Draw-Tite Tested Tough

Draw-Tite Tested Tough

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.


etrailer.com Technical Support

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.

Overall great experience. Great product, quick delivery, easy install and great support!

Easy installation. The vidoes are a great resource! Going to buy a hitch for my dads truck now!



by:

The installation was very easy, which is not always the case when adding something to a vehicle.
We have not towed anything yet, but it appears to be just what we need.
Delivery, payment, and equipment have all been top-notch.



by:

Great product, I would reccomend watching the video before installing yourself. I completed by myself in about an hour. Working great so far.



by:
2012 Dodge Journey

Hitch arrived much earlier than expected and was easy to install. Looks great on my 2012 Dodge Journey and funtions as advertised. I definately recommend using some WD-40 to loosen the rubber grommets when lowering the muffler.



by:

The hitch fit perfect and was easy to install. Only took 35min for the hitch once the exhaust was out of the way. Took an hour for the exhaust. The special tool would have helped. Hitch looks great under the vehicle. Would recommend this product.



by:

Best group of people I've had dealings with for a long time. I would recomend ETRAILER to any and people needing a great quality hitch.



by:

Draw titeThe order shipped extremely quickly and my expectations of the whole experience were greatly exceeded. I could not be happier with my order and I look forward to towing and hauling a lot in the future with my new hitch. Thanks to etrailer I can get the hauling a little sooner because I got my shipment so quickly.

Hitch was delivered very promply. Installation was very easy, I didn't even jack up the car or put it up on ramps. Wireing kit was very easy to install. Hitch and wireing kit had everything needed, I didn't have to purchase anything else. E-trailer also provides videos with step by step installation on what ever car or truck you are installing hitch on. I installed mine on a 2012 Dodge Journey.

It is tight, but it is relatively easy to access the mounting locations on this vehicle, even when sitting on the ground.


by:

This was the easiest receiver hitch I have ever installed. The product info and installation video made this a quick and easy install. This installation did not require any special tools or tough installation and this will allow me to tow a small boat and trailer. Once the hitch was installed it looks great and professionally installed. Everything I needed to install it was included and the fish wire for the bolts is genius. I highly recommend this hitch and etrailer as well.

great with no modifications. It truly was a plug and play operation, requiring no changes to the basic vehicle, which means that it can be removed later without issues. It took a little more time to get installed than I had expected, but a lot of that was because of how particular I was on hiding

2015 Dodge Journey

Outstanding!!!... and i mean outstanding customer service and fast 3 day delivery included in price. Trailer hitch fit my 2015 dodge journey perfectly. On top of all this, there is a step by step instructional video on how to install the hitch. By far, one of the best online purchase experiences ever. I recommend etrailer.com 110%!!!! Simply outstanding, professional and thorough service!

Javier hi, I would like to hear your experience regarding the hitch on a 2015 journey crossroad with the chrome bar on the back fender. My journey crossroad has it and I am afraid that it could be damaged by the hitch. Thanks for your comments regarding this matter.Manny.

2015 Crossroad? Great thanks I have the same vehicle and have been looking for a hitch.



by:

I was skeptical about installing this myself, but went for it. I was surprised on how easy the installation was. Fits great. The only thing that would make this kit better is a tool to remove exhaust hangers. The exhaust hangers were a pain without proper tool. Still I would purchase it again if necessary, and definitely recommend it.

Still looking great, now issues



by:

I am very pleased with the hitch. Along with the hitch, I ordered the ball mount and the wiring harness. Delivery was on point.
I was going to have my mechanic install the hitch, but after watching your video a few times, I decided to tackle the job myself.
It did take me about three hours to complete the installation. Of course in your video, it's all done with a lift which I didn't have.
Followed the video and the installation came out great. Great product and video to referred to when needed.



by:

Works great



by:

The hitch was more heavy duty and rugged than I expected. Took about an hour to install. All the hardware was there and everything lined up perfectly. The how to video for my make and model of vehicle really made installation easier. Differently would recommend e-trailers hitches.

  • Determine if 2014 Dodge Journey has LED or Incandescent Taillights for Trailer Hitch and Wiring
    Easiest way to tell is to watch the lights illuminate. If they come on immediately with basically zero transition between off and on and are almost painful to look at you have LEDs. If you can watch the bulb get brighter and looking at the light doesn't hurt your eyes you would have incandescents. Also if the bulb is round and has that old school style of wiring in it where there is two vertical wires and a couple horizontal wires that run between them that is incandescent. For a hitch...

  • Rated Towing Capacity of 2010 Dodge Journey with 2.4L Engine
    The online owner's manual for the 2010 Dodge Journey indicates (page 367) that the 2.4L version can tow up to 1000-lbs and this includes up to 5 persons and luggage. It also states that the most the vehicle and trailer together can weigh (the GCWR or gross combined weight rating) is 6000-lbs. Since the curb weight of the vehicle is a bit under 4000-lbs this suggests the car could tow close to 2000-lbs. This is shy of the 2600-lbs but not by a whole lot. I cannot recommend you do anything...

  • Can 2014 Dodge Journey Tow More Than 1,000 lbs Safely
    If the owner's manual for your 2014 Dodge Journey has your max trailer towing listed at 1,000 lbs then I don't advise going over that because that's what Dodge has tested and approved for your vehicle. If you do tow more than that and something is damaged you would most likely be voiding your warranty. For towing equipment I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 75648 because it has a great look on your vehicle plus it includes a welded-on tab so you can use a bracket like part # 18144 to...

