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.

The 76217 hitch has a maximum gross trailer weight of 4500 lb (2043 kg) and a maximum tongue weight of 675 lb (306 kg) for both weight carrying and weight distributing configurations. However, you must not exceed the lower of your towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or these limits.
The fastener kit 76217F includes: (2) handle nuts 1/2"-13 (Part# 1332), (2) blocks 0.250" x 1" x 3" (Part# 3022), (2) carriage bolts 1/2"-13 x 1.5" (Part# 55563), (4) conical washers 1/2" (Part# 01292008), (2) hex nuts 1/2"-13, (2) bolts 1/2"-13 x 1.75", and (2) fish wires 1/2"-13 (Part# 5482).
Required tools include: T15 and T20 star bit drivers, 7mm, 8mm, 13mm, and 15mm sockets, 3/4" socket, 6" socket extension, ratchet, torque wrench, safety glasses, marker, tape measure, flat-head screwdriver, plastic trim tools, and utility knife.
Yes, the rear bumper must be removed as part of the installation process. The bumper is removed in step 2 and is not reinstalled after hitch installation. The bumper should be returned to the vehicle owner.
The urea tank does not need to be completely removed, but it must be lowered to allow access to the frame rail attachment points. Step 3 details the process of lowering the tank by removing push pins, electrical connectors, and bolts. The tank is then reinstalled in step 7.
The installation sequence is: (1) Remove rear fascia by removing screws and bolts from wheel wells and trunk, then disconnect electrical connection; (2) Remove bumper by removing nuts and bolts; (3) Lower urea tank by removing push pins, electrical connectors, and bolts; (4) Slide hitch into position and align with attachment holes; (5) Attach rear fasteners (fish wire, carriage bolt, and hex nut) and forward fasteners (handle nut, conical washer, and bolt) loosely; (6) Torque all fasteners; (7) Trim fascia opening; (8) Reinstall urea tank, bracket, exhaust bracket, and fascia in reverse order.
Slide the hitch into position aligning with the attachment holes. For the rear attachment, use fish wire (item p) to thread items k (carriage bolt) and l (block) through the rear of the frame, then loosely attach items m (conical washer) and n (hex nut). For the forward attachment, bend the handle nut (item j) as needed, feed it into the vehicle frame rail to align with the attachment hole, and loosely install items m (conical washer) and o (bolt). All fasteners are tightened in step 5.
Torque all 1/2" handle nut fasteners to 50 ft-lb and all 1/2" carriage bolts to 75 ft-lb. Proper torque is essential to keep the hitch securely mounted to the vehicle when towing.
No drilling is required. The hitch uses existing frame attachment holes. However, the rear bumper fascia must be trimmed. At the bottom of the fascia, trim a 5" x 3.75" opening from the center of the fascia (see Figure 2).
No. The manual explicitly states: "Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch." Use a utility knife or other appropriate cutting tool to trim the 5" x 3.75" opening from the center of the rear bumper fascia.
No. The manual explicitly states: "DO NOT cut, weld or modify this receiver." Any modifications to the hitch are prohibited and will void the warranty and compromise safety.
The conical washers (item m, Part# 01292008) are used with both the rear and forward attachment fasteners. The teeth side of the conical washer must be positioned against the hitch. Four conical washers are included in the kit (two for rear attachment and two for forward attachment).
When installing the rear fasteners, the fish wire (item p) should be kinked or bent to keep the block spacer (item k) independent and separate from the carriage bolt (item l). This ensures proper spacing and alignment of the fasteners during installation.
Fasteners are installed loosely in step 4 to allow proper alignment of the hitch with the frame attachment holes. Once all fasteners are in place and the hitch is properly positioned, they are then torqued to specification in step 5 to ensure a secure connection.
During fascia removal (step 1d), one electrical connection on the passenger side must be unclipped and disconnected. During urea tank lowering (step 3b), three electrical connectors must be removed from the urea tank. These connections are reconnected during the reinstallation phase (step 7) in reverse order.
Do not remove the hose from the bottom of the urea tank. The hose can be unclipped as needed for extra clearance during tank lowering, but it should not be disconnected. Support the tank as needed to allow access to the frame rail while protecting the hose.
Save the following fasteners for reinstallation: (2) bolts from the urea tank bracket (removed in step 2b) and the urea tank mounting bracket itself (removed in step 2c). These are reinstalled in step 7. The bumper nuts and bolts should be returned to the vehicle owner, not reused.
The exhaust bracket must be removed from the metal hanger in step 2c. After removal, the exhaust will hang from the center rubber isolator. The exhaust bracket is then reinstalled in step 7 in reverse order.
After installation, check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual emphasizes that proper torque is needed to keep the hitch secure to the vehicle when towing. If the hitch is removed at any time, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes.
