So, whether you are headed out to the campground, the lake, or the bike trails, or you are tackling a project at home and need to haul the materials home, choose DRAW-TITE and travel with confidence knowing your setup is connected with the security only DRAW-TITE can provide. 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, this hitch is designed for 2019-Current Acura RDX models. However, the manual recommends visiting the manufacturer's website at www.horizonglobal.com for the most up-to-date information regarding specific application years and trim levels, as compatibility may vary.
No. This is a weight-carrying hitch only. Weight-distributing capability is listed as "n/a" in the product specifications. It is not designed for weight-distributing trailers.
The fastener kit (76268F) includes: (4) M12 x 1.25 x 40mm Class 10.9 hex bolts and (4) 1/2-inch conical washers (part number 01292008). The conical washers must be installed with the teeth side facing toward the hitch.
Install the conical washers with the teeth side facing toward the hitch. The washers are placed between the hex bolts and the hitch attachment points on the vehicle's weldnuts.
Follow these steps in order: (1) Lower the spare tire and set aside; (2) Lower the exhaust by removing rubber hangers from in front of and behind the muffler, supporting the exhaust to prevent damage; (3) Raise the hitch into position, aligning attachment holes to the rearmost weldnuts on each side of the frame rail, and install bolts and conical washers (teeth side toward hitch); (4) Tighten all M12 fasteners to 42 lb-ft (57 N·m) with a torque wrench; (5) Raise the exhaust back into position, reinstall all hangers, and reinstall the spare tire.
Align the hitch attachment holes to the rearmost weldnuts in the side of the frame rail on each side of the vehicle. Make sure the weldnuts are clear from rust and debris before installation.
Using exhaust removal pliers or a prybar, remove the rubber exhaust hangers from in front of the muffler and behind the muffler. Be sure to support the exhaust to prevent damage during removal and while the hitch is being installed.
Locate the lowering tools and mechanism in your vehicle (consult your vehicle owner's manual for specific instructions), then lower the spare tire and set it aside. You will reinstall it after the hitch installation is complete.
All M12 fasteners must be tightened to 42 lb-ft (57 N·m) using a torque wrench. Proper torque is essential to keep the hitch secure to the vehicle when towing.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual emphasizes that periodic checking is necessary to maintain secure mounting during towing.
If excessive 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. Reduce speed and maintain steady steering control.
Load the trailer heavier in front. This helps maintain proper weight distribution and stability while towing.
Slow down when towing and never exceed any posted speed limit. The manual emphasizes that reduced speed is essential for safe towing.
No. Do not cut, weld, or modify this receiver. Any modifications will compromise the structural integrity and safety of the hitch.
The manual states that the average installation time for professional installers is 30 minutes. If you do not feel comfortable performing this installation on your own or are in need of assistance, please contact a professional installer.
If the hitch is removed, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes. This protects the vehicle's interior and prevents corrosion.
A hitch or ball which has been damaged should be removed and replaced. Do not attempt to repair a damaged hitch, as it may not be safe for towing.

The spare tire must be lowered and removed before hitch installation. The manual does not specify whether the hitch interferes with the spare tire when it is reinstalled. Consult the manufacturer or a professional installer for clarification on spare tire clearance after installation.
The exhaust must be lowered during installation by removing the rubber hangers from in front of and behind the muffler. The manual does not specify whether the hitch interferes with the exhaust when it is reinstalled. Consult the manufacturer or a professional installer for clarification on exhaust clearance after installation.
Check that all fasteners are tight using a torque wrench. All M12 fasteners must be tightened to 42 lb-ft (57 N·m). The manual emphasizes: "Check hitch frequently, making sure all fasteners and ball are properly tightened." If fasteners are loose, retorque them to the specified value.
The manual states: "Make sure the weldnuts are clear from rust and debris. Raise the hitch into position aligning the attachment holes to the rearmost weldnuts in the side of the frame rail." If alignment is difficult, ensure the weldnuts are clean and the hitch is being raised straight into position. If alignment remains impossible, the vehicle may not be compatible or may require professional assessment.
The manual states: "Using exhaust removal pliers or prybar remove the rubber exhaust hangers from in front of the muffler and behind the muffler. Be sure to support the exhaust to prevent damage." If the exhaust hangers are stuck or corroded, apply penetrating oil and allow time for it to soak. If the exhaust still cannot be lowered safely, consult a professional mechanic or installer.
The T-One T-Connector (part number 118800-037) is shown to fit the Acura RDX in the manual. However, the manual does not provide a complete list of compatible vehicles. Before purchasing, verify that your vehicle has an 8-pin connector located behind the rear interior trim panel and confirm the presence of two separate red wires in that connector. If your vehicle has only one red wire, you will need part number 118804 instead.
