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.

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.

@Sean That's high praise, then! Thank you. We're glad your Draw-Tite # DT38MR hitch is working well for you!

2014DodgeDurango

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.

Great fitment. Awesome product easy ins tallation

2018 DodgeDurango

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!

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.

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



by:

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 DodgeDurango

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 DodgeDurango

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.



by:
DodgeDurango

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.

Worked out perfect even though my bumper didn't have the cutout for a hitch I made one



by:

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:

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:

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:
2020 DodgeDurango

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.

  • Does Draw Tite Hitch work with ATV Curt Ball Mount for 2014 Dodge Durango
    The Draw Tite hitch part # DT38MR is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Dodge Durango and would work great with just the ball mount portion of the # C45029 but since you'd already have a hitch you wouldn't need this full kit and could instead use just the part # C45005 instead.

  • Best Trailer Hitch for a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Yes, we do have a hitch for your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver item # DT38MR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Cherokee with included hardware. If you need a wiring harness to control your trailer or accessories lighting functions you will want the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # 118727. To round out your towing setup I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534....

  • Recommended Hidden Trailer Hitch and Vehicle Wiring Harness For 2021 Dodge Durango
    Absolutely! For your 2021 Dodge Durango we have the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # DT38MR which installs in a manner making it able to be completely invisible by reinstalling the small cover on the center of your bumper. This hitch has a massive 900lb tongue weight rating and 7500lb trailer weight rating making it perfect for towing a good size trailer, or for carrying a bike rack or cargo carrier if you need to in the future. You will still need to confirm the towing capacity of your vehicle...

  • 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...

  • Which Hitch and 7 Way Wiring Harness for a 2021 Dodge Durango GT
    I have a solution for you, but there is not a package with all of these parts offered so you'll need to get the individual parts. I'm also skeptical that there is room to fit a 7 way trailer plug in the opening left by removing the knockout panel; the 4 way fits without issue, but you'll likely need to find a mounting location below the bumper for the 7 way connector because of its' size. With that said, you can use the Draw-Tite # DT38MR and it will fit right behind the knockout panel,...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch & Wiring for 2018 Dodge Durango
    Yes, we do have hitches for your 2018 Dodge Durango. Of the three rear hitch options I recommend the USA-made Curt # C13182 because it offers easy no-drill installation using included hardware as shown in the included video. The hitch model # DT38MR from Draw-Tite that you referenced offers a less visible installation but will take a lot longer to install. If you want the least-visible hitch and you don't mind a more challenging installation then the Draw-Tite # 76196 is a great choice...

  • How to Balance a Load When Towing With a 2020 Dodge Durango
    If you are referring to rubber spacers/washers that would install between the frame and the Draw-Tite 76196, allowing it to flex and level out when there is more weight on one side, then we do not. We also highly discourage installing the hitch in this manner. These have specific torque ratings for the install to keep everything secure to the vehicle. If these are not followed, there could be a catastrophic failure while towing a trailer or carrying an accessory, which would be very bad....

  • Will The Draw-Tite Hitch 76196 Allow 20 Spare Tire to Stow Under Dodge Durango
    The Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch part # DT38MR does require the removal of a 20" spare tire. The hitch is designed to fit with a stowed 18" tire but not 20" so it will not be able to remain stowed under the vehicle. There are currently not any options that allow you to stow a 20" tire.

  • Towing Capacity for 2018 Dodge Durango Hitch and Wiring Recommendation
    The towing capacity of your 2018 Dodge Durango will be between 6,200 and 8,700 lb depending on how it's equipped. You'd have to check the owners manual or with a Dodge dealer for the specific capacity depending on how it's equipped. For a hitch we have the Draw Tite part # DT38MR which fits through the factory hitch cut out in the lower fascia. This hitch has a 7,500 lb capacity and is my recommendation because of it's concealed look and it has the same capacities as the other hitches...

    Yes, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT38MR will give you a receiver that mounts behind the removable tab on your bumper for your 2020 Dodge Durango. Do be sure to check your spare tire size as this receiver will only allow you to keep your spare tire underneath your Durango if it is on a 18" or smaller spare tire. For the wiring you will first need a T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118617 for connecting to your tail lights. This will then connect to the Universal Installation...

This is the only hitch available for your 2018 Dodge Durango that will actually sit behind the rear bumper fascia panel so you won't even know it's there when you aren't towing. This also allows for excellent ground clearance. I have attached a couple images of this hitch installed on the 2018 Durango to show this. It has a 6,000 pound towing weight capacity....

That hitch is the Draw-Tite # DT38MR which like the others has a 2-inch hitch receiver opening. I linked two photos for you. The first shows the Draw-Tite # DT38MR which installs behind the rear bumper fascia rather than under it, as with the Curt model # C13182 that is shown in the other photo.

It installs behind the fascia and will be completely hidden when the fascia panel is attached. You will remove the panel when using the hitch.

Now if the trailer you plan to tow has brakes you'd need to go with a different 7-way adapter # ETBC7 which comes with everything needed to install a brake controller like the easy to use and very reliable Brake EVN # TK63VR.

  • 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.
