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.

You will need: ratchet, torque wrench, safety glasses, sockets (7 mm, 18 mm, 3/4"), star drivers (T15), and a flat head screwdriver. Plastic trim tools are also shown in the manual illustration.
The fastener kit (75528F) includes: (6) M12 x 1.75 x 45 mm hex bolts CL 10.9; (2) spacers (.250 x 1 x 2); (6) 1/2" conical washers; (2) 1/2"-13 handle nuts; and (2) 1/2"-13 x 1-3/4" hex bolts GR 5.
Only if your vehicle is equipped with integrated rear fascia exhaust outlets. If equipped, you must remove the rear fascia before lowering the exhaust. If your vehicle does not have integrated rear fascia exhaust outlets, skip the fascia removal step and proceed directly to lowering the exhaust.
Yes. You must detach the rubber exhaust hangers and lower the rearward portion of the exhaust (2 on single exhaust or 4 on dual exhaust) to allow the hitch to be positioned over the exhaust pipes. The exhaust must be supported to prevent damage during this process.
1. Remove fascia door. 2. If equipped with integrated rear fascia exhaust outlets, remove rear fascia (otherwise skip). 3. Lower exhaust and support it. 4. Raise hitch into position over exhaust pipes, aligning slots with frame rail weldnuts. 5. Loosely install side fasteners (M12 bolts and 1/2" conical washers). 6.

Yes, the T-Connector (part number 118450-037) is designed for both Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Malibu. However, the taillight housing removal procedure differs between the two vehicles. The Buick Enclave requires removing two bolts per light and carefully prying the housing away. The Chevrolet Malibu requires removing plastic cargo nuts in the trunk (1 per side) and plastic wing nuts (3 per side) before pulling the taillight away.
The T-Connector kit includes the T-Connector harness with yellow and green wire ends, a 4-Flat connector, cable ties, an eyelet, a screw, and a white wire for grounding. The manual notes that the bracket for mounting the 4-Flat connector is not included and must be sourced separately.
You will need: a drill with a 3/32" drill bit, a Phillips head screwdriver, and either a 7mm socket and ratchet or a 7mm wrench. These tools are used to remove the taillight housing bolts and to drill the grounding hole.
Open the rear door. Remove both taillight housing assemblies by removing the two bolts for each light and carefully prying the vehicle taillight housing assembly away from the vehicle. Be careful not to break the alignment tabs during removal.
Open the trunk and locate the plastic cargo nuts on both sides behind the taillights (1 per side). Remove these nuts and set aside. Carefully pull back the carpet on both sides to expose the plastic wing nuts (3 per side). Remove the wing nuts and set aside. Carefully pull the taillight away from the vehicle, being careful not to damage the alignment pins.
On the driver's side, disconnect the vehicle wiring harness from the taillight socket. Plug the T-Connector end with the yellow wire in-between the mating plugs on the driver's side taillight socket and vehicle wiring harness. This creates a splice connection between the vehicle's original wiring and the T-Connector.
On 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 T-Connector end with the green wire to the passenger's side and route the 4-Flat underneath the bumper. Route the T-Connector end with the green wire up through the opening on the passenger side. Repeat the connection process for the passenger side. Route all wiring carefully to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any other points that may pinch or break the wire.
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. Drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided. Before drilling, verify what is behind any surface to avoid damage to the vehicle and personal injury. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces.
A 3/32" drill bit is required to drill the grounding hole for the white wire eyelet.
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 with the cable ties provided to prevent damage or rattling. Be careful to avoid any areas that would cut or pinch the wire.
Mount the 4-Flat connector in a suitable location under the vehicle. The manual notes that a bracket is not included with the kit, so you will need to source and install an appropriate mounting bracket separately.
Do not exceed the following maximum circuit loads: 7.5 amps for stop/turn lights and 7.5 amps for tail lights. Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer rating or these limits. Overloading the circuit can cause fires.
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. This ensures all wiring is properly connected and functioning before use.
Route the wiring carefully to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any other points that may pinch or break the wire. Secure the harness with the provided cable ties to prevent damage or rattling, and avoid any areas that would cut or pinch the wire. Before drilling any holes, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle and personal injury.

Test the installation with a test light or trailer to verify proper operation.
