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.

Video Transcript for Trailer Hitch Installation - 2016 Acura MDX - Draw-Tite
Today on our 2016 Acura MDX we're going to take a look at and show you how to install the draw tight max frame custom fit trailer hitch receiver. This is a class 3 hitch offering the 2 inch x 2 inch opening. It's part number is 75225. Here's what our hitch is going to look like installed on the MDX. As you can see, it's going to have a really nice clean look. inaudible 00:00:22 we've got are our safety chain connection points where they hang down, a receiver tube opening and the bracket right here hid off to the side there for mounting wiring to, if you wanted to.
It's pre-drilled with 3 holes. You're going to have a reinforcement inaudible 00:00:37 around the end of the hitch. It's got a rounded edge to it, so it gives it a nice soft look, 2 inch x 2 inch receiver tube opening. The end of that opening is going to be just behind the bumper, just under the bumper. That's going to allow us for good negotiating around here.
We shouldn't have to worry about running into it or anything like that. Safety chain connection points themselves are nice and open, should be an easy thing to get connected to. Then you can see our pinhole set up here. The larger hole, that's going to be the one that we connect all of our items with. This is going to be a 5/8 diameter hole. As you can see, more than enough room on each side whether you're using a pin and a clip, a locking hitch pin, anti-rattle device, whatever you decide there.
Now the second pinhole here, that's for an anti-rattle device. It's called the J-pin stabilization system. If you'd like you can use that in conjunction with several items and keep them nice and secure. Now for tongue weight, we're going to have a 900 pound tongue weight rating. It's going to be the maximum downward force we can put here at the receiver tube opening.
We're also going to have a 6,000 pound gross trailer weight rating. That's going to be the total weight of our trailer and anything that we load up on it. If we go into a weight distribution set up, tongue weight is going to stay at 900 while the gross trailer weight rating will then go up to 8,000. Of course, we do need to look at the manual on the MDX, see what it's rated for, and we'll go off of whichever those numbers are the lowest. Now a couple of measurements that are going to be helpful in selecting your ball mount bike rack or hitch cargo carrier will be from the ground to the inside top edge of our receiver tube opening. We've got about 14 1/2 inches. Then from the center of our hitch pinhole to the outer most edge of our bumper, it's about 2 1/2. To begin our installation we'll want to lower our spare tire, if it's equipped with one. We don't need to remove it completely. We just need to get it down out of the way enough to give us some room to work. Now we can take a look at our attachment points. These are going to be the exact same on each side. We're going to have 3 weld nuts that are in the frame here already. We've got one. We've got 2. Then tucked up underneath the bumper all the way there at the back it's going to be our third. Now what we'll do is use a little bit of spray lubricant in those weld nuts. Then we're also going to use a nylon tube brush just to clean them out. This is 814092, if you don't have one at the house there. We want to make sure our threads are clear, so our bolts thread in nicely for us. We're going to go do the exact same thing over on the passenger side. Here's our provided hardware. We're going to have 6 bolts, 6 conical tooth washers. The key is we want to make sure that those washers face up towards the hitch. Our bolts will go through our hitch, and then we just thread it into those weld nuts that you can see there. We'll do that in all 6 locations, hardware is the same for each one. Now we're ready to get our hitch raised into position. The main tube we tuck up behind the inaudible 00:03:38. Our weld nuts will line up here. Get one bolt started on this side really well. We'll go over to the driver's side and do the same thing. Now we'll let our hitch rest there while we get the other 4 fasteners in. We'll take a quick look just to be sure we've got our hitch centered with our vehicle. Then we'll snug down our fasteners. Now we're ready to look in the instructions and find our torque specifications. Then we're going to go around and torque down all 6 bolts. Now we're ready to get our spare put back into place here. As we do it, you may need to lift up on the backside of the tire. That way it will nestle up behind the hitch there. With our spare back in place that's going to complete our installation of the draw tight max frame custom trailer hitch receiver, part number 75225 on our 2016 Acura MDX.

Overall, the hitch is excellent. Only drawbacks are documented in the photos. Installation was not too complicated for a do it yourself install. Instructions/pictures were clear and understandable. We are very happy with the result and performance of the hitch and trailer wiring harness ordered from E-trailer.
*Recommendations:
1. Paint the heads of the Grade 8 mounting bolts as they will rust over time.
2. Check the amount of ground clearance before ordering the type of receiver as different manufactures have alternate hook points = better ground clearance (dips, speed humps, curbs etc.)
3. Before torquing the mounting bolts, reattach the spare tire in its full up position. some wiggling or slight adjustment of hitch may be needed to fit spare tire into well with binding. The fit on our 2021 Honda pilot was Tight.
4. You may need to purchase an aftermarket "hands-Free tailgate sensor" if your SUV has one of these located under the rear bumper. The new hitch crosses the original factor sensor and doesn't register foot movement when trying use the "hands-free feature" attached is a screenshot of the cost and part number from the Honda dealership for the shortened "hands-Free" sensor.
Overall great product and service. We would buy again.

