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. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable before connecting the fuse holder to the positive battery cable in step 9. After all connections are complete, reconnect the negative battery cable and install the 15 amp fuse.
Yes. The first step is to open the tailgate and remove the vehicle's taillights by carefully prying the housings away from the vehicle. Be careful not to break the alignment tabs. The taillights are reinstalled at the end of the installation in step 12.
On the driver's side, separate the vehicle's taillight wiring connectors and locate the 3-pin housing that matches the T-one connector with the yellow and brown wire. Lock it into place. On the passenger side, connect the green wire with the 3-pin flat housing to the corresponding connectors, and connect the T-connector end with the red wire to the mating housings. All connector surfaces must be clean and free of dirt before connecting.
Route the harness containing the red and green wire and the 4-flat connector down the opening behind the taillight on the driver's side, then route the 4-flat harness to the center of the vehicle. Route the harness containing the red and green wire underneath the vehicle and up through the opening behind the passenger's side taillight. Route the black 12 gauge wire from the front of the vehicle rearward along the frame rail. Always route wires carefully to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, fuel tank, or any points that may pinch or break the wire.
Drilling is required only if you use the alternative grounding method. If a ground stud is not available in the driver's side taillight pocket, you must drill a 3/32" hole in a suitable grounding point near the adapter, such as the vehicle frame or crossmember. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed. 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 is installed in the yellow fuse holder provided and must be installed after the negative battery cable is reconnected.
Use a 3/32" drill bit to create the hole for the ground wire installation when using the alternative grounding method.
The T-Connector uses the following wires: yellow and brown wires connect to the 3-pin housing on the driver's side taillight; red and green wires route through the vehicle and connect to the passenger side taillight; white wire is the ground wire that connects to either the ground stud in the driver's side taillight pocket or to a suitable grounding point via a 3/32" drilled hole; black 12 gauge wire routes from the front of the vehicle along the frame rail to the fuse holder and positive battery cable.
Disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable. Remove the fuse from the yellow fuse holder if not already removed. Cut the fuse holder wire and attach the ring terminal 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. Reconnect the negative battery cable and install the 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder.
The black 12 gauge wire routes from the front of the vehicle rearward along the frame rail and connects to the fuse holder and positive battery cable. It provides power to the T-Connector system.
Locate a flat surface in an out-of-the-way place and mount the T-Connector's black box module to prevent damage or rattling. The epoxy side of the module must point toward the ground to prevent water buildup.
Mount the 4-flat connector end in an accessible location with a bracket or electrical box. Note that the bracket or electrical box is not included with the T-Connector kit.
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.
Always wear safety glasses during installation. Read and follow all warnings and instructions included with the product before beginning.
