Draw-Tite 76004 Class 4 Trailer Hitch 2 in Receiver - Strong Tow

In this review of the Draw-Tite 76004 Class 4 Trailer Hitch the bottom line is straightforward: this is a heavy-duty, vehicle-specific receiver for drivers who need reliable towing on 2015-2022 Chevrolet Colorado or 2015-2022 GMC Canyon models. The reviewer found the hitch to be built from solid, all-welded steel with a protective two-part black powder coat, which translates to real-world durability and resistance to corrosion. For anyone hauling trailers, bikes, or cargo carriers and who values a precise fit and high rated capacity, this hitch is a practical choice.

Key Features

• Vehicle fit: Designed specifically for 2015-2022 Chevrolet Colorado and 2015-2022 GMC Canyon to provide a near-perfect factory-like fit.
• All-welded steel construction: Solid, all-welded steel construction gives the hitch the strength to handle routine towing and the abuse of heavy use.
• Protective finish: Two-part black powder coat resists rust and corrosion so the hitch maintains appearance and function in wet or salty conditions.
• Towing capacity: Rated for up to 8,000 lbs. GTW and 800 lbs. TW, making it suitable for boats, utility trailers, and many recreational loads.
• Tested to standards: Engineered and verified to meet or exceed V-5 and SAE J684 standards for peace of mind on safety and performance.
• Accessory compatibility: 2 in square receiver tube accepts standard bike racks, cargo carriers and other common hitch-mounted accessories.

Who It's For

This hitch is best for owners of 2015-2022 Chevrolet Colorado and 2015-2022 GMC Canyon who tow periodically or regularly and want a robust, long-lasting receiver that matches factory mounting points. It suits drivers hauling medium-duty trailers, small boats, campers, or using hitch-mounted cargo and recreational accessories.

It is less appropriate for drivers with vehicles outside the listed model years or other truck models, and those who need the lightest possible component for occasional, very light loads might find a lower-capacity receiver more economical.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid all-welded steel build gives a beefy, confidence-inspiring feel under load.
• High rated capacities (8,000 lbs. GTW, 800 lbs. TW) cover most common towing needs for mid-size pickups.
• Two-part powder coat helps prevent rust and keeps the hitch usable long term.
• Custom-built to vehicle specs for a near-exact fit when holes align correctly.

Cons

• Hole accuracy received mixed reports from some installers, so minor drilling or adjustments may be required occasionally.
• Paint chipping has been reported by a few users under heavy use, though the finish is generally protective.
