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.

No. The manual explicitly states: "This product is not recommended for use on a 1/2 ton vehicle."
1. Place two 1/2" carriage bolts with large bolt plates (spacer item 6) through the two rear holes on each side of the frame. 2. Lift the hitch to the frame with bolts going down through rear holes in brackets. Install 1/2" flat washers, lock washers, and nuts. 3. Install 1/2" carriage bolts with small bolt plates (spacer item 2) down through front mounting locations, with plates turned sideways and laying flat on the bottom of the frame. 4. Install 1/2" conical washers (teeth side against hitch), lock washers, and nuts. 5. Tighten all 1/2-13 GR5 fasteners to 75 lb-ft (102 N·m) with a torque wrench.
All 1/2-13 GR5 fasteners must be tightened to 75 lb-ft (102 N·m) using a torque wrench. Proper torque is needed to keep the hitch secure to the vehicle when towing.
The front mounting bolts use small bolt plates (spacer item 2) that must be turned sideways and laid flat on the bottom of the frame, as shown in the installation diagram. The rear mounting bolts use large bolt plates (spacer item 6). The conical washers must have their teeth side against the hitch.
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. 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 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.
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 the hitch rating (12,000 lb gross trailer weight, 1,200 lb tongue weight for weight-carrying configuration).
Check that all fasteners are tight and the hitch is securely mounted to your vehicle. Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. If the hitch is damaged, it should be removed and replaced.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual does not specify an exact interval, but periodic inspection is required to maintain safe towing.

The T-Connector 18392-037 is a taillight wiring adapter that integrates a trailer's electrical system with your vehicle's existing taillight wiring. It allows the trailer's stop, turn, and tail lights to draw power from the vehicle's taillight circuits without requiring permanent modifications to the vehicle's factory wiring harness.
The manual does not specify which vehicle makes, models, or years are compatible with this T-Connector. Contact the manufacturer or your retailer to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle before purchasing.
The T-Connector includes: two T-Connector ends (one with yellow wire for driver's side, one with green wire for passenger's side), a white grounding wire with an eyelet and screw, and locking tabs for secure connection. The product is designed to work with your vehicle's existing taillight connectors.
You will need a drill with a 3/32" drill bit to create the grounding hole. A test light or trailer is also required to verify the installation after completion. The manual does not specify other tools, but you may need a screwdriver to remove and reinstall trim panels.
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected. Contact the manufacturer or consult your vehicle's owner's manual before beginning installation.
Remove the rear interior trim panels located near the doors on both sides of the vehicle. These panels provide access to the taillight wiring harness. The green wire will later be tucked under the floor trim (threshold) panel before reinstalling all rear trim panels.
1. Disconnect the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connectors on the driver's side, being careful not to damage the locking tabs. 2. Plug the T-Connector end with the yellow wire between the mating plugs on the driver's side taillight socket and vehicle wiring harness. 3. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted together using the existing and supplied locking tabs.
Repeat the driver's side procedure on the passenger's side using the T-Connector end containing the green wire. Disconnect the passenger's side taillight wiring harness connectors carefully, then plug the green-wire T-Connector end between the mating plugs on the passenger's side taillight socket and vehicle wiring harness, ensuring full insertion with locking tabs engaged.
Yes. You must drill a 3/32" hole to secure the white grounding wire. The hole should be drilled in a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as the vehicle's frame or crossmember. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed, and do not drill into any exposed surfaces. Always verify what is behind any surface before drilling to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury.
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 before drilling the 3/32" hole. Always verify what is behind the surface before drilling to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury.
Drill a 3/32" hole for the white grounding wire eyelet and screw.
After drilling the 3/32" hole in a suitable grounding point on the vehicle's frame or crossmember, secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided with the T-Connector. First clean dirt and rustproofing from the area.
The T-Connector has three wires: yellow wire (driver's side taillight connection), green wire (passenger's side taillight connection), and white wire (grounding wire). The yellow and green wires connect to the respective taillight harnesses, while the white wire must be grounded to the vehicle's frame or crossmember.
After connecting the passenger's side T-Connector, tuck the green wire under the floor trim (threshold) panel before reinstalling the vehicle's rear trim panels.
Do not exceed the lower of your towing manufacturer's rating or these limits: maximum 1 stop/turn light per side at 7.5 amps, and maximum tail lights at 7.5 amps. Overloading the circuit can cause fires. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual and instruction sheet for additional information.
Maximum 1 stop/turn light per side at 7.5 amps. Do not exceed this limit to prevent circuit overload and fire risk.
Maximum 7.5 amps for tail lights. Do not exceed this limit to prevent circuit overload and fire risk.
All connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly. Test and verify the installation using a test light or by connecting an actual trailer once installed. This ensures all taillight functions (stop, turn, and tail lights) are working correctly on both sides.
Verify that all connections are complete and fully inserted with locking tabs engaged. Test the installation with a test light or trailer to confirm that all taillight functions (stop, turn, and tail lights) are working correctly on both the driver's and passenger's sides.
