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.This is my second install of a Draw-Tite hitch receiver on a Subaru Outback. I would add to the installation instructions that the bumper skin tabs closest to the taillights are easiest to install if you pick up the skin before snapping each side into place. This makes all the difference. I reused the plastic fasteners holding the bumper skin to the fender at the wheel arch - negating the need for a plastic rivet tool. I wish Draw-Tite had included a small tube of silicone too, as this would have saved me a trip to the local hardware store. My install this time took 45 min from tools ready to final mudflap screw tightened. I saved a TON of money vs the factory hitch and the install is really easy the second time around. It looks good (nothing but the receiver is visible), and is perfect for my bike rack and for occasionally towing my boat from our cabin to the local boat ramp.
An outstanding trailer hitch for Subaru Outbacks with my only nitpick being a few chips in the black powder coat, but then what can one expect in "Great-Again" America?
Very easy to install - I hope it wasn't a mistake re-using the factory hardware and not putting silicone - They should had put some kind of warning that the hardware was shoved into the receiver tube. other than that, everything is as described

Installing Draw-Tite 76336 Trailer Hitch Purchase went very well working with Julie's assistance. Tracking was great, extremely detailed, and delivery was on time as specified. Shipping box was extra heavy duty, protected the hitch very well. Box so tough it was extremely hard to cut up for recycling. Great protection. Installed with car on ground. Used support stands to secure exhaust, placed under muffler. Only lowered a short distance for necessary clearance. Did not have to use exhaust removal tool. Car is one month old, and rubber support slid off easily, by hand, without any lubricants. Maybe after time it gets more difficult to remove. Did not need to remove shields on passenger side. Installed hitch myself. Hitch fit like a glove, perfectly. Instructions were accurate. All info on website was very helpful My 3/4" socket fit the mounting bolts adequately for torqueing. Did not have a metric socket that big. Trimmed guard on drivers side and re-attached. It must be for something, so it probably should be attached. Panel is a pain in the bu-- to re-attach. Final installation looks great, under car and rear of car. Much better than others I have seen. I am 77 years old, and installation took me about 1-1/2 hours. I took my time, wanted it done right, and took time to be careful and safe. Sending some photos, but could not take pictures under car.

etrailer really came through. I had ordered a tow hitch receiver for my vehicle through another company and was told that it would be delivered in time for my trip. However four days before I was supposed to leave, I received an email from the other company saying that my part was on back order had not been shipped and would not be in for another six weeks. I called each trailer to see if there was anyway they could get it here on time they had the hitch in stock and were able to get it shipped out and to me with enough time to still have it installed before my trip. The service is absolutely amazing! The hitch is great it was a perfect fit for the factory frame and weld nuts. Looks and functions just like the factory part but for a fraction of the cost.

This hitch, like every other hitch I've bought over the years from etrailer.com, was a perfect fit for my 2020 Palisade. The directions are thorough and all hardware is included. I was able to install mine solo without having to lift my vehicle. I used two jack stands to balance the hitch as I moved it into position. Once you get the top bolts in place "it ain't going anywhere". Torqued everything down to specs. Was pleasantly surprised I didn't need use any pivot extenders / etc. Everything fit nicely with 17mm and 19mm sockets, 17mm and 19mm open end wrenches, and a torque wrench to finish it off.

I am please with this part, I specially like how good of a fit this was for my 2021 Toyota highlander hybrid Platinum, far better than the OEM part. The installation was easy, the only part that was tedious was the final trimming of the plastic cover on the driver's side. My only minor complaint is the low quality of the paint, it chips easily, even as I was unpacking from the box some places had bare steel showing, I have now applied primer to these sections and will repaint with black later. Lots of great documentation at Toyotanation forum

Amazing customer service. I couldn’t find the hitch I needed locally so I googled it and found Etrailer. Ordered the hitch and got it shipped to my door in less than a week and it was cheaper than all the quotes I got locally. Unfortunately the hitch showed up missing 3 washers. I emailed the help line at 8pm and asked what they would do and within an hour I had a response and 1 email later they were shipping me the missing washers. Amazing customer service (especially Hanna S.) and overall amazing experience even with the minor issue of having to wait for the washers to come in. Would highly recommend Etrailer and I will be shopping here again!

