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.
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.

Excellent product, service, packaging.
The install of my hidden hitch receiver went fairly smooth considering I did it alone with the assistance of a floor jack and car ramps. I have a 2010 Mazda CX7 but actually watch the 2010 and 2011 install videos and used techniques from both. The install took me about 90 minutes but would have went a lot quicker with an extra set of hands (as the videos stated). In order to expand the existing factory holes in the frame, I used a round chainsaw file and an old drill bit that was larger than the file. I also purchased a Thule Doubletrack Platform-Style 2 Bike Carrier. It required minimal assembly and was out of the box and on my car in minutes. We hit the road and were riding new trails the very next day. The rack was sturdy and easy to load. The only issue is with the ratcheting arms don’t completely secure the bike very well when locked. It is possible to slide the wheel trays in and pull the bike out from underneath the ratcheting arms while they’re locked.
great service, great price, thanks etrailer.com
Everything was perfect and the tracking was real good. Thank You
Great service. Great looking product. Easy to install! Thanks of making this easy:)
Perfect fit, hassle free installation,
Only took one hour start to finish.
Thanks for a great product and service.
The actual hitch is excellent. I am very happy with e-trailer and the product. The installation, however, was slightly more complicated than I anticipated. The existing holes on the frame of my 2010 CX-7 are not big enough to get the spacers through. The instructions suggest using a metal file to expand the holes. That would take forever, I used a drill to bore out some space. Removing the rubber exhaust hangers also proved a little more difficult than I anticipated. Overall, great experience/price/product.
I have not installed it yet, however, it looks great, I will send pictures later.
You have a great customer service program, I have never seen such quick, good and follow up information from any company as good as yours.
Thank You.
Perfect fitProduct fit perfectly and looks very good on my 2008 Mazda CX-7. No cutting bumper or rattling against exhaust as I've heard with some others. Installation easier than expected. Coating is semi-gloss black and matches black car/bumper pretty well.
Hitch assembled great. I just used the video as my instructions, and it went on easily. The only part I struggled with, was removing the exhaust hangers.
Conservatively let's say two hours for the hitch and harness install on my 2010 cx7 but it looks great thank u etrailer for a great product.
The install of this hitch took 20 minutes. Very easy after watching the installation video. I would recommend etrailer.com to anyone.
Great product, I followed the installation video instead of using the paper instructions. Worked great. The longest and most difficult part of the install, was getting the muffler off the exhaust bracket/hangers.
I bought both the hidden hitch and the wireing package. Both pieces fit perfectly. The best part was the installation videos on your website. So much more helpful than the paper directions! I had both the hitch and wiring installed in about an hour and half
Easy to install, directions very clear. Hitch is nicely hidden under our 2010 Mazda CX-7 and the Swagman XC 2 Bike Rack fits perfectly.
Product fit on my 2011 CX-7 was excellent. Hardest part of install was opening up the holes in the frame slightly to accommodate the spacers, but the video instructions were very clear. Took 30 minutes from start to finish. Helps to have 2 people to hold the hitch in place when bolting it down. Customer Service was fantastic.
Product installed in minutes on a 2011 Mazda CX-7!! I didn't even have to drop the muffler as stated in the instructions and video. Instead I jacked the vehicle up a bit on the passenger side and was able to move the hitch into mounting position and secure it. A little hard with one person but a cinder block and a small brick did the trick of keeping it balanced.
$250 here,$450@mazdaPut this hitch on my '08 cx7 and it was easy. Just like the vid. showed, no hidden steps. Also I used the wiring harness and that was great too. One thing I dident like was that you are to leave wires hang out the door. Try this: The gromet you run the power wire through can fit the plug. Make a 1/2" slit and lub up, it will slide through. Be sure you protect your wires w/ loom and tie the wires up so they can't snag or drag. Any way, great buy on both, fast shipping, great service.
Great quality, this is my 5th Draw-tite brand. Etrailer was great with excellent product info and rapid shipping. This hitch for our CX7 went on in less than 30 minutes. Two sets of hands is helpful when lifting the hitch up into place. Hitch is very strong, and fully concealed behind the rear bumper skin (except for the receiver end)
Fit perfectly! Was exactly as described on the web site. Excellent instructions made a somewhat difficult procedure very clear and easy to do. The hitch was of excellent quality. Quick shipping & follow-up tracking. I willl use e-trailer for all my future needs.
Installation video is great! Product fits just fine, installation was easy. Make sure you have a helper or a jack to help lift the hitch into position. A dremel is very useful for quickly enlarging the holes.
I would recommend etrailer and Draw-Tite Products to anyone looking to purchase a hitch!
Fit was fantastic on my 2010 Mazda CX-7. Installation video is sooo helpful. Took me about 2 hours to do myself, including a trip to the hardware store for a metal file to enlarge holes in vehicle frame. Used a motorcycle/atv jack to help position the hitch and hold it in place while securing bolts, because I didn't have help. UPS delivered on-time despite record-breaking floods in the area. Still have to hook-up the wiring harness to OEM connection behind passenger taillight. All in all, 10 out of 10 so far. Excellent product, superb value.
Thanks to the etrailer videos there were no real surprises. The hitch fit as expected on my 2011 CX-7. I do suggest you plan for some assistance holding the weight of the hitch while securing the fasteners.
The only exception I found was with removing the rubber exhaust hangers. I was initially under the impression I had to remove all four after watching their video. This would mean I had to find a way to support the muffler. However, the instructions with the hitch said to remove only the rear hangers which is exactly what I did. That actually left plenty of room for me to place the hitch. As a bonus, the front two hangers supported the muffler. Also, removing both rear hangers completely off the CX-7 made it much easier to place them back on the muffler.
Very nice hitch; this 3rd one I purchased from etrailer, and like all them before they are great! This one was a little harder to put on; but it looks great! The main use is to be able to carry my bikes; maybe light towing if needed.
Fits good. I liked because I can add my rear cargo carrier basket.
