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. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers.

The trailer hitch came with chipped paint which I needed to fix myself. I called customer service and they suggested I fix it with some spray paint and offered my a nominal $ credit for the paint. I went this route and made the repairs myself. I ended up spending a lot of my time which is worth much more than that. I also had an appointment scheduled to attach the hitch to my vehicle and needed to rush the repair before that. In the end the trailer hitch has lasted through the winter and extensive use. The product is good, but perhaps the shipping company was at fault, but ultimately the vendor could have offered more to compensate me for my inconvenience.

Great customer service as always. This is my third trailer hitch purchase from e-trailer. Thank you for being exceptional in your knowledge and professionalism.

A very pleased customer.

Works great, look great on my BMW X5 I had a body shop install it because it is complicated on a BMW no lights just for bike rack well worth it.



by:

Trailer hitch hangs down 3 to 4 inches lower than the factory BMW hitch. Receiver portion of the hitch also points down slightly: it should be level to the ground or point up slightly. I installed a bicycle carrier rack in the hitch: the hitch was so low it caused the bicycle tires to drag the ground occasionally. Hitch needs to be re-designed

Outstanding service. I needed a trailer hitch for a brand new 2020 BMW X5 - cannot get it installed thru BMW (only if I ordered the car with trailer hitch - which I didn't). Researched on etrailer.com and found the exact part with instructions. The hitch was delivered on-time - speedy as well. Took it down to the auto shop and they installed without issue - looks just like factory. Extremely happy with etrailer.com. Thanks guys and gals!

Got for my 2021 x5 (G05). My installer was able to install without any issues. It does block the kick to open tailgate feature, but that’s what I expected from a fixed hitch.



by:

This was the only hitch that fit my car, yet you stocked it. Web info prior to purchase was complete and accurate. Ordering was simple. Pricing was extremely fair and delivery was amazingly prompt. There was even follow up to ensure that the product had been delivered and was in good shape as promised. Excellent experience! Would definitely do business with this company again!

I've bought multiple hitches and wiring harnesses from E-trailer and always excellent service and fast delivery.

Third hitch purchased from etrailer. Product as described, fast delivery, and quality hitch



by:

Received the hitch today, installed it today. Why only 4 stars? The printed documentation wasn't complete as compared to the PDF available on line and the photos printed in b/w were too small and almost useless. Other than that, everything fit once I figured out how it was supposed to fit and the hitch is quality so I'm happy.



by:

Have not installed yet. Initial thoughts are that design, welds and machining are spot on. I did have several large portions of powder coating that flaked off completely to bare metal. This was largely due to packing and shipping.



by:

Perfect hook for trailer. Would purchase again - came quickly too!!

Great customer service on the phone helping me decide the correct hitch for my car. 2 day delivery. Thanks !!

  • Does Draw-Tite Hitch 76288 Require Bumper Fascia Trimming on 2020 BMW X5
    The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76288 for the 2020 BMW X5 does require some fascia trimming and slight bumper beam mounting plate trimming. The bumper beam is temporarily removed but reinstalled after trimming the mounting plate. The installation does require trimming a 3.75" x 4 " sqaure into the fascia for the hitch receiver to stick through since it's a concealed cross tube design the only portion of the hitch visible after installation is the receiver tube.

  • Recommended Hitch and Wiring for my 2019-2020 BMW X5
    The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76288 is a custom fit hitch for the 2019-2020 BMW X5 non M Model. The 2" is in reference to the size of the receiver tube opening instead of the ball size. Any 2" accessories like the Curt Fusion Ball Mount for 2" Hitches part # C45151 which has the 1-7/8" ball for you to use. There will be no added benefits that I know of going with a factory hitch. Always good to check though. Yes a repair or body shop would be a great place to...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2020 BMW X5
    For your 2020 BMW X5 we have the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch # 76288 that is confirmed to fit and will work perfectly, as long as you don't have the M performance model. This is an excellent Class III hitch that features a hidden crosstube design so that only the 2" receiver is visible on the vehicle. This creates a sleek, from-the-factory look on your brand new BMW. Its robust 7,200 pound towing weight capacity is more than enough for anything this vehicle can safely handle....