First I was very impressed with Shanna S who was my sales person. I was unsure of the proper hitch to order and she walked me through it with a great amount of professionalism and expertise. My delivery was on time as she told me the approx. dates it would arrive. The installation was not difficult and the hitch in my opinion is perfectly located on the vehicle so it does not protrude excessively beyond the bumper. I am very happy with your product and the sales procedure that took place. Thank you.

On time delivery and it fits perfectly well on my 2020 Highlander Hybrid XLE. I was able to put on the passenger side panel but the driver side panel cannot be put back on with the hitch. Solid hitch receiver. I can send you more pictures if you need some for references.
Review from a similar Max-Frame in Trailer Hitch
Installed it on my 2020 Escape Sport Hybrid AWD. Confirmed fit, as advertised! I was worried about finding one that fit since that the model is still pretty new redesign. It wasn't too bad to install (I'm not a professional), and I got it done in an evening. Didn't need an exhaust hangar removal tool -- I just used some grease and a pair of pliers. For resizing the access hole, I used a Dremel with a Silicon Carbide Grinding Stone bit and it didn't take much grinding. Other than that, I followed the directions and it was pretty straightforward. The product itself feels very sturdy and it's heavy. It almost feels like overkill since I'm only going to be putting a bike carrier on it. Only not-so-good thing was some of the black paint was flaking off already, on arrival. It's not in a visible spot though.

I have ordered from etrailer before and have been very happy with the service and products. The customer service staff stayed in contact with me when I had questions and when my order arrived, The Kuat NV 2.02 was a great price when compared to all other on-line stores. We are very happy with the high quality and function of the Kuat NV 2.0 bike rack. Thank you!
Review from a similar Max-Frame in Trailer Hitch
This does NOT fit a 2020 Palisade. Install was easy enough but as you can see from the picture the metal piece is pushing up into the bumper causing it to deform. There is no way around this unless you are willing to cut into the bumper. I would not recommend this hitch to anyone with a Palisade. It was obviously designed for another vehicle.
Review from a similar Max-Frame in Trailer Hitch
Installed on my 2021 Highlander Hybrid. Great hitch and extremely easy to install. Install took only about 30 min (didn't run electrical. I do especially like that this hitch has an electrical mount bracket. It will look a lot cleaner, once installed, then having the break light lines just dangling.

Order arrived very quickly in excellent condition. Hardware, warranty, and instructions were included. A installation video, especially regarding dropping the muffler would be very helpful, as other hitches do not require this step.

Easy to install. Went right into place.
Review from a similar Max-Frame in Trailer Hitch
The hitch on a 2021 Hyundai Palisade Caligraphy needs to have part of the bumper cut out to fit. This is not detailed on the videos or in the instructions. Otherwise, the hitch fits tightly and well to the car. Hardly noticeable.
Review from a similar Max-Frame in Trailer Hitch
I rec'd the hitch less than 48 hours after I ordered it...sent from MO to PA...amazing. Great online installation video. I was able to easily install it the same day I received it. I couldn't be more pleased with the delivery, installation, and the product!
Review from a similar Max-Frame in Trailer Hitch
Ordered for our 2020 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited. Install took about two hours because I did it by myself and I trimmed and replaced the underbody covers instead of discarding them. It fits great. The automatic tailgate still works.

Wonderful experience! I ordered this along with the etrailer 24x60 cargo carrier and received both within 2 days of ordering. Both have performed flawlessly! I couldn't recommend a company and their products more.
Review from a similar Max-Frame in Trailer Hitch
Fit as expected and very happy I made the purchase from etrailer.com. Due to the time it took to install the wiring harness, which was five minutes, I didnt take any pictures and just too excited the tow hitch and wiring harness were both installed within 30-40 minutes. Thanks again for all you do!
