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.I've installed a lot of these on our vehicles mainly Dodge Caravans and the past and I have to say I really enjoy having this tow hitch it's better design better than the others. I want to mention your guys's prices are more reasonable than others. I appreciate it. Delivery was very fast.
Wiring connector caused a pin in factory harness to push partially out to cause an open in circuit to left turn signal.This led to customer return. trailer hitch mounting holes did not line up correctly. Was unable to install forward most mount bolt.
The original shipping timeframe given was not terribly long, but then it was sent and came in half the time! Hitch receiver fits perfectly on our 2006 Chevy Uplander- drill (2) holes in the frame rails and everything goes together seamlessly. Probably a 30 minute install once you figure out the directions. The directions were not amazing, but they got the job done.

After using this hitch receiver for about a year, we are sold. It has been incredibly useful. We are obviously not hauling huge loads with a minivan but it has been nice to throw a rack on the back for more storage on trips. It doesn't rattle at all and hasn't shifted even slightly since installation. We would do this again in a heartbeat.

Great seller. Packages was shipped very quickly and the hitch came with everything needed and mounted very easily. Thanks for the great service.
We received our hitch quickly. We were not expecting it to arrive so quickly. The hitch was exactly what we needed at a much lower cost than what the local dealers were quoting us. We had our dealership install the hitch for us and all went smoothly. The instructions were easy to understand. We also watched a video on how to install on our vehicle which also helped. Kudos to etrailer Corporation!

We bought the hitch and wiring kit. Being older we had our regular garage man install. No problem installing and it has been working great this whole year. I would definitely recommend this product and company for your needs.
This is as good as it gets, watched the videos they had for my specific model 2003 Montana, did it by myself since I had no help, no problem. Perfect. They send you everything you need so you can't go wrong. A+++, extremely happy.

Working like a champ. No problem, live it.
Awesome hitch, receiver opening is pretty much the only thing noticeable once installed. Using basic homeowner type tools and lying on the ground on my back it took me about 2 hours to install, and that's including a few short breaks. Hardest part was drilling the required holes with a 3/8" drill, had to step up in drill size a few times. By the way, I'm 68 years young, and the temperature here in Florida was about 90 degrees when I installed it so needless to say I didn't move too fast.
Looks great and easy to install (after a little man handleling).
etrailer.com is great to work with, shipping was fast and tracking information very accurate.
Phone support was very helpful!
Thank you.
The Draw-Tite arrived in a timely manner and went into place as promised. It was an easy installation using the instructions and online video. I have not yet used it, but all seems good.
Perfect fit and was a straight forward install. I was impressed with the hardware pack and detailed instructions.
The hitch was in good shape when it was delivered. Box had a hole in it and the parts bag was ripped open . Other than a couple things missing in the parts bag it was a relatively easy install
I've ordered many items online and several have never been delivered.
When I ordered this hitch from etrailers. com I was concerned this was gonna be another item 'lost in shipping' but I was excited when in just two days the package appeared at my door. Etrailers. com has made me a believer again. Thankyou
Thankyou Thankyou
This hitch is not appropriate for a 2008 Chevy Uplander. I ordered it, dry fitted, and confirmed with Etrailer that it is the INCORRECT hitch. Also, not sure why this is rated as 3/10 ease of install vs the Curt 13336 as the Draw Tite requires drilling too 1/2" holes in the frame and the Curt does not. And yeah, yeah you can see customer comments that installed this hitch on an Uplander, but unless their Uplanders are different then mine, then those installations are wrong. Please remove this as an option for 2008 Chevy Uplanders....based on Uplander frame configurations, I doubt this works for ANY Uplander.
The trailer hitch fit my 2008 Chevy Uplander perfectly.
The biggest job was cleaning and tapping the existing weld nuts on the vehicle frame. After many years of Wisconsin winters, the weld nuts were in bad condition. I thought the handle nuts that were supplied in the hardware package would be a trick to install. To my surprise, they installed quite easy. A very clever way to add a nut to the inside of a vehicle frame!
I am totally satisfied with the product, delivery, and the amount of very useful information on the etrailer.com site. Excellent company!
Works very well strong and easy to inst all

After this first year of steady reliable use I would strongly recommend this hitch system.
If you don't have an air compressor for shocks, it should take no more than an hour including finding tools.
If you have an air compressor give yourself at least another hour or more.
With the wiring kit and making everything look factory installed it took me about 4 hours.

Great , works as it should.
Bought this to trailer my bikes with a bike rack that hooks to the hitch. It has worked great! Excellent product.

Great! No problems - fit perfectly - good product!
I recently purchased a hitch from etrailer and I am extremely happy with the product. The install was rather easy even by myself. I also purchased a wiring harness which was again a simple install. Now I'm ready to go fishing!
Thanks etrailer

Fantastic. Not one problem at all and many fishing trips!
Fits vehicle well, but sits too low, and bottoms out over speed bumps in parking lots..Rear carrier bottoms out over very small bumps..This is with new air shocks installed..
Great hitch! We installed it on our 2008 Chevy van and hitched or 1973 Taurus travel trailer to it. Drove it from Mountain Grove, Missouri to Corbin, Kentucky -540 miles- with no issues! Very happy with this product.
Videos were detailed and helpful. Easy install.
I openly consider myself to be one of the least mechanically inclined individuals on the planet! Needless to say that when my wife brought up the topic of putting a trailer hitch on our Saturn minivan I felt a rush of insecurity and trepidation flood over me, especially since she was suggesting doing it ourselves. After blacking out for a short period of time I awoke to my wife saying that she had come across the e-trailer website and that it was very helpful. Of course that is easy for her to say since I would end up being the one under the back end of the minivan with lots of parts and no idea what to do with them. However, after further review e-trailer proved to be different than the other websites. They set themselves apart with their helpful, detailed and easy to follow videos as well as their outstanding customer service. Every step of the way I had knowledgable and committed support if needed (even after the purchase was finalized). The parts arrived in a very speedy fashion and just as ordered. True to the descriptions and online support all of the parts were in fact proper fitting and as easy as described to install. I would most definitely recommend using e-trailer for anyone in the market for a hitch, in particular non-motor heads like myself.
Its been a good hitch it fits right and the price was fair!
Levelling compressor caused issues - with no templates it was a little tricky. In hindsight, I should have mounted the hitch temporarily with the compressor between the hitch and chassis rail, and drilled the extra hole needed through the compressor mounting plate (don't apply too much pressure or you'll drill into the weld nut threads once you go through the compressor mounting plate).
If aestehtics are important to you, the black paint/coating on the hitch scratches easily, so make sure you have a blanket or something else to rest the hitch on while you're working.
Otherwise the install went just like the video said.

That is not good to hear! I do see that this harness is not a confirmed fit for your 2006 Chevy Silverado. I have sent your information over to customer service for them to look into a return. I would be more than happy to assist you in finding a hitch that will fit a 2006 Chevy, but I will need to know what style vehicle it is. Once I have that information, I would love to help.
