Draw Tite is actually made by the same company as Reese who no longer puts the brand name of Reese on their hitches. So what you'd want is the Draw Tite hitch part # 75082 and you'd have basically a Reese hitch. This is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch opening and a capacity of 4,000 lb trailer weight and 400 lb tongue weight.

I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.