The manual states: "Check hitch frequently, making sure all fasteners and ball are properly tightened." However, the manual does not specify an exact interval (e.g., every 100 miles, monthly, etc.). For a specific maintenance schedule, contact technical support at 800-632-3290.
Always wear safety glasses when installing the hitch. Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. If the hitch or ball becomes damaged, it must be removed and replaced immediately. A damaged hitch should not be used for towing.
Load the trailer heavier in front. Always wear your seatbelt. Slow down when towing and never exceed any posted speed limit. Do not exceed the lower of your towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or the hitch rating (4500 lb max gross trailer weight, 675 lb max tongue weight). If excess sway occurs, take your foot off the gas pedal and hold the steering wheel as steady as possible. Do not apply brakes and do not speed up.
The average installation time for professional installers is 70 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-One® Connector is designed for the GMC Terrain. The installation involves connecting to the vehicle's existing taillight wiring harness on both driver and passenger sides.
The T-One® Connector is a trailer wiring interface that taps into your vehicle's taillight wiring harness to provide power and signal connections for a trailer. It connects to both the driver and passenger side taillights and routes power from the vehicle battery through a fused connection to a 4-Flat trailer connector.
Required tools are: Trim Panel Remover, 10mm Socket & Ratchet or 10mm Wrench, Drill with 3/32" Drill Bit, 1/4" Socket, Wire Crimpers, Wire Cutters, Phillips Head Screwdriver, Test-probe, and Torx 10 Driver.
Yes. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable before connecting the power wire to the battery. This is done in Step 10. After all connections are complete, you reconnect the negative battery cable in Step 11.
Open the rear tailgate. On both driver and passenger sides, remove two Torx-10 screws. Carefully pull the taillight away from the vehicle, being careful not to damage the alignment pins. Remove the taillight housing and set aside. The taillight wiring harness will be accessible behind the removed taillight.
Mount the black box underneath the vehicle behind the rear bumper fascia on the driver's side using the double-sided tape provided. Ensure the trailer's wire harness has adequate length to reach this point. The module must be in a protected area where it cannot be damaged by road debris, and the epoxy side must face the ground to prevent water buildup.
On the driver's side, fish the T-One® Connector end with the yellow wires up between the bumper and vehicle body into the taillight pocket. Plug this end in-between the mating plugs on the driver's side taillight socket and vehicle wiring harness.
Route the T-One® Connector end with green wire to the passenger's side and route the 4-Flat underneath the bumper. Route the green wire end up through the opening on the passenger side, being careful to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, fuel tank or other points that may pinch or break the wire. Plug it in-between the mating plugs on the passenger's side taillight socket and vehicle wiring harness.
Yes. You must drill a 3/32" hole to secure the white ground wire. Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector such as the vehicle's frame or crossmember (do not drill into vehicle floor or bed). Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area, drill the 3/32" hole, and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided.
Before drilling, verify what is behind any surface to avoid damage to the vehicle and/or personal injury. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed. Always wear safety glasses during installation.
The T-One® Connector uses a 15 amp fuse. The fuse is installed in the yellow fuse holder provided with the kit after all connections are complete.
On the driver's side, locate the black 12 ga. power wire from the T-One® Connector box. Attach the black 12 ga. 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. After cutting 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 ga. wire using the yellow butt connector provided.
The T-One® Connector uses yellow wires on the driver's side connection, green wires on the passenger's side connection, black 12 ga. wire for power from the battery, and white wire for ground. A yellow butt connector is also provided for connecting the fuse holder to the black power wire.
Route the 4-Flat harness underneath and to the center of the vehicle. Mount the 4-Flat end in an accessible location with a bracket or electrical box (not included).
Secure the remainder of the T-One® 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.
All connections must be complete for the T-One® Connector to function properly. Test and verify 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.
Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer rating (including in your vehicle owner's manual) or the specific amperage ratings stated on the product. Overloading circuits can cause fires.
After reconnecting the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable, install the 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder. Then test and verify the installation with a test light or trailer. For the initial test, reset the vehicle electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition.
Yes. All connector surfaces should be clean and free of dirt before connecting the T-One® Connector to the vehicle's taillight wiring harness.
After removing the two Torx-10 screws and carefully pulling the taillight away from the vehicle, remove the taillight housing and set it aside. You will need to reinstall it after connecting the T-One® Connector.
After all wiring connections are complete and the harness is secured with cable ties, reinstall the plastic trim panels, threshold, storage covers, floor covering and other items that may have been removed during installation. Be careful not to pinch or cut the wires when reinstalling.
Route the black 12 ga. power wire along the exterior frame or follow existing wiring along the thresholds into the engine compartment up to the battery. Avoid areas that may pinch or break the wire. If routing the wire through a grommet and along the exterior of the vehicle, be careful to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, fuel tank or other points that may pinch or break the wire.
