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.

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.The hitch was very well packaged. Came in a box that was easy to carry. It also fit perfectly on my vehicle. Very pleased with the price and quality of the product.
Excellent fit, good price. Took about an hour to install and I was able to only drop one side of muffler supports to get it up in place. The bad was crappy packaging! One side of the mount was through the box and it looked like FedEx had to retape it. I painted the worn off parts but they can do better in my opinion.
Perfect fit, installed myself. It requires a little wedging and patience but once it’s on, you use a torque wrench for precise tightening to specs and my mind was at fully at ease. Great product
This hitch was a perfect fit. I use it for a cargo carrier and a bike rack. The instructions made it easy and were very well written. I would definitely recommend the hitch for anyone that wants to install on an Acura RDX.
I have ordered four hitch receivers from e-Trailers and this is the first disappointment. Box arrived with obvious protrusions of the hitch mounting brackets that penetrated the shipping box. The brackets should have been protected with styrofoam or similar to prevent breakthrough. It appeared that the box was dropped or dragged on cement, based on how much the metal was torn up. The result was the main brackets were significantly damaged, with raw edges that could not be handled without gloves due to the jagged edges and burrs. This also meant the protective enamel coating was scraped off.
I ended up hand grinding the edges on both brackets and then filing smooth so I could handle without cutting my hands, and then hand painting them with Rustoleum, for rust prevention.
This could have been totally avoided with proper packing and shipping. Picture of box are attached.

Sorry to hear about all the extra work that you had to do to prep your hitch receiver. Customer Service will contact you about this.
Quality trailer hitch and excellent fit. Would recommend etrailer for excellent service and fast delivery.
The worst part of the installation was lowering my exhaust system. Took a little longer laying on my back on the garage floor.

After 1 year of using my hitch it is in excellent condition with no noticeable rust or wear. It is still the best hitch I have ever owned. Zero problems. Highly recommend this product.
I’m sure the hitch is quality, but your packaging needs some serious review. The hitch is poking through both sides of the box in 4 places — Possibly some extra cardboard around the sharp points on the hitch would provide more cushion? I’m sure I’m not the first person to experience this problem. I just hope the paint chips don’t end up rusting under the car.

Customer service will be reaching out to you. I would spray paint those chips with anti-corrosive black spray paint. Attached are more rust prevention tips:

I bought this hitch and SARIS bike rack from etrailer so I could mount two bikes on my 2019 Acura RDX. I had a local muffler shop install the hitch, as I didn't have proper tools. it took them 30 mins and $95. Hitch is solid! Looking forward to many years of adventuring! Many thanks, etrailer!
Love etrailer for vehicle specific hardware and loads of information. The installation of the trailer hitch went pretty well on my 2020 RDX. The most difficult part for me was to undo the exhaust system mounts to lower the exhaust and then to re-attach them. It helps tremendously to spray silicon on the rubber mounts before removing them.
This product is awesome! The install was easy! Tip, you don’t need to remove the exhausts. I just removed the rear lower diffuser and entered the hitch posteriorly into the undercarriage. It’s was so simple. The build quality on this hitch is top notch. I plan on using this hitch for a 218 lbs dirt bike carrier. Def recommend! Instal time : 45mins
Excellent hitch for my 2019 Acura RDX. While the RDX can only tow up to 1500 pounds (with 150 pound tongue weight), I opted for the more powerful hitch for safety/quality since I plan to haul electric bikes on a heavy-duty bike rack. Great purchase.
Good quality, has worked as needed, would come back to trailer again.
The ordering and delivery process was professional and efficient.
It's a bit on the pricier side but then again it's for a 2020 model vehicle.
The shop that I went to was able to complete installation within 20 minutes.

A solid purchase
After a recommendation from Greg M, I purchased this Hitch for my Allen Deluxe 4 Bike Hanging rack to replace a 1 1/4" Class I Acura OEM hitch. Exactly what I needed for my 2019 Acura RDX.
Great product. Fits perfectly beneath the rear diffuser of the A-Spec. Installation was on par with what I expected. After removing the exhaust from the rubber hangers it still only gave a small amount of space to maneuver the hitch into place. It is a very snug fit. It does stick out farther than I expected but not enough to be concerning. Looks great and will soon be mated to a Yakima HoldUp. Im very happy with it and it shipped incredibly quickly. I placed my order late in the evening and had a shipping notification by the time I woke up.
Looks great and works well as advertised

Has handled Chicago winters and several trips to Ohio, NE, and AR well. Best compliment is other RDX owners realize how nicely it looks and versatility

Installed for future use of a bike rack. Fit was perfect and no need to modify anything on my 2020 RDX A-Spec! It does stick out a little (Approx 1-2"), but not enough to affect access to cargo area.
Just as advertised: great product, very easy to install, following very good specific guidances...
Very Happy!!
The box that the trailer hitch came in was ripped in 3-4 sections wit the bare scratched steel was exposed and left at ft door without any notification or anything. Half a__ way to ship something. Pay attention to the way your company box’s and ships products.. The product attached as designed with all the bolts, but loose in the packaging.
Fits as it should. Box is pretty beat up though, needs more packaging.
I couldn't be more disappointed in seeing my boxed hitch upon delivery. The hitch was poking thru multiple holes, with the black finish scraped off. Don't you folks secure the hitch in the box? Am still deciding if I'm going to keep it.

Im sorry to see that your hitch has received some scratches on it due to shipping. This does tend to happen and when it does, we recommend using a Rust-oleum type paint to cover up any scratches and prevent corrosion in the future during use. I have a link below for your reference. I have also sent this information over to our Customer Service Department for them to get into contact with you.
Great solid hitch for my Yakima bike rack. Easy diy install on my 2019 Acura RDX after I figured it out on my own. The only issue was with the install directions. The included directions, as well as everything I found online, showed having to remove the spare tire and move the exhaust system out of the way to get the hitch into position to bolt it in. I worked for about an hour trying to move the exhaust as per the instructions while still not making enough room to get the hitch into position without damaging the exhaust system. Finally I figured out all that needs to be done on the RDX is to remove the spare tire and a small piece of trim at the bottom of the rear bumper. The trim piece is held in place by 2 clips and 2 screws. With the piece out of the way the hitch can be easily be positioned around the exhaust to be bolted in place. 20 minute install that way!
After an exhaustive search for a hitch to fit my late model car and bike rack (specific pin-hole depth), I came across etrailer, convinced they would tell me there wasn’t a hitch on the market which would fit. (I contacted 5 other businesses who said either my car was too new and lacked measurements or they didn’t have one to fit the pin-hole depth for my hitch-mounted bike rack). I’m so glad I called etrailer; I spoke to an awesome rep, Jason, and not only did he find a hitch to match my needs but guaranteed the fit or he would refund my money PLUS return postage! Jason was super helpful, patient, professional and went above and beyond. The hitch works great and I’m able to transport my mountain bikes no problem. Thank you Jason! I highly recommend etrailer.
The hitch we purchased is a little tricky to install because of disconnecting the rubber holders of both mufflers on our RDX, just take your time. Also, it is very easy to scratch the paint off during installation, I touched it up so it would not rust. Overall a quality product after one year.
Fits perfectly on my Acura RDX 2022! Arrived fast and installer had no problems. A year later, still good as new!

One year later and still perfect. I added the wiring kit to be able to pull a small trailer with lights and that was just as easy to install as the hitch.
