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.

While the hitch appears to be built very solidly, I am disappointed in the quality of the powder coated finish. The product was received with multiple chips in the powder coating. Also, the weight label was applied crooked resulting in a very sloppy appearance. Now, instead of installing my hitch today, I have to research the best way to protect the exposed metal. It's unreasonable to have to repair a product straight out of the box.

Great price, excellent videos to help with the installation.

My hitch was easy to install. Everything fit as expected. And my trailer follows me wherever I go. The electronics installed per the instructions without a hitch. (No pun intended.)What more could I ask for?
by: Valentino03/09/2024
Perfect fit for my 2014 Camry. Very happy with my purchase. I took to my local body shop and only took them less than 3 hours to install. Very sturdy and doesn’t stick out. Looks clean.

2017 Toyota Camry
I got a new 2017 Camry and an avid cyclist. Before getting the hitch, I would have to take apart my wheels just to fit it in the trunk. This got old and annoying really quick. I found the Draw-tite trailer receiver hitch on etrailer.com. I made sure it would fit and got it. I had my local mechanic shop install it watching the video vs the manual, because that was confusing. It fit perfectly flushed and clean. I put a hitch mounted bike rack and now my life is that much happier!

I love how convenient it is for hauling my bikes. It definitely beats having a roof rack.
by: iggibar09/09/2022
Very glad I ordered this hitch. Installation was a little complicated due to my 2018 Avalon Limited's exhaust setup and little rust getting in the way. The hitch itself has been phenomenal in every way. What I love the most is that it's SUPER flush with the lower bumper. I hate other hitches that extend too low past the bumper! It's strong, and never once did I question its integrity. I have 2 mountain bikes that I carry on it, and it's been fantastic. I will definitely purchase another one for my other cars.

2014 Toyota Camry
The hitch came with chipped powder coat out of the box. Not from shipping because it was already rusted. etrailer reimbursed me xx dollars to purchase a bottle of spray paint and do it myself...
Just a bit disappointed. I paid for a new hitch not one that can potentially rust more in the future. This is the 2nd hitch for a 2nd vehicle within the year -first one was flawless.
The hitch itself fit well. Bumper gap was a bit larger than I like. Bike rack bottomed out on a not so steep driveway my lowered 2004 wrx had no issues with

Thank you for your review. I apologize about the chips in your product. I am glad Customer Service addressed it. If you would like to raise your bike rack to avoid bottoming out, take a look at product # 3593.

The trailer hitch appears to be of good quality. I'm giving this 2 stars because, my Trailer Hitch arrived scuffed up, there is paint missing and scuffed up. Now I have to find some paint and buff out the damage and paint it before installing it or it's gonna rust right away when winter comes and the salt contacts it. Not impressed.

I will have our customer service team reach out to you. I would suggest touching up the hitch with a rust resistant paint that you will have on hand for regular hitch maintenance.

2012 Toyota Camry
etrailer delivered everything quickly and the instructions were very good. Installed this on my 2012 Camry to carry a bike rack only, so this hitch was perfect since it doesn't include a ball mount or ball. Figuring out how to drill the one inch holes in each frame rail was the hardest part - there are not a lot of metal bits that big available - my solution was to use a Harbor Freight #96275 step drill. All in all a great experience with etrailer.

2014 Toyota Camry
Great hitch and my 2014 Camry SE did not require any trimming. I installed this myself with ease. I used a jack and a piece of 2x4 and the hitch balanced perfectly on the wood and I was able to maneuver it into position without a problem. Shipping was great. One trick, leave the fish wire on until after you get the hitch up to the car to ensure the bolt doesn’t go up into the frame rail. Everything took less than 2 hours and was very simple.

2012 Toyota Camry
I bought a trailer hitch and wiring harness for a 2104 Camry. The delivery was fast and efficient. The hitch and wiring was as advertised and installed as the etrailer videos portrayed. The bottom trim panel did not need as much adjustment or cutting as expected. Only had to cut out a piece 2 inch wide by 12 inch long and the panel fit nicely.
Was easy to install. Took approximately 4 hours total due to not having a lift
to raise the car to a better working height.
I have bought previously from etrailer and always a pleasant experience.

2014 Toyota Camry
I am a 52 year old female 5 feet tall and 120 lbs and I installed this product on my 2014 Camry SE V6 with dual exhaust and I did it alone with the help of a 1/2 ton jack and some ramps. I used the jack to hold the exhaust and then to raise it back up to refasten it. This was so easy to do and I couldn’t be happier. I also installed the wiring to lights and ran it through the inside of vehicle and then through the firewall. Great product.
by: Wilfredo08/19/2022
So I installed this by myself except needed a pair of hands when lifting to screw the bolts. I used the your video and written instructions to do install. Instructions said it would take 1 hr. I took approx 3 hrs. Jack up car, prep, tools, and clean up metal shavings. Once installed it’s solid.