  • Lightweight Trailer Towing Setup For 2020 BMW X5
    To tow a light weight trailer with the 2020 BM X5, you need a hitch, hitch lock, trailer wiring, and ball mount with ball. For the hitch, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76288 which is a custom fit hitch for your BMW so there is not any drilling required for installation. This is the only hitch option for the BMW at this time but Draw-Tite is a great brand that is known to make quality hitches. I have attached the installation instructions for your reference....

  • Does Adding a Weight Distribution System Increase a Hitch's Gross Tongue Weight Capacity
    A weight distribution system does not increase a hitch's tongue weight capacity. Rather, it takes weight off of the tongue, helping loads stay stable and level. In other words, if you use a trailer without a weight distribution system with a tongue weight that is just under the hitch's gross tongue weight capacity, it can cause the rear of your vehicle to sag. The weight distribution system evens things out by re-distributing weight across all the axles of the towing setup. I've linked...

  • Does Draw-Tite Hitch for 2020 BMW X5 Require Bumper Fascia Trimming
    To install the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76288 on your 2020 BMW X5, you'll need to temporarily remove the bumper/fascia in order to get the hitch in place. Before it can be re-installed, you will need to trim off a small section, as shown in the first photo. In addition to that, the bumper beam mounting plate will need to be slightly trimmed by 1 inch as well (second photo). A trim pad removal tool like # ALL648544 will come in very handy. That being said, you won't...

  • Hitches For 2019 BMW X5 With Or Without M-Sport Package
    While they may appear similar, the 2019 BMW X5 equipped with an M-Sport package has a different rear suspension than other 2019 BMW X5 models, therefore the designs of the hitches themselves are different. It sounds like you're looking for a trailer hitch that will fit a 2019 BMW X5 equipped with the M-Sport package. If that is the case, then I recommend the Stealth Hitches # SH25VR If your 2019 BMW X5 is not equipped with the M-Sport package, then I recommend the Draw-Tite # 76288.

  • Does Bumper Fascia Need Trimming To Install Draw-Tite 76288 Class III Hitch on 2022 BMW X5
    In order to install the Draw-Tite # 76288 on a 2022 BMW X5, the bumper fascia would indeed need to be trimmed as shown in the photo I've provided. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # 119250KIT, a # 2753 ball mount and a # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball.

  • Does Install of Draw-Tite 76288 Require Bumper Trimming on 2020 BMW X5
    According to Draw-Tite, fascia trimming would indeed be required to install the # 76288 on your 2020 BMW X5. The good news is that the trimming is done to the underside of the fascia, so the trimmed area isn't very visible from the rear of the vehicle, as shown in the provided photo. All the hitches offered for the 2020 X5 will require some trimming, compared to the Stealth # SH89VR, the Draw-Tite # 76288 would require a very small amount of trimming.

    I do have a trailer wiring harness for your 2019 BMW X5 but the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76288 does not come with this. I recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 119250KIT because this is the only option that you have that will not require splicing. It uses clamps rather than quick splicing connectors so you can revert the vehicle back to stock once they are removed. I have attached an install video on a slightly older model. In regard...

  • Will Installing Draw-Tite 76288 Class III Hitch on 2022 BMW X5 Stop Hands Free Liftgate From Working
    When the Draw-Tite # 76288 is installed on a 2022 BMW X5, the receiver tube will block the sensors from picking up movement under the bumper at the center of the vehicle. If you wave your foot several inches to the right or left of the receiver tube, the sensors will trip and open the rear hatch for you. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like the Tekonsha ZCI, part # 119250KIT which won't pierce your wiring or require any cutting and splicing,...

    Yes, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76288 will fit your 2020 BMW X5 sDrive 40i. The reason why we specify "excluding M performance models" is because that option has a different trim package so it changes out the hitch interacts with the vehicle body. The sDrive has the same trim style as the xDrive which this hitch was installed on in the linked instructions (see attached).

  • Wireless Or Wired Trailer Brake Controller For a 2022 BMW X5 With Factory Tow Package
    The Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 is going to be the easiest solution for adding a brake controller on your 2022 BMW X5 with the factory tow package. The biggest benefit is there is no wiring being added on your BMW.

    The Draw Tite hitch part # 76288 that you referenced installs similarly to the factory hitch but is not going to fit in the exact same bumper cut out area as it hangs lower. So there would be some trimming required most likely but we don't know for sure as we haven't had that type of vehicle test fit.
