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.

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 reviews made it seem like a super quick & simple install but if this is your first hitch install it takes some work: you’ll need to drill into metal and spend money on special tools to get it done. it took my partner, who's very mechanically handy, and I a few hours to do. I can see why installation fees are high at shops and if I had to do it again it would be worth it to pay someone else lol. The hitch itself is great though!
not for the novice, it is a two person installation, the weigh of the hitch makes it too heavy to hold up and try to mark where the 1" hole has to be drilled in the frame, fishing for the brackets and bolts requires a bit of skill & patience, the 40 min est. of time to complete installation is inaccurate, a pro might get it done in 40 minutes in a shop with a lift. The hitch fits as intended
This is my second Draw Tite receiver hitch that I've purchased in the last year.
The first hitch was really easy to install. This one was not. Please note this is not the fault of the hitch but of the way the car is made. The holes are there but under a cover.
When the instructions said you have to lower the exhaust and drill into the frame, we knew this was way above our skill set. Not to mention that this 2020 Corolla sits really low to the ground leaving about 3" above our noses.
We took this to a professional to install.
I'm only giving two stars because of the level of difficulty to install the hitch.
I know I'll be pleased with the hitch because I use it to haul my bikes.
The hitch is solid and fits perfect. The etrailer.com website ensured me that I was purchasing the correct part for my vehicle.
The pdf instructions are very helpful. At first I was a little intimidated by the instructions. I saved $100 installing the hitch myself. The only challenge I had was lifting the hitch up to the car. I used a floor jack and had to balance the hitch to line up with the holes. Note I installed by myself, it would have been easier with a helper. Other than that the install was straight forward. This is the 2nd hitch I purchased from them. Awesome product and support from etrailer.
Hitch is great and the instal was basically easy to do. Could have been faster with two people and the instructions didn’t include cutting the new cover Toyota has on the car. Have to keep the hitch loose until you instal the cover under it and then go back and tighten the nuts. Besides that would have given a 5 star for sure.
The instructions are incomplete, but we managed to get the hitch installed. The plastic shroud under the spare tire also has to be cut, and you cannot install the shroud after the hitch is secured. You cannot install the hitch before the shroud, either. You have to secure the two bolts towards the front of the car halfway, let the hitch hang, then slide the shroud in and secure it before securing the other two bolts on the hitch.
It would be very helpful if we had a template (something printed on paper, or a link to a PDF on the website where we could print it ourselves) so that we could cut it out, stick it to the car with a magnet or something to mark where we have to drill.
My hitch arrived on time but was damaged when I received it. Not a great deal. The hitch is not bent, and all of the hardware is still attached. Unfortunately the bottom of the hitch, the part that hangs down and is visible after installation, is missing paint (aka rust resistant coating). I live in Minnesota and need all the rust resistant coating I can get.

Brrrr! Just thinking about Minnesota makes me think of snow and salted roads. I recommend using a rust resistant spray paint like Rustoleum on the hitch. Keeping it on hand to touch up the hitch every now and then is a good idea.

I Purchased this trailer hitch for my 2021 Toyota Corolla Hybrid and it fits perfect. I have had no problems/issues at all with this trailer hitch. I use it for my bike rack to haul my E-bike around.

Great no problems at all after a year. I used it every day in the springsummer, hardly any scratches on it.
Easy to instal.. didn't realized how heavy it was going to be so I had some help with two car jacks.
Note: make sure you use scissors specialized for metal sheets. You wont get far with regular scissors. ??
Fit perfect . Love the video's
Very pleased with the unit, not first one i ordered from etrailer.... Was odd under my 2020 Corolla, when i removed that plastic cover (that makes little sense that Toyota would do this) i expected the body to be drastically misformed for them to add that for aerodynamics, but they couldve just formed the trunk to allow bit more storage, and not wasted the time on this plastic piece, but got that piece cut easily, & reinstalled around the hitch mounts..... its super to have this for my bike mount & little trailer i have.. a 4 x 6 which tracks perfectly behind my car....
Purchased for New 2020 Toyota Corolla LE - Installed by Victor's Auto body Middletown, CT. Fits nice, solid hitch !

1 Year review - No Issues !
E-trailers prices, communication, and products are the best in the industry. I’m on my third hitch from them and will always buy from here.
I received the hitch in a timely manner, but the box although heavy duty corrugated cardboard was torn and one of the mounting flanges was jutting out of the box. All hardware and instructions were complete and intact. Paint was chipped but not a show stopper.
Very satisfied with the product.
Fantastic service! The hitch arrived much faster than I expected. Thanks!
No issues. I purchased it, partially because it didn't have a huge logo on it, like the ones you get at other places. Other than that, it functions perfectly. I wish I had been able to use it more, but during the pandemic, I didn't do much traveling. I've actually owned this almost 2 years now.
We had to wait for the hitch to be manufactured but were kept informed which was greatly appreciated. Will definitely buy frim them again.
