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, part number 75717 is designed to fit both Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage vehicles. The installation instructions cover both models, with wiring access points specified as SUV1 and SUV2 for Tucson, and SUV1 and SUV5 for Sportage.
The maximum towing capacity depends on the hitch type. A weight-distributing hitch supports a maximum gross trailer weight of 5250 lb (1816 kg) with a maximum tongue weight of 525 lb (182 kg). A weight-carrying ball mount supports a maximum gross trailer weight of 3500 lb (1589 kg) with a maximum tongue weight of 525 lb (159 kg). Do not exceed the lower of the towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or these specifications.
A 16mm wrench and a torque wrench are required. No drill bits are needed, as the hitch uses existing weld nuts in the vehicle frame and does not require drilling.
Yes. You must raise the vehicle with a hoist or ramps to access the underside of the vehicle where the hitch attaches to the frame.
Yes. You must support the exhaust system, remove the rear hangers, and lower the exhaust until the hitch can be positioned over the muffler tips and aligned with the existing weld nuts in the bottom of the frame. After installation, you must reinstall the rear hangers.
The hitch includes four M10 x 1.25 x 30mm Class 10.9 hex bolts and four 3/8" conical washers. These fasteners attach the hitch to the existing weld nuts in the vehicle frame.
No. During step 3, loosely install the M10 hex bolts with conical washers at all four attachment points. Tighten them fully only in step 4 using a torque wrench after all bolts are in place.
All M10 Class 10.9 fasteners must be tightened to 42 lb.-ft. (57 N·m) using a torque wrench.
The hitch aligns with and attaches to existing weld nuts located on both sides of the bottom of the frame. The hitch slots align with these weld nuts, and the four M10 bolts pass through the hitch and into these existing weld nuts.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual does not specify an exact interval, but regular inspection is essential for safe towing.
A damaged hitch or ball must be removed and replaced. Do not attempt to repair or continue using a damaged hitch.
If the hitch is removed, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes.
No. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. The hitch uses existing weld nuts in the frame and does not require drilling or cutting.
Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle and wear eye protection. The vehicle must be properly supported on a hoist or ramps. Support the exhaust system while removing and reinstalling hangers.
If additional exhaust clearance is required, bend the exhaust hanger rod appropriately. This adjustment should be made after the hitch is installed if needed.

Tighten all M10 Class 10.9 bolts to 42 lb.-ft. (57 N·m) using a torque wrench.
Yes, you must lower the exhaust system by removing the rear hangers to position the hitch over the muffler tips and align it with the frame weld nuts. Reinstall the hangers after installation.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. If removed, plug all body panel holes to prevent water and exhaust fume entry. Replace any damaged hitch or ball immediately.
The T-Connector is a trailer wiring adapter designed for the Hyundai Tucson. It allows you to connect a trailer to your vehicle's electrical system by intercepting the vehicle's taillight signals. The T-Connector plugs between the vehicle's factory taillight connectors and the taillights themselves, providing a 4-flat connector for trailer lights. It includes integrated fusing and power distribution to safely manage trailer lighting circuits.
Yes, the T-Connector (part 118501-037) is designed for the Hyundai Tucson. The manual does not specify which model years or trim levels are compatible, so contact the manufacturer or your installer to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle year and configuration.
You will need: trim panel remover, 10mm socket and ratchet (or 10mm wrench), drill with 3/32" drill bit, fish tape, test-probe, and utility knife. You will also need a heat source such as a hot air gun to activate the adhesive on the butt connectors during the power wire splice.
The T-Connector kit includes: two T-connector harness ends (one with yellow/brown wires, one with green/red wires), a yellow fuse holder with fuse, a black 12 ga. power wire, a red 12 volt power wire, a white ground wire, a yellow butt connector, cable ties, double-sided tape for mounting the black box, an eyelet and screw for the ground wire, and a 4-flat connector. Silicone rubber for sealing the grommet is not provided and must be sourced separately.
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected. Contact the manufacturer or your installer for guidance on this safety step before beginning installation.
Inside the vehicle's rear cargo area, you must temporarily remove all floor coverings, cargo trays, and the plastic threshold cover to access the driver-side trim panel and seat grommet. Do not remove the vehicle's side trim panels, as this could break the clips that hold them to the vehicle.
Open the tailgate and carefully pull each taillight assembly away from the vehicle to expose the vehicle wiring harness connectors in the pocket behind the taillight. Disconnect the vehicle wiring harness from both taillight sockets. Ensure all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt before proceeding.
