Draw-Tite Tested Tough
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.

Received the hitch and wire harness 2 days after I ordered them. Installation was easy and not too time consuming. Would definitely recommend to others.

Incredible fit in my new 2017 GMC Canyon. We are talking factory perfect. The box was perfect - no dings, bends or dents to pry back - Flawless fit. My pix say it all. The tuck under the frame is laser-perfect. Jacked into place like butter on toast - smooth. The finish is incredible - the welds look perfect - the hardware wrapped perfect. I mean 10-out-of-10 perfect. This is my third hitch from etrailer.com, and I've bought a couple harnesses for one-off projects - and I keep being impressed. Keep it up!!

a year later, and things are still perfect. zero rust, perfect fit.

Prefect fit. Had to laugh about the 35 minutes install time. Being of age and no power sockets, it took me much longer. But I got it done. Thanks
by: Barton06/21/2022
I love this hitch/receiver. The installation was a bit harder than I expected, but I was able to do it with the assistance of a grandson.
I did have to purchase/rent a large breaker bar socket driver to complete the installation. My standard ratchet didn't have sufficient leverage to loosen the factory bolts.

Just finished installing your hitch on my 2019 Colorado.
I should have had another set of hands but I was able to safely install with a couple of straps. Your product fits perfect.
Where how one person can safely install your etrailer hitch. Just tighten the straps and pull it up location.

I just installed this Draw-Tite trailer hitch on my 2017 Colorado and expect nothing short of flawless performance going forward. The design is solid and I really like the sleek design that leaves most of the hitch hidden from view. With a pending move to some property in Oregon, towing my dump trailer ought to be a breeze thanks for this hitch and the awesome product experts at etrailer.com.

So the hitch arrived and it was bagged,I guess thats okay but,one of the other items I needed was not in the bag which was torn open. Called CS and they said they would get one out to me only problem is it's Wednesday and I need it Friday. We'll see.
by: John08/19/2020
A brand new 2020 Colorado truck for one of my commercial customers required this hitch. The installation took about 45 minutes as all the hardware was new and not a problem to remove. The hitch has the spare tire bracket mounting welded to it in order to keep the factory one there making this better than other brands that had not done this.

High quality hitch. Installation went smooth with e-trailer's online video. I also purchased wiring kit for truck and I'm very happy with both. The installation videos are very helpful.
by: Ken01/26/2018
Great service; great product. Received everything in 3 days to Southern California. About 3 hours total install time utilizing the EXCELLENT video showing how to splice to the factory GM harness. Very, very valuable. I could not recommend etrailer any higher. Many thanks!
BTW I prefer the DrawTite, because they retain the spare tire brace. Don’t like having parts left over.

Unit looks to be welded extremely well, love the final fit but watching the video directions was not the experience for the installer. I had my GMC dealership install and they (I've know the mechanic for 30 years) had to completely remove the rear bumper to get it correctly into place and then re-install the bumper so I am glad I did not tackle this at home.

This hitch has performed solid hauling my touring ATV trailer and has even hauled home a new motorcycle.Love the perfect fit for all my trailering needs.

Great products and service all the way around . My Draw-tite hitch 76004 went on easy as did the Hopkins 7 and 4 pin wiring plug. Looks great and is in my opinion better than what the factory installed. I pot the 110% price match on the hitch too! Kudos to retailer !

Arrive in a damage box. Mounting brackets were exposed. Ends slightly damaged. Extra packaging material around brackets could have help. Every was straight and no issues installing.
Comments
I will have our customer service team reach out to you. I recommend touching up the affected places on the hitch with a rust resistant paint. This will help to prevent rust and also you will have it on hand for regular hitch maintenance.

Product is quality hitch way better than OEM that was installed on my Colorado. Only problem was powder coating came off of edges. I will have to paint before install. Still would buy again etrailer service is awesome. Part went on sale after I purchased and etrailer fixed and gave me the better price. Have bought several parts from etrailer always fast shipment and quality parts that will last.

