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.

Easily attach a variety of accessories to the front of your vehicle with this fully welded, corrosion-resistant trailer hitch receiver. Perfect for winches, spare tire carriers and more.by: Garth05/02/2022
The "no drill" aspect is really nice. The wire bolt guides are a huge helper.
The instructions are very good except for detailing where to cut the trim. This lead to me cutting more than I would have needed to. That part was not good.
I recommend having vehicle up on ramps and then using a car jack to support weight of the hitch as it is quite heavy to hold up as you begin to assemble to the frame.

Very sturdy hitch, extremely easy install. If you already have your air dam removed there is no cutting or modification at all, completely bolt on. Make sure you have both front load bearing washers centered before you completely bolt down the hitch. I didn't need any alignment washers on the back brace it was very level as is, if you are using this for winching keep in mind it will affect your approach exit angles. Overall a great product!

2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
We installed my new front mount trailer hitch this morning on my 2003 1500 4x4 pickup (new body style) we opened the box at 7:39 AM and complete at 8:14 AM (35 MINUTES) The instructions and materials furnished to me by you was top shelf.I had my truck up on my service rack which I am sure helped the install but I know I could have installed laying on the ground in less than 1 hour.Obviousley your R&D Department are doing there job and understand a lot of us self perform work on our vehicles.I do not want to leave out the order process and the people that pull orders and the shipping department everything went text book for me. I took pictures of the entire install I can email from my phone if I could get a email address I do not know how to add them to this review

Solid hitch

I bought this front mount trailer hitch for my GMC work truck for moving boats and also we hook a large sliding winch to the front of the truck.
This was super easy for me to install by myself and it’s performed flawlessly so far really happy with it.
by: Alan 07/08/2023
everything from ordering to fitment of the hitch was top notch. Thanks Alan
by: Eddie C.03/19/2014
nicely made. Good instructions. Mounting holes in the hitch did not align exactly right with the truck frame holes - close but had to really work at it. Finally went in correctly and the hitch is solid. I took the entire air dam off because it looked like we'd have to cut almost in two anyway.

Chevrolet Suburban
I’ll always have a front hitch on any truck/suburban from now on. So convenient for coolers and for loading up a deer. Pulling camper didn’t allow me to have my cargo basket until now. No more putting coolers in the suburban.
by: JimV09/09/2022
I did a lot of research on front hitches for my suburban. I liked this one because it tucks un right under the license plate. Yes, you have to cut the air dam, but it is worth it to keep the ground clearance. No drilling as well - a major plus!

Great.....
by: Sidney10/22/2018
I use it on my truck to move my trailered boats.
Much easier to push a boat backwards with truck
than to back with truck. Especially in tight spots.
Note:
I use a 5 wire trailer wiring kit (3 wires cutoff) to
disable brakes on surge trailer brakes when
pushing backwards.

Hidden Hitch front hitch installed easily in about 2 hours. Hitch was in good shape from shipping but the etrailer shipping box was mostly destroyed by the freight handlers ??! Good news is---the hitch being one piece with all the parts secured to it by plastic wrap was not breakable. Installed hitch with a perfect fit. Trimming the front air dam below the bumper was easy with a hacksaw and Exacto knife.
by: Luke05/16/2021
Almost easy to install, for some reason alignment was difficult with the small bolts. Still not bad. Very happy overall.

2011 ChevroletSilverado
Installed on 2011 Silverado Z71 4 X 4. It took about an hour to install.
The hitch is made of thick steel and should be very strong. Installation kit included everything needed. My truck has an aluminum skit plate that I needed to trim a 1/4 " notch out of at the spot the hitch meets the cross member. I needed to trim the lower part of the air dam too. The instructions say to install extra washers between the cross member and the hitch to make it level, the front of this one is angled up slightly with no washers installed. I also had to touch up the chipped paint so it won't rust as quickly.

Very easy and straightforward instruction to install with everything you need with out needing to remove any car parts.
by: Chris05/31/2022
2012 ChevroletSilverado
Very impressed, it's a heavy duty hitch. Installation was not difficult at all on a 2012 Chevy Silverado WT 4x4, once I figured out I had to temporarily remove the front tow hooks to enable the hitch bolt and retainer enough room to slide in place. Tow hook removal and replacement was easy, use an 18mm socket.
by: Ricardo 03/16/2020
Item arrived quickly and in great shape. Install went easy with zero issues. Took me about an hour to install but I worked at my leisure and didn’t rush. Product looks sturdy and bolted right up according to instructions. I recommend removing tow hooks and valance for ease of installation. I trimmed the balance and it looks like it came from the factory. Highly recommend both the hitch and etrailer for anyone looking to do the same. Thanks Etrailer!
by: Doug 03/09/2021
Works great with the snow plow. I haven’t used it with the bike rack yet. It was easy to install thanks to the wires that put the nuts in the tight spot. Overall a good quality product.
by: Jack B04/25/2011
2011 ChevroletSilverado
I installed this on a 2011 4WD Silverado. It went well once I removed the air dam. I want to use a front mount bike rack while towing a travel trailer.
by: Brian04/13/2019
2010 GMC Yukon
This is a very well-built product. It gives a lot of confidence. I won't ever have anything more than a bike rack attached to it, so it's a bit overkill for my use, but that's ok. I installed it on a 2010 GMC Yukon. It does push up on the center of the front bumper plastic even after cutting the air dam. Overall, I'm happy with it.
by: Geoff M07/02/2014
2008 ChevroletSilverado
The hitch I received work perfect. The only thing is if you have tow hooks you will half to remove them. It makes it a lot easier to install hitch. Then replace tow hooks.

