These dependable custom hitches are manufactured for 2000-2013 Chevrolet Impala and attach to your vehicle?s frame or bumper for a sleek, clean appearance. Each hitch also has a 1-1/4 inch square receiver tube opening so you can easily attach accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier, or a utility trailer. DRAW-TITE Class 2 custom trailer hitches come complete with all the mounting hardware needed for installation and are backed by a nationwide lifetime limited warranty. So, whether you are headed out to the campground and need a place for the cooler, taking the bikes to hit the trails in the park, or you are tackling a DIY project (maybe some landscaping or a home repair), choose DRAW-TITE and travel with confidence knowing your setup is connected with the security only DRAW-TITE can provide. DRAW-TITE: North America?s Favorite Hitch.
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 T-Connector is a wiring harness that allows you to connect a trailer to your vehicle's taillight circuit. It taps into the existing taillight wiring on both the driver's and passenger's sides of the vehicle and provides a 4-Flat connector for trailer connection. The connector includes a yellow wire for the driver's side, a green wire for the passenger's side, and a white wire for grounding.
Yes, the T-Connector is designed for the Chevrolet Impala. However, the manual does not specify which model years or body styles are compatible. Contact the manufacturer or a fitment database to confirm compatibility with your specific Impala year and configuration.
You will need: a test-probe, a drill with a 3/32" drill bit, and a Philips head screwdriver. These are the only tools specified in the manual.
The T-Connector includes cable ties to secure the harness, an eyelet, and a screw for grounding the white wire. The manual notes that a bracket for mounting the 4-Flat connector is not included and must be sourced separately.
Open the trunk and remove the threshold panel and floor coverings. On both the driver's and passenger's sides, remove two plastic wing nuts from inside the trunk, then carefully pull back the carpet to expose two more plastic wing nuts on each side (4 total per side). Unscrew these wing nuts and carefully pry the taillight housing away from the vehicle, being careful not to break the alignment tabs.
On the driver's side, disconnect the vehicle wiring harness from the taillight socket. Plug the T-Connector end with the yellow wire in between the mating plugs on the driver's side taillight socket and the vehicle wiring harness. This creates a pass-through connection that allows the vehicle's taillight to function while also providing power to the trailer connector.
Route the T-Connector end with the green wire and the 4-Flat connector wire down through the opening between the vehicle bumper and body on the driver's side. Then route the green wire end to the passenger's side and route the 4-Flat connector underneath the bumper. Finally, route the green wire end up through the opening on the passenger side. Be careful to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, and any points that could pinch or break the wire.
Repeat the same process as the driver's side: locate the taillight socket on the passenger's side, disconnect the vehicle wiring harness, and plug the T-Connector end with the green wire in between the mating plugs on the passenger's side taillight socket and the vehicle wiring harness.
Yes. You must drill a 3/32" hole to secure the white ground wire. Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed, and do not drill into any exposed surfaces. Choose a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as the vehicle's frame or crossmember.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as the vehicle's frame or crossmember. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area. Drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided with the T-Connector.
After connecting both taillight ends and routing the wiring, reinstall the taillight housing assemblies, positioning the vehicle wiring harness between the housing and the vehicle body. Secure the remainder of the T-Connector harness with the cable ties provided. Be careful to avoid any areas that would cut or pinch the wire.
Mount the 4-Flat connector in a suitable location under the vehicle. The manual does not provide specific location recommendations. A bracket for mounting is not included and must be sourced separately.
Do not exceed 7.5 amps on stop/turn lights or 7.5 amps on tail lights. Overloading the circuit can cause fires. Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer's rating or these amperage limits. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual and instruction sheet for additional information.
All connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly. Test and verify the installation with a test light or by connecting a trailer once installed. Use the test-probe to verify that power is reaching the 4-Flat connector at the appropriate pins.
