Made from welded steel with a black premium finish, the Hidden Hitch series of hitches are custom designed to ensure a superior fit for each make and model vehicle. Each Hidden Hitch is designed with a two-inch receiver opening to fit a number of different accessory attachments like bike racks, cargo carriers, and more! Draw-Tite Hidden Hitches are rated for 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight (GTW) and are best suited for use with accessories or light-duty towing. The integrated anti-theft lockable receiver ensures added safety when the hitch is in use, while the included anti-rattle hitch pin provides premium performance and security. When you are not using the Hidden Hitch, you can store the removeable receiver, anti-rattle pin, and weather covers in the hard sided carrying case that is included with your purchase.
These dependable, premium custom hitches are manufactured for 2016-2023 BMW X1 and attach to your vehicle?s frame behind the bumper for a luxuriously clean appearance. Hidden Hitch trailer hitches have a sleek black powder coat finish for superior rust and corrosion resistance and come complete with all the mounting hardware needed for installation. Plus, each hitch is tested to meet - and exceed - V-5 and SAE J684 standards and is backed by a nationwide lifetime limited warranty.
So, take that extra cooler out to the lake, hit the bike trails in the park, or hook up that utility trailer and tackle your honey-do home repairs. When you are done, remove the evidence (i.e., the removeable receiver), and go for a cruise. With the Hidden Hitch, you can do it all! Brought to you by 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.

Maximum Gross Trailer Weight (GVWR) is 3,500 lb (1,589 kg) and maximum tongue weight is 350 lb (159 kg). This is a weight-carrying hitch only; weight-distributing capacity is not available.
Required tools: ratchet, torque wrench, safety glasses, sockets (8 mm, 10 mm, 18 mm, 19 mm), socket extension, flat head screwdriver, tape, marker, tin snips, plastic rivet gun, pry bar, and 19 mm wrench.
The manual states the average installation time is 90 minutes for professional installers. If you do not feel comfortable performing the installation yourself or need assistance, contact a professional installer.
No drilling is required. The hitch uses existing M12 studs on the vehicle's end panel. However, the heat shield must be trimmed with tin snips, and the fascia, taillight, and wheel well trim must be removed and reinstalled.
Torque all hitch fasteners to 68 lb-ft (92 N·m). The receiver housing fasteners are torqued separately to 92 lb-ft (125 N·m).
Do not exceed the lower of your towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or the hitch rating of 3,500 lb GVWR and 350 lb tongue weight. Load the trailer heavier in front. If excess sway occurs, take your foot off the gas pedal and hold the steering wheel steady—do not apply brakes or speed up. Always wear your seatbelt and slow down when towing.
Check that all fasteners are tight and the hitch is securely mounted to the vehicle. The manual recommends checking the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened.
The kit includes the hitch receiver assembly, receiver housing with weather covers, fastener kit 76923F (containing 8 plastic rivets, 2 M12×1.75×100 CL 10.9 hex bolts, 2 7/16" flat washers, 2 M12-1.75 CL10 prevailing torque nuts), 1 warning card, and 2 warning labels.
The weather covers install on the top and bottom of the receiver housing to protect it from the elements. They are included with the hitch and must be installed before attaching the receiver housing to the hitch.
No. The 76923 is a weight-carrying hitch only. Weight-distributing capacity is listed as N/A in the specifications.
The ball mount must have a maximum length of 10.5 inches (measured from the center of the ball hole to the center of the pin hole) and a minimum rise of 0.75 inches (measured from the top of the shank to the top of the ball platform).
Two quick-link options are available (sold separately): #49131 (5/16 inch) and #44133 (3/8 inch). Both are rated for a maximum GVWR of 3,500 lb.
Use the key to unlock the blue knob. Push in the blue knob and rotate it clockwise until you hear a click sound. At that point, you can separate the receiver from the receiver housing. The receiver housing stays attached to the hitch.
Two fastener assemblies are used: each consists of an M12 bolt, a flat washer, and a prevailing torque nut. These are torqued to 92 lb-ft (125 N·m).
1. Remove the taillight (both sides). 2. Remove the fascia and wheel well trim (both sides). 3. Remove the heat shield. 4. Remove the impact bar. 5. Raise the hitch and impact bar into position, aligning holes with studs on the end panel, and loosely reinstall the 4 existing M12 flange nuts. 6. Torque all hitch fasteners to 68 lb-ft (92 N·m). 7. Trim the heat shield with tin snips. 8. Reinstall the heat shield, taillights, wiring, and fascia with supplied plastic rivets.
Yes. Step 4 of the installation requires removing the 4 nuts from the impact bar using an 18 mm socket. The impact bar is then reinstalled after the hitch is torqued in place.
The following must be removed: taillight assemblies (both sides), fascia, wheel well trim (both sides), heat shield, and impact bar. All are reinstalled after the hitch is mounted. The heat shield is trimmed but not removed permanently.
Using tin snips, trim the area shown in Figure 3: approximately 4.50 inches wide by 7.50 inches tall, cutting up to the bend line. The heat shield is then reinstalled.
