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.

Great Product, easy to installPurchased for 2008 Jeep Compass. Arrived lightening fast and was easy to install. Fit perfectly with no hassles. Would recommend.



by:

Product arrived a few days ahead of schedule. I have yet to install the hitch, but it looks to be of very good quality



by:

First off, Awesome Customer service. Always sent emails keeping you up to date. Item was shipped the next day. Easy to install.



by:
2008 Jeep Compass

Good product but the bolt were too large to fit through the holes on the Jeep Compass frame. Had to get new 9/16 bolts to make it work, which was an additional cost.



by:
2009 JeepPatriot

nice hitch,bolt holes lined up ,excellent fit,its nice to see quality workmanship at a descent price,thanks



by:

Great value. Super fast delivery. Kind of a bugger to install but that was due to vehicle design and because I installed it on my back on a creeper. Done on a hoist should make the job much easier.



by:

Receiver went on without a "hitch!" Good pun huh. Delivery was very timely. Very happy! I can now go get my new fishing boat. Wiring video is very helpful. Thanks



by:

great product, quickest service i've seen. haven't installed yet but have the very informative video on your website that will make it a breeze. thank you



by:

The product is good however the box it was shipped in is very poor. You need to restrain the hitch in the box so it will not end up mostly out of the box upon receipt.



by:
2007 JeepPatriot

Just put mine on and was very simple to install. Can't wait to give it a spin with my bike rack.



by:

Extremely easy to install for non-handy man like myself! Only took me 20 minutes to put it in. Etrailer was very good about keeping me informed of shipping as well.



by:

Hitch fit exactly as stated, installation was easy. Ordering another one tonight for my dad with a bike rack!



by:
2009 Jeep Compass

Everything fit and installed as discribed. Shipment was as ordered and was delivered on time as promised.
I am very happy with the transaction and would definately purchase through etrailer again

2008 Jeep Compass

Built great & a snap to instalInstalled this product on my 08 jeep compass today. Easy to do...follow the direstions & make sure to use a torque wrench (100 ft pounds is more than you think). No cutting is required unless you have the rallye.



by:
JeepPatriot

I ordered three items. All 3 items arrived at the same time, 'days' prior to when I expected them. All 3 items are exactly what I wanted, and the trailer hitch was perfect, fit's my little girls Jeep Patriot perfectly. I highly recommend etrailer! Thanks folks at etrailer. Steve



by:
JeepPatriot

The included instructions were poor on how to install the hitch on a Jeep Patriot because some of the fascia needed to be cut. Also the drawbar was not sent. I have contacted etrailer.com and received no reply on this as of yet. I hope this matter gets resolved and they can show they have great customer service.



by:
JeepPatriot

The trailer hitch I ordered for my Jeep Patriot works great, easy to put in place and the bolt in system is the best! No drilling, no welding, just place the bolts thru the exsisting holes in your frame and tighten. There isn't to much room to work by the frame, but with a little patience you'll realize how much time and money your saving.



by:
2009 JeepPatriot

Great product at a great priceFits my 2009 Jeep Patriot Limited exactly as promised on the website. Mounting holes lined up perfectly with factory holes in the frame and installed easily with included hardware. Looks great as only the receiver opening is visible when the hitch is not in use.



by:
JeepPatriot

I wish all transactions were this easyI ordered a hitch and wiring kit for my Jeep Patriot and it arrived in just a few days. As stated on the web site the hitch was extremely easy to install and only took 20 minutes. The wiring harness went on in a flash too. I will definitely purchase from Etrailer again!



by:
2012 JeepPatriot

Received Hitch and accessories in 3 days, excellent service. Installed it the next day. Item fit a Jeep Patriot 2012 like a glove with no drilling.
Installation was about 2 hours with clean up. Jeep Patriot has a plastic bumper cover that curls under the back and is really in the way of getting your hands where you need them. Other problem is due to a plastic box on the drivers side next to the muffler (pollution control??) Torquing down the nuts to 100ft lb was time con- summing, as very little swing room is there. The cut out required for the tongue was a snap with an air tool cutter I have.
Otherwise an A+ product that fits perfect.

