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.
Features:
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. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers. The one-on-one, personal service you'll receive comes straight from an expert in the towing and automotive field. We've installed it, we've wired it and we've towed with it, so whatever your question, we can answer it.

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.Installed on a 2005 Bonneville GXP. Car has dual exhaust out the rear. Had to lower both mufflers and also release the center exhaust pipe hanger to get enough room to swing the mufflers to the side to be able to drill the 2 additional holes. Install went very easy and I did it with the rear of the car on ramps by myself in about 90 minutes. Watch the video a couple of times to avoid my mistake of installing the new rear muffler hangers upside down which was an easy fix (pipes were hanging too low). Once I swung the brackets around so the ears were facing up towards the trunk floor, the pipes were back in their original position (which was in the video) and the job was done. Don't forget to get the wire spring to feed the bolt and backer bracket into the frame rail. These worked like a charm. Plan on towing a small trailer (5x8) with the car since my last car (93 Bonneville) was clobbered while parked and I needed another car to tow with and the car didn't have a hitch on it when I bought it.
Purchased the hitch assembly for an 05 Pontiac Bonneville GXP...... shipped same day as ordered (or next day, but very quickly) and arrived 2nd day. The day it arrives, I get a message from etrailer telling me that it arrived AND "here are some helpful install videos that might help". The videos were exactly what I ordered on a similar car. They gave me hints on how to make the install easy (how to lower the mufflers and support while installing) and demonstrated the benefit of the Fish Wire (a $x life saver). Applied to my installation in every way. Everything went just as they demonstrated. Install was easy because I knew what to expect (thanks to the videos). Very satisfied. Good quality product, easy to order, EXCELLENT support. thank you !

Hitch works as it should. Install it and use. However it took two tries. Manuf issue from Draw Tite, the receiver was turned slightly when welded onto the cross frame. Not noticeable when installing a simple draw bar, but when installing a 3 ft tall bike rack, it was clearly off. Measured at 3 from vertical. Took a few calls and approval from Draw Tite to send a replacement, but all done with minimal additional pain. these guys definitely stand behind their products ! Will continue to buy from etrailer and recommend others do the same.
The delivery was super fast. The installation was easy. I am very happy with the appearance. This is my third Hidden Hitch so I knew the hitch but the guest time I've used this company. The company was great to work with. I had one little glitch but that was my error. I superimposed two numbers on my zip code and so the Debit card was declined. They contacted me immediately and do the problem was quickly resolved. I most definitely recommend this company and Hidden Hitch. Oh, this Hitch was for a Buick, so appearance was of upmost importance.

Thank you for your business, review, and brand loyalty, Jerry,! Hidden Hitch has now been replaced with Draw-Tite, and is the exact same hitch.
Great to work with.
I called etrailer to make sure I was getting the right hitch. It was sent out the same day and got it on day 2. The installation was a piece of cake. There installation videos are a big help. I knew just what to expect with no surprises.
I also ordered the 1/2" Bolt Leader used to fishwire bolts through the frame of vehicles. one nifty tool for only 95 cents. I would definitely buy from them again. Highly recommended.
The trailer hitch for my 2009 Lucerne fit perfectly. The installation instructions were clear and easy to follow. The installation went smoothly with no surprises. I am ecstatic that it went so well. I would surely come back to etrailer for any trailer needs. Thanks!!!
This product came to us fast, and it was actually the correct hitch for our 2009 Buick CX! After two Part Store orders coming in that were incorrect, plus our own attempt to order the hitch through a popular website, which also was incorrect, we searched the internet and found etrailer. We found the hitch, and the etrailer website determined it was the correct trailer hitch (via a green ! ). We were right to be excited and wow!!, it is fun!! to receive the correct trailer hitch!!!! Thank you etrailer!
Review of Item 36309
- eTrailer: Excellent
- Draw-Tite Hitch: Excellent
- Instructions: Good to very good: there was some sort of
electronic box (anti-lock controller?) blocking one of the frame
rail access holes. I had to make my own. But, got it done.
One suggestion: eTrailer should throw-in a bolt leader/fish wire at no extra cost as I didn't realize I needed one and struggled without it.
I got a hitch for my 2007 Buick it installed quick and easy. I also ordered the wiring kit too. All parts came very quickly neatly packed with no damage to anything. The hitch installed just like the installation video showed. Very simple to do. The wiring harness also installed very easily. I'd like to thank, Brad E., George J., and Katie H., for a great on-line shopping experiance.
I won't be able to put the hitch on for a few days, but this review covers 3 basic things. First, the acknowledgement via email that the hitch was being shipped came quickly. Second, the hitch arrived within a couple or 3 days of the acknowledgement. Third, the hitch is pretty robust. I am impressed with all three of these things. The order was completed and arrived in a quick and efficient manner, no hassles. And the quality of the hitch is great! 5 stars!
I was surprised at how well this hitch went onto my car. The only real tricky part was fishing the bolts into the frame. Other than that, it went great. I can't say enough at how helpful the service department was at etrailer. Carol was great!! Plus the YouTube videos really helped. Etrailer will be my first place to look for any future towing needs.
I ordered this hitch on a Wednesday, it shipped that same day and arrived at my door on Friday. Unbelievable fast service. The installation instructions were very detailed and easy to follow. The installation of the hitch was a snap.
Shipped quickly, installed easily. . . and as indicated by installation video.
5 stars for eTrailer.
Just arrived. Took hitch out of box. Looking good. As soon as the weather gets more pleasing to the body. I will be installing it..
I see no problems in installing it. Installing a hitch isn't rocket science..
Service was great.
Great quality trailer hitch. Pretty easy to install. Very dependable. Does its job very well. Very impressed
I couldn't believe how quickly my order was shipped; less than 2 days! The hitch fit perfectly & the instructions were very good. Draw-Tite's website installation video was very helpful, as well.

Good. Easy to put on and looks good on the car.
The fit and finish of this product is outstanding! I would be interested, though, in watching someone do this install in the recommended allotment of time. It took me quite a bit longer!
Just what we were looking for to assist our light tow need, and it arrived very quickly.
The tutorial video is very informative and helpful.
How refreshing to speak to a real person and not a scam like other online sites we have experienced.
Everything I needed, mechanic installed it in about an hour.
Works like should and was easy to insta ll!
Great
