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.

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.
Mike L - 06/21/2018Service 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.
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.
the hitch itself was easy to install. the wiring not so much. needed a better video on how to install the wiring. also it wasn't long enough and we had to purchase more from a local auto parts store.
however, all in all i would definitely recommend the hitch!
karen - 04/29/2021I 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.
Dan O - 06/19/2017After every trailer hitch dealer told me there’s not a hitch for a 2009 Infiniti M35, I bought this hitch for the ‘09 Nissan Maxima; and my mechanic installed it. It fits like a glove and is a first rate hitch.
Thomasbowie - 09/08/2021I 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.
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.
Mike W - 10/25/2014I can't say enough about their service. My mechanic tried his supplier for 2 weeks to get my hitch without success. I called etrailer on a Saturday and had the hitch on Tuesday, with free shipping. The price was great and the entire transaction was fantastic!
Great, easy install.
Found a lower price on [online vendor] and they price matched right away. Ordered on a Thursday and the shipment was home on Thursday! Lot of follow up from their CSR along the way - didn’t know a simple etrailer order will make me feel like a princess :-) ! White glove delivery - extremely satisfied A+++
I wanted to be able to tow a light trailer and this hitch receiver is just perfect for that. It's sturdy and reliable. The instructions for installing were right on. the only surprise was that I needed to borrow a pipe expander for putting the mufflers back on, but it all went very well. I'm very happy with it.
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.
Fast shipping. Quality hitch. Im glad I went with etrailer and saved money. I need a hitch for my other car so I will definitely be getting it from etrailer
The hitch was received quickly, and near perfect condition ( a bit of paint is scraped off of sharp corners). The boxes have a hard time containing a hitch, and small holes are created from handling, then paint is worn off of the portion that protrudes. A bit of touch-up & It looks very nice. Install was no problem, probably about 40 minutes total. Looks very proper .
Ben A - 12/14/2017This 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!
I received the item that I ordered, watched the installation video and installed it on my vehicle. The application was easy and it took about an hour because I don’t have a lift. Still putting my car on ramps made it easy to work with and it looks great. I would recommend this product to anyone. Thanks again for a great product and it looks great on my car and it’s hardly noticeable. Works great for a bike rack.
I ordered the trailer hitch for a Nissan Maxima. I use it to haul my bike rack. I had it installed at a local
shop and it works perfectly.
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.
