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.

Required tools are: ratchet, torque wrench, safety glasses, 10 mm socket, 14 mm socket, 6-inch socket extension, utility knife, tape measure, marker, Phillips head screwdriver, and flat head screwdriver.
The average installation time for professional installers is 45 minutes. If you are not comfortable performing the installation yourself or need assistance, contact a professional installer.
Yes. Removing the tail lights is the first step of installation. Open the liftgate, remove the plastic tail light cover using flat head and Phillips head screwdrivers to remove 2 screw-type push pins on each side, use a 10 mm socket to remove 2 screws from each tail light, then pull the tail light rearward and remove 2 bulbs and 1 electrical connector from each side.
Yes. After removing the fascia, remove the foam fascia support from the bumper to expose access holes. Using a 14 mm socket, remove 4 nuts from each side (8 total) and save them for hitch installation. The bumper beam is then raised into position with the hitch onto the studs in the end panel.
Yes. The fascia must be removed to access the bumper beam mounting points. Save all fasteners for reinstallation. After hitch installation, the fascia is trimmed and reinstalled.
No drilling is required. The hitch uses existing mounting studs in the end panel. However, the fascia must be trimmed. Using a marker and tape measure, mark a 4½ by 4 inch box on the bottom center of the fascia. To find the center, measure 2 inches toward the driver side from the middle hole on the fascia and mark the centerline, then make marks 2 inches on each side of the centerline. Measure 4½ inches from the forward edge of the fascia.
All 10 mm × 1.25 flange nuts must be tightened with a torque wrench to 42 lb-ft (57 N·m). Proper torque is essential to keep the hitch secure to the vehicle when towing.
Loosely reinstall the 8 flange nuts (4 each side) when raising the hitch into position in Step 4. Tighten all 10 mm × 1.25 flange nuts to 42 lb-ft (57 N·m) using a torque wrench only in Step 5, after the hitch and bumper beam are positioned on the studs.
The center fascia tab must be bent flat against the end panel before raising the hitch into position. This allows the hitch and bumper beam to fit properly onto the studs in the end panel.
Yes. When removing the bumper beam in Step 3, use a 14 mm socket to remove 4 nuts from each side and save all 8 nuts for hitch installation. These same nuts are reinstalled in Step 4 to secure the hitch.
The fastener kit 76227F is referenced in the manual, but the manual does not specify which fasteners are included or whether the kit is sold separately from the hitch. Contact Horizon Global at 800-632-3290 or TechnicalSupport@horizonglobal.com for details on fastener kit contents.
If mud flaps are installed on your vehicle, they must be removed during fascia removal (Step 2) and reinstalled in Step 8 when reinstalling the fascia. The manual notes that if mud flaps are present at the bottom of the wheel well and fascia, you must remove 3 screws and 2 push pins from each side during removal.
After installation, verify that all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual recommends checking the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners remain tight and the hitch is securely mounted to the vehicle. If the hitch is removed at any time, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes.

Do not apply your brakes and do not speed up.
No. Do not cut, weld, or modify the receiver. Any damaged hitch should be removed and replaced.
Reverse the order of Step 1 (tail light removal). Reinstall the tail lights, fascia, and mud flaps if equipped.
