Draw-Tite Tested Tough

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.


etrailer.com Technical Support

At etrailer.com we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers. The one-on-one, personal service you'll receive comes straight from an expert in the towing and automotive field. We've installed it, we've wired it and we've towed with it, so whatever your question, we can answer it.

The trailer hitch came with chipped paint which I needed to fix myself. I called customer service and they suggested I fix it with some spray paint and offered my a nominal $ credit for the paint. I went this route and made the repairs myself. I ended up spending a lot of my time which is worth much more than that. I also had an appointment scheduled to attach the hitch to my vehicle and needed to rush the repair before that. In the end the trailer hitch has lasted through the winter and extensive use. The product is good, but perhaps the shipping company was at fault, but ultimately the vendor could have offered more to compensate me for my inconvenience.

Great customer service as always. This is my third trailer hitch purchase from e-trailer. Thank you for being exceptional in your knowledge and professionalism.

A very pleased customer.

The team at etrailer is extremely knowledgeable and responsive! I’m glad too see great customer service still exists along with providing product information! Thanks!

Trailer hitch hangs down 3 to 4 inches lower than the factory BMW hitch. Receiver portion of the hitch also points down slightly: it should be level to the ground or point up slightly. I installed a bicycle carrier rack in the hitch: the hitch was so low it caused the bicycle tires to drag the ground occasionally. Hitch needs to be re-designed

Works great, look great on my BMW X5 I had a body shop install it because it is complicated on a BMW no lights just for bike rack well worth it.

Outstanding service. I needed a trailer hitch for a brand new 2020 BMW X5 - cannot get it installed thru BMW (only if I ordered the car with trailer hitch - which I didn't). Researched on etrailer.com and found the exact part with instructions. The hitch was delivered on-time - speedy as well. Took it down to the auto shop and they installed without issue - looks just like factory. Extremely happy with etrailer.com. Thanks guys and gals!

Got for my 2021 x5 (G05). My installer was able to install without any issues. It does block the kick to open tailgate feature, but that’s what I expected from a fixed hitch.

Great hitch fits great

Good customer service, follow up and high touch customer service we’re solid!

I've bought multiple hitches and wiring harnesses from E-trailer and always excellent service and fast delivery.



by:

This was the only hitch that fit my car, yet you stocked it. Web info prior to purchase was complete and accurate. Ordering was simple. Pricing was extremely fair and delivery was amazingly prompt. There was even follow up to ensure that the product had been delivered and was in good shape as promised. Excellent experience! Would definitely do business with this company again!

Third hitch purchased from etrailer. Product as described, fast delivery, and quality hitch



by:

Have not installed yet. Initial thoughts are that design, welds and machining are spot on. I did have several large portions of powder coating that flaked off completely to bare metal. This was largely due to packing and shipping.



by:

Received the hitch today, installed it today. Why only 4 stars? The printed documentation wasn't complete as compared to the PDF available on line and the photos printed in b/w were too small and almost useless. Other than that, everything fit once I figured out how it was supposed to fit and the hitch is quality so I'm happy.



by:

Perfect hook for trailer. Would purchase again - came quickly too!!

Great customer service on the phone helping me decide the correct hitch for my car. 2 day delivery. Thanks !!

  • Picture of Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch on BMW X5
    I attached a picture of the Draw-Tite # 76288 on an X5. It's from the install details so it isn't the best picture in the world but you can see the hitch. It actually has a ball mount inserted into it. We haven't had the chance to install one here so we don't have a better picture of a video yet. If you let me know what you plan to use the hitch for I can make some additional recommendations.

  • Installing Hitch On A 2020 BMW X5 With Automatic Trunk Sensor
    As part of the installation instructions it is required to drop the exhaust and disconnect sensor wiring. The sensor later gets reconnected and will work with your hitch. I did contact the manufacturer on your behalf to confirm this hitch is a fit for all models of the X5 except for the M sport package. We also checked their records to see any reports of this hitch not working or special installation instructions required with the sensor and found no concerns so the Draw Tite # 76288...

  • Does the Draw-Tite Hitch for a 2022 BMW X5 Require Trimming the Fascia
    The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76288 that is confirmed to fit your 2022 BMW X5 will require you to trim the fascia on your bumper and mounting plate. But these trimmings are not going to be visible with the hitch installed. You will need to trim off a small section of the fascia as shown in the first photo. In addition to that trimming, the bumper beam mounting plate will need to be slightly trimmed by 1 inch like shown in the second photo. All of this is covered in more...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2020 BMW X5
    The trailer hitch that you'll need to use for your 2020 BMW X5 is the Draw-Tite # 76288. It is currently (as of November 2019) the only trailer hitch fit available for your X5 (excluding the M performance model) but it is still an excellent option because it has the larger 2" receiver and features a hidden cross tube. This combination means that you can carry a wide variety of accessories while maintaining an OEM look since only the 2" receiver is visible once installed. If you let me...

