DRAW-TITE Class 1 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 24899 fits 2008–2012 Acura TSX. The same hitch is used for Honda Accord (2008–2012 and 2013 & Up) and Acura TL (2008 & Up).
The maximum gross trailer weight is 2000 LB (908 kg) and the maximum tongue weight is 200 LB (90.8 kg). However, you must not exceed the lower of this rating or your vehicle manufacturer's towing rating.
No. The drawbar must be used in the RISE position only. The drawbar kit (part 3593) is sold separately.
You will need metal shears, a lubricant or soapy water, a die grinder, and wrenches in 10mm and 11/16" sizes. A torque wrench is required to tighten fasteners to specification (30 Lb.-Ft. for 3/8 GR5 fasteners and 50 Lb.-Ft. for 7/16 GR5 fasteners).
The hitch includes: 2 carriage bolts 7/16-14 X 1.50 GR5, 1 U-bolt 3/8 GR5, 2 spacers, 2 conical washers 3/8, 2 conical washers 7/16, 2 hex nuts 3/8, 2 hex nuts 7/16, and 2 pull wires 7/16. An optional Fastener Kit (24899F) is available separately.
Yes. You must lower the exhaust by removing 2 rubber isolators on single exhaust systems or 4 rubber isolators on dual exhaust systems. Spraying lubricant or soapy water on the metal hanger rod and rubber isolator helps with removal. The exhaust is reattached after hitch installation.
Yes. You must remove the heat shield(s) and underbody panel (if present) before installation. Save the panel and fasteners for reinstallation. The heat shield is reattached after the hitch is in position, and the underbody panel is trimmed and reinstalled.
Possibly. Check whether the spacer and carriage bolt will fit through the existing access hole. If not, enlarge the hole just enough to allow the hardware through. The manual shows two methods: using a metal file or inserting a wrench and prying. Enlarge the hole minimally—only as much as needed.
Yes, if an underbody panel is present. You must trim it to allow the hitch bracket to fit. The manual provides estimated dimensions (12.75", 6.00", 6.00", 1.00" cut), but these are estimates and must be confirmed before trimming. Obtain vehicle owner approval before trimming. After trimming, slide the hitch bracket through the cut until it sits in the cut-out region.
No. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. Use a die grinder, metal shears, or file instead.
Only if additional exhaust clearance is required after installation. If needed, bend the exhaust hanger bracket (which is welded to the vehicle frame) downward to provide more clearance.
Use the pull wires provided (one for each rail). Feed the spacers and carriage bolts into position using the pull wires. Keep the bolt and spacer separate (not engaged) while inserting them into the frame—this makes insertion much easier. Leave the pull wire attached until the fasteners are in position. See Figure 3 for the insertion technique.
Hang the U-bolt on the tow hook. The hitch can be raised into position with the U-bolt in one of two locations (forward or rear), as shown in Figure 1.
After hanging the U-bolt on the tow hook and raising the hitch into position, feed the pull wires through the hole in the side arm. The pull wires are then removed once the fasteners are secured.
Tighten all 3/8 GR5 fasteners with a torque wrench to 30 Lb.-Ft. (41 N·M).
Tighten all 7/16 GR5 fasteners with a torque wrench to 50 Lb.-Ft. (68 N·M).
Observe safety precautions when working beneath a 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 immediately.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. Verify that the hitch is secure and that no fasteners have loosened during use.
Check the hitch frequently, making sure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual does not specify an exact interval, but regular inspection is recommended to ensure safe operation.
A damaged hitch or ball must be removed and replaced. Do not attempt to repair a damaged hitch.

Yes, this installation manual is specifically written for the Honda Accord Coupe. The manual includes vehicle-specific diagrams and instructions for locating the taillight wiring harness on this model.
The T-One T-Connector is a trailer wiring harness that connects to your vehicle's taillight wiring to provide power for trailer lights. It includes a black box module that integrates with your vehicle's electrical system and a 4-flat connector for the trailer.
You will need: a trim panel remover, a drill with a 3/32" drill bit, a Phillips head screwdriver, and a test probe. Safety glasses are also required during installation.
Yes. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable before connecting the fuse holder to the positive battery terminal. The battery is reconnected in step 8 after the fuse is installed.
Open the trunk and partially remove the felt trunk liner behind the taillights. On both the driver and passenger sides, locate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness. The T-One T-Connector has separate ends for each side: attach the end with yellow and brown wires to the driver's side, and the end with green and red wires to the passenger's side. Route the green wire end behind the panels and along the threshold.
Yes. You must drill a 3/32" hole near the taillight connector to secure the white ground wire using the eyelet and screw provided. Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces.
Drill a 3/32" hole. This hole is used to secure the white ground wire using the eyelet and screw provided in the kit.
The T-Connector uses the following wires: yellow and brown (driver's side taillight connector), green and red (passenger's side taillight connector), white (ground), and black (power). The black box module also has a black wire that connects to the vehicle's battery circuit via a yellow fuse holder with a 15 amp fuse.
The T-One T-Connector uses a 15 amp fuse, installed in the yellow fuse holder provided. This fuse protects the circuit from overload.
From inside the vehicle, connect the black 12 gauge wire from the T-One black box module to the supplied yellow butt connector. Route this 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. After disconnecting the negative battery cable, 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 gauge wire using the yellow butt connector. Install the 15 amp fuse and reconnect the negative battery cable.
Avoid areas that may pinch or break the wire. If routing through a grommet and along the exterior of the vehicle, carefully avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, and any other points that may pinch or break the wire. Alternatively, follow existing wiring along the thresholds into the engine compartment.
Mount the black box module on a flat surface in an out-of-the-way location to prevent damage or rattling.
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.
All connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly. Test and verify the installation with a test light or by connecting a trailer once installed. For the initial test, reset the vehicle's electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition.
The manual does not specify the amperage rating of the T-Connector itself. However, you must 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.
Store the 4-flat connector in the trunk area when not in use.
No. You only need to temporarily remove the rear threshold plate and partially remove the felt trunk liner behind the taillights to access the taillight wiring harness.
Before separating the connectors, ensure all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt. Be careful not to break the locking tabs when separating the vehicle's wiring connectors.
Be careful not to damage the locking tabs. Ensure that connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. The T-Connector ends should match the connection points on the vehicle's taillight wiring harness.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area before drilling the 3/32" hole. This ensures a good electrical connection for the white ground wire.
Yes, this manual is specifically for the Honda Accord Coupe. The installation includes vehicle-specific wiring locations and routing instructions.
Yes, disconnect the negative battery cable before connecting to the positive terminal. Reconnect it after installing the 15 amp fuse.
Verify that all connections are complete. The manual states that all connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly. Check that: (1) the taillight connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place, (2) the ground wire is securely fastened, (3) the fuse holder is properly connected to both the positive battery terminal and the black 12 gauge wire, and (4) the 15 amp fuse is installed. Test with a test light or trailer. If still not working, reset the vehicle's electrical system by temporarily removing the ignition key.
Secure the T-Connector harness with the cable ties provided to prevent damage or rattling. Ensure the black box module is mounted on a flat surface in an out-of-the-way location. Check that all panels, clips, and carpet have been properly reinstalled without pinching or cutting the wires.
