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.

Hidden Hitch arrived in perfect condition, and eTrailer upgraded my shipping for free. Wow - impressive customer service.
I'm a car idiot, so it took me about 2-2.5 hours to install - hardest part was removing muffler hangers and loosening rusted-on bolts in car frame - liquid wrench helped.
Reasonably priced and sturdy.Manufacturer didn't take the time to clean of the weld spray on the outside and didn't deburr the inside of receiver before painting. Had to file around opening to slide in ball mount. So much for the Hidden Hitch Rust Resistant coating. Also didn't realize the receiver was open through the back, so much for the Rubber Trailer Hitch Receiver Tube Cover that I bought, nothing keeps the dirt and gravel from coming in the back.
Dissappointed w/ ballmount fitInstalled hitch yesterday and found installation was as documented (I recommend an extra pair of hands though). The hitch fit well and the quality seemed top notch until I inserted a ballmount. I am now disappointed with the hitch because ballmounts fit so loosely (I have tried two ballmounts). Even the Hidden Hitch logo rubber hitch cover fits loosely, so loosely that I expect it will fall out during routine driving. I don't look forward to towing my trailer knowing how badly the ballmount will be banging around inside the receiver. Hopefully I will be able to fabricate some shims to alleviate the problem.
Honestly, there's nothing bad to say about it. It's been installed for a year and has towed my 2,500lb (loaded) pop up camper dozens of times with zero issues. It's seen plenty of salt this winter and there's no rust anywhere, nor has the paint chipped.
All in all I'm very pleased with the hitch and etrailer.com too.
I am Maryann's husband, Gary, for whom she ordered the Hidden Hitch. I am very pleased with the product. It was delivered within a short time and carefully packaged. The hitch is of very high quality and strength. The installation video's that were provided on your website were very helpful during installation. The only trouble I experienced was trying to work the rather large hitch into the tight space between the spare tire well and the frame/exhaust system. Not much that can be done about that; it is a matter of trial and error until you find the best angle to allow the unit to slip into place. I am very happy with the whole experience of this transaction with etrailer.
The hitch and wiring has been used for light hauling, but mainly for an amateur radio antenna mount. A hitch for the receiver has an antenna socket, and it holds a large antenna very well. It was installed by my auto dealer, and everything was top-notch. I appreciate the fit and ease of the wiring harness. I couldn't be more pleased.
Installed on a 2008 Outback Wagon. The bolt holes did not quite line up. They were close enough that I believe it is a Quality Control issue, not a design flaw; something wound up angled in a little too much. As a result, I had to loosen the bumper brackets to get the receiver into position, then a pry bar to spread the receiver mounts about 1/4" to get the bolts back in. Photo shows the bumper bracket with the indicated bolt removed, front of car is at top of page.and the spare tire pan is on the right. The receiver needs to fit inside the angle of the bracket, but since it was too narrow, it did not (at least, without forcing!) I should have returned it, but really needed the hitch this weekend. Also, in addition to unhooking the 4 muffler hangers, I also unhooked the pipe hanger to allow the mufflers to drop low enough to maneuver the receiver into position.
Maybe there was something unique to my car, but I doubt it. To be fair, I did not avail myself to any guarantee process. I have no problem with eTrailer, and may even try Hidden Hitch again. But all else being equal, I will choose a competitor in the future.
Very well done. Thanks.

Great product, it was easy to instal and looks great on my outback. i used it last weekend to take some bikes on a road trip, and it worked great. i love it
Awesome product. Exactly as expected and great shipping.
Installed perfectly on my 2007 Legacy outback. The video was a great help.
Installation was straight forward and it fit perfectly. Service and delivery was excellent!
Hitch sits too low on the 2005 Legacy gt wagon and I'm at stock height. Scrapes when going up a steep driveway
Fits very well. Instructions could be a little more clear. Good mechanic should have no problem. I did it on the ground with no lift. Looks ok but very visible under the bumper. Most of that is the cars fault though. Would buy again for sure.
Easy to install as advertised. Hardest part was removing the exhaust hangers. All in all, it tooko about 45 minutes to complete the job.
