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. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers. The one-on-one, personal service you'll receive comes straight from an expert in the towing and automotive field. We've installed it, we've wired it and we've towed with it, so whatever your question, we can answer it.

I am still very happy with the product



by:

etrailer ROCKS! They have great products at an even better price, a super website and fast shipping. I purchased my previous hitch from them and knew not to bother looking anywhere else. Being a visual learner I LOVE their video tutorials. The hitch and wiring harness were easy to install, though it always seems to take me longer than their estimate given I am not using air tools, etc.

Hitch was a perfect fit and just right for my little boat trailer. Very satisfied with it.

Why doesn't the tube extend the 2" or 3". You have to use the extender to use a simple bike rack

The design of the draw-tite hitch part 36642 is a bit recessed under the vehicle. An extender will cut your tongue weight capacity by 50 percent. If you do not want to cut your tongue weight the best solution is to get a bike rack with a longer shank. The Thule hitching post pro is designed with 13-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole and the closest part of the carrier. This will give you enough clearance to use it on your GMC Terrain without an extender.



by:

The video with step-by-step instructions worked out perfectly with no hiccups everything was as described in the description before purchase and installing the hitch and wiring harness was very easy and done in a timely manner highly recommended!

After reading instructions and watching the video it took about 1hour to install the hitch and trailer hitch
It was the easiest trailer hitch and wireing kit I have used
installed on a 2018 GMC Terrain

The hitch works as I had hoped, My bike rack fits well.

The shipping was very prompt,,the product is of a very good quality and installed very easily. I was/am very satisfied and would recommend this to anyone considering a trailer hitch.

Very easy to order on website. Fast shipping stop. And I like the videos that give you a ideal of installing the hitch. I was very happy to see that the hitch fit perfect with clearance for the touchless hatch operation.

Installation was exactly as shown on the instruction video. SWEEET!

Shipping was fast, product fitup great, but it looked used or slid around during or before shipping. Powder coating flaked off, and weld beads were very poor.



by:

This is the second one I have bought from this company the price is fair and the delivery time is fast I will buy from them again in the future.



by:
2019 Chevrolet Equinox

My hitch arrived within a few days of placing order. Was very easy to install. Watched a very good YouTube video on the install. This is on a 2019 Equinox. The hitch is a bit lower than the one I had on a 2017 Equinox, but works with my bicycle rack fine.

My hitch is used primarily to hold my bicycle rack and is working fine after one year



by:
2018 Chevrolet Equinox

I ordered and installed the 1 1/4 inch trailer hitch on my 2018 Equnox mainly to tow my 16 ft. Bass boat. I did this because I have had several cars in the past and have always used a 1 1/4 inch hitch and have never had any trouble. All of my inserts are 1 1/4 inch. Now I am reading all the specs for the hitch I installed and find that it is barely heavy enough to fit my towing needs. For the same price I could have installed a 2 inch hitch and not had the light towing restrictions. My only option is to purchase and install the heavier hitch and try to resell my present one.



by:

Trailer hitch was just what I needed. This is the second hitch purchased from etrailer. The first one I installed. This one I had a mechanic install as I had health issues. It works well with my bike rack. The kit was complete and easy to install. Best done with a helper to hold it in place while you get the bolts started.



by:

The tow package arrived in a timely manner and in good condition. Installation went well thanks to the videos the company provided. The only issue I had was that the muffler rattled against the hitch no matter what I did. I rechecked my installation and followed suggestions from the retailer. I ended up using a universal muffler hanger that allowed me to lower the exhaust 1/2". This solved the problem, and the hitch has performed well over the last year and still looks great. I have bought from this company before and will buy from them again in the future.



by:

I bought this hitch for a new vehicle to use with a bike rack I already owned. I bought that from you, also. When the hitch was delivered I called because the box was open. Someone stayed on the line with me while I checked to make sure nothing was missing. Great service. When my friends asked where I got my bike rack and hitch, I always tell them trailer.



by:

Hitch was so easy to Install with the detailed instructions I got. I did it myself- with no helper! After using it for a 2-bike rack about 30 times in the past year, it’s still doing great. I use the long bolt instead of the cotter/linchpin and I have no rattle or excel movement. Very satisfied with this purchase.



by:
2018 Chevrolet Equinox

This is a very solid trailer hitch. It fit my 2018 Equinox perfectly and it was easy to install. It only took about 45 minutes to do the complete job and its hidden profile easily keeps the receiver away from obstructions. After one year, it's still in prime condition.



