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.

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.Hitch went on extremely easily. Took about an hour start to finish for my Chevy Cruze. The hitch itself is well built too and looks great. The only reason for four stars, the hitch arrived with several major scratches and paint chips with bare metal showing through. It doesn't affect the hitch integrity at all, but slightly disappointing to install a brand new hitch I expect will start rusting very quickly.
As other reviewers said, this hitch attaches with no difficulty. Perfect fit and was mounted in short time (maybe 15 minutes after I cleaned some road dirt out of the frame attachment bolt locations). As you might expect for a car that rides this low, the hitch receiver ends up pretty close to the ground, about 9 inches, (see photo). That makes my utility trailer ride a little low in the front, but quite usable. I tried not to use more hitch offset than was recommended.
Shipped ASAP on Sunday (impressive), came in 2-3 days, EASY INSTALL, I am not that handy but I was able to do this in ~15 minutes, no issues what so ever and will 100% recommend etrailer.com to friends and family
This is my 4th trailer hitch I’ve bought from etrailer and as always I am completely satisfied. Whether it’s been for a sedan, suv or truck the fit has always been perfect and the instructions exact and clear. And if you need more they have a lot of resources on the website. The only place to buy a hitch.
Really impressed with the entire purchase process; from the easy-to-use and informative website, to the quick delivery, and the simple install. Everything was a great experience.
I just installed my hitch after some months it was resting at home (I was abroad working),it was not more than 30min, did by myself only and I love the fit in my Cruze 2013, I installed on it a Kuat bike rack and love the way it looks and thanks it help avoid loading the bike dirty inside my car. Great support from etrailer and great products in the website, seeing to buy some extras soon, many thanks.
Well built, Very good business. Thx+++
This hitch was super easy to install and has worked great. I used it to tow my trailer behind my Cruze from Alaska to Arizona then Florida before ending in Ohio. It was around 8000 miles and worked flawlessly.
trailer hitch arrived in good shape. install went well. used it with a cargo carrier on a camping trip. going to have to get a 1 1/4" to 2" adapter with a 2 or 3 inch lift as carrier scraped a couple of times when backing up and the driveway had an incline. stands to reason as a chev cruze is a small car.
Ordered the hitch to fit my exact car . Hitch came in a few days as stated . Was as easy as the video demonstrated to install . Will definitely order from etrailer again.
Installed the Draw Tite 24882 on a 2011 Chevy Cruz Eco in about 30 minutes. I have had a Thule 2 bike carrier for 10 years. It fits into a small reciever hitch.This is the third car it's been on. Took the bike to the trails already. No problems. I would note that the Cruz Eco sits low. The front end will bottom out on steep ramps or inclines. I have to cross them slow and sometimes at a 45% angle. This hitch doesn't seem like it would bottom out but the bike carrier might since it sticks out a bit. I haven't had that problem but I may throw the carrier in the trunk if I need to go up or down a steep ramp or driveway.
Although I have not attached the bike rack yet, the hitch itself was very simply to install; I did it myself in the parking lot of my apartment complex. The videos on etrailer are extremely helpful with the installation process; without them I wouldn't have attempted to install it on my own. The printed directions that came with the hitch were, in my opinion, written for the Buick Verano because I did not have to lower my exhaust or cut the heat shield on my Chevy Cruze, which obviously made installing the hitch much easier and quicker. I would definitely recommend this hitch as well as a review of the installation videos available on etrailer.
Great, very good quality, as easy to install as possibly can be. Only 1 thing I see that would be an improvement would be, manufacturing needs to move safety chain loops or draw pin on the receiver 1- 2 inches forward/ back as it's difficult to hook the safety chains because the draw pin is directly above the safety chain loops.
Hitch hangs low to the ground line of the car. Depending on grade and what you install, it may rub on the ground. with a 4 bike kuat bike rack, the rack will touch of on the ground.
Exactly as expected, would recommend!
Great product, tucks in well under bumper, you can barely see it, easy installation on my 2014 chevrolet cruze RS and the product looks well made. Thanks Etrailer!
hitch arrived on schedule but had broken through the cardboard box. The unit was loose inside the box with no padding or anything else preventing it from sliding around in there. As a consequence quite a bit of paint was chipped off down to bare metal and I had to prime and paint those areas prior to mounting. Installation went exactly according to the instructions and took about 40 minutes, not counting the repainting.
Solid quality trailer hitch kit that was easy to install, even with just one person
Looks good the machan's that work on my car will do the install, everything looks like it is there the only thing that I am a little upset about is the electric wiring for wiring the car came out of its container and was all over the inter box, if I had to pack it I would but tape on the wiring container so it would not open and fall out all over, but thank you for everything and all your help.
Easy to install took about 15 minutes
Repeat customer. Super fast shipping. Quality product, easy to install. Product will be used by my daughter to carry her bike to college.
Great product. Easy to install.
very nice product well made
The hitch was just what I needed for my 2012 Chevy Cruze. It fit perfectly and was easy to install, even though I was a novice. It helped to have a second person to help with the install. The hitch had some scratches on it which I would have preferred to not have been there. However, as a whole I'm happy with the purchase as I can use it for a hitch bike rack.
Only complaint is, hitch not in stock,had to wait a month. Etrailer kept me informed. Hitch took less than half a hour to install.
