This fully welded, corrosion-resistant vehicle trailer hitch receiver is perfect for your light-duty towing needs. Draw-Tite's Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry standards. Drawbar sold separately.
Features:
Specs:
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.
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.

This fully welded, corrosion-resistant vehicle trailer hitch receiver is perfect for your light-duty towing needs. Draw-Tite's Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry standards. Drawbar sold separately.The product was of good quality, welds are good and parts alignment were straight. In my case I was able to install this on my 2009 Scion tC from the ground with no lifting of the car. The fishing of the parts into the frame rail can be a little tricky but was accomplished and I am happy with the hitch.
Went on fairly easy. The only down side was having to drill an existing hole into the chassis a little bit bigger. Other than that smooth sailing
Installation took me about half an hour. Hardest part is enlarging the hole in the passenger side frame so the mounting bolts will fit into the frame. When all is said and done, the hitch looks great on the car. It hides away so you only see the receiver tube.
I'm road tripping this summer and wanted to bring my bike. So I purchased this hitch for mu TC. Installation was a breeze and etrailer was prompt during shipping and very communicative. Lots of helpful info on the product page and I was able to get the hitch on in no time at all. Bike rack fit the hitch without a problem. I would definitely buy from etrailer again!
The hitch looks awesome. It's so perfect there's nothing bad to say about it. Just look at the pictures. It fits in the frame perfectly and barely noticeable plus my bike rack fits just fine. I have it professionally installed since I don't have the tools needed. Thanks a lot etrailer and Draw-Tite. You're the best.
EXCELLENT PRODUCT! Install was a breeze. Just make sure you drill the holes in passenger side the correct way. They worked for me from side to side, rather than front to back. Overall install time was about 30 minutes. Product is hidden other than receiver piece. and works great for my jetski!
Install was rather easy, would reccomend a helper, but I was ok on my own. I used a floor jack to hold it up while screwing it in. Also needed to open up the 3/8 in. holes for the carriage bolts slightly with a step drill.
everything was easy to install and the instructions on youtube made it even easier.
This worked really well and was better when installed with two people. I would recommend this hitch hands down.
i'm so happy i bought this. It was so easy to install with the bolts and holes all ligned up. When they say it is for your car, It is!
I had a mechanic install the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver-Custom Fit - Class 1 - 1 1/4 ". A utility trailer is a wonderful thing. For the past two years I have enjoyed being able to pull my trailer with my car for the various trips to Home Depot I take to buy lumber for whatever the DIY project of the moment happens to be or to bring piles of brush to the dump when fire, the poor man's super chipper, cannot be safely employed .. The trailer enables me to turn an elegant two-door sedan temporarily into an all-purpose pick-up whenever the need arises. The hitch frame fitted my vehicle perfectly. There were no complaints from the installer.
Easy to install...less than 45 min with wiring recommend to anyone who own a Scion tC
Easy enough to install and it's been holding up well for the bike rack I've got.
Fast shipping, beyond easy install. Took about 20min for me to put on. Easy to follow directions and all hardware included. Great buy. Definitely will be using e-trailer from now on.
Trailer Hitch arrived as expected for the 2010 Scion TC and fit perfectly.

Still holding up and working well
Great hitch. Glad I decided to go with this brand. Need two people at the end to hold hitch and secure the mounting nuts. Installation took about 35-40 minutes, hardest part was fishing the bolt and brackets through right side hole that had to be drilled to approx 1" diameter--be sure to have a good electric drill and several large metal drill bits up to 1" before starting install to make it easier. On the install itself, be patient and it will work with what comes with the hitch. Follow instructions provided exactly. Product arrived with no damage, on time and looks great on the car, barely even know it's there. Thanks!
Awesome product. Etrailer stayed in touch the whole time keeping me posted of my order. The hitch took minimal tools and time to install. I did it on my back in the drive way alone in just 45 minutes. The wire harness took 7 minutes and just plugged in. NO CUTTING! THANKS ETRAILER!
Got this for a Scion tC RS5. Was a little worried about clearance with the TRD exhaust but this was not an issue. My hitch did not come with the pull wires. Unfortunately I did not realize this until I had the car on jack stands and the holes drilled, so I had to make my own. Had to grind the corners down between the existing hole and the holes I drilled in order to get the bolt heads through. The paint chipped on the back end of the hitch brackets when I set it down, but that was easily fixed since I already had spray paint handy to coat the frame where I was drilling/grinding. Other than that the install was fairly simple.
Great product! Arrived with FREE upgraded shipping much quicker than expected. eTrailer maintains continuous communication and provides fantastic customer service. Don't be apprehensive about the "difficulty level" or instructions provided with this hitch, all brands require similar modification. Just be sure to read the instructions AND watch the video provided on the page. I knocked this project out in under 45 min with no complications :-) Hitch is very concealed and fits great on my lowered '09 tC!
Sturdy construction, well made but the installatio was difficult.
Most reviews said it only took 30-60 minutes but that's probably shorter than realistic.
Drilling the holes in the frame didn't seem to leave enough room for the hardware to get through, and there was no details in the instructions on how to use the wire - which you HAVE to be careful of or you will loose the hardware in the frame.
Also, you might need a tap for the driver side frame holes - they are tapped already but if you drive in the northern states they will be rusty and corroded. Once install it looks pretty good and seems very sturdy.
My experience with etrailer was very good, I got an email every step in the process and very quick service. A+
Great product delivered fastI received my trailer hitch and bike rack on time, and the install was finished in less than an
hour. Great products and service. Keep up the good work etrailer.com.
Thanks.......Walt
Awesome hitch, awesome priceVery well hidden - only the tongue/receiver is exposed behind car while the horizontal beam is under/behind the bumper cover. Perfect fit!
Installation went pretty well too, as long as you have the right tools. The most difficult part was enlarging the hole to pass through spacers. Using the 3/8" drill bit, I just drilled multiple holes around the edge of original hole to effectively enlarge it. The fish wire worked great. It took me about 1hr to install it.
