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.

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.

We've installed it, we've wired it and we've towed with it, so whatever your question, we can answer it.

Working great, on our VW ID4! Bike rack attaches easily.
Easy ordering, prompt free delivery & excellent video made installation a breeze
Fits perfectly, instructions stated to remove the tail lights but that was not necessary. All other portions of the installation were straightforward.
Perfect fit
I am lucky enough to have 2 friends helping
the installation took around 90 minutes
the ID4 shows the electrical needs service when power up
it goes away after I pull the car out of the garage
hopefully this is only a calibration problem
I only use it lightly; it carries a bike rack that holds one e-bike. I installed it myself following a YouTube video. Perfect so far.
Absolutely easy install. Followed the instructions and a [online video] guide, was done in exactly 90 mins as described. Product is well built and fits the ID.4 perfectly. Highly recommend!
Perfect customer service! I’d order other item which wasn’t available. Just one call and I was able to swap my order for the available item. Amazing, respectful! etrailer.com should be an example to be followed by other companies.
Thank you for the best experience!
Everything was fixed properly as mentioned in the procedure . Thanks to providing these parts which helpful to tow anything
Very nice quality, instructions are a bit off but still helped a lot.
Hitch was as ordered. I had a VW ID.4 AWD ordered which comes with a factory hitch installed but that vehicle is late to the US market so a bought an ID.4 RWD which had no hitch. This hitch makes my car complete.

Draw-tite hitch has been great. For those who use a bayonet hitch for bike racks you can add an extension to hitch so the rear hatch door clears a bike on the rack. Thats a lot easier than tilting the rack loaded with bikes.
1. The installation instructions are fine, a few minor errors (13mm vs 15mm socket)
2. The fit to the car body was excellent, no issues. The cross tube is hidden by the bumper facia.
3. The hitch receiver protrudes almost 2" past the bumper facia. This is nothing like my previous Draw-Tite products. A comparable hitch on VW Tiguan (OEM or aftermarket) is flush or recessed with the facia. The OEM ID.4 hitch is actually recessed a bit. The picture below shows the fitment. Is this a design mistake? Please consider reducing receiver length by 1-2" and the product would be much better.

Thank you for your feedback. This hitch receiver may sit differently than previous hitch receivers you have installed. This receiver is not recessed with the bumper fascia unfortunately.
Easy to install. Fits perfectly on the car. The shipping box is a little scary for the delivery person. Hard metal poking out of the box. Hitch not bent or damaged though.
Install went great, fits well. Wish the bolts included were Grade 12.9 to match the OE hardware. The length is perfect to allow my bike racks to not interfere with the rear of the vehicle.
Note that the vehicle safety systems may activate in reverse when bikes are on the rack bringing the car to an abrupt halt. The Vehicle Owners manual describes a procedure for temporarily deactivating this when required.
Note that the hitch arrived with chipped paint and required repainting before installation.

The Hitch Fits perfectly. Better than factory as its a 2 inch receiver.
Steven B helped by getting me credited for missing hardware. As it was installed we found directions and hardware pack missing from sealed package.We got VW bolts and was credited immediately by customer service. No problem. Hitch came 2 weeks early unexpectedly.
This was pretty easy to install and is very functional. I already towed a 1000 lb trailer with it once. You DO have to cut the plastic bumper cover for it to fit on the 2021 ID.4 pro. Maybe a 1x4 inch cut, not noticeable. I am giving it 4/5 because The receptacle cover is welded a bit crooked. This does not affect the function so far as I can tell but my wife thinks it looks silly.
This hitch receiver is sturdy bit it sticks out a couple of inches adding to vehicle length; the hole for the hitch pin lines up with the rearmost part of the bumper.
It arrived with chipped finish on the corners which won't be visible but also had gouges on the most visible part of the receiver despite the plastic protector which was torn through.
Hitch construction looks good, and well built, but the packaging left a bit to be desired. Previous hitches I purchased from etrailer where well secured in the box. This one was left loose, and had rattled around, poked a few holes, and chipped off the paint in the few areas. Now I have to go buy some spray paint to patch it up.
The hitch works exactly as expected. I can now transport my (sometimes muddy) bike outside the car (yay). My 1-star ding was from chips on the paint as others have reported, but they are minor.
Very fast delivery! I got the trailer hitch receiver on October 15 even though the expected delivery wasn't due until some time in November.
It arrived a exactly when UPS said it would, it was perfectly packed, the instructions were great and the hitch is installed. Thank you.
Was extremely easy to install. The YouTube video was great.
Bolts up very nicely. Great product!
Great fit and finish. Easy installation
It's exactly as described. No scratches or defects. Fits perfectly. Followed a YouTube video to install with no problems
Great fit for my VW iD4.

Still working great, can carry up to 4 bikes on a platform that is easier to load and unload than other racks I have used.
