These dependable custom hitches are manufactured for 2012-2015 Mazda 5 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 1 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.

You will need: wrenches (11/16" and two 3/4"), a drill with a 3/8" or 1" hole saw or cutting tool, a small screwdriver, masking tape, and paint. Pullwires are provided with the hitch. A torque wrench is required to tighten fasteners to specification.
The hitch includes: 1 U-bolt (3/8-16"), 2 flat washers (3/8"), 2 lock washers (3/8"), 2 hex nuts (3/8-16), 1 bolt (½-13 × 1.75 GR5), 1 conical washer (½"), 1 hex nut (½-13), 2 carriage bolts (7/16-14 × 1-3/4" GR5), 2 conical washers (7/16"), 2 hex nuts (7/16-14), 2 spacers (¼" × 1" × 3"), 1 spacer (¼" × 1" × 1-1/2"), and pullwires. A fastener kit (24874F) is available separately. The drawbar kit (3592) and fascia are sold separately.
Yes. You must enlarge the forward access hole or drill a 1" access hole in the bottom of the passenger side frame rail between the attachment holes for bolts and spacers. You will also need to remove two plastic rivets from the fascia tabs and reattach them after installation. Any exposed metal from drilling must be painted.
Drill a 1" access hole in the bottom of the passenger side frame rail between the attachment holes for bolts and spacers. You may also enlarge an existing forward access hole instead. See Figure 2 in the manual for the enlargement method. Paint any exposed metal after drilling.
No. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. Use a drill with a 3/8" or 1" hole saw or other cutting tool instead.
1. Remove the two plastic rivets from the fascia tabs and push the fascia toward the impact bar. 2. Enlarge or drill the 1" access hole in the passenger side frame rail and paint exposed metal. 3. Feed spacers and carriage bolts into position using the provided pullwires; leave the pullwire attached. 4. Pull the heat shield away from the end panel and tape sharp edges. 5. Hang the U-bolt on the tow hook. 6. Raise the hitch into position and maneuver the upright bar between the end panel and heat shield; attach with flat washer, lock washer, and hex nut (leave snug). 7. Feed pullwires through the passenger side bracket slots, shift the bracket into place, pull fasteners through, remove one pullwire at a time, and attach conical washer and hex nut. 8. Insert the ½-13 bolt through the spacer and end panel into the upright bar slot; attach conical washer and hex nut. 9. Tighten all fasteners to torque specification. 10. Reattach the fascia. 11. Push the heat shield back into position.
Use the provided pullwires to feed the spacers and carriage bolts into position. It is much easier if the bolt and spacer are not engaged (not threaded together) while inserting them into the frame. Leave the pullwire attached to the fasteners during insertion. See Figures 3 and 4 for the insertion method.
It is much easier to insert the bolt and spacer into the frame if they are not engaged (not threaded together). Once they are in position, you will then attach the conical washer and hex nut to secure them.
The heat shield has sharp edges. Use masking tape on the heat shield edges before pulling it away from the end panel to allow access for the hitch upright bar. After installation, push the heat shield back into its original position.
Remove the two plastic rivets that fasten the fascia tabs to the trunk pan by removing the center of each rivet with a screwdriver and removing the remaining piece. The rivets are to be reinstalled. After hitch installation is complete, reattach the fascia back into position.
When you first attach the U-bolt to the tow hook with the flat washer, lock washer, and hex nut, leave the fasteners snug (hand-tight). Tighten all fasteners to their required torque specifications only after all other components are in place (Step 9).
Feed the pullwires through the slots of the passenger side bracket. Shift the bracket into the location shown in the manual. Pull the fasteners through the bracket. Remove one pullwire at a time (being careful not to push the fasteners into the frame rail) and attach the conical washer and hex nut as shown. Repeat with the remaining fastener.
Orient the spacer as shown in the manual illustration. Insert the ½-13 bolt into the spacer, reach behind the end panel, insert the bolt through the hole in the end panel and slot in the upright bar, and attach the conical washer and hex nut.

Yes, the T-Connector 118520-037 is designed for Mazda CX-9, Mazda 2, and Mazda 5 vehicles. The installation instructions include vehicle-specific steps for locating the taillight wiring harness on each model (h-1 for CX-9, h-2 for Mazda 2, h-3 for Mazda 5).
