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.

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.Trailer hitch is well built, but automatic tailgate sensor is blocked and no longer works after installation. If you want to open tailgate with your foot, do not get this one. 566687
The fit is not anywhere near perfect. With the subframe nuts and washers loosely attached to the subframe, I had to jack up on the receiver to get the receiver high enough so that the center bolt would go through the towing loop. Then, after tightening everything down, the receiver appears to angle to the left when compared to the bumper. It will probably get the job done, but its not pretty and the 20 minute install time is ridiculous--2 hours is more like it, and that was with help. Point of reference: I have installed 4 similar type hitches like this before so I am not a newby. 464054
Hitch was a perfect fit on a 2017 Honda CRV Touring. The foot activated rear hatch opener still works as claimed. The hardest part was getting those rubber doughnuts for the exhaust off & on. Also suggest getting something to hold the hitch in place against the frame of the vehicle once you get it into position. I used a one gallon pail w/ some wood blocks in the center of the hitch, a floor jack on one side and a 2x4 (that happened to be the perfect length) on the other side. Then it's just a matter of threading the washers & nuts on and torqueing them down. The wire fish for the mounting bolts is brilliant. Took me a little over an hour, but could do it faster the next time. 349420
I have used this product in the past. I put the first one on my 03 Sienna van. Easy to attach so I purchased and attached one to my 05 CRV. Worked great, so my 14 CRV was next and now my 18 CRV. I'm amazed at the easy attachment of the wire harness I bought with each hitch. If there isn't a factory hitch already on my car, I will be purchasing another hitch for any vehicle I buy. 562314
The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is that after mounting the hitch to the frame, I found out that the hole for the 1/2 inch bolt that goes through the factory tow hook had a metal burr large enough to prevent the bolt from going through the hole. It would have been a lot easier to file it down prior to installing the hitch. This added about 20 minutes to the installation (luckily I did have a small enough file to be able to work on it underneath the vehicle) Did the whole project with the vehicle jacked up and laying on my back on the garage floor. The time consuming issue was working with the rubber mounts for the exhaust system (both taking them off and putting them back on, without damaging anything in the process) I am sure that it would have been much easier if I had access to a lift but I expected issues ahead of time since I did not have a lot of headroom to work with. Total job with setup, installation of the hitch and also the wiring took about 3 hours. Much of that was going back and forth finding ways to remove/reinstall the exhaust mounts 470808
The fit is perfect, I had a little trouble getting the bolt thru the tow hook but I loosened all the bolts off then installed the tow hook bolt then tighten everything and it all fit great. etrailer is the best, excellent service and quick shipping. 440498
The product was received on time and in perfect condition. Installation was straightforward and easy. The unit will be used to mount bicycle carriers or a platform carrier, as needed. 415107
I don’t write too many reviews unless product and service is exceptional or poor. My dealing with etrailer was exceptional. From help on the phone to make sure I received correct wiring harness to shipping to ease of instillation. Ian assured me of the correct harness, shipping was quicker than quoted. After watching instillation video on etrailer I was ready to go. I’m installing on 2018 Honda CRV and was never sure that nothing had changed from 2017 CRV. I was hoping maybe Honda would move wiring connection to a easier more logical location. The hitch took 50 minutes to install. Went exactly as etrailer video showed. The only problem I had was lining up hitch plate with tow loop. I suggest loosening up mounting bolt as far as possible and jacking directly under back end of receiver opening. I could not do this by hand but only took 3 pumps on my floor jack and everything lined up. I installed by myself and used a jack stand to balance one side of hitch while I bolted the other side. All hardware tightened and torqued nicely. I did loosen the mid muffler hanger for a bit more room. The Honda wiring harness was exactly where etrailer video showed it to be. Wiring was a struggle due to panels braced in place and I was unable to remove. I had very little room to work and needed wife to pull on panel while I put wiring in place. Watch the instillation videos on etrailer, it is perfect, explains everything you need to know and how to do it. Hitch install was 50 minutes by myself. Wiring install was 90 minutes and I needed extra hands. Price was great and I will go to etrailer for my future needs. 503448
My brother and I installed this ourselves. We did have access to a lift. I think this might be very difficult laying on your back in a driveway. You really do need two people when you get to the point of holding it up and getting it into place. Otherwise, getting the muffler hangers loose was the most difficult part of the process. WD40 to the rescue. The whole process took us about an hour. 365127
Thanks for the follow up. I have included a link to our current offerings for cargo carriers that are compatible with 2 inch hitches.
--Box arrived undamaged, prompt shipping, item was well packaged to prevent damage. After watching the video, it took 2 of us about 45 minutes to install. We accidentally tightened the 4 bolts snug and couldn't get the tow hook bolt to fit without loosening them first. Besides that, the whole thing went smoothly and again, the instructional video was great. I used a Thule 4 bike carrier but could only fit 3 bikes (not etrailers fault). Drove 150 miles each way and had no issues, even after hitting some bumps it held up great. Thank you for making a great product, I will be sure to use your company again in the near future. 428869

Hitch seems well built and straight forward but definitely take the advice to drop both exhaust as difficult as the second one is. All holes matched existing and required no modification 931689
The Receiver is very well made and was easy to install. Excellent service. 931296
Great product and customer service with fast delivery. 924449
Install took about 90min and was straightforward. Fit was excellent. Only issue is that in order to get clearance I had to cut down the bigger rectangular metal bracket that serves as a washer on the centerline connector beneath the hitch by 1/8” with a hacksaw, which was no fun. DEFINITELY recommend having car on a lift for this install. I didn’t, and it was harder that it needed to be! 922547
Very happy with this hitch receiver. Fits my vehicle perfectly. 922451
The product works extremely well and was easy to install. Took about 20 minutes and the instructions were clear and helpful. This hitch has allowed me to haul two dirt bikes on a carrier and a small trailer loaded with items without issues. 921457
Works and looks great on my 2017 Honda CRV. Had a local guy install it, but instructions made it seem like I could it. 921243

Korren C. did a great job of helping me find a trailer hitch for my car at a great price.

Thank you for the quick delivery!!! 912823
Easy to install and use. 912719
I cannot say enough great things about this company. They absolutely went out of their way to provide over the top customer service. From the time I placed my order until after I got my hitch, the fabulous customer service has been amazing. In an era when so many companies have lost track of decent customer service, these guys, all of them, have exceeded in every way, wonderful customer service. This review may seem like a fake, but it's not, email me and I'll share it with you. Thank you 911817
