Do Draw Tite Hitches Require Use of Stabilizer Strap Like Curt Hitches
Updated 03/09/2015 | Published 03/08/2015
Question:
I noticed that I will need stabilizing straps if I purchase the Curt hitch info on the website vs the Draw tite hitch. My question is do i need to still purchase stabilizing straps if i buy the Draw tite hitch.

Expert Reply:
Draw Tite does not require the use of a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 when used with non-supported loads like a bike rack or cargo carrier.
It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to use the strap with a Draw Tite hitch, but failing to use it would not void the warranty as with the Curt hitch.
I attached a video that details how to use the strap as well.
