What Draw Bar Fits Draw-Tite Class I Hitch Part # 24812

Question:

I have 3 - 1 1/2 drawbars. How can I tell if they will fit in the #24812 hitch? Is there a measurement of the pin hole location for this hitch?

The Draw-Tite Class I hitch you were looking at, part # 24812 uses a 1-1/4 inch receiver. A class I hitch usually has a stop welded into the receiver tube or a detent punched into it to prevent a class II accessory from being used. If the draw bars you have were intended to be used in a class I hitch, they will work.

Keep in mind, Draw-Tite recommends only using the part # 3593 draw bar. If the draw bars that you have measure any longer than 1-1/2 inches from the center of the pin hole to the back end of the bar, it will not slide into the receiver far enough for the pin holes to line up.
