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

Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch.

Haven’t put it to the test yet with actual towing, but as far as install goes it was super easy. The videos provided by etrailer were thorough and easy to follow along with. The daunting task of pulling off the rear bumper on my new car was less scary after having seen it done. Looks great!

Great hitch receiver at a great price!!
Fast delivery
Installed by my regular mechanic in less than an hour

I am a first time user of e-trailer. My experience was a good one. The parts that I had ordered arrived very quickly for not having to pay any shipping, good on you e-trailer. I had watched the video on installing my new draw tite receiver. It was a completely custom fit for my 2018 Durango. And the video was spot on. As I saw in other reviews most did not like that they use ty-wraps to hold the bottom part of the fascia, so I went a step farther and drilled and tapped two 1/4x20 holes in the bottom of the reciever and screwed it on to the bottom (see pics) worked great. The only problem I had was the collar on the reciever was not welded on in the right spot, just a bit off. That made it difficult to push a hitch ball in or in my case a bike rack(also purchased for e-trailer, but with a bit of filing all good. Thanks guys for getting everything here quickly.

I have not used it a bunch yet, but when I first installed it we went on a trip to Michigan. It was about a 5-6 hour drive. I hauled 4 adult bicycles on the hitch and bike rack purchased from e-trailer. They made the trip flawlessly, both directions. I was and are very satisfied with e-trailer and the equipment purchased from them, would recommend them to anyone. Thanks guys!
by: MP01/09/2023
So happy I purchased this hitch from etrailer. The installation went perfectly.
They though of everything and I loved the fish cables the best.
Very fast shipping..great customer service.. very detailed videos for installs.
It’s not to often companies value good business anymore.
I will definitely buy from etrailer again.
Excellent service. They deserve more then 5 stars.

I feel confident of the integrity of the hitch. No issues on my occasional use with my trailer 2-5k and hitch carrier. Id buy again when needed for another vehicle.

Great fitment. Awesome product easy ins tallation
by: Zach08/29/2023
So this hitch is great! It is a decent amount of work to put in by your self so I suggest asking for help. Even with help, be ready to put some work in. In my opinion it is worth it because this recover hides in the bumper so you can put cover on to make your Durango look slick. Now the only reason why I give it 3 stars, is because it’s very difficult to get the chains to snap on to the loops. It’s very inconvenient but this problem could probably be fixed with adding in some quick link hooks. If it wasn’t for that, I’d give it 5 stars!

2017 Dodge Durango
We are using this hitch package on our 2017, Durango GT to tow a new (single) personal watercraft. Delivery communication was delivery only took a few days. We had it professionally installed with no issues. I love that the hitch receiver is mostly hidden within the bumper cover (when in use) and that the removable OEM hitch cover fits perfectly with no interference (when not in use), all while maintaining OEM ground clearance. Very slick and MUCH less $$ than the OEM.

2014 Dodge Durango
The installation videos on durango (mine 2014) were extremely helpful. Especially how to remove the bumper facia. I found it was unnecessary to drop the exhaust system. The fish wires to pull the carriage bolt and bar were very helpful. on the passenger side, i needed to have the bar and bolt go into the cavity one at a time and had to be careful how the bar landed to allow it to reassemble by pulling on the fish wire.
by: Tim 02/21/2024
Easy and straight forward unnatural process. Works great no problems.
by: Mike11/05/2021
Product came in on time and as described! The associated videos showing install was extremely helpful and they made the install very easy! I had a few different tools so I did not have to drop the exhaust, but I appreciate that they showed how to do it for those that may have to. Results came out awesome and the hardware included the body pins which was helpful. The only thing I would ask for would be the clips for the lower facia to be reinstalled instead of using zip ties.

so easy to install, online video was spot on with the instructions right down to the socket sizes needed.

Excellent product. Very thorough directions. It made installation very easy.

Everything fits perfect the only problem is the Botoom part doesn't have the support for bumper where 2 bottom bolts goes.

