Specs:
Specifically designed for a serious towing machine, this rugged trailer hitch receiver features the strong, durable construction that your heavy-duty applications require. The secure side-bracket design and all-frame attachment system ensure maximum stability. The cast center section lets you pile on the tongue weight without any worries. And the reinforced pin hole and large safety-chain loops better accommodate your heavy-duty towing needs.
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.

Ideal for heavy-duty towing, this vehicle trailer hitch has a cast steel center that is designed to handle hefty tongue weights. Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this durable, corrosion-resistant hitch exceeds industry standards.My trailer hitch came very beat up with lots of scrapes and missing paint and rust. It had mud all over one corner leading me to believe it had been opened and damaged and returned possibly.
Love the hitch. Very easy to switch from the old rusty to this new stud. Very strongly built.....love the fit. Total faith in this product. Thanks e-Trailer. Hard to believe 6 bolts can do it. I cut lots of wood, heavy hauls w/ my Silverado HD Duramax....I have a hitch that is as strong as my truck now.
The original Chevrolet factory trailer hitch rusted out. I replaced it with the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Hitch. This hitch is a beast! It was a much heavier duty hitch than the original. It was easy to install although it would have been easier with two people because it was heavy. I would recommend this hitch to anyone.
Nice quality hitch. Thick powder coat, beefy frame members. Took 15 minutes to install with an extra set of hands, (highly recommended as it is heavy). Instructions were a bit hard to make out as they were very faded in some areas. I found them online though and they are very straightforward and easy to follow. Highly recommend this hitch for your '01-'10 2500/3500 GM truck!
Great hitch, definately heavy duty. Great upgrade compared to factory GM reciever.
Replaced the rusty hitch on my 2004 Chevy truck. This is a great hitch much beefier and better than stock hitch. Ordering from etrailer is easy, Hitch was priced right and delivery was fast. Very happy with this purchase.
Very easy to install! Video of installation was easy to follow! Only thing it's mount the plug for the trailer lights!!!
I have been doing business with E-trailer for several years now and I have never been let down on their service or their products.
Installation went okay with some help from my 2 sons. Etrailer was great with the shipping fast and easy.
The instructions weren't very clear even at printing them out larger on a different piece of paper. The instructions came wet and mildewy from the factory that is not on etrailer.. etrailer actually had the instructions on their website to download.
Product is very well built, impressed with the quality of the hitch, much beefer than the stock hitch. Shipping container was pretty much trashed but everything was there. The diagram in the instructions were kind of faded and difficult to read, took us (two) 3 hrs to install with air tools. So far very satisfied, haven’t tow with it yet. Taking a trip in October 2018. We will see!
Nice hitch, great price, free shipping.
This trailer hitch arrived a day earlier than expected -- Great! Heavy-duty double thick, (or triple thick?), cardboard package was ripped in the two corners where the two tails are. Delivery driver pointed out the torn places and allowed me to do a cursory inspection (without opening the box) before he left. I was worried that whatever hardware came with the unit might have fallen out and might be lost forever. But, to my happiness, these people knew how to package very well! All the hardware (nuts, bolts, washers, instruction sheet) were sealed in a thick plastic bag, and securely taped and shrink-wrapped to the hitch unit itself.
Hitch was installed without a hitch (pun intended!). Everything fit perfectly. Instructions were clear; bolts were correct size and thread; washers and nuts were hefty enough to instill confidence that they would not fail under normal use. I'm very happy with this trailer hitch unit. I would gladly buy again if I need another unit.
The construction of this trailer hitch unit looks good and professional.
Proud to be a etrailer installer!
Hitch arrived in excellent condition due to good packaging. No scratches in the paintwork, which by the way appeared well prepared and painted.
Installation went relatively smoothly after the instructions were thoroughly understood. The reason I say relatively is that a Porta Power (hydraulic ram) was needed to spread the rear of the frame less than 1/4" to line up bolt holes. The vehicle is 17 years old and who knows what may have happened to the rear end of the frame by the previous owner(s).
I also ordered CurtT-Connector #55774 wiring harness which unfortunately arrived without the mounting hardware. The bracket and harness did arrive however the mounting screws and nuts did not. Luckily my son and I installed it at his garage so we had the needed hardware on hand.
Overall installation took us about 2 hours including spreading the frame and mounting the wiring harness.
This is a great replacement for my factory hitch, which was rusted away. This is way more rugged which suits my occasional heavy towing needs. I really like the height of the receiver to the bumper. Install was very easy, took longer to understand the instructions than the actual placement.
After the factory installed hitch on my '01 GMC 2500HD showed signs of severe fatigue (broken welds and fatigue cracks) , the Draw Tite replacement was much more capable for the task of pulling our 35' Newmar Country Star travel trailer. Glad I went back to etrailer again for my specific needs.
Put on 05 chevy after factory one rusted out. Fit fine and works fine
Went as advertised! Pretty easy. Didn’t have to remove the spare. Seems stronger than the factory hitch! Thanks
Package arrived a few days early ! However, the box was almost nonexistent.. package was completely mangled, not much left to it.. But nothing looks to be damaged and it's all there. Going to put it on this week ! So far happy with my purchase !
hitch was really easy to install, the only problem i has was with the Review the Pro Series Lock-Tite Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches - PS63100,the shaft wasn't long enough
It bolted right up with no extra drilling! Instructions could be a little clearer
the draw tite hitch is built just like the original factory hitch, and rated for more than the truck can handle. The packing was shoddy at best and mine arrived without most of the hardware. Seems they tape the hardware to the hitch and put it in a simple cardboard box, My ups man has the grace of a hand grenade so check the box for damage when it arrives. I figured they couldn't hurt a 90lb piece of welded steel, but they are more inventive than that. It took four phone calls and several emails over the course of a month to get the parts I needed to mount the hitch. Once I made enough noise they shipped me new hardware and it took less than an hour to mount. The hitch is heavy duty and well made and bolts on with no drilling. It would be easier to install if you have some help lifting it into position, but with some creative contortions one person can do it. If your looking for a hitch that fits right under the bumper this is a good choice. Getting the spare out of the way was the hard part , so I watched a video on the internet to figure that part out. Now I have a hitch for my new camper and the peace of mind knowing that thing is bolted on correctly and is part of the frame.
Easy installation, could not believe how simple the exchange would be . Totally installed in under 20 minutes and I installed it by myself. Thanks for such a great product. I’ll be telling all my friends that if they need this or simular products , don’t hesitate to call.
This new class 5 rear receiver is extremely heavy duty versus the factory class 3 that it replaced. The bolt pattern was new. It spreads out on a larger footprint through all factory holes in the frame rails. It's by far a much tougher built unit. I installed it on my 2002 GMC Sierra 2500hd.
This hitch is absolutely awesome. Probably the most heavy duty hitch I have ever seen and the installation was super easy (about 45 minutes). The position of the hitch is great also, as it tucks under the bumper and is almost hidden, for a very clean look.
