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. 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.

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.Easy no drill install. The hardest part was getting the original bolts out of the truck. Once they were off it was easy. I went with the heavy duty hitch because I will be towing a 3500lb camper with the weight distribution set up. There is a more light weight option but why limit my truck to 5000lbs, I can tow at the full 8000lb capacity with this hitch. With a trailer hitch you never know what you want to tow, why go lightweight and not have your towing capacity available.
This is my 3rd trailer hitch from etrailer.com. Great pricing, quick delivery, and the hitches they offer are well made. This hitch is for my 2008 Dodge Dakota. A little difficult to install by myself (truck's bumper was tweaked), but I succeeded, and in less than an hour.
The only minor fault I found was the decals installed by Draw-Tite. Their name as well as the weight spec decal are installed upside down. See photo. But of course, that doesn't effect the way the hitch works. I'm very happy with my purchase.
Great product, installed the receiver hitch today, took about 2 hours. Installed it by myself using a floor jack. Had watched the installation video twice. Fit was perfect on my 2008 Dodge Dakota. Best price.
I just received the hitch yesterday and have not installed it yet. It appears to be a well built product and pretty simple to install.
Short story - Great experience overall, great price, quick delivery, perfect fit for my 2005 Dakota pickup, very helpful installation vÃdeo. Longer story: The bumber hitch on my Dakota was listed at 2,000 lbs with 200 lbs tongue weight which wasn't enough to pull the trailer I planned to rent, so I needed a 5,000 lb receiver-style hitch. After poking around on the internet looking at various brands, specs, and suppliers, I ran short on time and decided to order from etrailer because they had the best price AND because they had helped me before via email with a question about a Thule rack. The fact that they had helped me previously even though it was clear I would not buy anything left me feeling like they were good folks. I chose to pay extra for 3-day delivery on my hitch and it showed up in only 2 days (maybe because I'm only two states away). After reviewing their installation vÃdeo twice (not sure whether other distributors offer this kind of vÃdeo), the install really was a breeze. Everything lined up perfectly and it took less than 30 minutes but I'll say it was VERY helpful that I had a second person to help lift the hitch and hold it in place until one bolt was inserted on each side. It would be very tricky to do by yourself. One of my concerns was whether I'd be able to break loose the existing mounting bolts on my 13 year old Dakota but surprisingly, they came out very easily and it was a cinch re-inserting them once the new hitch was in place and I did not need to put the truck on a jack to do the install. Last point, my 3.7Litre Dakota had a tough time pulling that heavy trailer over Hoosier Pass in Colorado at 10,000+ feet, but once I got down below 6,000 feet it had sufficient power and towed just fine. Next time I need trailer supplies I probably won't poke around too long before buying from the etrailer guys.
This was ordered and delivered in 2 days! Great communication the whole time. Overall great experience and great product. Will buy from again.
Nice hitch. Quick ship. Packing department needs training - no damage to hitch though.
I haven't actually pulled anything with it yet... but install wasn't terrible. Took much longer than the estimated 30 mins, but that was because one of the 4 bolts didn't want to budge... took me a couple hours to finally get the bolt out. Once all 4 bolts were removed, installation was pretty straight forward.
It probably didn't help that my truck is a 2006 and I'm sure those bolts had never been touched in the past 13 years.

After 1 year, still going strong. Great product, great service.
perfect fit fast install!!
Good quality product, perfect fit, and fast shipping!!
Purchased a can of BP Blaster penetrating spray the day after I ordered the parts. I sprayed the weld nuts several times while waiting for the parts to arrive and it seemed to help loosen them up. My order arrived on time and I installed the hitch the next morning. I installed the hitch by myself ( I'm 67 years old), and while I admit that an extra set of hands would have been very helpful, the install was easier than I anticipated. I had all the parts I needed, the instructions were easy to follow and the online video was very helpful. I purchased the hitch in order to tow a trailer with a ton of wood pellets, instead of getting 1/2 a ton at a time (the capacity of my truck). Hopefully these products will solve my problem, only time will tell.
I'm sure the product will be fine once I get it installed. The box it was shipped in was made from a friable cardboard and was delivered with a gaping hole in the side. Fortunately the small parts were attached to the trailer hitch with plastic film.
It fits very good and easy to install. Except the name decals are on upside down. And the hitch is slanted down in the back but not sure if it’s the hitch or the bumper needs to be adjusted up.
The trailer hitch is great, fits perfectly! My only complaint is the packaging, the box didn't hold up to shipping, fortunately all the bolts and washers were taped to the hitch and were not lost
This was a perfect fit for my 2005 Dodge Dakota. It was incredibly simple to install. The longest part was me getting the old rusty bolts to break free on my pickup, which has nothing to do with the hitch. This model is definitely the way to go!
As advertised. Shipped fast, nice item, a little concerned when I received it since it had broken through the cardboard box, but no damage to the piece. Installed it by myself, recommend that you have at least one friend to help during the process, getting it in place (with a double jack) worked, but was time consuming. Tucks in nicely and looks good. Haven't used it yet,but plan to do so in a few weeks.
Easy install, bolted right on. Came packaged well and the included instructions are foolproof, even better, there’s a video on how to install specifically for my truck. 10/10 support, shows etrailer cares about their customers and making sure you get what you need. 100% buying from here in the future. Precision fit and good finish, welds look sturdy and aren’t your average mass produced looking beads.
Very happy with the trailer hitch receiver. It was listed at a great price and shipped in just two days! Thank you
So easy to install,I'm a 60 year old lady didn't do it by myself no tools , my friend Darryl had all the tools needed so I helped him. We live in Louisiana, it's not here in June,we took two beer breaks,one smoke break and still got it done installed in 2 hours. EXCELLENT PRODUCT!! I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE!!!!! THANK YOU . AND IT CAME IN THREE DAYS !!!!
Smooth transaction. Quick delivery. Fits truck perfectly. Product came with all necessary miscellaneous bolts and washers to attach product as well as clear instructions.
Excellent experience... delivered on time and everything needed came together making installation and use of the hitch a simple matter. Would recommend for all trailer and towing needs
Great product and customer support. Installation was easy with the videos that are available to view
Very pleased with the product and the timely manner it was shipped. Arrived a day early. I ordered from etrailer with confidence as i am a repeat customer and have never been disappointed. Would not hesitate to order again.
