So, whether you are headed out to the campground, the lake, or the bike trails, or you are tackling a project at home and need to haul the materials home, 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.

No. Part number 75838 is designed for the Jeep Cherokee TrailHawk model only. It is not compatible with other Cherokee trim levels or model years not specified in the manual.
The kit includes: 6× M14 × 2.0 × 4.5mm CL10.9 bolts, 4× ½" conical washers, 6× 5/8" conical washers, 4× ½-13 hex nuts, 2× ¼" × 1-1/2" × 2" spacers (round hole), 2× ¼" × 1" × 2" spacers (square hole), 4× ½-13 × 1.75 GR5 carriage bolts, and 2× cable ties. Pull wire is also provided. The fastener kit is part number 75838F.
Required tools are: 21mm wrench, 22mm wrench, 3/4" wrench, torque wrench, screwdriver, pliers or trim tool, and the pull wire provided in the kit. No drill or drill bits are needed.
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected. Contact the manufacturer or a professional installer for guidance on this safety requirement.
No. The manual states "Drill Bits: None" and the installation uses existing frame rail holes and the reverse pull-wire method to install carriage bolts into square holes in the frame rails. No drilling is required.
The manual does not explicitly state whether the bumper or fascia must be removed. The instructions reference rotating the hitch over the exhaust and feeding pull wires through slots, but do not specify bumper removal as a required step. Consult the manufacturer or a professional installer for clarification.
All M14 CL10.9 fasteners must be tightened with a torque wrench to 92 Lb.-Ft. (125 N·M).
All ½-13 GR5 fasteners must be tightened with a torque wrench to 75 Lb.-Ft. (102 N·M).
The reverse pull-wire method is used to install carriage bolts into square holes in the frame rail. According to Figure 3: (A) Insert the bolt and block into the frame, (B) align the block on the access hole, and (C) pull the bolt through the block. The pull wire remains attached to the carriage bolt during this process and is removed only after the bolt is positioned and the conical washer and hex nut are ready to be installed.
When removing pull wires, place the washer over the pull wire and use it to hold the bolt in place while carefully removing the pull wire. Then attach the hex nut. This technique is used in steps 8 and 9 to secure the carriage bolts after they are positioned through the small bracket and hitch bracket.
1. Remove rubber plugs and detach vehicle wiring fasteners from frame rails (3 places each side). 2. Remove M14 bolts from outside of frame rails (2 each side) and return to owner. 3. Install small bracket using M14 bolts and conical washers (both sides). 4. Push brackets toward rear and tighten to torque spec. 5. Attach carriage bolts to pull wire and feed through small bracket slot. 6. Remove M14 bolts from bottom of frame rail and install carriage bolt and spacer using reverse pull-wire method. 7. Raise hitch into position over exhaust, feed pull wire through hitch bracket slot, and slide hitch over M14 bolt and spacer fasteners. 8. Remove pull wire from first carriage bolt and install conical washer and hex nut. 9. Remove pull wire from second carriage bolt and install conical washer and hex nut. 10. Tighten all fasteners to torque specification. 11. Secure vehicle wiring to forward hole on hitch bracket side using cable ties.
Step 7 instructs to raise the hitch into position rotating over the exhaust while being careful not to pinch or trap electrical wires. Vehicle wiring is attached to the frame rails and must be repositioned during installation. Pinching or trapping wires could damage the vehicle's electrical system and create a safety hazard.
After all fasteners are tightened, use the 2 cable ties included in the kit to secure the vehicle wiring to the forward hole on the side of the hitch bracket. This prevents the wiring from interfering with the hitch or becoming damaged.
The hitch has two capacity ratings depending on the ball mount type: Weight Distributing hitch: maximum gross trailer weight 6000 lb (2724 kg), maximum tongue weight 600 lb (272 kg). Weight Carrying Ball Mount: maximum gross trailer weight 5000 lb (2270 kg), maximum tongue weight 600 lb (272 kg). Do not exceed the lower of the towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or the hitch rating.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual does not specify the frequency of checks or a detailed inspection procedure beyond verifying fastener tightness.
If the hitch is removed, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes. This protects the vehicle's interior and mechanical systems from damage.
A hitch or ball which has been damaged should be removed and replaced. Do not attempt to repair a damaged hitch.
Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle and wear eye protection. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. Be careful not to pinch or trap electrical wires when raising the hitch into position.
Yes. The manual instructs to sort fasteners before installation. This helps ensure you use the correct fastener in each location and prevents installation errors.
Two M14 bolts are removed from the outside of each frame rail (2 each side, 4 total) in step 2. These fasteners are returned to the vehicle owner. One additional M14 bolt is removed from the bottom of each frame rail (1 each side, 2 total) in step 6 and is replaced with a carriage bolt and spacer.
The 75838 hitch is designed for the Jeep Cherokee TrailHawk model only. It is not compatible with other Cherokee trim levels.
You need 21mm, 22mm, and 3/4" wrenches, a torque wrench, screwdriver, pliers or trim tool, and the pull wire provided in the kit. No drill is required.
M14 CL10.9 bolts: 92 Lb.-Ft. (125 N·M). ½-13 GR5 carriage bolts: 75 Lb.-Ft. (102 N·M). Use a torque wrench for all fasteners.
