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.

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!

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.

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!

It fit perfectly thank you so much already hang my bike on it

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:

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:

Easy and straight forward unnatural process. Works great no problems.



by:

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.



by:

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



by:
2021 Dodge Durango

so easy to install, online video was spot on with the instructions right down to the socket sizes needed.



by:

Everything fits perfect the only problem is the Botoom part doesn't have the support for bumper where 2 bottom bolts goes.



by:

The easiest thing to install. Highly re commend.

Dodge Durango

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.

Thank you for letting us know! We will get you that harness. I have already sent your information to our customer service team and they will be getting in touch.

Very happy with the product. Was able to install as shown in the video.



by:

Just got it. Looks good! Had to wait a little but no problem. We’ll get it installed this week. Thanks!



by:

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:

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:
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:

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.

  • How Does Install Hardware Thread Through Frame for Trailer Hitch for 2017 Dodge Durango
    The method to get the bolt and spacer through the frame of your 2017 Dodge Durango is called "fishwiring" which you can see the entire process outlined in the install video link I attached.

  • Can 7-Way Trailer Wiring Harness 30955 Fit 2018 Dodge Durango RT
    Your 2018 Dodge Durango RT most likely has the tow package so to find where the connector is you'd need to look behind the rear bumper most likely on the driver side of the vehicle to find what the # 30955 needs to plug into. The Draw Tite hitch that fits your vehicle # DT38MR does not have a mounting bracket so you'd need to attach the 7-way to the lower edge of the vehicle bumper with the included hardware. Then for a brake controller the Prodigy P2 part # 90885 is a great option that...

  • Best Hidden Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Dodge Durango
    My favorite trailer hitch for your 2019 Dodge Durango is the Draw Tite part # DT38MR because it installs behind the rear fascia cut out designed for a hitch so that when not in use you can cover it. See picture. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. For trailer wiring you'd want the part # 118617 too. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch...

  • Will the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit a 2015 Dodge Durango with Full Size Spare
    The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT38MR which is a fit for your 2015 Dodge Durango is designed to work with a factory full size spare tire that has a steel wheel which I have attached a photo of for you. If you have a steel wheel then yes the hitch will fit but if you have an alloy wheel like what is on the vehicle then the hitch will not fit. If you can send me a photo of your spare tire I would be happy to confirm this for you.

  • Trailer Wiring for a 2018 Dodge Durango GT
    I agree the Draw-Tite, part # DT38MR, is the best looking hitch available for your 2018 Dodge Durango. If the trailer you're going to be towing has a 4-way connector then I recommend the Hopkins, part # HM11142214. The converter box mounts with two screws instead of one or just double sided tape like the other options. A lot of the times we see issues with wiring it's because the converter box took a hit from not being mounted well enough and damaged it. The extra screw will help...

  • Does Hitch Need to be Replaced on 2015 Dodge Durango Involved in Collision
    If the OEM hitch on your 2015 Dodge Durango took the brunt of the damage to the point the safety chain loops were bent then that leads me to believe there could very well be other damage to the hitch and you'll want to look for places where the paint is chipping away or you see any stress fractures. It might be best to just swap out to an aftermarket trailer hitch like the Draw-Tite # DT38MR so you know the hitch integrity hasn't been compromised but you might wait to see what your shop...

  • Can Hitches for 2020 Dodge Durango Fit With Spare Larger than 18 inch Wheel Size
    All of the hitches we offer for your 2020 Dodge Durango like the Draw Tite part # DT38MR do not fit with spare sizes that are larger than 18 inches. Now if what you have truly is smaller in overall diameter than a standard tire size that fits your vehicle the hitch would fit with it. The 18 inch tire size that fits your vehicle has a diameter of 30.5 inches so you'd want to measure the diameter of your spare and make sure it's less than 30.5 inches.
