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 kit includes: 2 carriage bolts ½-13 × 1.75 GR5, 2 carriage bolts 7/16-14 × 1.75 GR5, 2 spacers 1/4" × 1-1/2" × 3", 2 spacers 1/4" × 7/8" × 3", 2 conical washers ½", 2 conical washers 7/16", 2 hex nuts ½-13, 2 hex nuts 7/16-14, and pull wires. A separate fastener kit 75852F is also available.
You will need: wrenches in 11/16" and 3/4" sizes, a torque wrench, and eye protection. The pull wires needed for installation are provided with the hitch. No drill bits are required as no drilling is necessary for this installation.
No, drilling is not required. The manual lists "Drill Bits: None" under Equipment Required. The hitch uses existing access holes in the frame rails and body panels.
1. Feed all spacers and carriage bolts into position using the provided pull wires in each frame rail, keeping the pull wire attached. Do not engage the bolt and spacer while inserting them into the frame. 2. Raise the hitch into position and feed the pull wires through the adjacent holes on the hitch. 3. Carefully remove the pull wires one at a time, placing the washer over the pull wire to hold the bolt in place while removing the wire, then attach the hex nut. 4. Tighten all fasteners to the required torque specification.
Tighten all ½-13 GR5 fasteners with a torque wrench to 75 Lb.-Ft. (102 N·M).
Tighten all 7/16-14 GR5 fasteners with a torque wrench to 50 Lb.-Ft. (68 N·M).
The hitch has two ratings depending on type: Weight Distributing hitch supports a maximum gross trailer weight of 4000 lb (1816 kg) with a maximum tongue weight of 400 lb (182 kg).

The T-One® T-Connector is a wiring harness adapter that allows you to connect a trailer to your vehicle's electrical system. It interfaces with your vehicle's existing taillight wiring to provide power for trailer lights. The system includes a black control module, color-coded wires (yellow, green, white, and black), connectors, and a 15-amp fuse holder.
Yes, the T-One® T-Connector part number 118613-037 is designed for the Ford Transit Connect. This is the only vehicle application listed in the manual.
You will need: 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. These tools are required to remove access panels, disconnect and reconnect wiring, drill the ground hole, and test the installation.
The kit includes: two T-Connector harnesses with color-coded wires (yellow and green), a black control module, a white ground wire with eyelet, a black 12-gauge power wire, a yellow fuse holder with 15-amp fuse, a yellow butt connector, double-sided tape for mounting the module, cable ties for securing the harness, a screw for the ground eyelet, and a 4-flat connector for storage when not in use.
Yes. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable before connecting the power wire to the positive battery terminal. This is done in step 8. After all connections are complete and the fuse is installed, you reconnect the negative battery cable in step 9.
Open the rear door and remove the access panel doors on both sides of the vehicle. These panels provide access to the vehicle's wiring connectors at the back of each taillight housing. Use a trim panel remover to carefully remove these panels without damaging the locking tabs.
Begin on the driver's side by plugging the T-Connector harness containing the yellow wire between the vehicle's mating connectors at the taillight housing. Be careful not to damage the locking tabs and ensure connectors are fully inserted. Then route the green wire end up through the trim panel access hole, across the top threshold, and through the passenger trim panel access hole. Repeat the connection process on the passenger's side using the T-Connector containing the green wire.
Yes. For ease of installation, you can attach the harness (both connectors) to fish wire and carefully pull it toward the passenger side. This helps guide the harness through the trim panel access holes and across the threshold.
Yes. You must drill a 3/32" hole on the driver's side near the taillight connectors to secure the white ground wire. Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damaging the vehicle or causing personal injury. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces.
Locate a suitable grounding point on the driver's side near the taillight connectors. Drill a 3/32" hole at this location. The white ground wire is then secured to this hole using an eyelet and the screw provided in the kit. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces.
Mount the black control module on the driver's side using the double-sided tape provided. The module must be mounted with the epoxy side pointing toward the ground to prevent water buildup. After mounting, secure the remainder of the harness with cable ties to prevent damage and rattling, being careful to avoid areas that would cut or pinch the wire.
On the driver's side, locate the black 12-gauge power wire from the T-Connector black box. You have two routing options: either route the black wire through a grommet and along the exterior frame, or follow the existing wiring along the thresholds into the engine compartment up to the battery. Avoid areas that may pinch or break the wire.
After disconnecting 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 to the vehicle's positive (+) battery cable, and secure it. Connect the other end of the fuse holder to the black 12-gauge power wire using the yellow butt connector provided. This creates a fused connection between the T-Connector and the battery's positive terminal.
The T-One® T-Connector uses a 15-amp fuse. This fuse is installed in the yellow fuse holder provided and protects the power circuit. The fuse is installed in step 9 after all other connections are complete.
After reconnecting the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable and installing the 15-amp fuse, test and verify the installation with a test light or by connecting a trailer. For the initial test, reset the vehicle electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition. All connections must be complete for the T-One® T-Connector to function properly.
Secure the remainder of the T-Connector harness with the cable ties provided. Be careful to avoid any areas that would pinch, cut, or melt the wire. This applies both after mounting the control module (step 6) and after routing the power wire (step 10). Proper securing prevents damage and rattling during vehicle operation.
Reinstall the threshold, storage covers, floor covering, and any other items that were removed during installation. Be careful not to pinch or cut the wires when reinstalling these components.
Do not exceed the lower of the vehicle manufacturer's rating or the following limits: maximum 2 stop/turn lights per side (4.2 amps total) or 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 on electrical capacity.
Store the 4-flat connector in the rear cargo area when the T-One® T-Connector is not in use.
Yes, you must disconnect the vehicle's negative battery cable before connecting the power wire to the positive terminal in step 8. Reconnect it after installing the 15-amp fuse in step 9.
The system uses a 15-amp fuse installed in the yellow fuse holder provided.
Do not exceed: 2 stop/turn lights per side (4.2 amps) or 7.5 amps for tail lights. Overloading can cause fires.
Test with a test light or by connecting a trailer. Reset the vehicle electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition. All connections must be complete for proper function.
Verify that all connections are complete. Test the installation with a test light or by connecting a trailer. Reset the vehicle electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition. Ensure the 15-amp fuse is properly installed in the fuse holder.
