Perfect fit and GREAT customer service!
These folk really have together and provide excellent service. It was a very positive experience!
VERY IMPRESSED WITH TIMELY DELIVERY AND PRODUCT. WOULD ORDER AGAIN IF I NEEDED ANOTHER ONE.
I ordered this for our Highlander. The hitch is well built. I like the fact that it has more bolts holding it to the vehicle than some of the other hitches that I looked at. I received helpful customer service when I called. I needed it quickly and they delivered right on time.
Excellent service and very fast delivery of a great product. Very happy with my purchase. I think the install should go well too due to the very detailed and helpful install videos for my specific vehicle.
Wow, I couldn't believe how easy this was to install. the hardest part is having an extra set of hands to help mount the first bolt. it was fast and easy. Customer service was also fantastic.
I have purchased with etrailer 5-6 times. As always great item shipped fast. This is the 4th hitch i purchased through them. This time they just stretched wraped, no box. I recieved the next day, but it was dragged and the paint on most of the edges was rubbed off.
Not sure of it is the cars fault or the hitch, but one mount.hole did not line up. I needed to widen the mount hole for hitch to fit. Once it was mounted, it was great.
The hitch/wiring harness fit perfect for my 2012 Highlander just as etrailer advertised. The directions were spot on! This is my third purchase from etrailer and I wouldn't shop anywhere else.
Great product, simple to install. But then again, this is the third trailer hitch I have installed from etrailer and I have been happy with all of them.
Reasonable Price, quick delivery, Easy installation
A real winner
Hitch was made very strong and fit very well. The instructions to install were accurate and complete. Hardware was all present and of good quality.A friend and two jackstands helped me to install. Also, put back of car up on 4 inch ramps.
There are a three things that really stood out for me. First, the installation instructions were easy to follow and involved little "trial and error". Although having three people guide the hitch into place for initial attachment is recommended. The wiring harness was easy-peasy! Second, I use this hitch mostly for pulling light loads around town, but, the week after installation I pulled a 12' tandem-wheel cargo trailer full of furniture over 800 miles through three mountain passes without a problem. Third, and more service related, the self-help tips on etrailer's website are invaluable.
I bought this to put on my 2008 Toyota Highlander Sport. It's a very nice, well built hitch. It fit perfectly, even with my full size, 19 inch, spare tire. The only complaint I had about it was the packaging. The box arrived via the brown truck and was torn at both ends by the edges of the hitch, which caused the hitch to have a few nicks and scratches to the paint. The delivery driver even apologized for it. I contacted etrailer.com via email. Their customer service was great, responding in just a few hours. We worked out a solution. This hitch is very well made. It's welded together and the bolt holes lined up perfectly with my Highlander's. It's heavy and awkward, so I do recommend two people to put it on. Installation was easy...my 13 year old nephew helped me. You could probably put it on by yourself, but two people make it easier as you have to lift it over the exhaust pipe. The video tutorial was definitely a plus! One thing I had to do that the video didn't show was to remove the cover on the tip of the exhaust pipe. I know not all models have one, but the sport models do. It's easy to remove by loosening the bolted on clamp. I didn't have to lift the rear of the Highlander up, either. There is plenty of room to get underneath the vehicle to work and do this (I'm a big guy). The hitch also has a plate welded onto it near the receiver so you can attach a mounting bracket for the wire harness if you want to run it to the outside of your vehicle. I used the mounting bracket (Item 18144) here: . It comes with locking screws and fits perfectly. Overall, this is a solid hitch that is priced well and looks great! I had thought about buying the OEM from Toyota, but I'm glad I didn't. This one is just as good (if not better) at only a quarter of the cost and I didn't have to pay anyone to install it. I will definitely be doing more business with etrailer.com! Great prices and customer service you can't beat! P.S. Sorry, but it was raining a little when I took the pics.
Bought the Draw-Tite trailer hits together with the Swagman XTC4 4-bike rack. Bought based on reviews on e-trailer and other sites that this is a sturdy and good-working combination for carrying 4 bikes.
* Delivery: Fast (<5 days)
* Packaging: Package had holes, which is not unusual as the box with the hitch has a lot of empty spaces. Others had same issue, but nothing to worry about. The hitch cannot really break easily and the hardware is safely stored in the 2inch receiver.