by:
2018 Chevrolet Equinox

The hitch is very solid and easy to install. It fits quite well and much of it is concealed so it looks good too. Shipping was very fast and the service at etrailer has always been good. My only issue is it was very scratched and there was peeling paint on arrival (I uploaded one picture showing some of the scratching). It wasn't due to shipping but packaged that way. I had to buy some spray paint and paint it myself because there was a fair amount of bare metal showing that I didn't want rusting. On the underside of the hitch there was also a lot of slag from welding. Not a huge deal but it shows that not a lot of care was taken when it was welded. I'm sure the hitch will work just fine but I'd be a lot happier if it hadn't arrived all scratched up and have welding slag all over the bottom of it.



by:

I recently purchased a new car which did not include a hitch. When I called to place the order the sales person was extremely helpful in guiding me to the exact one I needed. I am using the hitch to carry a bike rack. The hitch is excellent quality and easy to install. I was happy to see the hardware included hole wires which is an important part of the installation. The instructions are also very thorough. I would not hesitate to order from etrailer again, or to recommend it to a friend.



by:

The hitch was very dusty like it's been in warehouse a long time and in a beat up semi open box. I was worried it was damaged but lucky it was not. It had all bolts and parts. It seems like over kill on a heavy hitch for a class II hitch.



by:

Have not put the hitch on as of today. Looks like it is a well made hitch , price was very low ,much lower then other sellers. Thanks

The hitch went on as shown in video. Have used it and have got good use out of it, I would buy from this company again. Thanks...

We have bought many hitches from etrailer.com and have been very satisfied. I submit an order and a few days later they are delivered. We only buy from etrailer.com because they have demonstrated to me that all of our needs are important to us and them.

  • Curt or Draw-Tite Class II Trailer Hitch for 2020 GMC Terrain
    Between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C98CR and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36642 that fit your 2020 GMC Terrain, I would go with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C98CR These are very similar hitches, but the deciding factor here is that the Curt does have the significantly higher tongue weight capacity, 525 lbs vs. 350 lbs for the Draw-Tite. While this may not come into play often, it certainly can make a difference if you need to carry heavier cargo on a cargo carrier, for...

  • Will Trailer Hitch from 2017 Chevy Equinox Fit 2019 Equinox
    We have hitches for the 2019 Chevrolet Equinox but the # 36408 Draw -Tite is not a fit because there's a generation change after 2017. Instead, if you want to keep a 1-1/4 inch receiver the only option is part # 36642 If you'd rather upgrade the hitch size to the 2 inch receiver I recommend the Draw-Tite # 76419 which has a concealed crosstube so all you see is the receiver opening under the bumper. That's it in the picture I attached. Be aware neither of these hitches are confirmed to...

  • Is There a 1-1/4" Hitch for a 2020 Chevrolet Equinox
    There is a 1-1/4" Class II receiver that fits on the 2020 Chevy Equinox with the Draw-Tite # 36642. This hitch has the 1-1/4 receiver that you're looking for. If you're going to be towing anything with your Equinox you may need a few other items to complete your towing setup. If you don't already have a wiring harness for a 4 way trailer connection, you'll want to use the Tekonsha T-one # 118750 (for models excluding the Premier), which tees into your vehicle's electrical system with...

  • 2 inch Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 GMC Terrain without Drilling
    The 2 inch hitches we offer for your 2018 GMC Terrain don't require any drilling to install. The Draw Tite part # 76419 is a great fit for your vehicle if you have the gas engine. If instead you have a diesel engine you'd want the part # 76217. Both require no frame drilling but the diesel engine version does require some fascia trimming that's not noticeable. I attached a picture that shows the trimmed area.

    The best hitch for your 2023 GMC Terrain is going to be the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch item # 36642. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your GMC with included hardware. This is a class II hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity, and a 300 lbs maximum tongue weight.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2018 GMC Terrain 1.5 Liter
    Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 36642 is a fit for your 2018 GMC Terrain. But I recommend the Class III hitch # 76419 because it is a more stout hitch and the 2 inch receiver is compatible with many hitch accessories. For the Class III hitch, 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 rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin...

  • Hitch Height of Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch When Installed on a 2018 Chevy Equinox
    When we installed the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36642 on a 2018 Chevy Equinox we found that from the ground to the top inside of the hitch receiver measured 11". Since you are looking to use a cargo carrier I recommend using the 2" hitch receiver # 76419 instead because it gives you a lot more options when it comes to using a cargo carrier. The ground clearance for this was 10-7/8" when we installed it on a 2018 Equinox. These are your best options for ground clearance with a trailer...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver Compatible with 2018 Chevy Equinox
    The trailer hitch for your 2014 Chevy Equinox, will fit models from 2005 through 2017. 2018 models had a different frame, so I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 76419 or the 1-1/4 inch # 36642 which is a confirmed fit for the 2018 model year.