Front hitch Installed easily and fit my Sierra 1500 perfectly. Fast shipping and friendly service. I'll buy from etrailer again!

Easy installation and such an ease of place 23 ft travel trailer back into its spot after camping trip.

Quality item, quickly shipped. I used your recommendation for a local installer, who had it on in less than half an hour. I'm already using it!

See what our Experts say about this Draw-Tite Front Receiver Hitch
- Front Mounted Hitch Compatible With 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 65050 is not compatible with your 2011 Silverado 2500. That hitch is a fit for 2007-2010 model years of the 2500. I get why you want a nicer profile, however the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 65052 needs that space to insert a hitch pin. Another option for you is the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # C31023. I've attached a video of the Curt hitch to assist...
view full answer... - Front Hitch Availability for the 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500The only front mount hitches that are available or your 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500 are ones that locate the hitch opening below the front bumper of the truck like the Curt Hitch part # 31322 or the Draw Tite Hitch part # 65052. Often times the lower hitches are preferred for people looking to plow snow like with the K2 # K2AVAL8219.
view full answer... - Front Hitch for 2007 Chevy Tahoe with Least Amount of DropThe Draw Tite hitch part # 65052 is a confirmed fit for your 2007 Chevy Tahoe and will bolt right up to the frame without any modification. It does drop down 7-3/4 inches from the frame where it attaches as well like you mentioned.
view full answer... - Front Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2012 GMC Sierra Denali 1500Yes, we can offer you two choices in a front-mount hitch receiver for your 2012 GMC Sierra Denali 1500. Both products, the Curt # 31322 and Draw-Tite # 65052, install without drilling and include all required mounting hardware. They also share identical capacities. It will be necessary to do some trimming of the front fascia to make room for the receiver tube on either hitch. A helpful installation video and article are linked for you.
view full answer... - Will Front Hitch for a 2013 Chevy Silverado Work with Bull BarThe Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 65052 for 1500 models or part # 65078 for 2500/3500 models will interfere with any front mounted bull bar or grille guards as they will mount in the same location. Therefore, I recommend removing the bull bar in order to install the trailer hitch.
view full answer... - Front Hitch Recommendation for 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 for Mounting WinchWhat you would need is a front hitch for attaching your winch to your 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500. For that you would need the part # 65052 which is a confirmed fit. Then for a winch mounting plate you would want the part # BDW20011 which will fit in the front hitch.
view full answer... - What Needs to be Trimmed to Install Draw-Tite Front Receiver on a 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500The part that needs to be trimmed on your 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500 to install Draw-Tite front receiver # 65052 is the front air dam which is below the bumper. It can either be trimmed or removed for installation and if it were me I would just remove it. A customer sent us a picture which I have included here showing the area needing to be trimmed. I have included a link to the instructions for you with additional information.

