These dependable custom hitches are manufactured for 2012-2022 Subaru Impreza 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.

Yes, the 24960 hitch fits 2012–Current Subaru Impreza Sedan models. It does not fit WRX or STi variants. For the most up-to-date information on specific trim levels and model years, visit the Cequent website.
The 24960 is a weight-carrying hitch with a maximum gross trailer weight of 2000 lb (908 kg) and maximum tongue weight of 200 lb (90.8 kg). Do not exceed the lower of your towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or these limits.
Required tools: ratchet, torque wrench, safety glasses, 11/16" and 10 mm sockets, socket extension, exhaust hanger removal tool or pry bar, metal shears (tin snips), tape measure, marker, tape, flat-head screwdriver, ratchet strap or bungee cord, and lubricant or soapy water. Professional installation is recommended if you are not comfortable performing the work yourself.
Yes. The muffler must be lowered by removing 3 to 5 rubber hangers (varies by model year) and supported with a ratchet strap or bungee cord before installation. The muffler is raised back into position and hangers reattached after the hitch is installed.
Yes. The heat shield must be removed, trimmed using metal shears as shown in Figure 2, and then reinstalled using 3 of the original 4 screws. The heat shield is trimmed and replaced before the hitch is installed.
All 7/16-14 Grade 5 carriage bolts must be torqued to 50 lb-ft (68 N·m) using a torque wrench. Proper torque is essential to keep the hitch securely mounted to the vehicle when towing.
Always wear safety glasses during installation. Observe safety precautions when working beneath the vehicle. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. Support the exhaust with a ratchet strap or bungee cord before removing rubber hangers. Spray lubricant or soapy water on rubber hangers to ease removal.
Check that all fasteners are tight and the hitch is securely mounted to the vehicle. Check the hitch frequently during use to ensure all fasteners and ball remain properly tightened. If the hitch is removed, plug all holes in the trunk pan or body panels to prevent water and exhaust fume entry.
No. The 24960 hitch is designed for 2012–Current Subaru Impreza Sedan models only and explicitly excludes WRX and STi variants. Do not attempt to install on these models.
The 24960 is a weight-carrying hitch. Weight-distributing capability is not available for this model, as indicated by the 'X' in the weight-distributing row of the hitch specifications table.
The fastener kit (part number 24960F) includes: 6 carriage bolts 7/16-14 x 1.50 Grade 5; 6 spacer blocks 1/4" x 7/8" x 3.00 (part HE-2370-000); 2 spacer blocks 1/8" x 7/8" x 3.00 (part 122209); 6 conical washers 7/16" (part 01292007); 6 hex nuts 7/16-14 Grade 2; and 6 pull wires 7/16" (part 5481).
No. The authorized drawbar kit (part number 3594) is sold separately and must be purchased if needed. The drawbar must be used in the RISE position only.
The average installation time for professional installers is 40 minutes. If you do not feel comfortable performing the installation yourself or need assistance, contact a professional installer.
The reverse fish wire method is used to install the forward-most fasteners. Attach the 7/16" carriage bolts and 1/4" thick spacer blocks to the pull wire and pull the fasteners into position on both sides. Figure 4 in the manual illustrates the three steps: (A) insert bolt and block into frame, (B) align block on access hole, (C) pull bolt through block.
Two types of spacer blocks are used: (1) 1/4" thick spacer blocks (item 2, part HE-2370-000) are fed through the frame using pull wire for the second, middle, and forward-most attachment holes, and must sit flat inside the frame without overlapping; (2) 1/8" thick spacer blocks (item 3, part 122209) are taped to the top of hitch brackets at the forward-most attachment (one per side) and must sit flush against the bottom of the frame, not on the raised area.
The conical washer (part 01292007, 7/16" size) is installed on each carriage bolt with the toothed side facing against the hitch. Six conical washers are used, one for each of the six attachment points. They are installed loosely before final torquing.
