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.

I am pleased with this hitch. It does what its supposed to. The mounting of it was easy even after a few beers. I use a hitch basket with two 55qt coolers strapped down to it. It doesnt move, its very sturdy. The hitch doesnt stick out so its very shin/knee friendly. Pretty awesome. No compaints.

Installing this was far less painful than I had imagined. For one, the video is extremely helpful. I just watched it until I needed to pause it, and that was really great. It took me about 2.5 hours to get this installed, but that's only because I was by myself and had never done anything like this before. There were three things that I found difficult: the hardest part was getting the push pins back into their respective places (make sure you don't break them when you're removing them), my dremel kept acting up so it took a while to cut the proper sized opening on the bottom of the fascia, and I couldn't figure out how to get one clip into place to snap the bumper back into place. But if you'll notice, those things have NOTHING to do with the trailer hitch! Putting the trailer hitch on was seamless and so easy as far as I'm concerned. I haven't towed anything with it yet but I'm soooo looking forward to it! You can see all the tools I used to install the hitch in one of my review pictures. It's not a lot of tools, which I think is awesome! Some tricks I used to make the installation even easier: 1) taping the lights up with electrical tape once I removed the brake light covers to keep them out of the way, 2) putting the bumper fascia on two folding chairs to keep it off the floor, 3) I didn't have a ratchet screw driver to get the bottom screw off of the mudflap, so I used a drill bit and a wrench, which worked pretty well, 4) I kept the push pins and screws near where I took them off of the car so I would remember which parts went back where.
All in all, a pretty painless installation for a complete newbie at this kind of thing, and I love the way it looks.
by: Mark07/12/2023
The hitch arrived on time and in perfect condition, having been well packed. The video instructions and PDF annotated online instructions made the installation process easy! A friend helped me, which made it even easier as we bounced back and forth with what we found best as we went removing each of the clips and parts and so on, but nothing was difficult. The reason I wanted this hitch was to support a hitch-mounted bike rack that this friend sold me when he upgraded to a much larger rack for his truck. I've also ordered a hitch-mounted 500lb cargo carrier basket and matching bag for distant camping trips this year. I'm really excited now that I'll be able to rent a trailer and help my family with upcoming house moving. The new hitch looks sleek and perfect!

As always I am very happy with the prompt service and shipping as well the quality of the product. My only disappointment is, I chose this Draw Tite hitch because it had the extra hole for the J-Pin (anti rattle device). Mine did not come with it. That was a let down
by: Vino07/15/2023
The video was very helpful and straight forward. completed the Hitch installation in 1hr 30mins, referring to the video during each step, since this was a DIY install. very happy and proud of this project because a did not break or loose in parts and saved expensive labor costs. Waiting for the new Hitch mount bike rack to arrive. thank you eTrailer staff.

We bought this for our Subaru Outback to carry the Kuat Transfer v2 bike rack, also purchased from etrailer.com. These two work together great! We had the hitch installed by our local mechanic, who did a fine job. This hitch looks nice on the car and clears our steep curb out front with no problem.

I purchased the Draw-Tite Max Frame Hitch Receiver for my 2017 Subaru Outback. The people at Etrailer were great to deal with and helped me to make my choice in purchasing the correct hitch receiver for my Outback. I wanted a hitch that was like a custom fit and the Draw-Tite Max is the one. The instructions were easy to understand and it took about an hour to install. The service from Etrailer was great and they were always there to help me with my questions. I also purchased the Hopkins Plug in simple wiring harness which was very easy to install.

Rugged enough to transport our heavy e-bikes. Love the locking feature for a no worry adventure. And love the simple design that allows dirt to fall thru rather than get caught up on platforms or wheel cradles like other designs. I’d highly recommend this rack.
by: Pat06/21/2023
This is an excellent hitch receiver. Because of the design, it is mostly out of sight. The only thing visible is the receiver portion. I use it primarily for a bicycle rack. I haven't used it on a camper, but I'm sure it would be great.
by: NPK03/12/2024
Hitch mount fit the car as specified. The mounting directions (and accompanying youtube videos) were very helpful; follow them exactly as directed. I have used it for hauling bikes on a rack a number of times over the past year.
by: Tom from the North Country08/30/2021
1. I ordered the Draw-Tite hitch from etrailer based on the added feature of the extra set of pin holes for the stabilization pin. The hitch I received and installed did not have the extra pin holes. See pictures below. Unfortunately I didn’t’ realize this until I completed the installation. The packaging and instructions had the correct item number. But to tell you the truth I don’t know what I received…. Emailed customer service but the person who replied back was clueless… I am now shopping for a cargo rack but will most likely buy from that tool store in the northern part of the country.
2. Like others measure twice, cut once. I didn’t need to cut the center hole on the bottom of the fascia.. Used two zip ties to attach it since I couldn’t line up the hole sufficiently for the push pin.

Hi Tom, Thanks for your feedback! Draw-Tite updated their hitches and no longer have the second hole for the J-pin.

The hitch was very easy to install on my 2019 Outback utilizing the video and instructions that came with it. I also installed the Curt wiring harness and I installed everything and was done and completely picked up in less than 3 hours.