Check frequently that all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. If the hitch is removed, plug all holes in the trunk pan or body panels to prevent water and exhaust fume entry.
Wear eye protection. Work safely beneath the vehicle. Do not cut holes with a torch. Do not pinch or trap electrical wires when raising the hitch. Replace any damaged hitch or ball.
Yes, this T-One® T-Connector is designed for the Jeep Cherokee. The installation instructions are specific to this vehicle model. However, verify your vehicle year and configuration match the manual before purchasing, as the manual does not specify which model years are supported.
The T-One® T-Connector is a trailer wiring harness that integrates with your vehicle's taillight system. It allows you to connect a trailer's lighting to your Jeep Cherokee's electrical system by intercepting the vehicle's taillight signals and converting them for trailer use.
You will need: T30 socket and ratchet, trim panel remover, 10mm socket and ratchet (or 10mm wrench), drill with 3/32" drill bit, 1/4" socket, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips head screwdriver, and a test probe. The manual does not specify whether a power drill or hand drill is required.
The kit includes: yellow wires and green wire connectors, a black converter box, white ground wire with eyelet and screw, yellow fuse holder with fuse, ring terminal, black 12 gauge wire, yellow butt connectors, cable ties, and double-sided tape for mounting the converter box. A bracket for the 4-Flat connector is not included.
Yes. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (−) battery cable before wiring the T-Connector to the positive battery cable. This is done in step 6 of the installation. The negative cable is reconnected in step 9 after the fuse holder is attached.
Open the tailgate and remove the four T30 bolts on each side of the taillight assembly. Carefully pry the housings away from the vehicle, being careful not to break the alignment tabs. The manual does not specify torque values for reinstallation.
Fish the T-One® T-Connector end with the yellow wires up between the bumper and vehicle body into the taillight pocket. Then plug it in between the mating plugs on the driver's side taillight socket and the vehicle wiring harness.
Route the T-One® T-Connector end with the green wire to the passenger's side. Route it up through the opening on the passenger side, being careful to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any other points that may pinch or break the wire. Then plug it in between the mating plugs on the passenger's side taillight socket and vehicle wiring harness, the same way as the driver's side.
Yes. You must drill a 3/32" hole to secure the white ground wire. Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector on a flat surface. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area first. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed, and do not drill into any exposed surfaces. Verify what is behind any surface before drilling to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury.
Drill a 3/32" hole at a suitable grounding point near the connector. Secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided in the kit. The grounding point should be on a flat surface away from the vehicle floor, bed, and exposed surfaces.
First, disconnect the vehicle's negative (−) battery cable. Remove the fuse from the yellow fuse holder if not already removed. 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 gauge wire using the yellow butt connector provided. Do not reconnect the negative battery cable until step 9.
Install a 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder. This is done in step 9 after the negative battery cable is reconnected.
Beginning from the front of the vehicle, route the black 12 gauge wire rearward along the frame rail. Be careful to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any other points that may pinch or break the wire. Route it to the rear driver's side and up through the opening between the vehicle rear bumper and body to reach the taillight area.
Route the black 12 gauge wire up through the opening between the rear bumper and vehicle body on the driver's side. Attach it to the black wire from the T-One® T-Connector black box using the supplied yellow butt connector.
On the driver's side, locate a flat surface in an out-of-the-way place and mount the black converter box with the double-sided tape provided. The epoxy side of the module must point toward the ground to prevent water buildup.
After reinstalling the taillight housing assemblies, secure the remainder of the T-One® T-Connector harness under the bumper with the cable ties provided. Be careful to avoid any areas that would cut or pinch the wire.
Mount the 4-Flat connector in a suitable location under the vehicle. The manual does not specify the exact location or provide a bracket; you will need to source a bracket separately.
Do not exceed the lower of your towing manufacturer's rating or these limits: maximum stop/turn light 2 per side (4.2 amps), 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.
Test and verify the installation with a test light or trailer once installed. Use the test probe tool included in your required tools to verify proper electrical connections.
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. Before drilling, verify what is behind any surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Route wires carefully to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or pinching.
No, the 4-Flat connector bracket is not included. You will need to source a suitable bracket separately.
Test and verify the installation with a test light or trailer. Use the test probe to check electrical connections at the taillight connectors and converter box. Verify that: 1) the 15 amp fuse is installed and not blown, 2) the negative battery cable is fully reconnected, 3) the yellow butt connectors are fully seated, 4) the black 12 gauge wire is properly connected to both the positive battery cable and the converter box black wire, 5) the white ground wire is securely fastened with the eyelet and screw, and 6) all taillight connectors are fully plugged in between the mating plugs.
The converter box must be mounted with the epoxy side pointing toward the ground to prevent water buildup. If water is accumulating, remount the box so that the epoxy side faces downward. Ensure the double-sided tape is securing the box firmly to a flat surface.
The manual warns to be careful not to break the alignment tabs when prying the taillight housings away from the vehicle. If tabs are broken, the housings may not seat properly when reinstalled. Consult the vehicle's service manual or a Jeep dealer for replacement taillight assemblies or repair options.
