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.

Fully welded vehicle trailer hitch is strong and durable. Draw-Tite's Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry standards. The combination of an e-coat base and a powder coat finish provides excellent rust protection.Holy heavy duty!! I went with Draw-Tite because I wanted the extra tongue and towing capacity. This thing is built super tough and exceeded my build quality expectations. I had it installed and torqued to the recommended xx lbs. within minutes. It comes with large fender washers to use as spacers if needed but I didn’t need them myself as it was a snug fit. You will definitely need to lower the full size spare tire for room to work and it will be a close fit once you crank it back up. I had to crank the tire 90% of the way up then push the tire as far forward as it would go to clear the hitch as you will see in the pics. I purchased and also installed the anti-rattle cover and wire connector mounting plate for the finishing touch. I would recommend this hitch and the accessories to anyone!
Super strong receiver and with the video instructions from etrailer installation went without a hitch, pun intended.
It was amazing how easy it was to install this. I have been towing trailers like there is no tomorrow with my jeep now. Excellent product, very sturdy and very well made. {online} instruction videos were very easy to find. Would recommend to anybody!
I installed the hitch and wiring kit in less than an hour by myself. It went together flawlessly. I would highly recommend etrailer to anyone looking for a high quality hitch or accessories!
The service from etrailer is the best, bar none! Too bad you don’t sell insurance! The Drawtite receiver is good quality with good install instructions and includes everything you need. The tools needed are a 19 mm socket and a torque wrench. I watched the etrailer install video and followed it verbatim alongside the tq settings in the included instructions. I coupled this receiver with Curt 4 pole wire harness ( non oem towing pkg) and it compliments the receiver nicely mis. I chose this receiver as I like the safety chain connection points better than the CURT option and so far it works well on the Girlfriends 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee towing her boat.
I have loved everything about ordering from etrailer.com! The availability Of the product and quickness of delivery was spot-on . I would recommend etrailer.com to every one.
Excellent shipping and fast great packaging so pleased excellent so fast
Very simple product. Directions were very clear. My car did not come with a hitch which was frustrating so I was happy to find such a convenient solution. Also, everything came on time or earlier ( ordered two products). All in all, I’m very happy with my purchases.
This Hitch bolted up fairly effortlessly. With my Jeep the rear cross member had a seam that seamed to have some built up weld on it or something that didn't quite let the washers, that came with the kit as shims, to work. Would have been nice to have some sort of clip on shim instead of the washers this would have been easier than trying to tape them in place. Over all my review is very positive, took me all of 30 minutes to install it. Got the wiring harness on order as well.
I recently ordered and installed this product from etrailer. It seems very sturdy and well built. Etrailer was excellent to deal with, with an email on the status of my order about 15 minutes after placing it. Install was just a matter of dropping the spare tire and tightening four bolts. It does seem as if the hitch should have just a little more drop to it as it does pull on the bumper slightly but not noticeable unless you crouch and look at it. Overall excellent experience with etrailer and this product.
Super easy Installation. Exact fit with ALL necessary parts and accessories included. Outstanding customer service and exceptional communication from eTrailer.
I just finished installing my new hitch. Took less than an hour (by myself) including shimming with one set of washers. Instructions, including sketches, were excellent. I have already recommended your site to friends. We are going to use the hitch to hold a bike rack, probably from you. I also get to show off my Steelers emblem. Great product all the way around.
every thing about the hitch installation is correct went very fast and was super easy. The only thing that I would like to point out is the removal of the standard J tow hook that comes stock with teh commander. You have to remove the cross brace for the J hook. The cross brace ties driectly into the rear frame where the tow hitch needs to go. The bolt that you need to take out has to be removed from the BUMPER SIDE that is the very rear end. You can not remove the nut because the nut is welded onto the cross brace.
The whole kit was awesome and so was the price. Ordered it on a Thursday and received it the following Wednesday. It is an easy install but not 30 minutes for 1st timers. If you do it all the time then yeah, if not, take your time. Shim the hitch properly and take extra care in routing the wires so you won't be doing it again, i.e. watch for sharp edges on frame and/or body and wires close to exhaust. Another obvious one, but for people doing something like this for the 1st time, don't use the bolts to line up the hitch holes. Use a long screwdriver or something so you don't mess up the threads on the bolts and/or hitch.
Just installed the hitch on my 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. Fit great and was relatively easy to install. I installed by myself and had almost no trouble, very straightforward. The only issue is that the plastic rivet clips on the bumper won't line up to be reattached to the frame after the job was done. This however really poses no problem, the bumper is secure against the hitch even without the rivets and does NOT rattle, and looks just as it did prior to the job.
Receiver arrived fast in a Heavy Duty very secure cardboard box. Hefty piece of steel with quality welds and nice thick paint job. Made In Mexico if that matters. Installation went smoothly, just as their online videos instructions presented. This DIY'er is Super Pleased!
Hitch is still going strong a year later, and looks as good as the day I installed it, even sitting outside through an Upper Michigan winter.
As described!
Easy install as I didn't have tow hooks that needed to be removed. I was able to install it solo in about a 1/2 hour. The bumper fascia touches the hitch slightly but not an issue at all.
Hitch is great only issue I have is the hooks to place your safety chains are at a weird angle. I love the way this thing attaches to my jeep and it is very secure. I recommend you get one if you are in the market for a hitch.
This hitch was very easy to install with an extra set of hands to pull the plastic bumper out while putting the hitch in place. Had it completely installed in about 10 minutes.
Very easy to install, fits perfectly, and is great quality. Great communication from the etrailer staff as well. Will be recommending etrailer to friends and family.
Little difficult to install by your self, much easier with 2 people. Material rusted a little bit but other than that it is holding up very well. Highly recommend over taking it somewhere to get a aftermarket hitch put on. Best bang for your buck .
The Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Hitch receiver is well built, heavy duty, and fits my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee like it was made for it, because it was. The hardest part of the installation was moving the rear (plastic) bumper out of the way because I didn't know how that was attached. After a few minutes of struggling, I decided I didn't care if it ever went back on, and getting the receiver in position then became easy. Everything lined up as designed and I was done in about a half-hour. Miracles of miracles the rear bumper is still intact and perfectly in place. The receiver looks and works very well and I recommend it to anyone looking to put their vehicle to use hauling boats to and from the water. Stay Safe!
Rock solid hitch and installation was a breeze. No issues since installation.