The trailer hitch is built Rock Solid. It will most likely Outlast my car. Excellent product fairly easy installation.

2014 Subaru Outback Wagon
I chose this receiver because of the excellent video comparing it to 4 other options with pros and cons of each. Then I bought it from etrailer because they linked a very good installation video to it, as well as the other receivers in they presented. Then I bought a wiring kit because they had a video about that as well, it also compared several wiring harnesses and made a suggestion of the best one, which was not the most expensive either. I will be installing it with the help of another great how-to video on that.
by: Charles07/23/2023
Exactly what I wanted! Very informative website, prompt shipping and A-1 customer service. Wish I had another vehicle to order another one of these. I'll go check with my wife, but it might be awhile. :)

2013 Subaru Outback Wagon
Well made. Easy install of the hitch. Most difficult part was dealing with the pus pin retainers and pulling the fascia back to the wheel well. Watch the video. It was very well done. The written instructions were lacking to say the least.
by: Christopher03/02/2024
This was much easier than I expected. It was more work to get the back bumper cover off than to put this on - once I unbolted the rear bumper. It all went back together well. I used a serrated knife to shave the bumper pad down to fit better. Between the supplied video and youtube, this isn't bad if you're somewhat mechanically inclined. Very well worth the effort since the fit and finish is top notch. Thanks!

The hitch installation went as described and illustrated on the installation video. It looks nice.
by: Mike01/27/2024
Appears to be sturdy.
Mounting holes don't match up nicely. Some finesse and bolt scrape to put it on. Due to thickness of hitch mounting plate, the bumper cover doesn't quite line up with all clips for snapping in to place. I noticed that someone mentioned leaving the foam block off to allow proper fitment of cover. ? Not sure everything is going to stay attached. We'll see.
by: Blane03/24/2024
The item arrived on time, but appears to have been damaged during shipping. The powder coating was chipped off of two rounded corners.
Unit installs easily and exactly as described with minimal tools. etrailer website is a great resource for install tips.
by: Ron W11/01/2023
Great product at a good price. This is my 3rd hitch from Etrailer - for my wife's and two sons' Subarus. I would buy from Etrailer again if I need another hitch. Bonus - clear-speaking customer support agents, good instructions come with the product, and even better instructional videos on the website. They even have videos about this versus that hitch, as usually you'll have options. This is how you do business.
by: Mike10/26/2021
The instructional video was excellent. I just followed it to a T and had no issues. Just be careful with the plastic rivets, especially if you don't have a plastic clip removal tool (as I didn't). The measurement and Dremel cutout part was as easy as it gets.

Absolutely the best hitch for my Subaru Outback. Everything that was needed was included in the package and it arrived safely and fast. This hitch looks really good considering that my car is not really a large vehicle. The price was right and I definitely would recommend this hitch to a friend, which is exactly what I did. eTrailer is the place to get your hitch!!

After a year of use, my hitch is working perfectly. Absolutely tight and solid because it was a perfect fit. Dont waste your time looking elsewhere for your hitch. This place sells the right one and at a great price. If you need a hitch, check out etrailer first.

2013 Subaru Outback Wagon
I ordered my hitch and got it just 4 days later. I backed the car into the barn out of the sun at 9:45 and had the hitch installed and the car back on the road by 11:30 by myself. The hardest part was getting the clug clips out because of the dust and mud. Putting the bumper cover back on was time consuming, too, but I wanted to make sure everything fit correctly. I even located and replaced a missing plug to make sure all holes were filled. Installing the Tekonsha wiring harness went as per instructions, except I had to remove one cargo hook to allow the fender cover to lift enough to gain access to the vehicle harness. I ran the trailer plug under the interior padding and under the door gasket and will secure it to the hitch receiver with tie wraps. Looks good on my 2013 Outback 3.6R imited (don't mind the dust from the barn floor).

We dont tow often, but this hitch allows us the flexibility to tow a small trailer and UTV when we need to go outside the county. It is an excellent investment and does not hang out in the way.
by: Cesar06/25/2021
2019 Subaru Outback Wagon
Went with the drawtite. Best value in my opinion..the eco hitch would have been my choice(I just think it looks a bit cooler and sits more at a factory height tow hitch..about an inch difference from the draw tite and eco hitch) but the drawtite looks super clean once installed!
It’s not a hard install and requires basic minimus tools. The video is real helpful. Tow infinity and beyond!

- Will the Thule Apex XT Work On a 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon with Factory HitchIn order to use the Thule Apex XT 2 Bike Rack part # TH9024XT on a 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon I must recommend you replace the factory trailer hitch. The factory trailer hitch is notorious for having an extremely shallow hitch pin hole which then creates an issue for most bikes racks. The majority of bike racks will not work with this factory trailer hitch so your best option is a full replacement. I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75673 or the Draw-Tite...

Therefore, if there was a short on the trailer wiring harness and or trailer the vehicle would be protected. I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118467 which offers a plug and play install. This is also our most reliable option we have for your Outback.

