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.

This was a perfect fit for the 2002 Santa Fe. A word of advice. (2 people putting this on is advised) after I set it in place alone. I viewed the how to video on the website. I also ordered the wiring for the trailer hitch and viewed the how to video also. I did exactly the same on the trailer hitch but changed where I ran my wiring a little. I bought a 5ft trailer wire extension. Drilled a small hole towards the outside edge of where the spare tire sits.I cut a small slit in rubber plug underneath all the coverings in back area. Then ran my wire to actual hitch.

Item arrived in a timely manner, well packaged and complete. I watched the installation video from the etrailer site before beginning. Did the installation with the vehicle on the ground in my shop, by myself (67 yrs), whole process including dropping the spare tire (full size spare) and doing my own wiring harness took me about 1 1/2 hrs. Every hole lined up perfectly. Excellent product and a recommending to others looking for DIY trailer hitches.

The hitch continues to work very well. Was impressed enough to recommend to my brother, ordered and installed one on his Subaru.

2005 Hyundai Santa Fe

Good product, super-fast shipping, and exceptional customer service, which is very rare these days. This hitch looks better than the OEM since the Draw-Tite exposes only the receiver (most of the OEM hitch was exposed below the bumper).

2004 Hyundai Santa Fe

Very happy with the etrailer Hitch Receiver. The item was promptly shipped once it was ordered, and even arrived a little early. It was well boxed and arrived in perfect condition. This custom made hitch is well made and fit perfectly on my car making installation easy.

2002 Hyundai Santa Fe

Finaly got it in. Had to give etrailer.com a call because it apeared to be about 3/4" to short for the bolt holes to line up. They said it had to be flexed. OK this is a big piece of steal. all I did was but a c-clamp on the frame and used it for a point to pry fron with a pry bar. It worked great. etrailer.com's help was great. The videos where a life saver. anyway 5 big stars.

Thank you so much for all of your assistance. Your company excels in communication with the customer, which is vital to customer satisfaction, and is very much appreciated. Please find attached 4 photos of the hitch attached to our 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe. We look forward to doing business with you in the future.

Installed by myself with ease . Both hitch and wiring harness fit perfectly. Recommend these products. This is my second installation of these items for two different vehicles and all installed and functioned correctly.

It’s a good hitch but it didn’t fit perfectly an it hits the exhaust pipe so every time I turn on the car it rattles sometimes because the pipe hits the hitch

I can't wait to get this installed.

The trailer hitch arrived right on time and I was able to install it without help. It is a sweet fit for my 06 Santa Fe.

I ordered a trailer hitch and wiring for my Hyundai Santa Fe. Everything was delivered within 2 days of order, with free shipping. I installed everything without any problems. Great products and customer service.



by:
2006 Hyundai Santa Fe

I give this a 4 start for one reason and one reason only. It arrived very quickly after ordering packaged well, great customer service and quality. Now the reason I give 4 stars is because i had to slightly modify my bumper to allow the receiver to fit tight to the rear. I had to cut a few places out where the tubing was bumping preventing the holes from lining up. I believe the mounts should be a hair higher than they are now to create adequate head space for the receiver, that is my only gripe. Besides that it fit very well and will do just as it's supposed to, hope this helps anyone!



by:
2005 Hyundai Santa Fe

Good price and fairly easy to install. The vehicle it went on (2004 Santa Fe) unfortunately got totaled last fall :-(
but we were easily able to remove the hitch and put it on a 2005 replacement Santa Fe. Works great and is an economical option.

Still have yet to mount unit - just arrived with exceptional delivery time. However, this is a 2nd unit order (other one was for my Ford Explorer) as the 1st one proved to be of great value and performance.

Products are working great!! I actually purchased at separate times 2 of your hitches, one for my 2012 Ford Explorer and another for my wifes 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe.



by:
2001 Hyundai Santa Fe

High quality well built receiver, At first glance it appeared that there is no way this receiver will fit on a Hyundai Sante Fe that being said, After a couple of hours I was amazed at how well designed and engineered this receiver is, to fit up inside the bumper, around the spare tire and above tail pipe. I installed it yesterday so I have not used it yet, but it looks great.



by:
2001 Hyundai Santa Fe

Although my trailer hitch was delivered promptly and all parts and instructions were included, it doesn’t align with the holes on one side. I got four bolts in on the drivers side but only one bolt on the passenger side with the remaining two bolt holes misaligned as though the trailer hitch was bent towards the middle. I will take it to my auto repair shop and ask them to help me with the remaining bolts.



by:

The hitch was shipped immediately and arrived very quickly.
This is a very well made product and looks good on my vehicle.
The instructions were helpful but the video was great!

