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.

Yes, part number 36408 is designed for Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent, Saturn Vue, and GMC Terrain. The installation method varies slightly by vehicle: Saturn Vue requires carriage bolts and blocks to be pulled through the bumper using a pull wire, while Chevrolet Equinox and Pontiac Torrent use M12 bolts directly through the bumper mounting bracket. The manual does not specify whether GMC Terrain follows the Equinox/Torrent method or Saturn Vue method.
The maximum gross trailer weight is 3500 lb and the maximum tongue weight is 300 lb. However, you must not exceed the lower of this rating or your towing vehicle manufacturer's rating.
You will need wrenches in 18 mm, 19 mm, and 3/4 inch sizes. For Saturn Vue, an open-end 3/4 inch wrench is required. For Chevrolet Equinox, a 6-inch ratchet extension is required. A torque wrench is also needed to tighten fasteners to specification. No drill bits are required.
The kit includes: 6 M12 hex bolts, 6 conical washers, 2 carriage bolts (1/2-13), 2 hex nuts (1/2-13), 2 blocks (1-1/2 x 2 inch), and 1 pull wire. Due to different vehicle configurations, some hardware will be left over after installation.
The fascia door must be removed on Chevrolet Equinox (step 2) and replaced after installation (step 7). The manual does not specify whether the fascia door removal is required for Pontiac Torrent, Saturn Vue, or GMC Terrain.
If tie-down brackets are present on the vehicle frame rail, they must be removed before installation. Return the bolts and tie-down bracket to the vehicle owner.
1. Remove tie-down brackets if present. 2. Raise the hitch into position. 3. Hand-tighten all bolts. 4. Pull carriage bolts and small blocks through the end of the bumper using the pull wire, then feed them through the bumper mounting bracket. 5. Attach conical washer and nut. 6. Tighten all 1/2-13 GR5 fasteners to 75 Lb.-Ft. and all M12 CL8.8 fasteners to 68 Lb.-Ft. using a torque wrench.

All 1/2-13 GR5 fasteners must be tightened to 75 Lb.-Ft. (102 N·M) using a torque wrench.
Yes. Step 4 requires you to hand-tighten all bolts before using a torque wrench to tighten them to final specification in step 6.
No. The drawbar kit (part number 36051 or 90001) is sold separately. The drawbar must be used in the RISE position only.
Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle and wear eye protection. 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. A hitch or ball that has been damaged should be removed and replaced.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual does not specify a retorque interval or post-installation inspection checklist beyond this general requirement.
No. The manual lists drill bits as "None" under Equipment Required. The hitch uses existing weld nuts in the bumper and frame, so no drilling is necessary.
Wiring access locations are: Chevrolet SUV3, Pontiac SUV3, and Saturn SUV1 or SUV2. The manual does not provide detailed wiring instructions or diagrams.

The T-Connector is a trailer harness adapter that allows you to connect a trailer to your vehicle's existing trailer wiring. It plugs into your vehicle's 6-pin trailer harness connector and provides a connection point for trailer lights. The connector includes a white ground wire that must be secured to a suitable grounding point on the vehicle frame or cross member.
The T-Connector is designed for vehicles with a driver's side tire jack storage compartment that contains a 6-pin trailer harness connector. To verify compatibility, open your rear tailgate, locate the tire jack compartment on the driver's side, and check for a 6-pin connector taped to the vehicle wiring harness at the floor of the compartment. If your vehicle has this connector, the T-Connector will fit. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for additional information.
You will need a drill capable of drilling a 3/32" hole. The T-Connector kit includes an eyelet and screw for securing the white ground wire. You should also have a screwdriver to remove the tire jack compartment panel and access the harness area. Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury.
The 6-pin connector is located at the floor of the driver's side tire jack storage compartment. It is taped to the vehicle's wiring harness. To access it, open the rear tailgate, locate the tire jack compartment on the driver's side, remove the panel, and remove the tire jack. The 6-pin connector will be visible at the floor of the compartment.
Remove the tape on the vehicle's 6-pin connector plug. Insert the T-Connector into the vehicle's trailer plug harness. Ensure that the T-Connector is fully inserted with the locking tabs in place. The connector must be fully seated for proper function.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as the vehicle's frame or cross member. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed, and do not drill into any exposed surfaces. Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area, then drill a 3/32" hole.
Yes. You must drill a 3/32" hole to secure the white ground wire using the eyelet and screw provided. The hole should be drilled into a suitable grounding point on the vehicle frame or cross member, not into the vehicle floor or bed. Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage.
After drilling a 3/32" hole in a suitable grounding point on the vehicle frame or cross member, secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided in the kit. The grounding point should be clean of dirt and rustproofing before attachment.
The T-Connector has the following maximum circuit ratings: stop/turn lights maximum 1 per side at 2.1 amps, and tail lights maximum 5 amps. Do not exceed these ratings or the lower of your towing manufacturer's rating, as overloading the circuit can cause fires. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual and instruction sheet for additional information.
After installation, test and verify the installation with a test light or trailer to ensure all connections are complete and functioning properly. All connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function correctly. Store the 4-flat connector in the jack storage compartment when not in use.
No. Overloading the circuit can cause fires. Do not exceed the lower of your towing manufacturer's rating or the T-Connector's maximum ratings: 1 stop/turn light per side (2.1 amps) and tail lights (5 amps). Consult your vehicle's owner's manual and instruction sheet for additional information about your specific towing capacity.
Store the 4-flat connector in the jack storage compartment when not in use.
The T-Connector fits vehicles with a driver's side tire jack storage compartment containing a 6-pin trailer harness connector. Check your compartment to confirm the 6-pin connector is present before purchasing.
Maximum 1 stop/turn light per side (2.1 amps) and tail lights (5 amps). Do not exceed these or your vehicle manufacturer's lower towing rating to avoid fire risk.
Test and verify the installation with a test light or trailer once installed to ensure all connections are complete and functioning properly.
