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.

Center hitch on vehicle. 9. Tighten all fasteners to 50 Lb.-Ft. 10. Reinstall carbon canister. 11. Reinstall exhaust.
Insert the spacer block and carriage bolt into the attachment holes in the frame through the enlarged holes on both sides using fish wire. Leave the fish wires attached. This is done for both the rearward attachment holes (Figure 4) and forward attachment holes (Figure 5). The fish wire helps route the bolts through the frame before final tightening.
The conical washer must be installed with the teeth side facing toward the hitch. This is shown in Figure 1 and is critical for proper fastening.
Yes. On the passenger side, the heat shield must be sandwiched between the frame rail and the hitch during installation.
Fasteners are hand-tightened in step 7 after the hitch is raised into position and the nuts and conical washers are installed. They are then fully tightened to 50 Lb.-Ft. in step 9 using a torque wrench after the hitch is centered on the vehicle.
Always wear safety glasses when installing the hitch. Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle and wear eye protection. Be sure the exhaust is supported before removing from rubber hangers to prevent damage. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. If the hitch is removed, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes.
Always wear your seatbelt. Slow down when towing and never exceed any posted speed limit. Load the trailer heavier in front. Do not exceed the lower of your towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or 2000 Lb. GVWR / 300 Lb. 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 your brakes and do not speed up.

Yes, the T-One T-Connector (118794-037) is designed for the Nissan Kicks. The installation instructions are specific to this vehicle model.
The T-One T-Connector is a trailer wiring harness that integrates with your vehicle's taillight system to provide electrical connections for towing a trailer. It uses a 4-flat connector to supply power and ground signals to the trailer.
You will need: 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: double-sided tape for mounting the black box, a white wire with eyelet and screw for grounding, a black 12 ga. power wire, a yellow fuse holder with 15 amp fuse, a yellow butt connector, and cable ties for securing the harness. The 4-flat connector end is included but requires a separate mounting bracket or electrical box (not included).
Yes. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (−) battery cable before connecting the power wire to the positive battery terminal. This is done in Step 10. After all connections are complete, you reconnect the negative battery cable and install the 15 amp fuse in Step 11.
Yes. You must open the rear tailgate and remove two 10mm screws on both the driver and passenger sides to remove the taillights. This gives you access to the taillight wiring harness connectors where the T-Connector plugs in. After removing the screws, carefully pull the taillights away from the vehicle without damaging the alignment pins.
Mount the black box underneath the vehicle behind the rear bumper fascia on the driver's side using the double-sided tape provided. The unit must be in a protected area where it cannot be damaged by road debris or objects driven over. The epoxy side of the module must point toward the ground to prevent water buildup. Ensure the trailer's wire harness has adequate length to reach this mounting point.
On the driver's side, route the T-Connector end with yellow wires up between the bumper and vehicle body into the taillight pocket, then plug it between the mating plugs on the driver's side taillight socket and vehicle wiring harness (Step 5). On the passenger's side, route the T-Connector end with green wire up through the opening on the passenger side, avoiding hot pipes, heat shields, and the fuel tank, then plug it between the mating plugs on the passenger's side taillight socket and vehicle wiring harness (Steps 6–7). Before plugging in, ensure all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt.
Route the 4-flat connector underneath and to the center of the vehicle, underneath the bumper. Mount the 4-flat end in an accessible location using a bracket or electrical box (not included). The manual does not specify the exact mounting location beyond 'accessible.'
Yes. You must drill one 3/32" hole to secure the white ground wire using the eyelet and screw provided. Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector on the vehicle's frame or crossmember. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed. Before drilling, verify what is behind any surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces.
The T-One T-Connector uses a 15 amp fuse. The fuse is installed in the yellow fuse holder provided in the kit and is connected between the black 12 ga. power wire and the vehicle's positive battery terminal.
The power wire is black 12 ga. (12 gauge). The ground wire is white. The T-Connector harness ends are color-coded: yellow wires on the driver's side taillight connection and green wires on the passenger's side taillight connection.
Route the black 12 ga. power wire from the T-Connector box 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. Attach the ring terminal to the vehicle's positive (+) battery cable. Connect the other end of the fuse holder (which contains the 15 amp fuse) to the black 12 ga. wire using the yellow butt connector provided. Reconnect the negative battery cable and install the 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as the vehicle's frame or crossmember. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area. Drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed.
Always wear safety glasses during installation. Read and follow all warnings and cautions printed on the tow vehicle's battery. 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. Verify what is behind any surface before drilling to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. When routing wires, avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, and any areas that may pinch or break the wire. Do not drill into the vehicle floor, bed, or exposed surfaces. Overloading circuits can cause fires.
All connections must be complete for the T-One T-Connector to function properly. 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.
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. When routing the black power wire, follow the exterior frame or existing wiring along the thresholds, avoiding hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, and any points that may pinch or break the wire.
Yes. Before separating and connecting the taillight wiring harness, ensure all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt. This ensures proper electrical contact.