* Installation: Very nice video instructions on etrailer. Installation really can use two people, but it's fairly easy with two people. Had some problems with one of the nine screws to bite although I did a try run before mounting the hitch. Worked after some minutes of wiggling the hitch so that the screw got the correct angle to bite.
* Usage: Installed the day of delivery and used it the next day. It's the first time I used a trailer hitch and for sure the first time I used to carry 4 bikes. Stopped looking in the rear-view mirror after 1 minutes seeing that it's barely moving at all. So with a limited use so far I can confirm other's reviews of this combination and I think it works great. Recommended.
2008 Toyota Highlander. Drawtite 75726 hitch. Easy installation. 9 bolts total. One bolt wouldn’t line up until I torqued all the other ones in place. Use a torque wrench. Instructions said 42ft lb, so that’s what I did. Perfect fit with 19” spare tire and wheel. I kept the spare in place for trailer hitch installation; no problem whatsoever.
Followed the instructions to completely remove the driver side plastic wheel well piece. The passenger side was removed for installation of hitch, and then reinstalled.
Research has brought me to etrailer.com to find the best hitch for my vehicle. I own a 2009 toyota highlander which is the hybrid limited model. I choose this hitch particularly because of the added tongue weight. 750 or 500 lbs... you decide which is better. This hitch has extra mounting tabs, so it doesn't just mount to the bottom of the frame but also the sides of the frame. It took 2 days to receive and less time to install. 45 minutes with 2 people. Do note that if you
have mud guards than they must come off. I didn't remove the tail pipe to install, just man handled the hitch over it. Also, there is a tab on the back side of the facia in front of the exaust tip that has to go under the hitch. The bolts included with the hitch were a different size than what the manual says. They aren't 17mmm, they are 16mm. Overall the install went well so don't be intimidated by it if your not mechanicly inclinded. The wiring was really easy to install and as you can see in the picture I ran it through a hole in the body. I cut a small slit in the grommet and gently pushed the small end through so that any water won't come through. Worked like a charm.This was an aawesome experience!
Arrived as planned, and it took about 2 hours to install on my 2010 Highlander, 89k miles, garaged, used mostly by my wife. I guess at 75 i am getting slower doing mechanic work, so younger mechanics should only take half that time. LOL Just use two floor jacks and you don't need a helper. There was a good video of the installation that was very helpful. So, yes, you and the products you sell get the 5 stars.
the the draw Tite Hitch Receiver perfectly clears the spare tire, which is why I bought this version to replace the square tube one from years ago for my Toyota 2013 Highlander. Had a flat and the spare would not lower or clear the Hitch. This round tube version allows for spare tire storage and removal. Very nice. Powder coat could be better but I am satisfied.
Finally, the hitch mount is installed on my 2013 Toyota Highlander, you would need 10mm, 14mm, and 16mm, and 6" socket extender. In the manual, it said you need, 10mm, 12mm, and 14mm. Installation was easy, only 9 bolts, two persons makes job easier but i did the installation by myself. It took one hour or less. The hitch fits my vehicle steel frame bolts patterns perfectly so no issue with the install.
Everything lined up correctly for install. Installation will probably make you swear unless a second person is involved because its awkward. It was not complicated however and the Installation guide video was perfect. Would buy again.
Had no trouble installing the hitch or wiring harness. The video helps a lot. Instead of having the lights connector lay in a tray I chose to use the plugged hole that was below the side tray and have the cable mounted outside the vehicle.
Installed with aid of the video. Hitch fit perfectly. My 19 inch spare tire fits like it should with no interference from the hitch. Paint was peeling on one of the arms that attach to the frame, I will go back and touch it up later. My highlander is a 2009 sport, original owner. I am 75 years old, so if I can install,you can too.
Leeza was a big help as this is my first hitch purchase and her expert advice made me a confident shopper.
Delivery was exceptionally prompt and arrived for my birthday. Promised and delivered.
Our 2008 Highlander Hybrid with 7 seats fits most of our family needs and now will haul bikes and a camping trailer!
Hitch is super heavy duty. Fit was fine and install was easy for anyone with a little mechanical skill, and for anyone with some experience on cars or trucks a treat to install. All parts came correct. Bike hitch fit in and stayed in with minimum wobble. Thank you

The Draw -Tite hitch has worked just fine for the year plus I have had it. So heavy duty it should last a life time. On two 1500 mile trips everything stayed in place and no wobble noticed driving with a few saftey bunji cords in place to make sure bikes were secure. Its always smart to have a back up to anything.