I just got my hitch installed on my 2014 Camry and it fits & looks perfect.
I also bought the Yakima Bike Rack and it fits the hitch perfectly.
Erika was very helpful and my items arrived in 3 days...

Hitch was well designed.
I appreciared the installatiob videos. Thanks!
I used a floor jack to raise the hitch (balanced) into place, after drilling appropriate holes.
I used Camry jack to raise the car.
Wiring system works fine after installation.

Installation process was just as described! Buy a step bit; it makes drilling the holes for the carriage bolts easy. Pictures show lowered exhaust by 1/2" and use with Kuat Beta

Overall this was a easy process. Great price and quick shipping. Videos on etrailer were very helpful. My only complaint is the stickers on the hitch. The weight label was poorly applied and really sticks out.

Very fast shipping thanks. The video helped out a lot for the install. Only problem was the box was damaged and the hitch was sticking through the box. The hitch was missing a little paint. Hope it doesn't rust. Hopefully etralier can secure the hitch in the packaging a little better in the future.
by: David10/08/2020
Installation was easy. Lucky for me on my 2012 Camry SE no trimming of any panel was necessary as the stock one that came on my camry only covered the spare tire compartment. I am the original owner so I can confirm this is the way it came.

Got this yesterday and put it on today myself with the help of the tutorial video specific for my vehicle. It is exactly what I need and for a fraction of the $300 the trailer rental place quoted me. Looks great too, thanks!

The installation of the hitch went very smoothly with the help of the videos included on the site (don’t expect much clear direction with the included instructions in the box). Fit up was extremely nice and the overall quality of the hitch exceeded my expectations.

Good product. Toughest part of installation was drilling the 2 big holes. No modifications were required.

The hardware works exactly as described. No doubt I would order from them again thank you!

See what our Experts say about this Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch
- Is Trimming of Lower Fascia of 2016 Toyota Camry Required for Hitch InstallTo install a hitch on your 2016 Toyota Camry you will be required to remove or trim the underbody panel as well as modify the heat shield slightly. I attached an install video that shows everything required to install this hitch on a 2016 Camry like yours. For a ball mount you would want the part # 36071 and the ball # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball. For trailer wiring you would then want the # 118405.
view full answer... - Is Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack Good Option for 2017 Toyota Camry and 2006 Toyota CorollaThe Swagman XTC3 part # S64670 that you referenced is a very popular bike rack because of how well it fits a variety of vehicles like your 2006 Toyota Corolla and 2017 Toyota Camry but also because it's a really great bike rack at a very reasonable price tag. My dad has had this bike rack for about 8 years now and he still really likes it. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well. You will need to have a hitch installed on both vehicles to allow the rack to...
view full answer... - Will Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 36540 Fit 2017 Toyota Camry HybridI checked with Draw-Tite and confirmed that the Draw-Tite Class II Frame Receiver Hitch # 36540 is confirmed to fit your Hybrid model of the 2017 Toyota Camry. There are no compatibility issues. This hitch will provide a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and a 300 pound tongue weight capacity. Keep in mind that the exhaust must be temporarily lowered during installation and some minor heat shield modification may be required. I have attached the installation details that you can look through.
view full answer... - What is Towing Capacity of 2014 Toyota Camry V6I looked up the towing capacity of your 2014 Toyota Camry with a V6 and it can tow up to 1,225 lbs so as long as the Tracker boat and trailer weighs less than that you'd be fine. You'll need a few things to complete your towing setup. First you'll need a hitch and for that I recommend the Draw Tite part # 36540 as it has plenty of towing capacity and has the shortest install time of the options available. I attached an install video as well. Then for trailer wiring the best option is...

- Is Fascia Trimming Required to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 2015 Toyota Avalon HybridDraw-Tite trailer hitch # 36540 fits all models of the 2015 Toyota Avalon including your hybrid. There is an underbody panel (not visible) that will have to be trimmed or removed to complete the hitch installation. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. Toyota does not have towing capacity information for hybrid models and may say outright that you cannot tow with he vehicle.

We offer several roof racks that will work for you. I recommend the Rhino-Rack roof rack, part # RR42MR.This roof rack features a vehicle specific fit kit that is designed to fit the contour of your roof. The roof rack has clamps that fit the door jambs and has custom crossbars that will match the width of your vehicle roof. The crossbars are aerodynamic elliptical...

