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.

2007 Toyota Tundra
This was one of the easiest accessories I’ve installed on my Tundra. It is a front receiver hitch so I don’t use it very often. Mostly just for bike racks when towing a trailer, but when you need it you need it.

Straight forward and perfect fit on my 2008 Toyota Tundra!!

These is an excellent hitch at an excellent price. The install was easy and all the hardware that is needed is in the box. I chose the Drawtite over the Curt because the receiver end is a little longer. It' not even noticeable on the truck. I have a snow plow that attaches to the hitch. The Toyota cap shown in the picture was not included. The Tundra is a 2020 so I can confirm if fits.

The hitch is high quality and fit perfectly on my truck.

I received my order in 2 days. Installed it 5 days later. Perfect fit. I used my floor jack to raise it into place and installed bolts. I had a technical question about the correct torque value. Called E-Trailer and was promptly answered by Rebecca. She gave me the information I needed and I finished the installation. I haven't tried to use it yet. Very pleased. This is my second order from E-Trailer and I highly recommend them.

We use this with an aluminum rack to haul a Honda 150cc scooter when we go camping. The only negative is how low it is -- ended up buying a 2" riser/extension which made it much more functional. Not really the fault of the hitch, just the reality of the mounting points. If you end up needing a riser make sure you get one with the proper weight rating as some are just made for lightweight bicycle racks.

The product looks well built. The shipping box arrived with some minor damage and chipped some paint that will need some touch up prior to install. Id reco adding a little more protection to prevent this. Overall I'm happy with the purchase and quick shipping and will install this weekend.

Excellent value easy to install and works great.

Yes , my 2019 tundra is beach ready and the fishing rods are not broken.... with the front hitch and rod cooler on the front the 4x4 on the beach is that much easier. Yes 3 friends are looking at doing the same setup. I added a flag to remind me there is 3 extra feet in front of the truck when the rods are not in the holders.

We have a truck camper, and needed more room for our camping equipment. Purchased this front hitch from etrailer, and it has been awesome. Have used it to carry our generator, and bought a cargo tray that we use also. Love it! Thanks!

Great fit and good quality

Hitch worked perfect and thanks for the instructions . My only regret is that I didn't think about drilling a hole in the skid plate myself for changing the oil filter ha! Again thanks hitch work perfect and looks good !

It was easy to install but for the hole saw on the belly pan. It makes dialing in a pontoon in a tight spot a enjoyable process.

Works just as I had hoped. Easy to install, looks good on vehicle. I use it mainly to hold a rod and cooler rack on my Tundra. The bolt and bracket keeps
it from rattling. High quality, good price.

Installation wasn't very difficult. I was very happy to add a hitch to the front of my truck. I installed to be able to put a hitch mounted winch or bike rack. The pictures others have posted how it sits on the truck. I found that it sits to far back from the bumper for my needs. Everything I need to attach needs and extension to clear the bumper. I wouldn't repurchase and install if I knew. The hitch itself is manufactured well and works as expected for a bolt on application.

2012 Toyota Tundra
For my 2012 Toyoda Tundra, the installation is very simple and straight forward. Remove the 4 bolts holding the 2 front tow hooks in place. Position the new front hitch between the tow hooks and the frame, then install the 4 new bolts. The hitch is now directly bolted to the truck frame and the tow hooks are still usable.

- Recommended Method For Moving 7500lb Boat Trailer Around In Tight SpaceI have a different option for you, but the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch # 65080 you were looking at for your 2008 Toyota Tundra is only rated for 500lbs tongue weight, so you will not be able to use it to move your 7500lbs boat trailer with 750-850lbs tongue weight. Instead I recommend using a trailer dolly like the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive # TVXL25 if your trailer uses a 2-5/16" hitch ball, or the # TVXL2 if your trailer uses a 2" hitch ball. These trailer...
view full answer... - Can Front Hitch Fit with Push Bar on 2011 Toyota TundraI wish I could say yes but front hitches and push bars/grille guards install in the same area and to the same part of the truck so you'd have to pick between the hitch like the # 65080 and the bar.
view full answer... - Do Tow Hooks Remain When Installing Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch on 2020 Toyota TundraStarting with the tow hooks, those will remain on your 2020 Toyota Tundra when installing the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65080. They will be temporarily removed, but will be bolted back on. In regards to the hole, there is a small hole you will need to enlarge in the skid shield to allow for access to the oil filter. And as for how much hangs down, it will be the crosstube of the hitch. I have added a photo a customer sent in of this hitch installed on their 2020...

- Can Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch 65080 Mount Snow PlowYes, you can absolutely mount a snow plow like the SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2" Hitches # SB324-080 you referenced on the Draw-Tite front-mounted hitch you asked about: - Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65080 This hitch, which fits 2007 and up Toyota Tundras and Sequoias, meets the necessary standards and has a 500 lb vertical load limit (which is like tongue weight for a front-mount hitch), and the SnowBear weighs 315 lbs, so it has more than the necessary capacity.

