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.

Easy installation. I have a brand new Crosstrek and did the install by myself laying in the driveway. I didn't just drop the muffler hangers, I removed the muffler.
Hitch seems solid and well made.
Got the May sale discount so price was excellent.

Wow a '25 Crosstrek is pretty brand spanking new! So happy to hear the install went well. Thanks for sharing what you did to make it easier - that's helpful info for others to know! Photo looks great :) Are you going to any mountain bike trails with the new hitch?



by:

I gave this 4 stars bc Draw- Tite could have supplied better hardware, longer bolts, and not weak zinc nuts. I feel that the 1/4 thick spacer is too thick as the hitch does not contact the vehicle all the way from front to rear. No matter how much sealer you trim away, rhe square spacer block still rests on the metal seam. It took a lot more torque to full compress the pieces, flattening the recessed metal rail. No way is 50ftlbs adequate.
I should have taken another posters advice, and bought better hardware before starting this install.
Overall the receiver itself is no doubt heavy duty. By boats are less capacity than the hitch provides. I'm more concerned with the way the receiver is mounted with mediocre hardware. Otherwise it's OK.
FWIW, the hitch is a bit low, even for the wilderness model.

@Adam Nice! Glad to hear! What kind of bike do you have?


by:

To start, I think the hitch is excellent! Well made & solid. Install directions in the install video are clear, and the little whips included in the kit to run the bolts and washers through frame are a GREAT help. I did the whole install by myself, although I would HIGHLY recommend having a second set of hands! I muddled through with the help of a floor jack/jackstands and a block of wood to hold up the muffler, with a scissor jack for fine positioning of the exhaust pipes to get the rubber hangers on and off. You WILL need lube for those! I pretty much just followed the video, but there are a couple things to take note of:

1. There is a weld point covered in putty adjacent to where the back of the hinge is bolted. depending on how much is there you may have to scrape some off for the mount to set in properly. (see pic)
2. The mounting bolt on the passenger side next to the bumper is hard to get to, as you see in the install video. You absolutely WILL need a swivel joint, and it is still difficult to get at especially if you want to torque it properly. The bolt is rather long, and I strongly suggest you use 3/8 in drives and extensions, with 6 point 11/16" impact sockets. Get shallow, deep and ESPECIALLY a semi-deep socket for that passenger bolt. I didn't have a semi deep, and ended up cutting about 3/16" off that bolt with a multitool once it was installed so I could tighten it down properly. Deep socket wouldn't fit in the angle, and shallow wouldn't reach the nut!..lol.
3. Using a universal joint when tightening a nut effects the torque. You will have LOWER actual torque than the reading that you set it to, IF you are using a swivel or universal. Here is a good video on how to compensate: https://youtu.be/pl7O7r7Rab0?si=bvCOuvPqNR_kysK9

Finally, I'd like to thank the people at etrailer for responding so quickly to a couple issues I had with my order. They straitened it out and made sure I was happy. Thanks y'all! Would definitely order from these people again.

Subaru XV Crosstrek

Overall, the hitch is great. It’s heavy-duty, and was relatively simple to attach to my Crosstrek (there were two of us working on attaching the hitch, so it seemed simple). It’s very sturdy, and does the job. For reference, I have only used this for a bike rack, but I wouldn’t hesitate to use it to haul something heavier.

Has served well for the past year. The shop I used for the install had no issues and been towing a bike hitch with it for a full season. It’s on an Impreza so I don’t tow much else

by:

The hitch is well-constructed and relatively easy to install. The accompanying video tutorial is very helpful for the installation process. I am impressed with the ordering process, especially the step-by-step updates I received. My hitch arrived on time, and I am very happy with the product.

One of the easiest hitches to install…and I’ve installed a lot of them! The bolt wires are genius! Price was good!



by:

Fast delivery! Install went well except couldn't get a socket -and therefore torque wrench- on the rear passenger-side nut. No room for a universal swivel owing to the deep socket required on the excessively long bolt threads. Cranked it with a wrench to what felt like the recommended 50 ft lbs. Actual torque: who knows. Backed up all 4 nuts with lock nuts (7/16" 14 thread). Used shallow height lock nuts on the front two bolts. Need to rethink the one rear problem child. A torque wrench adapter looks promising. Happy with the rack though!



by:
2024 Subaru Crosstrek

Nice hitch. Install was easy. I'd say less than an hour. I got help holding it up to start the nuts. It does hang down a bit on the Widerness edition. Subaru's hitch may be up a bit more, not sure. I was quoted $1500 from the dealer though so I'll deal with it.



by:
2018 Subaru Crosstrek

Your installation videos sold me on your product, but the actual installation went even easier than I envisioned. The Draw-Tight trailer hitch worked perfectly for my vehicle.

And after paying for trailer hitches to be installed for many vehicles, this is the first time I installed one myself and saved a significant amount doing so. For anyone with basic mechanical skills, a torque wrench and a basic socket set I highly recommend your company and the hitch and wiring harness I installed.

Accompanying photos might help someone else.

Quite pleased with hitch, perfect for my Crosstrek.



by:

This hitch is very well made, very solid, and capable of towing more than my car will handle. So far, though, I have only used it to hold a bike rack, which is my primary reason for buying this rack. I no longer need to lift bikes to the rooftop. I like that it also will accept 1/2 inch and 5/8inch hitch pins. After a year, it does have a couple rust spots underneath on some sharp angles where the paint has flaked off.

Solid hitch. Ive used it so far only to attach my Kuat bike rack. I did take the bikes up some rugged 4WD roads and it was very tight. Kept the bikes from moving around at all. Quite pleased so far. Should have ordered the wiring harness when I ordered the hitch.

The wiring harness I recommend for the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek is Tekonsha 4-pole flat part # 118467. The Tekonsha brand has a reliable reputation and the converter boxes seem to last longer compared to other brands.

After shopping around went with the Draw-Tite hitch based on reviews and great price from etrailer.com. Hitch arrived earlier than estimated and installation was simple with the provided instructions. The installation videos were key in making the install go smoothly with a couple tips that came in handy. Couldn't be happier with the finished product which is providing more than enough support/security for a 2" Yakima Holdup bike rack

A year later and hitch is as solid as when installed. No hassle, no worries.



by:

Works great, looks good. I installed it myself with the use of a floor jack to hold most of the weight up while I fiddled with the mounting hardware. I've only used it for light duty operations on my 2019 Crosstrek - bike carrier, cargo carrier and truck bed extender used vertically to hold the back of a long kayak. 1 year later hardware is still tight and no rust. 5 stars.

Great hitch, about two hours start to finish. The hitch is very strong but the car is not. DO NOT TRY TO PULL ANYTHING!!! Great as a bicycle or cargo rack receiver but again this is not the vehicle to use for towing anything as the unibody frame the hitch bolts up to is very thin and I fear it will just break free if you stress it to much. Again a great hitch if you are not going to pull a trailer. Only used a handful of wrenches 14mm X 2 and 11/16" for the main bolts. I removed the muffler altogether rather than do it the way shown in the video of lowering it on a ratchet strap. Only two bolts and three rubber hangers. I did not use ant type of lube on the rubber muffler hangers as oil and rubber are not a good mix. With just a little effort the muffler came loose. The other thing that makes this hitch stand out from the other options is that you do not have to drill or enlarge any of the original holes in the cars frame. VERY GOOD FOR A BICYCLE OR CARGO RACK BUT DO NOT TRY TO PULL ANYTHING BUT A VERY LIGHT TRAILER!!!! THE CAR IS NOT MADE FOR IT.

According to Subaru, the Crosstrek has a 1500 lb towing capacity. Although the hitch has a higher capacity, youll be limited to the capacity of the lowest rated component which is the vehicle in this case.

Installed the hitch in just under an hour. Went on just as the instructions said it would. Everything from the ease of ordering, to the on time delivery to the videos and instructions was great. Would guy recommend etrailer!

One year review , first thanks etrailer. for Followup regarding product purchased from you and to follow up a whole year after purchase is amazing to me.. it shows that you care about the products you sell ! The draw tite hitch I Installed on my Subaru crosstrek has performed as intended : from pulling my boat , to pulling logs to be cut into firewood , to pulling log splitter around , to pulling a buddies truck out of a ditch lol ..I also want to point out in NY winter roads are heavily salted to remove snow and ice and cars and trucks rust away and this hitch has yet to show any signs of rust.. thanks again for asking .. hope this review helps

I’m very happy with the Draw-Tite 2” trailer hitch receiver installed on a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek.
My main reason for choosing it over the competitors was the added strength, even thought all I use it for is a bike rack it’s good to know if I ever need to tow anything the receiver could handle it. All aspects of the the receiver show quality in assembly with a durable coating. Installation was easy! Didn’t have to lift the vehicle, just basic tools.
Shipping was FAST too!



by:

The Drawtite rack I purchased from etrailer is pretty awesome! I bought it instead of some of the others offered for three reasons. 1) Tongue weight and trailer weight specifications are substantially higher. 2) It tucks up really close to the rear valence so I don't lose clearance, but also provides extra protection, a bit like a rock tail (not that I am likely to ever need it...). 3) It is a super sturdy piece of kit. I mean the thing looks and feels like a piece of ballistic hardware.

Working with etrailer was a great experience. Their videos explaining the features and installation for all of the receiver hitches available for my CrossTrek made it easy to choose the right one for my needs. Ordering was simple. Pricing was competitive. Shipping was fast, and free is I had wanted. I opted for the $14.95 3 to 5 day shipping option and my hitch arrived in 4 days, which made it easy for me to schedule some time on a friends lift. (Yes, it is nice to have a friend who has a lift in his garage... I highly recommend that you get one... ;-)

The only thing I would recommend to etrailer is that they do a better job of wrapping the frame attachment flanges for shipping. Both flanges broke through the bottom of box. Not a big deal because the thing isn't going bend from being dropped, but it is a little bit of a bummer to have my new hitch have scratches in the paint.

I highly recommend both DrawTite and etrailer.

    The best hitch for a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek is the etrailer item # e98912. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Subaru with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 525 lbs maximum tongue weight. The reason this is the best hitch is because the crosstube mounts completely behind the rear bumper. This leaves only the 2" receiver visible. Not only does this help with ground clearance but it also looks much better. On top...
