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 75742 is designed for Honda CR-V. The hitch is a weight-carrying ball mount with a maximum gross trailer weight of 4500 lb (2043 kg) and maximum tongue weight of 675 lb (306 kg). Do not exceed the lower of your vehicle manufacturer's towing rating or these limits.
No. The manual explicitly states this hitch is 'Not For Use With Spring Bars'. You must use a weight-carrying ball mount only.
The maximum gross trailer weight is 4500 lb (2043 kg) and the maximum tongue weight is 675 lb (306 kg). However, you must not exceed the lower of your vehicle manufacturer's towing rating or these limits.
You will need: tape, utility knife, tape measure, marking pencil, lubricant or soapy water, wrenches in 10mm, 17mm, and 11/16 sizes, and a small Phillips head screwdriver. A torque wrench is required to tighten fasteners to specification.
No drilling is required. The hitch uses existing weld nuts on the frame rails. The installation does require trimming of the driver-side appearance panel to clear the hitch, but no holes are drilled into the vehicle frame.
You do not need to remove the exhaust system completely, but you must lower it. Remove the rubber isolators from the muffler hangers—remove the outside isolator first, then the inside isolator. Spraying lubricant or soapy water on the metal hanger rod and rubber isolator helps with removal. After installing the hitch, raise the exhaust back into position and reinstall the rubber isolators.
The driver-side appearance panel must be trimmed. First, remove the panel by taking out 5 plastic rivets, 3 hex nuts, and 2 Phillips head screws located in the wheel well behind the driver-side rear tire. The panel is then trimmed to clear the hitch and reinstalled on the vehicle. The manual shows the trim area is 16.25 inches wide, 4.25 inches tall, 8.50 inches deep, and 3.00 inches from a reference point.
All M10 CL8.8 fasteners must be tightened with a torque wrench to 38 Lb.-Ft. (52 N*M).
All 3/8-16 GR5 fasteners must be tightened with a torque wrench to 30 Lb.-Ft. (41 N*M).
The fastener kit 75742F includes: 4 hex bolts M10×1.25×30 CL8.8 (item j), 4 conical washers (item k), 1 U-bolt 3/8-16 (item l), 2 flat washers 3/8" (item m), 2 lock washers (item n), 2 hex nuts 3/8" (item o), and 2 flat washers ½" (item p). The installation also uses existing weld nuts on the vehicle frame rails.
1. Run item 1 (the hitch) into existing weld nuts to clear the threads. 2. Tape flat washers (item 7) to the rearward weld nut location on both frame rails. 3. Raise the hitch into position. 4. Install M10 fasteners as shown. 5. Install the 3/8 U-bolt through the vehicle tie-down hook and through the tie-down hook attachment of the receiver, then install flat washer, lock washers, and 3/8 hex nuts. 6. Tighten all fasteners to the required torque specification. 7. Raise the exhaust back into position and reinstall rubber isolators.
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 which has been damaged should be removed and replaced.
Check the hitch frequently, making sure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. Verify that all fasteners have been tightened to the required torque specifications: M10 fasteners to 38 Lb.-Ft. (52 N*M) and 3/8-16 fasteners to 30 Lb.-Ft. (41 N*M).
Check the hitch frequently, making sure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual does not specify an exact interval, but recommends regular inspection as part of vehicle maintenance.

Yes, this T-Connector is designed for the CR-V. The manual does not specify model year range, so contact the manufacturer or your retailer to confirm compatibility with your specific CR-V generation.
The T-Connector is a wiring harness that integrates with your CR-V's electrical system. It includes a grey 12-pin connector that plugs into the vehicle's black box-module, a 4-flat connector for trailer lights, and a white ground wire. It allows you to connect a trailer or towed vehicle to your CR-V's lighting system.
You will need: trim panel remover tool, 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 test probe. Safety glasses are required.
Open the rear door and temporarily remove the rear threshold, cargo net, and cargo cover. Then use a trim panel remover tool to carefully remove two plastic panels and partially remove the main trim panel by removing the 10 mm bolt, 2 screws behind the seat lever, 1 clip, and 1 cargo hook (push in center). It may be helpful to fold the rear seat forward.
Mount the black box-module below the rear threshold in the spare tire compartment in an out-of-the-way place. The surface must be free of moisture and mounted high enough to prevent direct contact with water or liquid. The module must be mounted ONLY in the vehicle interior, never on the exterior or in areas exposed to elements or moisture, as this could cause serious damage to the vehicle and module.
Locate the T-Connector's grey 12-pin connector and insert it into the mating connector on the black box-module. Ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of dirt. Be careful not to damage the locking tabs and ensure connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
Mount the 4-flat connector in an accessible location. Route it through the driver-side trim panel into the side storage compartment and store it there when not in use. If routing through a grommet and along the vehicle exterior, carefully avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, and any other points that may pinch or break the wire.
Drilling may be required for the ground wire. On the driver's side, locate a suitable grounding point near the connector such as an existing ground stud, or drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed. Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area.
A 7.5 amp fuse is provided and must be placed in the fuse compartment under the driver-side dash. An additional 5 amp fuse is located on the harness near the black box-module. Do not exceed the manufacturer's circuit rating, as overloading can cause fires.
The white wire is the ground wire. It must be secured to a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing ground stud, or secured using the eyelet and screw provided in a 3/32" drilled hole. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed.
Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer's rating or: maximum 1 stop/turn light per side (2.1 amps), or maximum tail lights (5 amps). Overloading the circuit can cause fires. Read your vehicle's owner's manual and instruction sheet for additional information.
Test and verify the 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, then re-insert the key and turn it to the proper position. Ensure all wires are properly secured and not pinched or cut during reinstallation of the threshold, trim panel, cargo net, and cover.
Before connecting the T-Connector's grey 12-pin connector to the vehicle's black box-module, verify that the mating surfaces of both the vehicle wiring connectors and the T-Connector ends match. All connector surfaces must be clean and free of dirt. Be careful not to damage the locking tabs.
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. When reinstalling trim panels and covers, be careful not to pinch or cut the wires.
Yes, it is designed for the CR-V. Confirm the specific model year with the manufacturer or retailer.
Trim panel remover, 10 mm socket/ratchet or wrench, 3/32" drill bit, 1/4" socket, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips screwdriver, test probe, and safety glasses.
Possibly. You may drill a 3/32" hole for the ground wire if no existing ground stud is available. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed, and verify what is behind the surface first.
A 7.5 amp fuse goes in the driver-side dash fuse compartment. An additional 5 amp fuse is on the harness near the black box-module.