- Front-Mounted Hitch Receiver for 2017 Toyota Tundra 4X4We can offer you a choice of two 2-inch front-mounted hitches for your 2017 Toyota Tundra. You can see both the Curt and Draw-Tite options by clicking on the link provided. Both Curt hitch # 31198 and Draw-Tite hitch # 65080 share 500-lb vertical load and 9000-lb line pull ratings. Both are no-drill installations using included hardware. The Curt has the advantage on price so I suggest this one over the Draw-Tite. Installation instructions are linked for you.

view full answer... - Will Front Mount Trailer Hitch # 65080 Fit a 2008 Toyota Tundra TRD with Off Road PackageThe Draw-Tite front mount hitch # 65080 is listed as fitting all styles of the 2008 Toyota Tundra. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. The hitch has a 500 pound vertical load capacity but you need to determine the capacity of the front axle to know if you can add a carrier and bike to the the front of the truck. Front mount hitches are made more for winching applications where there is not as much vertical load.

You should be able to loosen the skid plate enough to move the skid plate out of the way enough without having to remove the entire hitch. I have linked the installation instructions for you to view. The receiver will be just below the lowest trim piece on the front bottom of the vehicle to give you an idea of ground clearance. I included a picture...

- Comparing Curt and Draw Tite Front Hitches for 2018 Toyota TundraFor your 2018 Toyota Tundra we have the Curt front hitch part # 31198 and the Draw Tite part # 65080 both as a confirmed fit and both really good options. Both install the exact same and have same capacities, but I like the Curt better as it's made in the USA and the Draw Tite is not. I attached a picture that shows the hitch installed for you to check out as well.

- Distance From Hitch Tube To Receiver of Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch For 2020 Toyota TundraI was able to get the measurements you were looking for of the Draw-Tite front mount hitch that fits your 2020 Toyota Tundra, which is the following: - Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65080 The hitch is similar to the Curt # 31198 in that it measures 3-5/8 inches from the hitch pin hole to the front of the crosstube, and 6 inches from the crosstube to the front of the hitch. We haven't had a chance to install either hitch on a Tundra, but I did add some photos for you that...

- Does Skid Shield have to be Removed for a Front Hitch on a 2018 Toyota TundraOn the Curt front mount receiver # 31198 there is a note stating that the skid shield will either have to be removed or you can trim it and reinstall in on your 2018 Toyota Tundra. For the Draw-Tite receiver # 65080 we have a note stating that the skid shield must be removed but nothing about being able to reinstall it. Some customers have noted that they had to make or enlarge a hole on a bottom panel in order to be able to change the oil. You may also consider using the Bike Bunk,...
view full answer... - Do I Lose The Tow Hooks When Installing Draw Tite Front Mount Hitch # 65080 on a 2012 Toyota TundraGood news! You will not have to sacrifice your tow hooks on your 2012 Toyota Tundra when installing the Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch # 65080. The installation instructions are attached, and the very first step is to remove the hooks, but, keep them to reinstall later. Just a side note is that if your Tundra has a front skid shield it will need to be removed so you will have access to your engine oil filter.

- Is Skid Shield Trimming Required if Door is Present to Access Oil Filter on 2021 Toyota TundraThe Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65080 is designed to fit the Toyota Tundra starting with the 2007 model. It is likely that the door for oil filter access you're referencing on your 2021 was added later or is present in certain trim packages so the instructions don't reflect it. As long as you are able to access the oil filter there is no need to cut the 4" hole.
view full answer... - Is Bull Bar For 2021 Toyota Tundra Compatible With Front Mount HitchA bull bar for your 2021 Toyota Tundra such as the Aries Stealth Bull Bar # AAB35-2004-3 is not compatible with a front-mounted trailer hitch, with the right fit for that on your Tundra being the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65080. Even though the factory tow hooks remain with the hitch on, and the bull bar installs where the tow hooks are, there would be interference between the two.
view full answer... - Can I Remove the Skid Plate Once I Install the Draw-Tite Front Hitch 65080 on a 2018 Toyota Tundra?Yes, that is correct. In order to remove the skid plate for your 2018 Toyota Tundra you would have to uninstall the Draw-Tite Front Hitch item # 65080.

Both are high quality hitches that wil do the job but the Draw-Tite is my recommendation as it's stronger with a 500lb rated for the vertical load which is the tongue weight of the front mount hitch. This is the amount of weight the hitch can carry, and the line pull capacity is the...
view full answer... - Will the Front Mount Trailer Hitch for a 2007 Toyota Tundra Work with a Bull Bar/Brush GuardIn order to install a front mount trailer hitch on a 2007 Toyota Tundra like the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 65080 which is what I recommend you'll need to remove any existing bush guard or bull bar. The reason for this is because the two almost always use the same mounting holes for installation. That said, this is the case for almost every vehicle not just a Toyota Tundra. The front mount trailer hitch is going to be much more functional than a bull bar or brush...

You are going to have to get through all of that to get whatever coat of paint on you want to add. You can just scuff the powder coat and paint over it.

This will sandwich the hitch between the tow loops and the vehicle frame. I have linked the installation instructions for you to review.

What you could do is install a front hitch on your 2015 Toyota Tundra with the Draw Tite part # 65080 and then use a motorcycle carrier like part # E98873 and you'd be able to still tow your trailer. Since that would be quite a bit of weight on the front suspension I'd also recommend the...

The other front receiver option that fits your truck, # 65080, requires removal of the skid plate so it would not be an issue unless you wanted to keep the ski plate..

Hitch has been working as expected. After one year it still looks as good as when I installed it. They use alot of road salt where I live but the hitch has no rust on it.