  • Fit of Draw-Tite Class III Hitch 76288 on 2021 BMW X5 Hybrid
    According to Draw-Tite, their # 76288 Class III hitch is a fit for all models of the 2021 BMW X5 with the only fit exception being vehicles with the M Sport package. The hitch will work just find on your hybrid X5. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll need a trailer wring harness like # 119250KIT, as well as a ball mount kit like part # 989900 which includes two ball mounts, a 2 inch and a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball and two hitch pins.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2020 BMW X5 to Carry Thule Bike Rack
    The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2020 BMW X5 is the Draw Tite # 76288 as it has plenty of weight capacity for your Thule T2 part # TH9044, is the more popular 2 inch hitch size, and has a mostly hidden appearance which also helps with ground clearance. Check out the picture I attached for more info as well.

  • Recommended Hitch and Wiring for my 2019-2020 BMW X5
    The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76288 is a custom fit hitch for the 2019-2020 BMW X5 non M Model. The 2" is in reference to the size of the receiver tube opening instead of the ball size. Any 2" accessories like the Curt Fusion Ball Mount for 2" Hitches part # C45151 which has the 1-7/8" ball for you to use. There will be no added benefits that I know of going with a factory hitch. Always good to check though. Yes a repair or body shop would be a great place to...

  • Recommended Trailer Towing Setup for 2020 BMW X5
    You are 100 percent correct that in order to tow with your 2020 BMW X5 you will need a trailer hitch along with a trailer wiring harness to power your trailer lights and a ball mount which will attach your trailer to your BMW. Let's start with the hitch and for that I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76288 because it does not require any drilling to install which is great for your BMW, and because it has a concealed crosstube so your 2020 X5 will maintain it's distinguished...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for 2020 BMW X5
    Draw-Tite offers the # 76288 which is a confirmed fit for the 2020 BMW X5, unless it is an M model in which case a hitch isn't available at this time. If you think you might use the hitch for towing purposes at some later date, you'd need a trailer wiring harness # 119250KIT (no cutting or splicing required) and a ball mount kit like # 989900, which includes 2 ball mounts, two trailer balls and hitch pins/clips. I've linked to some installation instructions for you.

  • 2020 BMW X5 M Sport Trailer Hitch Recommendation
    When we've reached out to Draw-Tite in the past about the Trailer Hitch # 76288 fitment on a BMW X5 with the M Sport package they've referenced excessive fascia trimming and the muffler as being the cause for a non-fitment. Because of this I recommend going with the Stealth Hitches alternative for your 2020 BMW X5 M Sport which comes in the following packages: - For Carrying Accessories # SH89VR - For Towing and Carrying Accessories # SH25VR

    To pull your jet ski, you will need the trailer hitch, a ball mount, a tow ball, and trailer wiring for the necessary lighting like brake and turn signals. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76288 is a fine choice for pulling your jet ski trailer. The ball mount needed is really determined by how much drop or rise you need.

The EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 306-X7265 you referenced is only a fit for 2013-2018 models without backup sensors but it does fit both M models as well as those that are not M performance models.

  • Wireless Or Wired Trailer Brake Controller For a 2022 BMW X5 With Factory Tow Package
    The Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 is going to be the easiest solution for adding a brake controller on your 2022 BMW X5 with the factory tow package. The biggest benefit is there is no wiring being added on your BMW. A hardwired option like the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller # TK90160 takes up space on your dash and may be less desirable to see every day.

  • Does the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 76288 Require Trimming On a 2020 BMW X5
    The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76288 is the perfect option for a 2020 BMW X5 as it has a hidden cross tube which means only the receiver tube will be present, therefore the overall look once installed will be very sleek. That said, because of the hidden and sleek design you will need to do some slight trimming to a plastic trim panel under the vehicle's rear bumper fascia. However, this trimming is very minor and unnoticeable from outside the vehicle so please don't...

  • Does 2019 BMW X5 Use Same Trailer Hitch as 2017 Model
    Since the 2017 and 2019 BMW X5 are from 2 different generations, unfortunately there are enough differences between the 2017 and 2019 model years that a hitch from the 2017 model year wouldn't fit on a 2019. The Curt # 13077 is indeed a fit for the 2017 model, but they don't offer one for the 2019. For the 2019, you'd use the Draw-Tite # 76288. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll need a trailer wiring harness, a ball mount and a trailer ball. For wiring, I'd recommend the # 119250KIT....

The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 3 Axles - Proportional # RED44FR is a great choice for a brake controller if you want actual hardware and a knob to use instead of your mobile device.

  • Does Install of Draw-Tite 76288 Require Bumper Trimming on 2020 BMW X5
    According to Draw-Tite, fascia trimming would indeed be required to install the # 76288 on your 2020 BMW X5. The good news is that the trimming is done to the underside of the fascia, so the trimmed area isn't very visible from the rear of the vehicle, as shown in the provided photo. All the hitches offered for the 2020 X5 will require some trimming, compared to the Stealth # SH89VR, the Draw-Tite # 76288 would require a very small amount of trimming.

The 2 inch receiver opening will also allow for just about any bike rack as well. If you do not already have a bike rack, we definitely have some options available. With that being said, I included a couple options for platform style racks for you check out. First will be the RockyMounts WestSlope Bike...
