This fully welded, corrosion-resistant vehicle trailer hitch receiver is perfect for your light-duty towing needs. Draw-Tite's Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry standards. Drawbar sold separately.etrailer ROCKS! They have great products at an even better price, a super website and fast shipping. I purchased my previous hitch from them and knew not to bother looking anywhere else. Being a visual learner I LOVE their video tutorials. The hitch and wiring harness were easy to install, though it always seems to take me longer than their estimate given I am not using air tools, etc.
Hitch was a perfect fit and just right for my little boat trailer. Very satisfied with it.
The hitch works as I had hoped, My bike rack fits well.
Shipping was fast, product fitup great, but it looked used or slid around during or before shipping. Powder coating flaked off, and weld beads were very poor.
Very easy to order on website. Fast shipping stop. And I like the videos that give you a ideal of installing the hitch. I was very happy to see that the hitch fit perfect with clearance for the touchless hatch operation.
Why doesn't the tube extend the 2" or 3". You have to use the extender to use a simple bike rack

The design of the draw-tite hitch part 36642 is a bit recessed under the vehicle. An extender will cut your tongue weight capacity by 50 percent. If you do not want to cut your tongue weight the best solution is to get a bike rack with a longer shank. The Thule hitching post pro is designed with 13-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole and the closest part of the carrier. This will give you enough clearance to use it on your GMC Terrain without an extender.
The video with step-by-step instructions worked out perfectly with no hiccups everything was as described in the description before purchase and installing the hitch and wiring harness was very easy and done in a timely manner highly recommended!
After reading instructions and watching the video it took about 1hour to install the hitch and trailer hitch
It was the easiest trailer hitch and wireing kit I have used
installed on a 2018 GMC Terrain
The shipping was very prompt,,the product is of a very good quality and installed very easily. I was/am very satisfied and would recommend this to anyone considering a trailer hitch.
The Draw-Tite hitch installation went just like the video. Very happy that there were no surprises.

The hitch was very dusty like it's been in warehouse a long time and in a beat up semi open box. I was worried it was damaged but lucky it was not. It had all bolts and parts. It seems like over kill on a heavy hitch for a class II hitch.
Installation was exactly as shown on the instruction video. SWEEET!
Excellent product, 5 stars seller
Watch YouTube video for installation.
Will buy again
My hitch arrived within a few days of placing order. Was very easy to install. Watched a very good YouTube video on the install. This is on a 2019 Equinox. The hitch is a bit lower than the one I had on a 2017 Equinox, but works with my bicycle rack fine.