With that said, we do have a few hitch options available for your car and the Curt # C12107 is a good one. This is American made and I included an install video for you to check out. However, this, as well as the Draw-Tite # 36540, are Class II hitches which means they have a 1-1/4" receiver. This is due to your 2012 Camry having...

The frames on these vehicles are different enough that a new hitch is required for the Camry. For this vehicle, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class II Frame Hitch Receiver # 36540. This hitch is confirmed to fit your 2014 Toyota Camry and it will provide you with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening perfect for hitch-mounted accessories like a bike rack...

Keep in mind you will need a bike rack which fits in a 1-1/4" receiver and is Class II compatible such as the Kuat Transfer # KU74FR. I've added a link to our selection of our bike racks that have a 1-1/4" shank for you to check out or if you let me what type of rack you are looking for I'd be happy to make a recommendation...
view full answer... - Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Toyota CamryBoth the Draw-Tite Hitches # 36540 and # 36514 will fit your 2014 Toyota Camry whether it is a hybrid or not. The two part numbers are the same hitch. Either would work well for you since they both will fit your vehicle. If you go with the # 36514 because you want the ball mount and the pin and clip you may also be interested in purchasing a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball part # 19256. I attached an install video for you to check out also.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Toyota CamryFor your 2015 Toyota Camry we have the Draw Tite hitch part # 36540 which is a confirmed fit and would work well. From the top of the hitch opening down to the ground when installed on a 2016 Toyota Camry this measured 11-3/4 inches. So it would be around 10 inches of total ground clearance.
view full answer... - Installing Receiver Hitch on 2014 Toyota Avalon HybridYou are correct, installing the Curt Class II Receiver Hitch, # C12107, on your 2014 Toyota Avalon Hybrid would require you to trim the heat shield and plastic underbody panel. Draw-Tite offers a custom fit hitch for your Avalon but according to the notes, installation would still require the trimming. I have attached the installation instructions for the Draw-Tite Hitch, # 36540, for you to take a look at.

This is the safest and most secure solution that is also the easiest to load. So first you need a hitch on your 2012 Toyota Camry like the Draw Tite part # 36540. Then for a 4 bike rack the Yakima Ridgeback part # Y02458 would be a really great option. It has cushioned frame cradles, can tilt and is overall a really high quality rack that's easy to use.

The trailer hitches we offer for your Avalon are all Class II trailer hitches with 1-1/4 inch receiver shanks.

It also does not say you can't. Ultimately, it is up to you whether or not you want to go ahead and tow a trailer, but we do not recommend going against what the manufacturer says. If you do plan on towing a trailer, I recommend checking with your local dealer first for clarity and also to see what the towing capacity of the vehicle is assuming there is one.

The distance between the bolt holes on these hitches are all different depending on their positions but they are: 38" apart center on center for holes closest to engine 38-1/4" apart center on center for holes closest to bumper 37-1/4" apart center on center for the middle holes I've also linked...

- Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2013 Toyota AvalonI will be happy to get you set up for a hitch and bike rack. For the 2013 Toyota Avalon, all of the available hitches, see link, are Class II hitches. The most popular hitch is currently Draw-Tite, # 36540. This hitch will not fit a hybrid model Avalon. I have incldued a link to the installation instructions. For a bike rack, the Swagman XTC2, # S64670, is one of the most popular platform style bike racks available. It would be a good choice for the vehicle, especially if you are looking...

This rack would use the # HL2 lock. It's much more likely that your Camry has a 1-1/4 inch receiver like the Curt # C12107 or the Draw-Tite # 36540. If that's the case, you'll want to use the # B202-114 which is compatible with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. For a locking hitch pin, use # HL1.

- Recommendation For Hitch on a 2012 Toyota CamryNormally on the Toyota Camry the owners manual will say that Toyota does not recommend towing a trailer with the vehicle. Also, on some they will also specify not to use a hitch and a hitch mounted accessory. Since some vehicles can still use a hitch with a hitch accessory is why the hitch manufacturers still will offer a hitch for the 2012 Toyota Camry. The hitches available for the 2012 Toyota Camry are all Class II hitches with a 300-lb tongue weight capacity. I am including a link...

Although I cannot recommend you tow a trailer with your Camry, a trailer hitch such as the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 36540 is perfectly capable of hauling rear mounted accessories such as a bike rack or cargo carrier.

This is a Class ll hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 300 lbs. The cargo carrier, part # C18110 would work well with this hitch as it weighs about 30 lbs.