  • Can a 1-1/4 Inch Bike Rack be Used in a 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
    You can still use your 1-1/4 inch bike rack with a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver. The first thing I would check is to see if there is an adapter sleeve or alternate shank that is designed specifically for your bike rack in order to use it in a 2 inch hitch. This would be the most ideal way to adapt the bike rack to fit the new hitch. If a specific adapter is not available, you can use a reducer sleeve to convert the 2 inch hitch to a 1-1/4 inch for times when you want to use the bike rack....

  • Economical 2-Bike Rack Recommendation for 2012 Jeep Patriot
    If the Jeep Patriot has a 1-1/4 inch size hitch installed on it the Reese bike rack part # TH9058 would fit and work well. There are 1-1/4 inch hitches available for a 2012 Jeep Patriot like the Draw Tite hitch part # 36423 but you would still want to measure the hitch of the vehicle to be sure as there are also 2 inch hitches available for this vehicle too. The other option is to go with a bike rack that can fit both hitch sizes of 2 inch and 1-1/4 inch so that you don't have to measure...

  • Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2009 Jeep Patriot with Rear Spoiler
    Thule does list the Passage 3 trunk mount bike rack # TH911XT as a fit for the 2009 Jeep Liberty. However that spoiler at the top would interfere with the isntallation of the top hooks of the rack and the spoiler is not designed to carry any additional weight and could get damaged. The only trunk mount bike rack I recommend for your vehicle would be the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2-3. This rack has an additional upper arm piece that moves the straps up and over the spoiler...

  • Trailer Hitch Compatibility with 2014 Jeep Patriot
    We offer several hitch options for the 2014 Jeep Patriot, all shown on the linked page, that install with certain requirements. These installation requirements may include some trimming of plastic fascia parts, temporary removal of the exhaust heat shield and/or tow hooks, and temporary lowering of the exhaust, just to provide easier access to the mounting points on the frame. I have never heard of a hitch installation on a standard passenger vehicle being affected by the location of...

  • Class II Trailer Hitch Availability for a 2014 Jeep Patriot
    Your owners manual will be the final authority on towing capacities for your 2014 Jeep Patriot. Most of the info I found on your vehicle said 2,000 lbs was the max capacity, but you will need to verify that with the owners manual since different equipped versions of the same vehicle can have different capacities. That being said, you can use a trailer hitch on your vehicle that has a higher capacity than your vehicle. You would just have to be sure not to exceed the vehicle capacity. So...

  • Difference Between Draw-Tite Class II Hitch # 36423 and Class III Hitch # 75712 on 2008 Jeep Compass
    The difference in the Draw-Tite Class II 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # 36423, and the Draw-Tite Class III 2 Inch Hitch, part # 75712, for your 2008 Jeep Compass is the receiver size and the tongue weight capacity. They both have a 3,500-lb gross towing weight capacity. The # 36423 hitch is a Class II rated hitch with a 300-lb tongue weight capacity and a 1-1/4 inch receiver size. The # 75712 hitch is a Class III rated hitch with a 525-lb tongue weight capacity and a 2 inch receiver size. I...

  • Is Trimming Required to InstallDraw-Tite Hitch # 36423 on a 2011 Jeep Patriot Sport
    On your 2011 Jeep Patriot Sport, there will be trimming required for installation of the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, item # 36423. I have posted a drawing of the area of the fascia that will have to be trimmed. The construction of the rear of the Compass does require minor trimming when installing this hitch also.

    We have several hitches that will fit your 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette, but the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, item # 36423, is not a match for your vehicle. I would recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III, item # 75278, for your Silhouette. The 2 inch Class III receiver will give you more options for towing and accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. Items needed to complete a Class III towing setup are listed below.