My hitch is used primarily to hold my bicycle rack and is working fine after one year
I ordered and installed the 1 1/4 inch trailer hitch on my 2018 Equnox mainly to tow my 16 ft. Bass boat. I did this because I have had several cars in the past and have always used a 1 1/4 inch hitch and have never had any trouble. All of my inserts are 1 1/4 inch. Now I am reading all the specs for the hitch I installed and find that it is barely heavy enough to fit my towing needs. For the same price I could have installed a 2 inch hitch and not had the light towing restrictions. My only option is to purchase and install the heavier hitch and try to resell my present one.
The tow package arrived in a timely manner and in good condition. Installation went well thanks to the videos the company provided. The only issue I had was that the muffler rattled against the hitch no matter what I did. I rechecked my installation and followed suggestions from the retailer. I ended up using a universal muffler hanger that allowed me to lower the exhaust 1/2". This solved the problem, and the hitch has performed well over the last year and still looks great. I have bought from this company before and will buy from them again in the future.
Trailer hitch was just what I needed. This is the second hitch purchased from etrailer. The first one I installed. This one I had a mechanic install as I had health issues. It works well with my bike rack. The kit was complete and easy to install. Best done with a helper to hold it in place while you get the bolts started.
The complete order was timely and as expected. Very good experience as I have always had with E trailer purchases.
I bought this hitch for a new vehicle to use with a bike rack I already owned. I bought that from you, also. When the hitch was delivered I called because the box was open. Someone stayed on the line with me while I checked to make sure nothing was missing. Great service. When my friends asked where I got my bike rack and hitch, I always tell them trailer.
The hitch is used on a fleet of cars for use as an attachment for a bicycle rack.
Hitch was so easy to Install with the detailed instructions I got. I did it myself- with no helper! After using it for a 2-bike rack about 30 times in the past year, it’s still doing great. I use the long bolt instead of the cotter/linchpin and I have no rattle or excel movement. Very satisfied with this purchase.
This is a very solid trailer hitch. It fit my 2018 Equinox perfectly and it was easy to install. It only took about 45 minutes to do the complete job and its hidden profile easily keeps the receiver away from obstructions. After one year, it's still in prime condition.
Almost all hitch receivers were damaged/bent and required straightening in order to fit on the vehicles, which took a lot of time and effort to make them usable.
The hitch is very solid and easy to install. It fits quite well and much of it is concealed so it looks good too. Shipping was very fast and the service at etrailer has always been good. My only issue is it was very scratched and there was peeling paint on arrival (I uploaded one picture showing some of the scratching). It wasn't due to shipping but packaged that way. I had to buy some spray paint and paint it myself because there was a fair amount of bare metal showing that I didn't want rusting. On the underside of the hitch there was also a lot of slag from welding. Not a huge deal but it shows that not a lot of care was taken when it was welded. I'm sure the hitch will work just fine but I'd be a lot happier if it hadn't arrived all scratched up and have welding slag all over the bottom of it.
We the hitch also every weekend. It works great.

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom wiring harness. T-One connector plugs directly into existing wiring. Powered ModuLite reduces strain on wiring system.The instructions need to be clearer..such as the connection point is where the lights bulbs connect to the wiring harness is where the inline connector goes..thats why they say to remove the tail lights..otherwise, all went well… if I was to do this again,I I would go to U-Haul and let them do it..would be well worth it
Wiring harness worked well. Installation is relatively easy if you can follow directions. No issues in a year since installation.
Hitch is excellent, installation was straight forward quality is good. Purchased ball mount and ball to go with. Don’t forget the hitch pin like I did.
The lighting adapter kit was a bit of a disappointment. It works but installation was not easy on the Chevy Equinox. I was surprised to find that the controller requires 15 amps of power from a direct battery connection. I have installed trailer wiring on other vehicles that did not need battery power.
etrailer has good selection and pricing, shipping was fast and free. I recommend etrailer without reservation.
ordered for a customer, as always, etrailer items are great and easy to install!
I probably sound like a broken record because all my reviews start the same. I ordered this and a trailer hitch to install on a friend of mines vehicle. Like always, the right stuff, the right price and on time. You help me keep my promises to friends and customers.
Super fast shipping, all parts arrived! The how to videos are spot on! Only thing I didn’t like is what’s in this pic, a bare spot on the molding process I reckon. I covered with tape and sealer. Cheers
You will need a car lift to install the harness. You must raise and lower the vehicle at least 3 or 4 times. The last being to snake the power lead to the vehicle battery in a way so as not to pinch or burn it.I went to an auto electric shop to have it installed.

Thank you for your review. We have had customers successfully install the wiring with jack stands.

