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 2013-2016 Mazda CX-5 Draw-tite Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2 Inch Square Receiver Bundle w/ Plug-n-Play T-One Wiring Harness (Part #DTB76138-118563) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The 76138 hitch is designed for 2013-Current Mazda CX-5 models. Visit the Cequent website for the most up-to-date information regarding specific application years and trim levels, as compatibility may vary.
The 76138 is a weight-carrying hitch with a maximum gross trailer weight of 4500 lb (2043 kg) and a maximum tongue weight of 675 lb (306 kg). Do not exceed the lower of your towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or these limits.
No. The 76138 is a weight-carrying hitch and must not be used with weight-distributing spring bars.
Required tools are: ratchet, torque wrench, safety glasses, and 3/4" sockets. Optional tools include a 6" socket extension, universal joint socket, small flat-head screwdriver, exhaust removal pliers, pry bar, ratchet tie-down, and lubricant or soapy water.
Yes. The exhaust must be lowered by removing four rubber hangers and supported to prevent it from falling under its own weight. Spraying lubricant or soapy water on the metal hanger rod and rubber isolator helps with removal and reinstallation.
Plastic rivets may be present fastening the fascia tabs to the vehicle. If present, remove them by extracting the center of the rivet with a flat screwdriver. Keep the rivets for reinstallation after the hitch is installed.
The fastener kit (76138F) includes: four 1/2-13 x 1.25 GR5 carriage bolts, four 0.250 x 1 x 3 spacers, four 1/2" conical washers, four 1/2-13 GR5 hex nuts, and four 1/2-13 fish wires (pull wires).
Feed the coiled end of the pull wire through the forward attachment hole in the frame and out the access hole. Attach the spacer onto the pull wire and thread the carriage bolt onto the pull wire. Pull the pull wire with fasteners into location through the hole, leaving the pull wire attached. Repeat on both frame rails. The reverse pull wire procedure threads the carriage bolt into the access hole first, then feeds the spacer into the access hole, and pulls the carriage bolt into position through the spacer.
Raise the hitch above the exhaust and feed the pull wires through the attachment points on the hitch brackets. Gently pull the fascia rearward as needed to gain access between the fascia and exhaust hanger. Feed the conical washer over the pull wire, using the washer to hold the bolt in place, then remove the pull wires and attach the hex nut. Hand tighten both sides initially.
All 1/2 GR5 fasteners must be tightened to 75 lb-ft (102 N·M). A universal joint socket may be needed to tighten the rearward fasteners on both sides. Proper torque is essential to keep the hitch secure to the vehicle when towing.
Raise the exhaust back into position and remove the ratchet strap. Spraying lubricant or soapy water on the metal hanger rod and rubber isolator helps with reinstalling. Reinstall the plastic rivets if they were removed in step 2.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual does not specify a retorque interval, but periodic inspection is required to maintain secure mounting during towing.
Always wear your seatbelt. Slow down when towing and never exceed any posted speed limit. Load the trailer heavier in front. If excess sway occurs, take your foot off the gas pedal and hold the steering wheel as steady as possible. Do not apply your brakes and do not speed up. Do not exceed the lower of your towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or the hitch's maximum capacity of 4500 lb GVWR and 675 lb tongue weight.
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.
No cutting, welding, or modification of the receiver is permitted. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. The hitch uses a pull wire installation method that works with existing frame holes.
Always wear safety glasses when installing the hitch. Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle.

All 1/2 GR5 fasteners must be tightened to 75 lb-ft (102 N·M). A universal joint socket may be needed for rearward fasteners.
If present, plastic rivets fastening the fascia tabs must be removed. Keep them for reinstallation after the hitch is installed.
No. Do not cut, weld, or modify the receiver. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch.
Yes, this T-Connector is designed for the Mazda CX-5. The installation instructions are specific to this vehicle model.
The T-Connector is a trailer wiring adapter that connects to your vehicle's taillight wiring to provide power for trailer lights. It includes a black box-module that manages the electrical connections and a 4-flat connector for storage when not in use.
You will need: trim panel remover, 10 mm socket and ratchet or 10 mm wrench, drill with 3/32" bit, 1/4" socket, wire crimpers, wire cutters, and a test probe.
Yes. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (−) battery cable before making the final electrical connections to the battery. This is done in step 9, after all other connections are complete.
Yes. You must partially remove the plastic threshold cover, cargo trays, and rear interior trim panels on both the driver and passenger sides to access the vehicle's wiring behind the taillights. Several trim panel fasteners will need to be removed.
Yes. You must drill a 3/32" hole on the driver's side near the taillight connectors to secure the white ground wire with an eyelet and screw. Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces.
The black box-module must be mounted in the interior of the vehicle only, on a flat surface in an out-of-the-way location that is free of moisture and high enough to prevent direct contact with water or liquid. It must never be mounted on the exterior or in areas exposed to the elements or moisture, as this could cause serious damage to the vehicle and module.
Starting on the driver's side, separate the vehicle's wiring connectors behind each taillight housing. Attach the T-Connector end containing yellow, brown, and red wires to the driver's side connector. Route the T-Connector containing the green wire below the threshold cover to the passenger's side taillight housing and repeat the connection. Ensure connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place and do not damage the locking tabs.
The driver's side T-Connector end contains yellow, brown, and red wires. The passenger's side T-Connector end contains the green wire. These connect to the matching connection points on the back of each vehicle taillight housing.
Locate a suitable grounding point on the driver's side near the taillight connectors. Drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire with an eyelet using the screw provided. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces.
From inside the vehicle, connect the black 12 ga. wire from the T-Connector black box-module with the supplied yellow butt connector. 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. After disconnecting the negative battery cable, remove the fuse from the yellow fuse holder, cut the fuse holder wire, attach the ring terminal to the vehicle's positive (+) battery cable, and connect the other end of the fuse holder to the black 12 ga. wire using the yellow butt connector.
The yellow fuse holder is provided with the T-Connector. If not already removed, remove the fuse from it. Cut the fuse holder wire, attach the ring terminal to the vehicle's positive (+) battery cable, and connect the other end of the fuse holder to the black 12 ga. wire using the yellow butt connector provided.
Locate the T-Connector's grey 12-pin connector and insert it into the mating connector located on the black box-module. Ensure the mating surfaces of the wiring connectors match, that all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt, and that connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Be careful not to damage the locking tabs.
Do not exceed the lower of the vehicle manufacturer's rating or: maximum stop/turn light 2 per side (4.2 amps), or maximum tail lights (7.5 amps). Overloading the circuit can cause fires. Refer to 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's electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition. All connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly.
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.
Store the 4-flat connector in the trunk area when not in use.
Yes. Reinstall the plastic trim panels, threshold, storage covers, floor covering, and other items that may have been removed during installation. Be careful not to pinch or cut the wires.
You have two options: (1) Route the black wire through a grommet and along the exterior frame, or (2) follow the existing wiring along the thresholds into the engine compartment up to the battery. Either way, avoid areas that may pinch or break the wire. If routing through a grommet and along the exterior, be careful to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any other points that may pinch or break the wire.
Yes, the T-Connector (part 118563-037) is designed for the Mazda CX-5.
Trim panel remover, 10 mm socket/ratchet or wrench, drill with 3/32" bit, 1/4" socket, wire crimpers, wire cutters, and test probe.
Do not exceed: stop/turn light 2 per side (4.2 amps) or tail lights (7.5 amps). Overloading can cause fires.
Mount the black box-module inside the vehicle only, on a flat, dry surface away from moisture and water. Never mount it on the exterior.
