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 maximum gross trailer weight is 4500 lb (2043 kg) and the maximum tongue weight is 675 lb (306 kg) for both weight carrying and weight distributing configurations. Do not exceed the lower of your towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or these limits.
Required tools are: ratchet, torque wrench, safety glasses, 5.5 mm socket, 10 mm socket, flat head screwdriver, CR-VT 20 screwdriver, 6 inch socket extension, and die grinder. The manual recommends professional installation if you are not comfortable performing the work yourself.
Bumper fascia removal is recommended for easier installation on MKX models only. For Edge and Nautilus models, it is not required. If you choose to remove the MKX fascia, use a flat head and CR-VT 20 screwdriver to remove 3 rivets and 1 bolt on each side, open the trunk, gently pull the fascia away, and disconnect the electrical connector on the driver side.
Remove the bottom side plastic panels using 5.5 mm and 10 mm sockets to remove 2 bolts and 2 flange nuts on each side. Keep the panels for reinstallation. For Edge Sport and MKX AWD models, also remove 6 bolts and 1 flange nut from the center plastic panel with heat shields and return it to the owner.
Yes, you must remove the exhaust hanger rod from the rubber isolator on both sides and use a stand to support the muffler to prevent damage. However, if you have already removed the bumper fascia on an MKX model, you can skip this step.
Yes, you must use a die grinder to cut off the stud that is above the center of the muffler. This is a required modification. Do not use a torch to cut access or attachment holes.
1. Remove bottom side plastic panels (and center panel for Edge Sport/MKX AWD). 2. Lower the muffler (skip if fascia already removed on MKX). 3. Feed carriage bolts and spacers into the frame using pull wires, cut the stud above the muffler center with a die grinder, raise the hitch into position, slide it over the passenger side exhaust first, feed pull wires through bracket holes, remove pull wires, and loosely install washers and hex nuts. 4. Tighten all 7/16 inch fasteners to 50 Lb.-Ft. (68 N·M). 5. Reinstall all removed components.
Pull wires are used to feed the carriage bolts and spacers into the frame before raising the hitch into position. The pull wires keep the spacer independent of the bolt (kink the pull wire to maintain this separation). After the hitch is positioned and the pull wires are fed through the bracket holes, the pull wires are removed and replaced with washers and hex nuts.
Slide the hitch over the passenger side exhaust first, then feed the pull wires through the bracket holes.
All 7/16 inch fasteners must be tightened to 50 Lb.-Ft. (68 N·M) using a torque wrench. Proper torque is needed to keep the hitch secure to the vehicle when towing.
The 75234F fastener kit includes: 8 carriage bolts (7/16 inch x 14 x 1.75, GR5), 8 spacers (0.188 x 1 x 2, part 3837), 6 conical washers (7/16 inch, part 01292007), 8 hex nuts (7/16 inch, GR2), 8 pull wires (7/16 inch – 13, part 5481), and 2 lock washers (7/16 inch).
The conical washer teeth side must be oriented against the hitch.
Always wear safety glasses when installing the hitch. Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle. Use a stand to support the muffler to prevent damage. 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.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. Verify that the hitch is securely mounted to the vehicle. If the hitch is damaged, it must be removed and replaced.
Always wear your seatbelt. Load the trailer heavier in front. Do not exceed the lower of your towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or 4500 lb GVWR / 675 lb tongue weight. Slow down when towing and never exceed posted speed limits. If excess sway occurs, take your foot off the gas pedal and hold the steering wheel as steady as possible; do not apply brakes or speed up.
No. Do not cut, weld, or modify this receiver. The only cutting required is using a die grinder to remove the stud above the center of the muffler, which is part of the standard installation procedure.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual emphasizes periodic verification that the hitch is securely mounted to the vehicle.

The T-Connector is a trailer wiring interface module designed for the Lincoln MKX. It allows you to connect a trailer's electrical harness to your vehicle's taillight system by intercepting the vehicle's taillight signals and routing them to a 4-Flat connector mounted under the vehicle. The module uses a 15 amp fuse for circuit protection.
Yes, the T-Connector (part number 118682-037) is designed for the Lincoln MKX. The installation instructions are specific to this vehicle model.
You will need: Torx 25 driver, 10 mm socket or wrench, 5.5 mm or 7/32" socket or wrench, trim panel remover, drill with 3/32" drill bit, Phillips head screwdriver, and a test probe.
