Draw-Tite has designed custom-fit trailer hitches since 1946 and is one of North America's most widely fitted hitch brands. Receiver hitches use solid all-welded construction and low-profile designs that follow modern vehicle contours, install with minimal bumper cutting or drilling, meet or exceed V5 CSA and SAE J684 standards, and carry a limited lifetime warranty.
Draw-Tite has been leading custom-fit trailer hitch design and engineering since its founding in 1946, and it remains one of the most widely fitted hitch brands in North America. The company's stated approach is straightforward: every hitch is tested rigorously so that it performs well beyond published industry standards, a philosophy it markets as Tested Tough. It sits within the Horizon Global towing group alongside Reese, Fulton, Bulldog, Tekonsha, Bargman and Wesbar.
Custom fit is the defining characteristic. Rather than adapting a universal design, Draw-Tite engineers a trailer hitch for a specific make, model and model year, so it bolts to existing frame locations with minimal bumper cutting or drilling. Low-profile designs follow the rear contours and aerodynamic styling of modern vehicles, which matters more than it once did now that rear fascias are shaped and sensor-equipped. Construction is solid all-welded steel for maximum strength, and every hitch meets or exceeds V5 CSA and SAE J684 standards and is backed by a nationwide limited lifetime warranty.
The range spans receiver sizes and classes to suit different loads, from 1-1/4 inch receivers for bike racks, cargo carriers and light trailers up through 2 inch receivers for heavier towing. Front mount hitches add a receiver at the front of the vehicle for winch mounts, snow plows, spare carriers and precise trailer positioning.
The Hidden Hitch series takes concealment further by mounting behind the vehicle's rear fascia, so the vehicle keeps its factory appearance until a removable receiver is fitted. Each is custom designed per make and model for a no-drill installation that does not compromise ground clearance, rated for up to 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 350 pounds tongue weight. Matching plug-and-play wiring completes the towing system.

Yes, the Draw-tite Front Mount Hitch Receiver, 2-Inch Receiver, Black DT65052 (Part #DT65052) is designed to fit the 2007-2013 Chevrolet Avalanche.
The Draw-tite Front Mount Hitch Receiver, 2-Inch Receiver, Black DT65052 (Part #DT65052) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The 65052 is designed for GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon, Yukon XL 1500 and Chevy Silverado 1500, Tahoe, Suburban 1500, and Avalanche. However, you must consult your vehicle owner before installation, as air dam removal or trimming is necessary and the manual does not specify which models require removal versus trimming.
Yes. It is necessary to either remove the lower air dam or trim the plastic air dam to install this hitch. You must consult the vehicle owner before trimming. The manual does not specify which action applies to your particular vehicle model.
You will need 3/4" and 7/8" wrenches, a torque wrench, tape, marking chalk, and a tool to cut the plastic air dam. No drill bits are required. A torque wrench is essential because all 1/2" GR5 fasteners must be tightened to 75 Lb.-Ft (102 N-M).
The receiver includes: (3) 1/2"-13 X 2-1/4" carriage bolts, (3) 1/2" flat washers (as needed for gap), (3) 1/4" X 1-1/2" X 3" blocks with square hole, (3) 1/2" hex nuts, (5) 1/2" conical toothed washers, (3) 1/2" bolt leaders, and (6) 9/16" hardened flat washers. The manual references fastener kit 65052F but does not clarify whether it is included or must be purchased separately.
The teeth on the 1/2" conical toothed washers must be facing up. These washers are used with 9/16" hardened flat washers to fill the space in the large 1-1/4" diameter holes in the bottom of the frame inside the frame shoes.
Use the 1/2" bolt leaders to pull the 1/2" carriage bolts and blocks into the frame openings. Tape the washers to the bottom of the frame shoe before lifting the hitch into place. Put the end of the bolt leaders through the holes in the hitch before raising it into position. Note 1 suggests it may be easier to push the blocks into place over the holes before inserting the bolt leader through the frame.
Use 1/2" flat washers as needed between the hitch and the bottom of the cross member to fill the gap created by the splash shield. The number of washers required will depend on the gap size on your specific vehicle.
All 1/2" GR5 fasteners must be tightened with a torque wrench to 75 Lb.-Ft (102 N-M).
Do not exceed 500 lb cargo capacity or the truck front Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR), whichever is lower. The maximum winch line pull is 9,000 lb.
Wear eye protection at all times. Observe safety precautions when working beneath the vehicle. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. Consult the vehicle owner before trimming the air dam. If the hitch is removed, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual recommends regular inspection but does not specify an interval.
A hitch or ball which has been damaged should be removed and replaced. Do not attempt to repair a damaged receiver or ball.
No. The manual lists "Drill Bits: None" under Equipment Required. The receiver uses existing frame openings and does not require drilling.