We have only used the hitch to carry luggage in long trips and help a friend doing a move. During the instalation the hitch broke off a plastic tab on the bumper on a 2021 Pilot. It is not visible from the outside, but made me sad. Overall it does the job. I bought one for my CRV, but haven't installed it yet. Fingers crossed.

I installed it just 2 months ago. Life & family got me busy, but finally got the car in for maintenance and got it working. Is a game changer. Too bad I waited to long.
by: Donald12/06/2021
Showed up with paint chipped off at many points due to poor packaging which caused the hitch to tear through the box. Also, ordered the Draw Tight which is suppose to have the second hole for the J-pin, which I ordered. No second hole so the J-pin is useless. Sturdy hitch and easy to mount. However now I have to do touch up paint to prevent rust and buy a new standard pin. Great hitch and worth the money but need to provide what they advertise and do a better job in shipping!

I apologize for the damage to your item. Customer Service will reach out to you about it. You have the right idea about covering the metal with anti-corrosive paint. Here are more tips in this help article. Also, Draw-tite is discontinuing all of the J-pin style hitch receivers. etrailer is in the process of update all of our Draw-tite photos, videos, and content.

Installed this hitch on my 2020 Honda Pilot Elite and I like the design where the safety chain holders face down rather than out. This allowed me to not have to relocate the sensor for the foot actuated lift gate. I did most the installation by myself using jack stands to hold the hitch up while I inserted the bolts. The hardest part was torquing the bolts. I needed help holding the torque wrench on the bolt while pulling using a pipe extension on the wrench to get extra leverage. I also installed the wiring harness for towing. The video was a great help guiding me step by step in the removal of the trim to access the plug for the harness. Thanks etrailer for providing such great service!

This hitch is working well - the finish looks just like new after one year.
by: Steve06/16/2020
Everything was as expected! I have never wired, and or installed a new hitch. I followed the directions via the videos that etrailer.com provided - it all worked like a dream. I was careful, and took my time - I had to re-clean the receiver threaded area on the frame of the car multiple times before the bolts would work, but the video provided great information on how to do that also. It took about an hour for the entire install! Thanks etrailer.com for the hitch and the great videos!

Classic under promise and over deliver. The videos were extremely helpful and everything went together just as described on my 2020 Honda Pilot. I ordered the Drawtite receiver and the T-One 7 pin harness. Only thing that was a bit frustrating was the location of the onboard pre wired connector on the Pilot. It would have been helpful for a caution about needing to fish up into the body to find that connector, it isn’t readily available to find.

the hitch and wiring connector have performed flawlessly. We have towed a 4000lb camping trailer a few hundred miles and everything as worked as expected.

I like it , as advertised it was simple to install. It took me 35 minutes to complete the task simply followed the instructions and the video. I need to carry a cargo carrier every now and then this is a near perfect very well made product.
My only complaint is the harness bracket it pokes out against the lines of the car. It would be nice if the bracket hid behind the bumper.

I am very happy with the results on my trailer hitch. Everything is working as it should, but I would have preferred a hitch that was more like Hondas and integrated into the bumper for a cleaner look. But no regrets.

Not used yet but ordering was awesome and install was a breeze. Called and spoke w Debora H Monday evening. Told her I needed it by Wednesday, she promised that it would be hear by then. Promise kept!! Hitch arrived around midday - already installed. See pics.
Will defenetleyy be ordering another one from Debora H soon for my other SUV.

It was fairly easy to install.The only thing was for 2022 pilot, one of the clip i had to break it for the bumper so hitch can fit.Other than that everything works great
by: Michael01/25/2018
Hitch was well packaged. The box arrived with some tears but no damage, nicks or scrapes to the hitch.
My car is not garaged so there was a good amount of rust buildup in the factory drilled bolt holes. The Magic to get all that gunk out was WD-40 rust release penetrate spray and a 1/2” wire fitting brush hardware stores have them in the plumbing section
Once rust was cleaned out installation took about 25 minutes. I installed the hitch solo. Getting the specified torque on the bolts was a workout !
I used 2 Eddie Bauer hanging dome lights to I’ve me great visibility workkng. They are my go to lights. About 10 bucks a piece on-line.

