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.

Haven’t put it to the test yet with actual towing, but as far as install goes it was super easy. The videos provided by etrailer were thorough and easy to follow along with. The daunting task of pulling off the rear bumper on my new car was less scary after having seen it done. Looks great!

Great hitch receiver at a great price!!
Fast delivery
Installed by my regular mechanic in less than an hour

2014 Dodge Durango
The installation videos on durango (mine 2014) were extremely helpful. Especially how to remove the bumper facia. I found it was unnecessary to drop the exhaust system. The fish wires to pull the carriage bolt and bar were very helpful. on the passenger side, i needed to have the bar and bolt go into the cavity one at a time and had to be careful how the bar landed to allow it to reassemble by pulling on the fish wire.

I feel confident of the integrity of the hitch. No issues on my occasional use with my trailer 2-5k and hitch carrier. Id buy again when needed for another vehicle.

2018 Dodge Durango
I am a first time user of e-trailer. My experience was a good one. The parts that I had ordered arrived very quickly for not having to pay any shipping, good on you e-trailer. I had watched the video on installing my new draw tite receiver. It was a completely custom fit for my 2018 Durango. And the video was spot on. As I saw in other reviews most did not like that they use ty-wraps to hold the bottom part of the fascia, so I went a step farther and drilled and tapped two 1/4x20 holes in the bottom of the reciever and screwed it on to the bottom (see pics) worked great. The only problem I had was the collar on the reciever was not welded on in the right spot, just a bit off. That made it difficult to push a hitch ball in or in my case a bike rack(also purchased for e-trailer, but with a bit of filing all good. Thanks guys for getting everything here quickly.

I have not used it a bunch yet, but when I first installed it we went on a trip to Michigan. It was about a 5-6 hour drive. I hauled 4 adult bicycles on the hitch and bike rack purchased from e-trailer. They made the trip flawlessly, both directions. I was and are very satisfied with e-trailer and the equipment purchased from them, would recommend them to anyone. Thanks guys!

So happy I purchased this hitch from etrailer. The installation went perfectly.
They though of everything and I loved the fish cables the best.
Very fast shipping..great customer service.. very detailed videos for installs.
It’s not to often companies value good business anymore.
I will definitely buy from etrailer again.
Excellent service. They deserve more then 5 stars.
by: Zach08/29/2023
So this hitch is great! It is a decent amount of work to put in by your self so I suggest asking for help. Even with help, be ready to put some work in. In my opinion it is worth it because this recover hides in the bumper so you can put cover on to make your Durango look slick. Now the only reason why I give it 3 stars, is because it’s very difficult to get the chains to snap on to the loops. It’s very inconvenient but this problem could probably be fixed with adding in some quick link hooks. If it wasn’t for that, I’d give it 5 stars!

2017 Dodge Durango
We are using this hitch package on our 2017, Durango GT to tow a new (single) personal watercraft. Delivery communication was delivery only took a few days. We had it professionally installed with no issues. I love that the hitch receiver is mostly hidden within the bumper cover (when in use) and that the removable OEM hitch cover fits perfectly with no interference (when not in use), all while maintaining OEM ground clearance. Very slick and MUCH less $$ than the OEM.
by: Tim 02/21/2024
Easy and straight forward unnatural process. Works great no problems.
by: Mike11/05/2021
Product came in on time and as described! The associated videos showing install was extremely helpful and they made the install very easy! I had a few different tools so I did not have to drop the exhaust, but I appreciate that they showed how to do it for those that may have to. Results came out awesome and the hardware included the body pins which was helpful. The only thing I would ask for would be the clips for the lower facia to be reinstalled instead of using zip ties.

Excellent product. Very thorough directions. It made installation very easy.

I am very pleased how well it fit on my 2022 Dodge Durango SXT. It took my son and I just over an hour to complete installation. We watched the provided installation video and never had to look at the instructions. Side note, we didn’t remove the spare, lower the exhaust, or cut the plastic as shown in the video.

by: Chris09/20/2022
Fast shipping. Awesome instructional videos. Was able to install my hitch with the bumper mod so it was hidden when not in use. definitely reccomend to anyone looking for trailer/cargo accessories. Next purchase, roof racks!
by: Jeff 08/24/2022
I much prefer this hitch rather than the low-mount hitches. Installation was definitely more involved than the non-hidden receivers. My biggest complaint with this receiver is the attachment points for the trailer safety chains. It's impossible to get the safety chain hooks onto the mount rings, which ultimately requires the use of either quick links, or another (adequately rated) attachment technique.
by: Chris 10/29/2022
2020 Dodge Durango
Rather simple install as I did it in a little less than 2 hours on our 2020 Durango GT. You do not have to let down the spare tire as the directional video shows ( 18" spare tire and I used a ratchet instead of electric impact ). Also didn't have to cut out the bumper cover any.
by: Brandon 01/04/2023
Has worked flawless, I really like the fact that it sits behind the flat factory cover and my spare tire was able to stay in place.