The T-Connector is a wiring interface that connects to the vehicle's taillight harness to enable trailer lighting control. It includes a converter box, multiple connector ends with different wire colours (yellow, brown, green), a 4-flat connector for the trailer plug, and power/ground wiring to the vehicle battery.
Required tools are: test-probe, trim panel puller, drill with 3/32" drill bit, 10 mm socket, ratchet, wire cutter, wire crimper, and Phillips head screwdriver.
The T-Connector includes: the connector assembly with yellow, brown, and green wire ends; a black converter box; a 4-flat connector; a red 12 gauge power wire; a black 12 gauge wire; a white ground wire with eyelet and screw; a yellow fuse holder with 10 amp fuse; a yellow butt connector; cable ties; and double-sided tape for mounting the converter box.
Yes. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (−) battery cable before connecting the power wiring. The negative cable is reconnected in Step 11 after the fuse holder and connections are complete.
Open the rear door and fold the rear seat forward. Remove the threshold, trunk floor panels, and trays. On both sides of the vehicle, remove cargo loops and Phillips head screws so the trim panels can be carefully pulled away. Set aside all removed items carefully to avoid damage.
On the driver's side, locate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness (location varies by model: h-1 for CX-9, h-2 for Mazda 2, h-3 for Mazda 5). Separate the connectors carefully without breaking the locking tabs. Verify that the mating surfaces match the T-Connector ends and are clean and free of dirt. Attach the T-Connector end containing yellow and brown wires first, ensuring connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Then route the T-Connector containing the green wire below the threshold cover to the passenger's side taillight housing and repeat the connection process.
Route the 4-flat connector through the driver's side trim panel into the storage compartment on the threshold and store it there when not in use. When in use, pull the 4-flat connector through the door.
On the driver's side, locate a flat surface in an out-of-the-way place and mount the T-Connector's black converter box using the double-sided tape provided.
Yes. A 3/32" hole must be drilled 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 the vehicle floor or bed, and do not drill any exposed surfaces. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area before drilling.
A 3/32" drill bit is required to drill the hole for securing the white ground wire with the eyelet and screw provided.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as the vehicle's frame or cross member. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area. Drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided.
Locate the red 12 gauge power wire from the T-Connector box on the driver's side and attach the black 12 gauge wire provided. Route the black wire either through a grommet and along the exterior frame, or follow existing wiring along the thresholds into the engine compartment up to the battery, avoiding areas that may pinch or break the wire. Disconnect the vehicle's negative battery cable. Remove the fuse from the yellow fuse holder if not already removed. 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.
A 10 amp fuse is installed in the yellow fuse holder provided with the T-Connector.
The T-Connector uses yellow and brown wires for the driver's side taillight connection, and a green wire for the passenger's side taillight connection. A red 12 gauge wire provides power from the converter box, a black 12 gauge wire connects to the vehicle battery positive terminal, and a white wire provides the ground connection.
Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer rating or: maximum 1 stop/turn light per side (2.1 amps), and maximum tail lights (5.6 amps). Overloading the circuit can cause fires.
All connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly. Test and verify installation with a test light or trailer once installed. For the initial test, reset the vehicle electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition.
Secure the remainder of the T-Connector harness with the cable ties provided to prevent damage or rattling. Be careful to avoid any areas that would pinch, cut, or melt the wire. Reinstall the plastic trim panels, threshold, storage covers, floor covering, and other items removed during installation, being careful not to pinch or cut the wires.
Wear safety glasses and use all safety precautions during installation. Before drilling, verify what is behind any surface to avoid damage to the vehicle and personal injury. Do not drill into the vehicle floor, bed, or exposed surfaces. Be careful not to pinch the harness in the door latch. If routing the black power wire through a grommet and along the exterior of the vehicle, avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any other points that may pinch or break the wire. Read and follow all warnings and cautions printed on the tow vehicle's battery.
You may either route the black wire through a grommet and along the exterior frame, or follow the existing wiring along the thresholds into the engine compartment up to the battery. Both routes must avoid areas that may pinch or break the wire. If using the exterior route, be careful to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any other points that may pinch or break the wire.