I'm glad I found this site!
Just purchased a 2016 Honda Pilot Elite and the dealer wanted $1465.00 to install a trailer hitch. He blamed the high price on the "4" hours of installation and new wiring.
For less than xxx and an easy to follow installation video, I installed it myself in less than 30 minutes. Didn't need to drop the spare either...fit right into place!
Great sales recommendations and follow up from the etrailer staff. This company knows how to run a business and keep a customer satisfied. 5 stars out of 5 stars.
by: Noel C04/11/2014
Attached is a photo of the hitch installed. It took 25 minutes by myself. The videos are a great help. I did not think I would be using it this weekend. Still can not believe the quick delivery.

Did you have to remove the spare tire to do the installation?
by: CML03/16/2024
Fit nicely. I had to chase the threads on two of the bolt holes to clear out some of the rust. Torquing the six bolts to 148 ft-lbs was a bit of challenge though for a DIY.

I received my Draw-Tite hitch within a week from ordering. I knew to expect the box to be damaged when delivered because of it’s size and weight. The contents inside the box was smartly packed. A couple of scuffs along the edge of the hitch during shipping is expected.
After reviewing the installation videos online I felt confident to install my hitch. Note I installed the hitch without help. Just plan it out and set up supports to lift your hitch for an easier installation. I lowered my spare tire to make installation easier and used the spare as part of my support to lift the hitch during installation. I alternated my bolt installation and making sure none of the bolts were more than half way secured. Once all the bolts were one I proceeded to secure them to 80% so that I can adjust and make sure the hitch appeared centered. Once centered I secured the bolts to the recommended torque setting. The hitch feels solid and installation was a breeze. The most difficult part of the installation was lifting and supporting the hitch for mounting.
In all it took all of an hour to install the hitch. That includes time to clear the storage to access the spare and to set up my support to lift the hitch for installation. Sorry but I did not take any pictures of how the hitch was supported during installation because my hands were extremely dirty.
Now I just need to find a hitch mounted bike carrier. Etrailer will be my first stop for a hitch mounted bike carrier. Looking to carry an ebike, mountain bike and a kids bike.

This is my second hitch from etrailer. The first one was for my 2010 Acura MDX and now this one is for my 2018 Acura MDX. My use for this hitch is to attach my bike rack. I am pleased with the quality of the hitch and the amount of money I saved by not getting one from the dealer. I would admit, I like the dealer integrated looks but not for the amount of money they want for it. On both occasions, I had Uhaul installed it for me. Today's installation charge was $35 NYC area. If I had tools and a way to raise my car up a little bit, I could have done this myself. It's very quick and simple installation process watch the video. Here are a few pics of the finish product

What a great experience. looking for a hitch for my 2019 Pilot Elite to add my bike rack.
the website is full of information from fit and finish to installation instructions. Having photos of my specific SUV was a plus. i liked the fact that the drawtite had vertical attachment points instead of horizontal at the bottom and came with a bracket for the wiring harness for later. all of which were discussed in the reviews.
Had no issues as it came shipped, was in a box and completely secured with holes for handles to easily transport the hitch. All parts were included, nothing missing.
I would only have to comment on the adhesive stickers were placed crooked on the hitch, a slight gap on the weld where the mount for the wiring harness would be and too much contact where the bumper meets the top of the receiver causing the bow of bottom of my bumper. Drawtite should make some minor adjustments during manufacturing.
Otherwise very pleased with etrailer, hope to make more purchases soon.

I consider myself relatively handy but have never installed a hitch before. etrailer.com couldn't have made the process any easier. Locating the part, being able to compare it to other hitches right on the website, and videos to guide installation were perfect. I'm thrilled with the hitch I chose and would recommend etrailer to anyone in the market to add a hitch to their vehicle. If anyone is concerned that the part might not be right or they might not be able to do it themselves, rest assured, you definitely can. Other parts, like the wiring harness, were just as easy to locate on the website and install.

Easy bolt on! Let spare down a little to give wiggle room to line up bolts - nuts are pre placed by Honda. The hardest part was torquing the bolts to specs listed. I bought this hitch specifically for the wiring mount pad - great for 7 wire w/brakes. Put it all in, included the brake control in about an hour and a half. Pulls a 3500# trailer like a champ!