The T-Connector kit includes: double-sided tape for mounting the black box module, yellow butt connectors (for wiring connections), a yellow fuse holder with a 15 amp fuse, a ring terminal, an eyelet and screw for grounding, and cable ties for securing the harness under the bumper.
No. The manual states "Mount 4-Flat in a suitable location under the vehicle. Bracket not included." You will need to source or fabricate a mounting bracket separately.
Yes. Step 8 requires you to disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable before connecting the fuse holder to the positive (+) battery cable. The negative cable is reconnected in step 11 after the fuse is installed.
Yes. Step 1 requires you to open the rear tailgate and remove the T-25 Torx screws holding the taillight housings in place, then carefully pry the housings rearward away from the vehicle without breaking the alignment tabs. The housings are reinstalled in step 12 after wiring is complete.
Yes, partially. Step 2 requires you to remove clips from the wheel well on both driver's and passenger's sides and remove all screws from the lower fascia area, then carefully pull back the fascia pieces to expose the area behind them underneath the vehicle. These are reinstalled in step 12.
Mount the black box underneath the vehicle behind the rear bumper fascia on the driver's side using the double-sided tape provided. The module must be mounted so that the epoxy side points toward the ground to prevent water buildup. Verify that the trailer's wire harness has adequate length to reach this mounting point.
Disconnect the vehicle wiring harness from both taillight sockets. On the driver's side, route the T-Connector end with 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 vehicle wiring harness (step 5). Repeat the same process on the passenger's side with the T-Connector end with green wire (step 6).
Route the 4-Flat connector underneath the bumper from the driver's side to the passenger's side. Mount it in a suitable location under the vehicle (a bracket is not included, so you will need to source one separately).
In step 8, disconnect the vehicle's negative battery cable. Remove the fuse from the yellow fuse holder provided, 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 ga. wire using the yellow butt connector provided. In step 11, reconnect the negative battery cable and install the 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder.
Beginning from the front of the vehicle (step 9), route the black 12 ga. wire rearward along the frame rail, being careful to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any points that may pinch or break the wire. In step 10, route the wire to the rear driver's side, locate the opening between the vehicle rear bumper and body, route the wire up through this hole, and attach it to the black wire from the T-Connector black box using the supplied yellow butt connector.
Yes. Step 7 requires you to drill a 3/32" hole near the black converter box to secure the white ground wire using the eyelet and screw provided. Before drilling, you must verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury, and you must not drill into the vehicle floor, bed, or any exposed surfaces.
You need a 3/32" drill bit to drill the grounding hole in step 7.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the black converter box. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area before drilling the 3/32" hole.
The T-Connector uses a 15 amp fuse. This fuse is installed in the yellow fuse holder in step 11 after the battery is reconnected.
The wire connecting the battery to the T-Connector is 12 gauge (12 ga.) black wire.
The T-Connector has yellow wires on the driver's side end and green wires on the passenger's side end. These connect to the respective taillight sockets. The white wire is the ground wire, and the black wire connects to the battery positive terminal through the fuse holder.
The maximum stop/turn light capacity is 2 per side at 4.2 amps. Do not exceed this rating or the lower of your towing manufacturer's rating, as overloading the circuit can cause fires.
The maximum tail light capacity is 7.5 amps. Do not exceed this rating or the lower of your towing manufacturer's rating, as overloading the circuit can cause fires.
Route all wires carefully to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any other points that may pinch or break the wire. The black 12 ga. wire should be routed along the frame rail from the front of the vehicle rearward. Cable ties are provided to secure the T-Connector harness under the bumper, and you should use them to avoid areas that would cut or pinch the wire.
After installation is complete, test and verify the installation with a test light or by connecting an actual trailer. This ensures that all taillight signals are properly transmitted through the T-Connector to the trailer connector.
After reinstalling the taillight housings in step 12, ensure that the vehicle wiring harness is positioned between the housing and the vehicle body. Verify that all covers, clips, and screws removed during installation are reinstalled. Secure the remainder of the T-Connector harness under the bumper with the provided cable ties, being careful to avoid areas that would cut or pinch the wire.
Yes, the T-Connector (part number 118682-037) is designed specifically for the Lincoln MKX.
