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. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers.

Fully welded vehicle trailer hitch is strong and durable. Draw-Tite's Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry standards. The combination of an e-coat base and a powder coat finish provides excellent rust protection.Almost perfect for 2023 Acadia SLT. Only complaints are the facia bumper brackets can't ve re-installed and part of the facia rubs against the connector mounting bracket on hitch.
Install video is great which gave me more confidence doing the install myself. Just wish the fact about the facia bracket not being re-installed was made clear in the video. I chose the DrawTite over the others because I didn't want to cut heat sheild and with the DrawTite, hitch cover can be reinstalled without the need to cut.
I give etrailer and it's videos a solid 10! Very, very helpful. Installing hitch was not too bad and only about 90 min. to install. 4 stars because I think Draw Tite (known for excellent products) should have addressed the 4 screws that can't be reinstalled to the bottom of the fascia.Why didn't Draw Tite add a plastic or sheet metal mount to the hitch to reinstall those four screws and properly secure the fascia? Charge 75.00 more? It would then be a 5 star complete hitch.
This thing looks like the factory assembly. I had it installed by myself in a matter of an hour using the video on the website. I have a 2022 Acadia. The only issue I had was this hitch requires removal of the brackets that hold the bottom of the bumper cover in place. There is no provision on the hitch to hold the bumper cover. I used a bunch of zip ties to hold the cover to the hitch.
Installed on a 2021 Chevy Blazer Premiere overall nice install just watch mutable videos on bumper removal. The directions call for removal of the two facia brackets that hold the bottom of the bumper cover (facia) instead of keeping them off I trimmed the brackets to fit around the hitch and reinstalled them as you can see in the pictures. I also ordered the wiring harness from here and it was a direct fit install couldn’t have gone better. Just a fyi you will need to trim the facia where the hitch receiver is to fit properly but that’s not a big deal because if you plan on keeping the cover on when not in use you will never see it. Just like OEM
I followed the video on YouTube and the installation went swimmingly! The next day, I used it to haul our small trailer and had a bunch of furniture on it. I didn't have any problems at all! Overall a great experience.
Very easy to install hitch and lights.
Trailer hitch is very sturdy and well made. I'm not a mechanic and the installation seemed intimidating. Watched their [online] instructional, took my time, and came out perfect!
I ordered the trailer hitch thinking it would be a easy install, but when I read the installation instructions which were very vague and watched several videos I found it was a very difficult installation process. It required removing the entire rear bumper assembly in order to install the hitch. After reviewing the difficult process I called the help center only to learn that there was another hitch that was easier to install. I requested to return the item and ordered the new hitch only to find that it was going to cost me $[XX] shipping to return the first hitch and I am still not sure if the new one was ordered. Not happy that I had to pay the shipping cost to return the fort hitch and unsure if the second one was shipped.

I am sorry to hear your experience with us hasnt been a good one. I sent your information to our customer service team to confirm with you on that new order.
To install this hitch you must eliminate two bumper support bracket which leave your bumper flapping going down the road .
I honestly can't believe that someone would design and sell this product. Poor experience all around from missed delivery date to bad design

For a hitch that installs differently for a 2023 GMC Acadia you can consider part # e36AR. It is still an involved install that will mean the heat shield must be modified or trimmed for hitch installation. It does not require the bumper support bracket to be modified.
It does its job as it tows and was an easy installation. My only complaint is that the hitch receiver is just slightly larger than others I've had and any ball mount I have tried does not fit snug. This creates a very loud banging whenever I tow anything. I have had to utilize clamps to secure it tighter.

It can be common to experience rattling when using ball mounts or other hitch accessories. You mentioned that you used clamps and I wondered if you meant a clamp style like part # RSCP. If yes, I wondered if it fit well with the receiver since this one is a bit short when it comes to the distance from the cross bar to the receiver end. A different option would be part # GY88XR which is good for tighter space.
I am so excited and amazed at this product. The dealership wanted to charge me $462.34 to order it, and $429.00 to install it. $891.39, and that doesn't include tax and fees. I must say YouTube is my very best friend as I install the hitch and harness in less than an hour on my 2017 Acadia, and saved [About $750]. I will order all my needed items from Etrailer. The order can within four days. Thank you and if I could give 10 stars I would. CET Thomas, Aka Batman, Byron, GA
Excellent choice, installed in 1 hr and 10 min, I stressed about removing the fascia, but it was easy , the only drawback was the 2021 Acadia has two support brackets that have to be removed, and cannot be reinstalled, leaving the fascia above the hitch loose, but I will create a support myself, no problem, local Chevy dealer wanted 400 dollars to do what I did in just over an hr,
I installed this hitch pretty effortlessly, however, there are two small brackets/braces that are attached to the body one end and the other end is connected to the bottom of the of the bumper to keep it from moving, and keep nice and secure. These brackets are not able to be connected once you install the hitch and is left pretty lose. If that is not an issue to you, then I would recommend this hitch.

Yes, the fascia support tab is no longer installed after the hitch is attached. We do recommend using zip ties, like part # DW05726-25.
Installed fairly easily in my 2019 Acadia. Rob's install video was great and easy to follow - never had a doubt as to what I needed to do at each step. By myself, it was 3 or 4 beer job with some creative use of ratchet straps in place of an extra set of hands. Love how this hitch sits higher than Curt one.
Awesome customer service, had a slight problem, was taken care if immediately--
The hitch requires you to permanently remove two of the bumper supports which does leave it a little flimsy.
I installed the 76023 hitch receiver on my 2023 Acadia AT4. Overall I'm very happy with the product and the price. The installation went easier than I expected. The fit is good and I'm happy that I can retain my factory hitch cover to hide the receiver when not in use. My only complaint is that there is no accommodation for the removal of two brackets that were in place to stabilize the bumper cover. Following the instructions and video results in a very unstable and floppy bumper cover. Not acceptable to me. I had to fabricate a small bracket from some scrap steel I had and drill and tap some holes to secure everything. After that, everything is solid. I believe this should have been planned and a bracket provided to replace the removed parts during install. If that had been included, I would have given five stars.
Installed on 2017 GMC Acadia, easy follow instructions and how to videos. Here’s the finished installation. Decided to reinstall the rear hitch cover with the cut out from the detailed instructions.
Very fast service
Here is the pictures of my installed hitch. Installation was very easy per your video. Thank you
thanks again for the help. Hitch fits well on my 2020 Acadia. There are some slight differences from the older generation as far as installation but all is well. Thanks again...
Very happy with the hitch. Perfect fit on my 2017 Acadia. Easily installed in an hour with no prior experience. Will definitely order from etrailer again if needed. Install video was a tremendous help!
Solid, heavy duty reciever. Delivered fast. Tricky installation if you don't have body experience. Looks and fits well if done with care.
Easy to install once you get to that st ep
just got done with the install, i did it all by myself, in under 2 hours. the video instructions were GREAT! Thanks so much, I can't wait to hook up the trailer...

Great Hitch. I only use for a bike rack but I load that rack with 4 bikes and one being electric. No problems - all good!
