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.
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.

Went right on easy install took about 35 minutes nice product perfect fit 492302
David - 04/03/2019Purchased the item from etrailer on 3/25/19 and it arrived on 3/29/19. The packaging and item were in perfect condition. Product was exactly are described, although a bit heavy, on the website. Was able to complete the install in under an hour in garage at home. Did not have to trim the exhaust heat shield so that saved a bit of time. No issues during the install and the videos provided on the etrailer website were awesome. Watch, pause, do, repeat until finished. Thanks for a great all round experience. This hitch will be used for a two bike rack so I don’t have to take my wife’s car anymore and move her seat. She gets angry. My 2018 Fiesta ST is black color so the hitch is not very noticeable at all. Etrailer is my go to spot for sure. You can’t go wrong. 615537
Andrew B - 03/31/2020I bought a Ford Fiesta ST as opposed to the Ford Focus ST, because I didn't think I could get a hitch receiver for the Focus, as it has center exhaust. Was talking about scheduling the car to get a hitch for the Fiesta and a friend of mine said we could do it. He looked for the right one, and found it very quickly. As he has a hoist, we did it at his place. It took us longer to figure out how to hoist up the car (it sits a little lower than normal) than it did for us to install the receiver. Great design and instructions. My only issue is that the exhaust pipe hits the receiver whenever I hit a bump. I don't think anything is getting damaged, but it does make some noise. I just haven't figured out what to do about it yet. Since this went so smoothly and I've used it several times with my bike rack, even long distances, I'm telling anyone that wants to get a receiver to order one, and we can install it ourselves! 856652
Great hitch..easy install I used it to mount my canoe loader 853910
Hitch was easy to install. Not sure I would remove piece of heat shield, per instruction, next time. We use it for a bike rack and it does well. 827643
The hitch works as designed. What was initially an issue, was that it clanged and banged against the exhaust when first installed. Had to have the exhaust hangers bent at a muffler shop. That fixed the issue. I still do occasionally hear clanks from it, which considering this is a hot hatch with tight suspension, it's gonna happen. The hitch itself has served its purpose just fine though. 814844
This hitch has been installed for over a year and it has regularly stood up to heavy use on a 2014 Fiesta ST (6-speed manual). On one occasion, a 700lb trailer was towed with 1,100lbs of flooring. That's 1,800 lbs! (Remember to never exceed the weight ratings on your vehicle or hitch.) No issues installing this product. I elected not to trim heat shields and only notice an occasional clunk. I used the Y-harness wiring kit from e-trailer to tie into the tail lights w/o cutting the wire. Works great! 809965
Fit well, followed instructions and had no issues. Ended up getting the drop muffler donuts as I spent a lot of time centering it based on exhaust and it still rattled a little. Not the hitches fault. 807491
hitch is awesome. there is NO, I repeat, NO need to cut the heat shield. It will fit over it and I recommend you keep it there. If you have the stock muffler, you have no worries. If you have an aftermarket muffler like I do (Borla) it WILL knock against the large plate in two places. You have three choices: 1. Do nothing and put up with klunking. 2. Use longer hangers (don't waste money on Cobbbbb's...same ones are elsewhere and less expensive) 3. Wrap the muffler where it knocks with a device of your choosing. (it is not even a 1/2" wide section where it makes contact. I did longer hangers, but do plan to wrap the section in a silicone matting and secure with stainless steel straps so I raise the muffler back up. It looks silly being too low. 807103
I received the trailer hitch the day after I ordered it. I am in their area but didn't expect it so quickly. The hitch is great and with the included instructions I was able to install it every easily and fast. Less than an hour installed. Very pleased with etrailer.com and ordered a second hitch for a different vehicle. Same results as the first one. A very happy customer. 790239
Hitch install and wiring was easy thanks to your great videos! For those wondering, the Fiesta tows a small trailer very nicely. 787472
I don't have a lift, but my local shop was able to install this hitch easily on our 2015 Fiesta SE. We use it to hold a hitch mounted, two bike rack, and have had no issues over about one year of use, including a cross-country road trip. I saw reports of a clunking sound from the exhaust hitting the rack once it's installed, but even without aftermarket bushings we haven't encountered this problem. 779183
As always.. the hitch receiver arrived in a timely manner and in perfect shape. I installed by myself in about 1 hour...Ford changed their rear muffler bracket on the 2017 Fiesta hatchback, so I had to do a bit of freelancing to the installation...all in all, a straightforward installation. 775250
I bought this product for my Fiesta ST. Installation was very easy and straight forward. If you just plan to put the car on jack stands to do the installation, two people make it easier but it's still not too hard with one. I'm not sure if the ST exhaust is different than the standard hatchback but be prepared to add bracing to the exhaust so that the muffler doesn't hit the hitch when hitting bumps as it was quite annoying before fixing it. Trimming the heat shield isn't necessary. I just needed to bend it back a little by hand. 762752
I purchased a hitch for my Ford Fiesta about a year ago from Noah. There was a minor mix up in the beginning and I was sent the wrong hitch. Mistakes happen- this is life and we are all human. I can give this company and Noah a huge 5 stars not only on the product but on their response to the mix up. They were quick to recognize it, and they got the right one out fast. Do not hesitate to order from etrailer...I knew their reputation as I am a repeat customer- mistakes like mine are rare but I want everyone out there to know if one does occur, etrailer is better than a lot of other companies on getting it resolved quickly with a clear speaking human on the other end of the phone. Way to go. As for the product itself, I couldn't be happier. I installed myself in a couple hours, which saved a bunch of money on labor, and there have been zero issues with it. It just works as it's supposed to. Period. Bottom line- etrailer is rock solid both in customer service and in what they sell. 762578
This was purchased to pull a motorcycle trailer. The hitch arrived super fast. I put this on my Ford Fiesta all by my lonesome, and it was a piece of cake. Perfect for my needs. 757451
Trailer hitch was easy to install and works excellent 729711
This is our third hitch from Etrailer and it is a perfect fit. The service at Etrailer was great, as usual. Highly recommended. 726887
Stuck this on a 2018 Fiesta SE hatchback for anyone reading these and wondering if it works. Just like everyone else says, the hitch goes on without much trouble. Like a lot of you guys also said, I didn't bother to trim up the exhaust heat shield at all. Four bolts and the hitch is installed. Included instructions said to torque things to 50 ft.lbs and away you go. Uses a 1/2" hitch pin if you are looking to buy the right one. 721223
It is a solid product, but they should make one change, and one I did very easily. They should allow you to use the muffler heat shield with out cutting it. By installing everything as instructed EXCEPT for cutting the heat shield, just install it back into its place by pushing it into shape to fit. It's thin as tin foil for God's sake, why cut it? Then, using the OEM hole in the heat shield use a marker to put a dot on the tow hitch where you will then drill a 1/4 hole. Then slide a small bolt through and secure the heat shield to the trailer hitch. There you have it, a heat shield that also protects the hitch with no cutting. 676922
This product works as described and was easy to install, it came with everything necessary. The only issue is I can't find enough excuses to use it! 674177
