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 an electrical adapter that integrates trailer lighting into your vehicle's existing taillight wiring system. It allows you to connect a trailer's 4-flat connector to your vehicle's taillight circuit without permanently modifying the vehicle's wiring. The product includes a black box connector unit, harnesses with colour-coded wires (yellow and green), an eyelet, screw, double-sided tape, and cable ties.
The T-Connector is designed to work with vehicles that have a taillight wiring harness with a connection point near each taillight housing that matches the T-Connector's ends. The manual does not provide a specific vehicle compatibility list. You should verify that your vehicle's taillight connector matches the T-Connector ends before purchasing. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual or contact the manufacturer if you are unsure.
You need a screwdriver and a drill with a 3/32" drill bit. The screwdriver is used to remove and reinstall taillight housings. The drill is used to create a 3/32" hole for the ground wire connection on the vehicle frame or cross member.
The T-Connector includes: a black box connector unit, two harnesses with colour-coded wires (yellow and green), a 4-flat connector, an eyelet, a screw, double-sided tape, and cable ties. The eyelet and screw are used to secure the white ground wire to the vehicle frame.
Open the tailgate and carefully pry the taillight housings away from the vehicle body. Be careful not to break the alignment tabs during removal. These tabs help position the housing correctly when reinstalling.
On the driver's side, locate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connector near the taillight housing. Separate this connector carefully without breaking the locking tabs. Ensure all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt. Plug the T-Connector harness containing the yellow wire between the vehicle's mating connectors. Make sure the T-Connector is fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat this process on the passenger's side using the T-Connector harness end with the green wire.
Beginning at the driver's side taillight pocket, route the harness containing the green wire and the 4-flat connector down through the opening between the vehicle bumper and body. Route the 4-flat harness to the center of the vehicle. Then route the harness containing the green wire underneath the vehicle and up through the opening between the bumper and body to the passenger's side taillight pocket. Route the wire carefully to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any other points that may pinch or break the wire.
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 cross member.
Drill a 3/32" hole. This hole is used to secure the white ground wire using the eyelet and screw provided with the T-Connector.
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. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area before drilling the 3/32" hole and securing the white wire with the eyelet and screw provided.
On the driver's side, mount the T-Connector black box using the double-sided tape provided. Secure the remainder of the T-Connector harness with the cable ties provided to prevent damage or rattling. Be careful to avoid any areas that would cut or pinch the wire.
Reinstall the taillight housing assemblies, positioning the vehicle wiring harness between the housing and the vehicle body. Ensure the alignment tabs engage properly to secure the housings in place.
Do not exceed the lower of your towing manufacturer's rating or the following limits: maximum 1 stop/turn light per side at 2.1 amps, and maximum tail lights at 5 amps. Overloading the circuit can cause fires. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual and instruction sheet for additional information.