  • Will the # 75712 Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Trailer Hitch Fit on a 2007 Jeep Compass
    Yes, the Draw-Tite Class III Max-Frame Trailer Hitch, # 75712, is a confirmed fit for the 2007 Jeep Compass. The Draw-Tite Class II Trailer Hitch, # 36423, is also a confirmed fit for your Compass. The main difference between these two hitches for your vehicle is that the Class III hitch is going to provide you with a 2 inch receiver opening which will allow many more accessories to be used in the hitch. If you plan on towing with your 2007 Compass, you will need a wiring harness, #...

  • Is Trimming Required to Install the Draw-Tite Class II Trailer Hitch # 36423 on a 2014 Jeep Patriot
    The Draw-Tite Class II Trailer Hitch, # 36423, will fit your 2014 Jeep Patriot and some fascia trimming is required. The hitch will bolt to the frame, but part of the bumper fascia must be trimmed for the receiver. I have attached the installation instructions for this hitch that includes several diagrams and dimensions that you will find helpful when determining where to trim the fascia. All of the trailer hitches offered for your Jeep Patriot require fascia trimming.

  • Recommendation For Hitch That Clears The Muffler On A 2010 Jeep Compass
    Having the exhaust system contact and rattle against the hitch is a fairly common occurrence that can happen with just about any vehicle. You can install the hitch on two identical vehicles, and it'll rattle on one and not on the other. When the hitch is installed, it's in a static or fixed postion. It will not move. Due to the rubber isolators used to install exhaust systems, the exhaust system can move around a bit and its exact location can vary a bit from vehicle to vehicle. There's...

  • Is the Drawbar Pin and Clip Included With Draw-Tite, 36423, Class II Receiver Hitch on 2009 Jeep
    No, the draw bar, pin and clip are not included with the Draw-Tite Class II Trailer Hitch, part # 36423. The manufacturer recommended drawbar for the 2009 Jeep Patriot is, part # 36061, which needs to be used in the rise position only. You will also need a hitch pin and clip, part # PC2, and a properly sized hitch ball, part # 19256 (1-7/8 inch diameter) or # 19258 (2 inch diameter). If you do not already have trailer wiring, you will need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118552,...

  • Bolts For Trailer Hitch on a 2007 Jeep Patriot Will Not Fit Factory Weldnuts
    It sounds like what you are experiencing are weldnuts that are packed with grime and corrosion. This happens if a vehicle has seen at least 1 winter. You will need to clean out the weldnuts using a spray lubricant like WD-40, a wire brush like # DW00254, and some muscle. I have included some links that will explain and show you how to get the weldnuts cleaned out so you can install the bolts and hitch.

  • Is Fascia Trimming Required for Trailer Hitch Installation on a 2011 Jeep Patriot
    When I enter your 2011 Jeep Patriot into our fit guide, I show that all of the available hitches (see link to the options) require fascia trimming. The 2011 models have a 2 inch vertical fascia that will interfere with hitch installation. Trimming is not as difficult as you might think, and you may have the tools you need already. You can use a utility knife to score the trim lines and aviator shears to make the 2 inch long cut on each side. Then, it is just a matter of bending the now...

  • Options for Carrying 4 Bikes with a 2010 Nissan Altima with a Class I Hitch
    I believe I have an option for carrying 4 bikes with your Altima, but the thing about using a hitch adapter is that they cut the capacity of the hitch in half due to the increased leverage and movement the adapter creates. Since the hitch on your 2010 Nissan Altima is most likely a Class I hitch with a 200 lb tongue capacity and using a hitch adapter would reduce that down to 100 lbs, you would not have enough capacity for the weight of your rack plus 4 bikes. Also, Class I hitches are...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Installation Information for 2012 Jeep Compass
    There are Class II and III hitches available for your Jeep Compass which you can see by clicking the provided link. Whenever the choice is available we recommend going with a Class III with the 2 inch receiver opening, because it is the most common. The Class III will allow you future flexibility in choosing hitch mounted accessories, since there is a much better selection of accessories available that are compatible with the 2 inch receiver opening. I would recommend either the Draw-Tite...
