Features:
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. 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.
Tech Tip
No drilling required for installation , Requires temporary removal of bumper/fascia during installation , Trimming of the fascia may be required for hitch installation. Check fit first, per instructions, to see if necessary

This fully welded, corrosion-resistant vehicle trailer hitch receiver is perfect for your light-duty towing needs. Draw-Tite's Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry standards. Drawbar sold separately.Great hitch that has good clearance for my Honda Accord. Perfect match for my Thule bike rack and e-bike on a trip out of state.
Perfecto!!
The quality of this product is simply marvelous! It's custom fit for my 2020 Honda Accord Sport and was a very easy installation.
As you can see in the attached photos, I did the install in the parking lot on the pavement (no jack) and by myself.
The hitch installed really doesn't protrude out from the bottom bumper cover; and most importantly the two size large mountain bikes with 29" wheels sat perfectly with significant distance between the truck lid and any part of the bikes. No rocking on interstate.
Well built and believe it or not, I can bearly see those large tires in the rear view mirrors mounted on the car doors.
The Swagman is killer cool as well!
Lastly, the customer relations team at eTrailer is top-notch, curious, professional and helpful. This hitch is my second purchase. I purchased a custom hitch and the Swagman for my 2017 Honda Accord back in 2018.
Thanks again, it's almost summer!!
Good product. Very strong design and nice finish. Installation went well and had 0 issues with fitment.
A few issues I've faced with the part where the hitch receiver goes - it has a slight slope and the hitch receiver doesn't sit tight there. Anyway, I drove about 950km with the Thule bike rack with two bikes on it and all good.
Outstanding hitch. No need to drill holes or make modifications to car as with other hitches. Complete bolt on assembly with straightforward installation.

Perfect !
Excellent hitch used for a bike rack. Was an easy installation (my wife helped me) we watched your video for install on a Honda accord.The longer bolts were nice we put Locktite on them.Only negative, keep losing hitch cover in car wash and have to go back for it. I would highly recommend your hitch (and video) to anyone wanting a very nice hitch. This is a great product at a reasonable price.

Still looks like new and you can hardly see the hitch.I would recommend it to anyone its a great fit for the car
Price was reasonable and shipping was free for this hitch designed to fit a 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid. The directions to remove the bumper and install the hitch was decent, but I would suggest going online to see how the bumper removal goes. From opening the box to taking the final install pictures, it took about 40 minutes.
I’ll be using this for primarily for a bike rack, and rarely, for moving light items on a rack that won’t fit inside the vehicle.
I’m a little disappointed that a locking pin wasn’t included in the package, but not a deal breaker. Overall, still an excellent experience.

Still works great for hauling road bikes on a platform type carrier. So much better than having a Saris Bones on the trunk!
Easy installation and the fit is spot on. I highly recommend.

Very happy with the product.
I ordered the Draw-Tite Sportframe trailer hitch receiver for my 2021 Accord Hybrid and it fit perfectly. I installed it myself using etrailer's 2020 Accord video. Although the video wasn't didn't match my car exactly, it was close enough that the installation went very smoothly. The entire installation took about an hour, mostly because this was my first one and I took my time. I would definitely recommend etrailer to anyone looking for a hitch receiver.
Amazing hitch. Very unobtrusive. Hard to see it on the car unless you're looking. This was very important for me. I use it with a 2 inch lift hitch to get a good height. Have never drug it in a driveway. Install was straightforward and they give you the hardware needed. The safety chain loops are also a good size. Very happy with the hitch and will look at draw-tite for any future hitch.
Not happy with the hit h it is rusting and corroding

While the powder coating on the hitches does help protect it, it will not last forever. The hitch will typically experience nicks and scratches from road debris. Those areas will rust over time. We recommend keeping a can of Rustoleum on hand to touch up the hitch from time to time.

Installation was easy and quick for what it is, just followed the video instructions and thats it. Took me about 1hr, only issue I couldn’t install the 2 last plastic plugs that attach at the bottom of the bump but it’s likely user error on my part.
After using it for a year, it works as expected. Installation was a breeze for my mechanic.
This is an excellent hitch for my 2018 Honda Accord. Had a mechanic install since I wasn't comfortable taking the bumper face off but once installed, it is solid, neat, and sturdy. The mounting holes and provided bolts fit perfectly. It doesn't protrude too much from bottom of bumper and does not protrude at all from rear of the car.

