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.

Required tools are: trim panel remover, 10mm socket and ratchet or 10mm wrench, drill with 3/32" drill bit, 1/4" socket, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips head screwdriver, and test probe.
The T-Connector kit includes: T-Connector box with yellow and green wire ends, red 12 ga. power wire, black 12 ga. wire, white ground wire with eyelet, yellow fuse holder with 10 amp fuse, yellow butt connector, mounting screw for ground eyelet, and cable ties for securing the harness.
Yes. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable before connecting the power wire to the positive battery terminal. This is done in step 9 before attaching the fuse holder ring terminal to the positive cable. Reconnect the negative cable in step 10 after the fuse holder is installed.
You must remove: both taillights (driver and passenger side), grommets on both sides, all floor coverings and cargo trays from the rear cargo area, and partially remove the rear interior trim panels on both sides. Set all removed items aside carefully to avoid damage.
Locate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connectors on both driver and passenger sides. These connectors match the ends of the T-Connector. Separate the vehicle's connectors carefully without breaking the locking tabs. Ensure all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt. Insert the T-Connector ends (yellow wire on driver's side, green wire on passenger's side) between the vehicle wiring connectors and lock into place, ensuring locking tabs are fully seated.
Route the T-Connector end with yellow and brown wires through the grommet on the driver's side from the cargo compartment. Route the green wire end to the passenger's side behind the panels and along the threshold. The black 12 ga. power wire should be routed through the taillight socket opening and behind the bumper, then along the exterior frame or following existing wiring along thresholds into the engine compartment up to the battery, avoiding areas that may pinch or break the wire.
Yes. You must drill one 3/32" hole on the driver's side near the connectors to secure the white ground wire with an eyelet using the screw provided. Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces.

A yellow fuse holder with a 10 amp fuse is installed between the black wire and the positive battery connection using a yellow butt connector.
The white ground wire is secured to a suitable grounding point on the driver's side near the connectors using an eyelet and screw provided. A 3/32" hole is drilled at the grounding location, and the eyelet is fastened with the provided screw.
Always wear safety glasses during installation. Before drilling, verify what is behind any surface to avoid damage to the vehicle and personal injury. Do not drill into exposed surfaces. Be careful not to damage locking tabs when connecting the T-Connector to the vehicle's taillight harness. Avoid routing wires through areas that may pinch, cut, or melt the wire. Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer rating (including in your vehicle owner's manual) or the specific amperage ratings stated on the product.
