Question:

I was looking at the Draw-tite hitch with the round bar. I would like to see as little of the hitch as possible from the back on my wifes new 2012 Venza. Would this Draw-tite hitch be any less obvious than the others on your site that are square? Are there any picture available to show what it would look like? What would you recommend?

Expert Reply:

I have included a link to the instructions and to a video showing a typical installation of hitch # 75663 so you can see what it would look like when installed. The round tube designs do match the contours of the vehicle better but ultimately on any hitch you will see the cross tube of the hitch at the back of the vehicle.

I do recommend the Draw-Tite hitch, # 75663 that you have referenced. It is a popular hitch and the 2 inch receiver is compatible with a lot of accessories. be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for the towing capacities of the Venza.

To complete your towing set up I recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 balls, 2 ball mounts, a hitch pin and clip, and a carrying bag. For trailer wiring, use # 118482.
