These dependable custom hitches are manufactured for 2010-2019 Subaru Legacy, 2010-2019 Subaru Outback and attach to your vehicle?s frame or bumper for a sleek, clean appearance. Each hitch also has a 1-1/4 inch square receiver tube opening so you can easily attach accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier, or a utility trailer. DRAW-TITE Class 2 custom trailer hitches come complete with all the mounting hardware needed for installation and are backed by a nationwide lifetime limited warranty. So, whether you are headed out to the campground and need a place for the cooler, taking the bikes to hit the trails in the park, or you are tackling a DIY project (maybe some landscaping or a home repair), 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.

Yes, part number 36493N fits all Subaru Legacy and OutBack models. However, the drawbar kit supplied or required depends on body style: wagon models come with Drawbar Kit 36051 (must be used in Rise position only), while sedan models require separately purchased Drawbar Kit 36071.
Required tools: tin snips, spray lubricant, 10mm wrench, 11/16" wrench, torque wrench, and 1-1/8" hole saw drill bit. A torque wrench is essential because all 7/16 GR5 fasteners must be tightened to exactly 50 Lb.-Ft. (68 N·M).
Yes. You must drill a 1-1/8" access hole in the bottom of the frame approximately 2" from the forward heat shield attachment point. This hole is used to route the carriage bolts and spacer blocks through the frame.
The exhaust system must be temporarily lowered, not fully removed. Remove the two rubber isolators from the muffler hangers and one below the rear axle (spray hangers first for ease of removal). The system is raised back into position in the final step after the hitch is secured.
All 7/16 GR5 fasteners must be tightened to 50 Lb.-Ft. (68 N·M) using a torque wrench. This applies to all four carriage bolts and their hex nuts.
Maximum gross trailer weight is 3500 lb (1589 kg) and maximum tongue weight is 300 lb (136 kg). However, do not exceed the lower of the hitch rating or your vehicle manufacturer's towing rating.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual emphasizes this as an ongoing maintenance requirement, not just a one-time post-installation check.
Fastener kit 36493F includes: 4 carriage bolts (7/16-14 x 1.50 GR5), 4 conical toothed washers (7/16"), 4 hex nuts (7/16-14), 2 flat washers (7/16"), 2 spacers (3/16" x 1 x 2), 2 spacers (1/4" x 1 x 3), and 4 fish wires (7/16"). The kit does not include the 1 x 2 and 1 x 3 blocks used to route the bolts through the frame.
No. Wagon models are supplied with Drawbar Kit 36051 and must use it in the Rise position only. Sedan models require separately purchased Drawbar Kit 36071. The kits are not interchangeable.
Yes, the heat shields must be temporarily lowered by removing four M6 bolts. Save these bolts for reinstallation. After the hitch is positioned, trim the heat shields around the forward attachment bolt area so they sit flat against the hitch bracket, then reinstall them using the same four M6 bolts.
Fish-wire is used to route the carriage bolts and spacer blocks through the frame. After drilling the 1-1/8" access hole, you thread a fish-wire through the access hole and down through the rearmost hole in the frame bottom, attach a carriage bolt and 1 x 2 spacer block to the wire, then pull the wire back through to draw the bolt and block into position. Repeat for the forward hole using a 1 x 3 spacer block. Leave the fish-wires attached to the bolts and feed their ends through the hitch holes.
First, loosely install the conical toothed washers and hex nuts onto the rearmost carriage bolts. Then place a flat washer on the forward carriage bolt between the frame and hitch bracket. Finally, install the conical toothed washers and hex nuts onto the forward carriage bolts and tighten all fasteners to 50 Lb.-Ft. (68 N·M).
Drill a 1-1/8" access hole in the bottom of the frame approximately 2" from the forward heat shield attachment point. See Figure 1 in the manual for the exact location relative to the frame rail.
A 1-1/8" hole saw drill bit is required to create the access hole in the frame bottom.
No. The manual explicitly states: "Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch." Use a 1-1/8" hole saw drill bit instead.
Yes. After positioning the hitch, trim the heat shields around the area near the forward attachment bolt so that the heat shield sits flat against the hitch bracket. Use tin snips for this task.
The carriage bolts are 7/16-14 x 1.50 GR5 grade. Four bolts are included in the fastener kit. They must be tightened to 50 Lb.-Ft. (68 N·M) using a torque wrench.
The hex nuts are 7/16-14 size. Four nuts are included in the fastener kit and must be tightened to 50 Lb.-Ft. (68 N·M).