Hitch still holding up well! It is fairly lightweight but strong enough to carry 2 dual sus bikes on a hitch carrier.
I selected this product because it would mount to my vehicle without having to drill holes in the body/frame. The sole purpose of this hitch was to be able to mount a bike rack to my car. Since i don't intend to tow a trailer, I didn't need to purchase the wiring harness.
When I unpacked the hitch I noticed some of the coating was missing from the mounting plates. I was informed by etrailer that they generally do not replace a hitch for cosmetic reasons as road debris will cause the same kind of damage. Since this part of the hitch was in contact with the car body, I touched it up with rust resistant paint before installing it.
Installation went smoothly following the step-by-step instructions complete with photos.
I've used the bike rack three times since the installation of the hitch, twice carrying two bikes for over 100 miles. The hitch holds the bike rack securely with little movement of the bikes detected in the mirror while driving at highway speed or travelling over rough city streets.
This was easy to install. It took about an hour start to finish on my 2019 Honda Accord. It has worked well. With the ball mount off it isn't noticeable at all.
(The wiring harness for trailer lighting took a lot longer to install, but is not part of this hardware review.)
I actually ordered this product for a 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid, rather than a 2022 model. I will be using it to mount a 2-bike rack on. It fits perfectly! I hoped that there would be very little change in body design from one year to the other and this is exactly how it turned out. So pleased (and feeling a little lucky!)
This hitch is a quality product. Installed per instructions without a hitch (pun intended). etrailer is also a class act. Got the hitch a day early. Thanks to all at etrailer!
Very prompt in getting the hitch delivered. Just installed the hitch in about three hours. Good instructions. Had a tough time getting the hitch/bumper on ... found that putting one screw on with a wrench works well. The electrical plug that had to be disconnected was much easier with the connector removed from the car (i.e. remove connector from hook on car and then disconnect by pressing on the connector). Had problem putting bumper back on due to self induced issues like sure that the bumper bottom is aligned. Had to cut the bumper a little bit to fit the hitch. Hitch seems to be well constructed as far as I can tell. Will update this review if any issues using it with my bike rack.
Installation was straightforward and included video directions were great. Working out well for specifically 2 bike platform rack. Honda Accord 2018
This was a great addition for my girlfriends honda accord. We moved out to Scottsdale Arizona from Chicago and wanted to tow my scooter there. The scooter weighs about 170lbs and the rack is about 20lbs. The tongue weight limit is 200lbs so we were cutting it close. I was amazed of how strong and sturdy these piece is made. This is not a Chinese piece it's actually manufactured in Mexico.
Hitch came with several dings and scratches but I honestly could not deal with waiting for a second hitch to be delivered to me. But this review is based on how the product is doing, I’ve had it on for 3 months. And use it daily and I have no complaints on how to works, my only complaint is how I received the product, dinged and scratched. It seemed as it was a used product and just shipped to me. Maybe someone returned it. Who knows.
Perfect fit. Clear instructions. Shipped in a timely manner and well packed. Easy install . Bought the swagman bike rack to go with it and I couldn’t be more pleased.
I was a bit intimidated at first about pulling off the bumper of our 2018 Honda Accord to install the hitch. But with the recommended tools and following the etrailer video it went on without a problem. We use the hitch for our bike rack and it works well. One thing we discovered was that we had to disable our rear warning sensor when we used the bike rack. It’s a simple switch on the dashboard. Recommend buying the fastener removal tools. They’ll make the project much easier to complete.
Simple install even with removing the rear bumper. Between this model and the Curt, this one required no drilling. Though trimming is involved when re-installing the rear bumper.
Just had my hitch installed today fits great. Enough clearance for my one up bicycle rack

After a year the hitch has been used several times with the bike rack with great success. I like that this hitch is hidden under the framework of the car and has pretty good clearance.