I am very pleased how well it fit on my 2022 Dodge Durango SXT. It took my son and I just over an hour to complete installation. We watched the provided installation video and never had to look at the instructions. Side note, we didn’t remove the spare, lower the exhaust, or cut the plastic as shown in the video.
by: Jeff 08/24/2022
I much prefer this hitch rather than the low-mount hitches. Installation was definitely more involved than the non-hidden receivers. My biggest complaint with this receiver is the attachment points for the trailer safety chains. It's impossible to get the safety chain hooks onto the mount rings, which ultimately requires the use of either quick links, or another (adequately rated) attachment technique.

2020 Dodge Durango
Rather simple install as I did it in a little less than 2 hours on our 2020 Durango GT. You do not have to let down the spare tire as the directional video shows ( 18" spare tire and I used a ratchet instead of electric impact ). Also didn't have to cut out the bumper cover any.
by: John 08/22/2023
Just got it. Looks good! Had to wait a little but no problem. We’ll get it installed this week. Thanks!
by: Chris 07/05/2022
2018 Dodge Durango
Free shipping!! Shipping said 3-5 days but this came in just 2 days!! All in all everything was great. I really wish they welded on the tabs for the two bumper mounting brackets that secure the factory bumper. Zip ties are ok but it’s kinda a crappy way to fasten something on a $40,000 vehicle. The hitch fits nicely behind the cover so it does give it a clean look. Happy they made a hitch just like a factory setup. Thanks etrailer, I will continue to buy for you!
by: Sidney12/14/2021
Very happy with the product. Was able to install as shown in the video.
by: Brandon 01/04/2023
Has worked flawless, I really like the fact that it sits behind the flat factory cover and my spare tire was able to stay in place.

See what our Experts say about this Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch
- Can Hitches for 2020 Dodge Durango Fit With Spare Larger than 18 inch Wheel SizeAll of the hitches we offer for your 2020 Dodge Durango like the Draw Tite part # DT38MR do not fit with spare sizes that are larger than 18 inches. Now if what you have truly is smaller in overall diameter than a standard tire size that fits your vehicle the hitch would fit with it. The 18 inch tire size that fits your vehicle has a diameter of 30.5 inches so you'd want to measure the diameter of your spare and make sure it's less than 30.5 inches.

The hitch is designed to fit with a stowed 18" tire but not 20" so it will not be able to remain stowed under the vehicle. There are currently not any options that allow you to stow a 20" tire.

- Concealable Hitch Receiver for a 2021 Dodge Durango Yes, we do have a hitch receiver for your 2021 Dodge Durango and it has a subtle appearance compared to other hitches. It is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class IV- 2" item # DT38MR. This hitch installs behind your rear bumper and is concealed behind a trim panel when not in use.

- Can You Upgrade The Trailer Hitch If Your Vehicle's Towing Capacity Exceeds The Hitch Capacity If the capacity of your vehicle is higher than the hitch then you can definitely swap to a higher rated hitch to match the capacity of the vehicle. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT38MR you were looking at would be the right fit for your Durango. It has a 7,500lb capacity but you'll still be limited to the 7,200lb capacity of the vehicle. This hitch will replace the impact structure at the rear of the vehicle and will require trimming of the fascia. it will also only allow...
view full answer... - Best Hidden Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2020 Dodge DurangoThe most hidden trailer hitch available for your 2020 Dodge Durango is without a doubt the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT38MR. The 2" receiver for this Class III hitch will actually extend out through the bottom of the rear bumper instead of sitting below it like all the other options. This not only provides you with a clean, factory-like appearance but it also really helps with ground clearance. I have attached a couple images below so you can see exactly how it looks...

- Does Draw Tite Hitch # DT38MR Fit 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Loredo w/o Removable FasciaThe Draw Tite hitch part # DT38MR is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo and would still fit whether you had the removable rear fascia or not. At worst you'd just have to trim the rear fascia of your vehicle so that your hitch could fit through it.
view full answer... - Will The Draw-Tite Hitch # 76196 Fit A 2019 Dodge Durango RT With A Spare?Yes, there is plenty of room between the Draw-Tite Hitch # DT38MR and the spare tire on the 2019 Dodge Durango. The stock spare is an 18 inch wheel and you will have no problems. I've included a picture to show you and also included the install video so you can install by yourself!

