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 76209 hitch fits 2018-Current Subaru Crosstrek and 2018-Current Subaru Impreza Hatchback. Visit the manufacturer's website for the most up-to-date information regarding specific application years and trim levels.
The 76209 is a weight-carrying hitch with a maximum gross trailer weight of 4500 lb (2043 kg) and maximum tongue weight of 675 lb (306 kg). Do not exceed the lower of your towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or these limits.
Required tools: ratchet, torque wrench, safety glasses, sockets, 6" socket extension, 11/16" universal joint socket, flat head screwdriver, exhaust removal pliers, and utility knife. Installation time is approximately 60 minutes for professional installers.
No drilling is required. The hitch uses existing frame holes. You will remove two rubber plugs from pre-drilled holes in the frame bottom on each side of the vehicle and use a pull wire technique to feed fasteners through the frame.
Yes. You must lower the muffler by removing four rubber hangers (two on the left side, one on the right side, and one in the middle) using exhaust removal pliers. The muffler is then raised and reattached after hitch installation.
All 7/16-14 Gr5 fasteners must be tightened to 50 Lb.-Ft. (68 N·M) using a torque wrench. A universal joint socket may be required to tighten the rearmost bolts.
Always wear your seatbelt. Load the trailer heavier in front. Slow down when towing and never exceed posted speed limits. If excess sway occurs, take your foot off the gas pedal and hold the steering wheel steady—do not apply brakes or speed up. Always read and follow your vehicle manufacturer's towing instructions.
Check that all fasteners are tight and the hitch is securely mounted to the vehicle. Periodically verify that all fasteners and the ball remain properly tightened during use.
The part numbers are 76209, 84209, and CQT76209. These are equivalent part numbers for the same hitch model.
No. The 76209 is designed for 2018-Current Subaru Crosstrek models. The 2017 model year is not listed as compatible. Contact the manufacturer or visit their website to confirm fitment for your specific year and trim level.
No. The 76209 is compatible only with the Subaru Impreza Hatchback (2018-Current). Sedan models are not listed as compatible applications.
The fastener kit (76209F) includes: four 7/16" carriage bolts (7/16-14 x 1.50), four conical tooth washers (7/16"), four hex nuts (7/16-14), four spacers (1/4 x 7/8 x 3, part no. HE-2370-000), two blocks (0.250 x 1.50 x 2.00, part no. 01097002), and four pull wires (7/16, part no. 5481).
The manual does not specify battery disconnection as a requirement for this hitch installation.
The pull wire technique (also called reverse fishwire) works as follows: Feed the coiled end of the pull wire through the rearmost attachment hole and out through the forward-most access and attachment hole in the frame bottom. Attach the 7/16" carriage bolt and spacer to the pull wire, then pull the fasteners into position on both sides. Kink the pull wire to keep the spacer independent of the bolt. Refer to Figures 2 and 3 in the manual for detailed visual guidance.
Using tape, install the block (part no. 01097002) between the hitch and the frame at the access hole. This block is positioned after the fasteners are fed through the frame and before the hitch is raised into final position.
The conical washer teeth side must be against the hitch. This is shown in the fastener diagram on page 3.
Leave the fasteners loose initially. After raising the hitch into position, loosely install the conical washers and hex nuts onto the carriage bolts at all four locations. Only after the hitch is properly positioned should you tighten all fasteners to 50 Lb.-Ft. (68 N·M) using a torque wrench.
Using a flat head screwdriver, remove the two rubber plugs (one rear and one forward) from the holes in the bottom of the frame on each side of the vehicle. Return the plugs to the customer. Use a utility knife to remove excess caulk near the access hole. If the seam is exposed, reseal it.
If the seam is exposed after removing the rubber plugs and excess caulk, reseal the seam to prevent water and exhaust fume entry.
The muffler has four rearmost rubber hangers: two on the left side of the exhaust, one on the right side, and one in the middle of the vehicle. All four must be removed to lower the muffler during installation.
The manual recommends spraying lubricant on the rubber hangers to make them slide off the metal pins more easily. The specific type of lubricant is not specified.
Yes. The manual explicitly states: 'Be careful that exhaust is supported before removing rubber hangers.' Ensure the exhaust is properly supported to prevent it from falling or being damaged during hanger removal.
