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.

The maximum gross trailer weight is 2000 lb. (908 kg) and the maximum tongue weight is 200 lb. (90.8 kg). However, you must not exceed the lower of your vehicle manufacturer's towing rating or these limits.
You will need: a ratchet, torque wrench, safety glasses, 7mm and 15mm sockets, 6'' socket extension, T15 star driver, utility knife, and marker. A torque wrench is essential because proper torque (53 Lb.-Ft. / 72 N·M) is required to keep the hitch secure.
Yes. The installation requires removal of the bumper fascia and bumper beam. The fascia is removed first using a 7mm socket to remove 4 bolts from the bottom and a T15 driver with 7mm socket to remove 4 bolts from the wheel well on each side. The bumper beam is then removed using a 15mm socket to remove 3 flange nuts from each side.
Raise the hitch and hang it on the studs on the end panel. Then raise the bumper beam to sandwich the hitch between the beam and the end panel. Reuse the existing bumper flange nuts and fasten them loosely at first. Do not tighten fully until all fasteners are in place.
All fasteners must be tightened to 53 Lb.-Ft. (72 N·M) using a torque wrench. Proper torque is essential to keep the hitch secure to the vehicle when towing.
Yes. You must trim the bottom fascia to create an opening for the hitch. Locate the center of the bottom panel and trim a 4.5'' tall by 3.5'' wide area. Use a utility knife for this trimming. Additional trimming may be necessary depending on your vehicle.
Yes. The installation instructions specify to reuse all fasteners from the bumper attachments. The existing bumper flange nuts are reused to secure the hitch.
Always wear safety glasses during installation. Observe safety precautions when working beneath the vehicle and wear eye protection. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. If the hitch is removed, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes.
No. Do not cut, weld, or modify this receiver. Doing so will compromise the structural integrity and safety of the hitch.
Check that all fasteners are tight and the hitch is securely mounted to the vehicle. The manual recommends checking the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. Proper torque of 53 Lb.-Ft. (72 N·M) is essential for safe towing.
The Drawbar Kit part number 3593 is available for use with the 24943 hitch. The drawbar must be used in the RISE position only. This kit is sold separately.
Load the trailer heavier in front. Always wear your seatbelt. Slow down when towing and never exceed any posted speed limit. Do not exceed the lower of your vehicle manufacturer's towing rating or 2000 lb. max gross trailer weight / 200 lb. max tongue weight. If excess sway occurs, take your foot off the gas pedal and hold the steering wheel as steady as possible. Do not apply your brakes and do not speed up.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual does not specify an exact interval, but recommends periodic checks to verify that all fasteners remain tight and the hitch is securely mounted to the vehicle.
A hitch or ball which has been damaged should be removed and replaced. Do not continue to use a damaged hitch, as it compromises safety.
The average installation time for professional installers is 80 minutes. If you do not feel comfortable performing this installation on your own or are in need of assistance, please contact a professional installer.