- Can the Spare Be Stored Under a 2019 Dodge Durango Once a Hitch is Installed?The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class IV- 2" # DT38MR will fit models with an 18" or smaller spare tire that is stored under vehicle. With that being said, if your spare tire is larger than this, it will not be able to be stored under the vehicle, unfortunately. I double checked and all the hitch options we have for a 2019 Dodge Durango will have the same restriction for the spare tire as well.
view full answer... - Does Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch DT38MR Require Removing Bumper/Fascia on 2018 Jeep Grand CherokeeYes, for your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, you will need to remove the bumper/fascia in order to install the Draw-Tite hitch that fits: - Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT38MR The reason why is because this hitch is totally concealed behind the bumper, so it needs to be removed in order for the hitch to be installed properly. The trade-off is your Jeep doesn't have a large hitch tube protruding from under it, so it is a cleaner overall aesthetic. I have added a link below...
view full answer... - Is the Measurement of a Hitch Receiver Size the Internal or External Dimension of the Tube? The size of the hitch (1-1/4", 2", 2-1/2", and 3") refers to the internal dimensions of the hitch receiver tube. Since Class III hitches are only on 2" receivers, the internal dimensions of your hitch measure 2" x 2". However, it is important to make sure that you do not exceed the weight capacity of the hitch or the weight capacity of your vehicle. I went ahead and attached a helpful help article that walks you through the measurements of each hitch we carry.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch for 2020 Dodge Durango that is Totally Hidden Behind Removable Appearance PanelYes the Draw Tite hitch part # DT38MR that you referenced is a hidden hitch for your 2020 Dodge Durango. When not in use you can reinstall the rear fascia cover over the hitch opening and it would be totally concealed. We've had customer come back and tell us how well the hitch fit and that they liked how the rear cover was able to fit back over the hitch once it was installed.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2019 Dodge Durango GT I recommend installing the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT38MR on your 2019 Dodge Durango GT. This receiver has a factory design as it is designed to mount behind the rear bumper fascia and is accessed through the removable fascia panel. For the wiring you will need to have a custom harness created there as the US spec harnesses we carry integrate the turn signals with the brake lights for the trailer lighting. The Euro wiring keeps these circuits separate. They will also...

The factory cover can be put back in place after the hitch is instaslled. Look at the two pictures I've attached when we installed the hitch on a Durango.

- Will the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit a 2015 Dodge Durango with Full Size SpareThe Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT38MR which is a fit for your 2015 Dodge Durango is designed to work with a factory full size spare tire that has a steel wheel which I have attached a photo of for you. If you have a steel wheel then yes the hitch will fit but if you have an alloy wheel like what is on the vehicle then the hitch will not fit. If you can send me a photo of your spare tire I would be happy to confirm this for you.

- Can Spare Tire Stay on 2022 Dodge Durango Using Draw-Tite Hitch DT38MRHey Roland, good question and the answer is you can leave your 18 inch spare tire on your 2022 Dodge Durango and still install the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT38MR.

It might be best to just swap out to an aftermarket trailer hitch like the Draw-Tite # DT38MR so you know the hitch integrity hasn't been compromised but you might wait to see what your shop...

That said, you will want to make note of the size of your spare tire/wheel as the trailer hitch options only allow you to retain an 18" diameter wheel, not the 20" diameter wheel.

The safety chain connections are made behind the bumper, so they will go underneath. Some models like the photo you see can remain untrimmed and connect from the back.

After a year I still love this hitch. Looks great, tows great, not a single complaint. As a consumer I feel I am often very critical of products and I honestly have nothing I can find wrong with it. If you’re on the fence, get it! You won’t be disappointed.
