These dependable custom hitches are manufactured for 2016-2023 Honda Civic 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 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.

Part number 24954 fits 2016-current Honda Civic Sedan, 2016-current Honda Civic Coupe, and 2017-current Honda Civic Hatchback. For the most up-to-date information regarding specific application years and trim levels, visit the manufacturer's website at www.horizonglobal.com.
The 24954 is a weight-carrying hitch with a maximum gross trailer weight of 2000 lb (908 kg) and maximum tongue weight of 200 lb (90 kg). Do not exceed the lower of your towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or these limits.
The fastener kit 24954F includes 8 hex bolts (M8 × 1.25 × 30 CL8.8) and 8 conical washers (3/8"). The drawbar is sold separately as kit 3593. The hitch receiver itself is the main component; all other hardware and fasteners are provided.
Required tools are: ratchet, torque wrench, safety glasses, sockets (13 mm, 12 mm, 10 mm, 5 mm), Allen wrench, flat-head screwdriver, small Phillips screwdriver, 6-inch socket extension, tape measure, marker, drill with small drill bit, utility knife, and die grinder. Professional installation is recommended if you are not comfortable performing the work yourself.
Yes. The installation requires removal of the factory bumper. You must remove 8 bolts holding the bumper in place and return these fasteners to the vehicle owner. The bumper is then trimmed with a die grinder before the hitch is installed.
Yes. The bumper fascia must be removed before hitch installation and reinstalled afterward. Removal involves releasing plastic rivets from the bumper supports, removing Phillips screws from the wheel well (approximately 3-4 per side), removing hex screws from under the rear hatch, loosening taillight bolts, and carefully unclipping tabs and cleats. Any wiring harness at the fascia must be disconnected.
Yes. A drill with a small bit is required to create a radius on the fascia cutout. The fascia must be trimmed with a 2.50 × 4.00 inch cutout (or 2.50 × 4.125 inches on 2022 and current models), and the drill is used to create the radius at the corners of this cutout. This is a permanent modification to the vehicle's bumper fascia.
Yes. A die grinder is required to remove material from the bumper as shown in Figure 2 on both sides of the vehicle. This trimming is necessary to allow the hitch and bumper to fit together properly. This is a permanent modification to the factory bumper.
All M8 CL8.8 fasteners must be tightened with a torque wrench to 20 lb-ft (27 N·m). Proper torque is essential to keep the hitch secure to the vehicle when towing.
The conical washer teeth side must be placed against the hitch. There are 8 conical washers (3/8") included in the fastener kit 24954F, one for each of the 8 hex bolts.
The 8 hex bolts (M8 × 1.25 × 30 CL8.8) with conical washers attach the hitch to existing weld nuts located on the opposite side of the end panel. The hitch is raised into position and fastened using the provided hardware.
The fascia cutout is 2.50 × 4.00 inches for 2016-2021 models. For 2022 and current models, the cutout is 2.50 × 4.125 inches. The cutout is measured from the centerline of the fascia marked in step 1. A drill is used to create a radius at the corners of the cutout.
Always wear safety glasses during installation. Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle. Do not use a torch to cut access or attachment holes. Do not cut, weld, or modify the receiver. After installation, periodically check that all fasteners are tight and the hitch is securely mounted to the vehicle.
The drawbar must be used in the RISE position only. The drawbar is sold separately as kit 3593.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. Periodically verify that the hitch is securely mounted to the vehicle. 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 hitch or ball that has been damaged should be removed and replaced. Do not continue to use a damaged hitch for towing.
Verify that the fascia cutout dimensions are correct: 2.50 × 4.00 inches for 2016-2021 models or 2.50 × 4.125 inches for 2022 and current models. Ensure the drill was used to create a radius at the corners of the cutout. Check that the bumper has been properly trimmed with the die grinder as shown in Figure 2 on both sides. If interference persists, additional material may need to be removed from the bumper or fascia.
