These dependable custom hitches are manufactured for 2010-2013 KIA Soul and attach to your vehicle?s frame or bumper for a sleek, clean appearance. Each hitch also has a 1-1/4 inch square receiver tube opening so you can easily attach accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier, or a utility trailer. DRAW-TITE Class 1 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.

Open the rear lift gate. On both the driver and passenger sides, remove three screws. Carefully pull the taillight away from the vehicle, being careful not to damage the alignment pins. Locate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness on each side; it will have a connection point matching the ends of the T-Connector.
On the driver's side, insert the T-Connector end with the yellow wire between the vehicle wiring connectors and lock into place. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
On the passenger's side, insert the T-Connector end with the green wire between the vehicle wiring connectors and lock into place. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
Route the harness containing the green wire and the 4-Flat connector down the opening behind the taillight on the driver's side. Route the harness containing the green wire underneath the vehicle and up through the opening behind the passenger's side taillight.
Yes. You must drill a 3/32" hole to secure the white wire ground connection using the eyelet and screw provided. Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, clean dirt and rustproofing from the area, then drill the hole. Do not drill into the vehicle floor, bed, or any exposed surfaces.
Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle and personal injury. Do not drill into the vehicle floor, bed, or any exposed surfaces. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area before drilling the 3/32" hole.

Mount the 4-Flat connector end in an accessible location with a bracket or electrical box (not included). The manual does not specify exact mounting locations; choose a position that is easy to access and safe from damage.
Reinstall the taillight housing assemblies, positioning the vehicle wiring harness between the housing and the vehicle body. This ensures the harness is protected and properly seated.
The T-Connector has a yellow wire on the driver's side end and a green wire on the passenger's side end. The white wire is the ground connection. The manual does not specify the function of each wire color; refer to your vehicle's owner's manual or the trailer wiring documentation for circuit details.
Do not exceed the lower of your towing manufacturer's rating or: Maximum stop/turn light: 1 per side (2.1 amps); Maximum tail lights: 5 amps. Overloading the circuit can cause fires. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual and the instruction sheet for additional information.
For the initial test, reset the vehicle electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition. Test and verify the installation with a test light or trailer once installed. All connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly.
The manual instructs you to separate the connector carefully without breaking the locking tabs. If the tabs are damaged during removal, the connector may not lock securely. Contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician for replacement connector guidance.
