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.

Today in our 2017 Cadillac XT5 we'll be installing a Draw-Tite Max-Frame Class 3 Trailer Hitch Receiver, part number 76022. All right here's what our hitch looks like installed, as you can see it's nice and tucked up underneath our back bumper cover here. When it's not in use and we want to have a nice clean look on our vehicle, we can just slide our door back into position and re-secure it with the two screws on the bottom. When we want to tow you just remove it and have access to our hitch. This hitch features a 675 pound max tongue weight rating, and a 4500 pound max gross trailer weight rating. It does support the use of weight distribution, but those numbers stay the same, so just keep that in mind. We have these nice, easy use safety chain loops here, nice large opening, as you can see I can stick four fingers through and have plenty of room to move them in and out. If you have some large diameter safety chain loops, you won't have to worry about them getting stuck in there, you'll be able to use them easily with your trailer.
To the side of our hitch here we have two holes. The larger holes are industry standard, 5/8 of an inch, diameter hitch pin hole. Towards the rear of that we have our J Pin Stabilization Device hole. A J Pin Stabilization Device is an accessory that you can purchase off of our website in order to take some of that annoying shake and play out of the device that's inserted in your receiver, such as your bike rack or your cargo carrier, if they don't already have an anti-rattle device built into them. Now our hitch has a nice collar welded on the end of the receiver to give it a finished look and help give it some more durability. The entire hitch features a high gloss black powder coat finish, which will provide us many years of rust and corrosion free service.
One unique feature that our hitch has, is there's this bracket off to the driver's side of here, where you can attach your wiring harness brackets here. Now for a few measurements to better assist you in choosing any hitch mounted accessory you may need, such as a ball mount, bike rack, or cargo carrier, you're looking at about six inches from the center of the hitch pin hole, to the rearmost part of the back bumper. About 18 inches from the ground to the top of the class 3 two inch receiver opening. Now here's what our hitch looks like. Has all of our installation hardware that we need that comes with it too. We have our blocks here, six of these, that are carriage bolts will drop down through inside our frame rails.
We'll secure our hitch to those with these conical tooth washers and six nuts. We also have six pull wires here, to get all of our hardware in position. All right, now that we're underneath our vehicle, the first thing we need to do is remove this cover here, which covers where the factory hitch goes. With this hitch in place we'll actually be able to reinstall this when we're not towing a trailer, we can put the cover back up to conceal the hitch. There are two seven millimeter screws that hold it in place, remove those, grab the door, pull it down. On our frame rail, we're on our passenger side here for reference, you see there are three holes in line That's where our bolts are going to be dropped down through.
Then we have this larger hole here, we need to enlarge this slightly so our spacer plates can fit through it. For that you can use a die grinder or a step bit. I'm going to use a step bit here today. Okay, we have our spacer plate fitting through, we'll make sure our carriage bolt does as well. We'll repeat the same process on the other side. Now we'll take one of our pull wires here, insert it into our front hole, make sure it comes out our large access hole that we enlarged a little bit. Take one of our plates, put it on the wire, insert in the frame rail, thread on one of our carriage bolts to the pull wire, pull it on down, and we'll work our way back and do the same for the other two holes. Okay, we'll repeat the same process for the other side of the vehicle. Here's the rest of our hardware, we have these conical tooth washers right here, notice that one side has teeth on it, the other side's concave. The side with the teeth will face up towards our hitch, and then we secure it with this nut right here. It's the same on both sides. Now we know how our hardware goes, we'll grab an assistant and raise our hitch up, and secure it with the hardware. All right, so with an extra set of hands, we'll have our hitch about a 45 degree angle, with the receiver facing down. We'll slide this end over our exhaust pipes, push it forward, and we'll back on our fascia here, and slide it back up, get our hardware through, got our conical tooth washer on, and nut. Get one started on each side. With one started on each started on each side we'll install the rest of our hardware. Repeat the same process on the other side. Now the instructions say to use an 11/16 socket to tighten down the hardware, it's actually a 3/4. With all of our hardware tightened down, we'll torque to the amount specified in the instructions. Repeat the same process on the other side. That completes our installation of the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Class 3 Trailer Hitch Receiver, part number 76022 on our 2017 Cadillac XT5.

