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, the 2013-2016 Ford Ranger Draw-tite Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2 Inch Square Receiver Bundle w/ Plug-n-Play T-One Wiring Harness (Part #DTB75790-118654) is designed to fit the 2013-2016 Ford Ranger.
The 2013-2016 Ford Ranger Draw-tite Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2 Inch Square Receiver Bundle w/ Plug-n-Play T-One Wiring Harness (Part #DTB75790-118654) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Part number 75790 is a hitch assembly for the Ford Ranger. It mounts to the frame rail and is designed to accommodate both weight-distributing and weight-carrying ball mounts. The manual does not specify which Ranger model years or generations are compatible; contact the manufacturer or your retailer to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle.
No. The manual explicitly states that relocation of the spare tire bracket is NOT required. However, you must purchase a 19 mm open-end wrench separately to allow removal of the spare tire after hitch installation.
The manual does not indicate interference with the spare tire itself. However, it notes that a 19 mm open-end wrench must be purchased to allow spare tire removal after hitch installation, suggesting the hitch may affect access. Confirm with the manufacturer or installer whether your specific Ranger configuration has clearance.
You will need wrenches in 11/16" and 19 mm sizes, and a torque wrench. The manual does not specify torque wrench type or range. A 19 mm open-end wrench must be purchased separately (not included) to allow spare tire removal after installation.
Fasteners are supplied in kit 75790F. The kit includes: 4× conical washers 1/2", 3× hex bolts M12 × 1.75 mm × 45 mm CL 10.9, 4× carriage bolts 7/16"-14 × 1-3/4" GR 5, 4× blocks 3/16" × 1" × 2", 4× conical washers 7/16", 4× hex nuts 7/16"-14, 4× pull wires 7/16"-14, 2× nut-block-handle assemblies, and 2× hex bolts M12 × 1.25 mm × 40 mm CL 10.9. The kit may include leftover fasteners.
Yes. Step 1 of the installation instructions states: "Remove existing (OE) tow bar bracket if equipped." The manual does not provide detailed removal instructions for the existing bracket.
Yes. Sheet 1 covers installation on vehicles with existing weld nuts on the frame rail. Sheet 2 covers installation on vehicles without existing weld nuts. The main difference is the order of steps: with existing weld nuts, you position the hitch first (step 2), then install blocks and carriage bolts (step 4). Without existing weld nuts, you install blocks and carriage bolts first (step 1), then position the hitch (step 2). Both procedures use the same fasteners and torque specifications.
The pull wire procedure is used to insert 7/16" carriage bolts through the frame rail and hitch attachment holes. The manual shows an example diagram but does not provide detailed written steps. In summary: install blocks and carriage bolts using pull wires, leaving the wires attached; position the hitch; use the pull wires to guide the carriage bolts through the hitch attachment holes; then remove the pull wires. The diagram shows kinking the pull wire to keep the block independent of the bolt.
Insert the nut-block-handle assembly through the opening in the rear of the frame rail and slide it over the rearmost hole. Make sure the assembly is flat on the surface of the frame rail. While holding it in place, install the M12 × 1.25 mm hex bolt and 1/2" conical washer. On vehicles without existing weld nuts, install one assembly on each side (both sides). Torque the M12 × 1.25 mm bolt to 130 Lb.-Ft. (176 N·M).
Tighten all M12 × 1.25 mm CL 10.9 fasteners with a torque wrench to 130 Lb.-Ft. (176 N·M).
Tighten all M12 × 1.75 mm CL 10.9 fasteners with a torque wrench to 92 Lb.-Ft. (125 N·M).
Tighten all 7/16" GR 5 fasteners with a torque wrench to 50 Lb.-Ft. (68 N·M).
The 75790 supports two configurations: Weight-Distributing hitch with max gross trailer weight of 6,000 lb (2,724 kg) and max tongue weight of 600 lb (272 kg); Weight-Carrying Ball Mount with max gross trailer weight of 4,000 lb (1,816 kg) and max tongue weight of 600 lb (272 kg). Do not exceed the lower of the towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or these hitch ratings.
Observe safety precautions when working beneath the vehicle and wear eye protection. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. The manual does not provide additional detail on lifting equipment, jack stands, or other safety measures.
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. Do not attempt to repair it.
Check the hitch frequently, making sure all fasteners and ball are properly tightened. The manual does not specify a retorque interval or detailed inspection checklist beyond fastener tightness.
Wiring access locations are PU3 and PU4 on the frame rail. The manual does not provide wiring diagrams, connector details, or installation instructions for trailer wiring.
The 75790 is designed for Ford Ranger frame rails. The manual does not specify model years or generations. Contact the manufacturer or your retailer to confirm fitment for your specific Ranger.

Yes, this T-Connector is designed for Ford Ranger. The manual confirms it is compatible with this vehicle model. Ensure your vehicle has a taillight wiring harness with connectors matching the T-Connector adapter ends before purchasing.
The T-Connector is a taillight wiring adapter that allows you to connect a trailer to your vehicle's electrical system. It taps into the vehicle's existing taillight wiring harness to provide power for trailer lights (stop, turn, and tail lights).
You need a 10mm socket and ratchet, or a 10mm wrench. The manual lists no other tools as required. You will also need a drill with a 3/32" bit for the ground wire installation.
The kit includes: two T-Connector ends (one with yellow wire, one with green wire), a black box (module), a 4-flat connector, cable ties, a white ground wire with eyelet and screw, a black 12 ga. power wire, a yellow fuse holder with 15 amp fuse, a ring terminal, and a yellow butt connector.
Yes. Step 8 requires you to disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable before connecting the power wire to the positive battery terminal. After all connections are complete, you reconnect the negative cable in step 9.
The taillight wiring harness is located near the rear of the frame. It will have connection points on both sides of the frame with connectors that match the T-Connector adapter ends. Separate these connections carefully without breaking the locking tabs.
The T-Connector end with the yellow wire goes on the driver's side. The T-Connector end with the green wire goes on the passenger's side. Both must be fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
Route the 4-flat connector to the center of the vehicle. Secure the black box (module) to the vehicle using the cable tie provided. Secure the remainder of the T-Connector harness with the cable ties provided to prevent damage, rattling, and to avoid areas that could cut or pinch the wire.
The epoxy side of the module must point toward the ground to prevent water buildup. The module must also be mounted in a protected area where it cannot be damaged by road debris or objects driven over.
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 the vehicle floor, bed, or any exposed surfaces. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area first.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the adapter, such as the vehicle frame or crossmember. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed. Drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided.
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 the black wire 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.
After disconnecting the negative battery cable, attach the ring terminal 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 fuse holder contains a 15 amp fuse. After all connections are complete, reconnect the negative battery cable and install the 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder.
Use a 15 amp fuse. The fuse holder is provided with the kit. Install the fuse into the fuse holder after reconnecting the negative battery cable.
Do not exceed the lower of your vehicle manufacturer's rating or: maximum stop/turn lights 2 per side (4.2 amps total); maximum tail lights (7.5 amps). Overloading the circuit can cause fires. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for additional information on electrical capacity.
All connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly. Test and verify the installation with a test light or by connecting a trailer once installed. This confirms that all wiring is correct and the system is working before towing.
Yes. After separating the taillight wiring connections, check that all surfaces are free of dirt and clean if necessary. This ensures good electrical contact when the T-Connector is inserted.
Wear safety glasses during installation. Read and follow all vehicle warnings and installation instructions before beginning. Read and follow all warnings and cautions printed on the tow vehicle's battery. Verify what is behind any surface prior to drilling to avoid damage to the vehicle and personal injury.
