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.

Fits & easy to install
The step by step video made the installation very easy. The hitch arrived very quickly to my house. I thought that it would be more hidden for a hidden hitch. Though it is impossible for it to be any more hidden than it is based on the structure of the undercarriage of the car.
My entire experience in ordering and installing a Hidden Hitch trailer hitch for my 2012 Subaru Outback was fantastic! My order was processed quickly and the hitch arrived sooner than originally anticipated. Installation was easy - although it took a bit longer than predicted because I needed to purchase a 1-1/8" bit to drill two access holes for installation. The hitch looks great and I saved a lot of money by doing it myself vs. having the dealer install a hitch. Thank you!
I'm sure the product itself is fine, but I wish etrailer.com added a Big Bold warning on this that "We strongly recommend buying the Class III for $10 more". I realized it too late i.e after I received the order that I should've gotten the Class III for almost the same money and exactly the same amount of installation effort/cost.
A local store said that they don't even carry the Class II because it doesn't sell as well.
So here BUY THE CLASS III HIDDEN HITCH INSTEAD OF THIS ONE.
Product showed up with all included parts and in perfect condition. All together it took me about 45 min to install by myself. The instructions were spot on for the installation. I installed the hidden hitch on a 2014 Outback and did it on the ground in the driveway. The only thing I would suggest is to put the car on jack stands to give you a little more room, but not neccessary. My favorite part is that the hitch is 4.5 inches under the rear bumper so as long as you don't have a reciever plugged into it there is no chance of walking behind the car and busting your shin on it. If you've even done that, you would know that this is a big plus. I would highly recommend this hitch for Outback owners.
beautiful fit. solid construction great price
Installed in about a hour by myself, would of been a little easier with someone to put on the nuts as I held it. Not bad overall. Came a little scratched up from shipping, but nothing to worry about.
Shipped quickly, I installed it by my self in 90 minutes. Looks great! The Video is very Helpful!
Excellent video on how to install. Went just as described. Would definitely purchase here again.
Part arrived quickly and with free shipping! It fit well and was only moderately difficult to attach. But that was not due to the part...it was due to the vehicle construction limitations. I'll try to take and send a picture in the near future.
Thanks,
Mike B.
HITCH INSTALLED EASILY. I FOUND IT EASIER TO REMOVE THE EXHAUST (TWO NUTS) THAN TO LEAVE IT HANGING. IT MADE IT EASIER TO DO THE DRILLING ETC. THAT WAS NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION.
This is a great product, it fit my Subaru Outback perfectly the holes lined up exactly. It was very easy to install and it came with all the hardware and instructions that you need. After reviewing the instructions and parts it took about one hour to install.
The hitch came as the sales rep. said it would. The install was done start to finish in just under one hour. The only different thing I did from the video was to simply remove the muffler to get it out of the way. Thanks again.
The web site made shopping, ordering, viewing instructions and product information very efficient, and user friendly.I got a very good deal on the products I ordered, and had my delivery even quicker than predicted.Installation was painless, and exactly as stated.Product quality and satisfaction are excellent.Nice job guys
Excellent product and the instructions were great. I decided to gain entry from the top and after pulling the panels off from the wagon area I was able to enlarge the existing holes and feed the retainer and bolt down from the top. This meant that I did not need to drill into the frame.
Received my hitch in less than 4 days! All the instructions and parts were included. This is a real sturdy hitch and should last the life of my 2012 Subaru Outback! The installation video really help. Thanks
Hitch installation was relatively easy. The T-One wiring harness was defective, but customer service replaced it immediately. Everything arrived in three days - Excellent. Would highly recommend etrailer.
Great product. George, Sam and Katherine at eTrailer.com kept me informed of the order progress right up to delivery. I opted to remove the rear bumper instead of drilling in the frame. Complete installation took 4 hours.
The web video made the installation very easy. Everything went together as shown. The quality of the hitch was excellent as expected. Especially like the little hints contained in the video, i.e. supporting the exhaust system with a strap when removing the exhaust hangers. Saved a bunch of dollars by doing the installation myself.
Ordering was easy.Delivery arrived on time. Instructions made the job easy.It took me about 90 minutes to install, working with the car on the ground. Everything fit together very well. The wiring harness was a cinch to install .I saved about 400 dollars vs factory hitch. I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO RECOMMEND YOUR PRODUCT . GREAT JOB.
This is the second hitch I have ordered and installed from etrailer. The online tutorials are excellent and extremely helpful. If you can turn a wrench, you can install a hitch and wiring from etrailer!
Delivery was quick. The installation on my 2011 Subaru Outback was as advertised and relatively painless for a novice. The instructions and wiring video were very helpful. I would definitely recommend etrailer for anyone else that is installing a hitch.
my wife's 2011 subaru outback. very fast shipping, and the parts are as described. installed it on the floor with the car jacked up on the driver side in 1 hour.
very easy install after watching video on etrailers site. the coolest thing on the install was having my wife under the car with me to put it in place at least for 5 min. she might be sophisticated, but i got that extra set of hands to line it up. lol.

What a deal! Ordered my hitch & wiring and two days later it arrived! The instructions/videos on this site and with the hitch made it a breeze to install. I'm 70 yrs. old and had NO problems. Just make sure you have a proper and sharp METAL hole saw and your tools laid out. My Outback is new, so, I just removed the muffler, then drilling and fishing the bolts were easy! It took about half an hr. for the actual install. My wife even helped. I highly recommend E-TRAILER for everyone and will be back for anything else I need.