The plastic rivets are released by first pulling out the center post of the rivet approximately 1/4 inch. The rivet can then be pushed out by hand. If the center post does not pull out easily, ensure you are pulling straight out and not at an angle. Once the center post is removed, the rivet body should push out easily.
The T-One® T-Connector is a trailer wiring harness system that integrates with your vehicle's taillight wiring to provide trailer lighting connections. It uses a black box module and T-connector ends to tap into the existing taillight circuits on both driver and passenger sides, allowing you to connect a trailer without modifying the vehicle's factory wiring.
This T-One® T-Connector (part number 118686-037) is designed for the Honda Civic Sedan. The manual does not specify which model years are compatible.
You will need: trim panel remover, drill with 3/32" drill bit, Phillips head screwdriver, test probe, 10mm socket or wrench, wire crimpers, and wire cutters.
The kit includes: T-connector ends with yellow, brown, green, and red wires; a black box module; a white ground wire with eyelet and screw; a yellow fuse holder with 15 amp fuse; yellow butt connectors; cable ties; 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. Reconnect the negative cable only after the fuse holder connection is complete and the 15 amp fuse is installed.
You must open the trunk and remove the taillights on both the driver and passenger sides. Carefully pull the taillights away from the vehicle without damaging the alignment pins. You will also need to temporarily remove the rear threshold plate and partially remove the felt trunk liner behind the taillights.
On the driver's side, locate and disconnect the green 2-pin connector and the black 3-pin connector from the taillight housing. Insert the T-connector end with the yellow wire between the vehicle wiring connectors for the green connector, and the T-connector end with the brown wire for the black connector. Ensure connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat on the passenger's side: disconnect the blue 2-pin connector and insert the T-connector end with the red wire. The green wire T-connector end is also used on the passenger's side.
On the driver's side, slit the grommet enough to allow the trailer wiring harness access to the taillight assemblies, then route the T-connector with yellow and brown wires through the grommet from inside the trunk and reseat the grommet. Route the T-connector end with the green wire to the passenger's side behind the panels and along the threshold. For the black 12 gauge wire connecting to the battery, either route it through a grommet and 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.
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, then secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided.
Drill a 3/32" hole for the white ground wire installation.
Yes. On the driver's side, you must slit the grommet enough to allow the trailer wiring harness access to the taillight assemblies. After routing the T-connector through the grommet, reseat the grommet.
Install a 15 amp fuse into the yellow fuse holder provided with the kit.
The T-connector uses the following wire colors: yellow wire connects to the driver's side green 2-pin connector; brown wire connects to the driver's side black 3-pin connector; green wire connects to the passenger's side green 2-pin connector; red wire connects to the passenger's side blue 2-pin connector; white wire is the ground wire that is drilled and secured to a grounding point; black 12 gauge wire connects from the black box module to the vehicle's positive (+) battery terminal via the yellow fuse holder.
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 cable. Connect the other end of the fuse holder to the black 12 gauge wire using the yellow butt connector provided. Then reconnect the vehicle's negative (−) battery cable and install the 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder.
The black box module is the T-One® T-Connector's control unit. Locate a flat surface in an out-of-the-way place and mount it to prevent damage or rattling. The manual does not specify exact mounting location or dimensions.
Secure the remainder of the T-One® 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.
Always wear safety glasses and use all safety precautions during installation. Before drilling, verify what is behind any surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into exposed surfaces. When routing the black wire externally, avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, and any other points that may pinch or break the wire. Read and follow all warnings and cautions printed on the tow vehicle's battery. Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturing rating stated in your vehicle owner's manual or the specific amperage ratings stated on the product.
The manual states 'Do not exceed stated product ratings' and references the vehicle owner's manual and instruction sheet for additional information, but does not specify the actual amperage or load rating in this document.
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 electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition.
Reinstall the taillight housing assemblies, positioning the vehicle wiring harness between the housing and the vehicle body.