The 4 existing M12 flange nuts on the vehicle's end panel studs are reused. All other fasteners removed during disassembly (plastic screws, 8 mm screws, 10 mm nuts, plastic rivets) are saved and reinstalled in their original locations.
Eight plastic rivets (included in kit 76923F) are used to reattach the wheel well trim to the wheel well liner after the hitch is installed. They replace the original plastic rivets that were removed during disassembly.
Yes. Step 5 instructs to loosely reinstall the 4 existing M12 flange nuts onto the studs in the end panel. Step 6 then torques all hitch fasteners to 68 lb-ft (92 N·m) with a torque wrench.
Leave the foam sealant in place when removing the impact bar. Do not remove or disturb it.
Use tape to protect the trim and fascia from damage while removing and reinstalling components.
Move the wiring near the center section to the side before raising the hitch and impact bar into position.
Plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes.
Take your foot off the gas pedal and hold the steering wheel as steady as possible. Do not apply your brakes and do not speed up.
Load the trailer heavier in front. This helps maintain stability and control while towing.
No. Do not cut, weld, or modify the receiver. Any modifications will void the warranty and compromise safety.

Yes, the T-Connector (part 118717-037) is designed for BMW X1. The manual does not specify which model years or generations are compatible, so contact the manufacturer or your installer to confirm your specific vehicle year and configuration.
The T-Connector is a trailer wiring interface that connects between your vehicle's taillight wiring and a trailer's electrical system. It allows your trailer lights to operate in sync with your vehicle's brake, turn, and tail lights.
You will need: trim panel remover, 10 mm socket and ratchet or 10 mm wrench, drill with 3/32" bit, 1/4" socket, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips head screwdriver, and test probe.
The kit includes: double-sided tape for mounting the black box, yellow wires and green wires on the T-Connector ends, white wire with eyelet for grounding, black 12 gauge power wire, yellow fuse holder with 15 amp fuse, yellow butt connector, cable ties, and a screw for securing the ground wire eyelet.
Yes. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (−) battery cable before connecting the power wire to the positive battery terminal. Reconnect the negative cable only after the fuse holder and 15 amp fuse are fully installed.
Mount the black box underneath the vehicle behind the rear bumper fascia on the driver's side using the double-sided tape provided. The mounting point must be in a protected area away from road debris and objects that could be driven over. The epoxy side of the module must face the ground to prevent water buildup.
Remove both taillights by opening the rear tailgate and removing two 10 mm nuts on each side. Disconnect the vehicle wiring harness from both taillight sockets, being careful not to break the locking tabs. Route the T-Connector end with yellow wires to the driver's side taillight pocket and plug it between the mating plugs on the driver's side taillight socket and vehicle wiring harness. Route the T-Connector end with green wire to the passenger's side under the bumper and repeat the connection on the passenger side.
Yes. You must drill one 3/32" hole on the driver's side near the taillight connectors to secure the white ground wire with an eyelet and screw. Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces.
The T-Connector uses a 15 amp fuse. This fuse protects the power circuit from the vehicle battery. Install the fuse into the yellow fuse holder after all other connections are complete.
Locate the black 12 gauge power wire from the T-Connector box on the driver's side. Attach the black 12 gauge wire provided. Route the black wire along the exterior frame or follow existing wiring along the thresholds into the engine compartment up to the battery, avoiding areas that may pinch or break the wire. Disconnect 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, and secure it to the vehicle's positive (+) battery cable. Connect the other end of the fuse holder to the black 12 gauge wire using the yellow butt connector. Reconnect the negative battery cable and install the 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder.
The T-Connector has yellow wires that connect to the driver's side taillight socket, green wires that connect to the passenger's side taillight socket, white wire for grounding to the vehicle frame, and black 12 gauge wire for power from the vehicle battery. The black box itself is mounted underneath the vehicle.
Do not exceed the lower of your vehicle manufacturer's rating or: maximum stop/turn light 2 per side (4.2 amps); maximum tail lights (7.5 amps). Overloading the circuit can cause fires. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for additional information.
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 electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition.
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. Also avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any other points that may pinch or break the wire.
Yes. You must remove both taillights to access and disconnect the vehicle wiring harness. Open the rear tailgate and remove two 10 mm nuts on each side (driver and passenger). Carefully pull the taillight away from the vehicle without damaging the alignment pins, then disconnect the vehicle wiring harness from the taillight sockets.
Route wires carefully to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any other points that may pinch or break the wire. Avoid areas that would pinch, cut, or melt the wire. Route the black power wire along the exterior frame or follow existing wiring along the thresholds into the engine compartment. Ensure the trailer's wire harness has adequate length to reach the mounting point.
After all T-Connector wiring is complete and secured with cable ties, reinstall the taillight assemblies and other items removed during installation. Be careful not to pinch or cut the wires when reinstalling.
Before connecting, disconnect the vehicle wiring harness from both taillight sockets. Ensure all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt. Separate the connector carefully, being careful not to break the locking tabs.
