This fully welded, corrosion-resistant vehicle trailer hitch receiver is perfect for your light-duty towing needs. Draw-Tite's Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry standards. Drawbar sold separately.
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.

Exactly what I was looking for.
Great communication and fast delivery!
the install video was the selling point > work great. It took 1 hr but most of the time was this old man getting up and down, I did not have a lift
trailer hitchthis one is for my second car. cant beat etrailers prices and service. ordered saturday and it was delivered wednesday
Very Easy InstallationThis receiver installed much easier than I was expecting. It took me longer to get my tools ready than it did to put it on. It looks great, mostly hidden behind the bumper.
Easier than I expected. A-OKI watched the tape of the installation procedure when I ordered it and it was exactly as described. Maybe even a little easier.
Perfect fit! Install time took only 15 min. Very fast shipping. I ordered on tue night and had my hitch on fri. Second hitch I have purchased from them.
Was very pleased with the trailer hitch. with your online video showing installation procedures, it made it very easy to install.
Your estimate was 50 minutes but it only took about 20 minutes.
Thanks for your prompt response and delivery.
The wiring took only 20 minutes,the hitch install was excellent once I was able to remove 3 very RUSTED bolts on my Caravan!
NOTE: soak them in PB Blaster or similar penatrant at least 1 hour PRIOR to bolt removal! Mine SNAPPED OFF because they jammed up 1/2 way out! EXCELLENT HITCH!
Works great, but couldn't install it ourselves.Received the hitch quickly. Watched the video. Tried to loosen the first bolts, but couldn't get them to budge. Even my varsity football player son couldn't get the bolts to release! So I took my '02 Dodge Grand Caravan into my mechanic and had him install the hitch as well as the wiring harness. Cost me $60. Mechanic said that he even had a difficult time freeing up the bolts. Too many Minnesota winters on sandy salty roads, I guess. Be sure to get the little hitch cap. Keeps the hitch clean and rust-free.
Quick install, exact fit, directions were great. With the help of a hydraulic jack and about 20 mins I was done. Works great, has towed great without an issue.
Phenomenal . Hitch shops wanted twice as much to start, for a 'universal fit'.
This was a perfect fit with simple instruction to follow. Total job took me an hour. I spent more time jacking up the vehicle and cleaning up tools then I did installing the hitch. The quality of the hitch is excellent.
Excellent customer service with knowledge to help me decide on the right hitch for my specific vehicle and usage. The hitch was in stock at a great price and was shipped the same day I ordered. It aLeo arrived quickly and in perfect condition. would highly recommend and buy from etrailer.com again. Great experience!
I live in northwest washington, had no problems with rust on my 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan. Hitch installed very easily. Kind of. I didn't have a 18 mm socket at the beginning which I needed for the stock bolts. We got it done with a crescent wrench, but that 18mm socket sure did come in handy too tighten everything down. The nuts the hitch came with are 3/4, stock bolts 18mm. Super easy to install though. Would have taken 15 minutes with proper tools, didn't even need to jack the van up. Towing a 14' fiberglass fishing boat. Used with part number "118376 T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector". Wiring harness was very easy to install. I got rear ended in a hit and run so I was worried about how that would affect the install but both were extremely easy. I did the harness while my friend did the hitch. We had a third person to assist us both, can't stress how easy this was though, thank you!!! Also, it showed up a day earlier than what I was told, nice surprise!
Easy install. Quick delivery. Great quality product video made for the easiest install ever!
Awesome installation. I've left a great review on the wiring harness the covers the entire project. Always have great success with your parts and installation instructions.
The trailer hitch was easy to install and has worked great.
Perfect fit, great price, fast shipping, and easy breezy installation! Took my son less than 30 minutes to install and it looks great. Can't wait to take my little jonboat to the lake! I'd recommend this company to anyone!
Use the hitch nearly every week end. With no problems. Installation was quick and easy.
Excellent product, easy to install. Soaked the bolts in the frame with penetrating oil for three days (once a day) while it was in transit. Out of the box and on the van in 25 minutes. Really impressed with the look of it.
Installed on 2001 Town and Country Van. Only problem I had was putting one of the rear bolts back in. The nut tread would not take hold of the bolt treads. Ended up getting hold of a tap and die set and some how managed to get it started correctly into the nut. Then the bolt went in. My son had a torque wrench. Next test will be towing my 4X8 trailer without breaking the mounting bolts when loaded.
The trailer wiring was a little tricky installing. The ground wire was attached in a different place. Since I used to installed two-way radio's into military equipment it was not hard to figure out another grounding place. The most trouble I had was removing the tail light connector so I could plug in the trailer wiring. Test of trailer lights was right on. Even with the head lights on.

Still working good. My main suggestion is a longer grounding wire. About twice the length.The problem I have now is the turn signal circuit shorted out. I disconnected the trailer wiring at the connector in the tail light. Still shorted but it was nice too have a easy way to remove trailer wiring from circuit. Being hard wired in, or spliced in would have been a pain.I like simple.
The trailer hitch receiver and relevant trailer lights wiring harness arrived within 2 days of order in perfect condition. Both fit the 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan exactly and instillation was exactly as described. I am very satisfied with the product and service.

A year following installation, I am still satisfied. Although the receiver has been used sparingly, there has been no problem. Same with the trailer lights - no problem. I would recommend these products to a friend.
Installation was perhaps 15 minutes....or less.
However the original bolt removal....not so much. Realizing I had a rust issue and experience with rusted bolts I soaked and agitated the bolts for 2 days in advance but held little hope. Approached somewhat gently, then more aggressively. Broke 1 bolt.
What the real problem was that the other three had seriously become one with the nuts. At first look they appeared to be moving but then twisted loose the spot welded receiving nuts on the inside of the bumper channel. Spinning bolts and nuts was the result.
Kind of a "now what?" moment for a bit.
The cure: Use a cut off disc to slice the bolts or bolt head off. Remove the bumper cover. The bumper will then slide out. I also removed the one oem nut that held the remains of the broken bolt.
Acquire new bolts and nuts, Clean metal, TIG weld nuts to bumper channel, prime and paint with your favorite anti rust coating.
Reinstall bumper and cover. Some anti-seize on the bolts would not hurt.....just in case you need to do maintenance a few years down the road.
Installation is a piece of cake from that point.
Tip: I would pick up new nuts and bolts before starting this job for any vehicle more than 5 yrs old and/or lives in the rust and salt belt.

will this work for a power chair?
This is a great product, it was easy to install and mount underneath my 2006 dodge caravan. It worked absolutely great, and is still in great top condition after install. We took it on a 2,000 mile long road trip that aided us fantastically and would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for an external trailer hitch receiver. I would buy another one when/ if I had another vehicle to install it on.
This seemed like the perfect hitch to pull a small trailer with some kayaks in with my mini-van. I am always a little unsure when a product says fits using existing bolts, no drilling required. The hitch came very fast, and I must admit it fit better than I imagined. I had one stubborn bolt that took a whole can of penetrating oil, but once removed, the hitch was on in a few minutes, and fit like a glove. The plug and play wiring I also ordered went on in minutes, and I was ready to hook up the trailer and go. The hitch looks great, and so does the quality. I would definitely recommend this product and etrailer.com.
