Fully welded vehicle trailer hitch is strong and durable. Draw-Tite's Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry standards. The combination of an e-coat base and a powder coat finish provides excellent rust protection.
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.

Purchased for a 2006 Jeep liberty. Have used it several times and has never been an issue! a note, if you have the same vehicle, a longer hitch is a good idea, as the position of the receiver here is directly below the spare tire, making connection harder than it should be. That doesn't affect the performance of this hitch receiver, which itself has been excellent.
i didn't pay for the fast shipping and had it in 2 day. The front arms on hitch were flexed in a little but was very easy to flex back into place with a pry bar and slid the bolts in, perfect, thanks much.
Great products and service. I was able to order everything I needed to add a tow hitch and ball to my 2006 Jeep liberty. Very fast shipping. They even called me to verify orders and availability. Clear and easy to follow installation instructions. I hauled an U-Haul trailer from Texas to Ohio without any issues. Even bought a trailer and use it frequently for hardware stoe runs.
Does what it is supposed to do
Was perfect fit easy to install. It worked great for towing.
It is a high quality receiver at a reasonable price. Shipping was fast however mine was shipped in a damaged condition. It was bent and was not damaged in shipment. I had a body press and was able to straighten it out, however most would have to use a heavy hammer.
They extended themselves in my behalf in contacting the manufacturer for bolt hole distance which helped me considerably in repairing the unit. I really did not want to return it.
Would be a good idea to include bolt center distance in instructions if this is a frequent problem. I am not dissatisfied, but would encourage the company to inspect them prior to shipment.

Works Great, use it frequently
Trailer hitch was bent and did not fit my jeep. its the right hitch but the left hand side of the hitch is bent outwards and misses the attachment holes by 1/2 inch.

Hi Steve, Thanks for your feedback! This is the correct hitch for your jeep. The ears on the trailer hitch receiver can flex during shipping, but can be flexed back into position. I have attached a helpful article that will help show you how to flex the hitch back into position.

hitch went up and on easily. had to remove passenger rear tire to tighten and torque fwd . bolt . hope the pix might be of some use.
thanks
Great post order customer contact from etrailer. One vendor related issue though, the box that the hitch was shipped in was a little flimsy. The staples had pulled out (someone downstream had thrown a few pieces of tape on it), and the hitch had broken through the cardboard in a few places scratching the paint.
Install was a pain. I had to use a tap to clean the corrosion out of the holes in my '05 Liberty, as there was no way a bolt would thread in. Frankly it was almost like there were no threads at all. Very difficult to work a tap at these locations, as you don't have the throw to use a standard tap wrench. I had to use the bare tap and a little open end wrench, and it took multiple passes to clean out each nut insert. The worst insert to work on, the nut that sits above the tailpipe. As the video mentions, I had to pull the tailpipe out of the way with a strap to reach that one. Making it worse, the factory had welded this particular nut insert a little too close to the hole in the (unibody) frame.
Also like in the video, the last bolt hole on the hitch frame (the one closest to the front of the vehicle) appeared to be out of line, almost like the Draw-Tite frame was bent. Unfortunately it was much further out than could be jostled back in place by hand, probably due to the aforementioned off center nut insert. I ended up using a big drift to lever the Draw-Tite frame into alignment, with multiple shims against the gas tank holding it out so I could get that bolt to start.
Net-net, time consuming to install, but mostly because of the age, design, and construction of the vehicle.
Product fit was perfect on our 2007 Jeep Liberty. The only installation difficulty was the bolt under the exhaust pipe needed to be installed with a open end wrench because of the close clearance. Very good quality hardware supplied. The use of Bellevue lock washers keeps everything tight, follow the torque guidelines.
fit perfect
My husband installed it quickly. Only issue was the exhaust pipe blocked one of the bolts and made it difficult to get a wrench on. We're now ready to order our bike rack from etrailer. Thanks for the info on measuring to make sure it will fit our Jeep Liberty.
Been looking at etrailer for couple of years for hitch.Could'nt beat the Price or FREE shipping that was lighting FAST! As far as installation I retapped all mounting holes on my 2005 Jeep Liberty two days before which made every thing much easier.Oh did I tell I did this by my self in the drive way with a large floor jack,jacking it into position and a some wiggling,.Only took 45min.
I purchased a trailer hitch for my Jeep over the phone. Within minutes of hanging up, my order detail had been emailed to me. Approximately 30 minutes later I received my tracking info for this purchase. Two days later, my hitch arrived in perfect condition and exactly as described on the website. Phone, communication and shipping were all excellent with this company.....very pleased.
Fit the vehicle perfectly. The instructions and videos from this site were extremely helpful during installation, which is definitely manageable. The shipment arrived faster than I expected. It has been working great for the past 18 months. Customer service and care are excellent. Will continue to use this site.
This was a direct bolt on for my 2006 Jeep Liberty. Not an issue with the product, but the forward right bolt hole was blocked by the muffler...could use a shorter bolt in that location. Finish was okay with the exception of where the packaging was ripped open (not the fault of the seller). For the fit and finish at this price point, you can't go wrong with ordering from etrailer.com
2006 Jeep Liberty - perfect fit to the Jeep frame. My problem was on the Jeep side, holes were corroded and smaller than the M12 bolts supplied w/ the hitch. I needed to clean threads very well and purchase 7/16-14 bolts.
2003 Jeep LibertyI have used this receiver for almost 2 years now, and it is an excellent fit for the Liberty due to the spare tire location. You will need to use a minimum of 3" drop on the ballmount to clear the spare tire and have room for your coupler. 4" is better. You could use less drop if you have an extender.
Was easily installed as well as the wiring harness. Looking forward to pulling my utility trailer.
very easy to install this is the 2nd trailer hitch I have used from etrailer.Very good co to do business with good quality for the money will use them again
Prompt delivery via UPS at 45 lbs. The hitch fit good on my 2006 Jeep Liberty. Pretty easy to install with the right front lug nut difficult to start because the tail pipe is in the way.
Great service , extremely speedy delivery. Very pleased. One will not be disappointed dealing with this company.
Good quality, stout hitch. Fully welded. Fit perfectly no issues aligning bolt holes. Holding gas tank guard in place with jack made install painless. Towed boat just after install with no issues.
Had to do a little prying to get a couple of the bolt holes to line up with the frame, but other than that an excellent fit and easy installation. Do yourself a favor and get a 12mm X 1.75 tap to clean out the weld nuts on the frame, or make one by cutting a few grooves in a bolt of the same size.
Great product, ordered and received quickly. Arrived in great condition. Installation was pretty easy. Has held up well so far!

Hmm, you could always use a hitch extender like part #HE12. Keep in mind, however, that if you use an extender, your overall hitch capacity is cut by 50 percent.
