Fully welded Ford F-150 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.

This hitch has exceeded our expectations for purchasing a hitch on line. The assemble was easy and was done in about and your. Was able to fit in right in, it replaced our factor hitch. It has served us well on many camping trips. We are pulling a 1984 camper and it has no issues at all with the weight. Good product from a good place. Keep up the good work.
Hitch bolted right up. No problems. Hardware kit was short 1 Carriage Bolt, Nut & Lock Washer, but I got'em at the local hardware.
Firs good & looks good.
The shipping packaging left a lot to be desired, it was wrapped in plastic wrap, not particularly protected from scrapes and scratches, some paint was chipped off. It did not appear to be bent out of shape anywhere. The holes lined up, instructions called out M10 hardware on my truck, but it was M13. Fishing the wire through the frame was difficult, longer wire might have helped.

When the hitches are shipped to us they are shipped stacked together in large pallets which means that at times they arrive in less than pristine condition. I recommend touching up the affected areas with a rust resistant paint which you will then have on hand for regular hitch maintenance.

This hitch has pulled multiple U-Haul trailers full of goods, and performed perfectly! This included some long haul trips. Great quality, easy installation, and very fair price! I highly recommend this product!
The hitch itself is very well built and etrailer delivered it within two days. The only problem that I had was with the installation. There are two brackets on each side that attach with three bolts to the frame. The space between them is so that it clears the leaf spring bracket. If you lift the hitch straight up so that it remains parallel with the ground, it clears perfectly. The only problem is that it is very hard to do that with just two people under the truck because of its weight. It would be very easy to insert the bolts through the front holes, then swing the whole assembly up into place for the other bolts EXCEPT when you try to do that, the back bracket hits the leaf spring bracket stopping it. If both the front and back bracket were just a half inch narrower (one more inch of space between the brackets), this would be a super easy hitch to install. And as heavy duty as it is, it wouldn't affect the strength or integrity of the hitch.
The ordering process and delivery of my trailer hitch was outstanding. The only issue was with a rebate form which I could not get to print on my computer. I sent it to another computer and it would not print there either. I called and talked with your customer service and tried various methods and could not work it out. Therefore, the customer service rep. mailed a form but I haven't seen it so far.
Overall, my expectations have been met. More when I receive the rebate form.
Thanks, in advance, for your positive response to my request
Installation on my 2004 F-150 STX was a breeze and product works as intended. No drilling required, (if you have exhaust straight out the back it will need to be removed/lowered during install)
Had to take away 1 star due to missing parts. I read the reviews before purchasing and a couple people indicated they were missing a bolt/washer/nut combo so they only received 5/6 pieces required for install. I know these things can happen accidentally during packing so I purchased anyway. Lo and behold, item showed up with 5/6 pieces. I headed on over to the hardware store and picked up what I needed. No biggie, but If you are buying it would be safe to assume you are out another [fe dollars] to buy those missing parts on your own.
well built product, no new holes to drill but instructions say f150 with oem hitch might not fit. had to cut old oem hitch out for bolts to fit and reattach bumper to frame. this is a nice product but some information missing in description portion of this product, also if you have an exhaust other than stock you might have an issue do to the replacement hitch. came with bolts and a way to mount them almost painless. worth the money. only a few hours to hook up. sorry no pics to post
These guys are fantastic at etrailer. Great customer service with Rodney who I spoke with for some length of time getting me all the information I needed.
My order arrived a day early and I had it installed before the original delivery date and time that was scheduled. Thank you, guys.
Except for a minor problem with the weight of the hitch and after getting the two rear bolts installed, the remainder of the installation went smoothly. This hitch will be an advantage if/when we upgrade to a bigger travel trailer. This was the second Draw-Tite hitch received I ordered/installed from e-Trailer and will definitely recommend your company to friends and relatives.
Purchased this receiver to replace my current one, which was after market as well. It fit just as advertised with little trouble. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because Draw-Tite shorted me a bolt, nut and washer, not a deal breaker just inconvenient to go find one. Also the paint was scraped up in multiple places that required touch up prior to install (bare steel on the underside of a truck....bad idea) A better wrapping might have prevented this. Overall happy with the receiver and I would order from etrailer again.
The receiver looks and feels very sturdy. Received it quick. However, the way they shipped it was just wrapping it in packing tape..so when I received it, one arm was bent 2+ inches and the whole thing was fairly beat up. It took me about 30 minutes of wailing on it with a hammer to get it back square. They also left out one nut, washer, and bolt. A quick trip to the hardware store and I was able to finish it. Overall, love the product, not so much the shipping/packing dept.
Was a little bumpy at first because our muffler was in the way. But we managed. Love it will recommend everyone who wants a hitch to buy it from etrailer.com Fast and free delivery.
the hitch was so easy to install. I had it installed 30 minutes after receiving it great hitch thank you

I have towed my 24 foot pontoon boat, my 19 foot bass boat and numerous other trailers with nary a problem. No clanks, rattles or kerchunks. I highly recommend this hitch.
