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.
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.

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.I’m not impressed with the condition of the hitch I received from etrailer. I’ve ordered several hitches over the years for different vehicles but this one came scratched and chipped in various spots. It came in a box but no padding on it at all. On the face of the hitch receiver, there’s already a rust spot out of the box. Very disappointing.
This was purchased for our 2020 Nissan Pathfinder. The fit and alignment of this receiver was perfect for the vehicle. All of the hardware was provided and everything was of excellent quality. The installation was quick and easy and the instructions were well written and easy to understand. Having an extra pair of hands to help get things started and to line up the receiver will make it that much easier. Took less than an hour total to install. There was a few spots on the lower bumper that needed trimming which was accomplished with the use of a Dremel tool and some masking tape. Just take your time and mark the areas. This receiver is only used for a bike rack so there was no wiring involved or needed. We are extremely pleased with this and would definitely recommend to anyone needing a receiver.
The hitch was well packaged and only took a little longer than advertised for installation. The installation was straightforward. The instructions were on target and made the job go well. The hitch looks good as it sits tight to the bumper.
Easy installation and fits perfectly
Always great products and fast shipping and tech support is great if you have. Problem

Works great good solid hitch
Good sturdy hitch. Mounting holes didn't match up perfect with 2013 Pathfinder, but I made it work.
I purchased this trailer receiver for a Infinity QX60. the hitch lined up pretty good. I have had no issues
Hitch came quick and it was an easy installation. Looks great on the vehicle and was able to hook a 7 pin adaptor to the hitch. Looks real clean
My second trailer hitch from etrailer. Installed it again no problem. Thanks again.

Its been a year and still no problems. I use it mostly with our bike rack to bring our four bikes on trips. I never have to worry or even think about it, which is what I want or of a trailer hitch.

I gave this kit to my mechanic and he informed me the product was designed for and was an easy installation. We have had this on our vehicle for a year now and have used it frequently with no issues
Receiver Fit perfectly, it required removal of the OEM tow eye bracket, not needed after receiver is installed. Pushes up slightly on the bottom of rear plastic bumper. Bought 7 Pin Plug, harness and plug mounting bracket. Mounting bracket didn't match the DrawTite hitch mounting and required additional hole to be drilled compromising the sealed painted surface.

Additional mod was to mount rear gate sensor underneath the hitch receiver with wire ties and nylon spacer blocks. Sensor doesnt work when in contact with metal.
It fits and works so well. There was nothing wrong with the hitch. Just some of the bolts would not thread into the stock holes in the Nissan Pathfinder. After my two sons and I each tried for 30 min to get them to thread correctly we just used an impact wrench and screwed them home. It is solidly mounted. We use it daily with our 4 bike rack and it is awesome!
Hitch is ok- does the job. Biggest complaint is that the powder coating on the receiver is flaking away leaving RUST that is low on the outside, (not a good look!)as well as traveling inside the opening. The only thing I even use the hitch for is a hitch hauler which has been hooked up maybe 15 days total over the year. So... ok hitch- looked good for a minute.

To keep your hitch looking great and to help prevent the spread of rust, we recommend using a rust-inhibiting black spray paint to touch up any rust spots starting to develop on your trailer hitch. I have also linked a help article on rust prevention for your convenience.

When it is installed, it looks like it was meant to be there. It took three of us to get it in place and installed. Lining the mounting plates with the weld nuts was a little tricky. Once we finally got all six bolts started, the install was easier from there.
The install video on etrailer.com's website was a nice guide. It gave me confidence in believing I didn't have to hire out the install.

I have used a few different trailers over the past year and felt confident hauling each one. I have had no issues with this receiver. I am confident it will last for years to come.
Great price. Excellent item. The only issue is the item moved around alot in the package and got scrathced on the paint in a couple places. It's functionally good so won't worry about the scratches. (could use some touch up paint though)
Would do 5 stars if not for the paint damage.

Awe man, I hate it when it arrives like that. It is actually pretty common. Luckily, all you need is some rust-o-leum type of paint to cover up those scratches. I've sent your information over to our customer service department for them to look into some compensation for the cost of the paint. I also have a link attached with some information on the importance of covering the hitch to prevent corrosion.

High quality hitch receiver and easy to install. Did not have to trim anything on my Pathfinder. Fast shipping and excellent customer service (had an issue with the weld nuts on my vehicle being rusted, and customer service was very helpful).
Easiest hitch install imaginable. Working alone, it still only took me 30 minutes to get the hitch installed. I haven't done the wiring kit yet but expect it to take a little more time as I'll need to remove the trunk plastic.
Always my go-to for excellent product descriptions and very useful installation videos giving us DIY’s the confidence to tackle jobs based on their difficulty ratings and tutorials.
Competitive pricing as well.
Etrailer is doing business right.
5 stars.
It was easy to install on my car, Infiniti JX 35 and I use it for my bike rack. Just what I needed
Very easy to do business with etrailer. Receiver hitch was delivered earlier than expected. Installed easily after cleaning the threads on my vehicle. They were rusted and corroded from being exposed to road elements. I purchased the receiver to use with a bike rack and it holds the rack very securely. It is low profile enough that it doesn't stick out or reduce clearance. Also, did not have to worry about making any modifications to accommodate the receiver.
Excellent Price, Very easy install and perfect fit! The only issue was the trip to Harbor Freight for a 6 point socket to remove a tie down bracket on the left side of the frame that had to be removed for the install. It was awesomely tight!! Thanks, Bill
I ordered this for my 2015 QX60. Shipping took just over a week and everything arrived in good shape. I have to say, this is an awesome hitch with no drilling or bumper modification at all. My only comment would be is that the bolts used to mount the bumper are 19mm not 18mm as indicated in the instructions. The bolts I needed to remove the existing tie-down brackets were 18mm so maybe that's the confusion. I called the manufacturer and they confirmed the 19mm bolts.
I propped up one side to make it easier for a one-man install and tighted things down with a traditional ratchet before breaking out the torque wrench. Kudos to etrailer.com for providing a great DIY hitch at a great price. I'm already for tailgate season now!
Received the hitch on time and good condition (no box damage either). Waited a few days to install due to weather/heatwave in our area. My Infiniti QX60 sits low, so to compensate and get a good height to install, I just backed in and let the back tires sit on the edge of the garage entrance (sloped driveway helps). Started to remove the 4 bolts that holds the tow hook, but they were super tight! I almost gave up, but had an idea to use the torque wrench and it worked! Then, propped up the hitch with a small step stool and screwed in one bolt on right side, then one on the left. When all bolts were screwed in, I used a cordless impact wrench to just lightly tighten then bolts. And finally used the torque wrench to tighten them to specifications (76 ft-lbs). Very happy with the install and hitch looks great in my QX60!!
The trailer hitch arrived in 2 days with installation instructions and hardware. It is heavy-duty and should work perfectly. I have had good luck purchasing for e trailer in the past also.
Perfect fit for our 2017 Pathfinder.
Kudos to etrailer.com for the software on the back end that so accurately matches their products to specific year, make, model, and trim. Double kudos for all of the videos...
The reviews are great for showing the features of the products, answering questions before they're asked - way better than wading through FAQ's. And the installation videos... Wow! Walking through the installation videos is what made me decide to buy and DIY. I had thought of hitch installation as something that required drilling and cutting and welding. I had always thought "Take it to a place that does hitch installation, it's not a DIY project". After watching the video, I saw that, at least on our Pathfinder, it's quick, easy thing to do with the tools I've already got. It's installed and looks great. Thanks!