- Does Draw Tite Hitch work with ATV Curt Ball Mount for 2014 Dodge DurangoThe Draw Tite hitch part # DT38MR is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Dodge Durango and would work great with just the ball mount portion of the # C45029 but since you'd already have a hitch you wouldn't need this full kit and could instead use just the part # C45005 instead.
view full answer... - Does Draw Tite Hitch # DT38MR Fit 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Loredo w/o Removable FasciaThe Draw Tite hitch part # DT38MR is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo and would still fit whether you had the removable rear fascia or not. At worst you'd just have to trim the rear fascia of your vehicle so that your hitch could fit through it.
view full answer... - Can Fascia Panel Be Reinstalled After Draw-Tite Hitch is Installed on 2019 Jeep Grand CherokeeMy contact at Draw-Tite confirms that once their 76432 hitch which we offer as part # DT38MR is installed on a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited X, the door in the fascia WILL be able to be reinstalled. You'll remove it to use the hitch, and replace it when you're not. If you click the provided link, you can see an install video for the hitch.

- Can You Upgrade The Trailer Hitch If Your Vehicle's Towing Capacity Exceeds The Hitch Capacity If the capacity of your vehicle is higher than the hitch then you can definitely swap to a higher rated hitch to match the capacity of the vehicle. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT38MR you were looking at would be the right fit for your Durango. It has a 7,500lb capacity but you'll still be limited to the 7,200lb capacity of the vehicle. This hitch will replace the impact structure at the rear of the vehicle and will require trimming of the fascia. it will also only allow...

This hitch fits Durango's from 2011-2021 and multiple models of Jeep Grand Cherokee's from 2011-2022 including a diesel. It looks like your 2017 Dodge Durango has a 6,200 to 7,400 lbs capacity, depending on the trim package you have. You will want to check your owners manual or call the dealership and give them your VIN to confirm. Just because the hitch...
view full answer... - How to Balance a Load When Towing With a 2020 Dodge DurangoIf you are referring to rubber spacers/washers that would install between the frame and the Draw-Tite 76196, allowing it to flex and level out when there is more weight on one side, then we do not. We also highly discourage installing the hitch in this manner. These have specific torque ratings for the install to keep everything secure to the vehicle. If these are not followed, there could be a catastrophic failure while towing a trailer or carrying an accessory, which would be very bad....

Do be sure to check your spare tire size as this receiver will only allow you to keep your spare tire underneath your Durango if it is on a 18" or smaller spare tire. For the wiring you will first need a T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118617 for connecting to your tail lights. This will then connect to the Universal Installation...

This hitch has the best towing capacities and has a mostly hidden appearance. Please note the linked product review and installation video of this hitch on a 2020 model year Dodge Durango. For the wiring, at present, there isn't a "plug-and-play" 7-way harness available for the 2021 Dodge Durango. However, I suggest you install the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, # 118617 from Tekonsha. ...

- Can the Spare Be Stored Under a 2019 Dodge Durango Once a Hitch is Installed?The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class IV- 2" # DT38MR will fit models with an 18" or smaller spare tire that is stored under vehicle. With that being said, if your spare tire is larger than this, it will not be able to be stored under the vehicle, unfortunately. I double checked and all the hitch options we have for a 2019 Dodge Durango will have the same restriction for the spare tire as well.

We actually have two that fit the EcoDiesel models of the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. They're made by Draw-Tite who owns Reese now. Which one you need will depend on whether or not your Grand Cherokee Limited has the cut out in the rear bumper. I have listed both options below: With the Cut Out- Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch item # DT38MR Without the Cut Out - Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch item # 75713

After a year I still love this hitch. Looks great, tows great, not a single complaint. As a consumer I feel I am often very critical of products and I honestly have nothing I can find wrong with it. If you’re on the fence, get it! You won’t be disappointed.