Easy to install, Fits perfect behind bumper. I would recommend using air-tools to install and supporting the rear bumper when installing is a must.

The hitch arrived quickly and I installed it a day or two later. When looking the job over and decided to support the bumper instead of removing it which worked out. You can see how I did it in the photo. You just have to be careful not to knock it over. At first I thought there was a problem because the hitch wouldn't fit between the frame rails and the bottom bolt holes were a little misaligned on the drivers side. I found the vertical plate on the drivers side needed a couple taps with my rubber mallet which brought everything into alignment and it went right in. Remember to torque the bottom bolts first. I ran the bottom bolts up and thought they were snug and went ahead and torqued the upper bumper bolts. It bugged me that there may have been a gap so I loosened the upper bumper bolts and rechecked the torque on the bottom bolts and found that the bolts on one side turned another half a turn or so when I rechecked the torque. I'm happy with the hitch, it looks great.

Still working fine after a year has passed.

The hitch looks nice on my 2018 Chevrolet Colorado and I'm happy with the overall fit and finish. The "etrailer.com" and other stickers were not quite aligned with the frame of the hitch, but these are hidden behind the bumper so I'm not concerned. Install took under two hours for one person without a lift. The hardest part was removing the original bolts, which had some sort of thread locking compound from the factory. I completely removed the bumper rather than supporting with jackstands as this gave easier access to the bolts when installing the hitch. Note that you'll need to disconnect the wiring harness for the backup camera and license plate lights if you want to remove the bumper entirely.
Comments
One year later hitch is still working great. A little surface rust inside the receiver tube but otherwise perfect.
Gregory W - 05/12/2020by: David02/15/2019
I need to haul a trailer occasionally, and I hate to pay a rental place or the dealership to install a hitch. I looked all over the internet, and etrailer.com had the best selection, comparable prices, fast shipping, and nice online video of how to install, so I ordered one.
It arrived when it was scheduled to, and I installed it all by myself.
It did take quite a bit longer than an hour as the instructions said, but lying on my back, it took about 2 hours total time from securing bumper, to showing my wife. It looks great, fit perfect, and will hold much more than I will ever tow.
I also ordered the electric plug for my bumper that accepts both round trailer connector plugs as well as flat. That installed great! I love it! So convenient.
All in all I am totally happy with my order, delivery, and quality of this new hitch receiver!!

I have used this reciever probably 5 times over the past year. Works great. No complaints.

I over-study things for hours. I wasn't familiar with etrailer, but after reading Chevrolet Colorado forum threads related to best hitch for our trucks, a couple of the guys suggested to buy from etrailer. I went there, and was thoroughly impressed with the product pictures and detailed descriptions of each hitch, along with the obviously well-informed reviews attesting to positive experiences with both the products and the company. There were also good tips for install, and best accessories. This company has it together, from their website, order fulfillment and shipping, to follow-up after the sale. I buy online almost every three days, and these folks are among the best online retailers.

Because the 2nd generation Colorado wasn't available in the US until the 2015 model year, and we don't know how closely the Colorado resembles the D-Max, the hitch manufacturer can't say if the hitch will be compatible or not.

The Draw Tite part # 65071 would be a great solution. And then for a winch mounting bracket for the hitch we have the part # 6495. Or if you wanted to mount the winch at the rear of the vehicle you could use a rear mounted trailer hitch with the # 6495. If you don't have a hitch the Draw Tite part # 76004 would be a great option as well.

The hitch has a gross trailer weight (GTW) rating of 8,000 lb and tongue weight (TW) rating of 800 lbs though you will need to verify your vehicle's GTW and TW ratings as the lower of the two will be your limiting factor.

If that is the case then yes but you will always need to abide by the weakest rated component which is your vehicle. Therefore, you can tow your bass boat trailer no matter what trailer hitch you are using assuming the trailer is under 3,500 lbs which is what you said your vehicle's towing capacity was.

I like the stick version of the Blue Loctite, # LT37643, because it just makes it easier to apply. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900.
