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.
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.

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.Great hitch, install was very easy with the threaded wire included making it easy to get the carriage bolts in the frame rails.
Outstanding online transaction. Clear, easy to understand website. Fast delivery (not to door), and packaging prevented damage, but was punctured. Your instructional videos were very helpful. Hitch heavier than it looks, hired a local trailer shop to install. Wish I had ordered the wiring kit with the hitch.
The Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver for our 2011 Chevy Impala worked out great!
It was easy to install with no drilling or welding. We pulled a 14' wooden boat on a small trailer. We would still be using it but for a distracted driver rear ending the car last January, totaling the car.
I could not believe how easy this was to install or how quickly it shipped (for free). I installed it by myself in about a half hour (including the 4 flat connector I purchased at the same time). This is a great product and I would recommend it to anyone.

Perfect
Arrived quickly and well packed. It does have the bolt fishers in the parts package (4) so no need to purchase. The video is very accurate on how to install - except if your Impala is an "SS" or LTZ with dual exhausts you have both mufflers to drop - and you can't really just pull it to one side (as shown in the video) - as they are welded in a "Y". Still the installation is rated as a 4 out of 10, and that is really true. I did the fishing of the bolts, and the install of the fitted wire harness by myself - but had a helper to lift the hitch into position. Everything was done without the car jacked off the ground, and after watching the video - it was EASY. Thanks
Good Product, did what I wanted it to do. Pretty easy to install. Since it fits up under the trunk, the safety chain links are a little far back, have to get on knees to hook. No big deal. Overall very pleased. The chain hookup is why a 4 and not a 5. Dont hesitate on getting this, works great. I did get an adapter to use a 2" hitch rather than the 1 1/4". It too works well. No problems.

If you use 2 hitch you will need safety chain extentions. If you use the 1 14, the trailer hitch will hit the plastic bumper and take off the paint. Overall I am pleased.
Very happy with the purchase. Item arrived as scheduled. Great installation documentation made it very easy to install , nice to see the attention to detail on the website!!! Customer service was great also. I would order through them again!!
The installation for this hitch was super easy! It literally took me just over a half hour from start to finish. .. honestly it took longer to find my wrenches.
After Dropping the exhaust down from the rubber hangers, I was surprised how easy the fish wires were to use. All of the holes lined up, and the bolts dropped into place. One of the simplest things I've done to my car ever! Almost ranks with putting gas in. LOL
I installed this hitch on my 2014 Impala w/out help. Took me almost 2hrs from start to finish. Not bad for a 80 year old man. Your video was right on. I backed the car up on metal ramps used for changing oil and used plastic crates under each muffler plus the strap to hold pipes from going too low. The crates let me rest the hitch on top of the mufflers so I could line up the bolts. I started a nut on one back bolt and went from there. Lining up one side at a time with a loose nut and once all nuts were on I tightened one and put washers on the rest and then went back and added washers to all.. Very easy for DIY.
Was easy to install since my 2001 Chevy mpala back end sits high didn't have to use my jack. I plan to use a bike rack so I can take my kids bike riding at the park!
Very easy installation ! I'm very pleased with the results . I no longer have to rely on my buddies to haul my dirt bikes to the trails. Thanks etrailer
Absolutely love the hitch super easy install just pull down the exhaust and bolt it in took no more than 30 minutes to fully complete. Lights were super easy just a clip on all had to do was remove the passenger tail light 10/10 would definitely recommend.
Installing the hitch was not difficult. All the bolts lined up good and no problem. Used a floor jack to help install I was by myself.
Installation was simple. Connector was easy. Good to go.
Great, solid product. Installation was very simple. the wire retainers for the bolts worked very well. Would recommend!
The hitch seems like top quality. It installed pretty easy. The hardest part was lifting and bolting it in place. It looks great though and doesn't stick out at all. I am satisfied!
Perfect fit, one of the easiest hitch installations I've done. Installed this hitch by myself in less than an hour. Did it by backing the vehicle on ramps instead of using a jack. Start by removing the muffler hanger bracket bolts. On my 2006 Impala a socket could not be used. I had to loosen the 2 bolts with a boxed end, take pressure off muffler and remove them by hand. Hint - tie the muffler out of the way once the bolts are removed. The supplied fish wires made snaking the carriage bolts and retainers a breeze. 4 were included, but I only used 1. I lined the bolts up with the holes on the hitch and held it up with a knee and my left had. Got a nut on each side to hold it and put washers and nuts on the remaining bolts. Once snug, remove the nuts used to hold it and reinstall with washer. Tighten the 6 nuts, untie the muffler, put the two bolts back in the hanger bracket and you're done! Great looking hitch and easy to install.

Working fine, no complaints.
fit was excellent, after a year have had no problems. Liked the wire tool sent with the hitch to thread the bolts through the frame as it made it easy to accomplish a otherwise impossible task. I haul my dirt bike on this hitch and got a adaptor to make it a 2" receiver and raise the height of the carrier but the adaptor drags on elevated surfaces. Have to be careful when I go up a raise in the road, especially elevated driveways. Did buy a hitch tightener which really help stabilize my motorcycle carrier. Would buy again for sure.
I have ordered a hitch and parts for a 2010 Chevy Impala and let me tell you..I couldn't be happier. The whole experience was fantastic; easy online transaction, perfect communication, well-packaged shipment and fast delivery. The product is excellent, it came with instructions which made installation easy and etrailer carries everything you need to finish your project. You can't go wrong buying from etrailer.

Excellent hitch! Well designed, concealedbarely can be seen. Ive watched the installation video and my mechanic was stunned how simple is was, especially the special tool included to help to guide the bolts into the nuts inside the chassis. awesome. It was worth it every penny spent. Strongly recommend Etrailer.com.
I have purchased from them before and was satisfied, this time was no different!
Very happy with the Draw-Tite hitch.
The hitch was easier to install than I thought it would be. The most difficult part was manhandling the hitch while trying to install the nuts on the bolts. A helper would have been a huge labor and time saver but I managed. It took approximately an hour to complete the job.
I am very happy with the results. I like it that the hitch is not very noticable when veiwing from the back. It seems to be very solid and well built. I would recommend this product.

Looking into getting a hitch for my 04 Impala to pull a 14 foot fishing boat with a 40 hp. Can this be done without hurting my car?? Dry weight of boat 1090Lbs.
Great product. Easy install. Great price! I have purchased several of these from e trailer and they fit perfect on all the cars I have put them on.

Still working great! I use it mainly for my bike rack. I love that it is tucked back and not very intrusive. But it’s still easy to get to to install the pin.
Install was super simple, definitely a two person job while one person holds the hitch while the other one installs the bolts. Hardest part was dropping the exhaust out of the way. Hitch does what I need it to do for a cad and it hides away nicely under the bumper. I also bought an adapter that sticks out further and goes to 2” to fit the rest of my hitch accessories.
The mounting holes did not match the holes in the chassis. I called customer support and they advised me to "pull real hard and stretch it to make it fit." Pull real hard? I was stunned speechless by the stupidity. Do you want a hitch that's so flimsy you can manually bend it? Ended up drilling new mount holes.

I appreciate your review. It is silly that your hitch receiver would arrive to you flexed. The reason why hitch receivers are flexible is in case of an accident, it would protect the rear of your vehicle. Please see the attached help article:
