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.

Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch.

After having our hitch installed on our 2020 Toyota Highlander Platinum that we bought on etrailer.com and after reading all the reviews for it we were very surprised at how it looked after and would like others to know so they don’t make the same mistake we did. DON’T go by reviews alone ( read the fine print ) in this case the words “visual cross tube” we missed and even after discussing with phone sales person stating how happy we’re going to be with the clean look…again just basing that on other reviews from people with the same year and model we were very disappointed with the overall result. Also the sensor for closing the lift gate by foot no longer worked as well and was a surprise also as many reviewers with same vehicle we’re reporting it did work. Get what you pay for I guess buyer beware.

Thank for your review. This Draw-Tite hitch for the 2020 Toyota Highlander does have a visible cross tube. If you would like a hidden cross tube, I recommend the Curt hitch part # C99FR that fits the 2020 Toyota Highlander as long as its not the XSE model. In regards to compatibility with the hands free liftgate feature, what we have found is that it will limit use to placing your foot on either side of the receiver tube but it should not completely restrict use.

I ordered mine on 9-20-2024 and while viewing info on 9-27-2024 the price was cheaper than when I ordered. I paid 246.92 and a week later it is 234.14. Can I get a refund of the price difference?

It sounds like that the hitch may have arrived flexed. I do have an FAQ that can help with installing a flexed hitch. I would also recommend using a rust resistant paint to prevent rust from occurring.



by:

I was a little disappointed when I opened the box. There were several areas that the paint was chipped showing bare metal. I painted the spots to prevent rusting. I did call etrailer just to let them know. Better wrapping would solve this issue. The hitch did install without a (hitch) ha ha. Installed in less then one hour. It looks great on my SUV. Thanks etrailer.



by:
2020 Toyota Highlander

If it had been available. I would have or eferred the hitch that did not require installing a bracket to lower the exhaust. I don’t like the look of the lowered exhaust and I think the exhaust is louder.



by:

If it was still in stock I would rate it a 1, it’s definitely not the best hitch eTrailer sells.



by:

This model receiver protrudes from the bumper by 2-3". It does allow for the spare to remain in place without modification however. I have seen other brands that are flush with the bumper so that they are not a knee hazard, but not sure how the spare would fit them. Very happy with ease of installation and quality of construction.



by:
2022 Toyota Highlander

The product seems awesome. However, the delivery folks must have dragged the box which opened and scraped the paint of the metal in two locations totalling approx. 4 inches. Due to bare metal being exposed a can of black enamel paint was purchased and solved the problem.

This hitch is great and easy to install on your own.i just installed it took about 2 hours to complete using the video on the site. I definitely made a good choice!!

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2021 Toyota Highlander Hybrid with Full-Size Spare Tire
    The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT65MR will allow for the full size spare tire to be stowed under the vehicle on a 2021 Toyota Highlander. There are other options with a hidden cross tube which looks better but there won't be enough space for a full-size spare with these which is why you need the above hitch which has a visible cross tube.

  • Choosing a Class III Trailer Hitch for 2015 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited Platinum
    In terms of how the hitch would appear from the rear, the Draw-Tite # DT65MR and Curt # C13200 are practically identical. The receiver tube plus several inches of the crossbar on either side of the receiver tube will be visible from the rear. The Draw-Tite # 75156 has the receiver tube welded to the underside of the crossbar, which means the receiver tube will be visible, but the crossbar will be mostly concealed behind the bumper. It's very common for folks to be concerned about the appearance...

  • Recommended Towing Components For 2017 Toyota Highlander
    The Highlander or 4 Runners that have towing packages come with the hitch receiver and the wiring most of the time. They do not come with a ball mount however. Based on what you need to tow, you may find it less expensive to get a base version and add aftermarket parts since you will not need a brake controller for the small 15 foot trailer. That is my recommendation and I've put together a sample list of the components you would need on a 2017 Highlander. If you choose a different...

    First you will need a receiver, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT65MR for your 2021 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. This receiver will allow you to use a weight distribution hitch like the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37060ET which will provide you with a safer ride as it will allow you to better keep your Highlander level and will reduce trailer sway caused by wind and large trucks.

  • Trailer Hitch and Towing Equipment Recommendation for 2019 Toyota Highlander
    Although there are several different hitches available for your 2019 Highlander, the most popular and most often recommended are those with the concealed crossbars like the Curt Class III, part # C13394. The # DT65MR is also a fit for all models, but the hitch is designed differently so that just about the entire hitch is visible below the back bumper. If you don't mind the hitch being visible, it'd be a perfect choice plus it's also easier to install. If you'll be using the hitch for...

  • Compare Curt, Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitches for 2015 Toyota Highlander
    I would be happy to compare the trailer hitch options for your 2015 Toyota Highlander. As you mentioned you have three options, Curt # C13200, Draw-Tite # DT65MR, and Hidden Hitch # 87660. These are all Class III trailer hitches with a towing capacity of 6,000 lbs and a tongue weight capacity of 900 lbs. The difference in non-trailer loads does not affect the 2015 Highlander. Curt will require the use of a stabilizing strap for non-trailer loads on their Class I, Class II and some Class...

  • Parts Needed to Equip a 2017 Toyota Highlander for Towing
    The 5950 GVWR of your 2017 Toyota Highlander includes the total weight of the vehicle. When you are towing a trailer it is the sum of the vehicle weight (which includes passengers, cargo, and any other optional equipment installed on the vehicle) and the Tongue Weight (TW). If your fully loaded and ready-to-go trailer only weighs 3,400 lbs then you have 2,950 lbs to work with. You will want to double check your weights and your manual as well just to make sure and for any specific instructions. If...

  • Tongue Weight Capacity of Draw Tite Hitch # DT65MR
    The tongue weight capacity of the Draw Tite hitch part # DT65MR that you referenced is 900 lbs which is higher than what you said your Highlanders specs are. What this means is that the vehicle's 500 lb tongue weight capacity would be the overall capacity since you have to go by the lowest rated component as the overall capacity.

I have attached an image that shows the hitch installed on your 2017 Highlander with the spare tire still in place.

    All three of the hitches you referenced # DT65MR, and # C13200 are confirmed to fit your 2015 Toyota Highlander and would not stick out past the rear bumper of the vehicle. The # C58000 that you referenced is a great way to attach a 7-way bracket to the hitch. The plate you referenced that is on the Hidden Hitch and the Draw Tite is compatible with a 7-way bracket like the # 18138. For trailer wiring you will first need to start with a 4-way like the part # 56042, to convert the 4-way...

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900.

  • 2014 Toyota Highlander 2 Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Carrying Bike Rack
    Best option for your 2014 Toyota Highlander for a trailer hitch is the Draw Tite part # DT65MR. This will allow you to keep the full sized spare like you mentioned. Hidden Hitch and Draw Tite are the same but since Hidden Hitch is getting phased out I would recommend sticking with the brand that is sticking around. This will work well with your Thule Apex Swing bike rack too.

If you plan to use the hitch for carrying a cargo carrier or bike rack then the only other thing you need is that accessory and you're good to go.

    All of the hitches we carry for the 2015 Toyota Highlander like the # DT65MR have a slight bend in the crosstubes. This is so that the hitch can fit around the spare reasonably. Otherwise the hitch opening would be recessed further under the rear of the vehicle and would make removing the spare somewhat difficult if not impossible. I attached a picture that should help you see why the bends are there.
