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.

The hitch fit perfect as described.
I was able too install this trailer hitch in about 4 hours, using only hand tools. If this 77 year old man can install the hitch, anyone should be able to it.
With the help of a mechanic, a lift and all the right tools the hitch went on easily. The wiring harness was a little challenging as connections had to be made directly to each tail light. It required finding existing holes to run the wiring harness which required pulling the back panels loose and removing the storage area compartments. This is where the mechanic came in handy as he knew what to pull to pop things loose. I am very pleased with the communication with the eTrailer staff in making sure I had the correct parts needed to install my hitch.
Easy to attach, if you have the tools, and the video tutorial was greatly appreciated.
Haven't had any hiccups with the hitch after a year.
Fits perfect with 2013 Santa Fe Sport 2.0T. My experience was slightly different than the video. I didn't have to remove any part of the plastic shrouds that are near the hitch receiver bolts. I just cut two slices big enough for each bolt and folded it inward and it fit perfect.
Sales consultant suggested correct hitch for my Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. It arrived in a timely manner. Online video for installation was spot on. Installation was easy. Works great with my bike rack.
The hitch is perfect. My boyfriend installed it easily. We use it for our bikes. We have no problems with it. It is sturdy.
This was the second trailer hitch sent both were damaged in route. This one besides being damaged had no installation hardware etc.I had to call and the young man said he will send install hardware out tomorrow. For the first time order experience it was not a pleasant one.
The installation for this went well. My car has 125k miles in Ohio (salty roads in winter). I had to re-tap the 4 holes in the frame since the threads were so rusty. I did not have to modify anything on my car at all. The instructions mention that you may have to cut a bumper locator and some of the plastic guards. I did not. I did all of the work on the ground, no lift, no jack, no ramps.
Some of the paint had scraped off in shipping. I emailed etrailer and they responded the same day to let me know the manufacturer recommends "Krylon Gloss Rough Tuff Enamel Spray paint to touch up any defects, which you will then have on hand for your regular hitch maintenance."
Getting a torque wrench in there was a bit tight. And with the recommended torques, this will require a torque wrench.
We will be using this with a hitch mount cargo carrier.
Very impressed with the customer service I received. I ordered a hitch that appeared to have a factory defect that left it unable to fit the frame of my car. I called customer service and, after walking me through some steps to try and fix the issue, they quickly accommodated by shipping a new hitch the next business day. The call to customer service was on a Sunday, I had a new hitch on my doorstep by Wednesday, and they paid for shipping both ways. Great service!
The installation videos from etrailer made it incredibly easy to follow exactly how to install on my specific vehicle. It took less than an hour, and I saved a few hundred dollars over the quote I received for installation from a national truck rental business. Highly recommend etrailer, and I will be placing my next order with them today.
works great. not bad for install, I had 2 people though.
used on a 2014 kia sorento ex base model
It never got installed because it did not fit
Quick delivery - It fit 2014 Sorento perfectly - I installed myself in garage following videos - no issues. Highly recommend.
From my initial inquire, to the recommendation made for the appropriate hitch for our 2016 Hyundai Sante Fe, our whole experience in ordering was great. And then the instructional video was a home run. I had the advantage of having access to a lift, so in 25 minutes we had the drawtite hitch in place, bolted in and secure, including the spare tire back in place as it is supposed to be. Highly recommend etrailer.
The hitch looks good, and I was able to install it by myself with no special tools or jacks. The most challenging parts of the jack installation is that one of the Kia panel clips was stripped out, and one of the Kia welded nuts took a lot of force before I could get it to engage the washer and tighten the hitch into place. Doing it myself saved $200 of cash flow compared to U-HAUL, and it happened in four days from ordering, rather than waiting one more month after being on back order for six weeks!
This trailer hitch and wiring harness fit perfectly and both were extremely easy to install. I would not hesitate to make future purchases from etrailer. They were great to deal with.
Fantastic hitch
I purchased this Draw-tite max-frame trailer hitch receiver from etrailer.com. it arrived within days of making the purchase and let me tell you the install was easy and only took about 45 minutes. Also the customer service rep Christine was a delight to work with. I would definitely purchase from etrailer.com again!
Great product, easily installed by our mechanic (we are NOT handy at all So easy to use for our bike rack. Definitely recommend.
I can't speak for installation. I had the hitch and light electrical kit installed locally.
I do like the hitch though, it's a sleek design that matches my 2014 Kia Sorrento.
I purchase the Draw-Tite hitch (item 75772) for my new 2018 Santa Fe Sport to allow me to use the bike rack I have for our truck and from the previous car. The installation was very easy and I completed the install in about a hour without any help. My wife was working on repacking the wheel bearings on a friends travel trailer and I didn't want to interrupt her and her work. The hitch was a little challenging to install by myself but the height of the car allowed me to push it up and start one bolt on one side and then start a bolt on the other side. I did not need to lift the car up on jacks or stands, there was plenty of space to comfortably work under the car. After that it was easy to finish up. The fit was just perfect and holes in the frame all aligned with the hitch very well. The installation was easy and was a clean operation. The only thing I didn't quite get with the first reading of the instructions was the cuts on the plastic covers on the two sides of the car. I notched the covers to allow clearance with the attachment bolts and the instructions indicated to make a couple of cuts to allow the plastic to flex in to clear the bolt heads. All in all I would readily recommend this hitch for the 2018 Santa Fe Sport, it's easy to install, it looks good, and the fit and finish is outstanding.
What a great experience from the excellent help from Ashley as I cslled for the info on our KIA Sorento hitch to the quick order she placed while talking with her and Receiving the Hitch and I installed it last weekend with out any problems.
Great Job Ashley your were very professional!
Was delivered a week ahead time which was great. The cardboard packaging took quite a beating. UPS had to add a couple of layers of tape to keep the box together. No damage to hitch, other than a few small scratches.
Easy install thanks to the videos. No need to put the car on a lift; just some "driveway yoga".
Trailer hitch arrived earlier than anticipated. Installation time in the ad was about 40 mins. This is probably accurate if you have a fairly new car with a clean underside and access to a lift. Since I'm a DIYer, I raised my 2014 Sorrento (with undercoating and dirt) on ramps. Total time to install was about 3 hrs. Holes lined up but were extremely difficult to clean. Also, having a second set of hands is a must. Both your video and the paper instructions were good, but followed the video. Installation was straight forward. I'm looking forward to hauling biking, boating, and camping rigs with it.
I installed personally with no issues. The etrailer online/youtube instructions were very helpful.
note - my only complaint were the stickers on the hitch. I'd prefer to have a clean look and they were wrinkled when applied to the hitch. When I removed some of the paint came off. It's an easy fix so not really bothered. My suggestion would be to have the stickers in the box and let the buyer apply where they want / if they want.
Great service fast delivery product fits like a glove wow and its strong. I would recommend etrailer products to anybody who's towing a boat and trailer.