    The Hidden Hitch, part # 87487 and Draw-Tite # 75648 are manufactured by the same company so are essentially the same hitch and the measurements are identical. When installed, these hitch have a distance of 1-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the rear bumper. The Curt Hitch, part # C13201, measures 3 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the rear bumper.

  • Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Dodge Journey AWD
    Your 2017 Dodge Journey is one of the vehicles for which two types of hitch are made, both a smaller 1-1/4-inch Class II hitch and a 2-inch Class III. In such cases we always recommend the 2-inch option since it will be compatible with more hitch-mount accessories and because it will offer a higher weight rating without much more additional cost. The Class III hitch I recommend for your Journey AWD is the etrailer # e98845 because it will offer easier installation than others and because...

    As long as your 2018 Dodge Journey is not an SXT with AWD then the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Round Tube Receiver Hitch # 75648 will fit your vehicle. If you let me know what you will be using this trailer hitch for I can make additional recommendations if necessary.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch to Pull Jayco Jay Feather
    Thanks for the info on what trailer you are getting and there is a great option for a weight distribution system to use with your 2009 Dodge Journey and 2015 Jayco Jay Feather x17z. I highly recommend the the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0600 because it will keep you level and control trailer sway with its spring bars, uses clamp-on brackets so no drilling is required for installation, and allows backing up with the system in place, which is not possible with all weight distribution...

  • Trailer Hitch To Carry Cargo Carrier on 2019 Dodge Journey
    The hitch that you will need for the cargo carrier on the 2019 Dodge Journey is Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit part # 75648 because it provides about 2 inches more ground clearance then the other options. Good hitch clearance is important when carrying a cargo carrier because you a less likely to scrape the ground with the carrier in low ground clearance situations. I have attached an installation video for your reference. For the cargo carrier I recommend Curt...

False is another word that I would use, as you can see by the accompanying photos and linked installation video of the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75648 being installed on a 2016 Dodge Journey Crossroad that has LED lights.

  • Recommended Hitch and Towing Equipment for 2015 Dodge Journey Crossroads
    The style of taillights your Journey has won't have any bearing on which hitch will fit. Of the hitches that are available for your Journey, I'd recommend the Curt Class III receiver hitch, part # C13201. The hitch is compatible with Crossroads Journey. The Curt Class III is the lease expensive of the three Class III alternatives, but since Curt makes a high quality product, you'll sacrifice nothing by going with a lower cost hitch. If you'll be using the hitch for towing purposes, you'll...

  • Is Fascia Trimming Required to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 2010 Dodge Journey RT
    I did some checking and Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75648 does not indicate that any fascia trimming is required to install it on a 2010 Dodge Journey RT. The hitch is listed as a fit for all models of the 2010 Dodge Journey. We have also not heard any customer complaints about rear fascia trimming on RT or any models. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch...

  • Trailer Hitch Availability for 2017 Dodge Journey SXT

We have an install video for this hitch that I attached for you to check out as well.

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for E-Bikes on 2017 Dodge Journey
    Since E-bikes are heavier you have to go with a hitch mounted option like the Thule EasyFold part # TH903202 which is specifically designed for the heavier E-bikes. So for a hitch confirmed as a fit for your 2017 Dodge Journey you'd want the Draw Tite part # 75648 as it does not require the use of a stabilizer strap like the Curt hitch does when carrying a bike rack.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Compatibility For a 2013 Dodge Journey
    For your 2013 Dodge Journey I recommend using the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76225. This class III receiver uses a concealed cross tube for a clean appearance. As this is a custom fit hitch you will not have to drill any holes to mount the receiver. The rear bumper fascia will require some trimming to fit properly. It is rated for 525lbs of tongue weight and 3,500lbs towing. If you will need to tow a large trailer with a weight distribution hitch, you will need to use...

I recommend Draw-Tite # 75648 which includes all required mounting hardware and instructions. It bolts on without need for welding.

This wiring harness will plug up to existing OEM wiring plugs on your Journey. If you are only needing the mounting hardware for the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Class III Hitch, # 75648, then use part # RHK.

This particular hitch is designed for certain model years of the Dodge Journey and it will not line up with the frame rails on the Dakota.

The install is pretty involved so for an easier to install hitch the Draw Tite hitch part # 75648 is another option to consider. It still has great towing capacities but the crosstube is visible.

    The design of the rear of the two vehicles you mentioned is different enough that the same hitch would not fit both vehicles. The overwhelming majority of trailer hitches are vehicle specific, they are designed to fit only one particular vehicle. For a 2011 Caravan, I would recommend the Draw-Tite Class III receiver, part # 75579. For a 2011 Dodge Journey, the Draw-Tite Class III, part # 75648 would be my recommendation.

  • Availability of Concealed Trailer Hitch for 2016 Dodge Journey
    Because of the close proximity of the spare tire to the rear bumper, it isn't possible to conceal the hitch crosstube behind the bumper of your 2016 Dodge Journey, therefore all the hitches we offer would have the hitch mostly visible from the rear of the vehicle. Of the available hitches, the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13201 would be the least visible, because the cross tube bends upward on either side of the receiver tube, so it's a bit more concealed than the Draw-Tite or Hidden...