- Best Trailer Hitch for 2018 Subaru Outback WagonFor your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch # 76227. This is because unlike most of the other Class III hitches available for your vehicle, this unit features a hidden design where only the receiver portion is visible beneath the rear bumper of the vehicle.

As you can see by the accompanying photos customers sent in of this hitch installed on a 2011 and 2012 Subaru Outback, the receiver portion of the hitch protrudes so there is no issue whatsoever with bumper clearance, allowing you to use the full capabilities of the Kuat Transfer bike rack.

- Least Visible Trailer Hitch for 2019 Subaru Outback WagonThere are two trailer hitches that fit your 2019 Subaru Outback wagon and are completely hidden with no part of the crosstube visible: the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 76227 and the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch # 306-X7601. Of the two I recommend the Draw-Tite because of its 600 lb tongue weight capacity, which is superior to the 525 lb capacity of the EcoHitch, and because of Draw-Tite's long-standing reputation for making high-quality trailer hitches. The Draw-Tite # 76227 is a Class III...

- Best Looking Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Subaru Outback WagonFor your 2018 Subaru Outback wagon the hitch I recommend is the Draw Tite part # 76227 because it has great towing capacities, has a 2 inch opening (most popular size), and because it has a concealed crosstube which means once installed most of it won't be visible which will give you a nicer look than some of the other options. See attached picture to see what I mean. You'll also need trailer wiring which for that I recommend the Tekonsha kit part # 118467 because it installs without...

The Draw-Tite is a concealed cross tube design so the only portion of the hitch that is visible once installed is the receiver.

- Comparing Class III Trailer Hitches for 2018 Subaru Outback WagonWe do indeed have a nice selection of Class III trailer hitches available that are confirmed to fit your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon.

Both of these hitches are a fit for a 2019 Subaru Outback, will give you a concealed crosstube, are no-drill installations, and have a 2 inch receiver for compatibility with many different accessories.

When we installed this hitch on a '19 Outback Wagon we found that from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest edge of the bumper measured 2".

For your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon you will want to use the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75673 which is a custom fit that installs using pre-drilled holes in the frame rail.

The front frame and suspension is not designed for the additional cargo weight and stability required to add a front mounted hitch receiver.

The # 76227 installs using the factory hardware already on your Outback, and it is 100 percent enough to secure it to your vehicle. This is a nice choice for a hitch as it has a totally concealed crosstube, allowing your Outback to maintain its clean aesthetic.

This being said, I'd always choose the Curt because it's a US made hitch and by a slight margin, they do a better job on their powder coat than Draw-Tite does. Either of the two hitches you mentioned would work perfectly with a Kuat NV 2.0 bike rack like part # NV22G. To equip your Subaru Outback...

A vehicle's tongue weight capacity is usually just 10 percent of its towing capacity, but there are certain instances like on your Subaru Outback where this is not the case. I am not...
view full answer... - Where to Mount Wiring on Trailer Hitch for 2018 Subaru OutbackThere is a way for you to mount trailer wiring if you were using a brake controller on your 2018 Subaru Outback if you are installing a trailer hitch with a hidden cross tube such as the Draw-Tite # 76227 or EcoHitch # 306-X7601. The 4-way harness you use, such as the T-One # 118467 that fits your '18 Outback, is going to have to come out of your hatch but you could then attach it to the safety chain rings.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for Towing Rental Trailer With 2018 Subaru OutbackWe do indeed offer a trailer wiring harness for the 2018 Subaru Outback. I'd recommend the Tekonsha # 118467 which is a confirmed fit for your Outback, as you can see in the linked installation video. U-Haul trailers will typically use a surge coupler that uses the trailer's inertia when the tow vehicle brakes to apply the trailer brakes, so you will not need a brake controller. When the vehicle brakes the surge coupler will compress which is effect just like pressing a brake pedal.
view full answer... - Why Can't Weight Distribution System be Used with Draw-Tite Hitch on 2015 Subaru OutbackThe reason the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76227 is not rated for use with weight distribution systems is likely the design of your 2015 Subaru Outback. Weight distribution applies different forces to your hitch with the spring bars which may be too much for some vehicles or hitches to handle, and could potentially cause damage and unsafe conditions. This would explain why there are no hitches available for your vehicle that are rated for weight distribution. I would also...

Between the two I really prefer the hitch racks as you get a much more secure attachment and it doesn't touch the vehicle paint which prevents potential for damage. If you had a hitch installed like the Draw Tite # 76227 that fits your vehicle...
view full answer... - Weight Rating For Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver On a 2015 Subaru Outback The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76227 is rated for a maximum trailer capacity of 4,000lbs with a tongue weight of 600lbs. To verify your exact tow rating from Subaru you will need to contact a local Subaru dealer with your VIN number so that they can give you your exact capacity based on your 2015 Subaru Outback 2.5L. The Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118467 will give you a 4-way flat connector for the taillights on the trailer. It is a plug and play harness

The reason for that is, when we installed this hitch on a 2017 Outback, we found it measured 3 inches from the hitch pin hole to the edge of the bumper, and the Camber measures 7 inches from the hitch pin to the closest part of the rack, so you'll have plenty of room for the rack to fit without any interference.
