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.

No. Part number 36542 is designed for Nissan Rogue and Nissan Rogue Select models, but explicitly excludes Krōm variants. If you have a Krōm model, you will need a different hitch.
Part number 36542 is designed for 2014 and 2015 Nissan Rogue and Nissan Rogue Select models (except Krōm).
The 36542 is a Class II Weight Carrying Ball Mount with a maximum gross trailer weight of 3500 lb (1590 kg) and maximum tongue weight of 300 lb (136 kg). However, you must not exceed the lower of the towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or these hitch specifications.
You will need wrenches in 18 mm and 19 mm sizes, and a torque wrench to tighten fasteners to 75 Lb.-Ft. (102 N·M). No drill bits are required.
The hitch comes with 5 hex bolts (M12 x 1.25 x 35 mm CL8.8) and 5 conical washers (½"). These fasteners are included in the fastener kit 36542F. All fasteners must be tightened to 75 Lb.-Ft. (102 N·M).
Yes. Step 1 of the installation requires you to remove and return the factory tow hook and its fasteners to the vehicle owner.
Only if your vehicle has appearance panels covering the driver's and passenger's side frame rails. If present, remove these plastic appearance panels and return them along with their fasteners to the vehicle owner. If your vehicle does not have these panels, no removal is necessary.
1. Remove and return the factory tow hook and fasteners to the vehicle owner. 2. Raise the hitch into position on the driver's side and loosely install the center fastener, inserting the hex bolt and conical washer through the elongated hole in the hitch into the vehicle frame. 3. Raise the hitch into position on the passenger's side and loosely install the center fastener in the same manner. 4. Center the hitch on the vehicle and install the remaining hardware. 5. Tighten all M12 x 1.25 CL8.8 fasteners with a torque wrench to 75 Lb.-Ft. (102 N·M).

All M12 x 1.25 CL8.8 fasteners must be tightened with a torque wrench to 75 Lb.-Ft. (102 N·M).
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 which has been damaged should be removed and replaced.
Check the hitch frequently, making sure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual emphasizes regular inspection to ensure the installation remains secure.
The manual references drawbar kit 36053 as a separate product sold separately. The relationship between the base hitch 36542 and the drawbar kit is not explicitly detailed in the manual.

Yes, the T-Connector is designed for both Nissan Rogue and Infiniti G35 vehicles. However, the installation steps differ slightly between the two models. For Nissan Rogue, you remove the rear hatch, threshold plate, storage covers, and floor covering, then access the taillight wiring through the rear interior trim panels. For Infiniti G35, you open the trunk, remove the threshold plate, and access the wiring through the felt trunk liner behind the taillights.
The T-Connector is a trailer wiring converter that taps into your vehicle's existing taillight wiring harness to provide trailer lighting connections. It uses a black converter box and a 4-flat connector to convert the vehicle's taillight signals for trailer use.
You will need: a drill with a 3/32" drill bit, a Philips head screwdriver, a test-probe, a trim panel puller, wire crimpers, and wire cutters.
Yes. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable before connecting the wiring to the battery. This is done in Step 4. After all wiring connections are complete, you reconnect the negative battery cable and install the 10 amp fuse in Step 5.
Yes. You must drill a 3/32" hole to secure the white ground wire to a suitable grounding point on the vehicle's frame or cross member. You must verify what is behind any surface before drilling to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed, and do not drill any exposed surfaces.
Yes. For Nissan Rogue, you must partially remove the rear interior trim panels on both the driver and passenger sides to access the taillight wiring harness. For Infiniti G35, you must partially remove the felt trunk liner behind the taillights. You will need a trim panel puller to remove these panels, and you must be careful not to damage them.
The T-Connector uses the following wire colors: yellow wire (driver's side T-Connector end), green wire (passenger's side T-Connector end), black 12 gauge wire (from the black converter box), red wire (from the black converter box), and white wire (ground wire). The yellow and green wires connect to the vehicle's taillight harness, while the black and red wires connect to the battery through a yellow fuse holder with a 10 amp fuse.
Locate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness on both the driver and passenger sides. The harness will have connection points matching the ends of the T-Connector. Separate the existing connector carefully without breaking the locking tabs. Ensure all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt. Insert the T-Connector end with the yellow wire on the driver's side between the vehicle wiring connectors and lock into place. Route the T-Connector end with the green wire to the passenger's side behind the panels and along the threshold, then repeat the connection process.
From inside the vehicle, connect the black 12 gauge wire and red wire from the T-Connector black box using the supplied yellow butt connector. You have two routing options: either route the black wire through a grommet and along the exterior frame, or follow the existing wiring along the thresholds into the engine compartment up to the battery. Whichever route you choose, avoid areas that may pinch or break the wire. If routing through a grommet and along the exterior, be careful to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any other points that may pinch or break the wire.
First, disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable. Remove the fuse from the yellow fuse holder if not already removed. Cut the fuse holder wire, attach the ring terminal, and secure it to the vehicle's positive (+) battery cable. Connect the other end of the fuse holder to the black 12 gauge wire using the supplied yellow butt connector. Then reconnect the negative battery cable and install the 10 amp fuse into the fuse holder. All connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly.
Install a 10 amp fuse into the yellow fuse holder provided with the T-Connector. This fuse protects the circuit from overload.
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.
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. Secure the remainder of the T-Connector harness with the cable ties provided to prevent damage or rattling, being careful to avoid any areas that would cut or pinch the wire.
After installation is complete, test and verify the installation with a test light or trailer. For the initial test, reset the vehicle's electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition. All connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly.
Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer's rating or the following limits: maximum 1 stop/turn light per side (2.1 amps), and maximum tail lights (5.6 amps). Overloading the circuit can cause fires. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual and instruction sheet for additional information.
Store the 4-flat connector in the rear cargo area when not in use.
Yes. When you locate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness and separate the existing connector, ensure all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt before inserting the T-Connector ends.
Set aside all items removed during installation, being careful not to damage them. After completing the wiring installation, reinstall the plastic trim panels, threshold, storage covers, floor covering, and other items that were removed, being careful not to pinch or cut the wires.
The T-Connector fits Nissan Rogue and Infiniti G35 vehicles. Installation procedures differ slightly between the two models.
You need a drill with 3/32" bit, Philips head screwdriver, test-probe, trim panel puller, wire crimpers, and wire cutters.
Yes, disconnect the negative battery cable before connecting the wiring. Reconnect it after all connections are complete and the 10 amp fuse is installed.
