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, part numbers 24949, 77949, and CQT24949 are designed for 2015-current Volkswagen Golf and Sportwagen models. Visit the manufacturer's website for the most up-to-date information regarding specific application years and trim levels.
The 24949 is a weight-carrying hitch with a maximum gross trailer weight of 2000 lb. (908 kg) and a maximum tongue weight of 200 lb. (90 kg). Do not exceed the lower of your towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or these limits.
Required tools include: ratchet, torque wrench, safety glasses, sockets (10 mm, 13 mm, 6'' socket extension), Torx bits (T15, T20), plastic trim tools, utility knife, marker or tape, hammer, tape measure, flat-head screwdriver, pliers, and a die grinder or equivalent cutting tool. Safety glasses must always be worn during installation.
Fastener kit 24949F includes: 7 bolts (M8x1.25x30 CL8.8) and 7 conical washers (3/8''). The conical washers must be installed with the teeth side against the hitch.
Yes. Step 5 of the installation requires removing the bumper by removing 7 bolts (M13 socket and socket extension). The bumper is then reinstalled over the hitch after the hitch is secured with fasteners.
Yes. Step 1 requires opening the tailgate, removing panels on each side to access tail light wiring, disconnecting the wiring (push red connector), removing the plastic retaining screw with pliers, and pushing the tail light rearward to remove it. Both sides must be removed and secured in a safe location.
Yes. The rear fascia must be removed to access the hitch mounting area. This involves removing the appearance panel, bolts from the wheel well, and carefully unclipping and removing the fascia. The fascia is then trimmed and reinstalled after the hitch is mounted.
Yes. Step 9 requires trimming the rear fascia. From the edge of the fascia opening, measure and mark 3/4'' (19.05 mm) over, then measure 2-1/2'' (63.5 mm) across and 1-1/4'' (31.75 mm) down. Carefully trim the fascia as shown in the installation diagram. A die grinder or equivalent cutting tool is recommended.
No drilling is required. The hitch uses existing weld nuts on the end panels. Step 6 (optional) involves running a bolt through an existing weld nut from the forward side of the end panel to support the hitch during installation.
All M8 CL8.8 fasteners must be tightened with a torque wrench to 20 Lb.-Ft. (27 N·M). Proper torque is essential to keep the hitch securely mounted to the vehicle when towing.
The installation sequence is: (1) Remove tail lights; (2) Remove appearance panel; (3) Remove bolts from wheel well and fascia; (4) Remove rear fascia; (5) Remove bumper; (6) Optional—install support bolts; (7) Install hitch and bumper; (8) Tighten all M8 CL8.8 fasteners to 20 Lb.-Ft. (27 N·M); (9) Trim fascia; (10) Reinstall fascia and all fasteners in reverse order. Installation time is approximately 60 minutes for professional installers.
The conical washers (item 2) must be installed with the teeth side against the hitch. They are used with the M8 CL8.8 bolts (item 1) when securing the hitch and bumper.
If the tab on the bumper interferes with installation, use a hammer to bend the tab flush with the bumper. This may be necessary to allow proper alignment and installation of the hitch.
After the hitch is secured with several fasteners to support it, remove the temporary support bolt used in step 6 and install it properly. Then center the hitch on the vehicle and tighten all fasteners to the specified torque of 20 Lb.-Ft. (27 N·M).
After installation, check that the hitch is securely mounted and all fasteners are tight. The manual recommends checking the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and ball are properly tightened. If the hitch is removed, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes.
Always wear your seatbelt. Load the trailer heavier in front. Slow down when towing and never exceed any posted speed limit. 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. Always read and follow all warnings and instructions for your vehicle and other accessories used with the hitch before use.
The maximum tongue weight is 200 lb. (90 kg). Do not exceed the lower of your towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or this limit.
No. The manual explicitly states: 'DO NOT cut, weld or modify this receiver.' Modifications are not permitted and will void the warranty and compromise safety.
