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 integrates your vehicle's taillight system with trailer towing wiring. It connects between your vehicle's existing taillight wiring and provides a 4-flat connector for trailer lights. The product includes a white ground wire, cable ties, an eyelet, and a screw for grounding.
The manual does not specify which vehicle makes, models, or years this T-Connector fits. Contact the manufacturer or your retailer with your vehicle's year, make, model, and cab/bed configuration to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
You will need: a trim panel remover, a drill with a 3/32" drill bit, and a 1/4" socket. Safety glasses are also required during installation.
The T-Connector includes: the T-Connector harness with 4-flat connector end, a white ground wire with eyelet and screw, and cable ties for securing the wires.
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual or contact the manufacturer for guidance on electrical safety before beginning installation.
You remove the passenger-side taillight assembly. Open the trunk, use a trim panel tool to carefully pry away the threshold plate without damaging clips, pull back the carpet on the passenger side to expose the plastic wing nuts, remove the wing nuts, and carefully pull the taillight away from the vehicle without damaging the alignment pins.
Disconnect the wiring harness at the plugs in the taillight pocket. Verify that the mating surfaces of the vehicle's wiring connectors match the T-Connector ends and that all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt. Plug the T-Connector in between the mating plugs, being careful not to damage the locking tabs. Ensure connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing ground stud. If no suitable point exists, drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area before securing. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed.
Drilling is required only if no suitable existing ground stud is available near the connector. If you must drill, use a 3/32" drill bit to create a hole for the ground wire eyelet and screw. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed. Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury, and do not drill into any exposed surfaces.
Route the T-Connector end with the 4-flat connector down through the taillight pocket between the bumper and body towards the center of the bumper. Secure the wires with the cable ties provided.
Reinstall the taillight housing assemblies, positioning the vehicle wiring harness between the housing and the vehicle body. Reinstall the plastic wing nuts, carpet, threshold, and any other items removed during installation. Be careful not to pinch or cut the wires. Secure the remainder of the T-Connector harness with cable ties provided to prevent damage or rattling, avoiding any areas that would pinch, cut, or melt the wire.
Do not exceed the lower of your towing manufacturer's rating or: 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.
All connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly. Test and verify the installation with a test light or by connecting an actual trailer once installed.
Secure all wires with the cable ties provided throughout installation. When reinstalling the taillight assembly and other components, be careful not to pinch or cut the wires. Avoid routing wires through areas that could pinch, cut, or melt them. Secure the remainder of the T-Connector harness to prevent damage or rattling.
All connector mating surfaces must be clean and free of dirt to ensure proper electrical connection. Dirty connectors can cause poor contact and electrical failures. Clean the area before plugging the T-Connector into the vehicle's wiring harness.
The manual does not specify vehicle compatibility. Contact the manufacturer or retailer with your vehicle's year, make, model, and bed/cab configuration to confirm fitment before purchasing.
You need a trim panel remover, a drill with 3/32" bit, and a 1/4" socket. Safety glasses are required.
Maximum 7.5 amps per stop/turn light (1 per side) and 7.5 amps for tail lights, or the lower of your towing manufacturer's rating. Exceeding this can cause fires.
The T-Connector provides a 4-flat connector for trailer wiring integration.
