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.

Great Product--Easy to install
Very fast delivery, and product was as advertised.
delivered early, product in good shape (one minor scratch), fit like a glove.
I ordered the product during my night shift Monday night-Tuesday morning, and it arrived Thursday morning early. Wow!
the etrailer was relatively easy to install.. good design and took about 1 1/2 hours to install
the sportframe drawtite hitch assembly arrived in 2 days from ordering, is now installed, and the bikes are on! great service. The selection was perfect for my prius--the toyota dealer didn't have anything close. thanks
Product was perfectly formed, very well finished, and installed easily. Shipped promptly and was reasonably priced. Would recommend without qualification.
Installed and working! The installation video on YouTube was a big help. Be sure to have the proper tools and correct size sockets. I didn't have to jack up my Prius but that might have made it a bit easier to maneuver under the car.
very easy installationthe hitch was very easy to install, and has a solid feel.
Easy to install -- solid Great Just what I wanted Shipping was fast!!!
Fit perfectly, bolts right on. Didn't even jack up car to install. Biggest time consumption was cutting window in plastic under-pan. Doesn't receive the draw bar I have though. Cutting (shortening) the 1 1/4 solid steel bar is going to be a pain.
Wow, yes I read the reviews before I ordered and I can only confirm all positive feedback. Quick delivery and easy to install. If u can change a tire, u can install this hitch. Good luck prius owners!
Installation on the Prius was really easy, and this hitch is well built, and includes everything needed for the installation.
Simple to install and only needed a little tweeking to get it to fit. It "flexed" during shipping, and needed to be reflexed to its proper position. Nice and easy.
Installation could not have been easier--bolted right on in place of the tow hooks. One bit of advice would be to lay the plastic shield out in the sun before cutting. The warm plastic is easy to trim, as I discovered purely by accident.
Excellent hitch! Very well made and easy to install. Don't get lazy and not reinstall the plastic cover panel on the driver's side of your Prius! It is there for a good reason! If you pay close attention when you remove the panel it will make it much easier to reinstall.
A couple of hints:
1. Be careful when removing the two plastic rivets that attach to the bumper cover so that they can be reused.
2. Trim the tow hook slot about 1" to 1.5" forward of the hook in addition to the area indicated in the instructions.
It took me about an hour and a half total on the installation most of which was spent on the cover panel. Follow my suggestions above and you can do it in half that time
After ordering this trailer hitch for my Prius, eTrailer upgraded the delivery at no extra charge. After watching the installation video, it took less than ten minutes to remove the necessary parts from the Prius and another five minutes to install the trailer hitch. Perfect fit!
Assembling the bike rack was just as easy and in less than 45 minutes my wife and I were on the road with our bicycles. I would recommend both of these items to anyone.
Installed in about a half hour on my 2007 Prius. Remember to pop the center tab out on the 2 round plastic pins holding the plastic liner on before pulling them out. Also had to trim the front side of the slot in the liner an additional two inches to make things fit. Pulls my 4 x 8 utility trailer perfectly. I'm glad I got the one with the drawbar and pin. Very clean install.
Prius Class 1The Class 1 hitch (also known as a bike carrier attachment point) I installed on my Prius is a good example of craftsmanship. In a former life I inspected aircraft for a living. The welds were perfect - as they should be - the powder coat was uniform and baked to perfection, indicating that the hitch was cleaned properly before the paint medium was applied . The attachment points lined up perfectly and the included hardware was suited to the job. The hitch is appropriately designed for strength and to avoid other system conflicts. There was a ding in the paint caused by shipping, so to insure against premature rust I just hit it with a little Zinc chromate before installing.
I made the appropriate vehicle log entry and returned it to service.
I wish every purchase I made online was this easy and smooth. I purchased this hitch on Wed and it was sitting at my garage door on Fri afternoon. I watched the installation video on etrailer.com and was very impressed with how clear and easy to understand it was. I installed this hitch in about 45 minuets with no difficulty at all. I am very impressed and happy with the whole purchase and installation of this hitch. I have already started recommending etrailer.com to anybody that asks about it.
Unbelievable response time. I ordered this hitch receiver and a wiring harness for plugging into any trailer I would haul. I ordered late one evening. Next morning, I had an email stating they were in stock, packed, and ready to ship that morning. I received them in two days! WOW!! How unbelievable is that! Very responsive! After they were delivered, I received another email saying they seen they package had been dropped off, and don't hesitate to ask if I had questions.
I installed both on a 2008 Prius. Main purpose is bike hauler. Very easy to install after watching the online videos. Piece of cake!
I would not hesitate to buy from these folks again.....oh wait!....I already did....the bike hauler!
Keep up the good work etrailer. YOU'RE DOING IT RIGHT!!!
This thing is awesome on my 05 Prius. Bought it, in combination with the Drawtight cargo carrier and Rola bag, and I've effectively tripled my baggage space for road trips.
Installation was not difficult at all and pretty hard to mess up, this coming from someone who's not all that handy. Just have to be prepared to spend a bit of time under the car. Didn't have any of the hole allignment issues reported with some other brands.
Just what I was looking for to carry my bicycles on the Prius. Easy to install at home with a metric socket set and my car ramps I use to change my oil. The rack I bought also came with a hitch connection for my F150 pickup truck hitch. Hopfully the vechicles will last as long as these two products will.
We have a Prius and hauling my heavy ebike around, it always felt secure, if wobbly, which I guess is by design. The problem is actually getting it onto the hitch. It's heavy and awkward to manipulate. Once attached, everything is a smooth sail.