My son referred me to etrailer.com. He's used the site for his last two trailers and raves about it, now I know why.
The installation was as easy as described and the video was perfect for my 2016 Pilot. The Hitch installed in ~30 mins.
I purchased the hitch, wiring harness for 7 pin adapter, 7/4 pin plug and mount, brake controller, and plug for the harness.
In order to raise the tow capacity to 5000lbs from 3500lbs, I had the transmission cooler installed at the dealer. They insisted that only Honda can install without cutting/splicing wires and that my electrical system would be damaged. The harness literally plugged into the existing plug for which it is designed. Clean install without a single wire cut/spliced. The only problem I had was with the little silver tie down as it was put in by a gorilla and wasn't coming out. Fortunately, I was able to get the plug from behind the panel without removing that piece.
When I installed the brake controller, I learned from the comments that the plug is buried so I knew to look harder than expected.
The dealer wanted over $500 to install just the hitch, no wiring. I've installed the hitch, wiring, brake controller and wiring for $427.

I spent a long time on etrailer.com looking at trailer hitches for my 2019 Honda Pilot and this was the one recommended by an etrailer installer, even though it wasn't really the one I thought would be best. But, I've had great success with etrailer in the past and decided to trust them.
This is a very high quality hitch, very well constructed and a clean look to it. It is an absolute perfect fit to my Honda Pilot! Other than the receiver, it is well hidden behind the rear bumper. Check out my pictures - it looks very good and complimentary to the vehicle.
I never would have tried to install this myself, but the installation video convinced me to give it a try. I actually installed it alone, using some cement blocks to hold up one end while I held up the other end. It was a pain, but it worked. I've never done this before, but from start to finish it only took me 30 minutes to install this and that includes watching the video one more time.
UPS beat the daylights out of the shipping box, but the hitch was in perfect condition as it was packed well. I have ordered a locking hitch pin and a T-One wiring harness and they were well packed in a box in with the hitch. Shipping was fast!
Another perfect experience wtih etrailer.com!

Very well made! Delivery was fast. I received it within three days of ordering. The box was a bit damaged and a small area of the hitch itself was chipped as you can see from my photo. I planned on installing it myself, but wasn’t able to turn the bolts with my hand socket. At first I thought I was given the wrong size bolts, but double checked the size at my local hardware store. I then cleaned the threads underneath the truck with a wire brush and was able to get the bolts started, but still unable to tighten by hand. Since I didn’t have an impact driver I took it to my local mechanic, John, who graciously installed it for me in no time. But, John had to permanently remove the center trim piece of my bumper for it to fit, which I wasn’t aware of when I purchased. I don’t remember any of the videos I watched from the website mention that. Now that the trim piece is missing the look isn’t as clean as I expected. So far I’m satisfied with the product, but disappointed in the aesthetics. I’ve attached some pics for your convenience.

Saved $200 by doing this myself. I was a little concerned about the negative feedback about the shipping boxes being destroy upon delivery. But as you can see, it came intact and was delivered promptly to my front door. This installation was very easy. I watched the video for both the trailer hitch and wiring harness and it was exactly like the video indicated. I will tell you on the wiring harness you do not have to pull the panel back. Just get a mirror and locate the connector behind the panel and you can pull it down to the opening.

- Will Trailer Hitch Fit With 20 Inch Spare on 2019 Honda PilotAll of the trailer hitches that are available for your 2019 Honda Pilot will fit with up to an 18" spare but anything larger will need to be moved to a different location like in the rear hatch area or onto the roof if you wanted to get a roof rack and carrier. If you'd still like to install a hitch on your Pilot I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 75225 because it looks sleek and has a tab welded on so you can use the Mounting Bracket # 18144 to secure a 4-Way wiring connection like...

It has a simple install that just requires the lowering of the spare tire and it features a bracket to mount electrical connectors to. For your wiring harness I suggest the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118760. Also I would suggest the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches - 2" Ball - 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 7.5K Item # C45534.

I understand not wanting a hitch that sits super low but hitch manufacturers can only work with how the vehicle is designed. And most people don't like to trim the lower fascia of the vehicle to install the hitch so they designed it to fit right below the rear bumper like the picture I attached.

- Carrying 6-8 Bikes for a Family of 6 with a 2016 Acura MDXTo carry up to 8 bikes on your 2016 Acura MDX I recommend a combination trailer hitch mounted bike rack and roof mounted bike racks. Starting with a trailer hitch, I recommend the etrailer hitch # e98840, it is an excellent choice. This hitch has a 2 inch receiver so it will be compatible with many bike racks. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation for you. Then for a bike rack I recommend a model that can hold 5 bikes such as the Swagman XP, # S64970. This rack...