Two types of spacer blocks are used: 2 spacers measuring 3/16" x 1 x 2 (used with the rearmost carriage bolt), and 2 spacers measuring 1/4" x 1 x 3 (used with the forward carriage bolt).
The wiring access location is PC3, as indicated in the manual specifications table.
Observe safety precautions when working beneath the vehicle and wear eye protection. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. 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 damaged hitch or ball must be removed and replaced. Do not attempt to repair or continue using a damaged component.
For wagon models using Drawbar Kit 36051, the drawbar must be used in the Rise position only. Do not use it in any other position.
If the hitch is removed, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes.
Check the hitch frequently, making sure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual does not specify an exact interval but emphasizes regular inspection as an ongoing maintenance requirement.
The manual warns: "Be careful not to push bolts back up into frame" during Step 7. If this occurs, you must re-fish the bolts using the fish-wire technique. This is why the fish-wires should remain attached to the bolts and fed through the hitch holes to maintain control during positioning.
Trim the heat shield around the area near the forward attachment bolt using tin snips so that it sits flat against the hitch bracket. This is a normal part of the installation process and is shown in Figure 2.
The T-One® T-Connector is a trailer wiring harness that integrates with your vehicle's taillight wiring to provide trailer lighting connections. It uses a 4-flat connector that you store in the trunk when not in use. The system connects to your vehicle's existing taillight wiring on both the driver and passenger sides, allowing you to safely tow a trailer with integrated lighting.
Yes, the T-One® T-Connector part number 118671-037 is designed for the Subaru Legacy. The manual confirms this application.
You will need: a trim panel remover, a drill with a 3/32" drill bit, a Phillips head screwdriver, and a test-probe. These tools are required to remove interior panels, drill the ground wire hole, and verify electrical connections.
The kit includes: two T-Connector ends (one with yellow wire, one with green wire), a black box-module, cable ties, a white wire with eyelet and screw for grounding, a 15 amp fuse, a yellow fuse holder with wire, two yellow butt connectors, and a 4-flat connector for storage in the trunk when not in use.
Yes. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable before connecting the fuse holder to the positive battery terminal. This is a required safety step performed in step 7. After all other connections are complete, you reconnect the negative battery cable in step 8.
Open the trunk and temporarily remove the rear threshold plate. Partially remove the felt trunk liner behind the taillights. You will also need to remove interior panels and carpet to route the wiring harness from the taillights to the engine compartment and battery. These panels and carpet are reinstalled after installation.
Locate the taillight wiring harness on both the driver and passenger sides of the vehicle. The harness has a connection point on each side that matches the T-Connector ends. Separate the vehicle's connector carefully without breaking the locking tabs. Insert the T-Connector end with the yellow wire on the driver's side between the vehicle connectors and lock into place. Route the T-Connector end with the green wire to the passenger's side and repeat the process. Ensure all connector surfaces are clean and connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
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 any exposed surfaces. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area first, then drill the hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided.
From inside the vehicle, connect the black 12 gauge wire from the T-Connector black box to the vehicle's wiring using the supplied yellow butt connector. Route the black wire either 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. If routing through a grommet and along the exterior, carefully avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any other points that may pinch or break the wire.
Disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable first. 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 terminal. Connect the other end of the fuse holder to the black 12 gauge wire using the supplied yellow butt connector. The fuse holder contains a 15 amp fuse, which you install after reconnecting the negative battery cable.
The system uses a 15 amp fuse installed in the yellow fuse holder provided. This fuse is installed after all other connections are complete and the negative battery cable is reconnected.
The T-Connector uses: yellow wire (driver's side taillight connection), green wire (passenger's side taillight connection), white wire (ground connection secured with eyelet and screw), and black wire (12 gauge, connects to vehicle battery positive terminal through the fuse holder). The black wire from the T-Connector black box also connects to the vehicle's wiring using a yellow butt connector.
Do not exceed the lower of your towing manufacturer's rating or: maximum stop/turn light 2 per side (4.2 amps total), or maximum tail lights (7.5 amps total). Overloading the circuit can cause fires. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual and the T-Connector instruction sheet for additional information on your specific towing capacity.
All connections must be complete for the T-One® T-Connector to function properly. 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. This ensures all connections are working correctly before towing.
Locate a flat surface in an out-of-the-way place inside the vehicle and mount the black box-module there. This prevents damage or rattling during vehicle operation.
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. After securing the harness, replace the carpet and any other clips or panels that were removed during installation, being careful not to cut or pinch the wires.
Store the 4-flat connector in the trunk area when not in use. This protects it from damage and keeps it readily available when you need to tow a trailer.
