These dependable custom hitches are manufactured for 2008-2016 Chrysler Town Country, 2008-2020 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2012-2015 RAM C/V, 2009-2014 Volkswagen Routan 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 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.

The 2011-2016 Chrysler Town & Country Draw-tite Class 2 Trailer Hitch, 1-1/4 Inch Square Receiver Bundle w/ Plug-n-Play T-One Wiring Harness (Part #DTB36455-118534) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Hitch 36455 is designed for 2007, 2008, 2009, 2014, and 2015 Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan, VW Routan, and RAM C/V Tradesman. Check your vehicle's year and model against this list. If your vehicle is not listed, contact the manufacturer or a fitment specialist to confirm compatibility.
The hitch 36455 is rated for a maximum gross trailer weight of 3500 lb (1589 kg) and a maximum tongue weight of 300 lb (136 kg). However, you must not exceed the lower of the hitch rating or your vehicle manufacturer's towing rating. Always consult your vehicle's owner manual for its specific towing capacity.
You will need wrenches in 13 mm, 15 mm, and 18 mm sizes, and a torque wrench. No drill bits are required because the hitch uses existing frame bolts on the vehicle—no new holes need to be drilled.
You do not need to fully remove the exhaust, but you must lower it first. Remove the bolt that attaches the rearmost exhaust hanger bracket to the passenger's side frame rail and retain it. After the hitch is installed and tightened, raise the exhaust back into position and reinstall that bolt. Rotating the exhaust hanger bracket before tightening will add clearance between the side bracket and exhaust if needed.
Yes. On some vehicles, air conditioning lines are very close to the hitch attachment point on the passenger's side. Be careful not to damage these lines during installation. The manual includes a plastic loom to snap in place over the AC line on the passenger's side near the bolt if present. See the installation instructions for the location and proper placement of this protective loom.
No. The hitch 36455 uses all existing bolts from your vehicle's frame rails. You will remove four existing bolts (two from the driver's side frame rail and two from the passenger's side frame rail) and reuse them to attach the hitch. A separate fastener kit 36455F is available if you need additional hardware.
1. Lower the exhaust by removing the bolt from the rearmost hanger bracket on the passenger's side frame rail. 2. Snap the plastic loom over the AC line on the passenger's side if present. 3. Remove the four existing bolts from the frame rails (two driver's side, two passenger's side). 4. Raise the hitch into position and attach with the existing bolts, hand-tightened. 5. Push the hitch toward the driver's side so the passenger's side bracket is against the trunk pan, then tighten all fasteners to specification. 6. Raise the exhaust back and reinstall the bolt removed in step 1.
Tighten all M10 CL10.9 fasteners to 53 lb-ft (72 N·m) using a torque wrench. Tighten all M12 CL10.9 fasteners to 92 lb-ft (125 N·m) using a torque wrench. These specifications apply to all frame rail attachment bolts.
After installation, check that all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual recommends checking the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners remain tight. If the hitch is removed at any time, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent water and exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle.
The drawbar kit 36455 (part number 36061) is sold separately and is not included with the hitch. The drawbar must be used in the Rise position only. Contact your supplier or the manufacturer to order the drawbar if needed.
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 immediately.
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 recommended to maintain safe towing operation.
No. The hitch 36455 requires no drilling. It uses all existing bolts from your vehicle's frame rails. The equipment required list explicitly states 'Drill Bits: None'.
Pushing the hitch toward the driver's side ensures that the passenger's side bracket is fully seated up against the trunk pan. This positioning is required before tightening all fasteners to specification. This step ensures proper alignment and load distribution.
Hand-tighten the bolts first after raising the hitch into position. Then push the hitch toward the driver's side so the passenger's side bracket is against the trunk pan. Only after this positioning step should you tighten all fasteners to the specified torque values using a torque wrench.
Yes, if your vehicle is a 2007, 2008, 2009, 2014, or 2015 model year. The hitch is also compatible with Dodge Grand Caravan, VW Routan, and RAM C/V Tradesman of the same years.
You need 13 mm, 15 mm, and 18 mm wrenches, plus a torque wrench. No drill bits are required.
No. The hitch uses all existing bolts from your vehicle's frame rails. You remove four existing bolts and reuse them to attach the hitch.
M10 CL10.9 fasteners: 53 lb-ft (72 N·m). M12 CL10.9 fasteners: 92 lb-ft (125 N·m). Use a torque wrench for all fasteners.
Maximum gross trailer weight: 3500 lb (1589 kg). Maximum tongue weight: 300 lb (136 kg). Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's towing rating.
Wear eye protection. Do not cut holes with a torch. Work safely beneath the vehicle. Check the hitch frequently after installation to ensure all fasteners and the ball are tight.
The T-Connector is a wiring adapter that allows you to connect a trailer to your Chrysler Town & Country. It intercepts the vehicle's taillight signals and provides a 4-Flat connector for the trailer harness. The adapter includes a black box module that manages the electrical connection and includes a fuse holder for circuit protection.
Yes, this T-Connector is designed for the Chrysler Town & Country. The manual does not specify model years, so contact the manufacturer or your installer to confirm compatibility with your specific year and configuration.
