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 Draw-tite Class 1 Trailer Hitch, 1-1/4" Square Receiver, Black for Select Mazda CX-3 24933 (Part #DT24933) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, the 24933 hitch is designed for 2015-current Mazda CX-3 models. However, the manual recommends visiting the Cequent website for the most up-to-date information regarding specific application years and trim levels, as compatibility may vary.
The maximum gross trailer weight is 2000 lb. (908 kg) and the maximum tongue weight is 200 lb. (90 kg). However, you must not exceed the lower of your vehicle manufacturer's towing rating or these limits. The 24933 is a weight-carrying hitch only; weight-distributing capability is not available (marked N/A in the manual).
You will need: a ratchet, a torque wrench, safety glasses, sockets in 17 mm and 7/8" sizes, a 6" socket extension, a universal joint socket wrench, and lubricant or soapy water. A torque wrench is essential because proper torque specification is critical to keep the hitch secure during towing.
Yes. The manual recommends raising the vehicle on ramps or a hoist to make installation easier. You must ensure the vehicle is blocked in place and that it is safe to work underneath. Always observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle.
Yes. Step 1 requires you to lower the exhaust system at the rubber isolator. Spraying lubricant on the metal hanger rod and rubber isolator helps with removal. After the hitch is installed and torqued, you must raise the exhaust back into position on the exhaust hangers in step 7. Support the exhaust to prevent damage during removal.
You must remove four lower M10 bumper nuts: 2 on the passenger side and 2 on the driver side. These nuts are then reinstalled finger-tight when raising the hitch into position using the 4 weld studs. These same M10 fasteners are later torqued to 55 Lb.-Ft. (75 N·M).
The fastener kit (24933F) includes: 1 carriage bolt ½-13 x 1.75 GR8, 1 spacer .250 x 1 x 2, 1 spacer .313 x 1 x 1.5, 1 conical washer ½", 1 hex nut ½-13 GR2, and 4 flat washers 3/8". These are installed loosely in step 5 and then torqued to specification in step 6. The 4 existing M10 bumper nuts are reused.
In step 3, place one 3/8" flat washer onto each stud on the end panel (4 places total). These washers are part of the connection between the hitch and the vehicle's end panels.
All M10 fasteners must be tightened to 55 Lb.-Ft. (75 N·M) using a torque wrench. This includes the four lower bumper nuts that are removed and reinstalled during installation. Proper torque is essential to keep the hitch secure to the vehicle when towing.
All 1/2 GR8 fasteners must be tightened to 110 Lb.-Ft. (149 N·M) using a torque wrench. These fasteners are part of the tie-down hook assembly. Proper torque is essential to keep the hitch secure to the vehicle when towing.
No. Step 4 requires you to install the four M10 nuts finger-tight after raising the hitch into position. Step 5 requires you to loosely install the remaining fasteners (items 1 through 5) to the tie-down hook. Only in step 6 do you tighten all fasteners to their final torque specifications using a torque wrench.
No. The tie-down hook is sold separately. The manual shows it in the installation diagrams but notes "(Sold separately)" in Figure 1. The fasteners for attaching the tie-down hook are included in the fastener kit (24933F).
The drawbar kit 3593 is referenced in the manual but not described in detail. The manual states that the drawbar must be used in the RISE position only. The manual does not explicitly state whether the drawbar is required or optional, so you should contact Cequent at 800-632-3290 or TechnicalSupport@cequentgroup.com for clarification.
Yes. The manual notes that access to torque the 4 bumper bracket nuts may require loosening of the lower bumper fascia. If you need to loosen the fascia, you must replace all fasteners and components after torquing them to specification.
Yes. The manual notes that it may be useful to use a deep well socket to tighten the flange nuts, as this can improve access to the fasteners.
Always wear safety glasses when installing the hitch. Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. Ensure the vehicle is blocked in place and that it is safe to be underneath. Support the exhaust system to prevent damage during removal. The manual emphasizes that proper torque is needed to keep the hitch secure during towing.
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. Slow down when towing and never exceed any posted speed limit.
Load the trailer heavier in front. This helps with stability and proper weight distribution. Do not exceed the maximum tongue weight of 200 lb. (90 kg) or the maximum gross trailer weight of 2000 lb. (908 kg), whichever is lower than your vehicle manufacturer's rating.
Check that all fasteners are tight and the hitch is securely mounted to your vehicle. The manual recommends checking the hitch frequently, making sure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. Proper torque is essential to keep the hitch secure during towing.
The manual recommends checking the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. It does not specify an exact interval, so periodic inspection before and after towing is advisable to maintain safety.
A hitch or ball which has been damaged should be removed and replaced. Do not attempt to repair a damaged hitch. If the hitch is removed, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes.
If the hitch is removed, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes. This protects the vehicle's interior and prevents corrosion.
No. The 24933 hitch uses existing weld studs on the vehicle and existing M10 bumper nuts. No drilling is required for installation. However, the manual warns: do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch.
No. The manual explicitly states: DO NOT cut, weld or modify this receiver. Doing so may compromise the structural integrity and safety of the hitch.

M10 fasteners: 55 Lb.-Ft. (75 N·M). 1/2 GR8 fasteners: 110 Lb.-Ft. (149 N·M). Use a torque wrench for all fasteners.