- Recommended Front Mount Hitch for a 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500There are only two options for front mounted hitches for your 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500. They are the Curt Front Hitch item # 31322 and the Draw-Tite item # 65052. Both of these hitches stick out below the front bumper and can not be adapted to go through it. The frames for the 2500 and 3500's are wider so you couldn't easily modify one of those to work with a 1500 either. Out of those two options I recommend the Draw-Tite Front Hitch item # 65052. The Draw-Tite is welded together where...
view full answer... - Recommended Front Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2010 Chevrolet Suburban Z71 The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65052 is not a confirmed fit for your 2010 Chevy Suburban Z71. The Z71 is excluded from their fit, so I recommend the Curt # C31012 instead. It will required drilling and some trimming of the front air dam. The 2 inch receiver opening is standard for all front mounted hitch applications. This will hang down about 2 inches from the bottom of your air dam to help you determine your ground clearance. I've attached a video of a similar...
view full answer... - Third Crossbar Solution for 2008 Chevy TahoeHey Brian, so we don't have a third crossbar option but I do have a somewhat similar option but it would require a front hitch like the Draw Tite part # 65052 installed on your 2008 Chevy Tahoe so you could use an upright hitch adapter like the Rhino Rack part # RTL002 which would give you an adjustable crossbar out in front of your Tahoe. You could also install this in your rear hitch too.
view full answer... - Difference Between Curt Hitch # 31322 and Draw Tite Hitch # 65052Both the Curt Front Hitch part # 31322 and the Draw Tite part # 65052 are a fit for the 2011 GMC Sierra 1500. They have similar prices, similar capacities and will give you a hitch opening in about the same location. Biggest difference is they are made by different brands and use different parts of the vehicle to mount the side brackets. Since the Draw Tite is totally welded and does not have any sections that are bolted together it would be what I would go with.
view full answer... - Front-Mounted Hitch Receivers for 2011 GMC Sierra 1500Curt front-mount hitch receiver # C31023 fits only 2500 and 3500 series Sierras but we do have two front hitches for your 2011 GMC Sierra 1500, part # 65052 from Draw-Tite and part # 31322 from Curt. Both 2-inch hitches are rated for 500-lbs of vertical load (tongue weight) and for a 9000-lb line pull. There are no higher-rated front hitches for your truck.
view full answer... - Front Hitch Recommendation for a 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500We carry a front hitch for your 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500 for that you would want, part # 65052. This hitch has a line pull capacity of 9,000 lbs and a tongue weight capacity of 500 lbs so as long as you stay under that you will be just fine.
view full answer... - Front Hitch that Fits 2012 Chevy Silverado 2WDAs long as your 2012 Chevy Silverado 2WD is a 1500 model the Draw Tite front hitch part # 65052 that you referenced will fit and work well. If instead you have a 2500/3500 model you'd want the part # 65078.
view full answer... - Draw-Tite Front Mount Receiver Hitch and Winch Mount for a 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500The front mount Draw-Tite hitch that fits your 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500 is # 65052. For a winch mount take a look at the # BDW20155 or the # BDW20011 from Bulldog Winch, and # C31010 from Curt. Current pricing is available on the product pages and you can see shipping options after adding them to the cart.
view full answer... - Which Front Hitch for 2007 Chevy Suburban Does Not Require Drilling to InstallBoth the Draw Tite front hitch part # 65052 and the Curt front hitch part # C31012 are a fit for your 2007 Chevy Suburban. Since the Draw Tite does not require drilling to install it would be the hitch I would go with. Both will require either trimming a square in the lower fascia or removing it altogether so the Draw Tite still has the advantage since it's no-drill. This would work great with a bike rack as well.
view full answer... - Front Hitch Fit for 2007 Tahoe Z71 PackageCurt offers a front hitch that fits Z71 models of the 2007 Chevy Tahoe like yours. For that you'd want the Curt hitch part # C31012 and you'd be set.
view full answer... - Front Hitch With More Ground Clearance For 2013 GMC YukonFor your 2013 GMC Yukon, the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65052 will give you about a 1/2 inch more ground clearance than the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31012. Having said that, I do recommend the Curt hitch over the Draw-Tite. While it does require drilling into the frame, that does make the installation simpler as it you'll simply bolt the hitch up into those holes. The Draw-Tite partially attaches to the frame's splash shield, and it also requires taping...
view full answer... - Does Draw Tite Front Hitch 65052 Fit 2010 Yukon XL DenaliI confirmed with Draw Tite that the front hitch part # 65052 is a confirmed fit for your 2010 GMC Yukon XL Denali so it will work well for you.
view full answer... - Can a Front Mount Trailer Hitch and Westin Bull Bar be Installed Together on a 2009 GMC Sierra 1500The issue is that bull bars, grille guards, base plates, and front mount trailer hitches all attach to basically the same place on the vehicle frame and/or occupy much of the same space in front of the vehicle. What this means is you could have one at a time only. But that might not be the case on your 2009 GMC Sierra 1500. Looking at the instructions for the Westin Bull Bars it appears that mount to the insides of the frame rails like # 32-2275 as an example. Draw-Tite front mount hitch...

We offer winch mounts like part # C31010 that can be connected to the vehicle via a front receiver like part # 65052 for your 1500 series. The winch can be mounted directly to a trailer as well, but if the winch is mounted independently of the vehicle or the trailer, it will be up to you to devise a mount and rig up a power supply. I would also recommend the Deluxe...
view full answer... - Recommended Front Mount Trailer Hitch for Bike Rack on a 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500For a front mounted hitch on your 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 I suggest the Draw-Tite # 65052. It's compatible with your truck and doesn't require any welding or drilling to install. However, there may be some minor trimming of your fascia. Also, as with any front mounted hitch, you will want to be cautious not to block your headlights and of a lack of airflow into your engine. If you still need a bike rack, the Swagman Original # S64400 is a great option that won't block your view...
view full answer... - Front Trailer Hitch Receiver Options For 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31322 and Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65052 are the 2 options available for a front mounted receiver on your 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Both of these receivers will sit below the bumper and have identical load ratings of 500lbs tongue weight, 5,000lbs trailer capacity and 9,000lbs line pull. The main difference is in the construction of the 2 parts and where they mount to the frame. The Draw-Tite # 65052 is all welded...
view full answer... - Front Hitch Receiver Compatible with 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500The front mounted hitch from your 2010 Silverado will not fit the 2019 model. For that newer truck you will need the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 65082 which is rated for 500 lbs vertical load. You may also be interested in the Front Mount Trailer Hitch License Plate Relocation Bracket # 5443. The 2010 version like # 65052 had very different mounting locations and only fit 2007-2013 model years.