No problems so far.
Good quality and straight forward install. The one thing I would have changed is the length of the lead wire from the control box to the drivers side tail light patch connector. All the other harness sections have more than adequate length, but in order to get enough slack in the lead to the drivers side connection, I had to tear off and re-place the control box up higher on the body in an area that is not as flat and suitable to mount it. 2 or 3 more inches on that lead wire would have made it so the box mounts very nicely on the lower flat side of the rear body rail. All in all, a good product, just might need a tweak to fit the new Equinox perfectly
This is the 3rd order from etrailer and have never had a problem. The hitch was easy to install but you will need two people to hold the hitch in place while you put a couple bolts in place to secure it. I do not have a lift but using a jack and some stands will work just as well. My son and I were able to install it in just about 75 minutes. The online videos were perfect and document each step of the process. I also purchased a light kit as well but did not have the chance to install that yet. I will be doing that down the road and will let you know how I make out.
The install of this wire harness went very smooth after watching the video. The step by step narration made wasneasy to follow. It took about 2 hours in my driveway. The materials provided are all good quality too.
I needed this wire harness to pull a trailer with the hitch that I got and installed from Etrailer a few years ago. I have been using the hitch for a bike rack which has been very handy and solid. Great products that are simple to install at home!
Chevrolet used different electrical connectors on different configurations of the same vehicle, such as on the Equinox, they used different wiring connectors on the LS, LT and Premier and whether or not the vehicle was delivered with a hitch, or not, and some had a built in wiring connector for subsequent trailer wiring, or not, and diesel powered units may or may not. Obviously this is confusing and I ordered the wrong kit for my application. I have a diesel LT. etrailer communicated extremely well and we solved the problem quickly, exchanging the first kit with the correct one. Great people. I thank Carol and Odelia
Etrailer is a great company. Always my first choice for trailer parts.
I installed the wire harness using etrailer video guide without major issues. I used more tie wraps but that's just me.
After a year and a about 8000 miles with my trailer the harness works without any problem.
Vehicle is Chevy Equinox 2019 LT.
I was told by a hitch installer that the hitch I was looking for would not be available for 3-4 weeks. I found the hitch on etrailer.com. ln three days the hitch was on my porch, along with the wiring harness. Had it installed the next day. Very pleased with the service. The information shown on the site and the videos were very helpful. Will definitly be back and will recommend etrailer.com to my friends!
The electrical harness worked out pretty good except the yellow wire going up to the left rear tailgate could have been a little bit longer for my car (equinox)
In the past I had always spliced-in the wires when installing wiring for a trailer hitch on a vehicle, but never again after seeing how simple this kit makes the job. With weather proof connectors that snap together, it will be much more reliable than the old splice method. And, it is impossible to wire it incorrectly, which could happen when you're looking for the right wire to splice into (or so I've heard).
Made wiring much easier
Tyra F from etrailer personally called me to inform me I ordered the incorrect wiring harness and mount for my hitch I ordered for my SUV. She assisted me in ordering the correct parts and helped me figure out the best shipping option for my needs. Will definitely recommend etrailer based solely on their high level of customer service!!
The video with step-by-step instructions worked out perfectly with no hiccups everything was as described in the description before purchase and installing the hitch and wiring harness was very easy and done in a timely manner highly recommended!
Ordered a trailer hitch and wiring harness based on product is numbers provided by draw-tite. Product arrived in time frame described and was exactly what I had ordered. It' s been installed on the vehicle, the price was right and the free shipping topped it off. Would order from them again!!
I have actually had one installed since 2018 but due to an electrical problem in the trailer (short) it damaged the module. Thats good because it protected the cars electrical system from any damage. Once I replaced the module everything is working great again!
Wiring harness fit my vehicle perfectly with simple plug in installation and performs as expected every time I need to tow a trailer.
I purchased the trailer hitch & wiring harness for my 2020 Chevy Equinox, deliver was fast, all parts that were needed were included, couldn’t ask for it to go any smoother
The only problem I had was not knowing that there’s two different harness for one type of car and I only found out after. I started running wire

Your vehicle determines which wiring harness you need. Because you have a 2019 Chevrolet Equinox without a factory tow package - Non Premier, then you ordered the correct harness. If you do have a premier with no factory tow package you would need item # 118759. If you do have a factory tow package then there are two options to choose from: item # 118285 or item # C94FR.

Looks complicated but it is not. Very easy to install and it works great. Could have used some heatshrink connectors but I used my own. Good product.
Installed the hitch on my 2020 LT1 Equinox. Easy install if you read the instructions and watch the video before you begin the install.
