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 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 hitch types. However, do not exceed the lower of your towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or these limits.
Required tools are: ratchet, torque wrench, safety glasses, socket, 6'' socket extension, flat head screwdriver, 7/8'' socket, and exhaust removal pliers.
Fastener kit 76020F includes: (4) carriage bolts ½"-13 x 1.75 Gr8, (4) conical washers 1/2'', (4) blocks 1/4'' x 1'' x 3'', (4) hex nuts ½"-13 Gr8, and (4) pull wires ½''.
Yes. The first step is to remove the plastic expanding fasteners from the lower trim panel to access the installation area. The panel should be returned to the vehicle owner after installation.
Yes. You must pry off the four rubber exhaust hangers using exhaust removal pliers or a suitable tool. Spray with soapy water to make removal easier. Be sure to support the exhaust system during this process.
The fishwire method is used to route the carriage bolts and blocks through the vehicle frame access holes to the attachment points. Pull wires are attached to the bolts and left in place until the hitch is raised into position. The pull wires are then removed and the conical washers and hex nuts are installed onto the carriage bolts. See Figures 2 and 3 in the manual for detailed illustrations.
All hitch fasteners must be tightened to 110 Lb.-Ft. (149 N·M) using a torque wrench. Proper torque is essential to keep the hitch secure to the vehicle when towing.
The conical washers must be installed with the teeth side facing toward the hitch. This orientation is critical for proper fastener engagement.
After raising the hitch into position: (1) guide the fishwire ends through the attachment holes, (2) remove the pull wires, (3) install the conical washers (teeth side toward hitch) and ½'' hex nuts onto the carriage bolts, and (4) ensure no wires or other items have been pinched between the hitch and vehicle frame.
Yes. After tightening all hitch fasteners, raise the exhaust back into position and reinstall all four exhaust hangers.
Check that all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual recommends checking the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners remain tight during use.
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.
Load the trailer heavier in front. This helps maintain proper weight distribution and stability while towing.
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.
Check the hitch frequently, making sure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual does not specify an exact interval, but periodic inspection is required.
A hitch or ball which has been damaged should be removed and replaced. Do not continue using a damaged hitch.
Return the plastic expanding fasteners and lower trim panel to the vehicle owner after installation.
If the hitch is removed, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes.
Slow down when towing and never exceed any posted speed limit. Always wear your seatbelt while towing.

The T-One® T-Connector is a trailer wiring harness module designed to provide electrical connections for towing a trailer. It connects to your vehicle's existing trailer tow plug and grounds to the vehicle's electrical system, allowing you to safely power trailer lights and accessories. The product includes a black box-module that houses the electrical connections and a harness with cable ties for secure routing.
Yes, the T-One® T-Connector (part number 118278-037) is designed for the Mazda CX-9. The installation instructions are specific to this vehicle model. If you have a different model year or variant, confirm compatibility with the manufacturer or your retailer before purchasing.
You will need: a trim panel puller, a test-probe, and a 10mm socket or wrench. The trim panel puller is used to carefully remove interior trim panels without damaging clips. The test-probe is used to verify electrical connections. The 10mm socket or wrench is used to loosen and tighten the ground stud nut.
The T-One® T-Connector includes a black box-module, a harness with a white wire with ring terminal for grounding, cable ties for securing the harness, and an 8-pin tow plug adapter. The manual does not specify whether additional fasteners or connectors are included beyond these items.
You must remove the following items to access the spare tire area and trailer tow plug: the cargo nets, cargo floor hatch, all floor coverings, the threshold plate, and the lower interior trim panels on the passenger's side only. The trailer tow plug is located behind the trim panel on the passenger's side. Be careful not to damage clips when removing these components.
Locate the vehicle's trailer tow plug behind the lower interior trim panel on the passenger's side. Insert the 8-pin tow plug adapter into the tow plug and lock it into place. Ensure that the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. The adapter serves as the connection point between the T-Connector harness and the vehicle's electrical system.
Locate the existing ground stud near the tow plug connector. Loosen the nut on the stud. Place the T-Connector's white wire with ring terminal onto the stud. Retighten the nut securely, making sure that all existing ground connections remain attached. This ground connection is essential for the T-Connector to function properly.
Mount the black box-module on a flat surface in an out-of-the-way location inside the vehicle. This placement prevents damage to the module and reduces rattling during vehicle operation. Avoid areas where the module could be struck or where it might interfere with vehicle operation or occupants.
Use the cable ties provided with the T-Connector to secure the harness along its route from the tow plug to the black box-module. Route the harness carefully to avoid areas where it could be pinched, cut, or melted by hot surfaces. Secure all sections of the harness to prevent damage and rattling during vehicle operation.
After installation, reinstall all interior trim panels, the threshold plate, storage covers, floor coverings, cargo floor hatch, and cargo nets that were removed during installation. Be careful not to pinch or cut the T-Connector wires when reinstalling these components. Then test and verify the installation using a test light or by connecting a trailer before operating the vehicle.
All connections must be complete before testing. To test, reset the vehicle electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition. Then verify the installation using a test light or by connecting a trailer to confirm that all circuits are functioning correctly. Do not operate the vehicle with a trailer until the T-Connector has been tested and verified to be working properly.
The manual states that you must not exceed the lower of two ratings: the towing manufacturing rating in your vehicle's owner's manual, or the specific amperage ratings stated on the T-Connector product itself. The manual does not list the specific amperage rating for this product. Check the product label or contact the manufacturer for the exact amperage specification.
Yes. Overloading circuits can cause fires. You must not exceed the stated product ratings or the towing manufacturing rating in your vehicle's owner's manual, whichever is lower. Always read and follow all warnings and instructions printed on your vehicle's battery before installation. Exceeding the amperage rating is a serious safety hazard.
Always wear safety glasses during installation. Use all safety precautions recommended in the manual. Be careful not to damage vehicle clips when removing trim panels. Avoid pinching, cutting, or melting wires during installation and reassembly. Read and follow all warnings and instructions included with the product and in your vehicle's owner's manual before beginning installation.