Raise the muffler back into position and reattach the rubber hangers: two per side and one in the middle (four total). Ensure all hangers are properly seated on the metal pins.
The carriage bolts are 7/16-14 x 1.50 inches. There are four bolts total, one at each attachment point.
The spacers are 1/4 x 7/8 x 3 inches, part number HE-2370-000. Four spacers are included in the fastener kit.
The blocks are 0.250 x 1.50 x 2.00 inches, part number 01097002. Two blocks are included in the fastener kit and are installed between the hitch and frame at the access holes.
The pull wire part number is 5481. Four pull wires (7/16 inch) are included in the fastener kit.
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. These actions will help stabilize the trailer.
Load the trailer heavier in front. This helps maintain proper weight distribution and improves towing stability.
Yes. The manual explicitly states: 'Always wear SAFETY GLASSES when installing hitch.' Safety glasses are also listed as required equipment.
No. The manual explicitly states: 'Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch.' Use the existing pre-drilled holes in the frame.
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 which has been damaged should be removed and replaced. Do not continue towing with a damaged hitch or ball.
Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle and wear eye protection. The manual does not specify additional details beyond these general safety requirements.
Check the hitch frequently, making sure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual does not specify an exact interval but emphasizes periodic inspection during use.
The manual does not specify a retorque interval. It recommends checking fasteners frequently to ensure they remain tight, but does not state when or how often to retorque them.
The 76209 is a weight-carrying hitch. Weight-distributing specifications are listed as N/A in the manual.
No. The manual explicitly states: 'DO NOT cut, weld or modify this receiver.' Any modifications will void the warranty and may compromise safety.
The 76209 includes a Limited Lifetime Warranty covering material defects and workmanship, excluding ordinary wear and tear. The warranty is valid only if the product is installed, maintained, and used according to the manual instructions. Product replacement is the sole remedy. Contact Horizon Global Americas Inc. at 47912 Halyard Drive, Suite 100, Plymouth, MI 48170, or 1-800-632-3290 to make a warranty claim. You must provide the product and purchase receipt.
The manual states that the average installation time for professional installers is 60 minutes. It recommends: 'If you do not feel comfortable performing this installation on your own or are in need of assistance, please contact a professional installer.'
The manual does not specify whether additional people or lifting equipment are required for installation.
No permanent modifications are required. The hitch uses existing pre-drilled holes in the frame. You will remove rubber plugs from these holes and remove excess caulk, but the holes already exist. After installation, if the hitch is removed, you should plug the holes to prevent water and exhaust fume entry.
Spray lubricant on the rubber hangers to make them slide off the metal pins more easily. Allow the lubricant to penetrate for a moment before attempting removal.
Ensure all fasteners are tightened to the correct torque specification of 50 Lb.-Ft. (68 N·M) using a torque wrench. The manual emphasizes that 'proper torque is needed to keep the hitch secure to the vehicle when towing.' Check fasteners frequently during use and retighten if necessary. If fasteners continue to loosen, verify that conical washers are installed with teeth side against the hitch, as this provides a locking action.
The manual warns to 'Raise hitch into position being careful not to push fasteners back into the frame.' If fasteners are pushed back, you will need to use the pull wire technique again to reposition them before raising the hitch.
Yes, this T-Connector is designed for the Subaru Impreza Hatchback. The installation instructions are specific to this vehicle model.

Route the harness with the yellow wire underneath the vehicle and up through the opening between the bumper and body to the driver's side taillight pocket. Route the T-Connector end with the green wire up through the opening on the passenger's side. Route the black 12 ga. power wire along the exterior frame or follow existing wiring along the thresholds into the engine compartment to the battery. Avoid hot pipes, heat shields, fuel tank, and any points that may pinch or break the wires.
Disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable first. Locate the black 12 ga. power wire from the T-Connector box. Attach the black 12 ga. wire provided. 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 ga. wire using the yellow butt connector provided. Finally, reconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable and install the 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder.
Install a 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder. This fuse is provided with the kit and must be installed after the battery cable is reconnected.
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.
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. All connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly.
Yes. After completing the T-Connector installation, 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 these components.
