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.

Solid product at an affordable price. I was able to install on my own just following instructions and buying a few new tools. The hitch hides really well and isn't noticeable. Holds my old bike rack nicely. Have recommended to several friends.

2018 Chevrolet Cruze

Let’s start with kudos to Jason S in the Q&A section for this hitch - another customer asked if it would fit a 2018 Cruze Diesel Hatchback and he answered that it wasn’t a confirmed fit, but that it was extremely likely that it would fit. I can tell you after installing mine today that he was absolutely right and I can confirm that it does indeed fit the diesel Hatchback. The cutout for the rearmost exhaust hanger doesn’t line up perfectly but it’s not an issue at all (see pic). Instructions were perfect, only issue I experienced was a little difficulty with removing the bumper cover up on the top side where the hatch closes because the upturned shape of the cover there made it hard to get a panel tool in there to help release the retainers but a little jockeying and I got it off without incident. Another GREAT experience with etrailer!

I included a bunch of pictures including the fit with my Thule 990 doubletrack (which is why I bought the hitch) and which was another etrailer purchase a number of years ago ??. I used this same bike rack with the Curt hitch on my 2013 Dart (that hitch was yet another etrailer purchase of mine and BTW I never used the strap, and I never had any issues).

Comparing the two, the DrawTite doesn’t have the extra ring of material around the receiver opening like the Curt hitch does, but the fit of my Thule rack’s receiver bar is much more snug (precise) in the DrawTite than it was in the Curt (but in the end I don’t think it makes much difference because once you tighten the retaining bolt they are both rock solid).

If you have a new Cruze Diesel Hatchback and you’re looking for a hitch for your bike rack (or external cargo tray) this is a great choice, and etrailer is the place to buy it!

Volvo Cross Country

Brought a hitch and wiring kit for a DIY a year ago. Was very happy with the communication, price point, and shipping. Installation required removing bumper, lights, wiring, and trimming bumper material. I'm mechanical, but not a body shop guy, and yet the instructions were clear enough that I completed the mount without having to call or ask for help. I've since taken two cross country trips and haven't had any problems. I highly recommend etrailer for all your towing needs.

2017 Chevrolet Cruze

This hitch was rated a 10/10 in difficulty and I was skeptical in installing this one on my own. After calling around to local hitch shops with prices from $350-$500 installed I decided to take on the challenge myself. The detailed instructions were 100% pin point accurate. I had to remove my bumper of my 2017 Chevy Cruze Hatchback and cut a notch on the bottom of the bumper facia but the measurements in the instructions were perfect and the bumper fit the first time with no additional cutting or trimming. I highly recommend a vibrating multi-tool for doing the cutting - not a utility knife. The fit was absolutely perfect.

2017 Chevrolet Cruze

We attempted to install it ourselves on my chevy cruse but the instructions were minimal and confusing. Not enough pictures. I tried to scan to get more info and even tried the suggested web site but could never get to the detailed instructions. We finally had it installed by a car body shop. I am still waiting for my bicycle rack so I have not used this hitch yet but it looks great on my car.



by:

Works great. It was easy to install. I've used for a cargo carrier and bicycle rack. It also keeps people from bumping into when they parallel park. Thanks!



by:
2017 Chevrolet Cruze

The trailer hitch is well made, it was the lowest price I could find, and it was shipped quickly.

Have had it for a year. Works great with my bicycle rack. Seeing a little rust around the receiver area however.

Fit my daughters car just fine. Instructions are adequate to complete the installation. I would recommend

2018 Chevrolet Cruze

Very straightforward installation. Watched the how to video twice beforehand and everything went as planned



by:
2017 Chevrolet Cruze

I am very satisfied with the hitch itself, but I'm a bit disappointed with how long it took to install. The documentation said it could be done in around two hours. It took a mechanic friend a little over four hours to complete it.



by:

Easy to assemble,required some modification to the rear fascia but other than that, was very happy. Enjoyed the customer service. did take longer than the estimated time



by:

Delivery was fast and everything fit and went together well. The only issue I had was the paint was beat up in a few spots.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Chevy Cruze that Does not Require Stabilizer Strap Bike Rack
    Curt does recommend the stabilizer straps like part # 18050 with the use of a non-supported load like a bike rack on your 2017 Chevy Cruze with their hitch # C11458. They may not list it on the product page like we do (they probably should), but it's in the install instructions. The other option you have that you may like better is the Draw Tite part # 24951 which is also a fit for your Cruze but does not have the stabilizer strap requirement. If it were me I wouldn't want to mess with...

  • How to Carry 3 Bikes on a 2018 Chevy Cruze Hatchback
    The best way to carry 3 bikes on your 2018 Chevy Cruze Hatchback and keep access to your rear hatch without removing the bikes or bike rack is to either use a hitch mount bike rack for 2 bikes and a roof mount rack for the 3rd or to carry all three bikes on the roof. These 2 options will require more of an investment than a trunk mount bike rack, but they are your best and safest options. Unfortunately, there are no trunk mount bike racks that will fit the hatchback models at this time...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Chevy Cruze Hatchback Diesel
    Yes, the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24951 is confirmed to fit your 2019 Chevy Cruze Hatchback and it works on both diesel and gas models. This hitch actually uses the vehicle's existing hardware to attach to your Cruze, so no additional hardware is needed and no drilling is required for the installation. This hitch will work perfectly for light-duty towing or paired up with a bike rack, like the Thule Camber 2 # TH9058. I've included an installation on a 2017 Cruze...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Availability for a 2018 Chevrolet Cruze
    We do have a trailer hitch for your 2018 Chevrolet Cruze, the Draw-Tite # 24951. For the rack I recommend going with the Kuat Beta # B202-114 which is a lightweight (12.6 lbs) 2-bike carrier. The weight capacity for this bike rack is 40 lbs per bike but it is made of a durable aluminum that has a powder-coated finish which gives this rack superior rust resistance. This bike rack comes fully assembled right out of the box, features an anti-wobble hand knob to help reduce movement in the...

  • Draw-Tite Sportframe Ground Clearance On 2018 Chevy Cruze Diesel Hatchback

The distance from the ground to the inside edge of the receiver tube measures 9-1/4". Since you will be towing you will also want the Curt # C56354.

  • Correct Ball Mount Drawbar for Draw-Tite Class I Trailer Hitch on 2017 Chevy Cruze
    So when it comes to ball mounts (drawbars) for Class I trailer hitches, the manufacturers actually design them to be used with specific ball mounts. You mentioned a Draw-Tite hitch for your 2017 Chevy Cruze but I couldn't find the one you purchased from us to determine if you had a sedan or a hatchback, so you'll need to match up your hitch with the correct ball mount. And just to be thorough I'll also add the trailer wiring you need as that is different depending on if you have a sedan...

    The Draw-Tite # 24943 is not a fit for the hatchback models.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring for 2018 Chevy Cruze Hatchback Diesel
    The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # 24951 is not a confirmed fit for your 2018 Chevy Cruze hatchback diesel nor are any other parts as they have not yet been tested with this new model combination. However, based on the mounting location and other information I believe I can recommend a system that should fit. The rear frame won't be altered by the diesel engine in that bumper mount location, so it is extremely likely that it will fit. If...
