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.

2007 ToyotaTundra

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.



by:

Hitch was easy to install and has held up to all the abuse my 10,500 winch can dish out!



by:
2019 ToyotaTundra

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.

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.



by:

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



by:

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 hitch is high quality and fit perfectly on my truck.

It’s a high quality product and I have had no issues with it.



by:

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 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!



by:

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.

Very easy to install. Just what I wante d.

Really impressed with how quickly I received the hitch. Thanks!

2021 ToyotaTundra

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.

2019 ToyotaTundra

Excellent value easy to install and works great.

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 !

Great fit and good quality

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.

Still works great, has held up well over 1 year. Think it will last many more.



by:

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.



by:

It is still working well. I use it for light use nothing too heavy.



by:

Perfect fit, the front hitch makes moving the boat in a small storage space much easier.

Excellent quality, reasonable price and delivered early. Thumbs up to etrailer !!

2015 ToyotaTundra

Very heavy Well-built hitch. Fit perfe ct.



by:

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.

Thank you for reaching out! I wanted to recommend a hitch extender. I attached a link to our products and there are varying lengths to choose from depending on your needs.

Great service product arrived in perfect condition and in short order. Thank you so much



by:
2012 ToyotaTundra

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.

I am very pleased with the Draw-Tite front mount receiver.



by:

The hitch is of very good quality and was easy to install, all necessary hardware was included.
The only negative thing I have to say is about the installation diagram. Where it shows to cut a hole in the skid plate for oil filter removal is in the wrong place . It is not towards the center of the skidplate but to the right of where the instruction show it

Ricky

This hitch has been very good I use it for several different thing from parking the RV in tight places to hauling coolers to and from the deer lease

  • Is there a Front Receiver Hitch for a 2021 Toyota Tundra?
    Yes, we do have a front mount hitch for a 2021 Toyota Tundra. It is the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch item # 65080. This hitch has a 2" x 2" receiver and a 500 lbs vertical load limit.

  • Front Hitch Installation On A 2022 Toyota Tundra
    If your 2022 Toyota Tundra does not have tow hooks then don't worry about that part of the instructions. If you had tow hooks they would be removed to install the front mount hitch and then reattached. When installing the front mount hitch you will have to cut a 4 inch diameter hole on the skid shield to be able to install the Draw-Tite front hitch # 65080. I attached a diagram below of where to cut.

  • 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.

  • 2021 Toyota Sequoia Front Mount Hitch Fitment with Skid Plate
    Both the Draw-Tite # 65080 and Curt # 31198 front mount hitches can still be installed if your 2021 Toyota Sequoia has that front skid plate, but it does require removal and trimming during the installation. So it fits, it just doesn't fit right up into place. Attached is an installation video of the Curt front hitch installed on a 2019 Sequoia for you to check out.

  • Front-Mounted Hitch Receiver for 2017 Toyota Tundra 4X4
    We 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. If you plan to use a snowplow...

  • Will The Front Mount Hitch for a 2019 Toyota Tundra Work With TRD Package
    The front mount trailer hitch options for a 2019 Toyota Tundra, the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 31198 or Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 65080 will both work of TRD models. That said, you will either need to cut a 4" hole into the skid shield so you can access the oil filter or leave the skid shield off completely but that's up to you.

  • Is Skid Shield Trimming Required if Door is Present to Access Oil Filter on 2021 Toyota Tundra
    The 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.

  • Do Tow Hooks Remain When Installing Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch on 2020 Toyota Tundra
    Starting 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...

  • Does Skid Shield have to be Removed for a Front Hitch on a 2018 Toyota Tundra
    On 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,...

    I have included links to a video that, in part, shows how to fishwire hardware when installing a hitch and to our help article with installation tips. Basically, you will run the fishwire through the hole that you will be using with the spring-looking end going in first. Pull it out through another access hole. Slide the block spacer on first.

  • Comparison of Curt and Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receviers for 2008 Toyota Tundra
    We have two front mount hitches that are confirmed to fit your 2008 Toyota Tundra. The Curt 31198 and the Draw-Tite # 65080. They do have identical specs since they both have a 9,000 pound line pull and 500 pound vertical load. Both have a 2 inch recevier opening. Both bolt to your Tundra's frame and do not require any drilling. The largest difference is going to be the appearance once either is installed.

  • Will Front Mount Trailer Hitch # 65080 Fit a 2008 Toyota Tundra TRD with Off Road Package
    The 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.

  • Comparing Curt and Draw-tite Front Hitch for 2019 Toyota Tundra
    The biggest difference between the Curt front hitch part # 31198 and Draw-tite front hitch part # 65080 is that the Draw-tite receiver tube extends out more than the Curt by over an inch. This makes it more visible when nothing is mounted to it. However, it can also help with clearance. When putting an accessory in the hitch there is less of a chance of it coming in contact with the front of your Tundra. Other than that, they aren't much different from each other. They have the same...

  • Do I Lose The Tow Hooks When Installing Draw Tite Front Mount Hitch # 65080 on a 2012 Toyota Tundra
    Good 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.

  • Can Bike Rack be Used on Front Mount Hitch of 2019 Toyota Tundra
    You can use a bike rack in the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch # 65080 although this is a 2" hitch so you would not be able to use a bike rack with 1-1/4" shank; you would need a bike rack for a 2" hitch like the Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH83JV or Yakima HoldUp # Y02443. It is possible that using any bike rack will interfere with sensors that are located on the front grille of your '19 Tundra. We have not tested this specifically but it would make sense this would be the case.

    The Curt Front Mount Hitch # 31198 and the Draw-Tite # 65080 for your 2018 Toyota Tundra are indeed just about identical in terms of their capacities and where they will mount on the truck. One thing that does differentiate the two models, and the reason I recommend the Curt, is the fact that the Curt # 31198 is made right here in the USA while the Draw-Tite hitch is made overseas. The Curt hitches are also known for their unique powder coat application which ensures a rust free hitch...

    In 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.
