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, this T-Connector is designed for Dodge Nitro and Jeep Liberty vehicles. The manual does not specify model years, trim levels, or other variations that may affect fitment, so verify your specific vehicle configuration before purchasing.
The T-Connector is a trailer wiring converter that allows you to connect a trailer to your Dodge Nitro or Jeep Liberty. It converts the vehicle's taillight signals to a 4-flat trailer connector. The system includes a converter box, wiring harness with color-coded ends, fuse holder, and connectors.
You will need: a drill with 3/32" drill bit, Phillips head screwdriver, trim panel remover, wire crimpers, wire cutters, and a test probe. These tools are required to remove taillight assemblies, drill the ground wire hole, and make electrical connections.
The kit includes: a yellow fuse holder with 10 amp fuse, yellow butt connectors, a ring terminal, a white eyelet and screw for grounding, double-sided tape for the converter box, cable ties for securing the harness, and a T-Connector harness with color-coded ends (yellow, green, and black wires) plus a 4-flat connector. A bracket for the 4-flat connector is not included.
Yes. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable before beginning installation. After completing the wiring connections, you will reconnect the negative battery cable and install the 10 amp fuse into the fuse holder.
Open the tailgate and locate the two clips holding each taillight assembly in place. Remove both clips, then carefully pry the housing away from the vehicle body, taking care not to break the alignment tabs. Repeat this process for both the right and left side taillight assemblies.
The T-Connector end with the yellow wire plugs in between the mating plugs on the driver's side taillight socket and the vehicle wiring harness. This connection is made after disconnecting the vehicle wiring harness from the taillight socket.
From the driver's side, route the T-Connector end with the green wire and the 4-flat connector down through the opening between the vehicle bumper and body. Route the green wire end to the passenger's side and route the 4-flat underneath the bumper. Then route the green wire end up through the opening on the passenger side. Repeat the connection process on the passenger side taillight.
Yes. You must drill a 3/32" hole to secure the white ground wire. Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector (do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed), clean dirt and rustproofing from the area, drill the hole, and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided.
Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle and personal injury. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces or into the vehicle floor or bed. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area before drilling the 3/32" hole for the ground wire.
Disconnect the vehicle's negative battery cable first. Remove the fuse from the yellow fuse holder (if not already removed). Cut the fuse holder wire, attach the ring terminal to the vehicle's positive (+) battery cable, and connect the other end of the fuse holder to the black 12 gauge wire using the yellow butt connector provided. After all wiring is complete, reconnect the negative battery cable and install the 10 amp fuse into the fuse holder.
The black power wire is 12 gauge (12 ga.). A 10 amp fuse is installed in the yellow fuse holder provided with the kit.
Beginning from the front of the vehicle, route the black 12 gauge wire rearward along the frame rail. Route the wire carefully to avoid any hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any other points that may pinch or break the wire. Continue routing to the rear driver's side and up through the opening between the vehicle rear bumper and body to access the rear driver's side taillight area.
Route the black 12 gauge wire up through the opening between the vehicle rear bumper and body on the driver's side to access the rear driver's side taillight area. Attach the black 12 gauge wire to the black wire from the T-Connector black box using the supplied yellow butt connector.
On the driver's side, locate a flat surface in an out-of-the-way place and mount the T-Connector's black converter box using the double-sided tape provided. The epoxy side of the module must point toward the ground to prevent water buildup.
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 under the bumper with the cable ties provided, being careful to avoid any areas that would cut or pinch the wire.
Mount the 4-flat connector in a suitable location under the vehicle. A bracket is not included with the kit, so you will need to source and install an appropriate bracket separately.
Always wear safety glasses during installation. Read and follow all warnings and cautions printed on the tow vehicle's battery. Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer rating (including in your vehicle owner's manual) or the specific amperage ratings stated on the product. Overloading circuits can cause fires. Route wires carefully to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, and pinch points.
All connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly. Test and verify the installation with a test light or trailer once installed. Ensure the 10 amp fuse is installed in the fuse holder and all wire connections are secure before testing.
Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer rating (including in your vehicle owner's manual) or the specific amperage ratings stated on the product. The kit includes a 10 amp fuse, which provides circuit protection. Consult your vehicle owner's manual and the product documentation for the specific amperage rating applicable to your vehicle.