If your vehicle's 8-pin connector has only one red wire, the T-One part number 118804 is required instead of the 118800. Before installation, inspect the wires going into the vehicle's 8-pin connector and confirm the presence of two separate red wires. If only one red wire is present, do not proceed with the 118800 installation.
You will need: trim panel remover, 10mm socket and ratchet or 10mm wrench, drill with 3/32" drill bit, 1/4" socket, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips head screwdriver, and test-probe. These tools are required for trim removal, grounding, and electrical testing.
You must remove the lower interior trim panels on the driver's side only. The manual also requires temporary removal of the rear hatch, rear threshold plate, privacy screen, storage covers, and floor covering to access the 8-pin connector located behind the rear interior trim panel. Be careful not to damage clips when removing panels, and set aside all fasteners and removed items.
Drilling may be required depending on your grounding method. If you use Option 1 (existing ground stud on driver's side), no drilling is needed—you loosen the bolt, place the screw eyelet on the stud, and re-tighten. If you use Option 2 (new grounding point), you must drill a 3/32" hole near the connector in the vehicle's frame or crossmember. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed. Always verify what is behind any surface before drilling to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury.
If using Option 2 grounding, drill a 3/32" hole in the vehicle's frame or crossmember near the connector. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area before drilling, and verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury.
The vehicle's 8-pin connector is located behind the rear interior trim panel. To access it, open the rear hatch, temporarily remove the rear threshold plate, privacy screen, storage covers, and floor covering. Open the rear door and fold the rear seat forward. Then partially remove the lower interior trim panels on the driver's side only. The 8-pin connector will be visible behind these panels.
You have two options. Option 1: On the driver's side, locate the existing ground stud, loosen the bolt, place the screw eyelet on the stud, and re-tighten the bolt. Make sure all other ground connections are secure when removing and reattaching the ground stud. Option 2: Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector such as the vehicle's frame or crossmember, clean 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.
Mount the black box-module on a flat surface in an out-of-the-way place to prevent damage or rattling. The exact location is not specified in the manual, but it should be positioned to avoid interference with vehicle operation and to protect it from damage.
Secure the remainder of the 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 reinstalling trim panels, be careful not to pinch or cut the wires. Do not pinch the harness in the door latch.
Store the 4-flat connector in the rear cargo area when not in use. When in use, pull the 4-flat connector through the door and close the door. Be careful not to pinch the harness in the door latch.
The ground wire is white. It is secured using the eyelet and screw provided, either to an existing ground stud or to a new grounding point drilled in the vehicle's frame or crossmember.
The vehicle's 8-pin connector provides +12V power provisions. The manual requires inspection of this connector to confirm the presence of two separate red wires before installation. These red wires supply power to the T-One T-Connector system.
The manual does not state the specific amperage rating for the 118800. However, the manual clearly states: 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 itself. Check the product label and your vehicle's owner's manual for the exact amperage rating.
Always wear safety glasses and use all safety precautions during installation. Read and follow all warnings and instructions included with the product before beginning installation. Do not exceed the towing manufacturer rating or product amperage ratings, as overloading circuits can cause fires. Read, understand, and follow all warnings and instructions printed on the tow vehicle's battery. Verify what is behind any surface before drilling to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury.
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 electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition. Use a test-probe to verify proper electrical connections.
After reinstalling the plastic trim panels, threshold, storage covers, floor covering, and other items removed during installation, verify that you have not pinched or cut any wires. Ensure the harness is properly secured with cable ties and that no wires are exposed or at risk of damage. Perform the electrical test described in the installation instructions.
The 118800 fits the Acura RDX and vehicles with an 8-pin connector behind the rear interior trim panel containing two separate red wires. If your vehicle has only one red wire, you need part 118804 instead. Verify your vehicle's connector before purchasing.
You need: trim panel remover, 10mm socket/ratchet or wrench, 3/32" drill bit, 1/4" socket, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips screwdriver, and test-probe.
Drilling is optional. If you use the existing ground stud on the driver's side (Option 1), no drilling is needed. If you create a new ground point (Option 2), you drill a 3/32" hole in the vehicle's frame or crossmember—never in the floor or bed.
The 8-pin connector is behind the rear interior trim panel on the driver's side. Access it by opening the rear hatch, removing the rear threshold plate, privacy screen, storage covers, and floor covering, then partially removing the lower interior trim panels.
The ground wire is white. Secure it to either an existing ground stud or a new 3/32" hole drilled in the vehicle's frame using the provided eyelet and screw.
The manual does not state the specific amperage rating. Check the product label and your vehicle's owner's manual. Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer rating or the product's stated amperage rating.
Test with a test light or trailer once all connections are complete. Reset the vehicle electrical system by temporarily removing the ignition key. Use a test-probe to verify proper electrical connections.
