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 Titan® Class 5 Trailer Hitch, 2-1/2" Square Receiver, Black 45519 (Part #DT45519) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, the 45519 hitch is designed for 2001–2010 Chevy/GMC 2500HD, 3500, and 3500HD models. However, the manual recommends visiting the Cequent website to verify the most up-to-date information regarding your specific year and trim level, as not all trim levels may be compatible.
No. The 45519 hitch is rated for 2001–2010 Chevy/GMC 2500HD, 3500, and 3500HD models only. It is not compatible with 2011 or newer models.
The 45519 hitch has a maximum gross trailer weight of 18,000 lb (8,172 kg) and a maximum tongue weight of 2,000 lb (908 kg) for weight-carrying configuration, or 2,500 lb (1,135 kg) for weight-distributing configuration. However, you must not exceed the lower of your vehicle manufacturer's towing rating or these hitch limits.
You will need: a torque wrench, 18mm and 21mm wrenches, 18mm and 21mm sockets, a socket extension, a ratchet, and safety glasses. The manual notes that installation time for a professional installer averages 25 minutes.
The manual lists Fastener Kit 45519F as a separate item (marked as "*Not in Fastener Kit"). The fastener kit contains the bolts, nuts, washers, and blocks needed for installation. You should verify that the kit is included with your hitch purchase or order it separately if needed.
The manual does not mention disconnecting the battery. This is a mechanical hitch installation with no electrical components, so battery disconnection is not required.
No drilling is required. The 45519 hitch uses existing frame holes and bumper bracket attachment points on your vehicle. The manual explicitly warns: "Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch," indicating that holes are pre-existing.
No. The manual explicitly states: "DO NOT cut, weld or modify this receiver." Cutting or welding will void the warranty and compromise the structural integrity and safety of the hitch.
No, you do not need to remove the bumper. The hitch attaches to existing bumper bracket and frame attachment points. For 2001–2007 models, you will need to loosen (not remove) the bumper brace nuts to allow the brace to swing away from the frame during installation, then swing it back and reinstall the bolt plates.
1. Remove the bottom M14 bolts at the frame end that attach bumper brackets. 2. Remove side M12 nuts and bolt plates at the frame end; keep for reinstallation. 3. For 2001–07 models, loosen bumper brace nuts to allow the brace to swing away. 4. Raise hitch into position and loosely install M14 bolts and conical washers into the bumper bracket weld nut. 5. Place attachment bar and loosely bolt to hitch. 6. If equipped with bumper braces, swing back into position and reinstall bolt plates. 7. Install all remaining fasteners and tighten to specified torque values.
All M14 x 1.5 fasteners (fine thread) must be tightened to 145 lb-ft (201 N·m) using a torque wrench.
All M14 x 2.0 fasteners (coarse thread) must be tightened to 115 lb-ft (156 N·m) using a torque wrench.
All M12 x 1.75 fasteners must be tightened to 92 lb-ft (125 N·m) using a torque wrench.
For vehicles without a bumper bracket, use: (2) extra 1/4 x 1.50 x 2.00 blocks (item 9) and (2) M14 fine-thread nuts (item 4) in place of the bumper bracket and weld nut; (6) M14 fine-thread bolts (item 1); (4) M12 bolts (item 6); (8) 1/2" conical washers (item 7), one inside and one outside the frame; (4) M12 nuts (item 8); and (4) M12 jam nuts (item 8).
Conical washers must be installed with the teeth side against the hitch. This ensures proper load distribution and secure fastening.
If excessive 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. Reduce speed and maintain control until the sway subsides.
Load the trailer heavier in front. This helps maintain stability and control during towing. Do not exceed the maximum tongue weight rating of 2,000 lb (weight-carrying) or 2,500 lb (weight-distributing).
Check all fasteners frequently to ensure they are tight and the hitch is securely mounted to your vehicle. The manual does not specify an exact interval, but recommends periodic checks, especially before towing.
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 your vehicle's interior and prevents corrosion.
A hitch or ball which has been damaged should be removed and replaced immediately. Do not attempt to repair a damaged hitch, as it may not be safe for towing.
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. These precautions protect you from eye injury and other hazards during installation.
Yes, the 45519 is designed for 2001–2010 Chevy/GMC 2500HD, 3500, and 3500HD. Check the Cequent website to confirm your specific trim level.
18,000 lb gross trailer weight, 2,000 lb tongue weight (weight-carrying) or 2,500 lb (weight-distributing). Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's towing rating.
Torque wrench, 18mm and 21mm wrenches and sockets, socket extension, ratchet, and safety glasses. Installation takes about 25 minutes for a professional.
No. The hitch uses existing frame holes and bumper attachment points. Do not cut, weld, or modify the receiver.
M14 x 1.5: 145 lb-ft (201 N·m); M14 x 2.0: 115 lb-ft (156 N·m); M12 x 1.75: 92 lb-ft (125 N·m). Use a torque wrench for all fasteners.
No. For 2001–07 models, loosen (not remove) the bumper brace nuts to allow the brace to swing away, then swing it back. The bumper stays on.
Slow down when towing and never exceed any posted speed limit. Always wear your seatbelt.
Check all fasteners frequently to ensure they are tight and the hitch is securely mounted. Perform checks before towing.
Check that all fasteners are tight using a torque wrench. Verify that M14 x 1.5 fasteners are torqued to 145 lb-ft (201 N·m), M14 x 2.0 fasteners to 115 lb-ft (156 N·m), and M12 x 1.75 fasteners to 92 lb-ft (125 N·m). The manual emphasizes that proper torque is essential to keep the hitch secure during towing. Recheck fasteners frequently.
No. A hitch or ball which has been damaged should be removed and replaced. Do not attempt to repair a damaged ball, as it may fail during towing and cause an accident.
Plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes. Use appropriate plugs or caps to seal the holes completely.
