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, the T-Connector is designed for Toyota Highlander 2008-2013 and 2014-Current models. Installation procedures differ between these model years: 2008-2013 models require accessing the 10-pin tow plug under the dash on the driver's side, while 2014-Current models have the 10-pin and 4-pin connectors located behind the rear interior trim panel. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual to confirm your model year and factory tow connector configuration.
The kit includes the T-Connector black converter box, 10-pin and 4-pin tow-plug adapters, a 10A fuse, double-sided tape for mounting the converter box, and cable ties for securing the wire harness. An additional 10 amp fuse is located on the wiring harness underneath the dash between the 10-pin tow plug and the black box. The 4-flat connector should be stored in the trunk or rear cargo area when not in use.
You will need a test-probe and a trim panel remover. The test-probe is used to verify electrical connections, and the trim panel remover is needed to safely remove interior trim panels without damage during installation.
The manual does not specify that the battery must be disconnected before installation. However, the manual does state that for the initial test after installation, you should reset the vehicle electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition.
On 2008-2013 models, route the converter over to the driver's side kick panel area and mount the black box in the opening between the vehicle body and the emergency brake pedal bracket using the double-sided tape provided. Be careful to avoid areas that would cut or pinch the wire.
On 2014-Current models, locate a flat surface in an out-of-the-way place on the driver's side and mount the T-Connector's black converter box with the double-sided tape provided.
Locate the vehicle's 10-pin tow plug underneath the dash on the driver's side between the emergency brake pedal and the brake pedal. Check that the mating surfaces match, then insert the 10-pin tow plug adapter and lock it into place. Be careful not to damage the locking tabs and ensure that connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
Open the vehicle's rear tailgate and remove access panels, threshold, trunk floor panels and trays on the driver's side. Locate the vehicle's factory 4-pin tow harness connector. Check that the mating surfaces are clean and free of dirt, then insert the 4-pin tow-plug adapter and lock it into place. Be careful not to damage the locking tabs and ensure connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
Open the rear tailgate and remove access panels, threshold, trunk floor panels and trays on the driver's side. Locate the 10-pin connector behind the rear interior trim panel and insert the 10-pin tow-plug adapter, locking it into place. Then locate the 4-pin connector behind the rear interior trim panel and insert the 4-pin tow-plug adapter, locking it into place. Ensure all locking tabs are engaged.
After mounting the black box, use the cable ties provided to secure the remainder of the wire harness and prevent wires from being exposed underneath the dash area. Be careful to avoid any areas that would cut or pinch the wire.
After repositioning the trays, trunk floor panels and access panels and reattaching the threshold, proceed to Step 8: open the hood and locate the vehicle fuse panel on the driver's side. Consulting your owner's manual, locate the Towing Fuse location and insert the 10A fuse provided.
Use a 10A fuse only. Do not replace with any fuse that exceeds 10 amps. An additional 10 amp fuse is located on the wiring harness underneath the dash between the 10-pin tow plug and the black box.
Do not exceed the lower of your towing manufacturer's rating or the following limits: maximum stop/turn light is 1 per side (2.1 amps), and maximum tail lights are 5.6 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 installation with a test light or trailer once installed. For the initial test, reset the vehicle electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition.