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.Received our new hitch, ball mount and factory wiring harness in excellent condition. I had watched your installation videos, which were very helpful and with my wife's help, had no difficulties connecting the wiring harness or mounting the hitch. By the way, I'm 72 years old and did the install from a creeper on our garage floor. Looking forward to many years of safe trailer towing. 564996
Works perfectly and is totally out of sight when the ball mount is removed and the access cover is replaced in the bumper cover.
Jim N - 09/14/2019Great fit easy install. Mounting bracket for the trailer plug put the plug in a convenient place to plug into. They did ask for a die grinder to enlarge the hole in the frame to get the backing plates into the frame. Kind of a strange tool to have around. I found that a file did the job in just a few munites. One oops by Draw Tie. One of the points on this hitch was it was pre-drilled for a J-pin. The only problem was that the Draw•Tite® J-Pin® Anti-Rattle Pin could not be used with this hitch. From one side you could not get the pin into the hole, and from the other side, you can not put the lock on the pin. This is due to the placement of the mounting bracket for the trailer plug which would have to be removed to use their j-pin. 493281
Product is exactly as advertised. Ordered on Monday, received on Wednesday, installed on Friday. Anna D, did an excellent job of getting me the exact wiring harness for my 2017 XT5, AWD ,plus exact adapter plug to 4 wire trailer plug. I had access to a car lift , so total installation was complete in 45 minuets, including enlarging 2 holes with step bit, to allow access of the support plates, plus drill to new holes for wiring plug, in lue of wire ties. Unit fit perfectly and bumper cover refit prefect. Can’t tell there is a hitch installed. Great product, great price. Cadillac wanted $450 for hitch, and $390 for installation. My cost with etrailer was less than $200 complete. THANKS etrailer and Anna D. 541252

Great price and service. Drawtite hitch and wiring arrived as stated, and the hitch fit perfectly. I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but looking forward to it. 717171
I am as happy today at I was when I got it installed. The installation was easier than I expected and it is doing great. 699267
Easy and Fast to install. Also quick delivery !!!! Thank You etrailer !!!!! 698657
Great design and ease of installation. Like the fact that the hitch is normally hidden. Must have had good collaboration with vehicle maker. It does take two sets of hands to install this receiver. Disappointed that large chunks of structural coating were lost during shipment due to banging around in the box. I guess though that the structure’s integrity will outlive me. So, the coating was chosen for cosmetic purposes? Too cheap to last through delivery. 697557
The hitch manufacturer recommend using a high quality spray paint to touch up their hitches. This should be used to cover any bare metal to prevent premature rusting of your new hitch.

Rachael H - 09/04/2019Delivered promptly. Already installed.Installation very simple. Extremely happy with the product. Would use this company again. 691615
This is the 4th hitch I have purchased from trailer. The one I had on my last car saved it from damage in a rear end collision. The car that hit me had severe damage to her front end while my hitch soared my car from any damage. When our children saw what happened, they both asked me to install one on each of their cars. 690998
When order something from from this company u get it fast and exactly what you ordered great service 682957
The hitch was a perfect fit and was exactly as the video showed. It’s a bit of a chore by yourself but it was fine. Only problem was with written instructions which described mounting nits as needing an 11/16 socket. After three trips from off the floor it was confirmed that my bolts required a 3/4 deep well socket. Thanks for your help with the missing parts. 671297
Excellent company to buy from. Watched the video on installing hitch before install, went very well. Thanks for prompt delivery 669118
The hitch was delivered promptly and was easily installed. I only use this hitch for my bike rack and it works fine. 657838
Thought this was going to be tougher, watched video had it done in 30 minutes 654450
Thank you for the prompt service, the only thing the bolts and plates would not go through the hole, had to get them in from the end . 645047
Ordering the Hitch for my Cadillac XT5 was easy and it was delivered within a few days. Installation video helped tremendously and took less than 30 minutes to install. 641957
Quick, Reliable, and outstanding quality product! We ordered a bike rack for the first time with etrailer, it was promptly delivered. We are very happy with the product, it had all the features described on the site. Then, we went on to order a trailer hitch, which also was promptly delivered and right on what we were looking for. Definitely recommend the site, and plan to use it in the future! 636923
I had my trailer hitch installed professionally and they only charged &143.00, which I feel is more than fair. I had called around and everyone else was wanting twice that much. I told the local installer, because I was worried about add-on cost. He told me that his experience was that any trailer hitch sold by etrailer.com was advertised and they know the products very well. Other hitches must have modifications which causes them extra time and so they have to pass it on to the consumer. Good to Know. Thanks 633192