Using a flat-head screwdriver, remove the 3 rubber plugs from the 3 forward holes in the bottom of the frame. Do not remove the rearmost rubber plug. These plugs provide access to the frame for feeding the pull wire and fasteners.
If necessary, adjust the hitch toward the driver's side to provide more clearance between the hitch and muffler. This adjustment is made during step 9 after the hitch is raised into position and before final torquing, to ensure the muffler can be raised back into position without interference.
No drilling is required. The hitch uses existing frame holes and access points. The heat shield must be trimmed using metal shears, and rubber plugs must be removed from existing holes, but no new holes are drilled in the vehicle frame.
No. The manual explicitly states: 'Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch.' Use metal shears (tin snips) to trim the heat shield and other metal components as required.
An 11/16" socket is required to install the 7/16-14 hex nuts onto the carriage bolts. A 10 mm socket is also required to remove and reinstall the heat shield screws.
The carriage bolts are 7/16-14 x 1.50 inches, Grade 5 (6 bolts total). They must be torqued to 50 lb-ft (68 N·m) using a torque wrench.
If excess sway occurs, 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. Reduce speed and ensure the trailer is loaded heavier in front and within the hitch's weight limits (2000 lb GVWR, 200 lb tongue weight).
Never exceed any posted speed limit when towing. Slow down when towing and follow all applicable traffic laws and speed restrictions for your area.
Load the trailer heavier in front. This helps maintain stability and control while towing. Ensure the tongue weight does not exceed 200 lb and the total trailer weight does not exceed 2000 lb.
Check the hitch frequently, making sure all fasteners and ball are properly tightened. Periodic inspection is essential to ensure the hitch remains securely mounted to the vehicle during towing.
A hitch or ball which has been damaged should be removed and replaced. Do not continue to use a damaged hitch, as it may fail during towing and cause loss of control or injury.
If the hitch is removed, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes. This protects the vehicle's interior and prevents corrosion.
The manual does not specify a retorque interval. However, it recommends checking the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners remain properly tightened. Standard practice is to check fasteners after the first towing trip and periodically thereafter.
Spray a lubricant or soapy water on the rubber hangers. This makes them slide off the metal pins more easily. Allow the lubricant to soak for a few minutes before attempting removal.
Spacer blocks must sit flat inside the frame and must not overlap. If they are overlapping, reposition them so each block lies flat and parallel to the others. Ensure the 1/4" thick spacer blocks (item 2) are properly aligned on the access holes before pulling them fully into position.
The 1/8" spacer blocks (item 3) must sit flush against the bottom of the frame, not on the raised area. If they are positioned incorrectly, adjust the hitch position slightly. If necessary, adjust the hitch toward the driver's side to provide more clearance and allow the spacer blocks to sit properly flush against the frame bottom.
If the hitch interferes with the muffler, adjust the hitch toward the driver's side to provide more clearance between the hitch and muffler. Make this adjustment during step 9, after the hitch is raised into position and before final torquing.
Check that all fasteners are torqued to the correct specification: 50 lb-ft (68 N·m) for all 7/16-14 Grade 5 carriage bolts. Use a torque wrench to retorque any loose fasteners to this specification. Check the hitch frequently during use to ensure all fasteners remain properly tightened.
The T-One® T-Connector is a wiring harness that integrates a trailer connector into your vehicle's electrical system. It connects to your vehicle's taillight wiring harness on both sides and includes a black box that connects to the vehicle's battery, allowing you to safely power a trailer's lights and electrical systems.
Yes, the T-One® T-Connector part number 118629-037 is designed for the Scion FR-S. The manual confirms this is the correct application for this part number.
You will need: trim panel remover, 10mm socket and ratchet or 10mm wrench, drill with 3/32" drill bit, 1/4" socket, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips head screwdriver, and a test probe. Safety glasses are also required.