Hey all, just put this on my 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe. Hitch arrived in no time at all. I watched the video on how to install this hitch. The video was spot on. Took me about 45 minutes to install but I was in no rush. Bolted up perfectly. I would recommend this product to anyone needing a hitch. I will be ordering one for my ford in the near future.



by:

I got it in 48 hours that's amazing fornot paying any extra on shipping. Product was all packed and taped down since I bought the wiring and the draw bar too. I haven't I stalled it just yet but I look forward to the fully bolt on easy instillation. Thank you very much etrailer.com



by:
2006 Hyundai Santa Fe

The instructions that came with the hitch were very clear and easy to understand. I was able to install the hitch myself and the quality is excellent.

Thing looks like I've already had it on my vehicle for a year. Scuffed to hell. Protective coating chipped off exposing bare metal.. Not impressed

Im sorry to see that your hitch has received some scratches on it due to shipping. This does tend to happen and when it does, we recommend using a Rust-oleum type paint to cover up any scratches and prevent corrosion in the future during use. I have a link below for your reference. I have also sent this information over to our Customer Service Department for them to get into contact with you.

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    I'd be happy to help you with that. Along with the Draw-Tite # 41543 hitch you'd looked at, you'll need the # 118473 trailer wiring harness. The harness is a plug and play installation, and would plug inline at the connection point where the vehicle's taillight wiring harnesses plug into the taillight assemblies as shown in the video I've linked for you. You'll also need a ball mount like # C45010 with a pin and clip # PC3, as well as # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball.

  • Recommendation for Trailer Hitch to Fit 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe with Full Sized Spare Under Bumper
    We do indeed have a hitch available for your 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe. I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch # 41543. This hitch offers a 3,500 pound towing capacity with a tongue weight capacity of 315 pounds. I am including a video of our team installing this hitch on a 2003 Santa Fe with the full size spare under the back bumper. Our installers recommend using a little spray lubricant and a 1/2 nylon tube brush like # 814092 to clean up the threads on the vehicle where the...

  • Trailer Hitch Selection and Weight Distribution Recommendation for a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS
    The Draw-Tite, # 41543 is a great fit for your 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe. I've attached an installation video for you. Although the hitch is rated above and beyond the stated towing capacity of your vehicle, you will still be limited to the capacity of the lowest rated component, which would be the vehicle in this case. The hitch is not designed for or capable of being used with a weight distribution system, due to the relatively low towing capacity of the Santa Fe. You might also need the...

  • Custom Plug-In Trailer Wiring Harness to Fit 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    For your 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Recevier # C13505 is a confirmed fit. It does not include the wiring harness. The correct 4-way wiring harness for your Hyundai is # C55310. This harness does plug into the vehicle's wiring without any splicing. The connectors are behind the trim panels on both sides of the rear cargo area. You should know that using the Curt Class III Hitch # C13505 requires the use of a support strap # 18050 when using the hitch for...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Trailer Wiring Harness For 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe
    The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2004 Santa Fe is the Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader, part # 41543. This is a Class lll trailer hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening. The trailer hitches we offer for your Santa Fe do not come with the trailer wiring harness included but we also have what you need for wiring. For trailer wiring I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118473. This simply plugs into the wiring connections located in the trunk behind the tail lights and you...

  • Recommended Bike Carrier For 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
    We offer several different style bike carriers designed to work with your 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe. If lifting the bikes is a major concern, I recommend having a hitch installed and using a platform-style bike carrier. Platform-style carriers sit a little lower to the ground which means loading and unloading is easier. If you have no hitch on your Santa Fe, I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 41543. This is a Class lll hitch and has a 2 inch receiver opening. The Thule Passage...

  • How to Carry a Mobility Scooter on a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe
    I do not recommend using a 1-1/4" to 2" trailer hitch adapter as this is going to cut your tongue weight capacity in half. The tongue weight capacity on your class I hitch is already going to be pretty low so this is just going to make matters worse. However, if you choose to do so anyway then I recommend using part # HTAD or part # HT5R as they are the only 1-1/4" to 2" trailer hitch adapters we offer that are rated for use on a class I trailer hitch. The best option we have for you...
