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.

Yes, part number 36408 is designed for Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent, Saturn Vue, and GMC Terrain. The installation method varies slightly by vehicle: Saturn Vue requires carriage bolts and blocks to be pulled through the bumper using a pull wire, while Chevrolet Equinox and Pontiac Torrent use M12 bolts directly through the bumper mounting bracket. The manual does not specify whether GMC Terrain follows the Equinox/Torrent method or Saturn Vue method.
The maximum gross trailer weight is 3500 lb and the maximum tongue weight is 300 lb. However, you must not exceed the lower of this rating or your towing vehicle manufacturer's rating.
You will need wrenches in 18 mm, 19 mm, and 3/4 inch sizes. For Saturn Vue, an open-end 3/4 inch wrench is required. For Chevrolet Equinox, a 6-inch ratchet extension is required. A torque wrench is also needed to tighten fasteners to specification. No drill bits are required.
The kit includes: 6 M12 hex bolts, 6 conical washers, 2 carriage bolts (1/2-13), 2 hex nuts (1/2-13), 2 blocks (1-1/2 x 2 inch), and 1 pull wire. Due to different vehicle configurations, some hardware will be left over after installation.
The fascia door must be removed on Chevrolet Equinox (step 2) and replaced after installation (step 7). The manual does not specify whether the fascia door removal is required for Pontiac Torrent, Saturn Vue, or GMC Terrain.
If tie-down brackets are present on the vehicle frame rail, they must be removed before installation. Return the bolts and tie-down bracket to the vehicle owner.
1. Remove tie-down brackets if present. 2. Raise the hitch into position. 3. Hand-tighten all bolts. 4. Pull carriage bolts and small blocks through the end of the bumper using the pull wire, then feed them through the bumper mounting bracket. 5. Attach conical washer and nut. 6. Tighten all 1/2-13 GR5 fasteners to 75 Lb.-Ft. and all M12 CL8.8 fasteners to 68 Lb.-Ft. using a torque wrench.

All 1/2-13 GR5 fasteners must be tightened to 75 Lb.-Ft. (102 N·M) using a torque wrench.
Yes. Step 4 requires you to hand-tighten all bolts before using a torque wrench to tighten them to final specification in step 6.
No. The drawbar kit (part number 36051 or 90001) is sold separately. The drawbar must be used in the RISE position only.
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 that has been damaged should be removed and replaced.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual does not specify a retorque interval or post-installation inspection checklist beyond this general requirement.
No. The manual lists drill bits as "None" under Equipment Required. The hitch uses existing weld nuts in the bumper and frame, so no drilling is necessary.
Wiring access locations are: Chevrolet SUV3, Pontiac SUV3, and Saturn SUV1 or SUV2. The manual does not provide detailed wiring instructions or diagrams.
Yes, hitch 36408 is designed for all four vehicles. Installation method varies: Saturn Vue uses a pull-wire method, while Equinox and Torrent use direct M12 bolts through the bumper.
You need 18 mm, 19 mm, and 3/4 inch wrenches, a torque wrench, and (for Equinox) a 6-inch ratchet extension. No drilling is required.

No, the drawbar (part 36051 or 90001) is sold separately and must be used in RISE position only.
Yes, the T-Connector 118494-037 is designed for the Chevrolet Equinox. The installation instructions are specific to this vehicle model.
The T-Connector is a trailer wiring interface that allows you to connect a trailer to your Chevrolet Equinox. It taps into the vehicle's existing taillight wiring to provide power for trailer lights.
You will need: a trim panel remover, a 10mm socket and ratchet (or 10mm wrench), a drill with a 3/32" drill bit, and a test probe. Safety glasses are also required.
Yes. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable before proceeding with the electrical connections. This is done in step 5, before connecting the fuse holder to the positive battery cable.
Open the rear lift gate. On both the driver and passenger sides, remove two screws. Carefully pull the taillight away from the vehicle, being careful not to damage the alignment pins. Then disconnect the wire harness from the taillight sockets.
The T-Connector end with the yellow wire goes on the driver's side. Plug it in between the mating plugs on the driver's side taillight socket and vehicle wiring harness.
From 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 green wire end to the passenger's side and route the 4-flat underneath the bumper. Then route the green wire end up through the opening on the passenger side. Route carefully to avoid areas that could damage wiring.
The T-Connector end with the green wire is plugged into the passenger's side taillight socket, between the mating plugs on the taillight socket and vehicle wiring harness, the same way as the yellow wire on the driver's side.
Yes. You must drill a 3/32" hole to secure the white ground wire. However, you may also use an existing ground stud if one is available near the connector. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed, and do not drill into exposed surfaces. Always verify what is behind any surface before drilling to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing ground stud. If no stud is available, drill a 3/32" hole. 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.
The T-Connector uses a 10 amp fuse. The fuse holder is provided with the kit. Install the 10 amp fuse into the fuse holder after all wiring connections are complete and the negative battery cable has been reconnected.
After disconnecting the negative battery cable, remove the fuse from the yellow fuse holder provided. Cut the fuse holder wire and attach the ring terminal to the vehicle's positive (+) battery cable. Connect the other end of the fuse holder to the black 12 gauge wire using the yellow butt connector provided. Do not install the 10 amp fuse until all connections are complete and the negative battery cable is reconnected.
The black power wire is 12 gauge (12 ga.).
Beginning from the front of the vehicle, route the black 12 gauge wire rearward along the frame rail. Route it carefully to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any other points that may pinch or break the wire. Continue to the rear driver's side and locate the opening between the vehicle rear bumper and body. Route the wire up through this hole to the taillight area.
The black 12 gauge wire connects to the red wire from the T-Connector black box using the supplied yellow butt connector.
Mount the T-Connector black box behind the taillight assembly on the driver's side. Clean a flat area using a mixture of rubbing alcohol and water, then mount the black box using the double-sided tape provided.
Mount the 4-flat connector in a suitable location under the vehicle. A bracket is not included with the kit, so you will need to source an appropriate bracket separately.
Secure all loose wiring using the cable ties provided. After reinstalling the taillight housing assemblies, secure the remainder of the T-Connector harness with cable ties to prevent damage or rattling. Be 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 by connecting an actual trailer. All connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual and the instruction sheet for additional information.
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 is 5.6 amps. Overloading the circuit can cause fires. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual and instruction sheet for additional information.
Wear safety glasses during installation. Route all wiring carefully to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any other points that may pinch or break the wire. Before drilling, verify what is behind any surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into the vehicle floor, bed, or exposed surfaces. Disconnect the negative battery cable before making electrical connections.
