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.

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

Universal-fit trailer hitch fits heavy-duty and commercial vehicles with frames up to 44". Draw-Tite's Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry standards. Weld-on mounting brackets sold separately.by: Crafty Mechanic08/29/2023
I used the cross tube to build my own custom hitch behind a hitch. This is a quality product and worked well for my custom build. Closest to my RV, in the main receiver, I carry my motorcycle. I used this to mount a bike rack behind the motorcycle carrier. For custom builds like this, the cross tube is a perfect product to build around. I mounted this to my support rails using grade 8 bolts, this way I can break it down easily and store it at camp or at home. The cross tube is quality steel and has good welds. Class V was more than I needed, but this was the best option for my project.

Bought this hitch for a custom application. WAY OVERKILL for what I needed but better to over engineer it than under. This baby is capable of towing 16000 lbs with a tongue weight of 1600 lbs. I will never tow more than the 5000 lbs my coach is rated for but I needed it to extend out and be a bit lower than the standard hitch to carry my KLR 650 on a rack which comes in at about 525 lbs.

This worked perfectly for my school bus.

awesome quality and quick delivery during the holiday season nonetheless!
by: Troy09/25/2022
I cut and installed this hitch on my 2002 E450 with bolts and welded as well. Very pleased with it.

Company was great with helping me find the right hitch for our church bus. We have been very pleased with the quality of the hitch! We pull a 12' loaded trailer to south Texas each year and the hitch performs great. Thanks for all your help!
by: Robert11/15/2019
Etrailer's part of this purchase was great. Shipped quickly and well packaged. The problem was with the manufacturer ... Draw-Tite. The hitch is great except for one thing ... the stickers look like a drunk slapped them on. It may sound trivial ... but I have spent countless hours building a custom expedition vehicle I am proud of. I now have to remove them because they look like crap.

Your expedition vehicle sounds awesome! There is one sticker on the hitch that lists the towing and tongue weight capacities. If possible, I recommend leaving that sticker attached for safety reasons.

Extremely strong and heavy duty hitch
by: KerryG02/18/2014
The product was in stock, delivered in a timely manner, and exactly as advertised. E-Trailer even upgraded the delivery at no extra charge. The hitch has a Made in Mexico sticker. The welds look good; much better than welds on most Chinese import goods. Very pleased.

This weld-on receiver was the perfect choice for adding a receiver to our tandem dump truck. I couldn't be happier!
by: Dan 02/19/2021
Product is great, shipping was as expected with a winter storm impacting it. Product arrived hanging outside the box with one end filled with mud from being dropped by the delivery man. Typical for the shippers in this area but the packaging for this heavy of an item could have been better. This is the reason for 4 and not 5 stars. Product deserves 5 stars, shipping probably 2.

Great product. But even better Sevice from etrailer as usual. Always a great buying experience.

- Receiver Mount for Trailer Needed To Operate a 12,000LB WinchI have a recommendation for you as the Bulldog Winch Hitch Mount Storage Bracket # BDW20154 is only designed to hold a winch when not in use. It does not have the structure required to operate a winch. For a 12,000LB Winch # BDW10040 you will need a receiver like the Draw-tite # 41990 to have enough strength for the winch to operate at full load. This receiver would need to be tied into the trailer frame to secure it.

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 22 Passenger Bus Built on a 2002 Ford E-450 Van ChassisThere are no confirmed trailer hitch fits for the E-450 cutaways but I do have a solution that could work for you. You can use a weld-on heavy duty truck hitch # 41990. Then you can use 7 inch brackets # 4907, or 16 inch brackets # 4916. This requires a qualified professional welder for installation. For a wiring harness you could use universal harness # 118344. This is a powered wiring harness meaning it gets the power for the trailer lights form the vehicle battery. This helps protect...
view full answer... - Hitch Recommendation for a 1993 Dodge Roadtrek Camper VanI spoke to my contacts at Curt and Reese and the only styles of hitches that can be made to fit a camper van like yours are multi-fit hitches like the # 41990 that has a 16k capacity. This is a weld on hitch that would require either the 7 inch drop brackets part # 4907 or the 16 inch brackets part # 4916.

This is a weld on hitch that would require either the 7 inch drop brackets part # 4907 or the 16 inch brackets part # 4916.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch for 2015 Ford E-350 CutawayTo use the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Cross Tube # 41990 on your 2015 Ford E-350 Cutaway you are going to need to measure to determine if you need the 7" Weld-On Bracket Kit # 4907 or 16" Weld-On Bracket Kit # 4916 because this hitch is not designed for one specific vehicle. Simply measure from the top of the frame on your E-350 to the bottom of the bumper. If you need less than 5-9/16" to clear the bumper you will use 7" brackets # 4907; if you need less than 14-3/8"...

I spoke with my contact at Draw-Tite and he said that the top and bottom portions of the crosstube are identical in terms of construction/steel thickness so this won't be an issue at all. You will just want to make sure that with it mounted in this orientation on your vehicle that you will still have access to the safety chain loops so you can easily attach the chains.
