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. Part number 76018 is designed for 2016-Current BMW X1 models. Visit the Cequent website for the most up-to-date information regarding specific application years and trim levels.
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. However, do not exceed the lower of your towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or these limits.
Required tools include: ratchet, torque wrench, safety glasses, sockets (8 mm, 10 mm, 18 mm, 3/4"), 6" socket extension, flat head screwdriver, drill, 1" holesaw, tape measure, marker, exhaust removal pliers, and tin snips.
Fastener kit 76018F includes: (2) carriage bolts ½"-13 x 1.75 Gr5, (2) conical washers 1/2", (2) blocks 1/4" x 1" x 3", (2) hex nuts ½"-13 Gr5, and (2) pull wires ½".
Yes. You must drill two 1" holes (one on each side) for the forward hitch attachments using a 1" holesaw. The hitch is used as a template to mark the hole locations after it is positioned on the lower bumper studs.
Yes. The heat shield must be trimmed with two cuts. Starting from the lower portion, measure ½" inward from the outermost screw holes and draw a line across. On the upper portion, draw a line ½" from the top. Trim across both lines using tin snips.
Yes. Use a 10 mm socket to remove the nut on both rear exhaust hangers, then pry off one rubber exhaust hanger near the transaxle using exhaust removal pliers or a suitable tool. Spraying with soapy water makes this easier. The exhaust hangers are reinstalled after the hitch installation is complete.
The sensor bar is held to the vehicle by two nuts. You do not need to completely remove it; only loosen the two 10 mm nuts holding it to ease the hitch installation. Tighten the sensor bar again during the final reinstallation step.
Yes. Use an 8 mm socket to remove eight screws and four plastic expanding fasteners, then gently unclip and pull the fascia off. Set it aside for reinstallation after the hitch installation is complete.
All hitch fasteners must be tightened to 75 Lb.-Ft. (102 N·M) using a torque wrench. This includes the carriage bolts at the forward attachments and the nuts on the lower bumper studs.
The reverse fishwire method is used to install the carriage bolts and blocks into the drilled holes. Insert the bolt and block into the frame, align the block on the access hole, then pull the bolt through the block. Leave the pull wires attached until the hitch is raised into final position, then remove them before installing the conical washer and hex nut.
The conical washer must be installed with the teeth side facing toward the hitch. It is placed on the carriage bolt before the ½" hex nut is installed at the forward attachment.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. Proper torque is needed to keep the hitch secure to the vehicle when towing. 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. The manual does not specify an exact interval, but emphasizes the importance of periodic checks to maintain secure mounting during towing.
Do not exceed the lower of your towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or 4500 lb (2043 kg) gross trailer weight with a maximum tongue weight of 675 lb (306 kg). These limits apply to both weight carrying and weight distributing configurations.
Load the trailer heavier in front. This helps maintain proper weight distribution and stability while towing.
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.
Do not cut, weld, or modify the receiver. These modifications could compromise the structural integrity and safety of the hitch.
The manual states that the average installation time for professional installers is 40 minutes. If you do not feel comfortable performing this installation on your own or are in need of assistance, contact a professional installer.

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.
