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.

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.Installed on '93 Honda Pilot in 1 1/2 hours while installing new Tow Ready 4- Flat Universal Mounting Bracket (118149) and Tow Ready One Connector wiring harness (118336). Easy install, did not have any trouble cleaning out those previously unused bolt holes on the right side, used wire brush and penetrating lube. Installed tow bar supported on top of grand kids red wagon with side rails, no extra hands required. Did not have to lower exhaust, only removed tow hook from left side. Fits snugly with good clearance from frame and muffler. Tow bar can barely be seen except for receiver.
CW - 03/27/2015I installed the hitch on a 2005 Acura MDX. Was easy, and with another set of hands a breeze to install. The quality of the hitch is great, and my experience with other Draw-Tite hitches in the past has been terrific. This is the fourth hitch I have ordered from Etrailer, and each time has been a pleasure. Their selection, ease of website, and great customer service keeps me coming back.
My next project is a 2012 CX7. I'll be in touch soon!
Thanks Again,

Excellent Product. Installation was so simple product could be renamed Draw-Tite's Easy-Fit hitch. Etrailer.com installation video was also excellent. The Installation Team (Me [67 years] & Wife {64 years]) reported absolutely no problems during installation. Highly recommend both Etrailer.com website and Draw-Tite trailer hitch. Post-installation photo attached (just before cranking spare back up into place and tools cleanup). Hitch wiring was subsequently installed, also with no problems. Etrailer.com installation video for that was also excellent.
Easy order process, great price and great product.
I'm much slower than the other guys in terms of time to install. Took me about 4 hrs, with no helper. Time was significantly extended by having to clean up the 3 threaded bolt holes on the passenger side. Had to rent tool from Auto Zone, and still took a lot of PB Blaster, wire brushing to even get the clean up tool to start into the lead in threads. Then was like 1 - 2 turns, back it out, and repeat.... for all three holes. ~2 hrs later, all the bolt holes were clean and easily accepted the new bolts.
Other than that, no real issues.
Great instructional videos for Receiver and Wire kit.
This is my second purchase from ETrailer, and will def be my online go-to site for all my trailer needs.
Arrived the day after I ordered it, my son installed it for me without any problems. I purchased to use with a bike hitch to carry grandkids bikes.
Julie - 03/15/2021I purchased the receiver for a friend that wanted to be able to minimize hauling everything inside and be able to transport a luggage carrier and bike rack when needed. She was very surprised at how easy it was to install. From online ordering to installation the process was very user friendly. Quality product and great service.
Love the hitch! It went on relatively easily and looks great installed.
Not a hitch issue, per se, but I realized later I should have dropped the spare to make the install easier, since the spare appears pinched between the hitch and the rear body now that I cranked down all the bolts.
Also, install time was lengthened due to rusting of the uncovered threads on the muffler side of the vehicle. I used wd-40, the old bolts, and a lot of patience to make the threads useable from 4+ years of disuse. Someone recommended using a tap-kit to "freshen up" the threads. I would have gotten the proper tap if I hadn't done the install at night. Again, this is a vehicle problem, not a hitch kit problem.
Heh. We also learned that hitch covers get stolen, so we'll be ordering locking hitch receiver cover next time.
Followed the instructions on the video(s). Installed hitch and wiring harness. hooked up tow bar and flat towed a car 2000+ miles.
Very high quality product, arrived in excellent condition. Very easy
to install with the video online was helpful, I didn't lower the muffler
as the instruction said. From the time to open the box and completed the installation is 33 mins, I did used the jack to support the center of the trailer hitch to make installation much easy for myself. Now it's look fantastic love black gloss and it's made in "USA", Etrailer, you guys "ROCK"....
I used many times works great for my use I carry 4 bicycles to the trails had lots of fun , also attach a trailer platform to move stuff , no complains thank you George very respectfully , Octavio
I ordered the Draw-Titer Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver and the T-One Vehicle Wiring
Harness for my 2004 Honda Pilot. They came earlier than I expected and took me 20 minutes to install them by myself.
Perfect fit, easy installation, great price, outstanding quality, excellent service! Ordered for a for a 2007 Honda Pilot on Sunday afternoon and delivered on Wednesday. Installed in about 30 mins, hitch is almost completely hidden other than the receiver. Etrailer is highly recommended and I will definitely buy from them again. Thanks for the easy and professional transaction.
Bought wire harness and hitch. Installation of both took under and hour. The videos made it simple and was easy to follow. Did it myself. Saved hundereds over shop fees.
This DrawTite trailer hitch was fairly easy to install. Great value & fast shipping from eTrailer.com!
I am very satisfied with my purchase. The instruction videos made installation quick and easy. The fasteners provided exceeded OEM standards. Best of all, it looks great and makes the vehicle much more useful (don't have to borrow a friend's truck to tow).
Hitch fit perfectly on my 2006 Honda Pilot. Prior to its arrival I used a tap set to clean the threads and get all of the rust and corrosion out of the mounting bolt holes. Not sure how I would have gotten the job done without that step. With the help of my 14-year-old son we had the hitch mounted in about 30 minutes. Could not have been simpler!
Trailer hitch fit like a glove on my 2006 Pilot. Easy installation, no drilling, and is heavy duty. Looks and works well for me. I would recommend your products to anyone. Pulls my Little Red Wagon with ease !!
Install was just like the video on Etrailer. Fits up nice and tight to the bottom of the bumper so it looks like a factory hitch.
Sierra. all is good. forgive me for not completing your form but on the middle of a move and packing away! you were terriffic ... A+!
service was fast and without a hitch! pun intended!
Excellent service, Helpful videos and am very happy.
Pictures attached.
Product was easy to install took about 15 minutes.
They need to work on the shipping box, mine arrived with the hitch hanging out of the box
Easy install. Works so well, I don't even think about it. Very happy. You have everything, to figured out for me on site. Just go to site and buy, EASY, everything I need.
Easy install. Impact driver only way to remove factory tow hook. I tapped out the holes in the frame rather than using the recommended brush. The entire unit is hidden behind my rear bumper. Beautiful final product.
Fits perfect. Easy install, done in my garage following demonstration video. All of hitch frame hidden away with only receiver visible.
This was one of the easiest purchases and installs that I have done. From the ordering to the installation was the quickest and smoothest transaction. The product was as described and installation was less than 30 minutes. Great product and company...
The service from etrailer in ordering my hitch was excellent. Had a few questions and they answered every one clearly. It was delivered earlier than expected.
Some folks wrote about problems with the install. I found it extremely easy on my Honda Pilot. I used the box it came in to support the other end while bolting up the first.
Even the wiring harness that folks had fits with was quick and to the point. The unit is solid and easy to use. I gave it only a 4 because I'm sure there must be better, stronger hitches on the market, but for the money, the etrailer hitch was a great buy. I've ordered from them again since and would recommend them to my friends and enemies.
Thanks etrailer for a great product and great service.