The kit includes: two T-Connector ends (one with yellow wire, one with green wire), a black box, double-sided tape for mounting the black box, cable ties for securing the harness, a white eyelet and screw for the ground connection, yellow butt connectors, a yellow fuse holder with fuse, and a ring terminal.
Yes. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (−) battery cable before connecting the fuse holder to the positive battery terminal. This is a required safety step in step 7 of the installation.
You must open the trunk and remove the threshold panel. You also need to partially remove the corner felt trunk liner on both sides to expose the vehicle's taillight wiring harness. These items must be reinstalled after installation.
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, you must verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces.
On the driver's side, locate the taillight wiring harness connector in the trunk. Separate the vehicle's connector carefully without breaking the locking tabs. Insert the T-Connector end with the yellow wire between the vehicle's wiring connectors and lock it into place. Repeat this process on the passenger's side using the T-Connector end with the green wire, routing it below the threshold cover. Ensure all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt, and that connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
Mount the T-One® black box on the driver's side near the taillight connectors using the double-sided tape provided. The tape is applied to the back of the black box to secure it to a suitable surface in the trunk area.
From inside the vehicle, connect the black 12 ga. wire and the red wire from the T-One® black box using the supplied yellow butt connector. Then route the black wire either through a grommet and along the exterior frame, or follow the existing wiring along the thresholds into the engine compartment up to the battery. Avoid areas that may pinch or break the wire. If routing through a grommet and along the exterior, carefully avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or other points that may pinch or break the wire.
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 to the vehicle's positive (+) battery cable, and secure it. Connect the other end of the fuse holder to the black 12 ga. wire using the yellow butt connector provided. This connection must be completed for the T-Connector to function properly.
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, reinstall all plastic trim panels, the threshold, storage covers, floor covering, and other items that were removed during installation, being careful not to pinch or cut the wires.
Test and verify the installation with a test light or trailer once installed. For the initial test, reset the vehicle's electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition. All connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly.
Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer's rating (including in your vehicle owner's manual) or the specific amperage ratings stated on the product. Overloading circuits can cause fires. Refer to the product label and your vehicle's owner's manual for the specific amperage rating.
Always wear safety glasses during installation. Read and follow all warnings and instructions printed on the tow vehicle's battery. 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 wires, avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or other points that may pinch or break the wire. Ensure all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt, and do not damage the locking tabs.
Store the 4-flat connector in the trunk area when not in use.
Yes, part 118629-037 is designed specifically for the Scion FR-S.

Yes, you must disconnect the vehicle's negative battery cable before connecting the fuse holder to the positive battery terminal.
Yellow wire connects to the driver's side taillight harness, green wire connects to the passenger's side taillight harness, white wire is the ground connection, black 12 ga. wire connects to the battery positive terminal via the fuse holder, and red wire from the black box connects to the black wire using a yellow butt connector.
Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer's rating or the specific amperage ratings stated on the product. Refer to the product label for the exact amperage specification.
Verify that all connections are complete. Check that the T-Connector ends are fully inserted into the taillight harness connectors with locking tabs in place on both sides. Ensure the white ground wire is securely fastened with the eyelet and screw. Verify that the black 12 ga. wire is properly connected to the fuse holder and that the fuse holder is securely attached to the vehicle's positive battery terminal with the ring terminal. Test the installation with a test light or trailer. Reset the vehicle's electrical system by temporarily removing the ignition key.
Ensure that the connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt. Do not force the connectors; they should insert smoothly. Verify that you are using the correct T-Connector end for each side: yellow wire on the driver's side, green wire on the passenger's side. Check that the vehicle's taillight connector mating surfaces match the T-Connector ends. Be careful not to damage the locking tabs during insertion. If the locking tabs are broken, the connector will not lock properly.
Route the black wire either through a grommet and along the exterior frame, or follow the existing wiring along the thresholds into the engine compartment. Avoid areas that may pinch or break the wire. If routing through a grommet and along the exterior, carefully avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or other points that may pinch or break the wire.
