inch receiver opening.
