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.

This is an excellent rack for the Kia EV6. Very well built and comes with clear instructions. On the eTrailer.com website for this hitch you can also watch a helpful installation video and download instructions in color if needed. Some cutting is required of a bottom facia panel and the bottom edge of the bumper. Instructions give clear details and diagrams for the cuts. Easy to install with a helper or a transmission/atv jack. I welded a 4 pin wiring bracket (18144) to the top of the hitch before installing it (please excuse the poor welds in the pictures). That bracket can also be strap mounted. I also used a Kia OEM wiring harness kit (CVF67 AC000) I found on eBay. I highly recommend using the factory wiring harness kit.



by:

The 3” wide cutout on the bumper needs to be 3.5”. I had make additional cuts to get hitch to fit. Packaging was terrible. Box had numerous holes and one flange of the hitch was protruding out of the box. Some of the problem could be attributed to poor handling by UPS. Other than that the hitch fit well and looks to be of good quality. If not for the package damage I would have giving five stars.

Very disappointed the hitch was delivered in a box that was twice as big as the trailer hitch. The hitch had broken through the box in many places. The only reason the hardware did not fall out of the box was because it was wrapped around the hitch in a bag. I ordered this from etrailer because i have done business with you before and the item came very well boxed. I saw this same trailer hitch for less money but the reviews said it was not boxed and when they got it the hardware was missing. Again I bought it from you because i knew it would be boxed in a box that was made for that hitch.

Item came in with box damage.

A few cents of plastic wrap would have saved $11 of rustoleum and an hours worth of sanding and prep, every part of the hitch that poked through the cardboard box had the very thin and brittle (1 coat?) Black finish rubbed off and even in the areas where the paint survived there were bubbles and zits. Postives were good welds grade 10 bolts and excellent instructions even down to torque specs. Took longer to correct paint than to install. Made in Mexico and not China is a plus. Overall would buy again but better paint (or powdercoat) and packaging would have justified the premium price.

great, easy install since everything lined up. hitches on the EV6 are going to be low so it does hit things like curbs occasionally.

The hitch came on time as promised, and the video from the website was informative so I could tackle the job myself (with help to lift/hold while installing).



by:

The hitch itself is great! But it was beyond my ability to install myself, and even the mechanic at the place I took it said it was a complicated install.

responsive company and fast delivery! thank you

This is a heavy duty hitch and should hold alot. I did have a heck of a time getting all 6 bolts in my Kia EV6 but won in the end. Good product fast delivery.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For a 2022 Kia EV6
    Yes, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT85GR is custom fit for your 2022 Kia EV6. This receiver has a 2" x 2" opening allowing you a larger selection of ball mounts and hitch mounted accessories. I recommend installing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK65VR when you install the receiver. This will give you a 4-way flat connector that you will need to use if you tow a small trailer. It is also needed for Auxiliary Lights # C53201 if you tow a hitch mounted accessory...

  • Do Cuts Need to Be Made to Install a Hitch on a 2024 Kia EV6?
    Yes, it does! The lower fascia of your 2024 Kia EV6 will need to have a 2-1/4" x 3" cut made for the 2" receiver to protrude beneath your vehicle. This is common amongst every hitch that has been made for the 2024 EV6. The Draw-Tite Hitch item # DT85GR has been confirmed to fit the 2024 Kia EV6. It is custom fit and bolts to your vehicle with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get it set up....

  • Will The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit a 2022 Kia EV6 First Edition?
    I have seen the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT85GR installed on the GT models of your 2022 Kia EV6. While I have never seen a 1st edition like yours fit with the receiver I see no reason why it will not fit since the 1st edition was a badged version of the first 1,500 EV6's produced for retail purchase. Our tech team added the not intended for GT models as there have been some instances where additional modification would have been required. I recommend adding the 4-Way...

    Hello Marco, I just double checked with Draw-Tite and they confirmed that the # DT85GR will indeed fit the 2024 Kia EV6 Light Long Range model.