You will need: Torx-30 screwdriver, trim panel remover, 10 mm socket and ratchet (or 10 mm wrench), drill with 3/32" bit, 1/4" socket, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips head screwdriver, and a test probe. Safety glasses are also required.
The kit includes two T-Connector adapters (one with yellow wire for driver's side, one with green wire for passenger's side), a 4-Flat connector harness, a black box module, a white ground wire with eyelet and screw, a black 12 ga. power wire, a yellow fuse holder with 10 amp fuse, a yellow butt connector, double-sided tape, and cable ties.
No. The manual states that the 4-Flat connector end should be mounted in an accessible location with a bracket or electrical box, but notes that these are "not included." You will need to source these separately.
Yes. You must disconnect and isolate the vehicle's negative battery terminal before connecting the power wire to the positive battery terminal. This is done in Step 7. After the fuse holder is connected to the positive terminal, you reconnect the negative cable and install the 10 amp fuse.
Yes. You must open the rear tailgate and remove the T-30 Torx screws holding the taillight housings in place, then carefully pry the housings rearward away from the vehicle. Be careful not to break the alignment tabs. The taillight assemblies are reinstalled at the end of the installation.
On the driver's side, separate the vehicle's wiring connectors carefully (do not break the locking tabs). Insert the T-Connector end with the yellow wire between the vehicle wiring connectors and lock into place. Ensure connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs engaged. Repeat this process on the passenger's side using the T-Connector with the green wire.
Route the harness containing the green wire and 4-Flat connector down the opening behind the taillight on the driver's side. Route the 4-Flat harness to the center of the vehicle. Route the harness containing the green wire underneath the vehicle and up through the opening behind the passenger's side taillight. Mount the 4-Flat end in an accessible location with a bracket or electrical box (not included).
Route wires carefully to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any other points that may pinch or break the wire. The manual emphasizes this warning twice—once for the green wire harness and again for the black power wire. Avoid areas where wires could be cut or pinched during reassembly.
Yes. You must drill a 3/32" hole to secure the white ground wire. Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces. Secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided.
The T-Connector uses a 10 amp fuse. This fuse is installed in the yellow fuse holder (provided) after the fuse holder is connected to the vehicle's positive battery terminal. The fuse protects the circuit from overload.
The T-Connector includes: yellow wire (driver's side T-Connector adapter for taillight signal), green wire (passenger's side T-Connector adapter for taillight signal), white wire (ground connection to vehicle frame), and black 12 ga. wire (power connection from vehicle battery). The 4-Flat connector harness carries the trailer signals to the trailer.
Locate the black 12 ga. power wire from the T-Connector box on the driver's side. Attach the black 12 ga. wire provided. Route it through the opening in the taillight socket, behind the bumper, along the exterior frame or following existing wiring along the thresholds into the engine compartment up to the battery. After disconnecting the negative battery terminal, remove the fuse from the yellow fuse holder, cut 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.
The yellow butt connector (provided) is used to connect the fuse holder to the black 12 ga. power wire. This connection is made after the fuse holder's ring terminal is secured to the vehicle's positive battery cable.
Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer's rating or: maximum 2 stop/turn lights per side (4.2 amps total per side) and maximum tail lights (7.5 amps). Overloading the circuit can cause fires. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual and instruction sheet for additional information.
Mount the T-Connector black box on the driver's side using the double-sided tape provided. The epoxy side of the module must be pointed toward the ground to prevent water buildup. Secure the remainder of the harness with the cable ties provided to prevent damage, rattling, and to avoid areas that would cut or pinch the wire.
Test the installation with a test light or trailer. All connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly. This test should be performed before the taillight assemblies are fully reinstalled.
Reinstall the taillight assemblies and other items removed during installation, being careful not to pinch or cut the wires. Ensure all connections are secure and the T-Connector functions properly with a test light or trailer before considering the installation complete.
This T-Connector is designed for the Chrysler Town & Country. Confirm your specific model year with the manufacturer or installer before purchasing.
You need: Torx-30 screwdriver, trim panel remover, 10 mm socket/ratchet or wrench, drill with 3/32" bit, 1/4" socket, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips screwdriver, test probe, and safety glasses.
Yes. You must disconnect the negative battery terminal before connecting the power wire to the positive terminal. Reconnect it after the fuse holder is installed with the 10 amp fuse.
The T-Connector uses a 10 amp fuse in the yellow fuse holder provided.
Maximum 2 stop/turn lights per side (4.2 amps per side) and maximum tail lights (7.5 amps). Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer's rating or these limits.
Test with a test light or trailer before fully reassembling the taillight housings. All connections must be complete for proper function.
Verify that all connections are complete and secure. The manual states that all connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly. Check that: (1) both T-Connector adapters are fully inserted into the vehicle taillight connectors with locking tabs engaged, (2) the 4-Flat connector is properly mounted and connected, (3) the white ground wire is securely fastened, (4) the black power wire is connected to the battery positive terminal through the fuse holder with the 10 amp fuse installed, and (5) the negative battery cable is reconnected. Test with a test light or trailer to verify function.
The black box module was not mounted correctly. The epoxy side of the module must be pointed toward the ground to prevent water buildup. Remount the module using the double-sided tape provided, ensuring the epoxy side faces downward.
