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. The manual explicitly states: "Hitch does not fit with full size spare tire." The spare tire must be lowered during installation and raised afterward, but a full-size spare tire will interfere with the hitch.
You will need: a ratchet, a torque wrench, safety glasses, 22 mm sockets, a flat head screwdriver, and a 3 inch socket extension. The manual recommends professional installation if you are not comfortable performing the work yourself.
The fastener kit 75225F includes six M14 CL10.9 bolts (1.50 x 45) and six 5/8 inch conical washers. These are the only fasteners required for installation.
The manual does not mention disconnecting the battery. This is a mechanical hitch installation that does not involve electrical work.

No. The manual instructs you to "loosely install" the M14 bolts and conical washers first. Only after all bolts are loosely installed should you use the torque wrench to tighten them to the final specification of 148 Lb.-Ft. (201 N·M).
All M14 CL10.9 fasteners must be tightened to 148 Lb.-Ft. (201 N·M) using a torque wrench. Proper torque is essential to keep the hitch securely mounted to the vehicle when towing.
The bolts are M14 CL10.9, measuring 1.50 x 45 mm. Six bolts are used, one for each weldnut attachment point.
The conical washers are 5/8 inch. Six washers are included, one for each bolt. The teeth side of the washer must face against the hitch.

Yes, the T-One T-Connector part 118628-037 is designed for the Acura MDX. The installation instructions are specific to this vehicle model.
The T-One T-Connector is an electrical connector system that provides a 4-flat trailer connector interface for your Acura MDX. It connects to your vehicle's electrical junction box and allows you to plug in a trailer or other towed equipment. The system includes a white connector that plugs into the vehicle's junction box and a black box module that houses the fuses and relays.
Two tools are required: a trim panel remover and a test probe. The trim panel remover is used to access the interior panels during installation, and the test probe is used to verify the electrical connections after installation.
Open the vehicle's rear tailgate and remove the cargo nets and cargo floor hatch to access the spare tire area. You may also find it helpful to fold the rear seat forward. You will need to access the cover to the relays and fuses in the junction box area.
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 in an area free of moisture and mounted high enough so it is not exposed to direct contact with water or any liquid substance.
Starting from the cargo area, route the white T-One T-Connector end up and behind the trim panel to the junction box area. Plug the white connector end into the mating connection in the electric junction box. Ensure all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt, do not damage the locking tabs, and verify that connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
Install a 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder supplied with the product (from step 3). Additionally, locate the fuse panel schematic on the inside of the box cover and insert fuses into positions 2 and 11 as shown in the diagram on the cover.
Route the 4-flat wire over to the jack storage area. Replace the black cargo liner and store the 4-flat wire in the jack compartment when not in use. Be careful not to pinch or cut the wires when reinstalling the threshold, storage covers, floor covering and other items removed during installation.
All connections must be complete for the T-One 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.
Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer rating (including in your vehicle owner's manual) or the specific amperage ratings stated on the product. Overloading circuits can cause fires. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual and the product labeling for the specific amperage limit.
Always wear safety glasses and use all safety precautions during installation. Read and follow all warnings and instructions included with the product before beginning. Read, understand and follow all warnings and instructions printed on the tow vehicle's battery.
All connector surfaces should be clean and free of dirt before connecting. Be careful not to damage the locking tabs and ensure that connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Verify that the connector surfaces match correctly.
If the fuse has not already been removed, remove it from the supplied fuse holder before routing the white T-One T-Connector end. You will reinstall this 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder after routing the connector.