Locate the grommet under the vehicle on the driver's side and remove it. Use fish tape to pull both T-connector ends and the power wire through the grommet hole from inside the vehicle, behind the driver-side trim panel and seat grommet. Route the yellow/brown T-connector end up into the driver-side taillight pocket. Route the green/red T-connector end over the bumper bracket, across the bumper, and into the passenger-side taillight pocket. Cable tie the harness to the bumper, avoiding hot pipes, heat shields, and areas that may damage the wire.
Some vehicles have a wire passing through the existing grommet. Unseat this grommet and leave it attached. Carefully slit the provided T-Connector's grommet as shown in the manual to allow the existing vehicle wire to pass through. Add silicone rubber (not provided) to seal the grommet.
Starting on the driver's side, plug the T-Connector harness containing the yellow wire in between the vehicle's mating connectors. Ensure that the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat this process on the passenger's side using the T-Connector containing the green wire.
Remove the fuse from the yellow fuse holder (provided). After cutting 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 ga. wire using the yellow butt connector (provided). Beginning from the front of the vehicle, route the black 12 ga. wire rearward along the frame rail, avoiding hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, and any other points that may pinch or break the wire.
Locate the red 12-volt power wire under the vehicle exiting the grommet. Using the butt connector provided, connect the black wire to the red 12-volt wire. Apply heat directly to the splice, working from the center out to the edges, using a hot air gun or other heat source, until the tubing recovers and the adhesive flows. This activates the adhesive in the heat-shrink butt connector.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing ground stud. If no existing ground stud is available, drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area before securing. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed.
Drilling is required only if no existing ground stud is available near the connector. If you must drill, you will need to drill a single 3/32" hole for the ground wire. Before drilling, verify what is behind any surface to avoid damage to the vehicle and/or personal injury. Do not drill into the vehicle floor, bed, or any exposed surfaces.
The drill bit size is 3/32". This hole is used to secure the white ground wire using the eyelet and screw provided with the kit.
On the driver's side, mount the T-Connector black 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.
Reinstall the plastic trim panels, threshold, storage covers, floor covering, and other items that may have been removed during installation, being careful not to pinch or cut the wires. Test and verify the installation with a test light or trailer once installed. Store the 4-flat connector in the spare tire compartment when not in use.
Do not exceed the lower of the vehicle manufacturer's rating or: maximum stop/turn light 1 per side (2.1 amps); maximum tail lights (5.6 amps). Overloading the circuit can cause fires. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual and the T-Connector instruction sheet for additional information.
Wear safety glasses and use all safety precautions during installation. Do not remove vehicle side trim panels, as this could break the clips that hold them to the vehicle. Before drilling, verify what is behind any surface to avoid damage to the vehicle and/or personal injury. Do not drill into the vehicle floor, bed, or any exposed surfaces. Avoid routing wires near hot pipes, heat shields, or the fuel tank. 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. All connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly. Use a test-probe (included in the required tools) to verify that all circuits are functioning correctly before towing.
Store the 4-flat connector in the spare tire compartment when not in use.
The T-Connector (118501-037) is designed for the Hyundai Tucson. Confirm your specific model year with the manufacturer or installer before purchasing.
Test the installation with a test light or trailer to verify all connections are working. Reinstall all trim panels and covers carefully to avoid pinching wires. Store the 4-flat connector in the spare tire compartment when not in use.
The kit includes two T-connector harness ends, yellow fuse holder with fuse, black and red power wires, white ground wire, yellow butt connector, cable ties, double-sided tape, eyelet and screw for ground, and 4-flat connector. Silicone rubber for the grommet is not included.
All connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly. Verify that: (1) both T-Connector harness ends are fully inserted into the vehicle's taillight connectors with locking tabs in place; (2) the yellow fuse holder is connected to the vehicle's positive (+) battery cable; (3) the black 12 ga. wire is connected to the red 12-volt power wire using the butt connector with heat-shrink adhesive properly activated; (4) the white ground wire is securely fastened to a ground point; (5) all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt. Test the installation with a test light or trailer to verify all circuits are functioning.
A blown fuse indicates an overcurrent condition in the T-Connector circuit. This means the trailer lighting load is exceeding the circuit capacity. Verify that you are not exceeding the maximum electrical load limits: maximum stop/turn light 1 per side (2.1 amps); maximum tail lights (5.6 amps). Do not exceed the lower of your vehicle manufacturer's rating or these limits. If the load is within limits, there may be a short circuit in the wiring or connectors that must be investigated before replacing the fuse.