Installation went exactly as promoted in the video clip . Excellent product continues to meet our expectations. 629458
nice 613263
Easy to install, works well on the car i installed it on 608765
Great price and fast delivery 602758
Exactly as expected, quality material and precisely built; snug installing in 2019 Cadillac XT5. Used a rechargeable Dremel type tool with sanding tool to enlarge the hole for plates, bolts and pull wires, 10 minutes a side, easy. Bought wiring adapter also, #118702, on vehicle, slide red lock to wire, press latch under red lock and dummy plug slides easily out. 598571
Fit great good price fast delivery 592100
As per previous orders: Excellent. After installation (with a little elbow grease) and replacing the rear panel, my wife can't see it!! The little bolt cables are superb! Give that person a rai$e!. 580975
My tow bar was just as advertised and I received it within 3 days of placing my order. 550694
great fit easy install 548194
Product was in good condition, except paint was chipped on ends of hitch as the box was punctured in two places. 546274
Quick install and fits just right. You can even cover the hitch. 538298
The product is just what I expected. I installed it by myself with the vehicle on the ground, so it was considerably more difficult than in the video when there were two people and it was on a lift. I used a floor jack to get it into position. Communication from etrailer was very good. 527343
Fit great and functioned well good prod uct!! 504761
Well designed product and kit. The instructional video was very helpful. My only issue was performing without putting vehicle on a lift. It was a little cramped, but doable. 481240
1/2 hour installation!! 480360
great product exact fit 476951
I'm one of those guys who like s to do things for myself...assuming I am capable of doing so. I ordered the trailer hitch for placement on my Cadillac XT5 in anticipation of attaching a trailer and hauling something for a long distance. Circumstances changed and it was not necessary but I see it as plus when it comes time for a trade-in or private party sale. The unit purchased was exactly as advertised and I was able to install the hitch with no help. A little awkward but no fault of the hitch...just no help so I used a car jack (the type you pump the handle to raise the lifting pad) to help with supporting the unit while installing it. Worked out great. Excellent quality and I received prompt service from the supplier. 475739
Product arrived quickly and in good condition. All necessary parts were included. The directions and video on installation were accurate and made the process easy. 471131
Fast shipping, great product. 441202
It's an excellent hitch for the price I paid from etrailer. I installed it myself my Cadillac XT5 at my garage in 30-40 minutes. It's very sturdy and neatly fabricated to fit behind the bumper. I liked that the way fits underneath, When the hitch cap is closed its not visible from outside. Good one!! 436594
The hitch was easily installed, and it took a little more than an hour by myself. The wires used to get the bolts and spacers in the holes worked amazingly well. I had to use a dremel to widen the extra hole in order for the bolts and spacers to fit in the pipe. The fact the rear cover can be replaced even with the hitch in place is another plus. I would recommend this unit to anyone especially DIY. The free shipping is great as well. I had to return the connector and buy just a flat 4 pin connector due to the way the pins and holes from the car aligned on the more expensive connector. for my purposes the four pin connector is sufficient. 434202
This was a perfect fit for my car. The included instructions were accurate and clear, making the installation go smoothly. Unlike the OEM hitch, this one fits close to the frame so that stock access panel on the bumper can be put back on when not in use - no need to buy the optional expanded panel. 431136
The hitch is still working very well. Weve towed several [rental] trailers with it and it has performed flawlessly.
Rudeney - 09/11/2018This is my third hitch from Etrailer. Product and delivery is always the best. Normally I install the hitch myself, but a little hiccup this time. The feed bolt holes need to be drilled out to accept the bolts. $40 for the step bit 430172
Excellent communication. Fast shipping and perfect fitment. A pleasure to do business with. 429749
Excellent directions and the u- tube video made the install very easy. I was surprised how fast the hitch was delivered. I did this myself and supported the hitch on a floor jack. If you don't have a way to hold the hitch in place you will need a helper. I am very satisfied and glad I didn't pay Cadillac 600 for the hitch. 429585
As advertised. works well 428013
Packaged well! Delivered as scheduled and quality great! Hitch on and ready to go. 426759
Received my order on time and in good shape, but what really impressed me is the detailed instructional video on installing the hitch I ordered . This is my third experience with etrailer and the results have all been excellent. 413883
Right Hitch, Right Electrical, speedy delivery! Very happy with product. installed in about 1 hour by myself. Would purchase again, or recommend. 409798
