These dependable custom hitches are manufactured for 2019-2023 Mazda 3 and attach to your vehicle?s frame or bumper for a sleek, clean appearance. Each hitch also has a 1-1/4 inch square receiver tube opening so you can easily attach accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier, or a utility trailer. DRAW-TITE Class 1 custom trailer hitches come complete with all the mounting hardware needed for installation and are backed by a nationwide lifetime limited warranty. So, whether you are headed out to the campground and need a place for the cooler, taking the bikes to hit the trails in the park, or you are tackling a DIY project (maybe some landscaping or a home repair), 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.

The T-One® Connector is a vehicle-to-trailer wiring interface that taps into your vehicle's taillight wiring harness to provide power for trailer lights. It uses a T-connector design that intercepts the factory wiring on both the driver's and passenger's sides of the trunk, allowing you to connect a 4-flat trailer connector without cutting or permanently modifying the vehicle's original wiring.
Yes, the T-One® Connector 118808-037 is designed for the Mazda 3 Sedan. The manual covers installation for this vehicle specifically. If you have a different Mazda 3 body style (coupe, hatchback) or model year, contact the manufacturer to confirm compatibility, as this manual does not cover those variants.
You will need: a trim panel remover, 10 mm socket and ratchet or 10 mm wrench, a drill with a 3/32" drill bit, wire crimpers, and wire cutters. These tools are required to remove trunk panels, disconnect battery terminals, drill the ground hole, and prepare wire connections.
The kit includes: double-sided tape for mounting the black box, cable ties for securing the harness, an eyelet and screw for the ground wire, a yellow fuse holder, a ring terminal, a yellow butt connector, and a 15 amp fuse. All of these items are provided and should not require separate purchase.
Yes. Step 7 requires you to disconnect the vehicle's negative (−) battery cable before making the final electrical connections to the positive battery terminal. After all wiring is complete and the fuse is installed, you reconnect the negative battery cable in step 8.
Open the trunk and remove the threshold panel. Then partially remove the corner felt trunk liner on both the driver's and passenger's sides to expose the vehicle's taillight wiring harness. Be careful when removing these panels to avoid damage.
On the driver's side, insert the T-One® Connector end with the yellow wire between the vehicle's wiring connectors and lock it into place. Repeat on the passenger's side with the T-One® Connector end with the green wire. Be careful not to damage the locking tabs and ensure connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs engaged. The connector taps into the factory harness without cutting wires.
Mount the T-One® black box on the driver's side using the double-sided tape provided. Secure the remainder of the harness with the cable ties provided, being careful to avoid areas that would cut or pinch the wire. Repeat the same mounting procedure on the passenger's side for the second connector end.
Route the T-One® Connector end with the green wire to the passenger's side behind the panels and along the threshold. Secure it with cable ties as you did on the driver's side, being careful to avoid pinching or cutting the wire.
Drilling is required only for the ground connection. You must locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing ground stud, or drill a 3/32" hole to secure the white ground wire using the eyelet and screw provided. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed. Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury.
Use a 3/32" drill bit to create the hole for the ground wire eyelet. This is the only drilling required during installation.
No. The manual explicitly states: do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed. You must locate an existing ground stud or drill only in areas that do not penetrate the floor or bed structure. Always verify what is behind any surface before drilling.
The T-One® Connector uses three wire colors: yellow (driver's side connector), green (passenger's side connector), and white (ground wire). The yellow and green wires tap into the vehicle's taillight wiring harness on each side. The white wire is the ground connection, secured to an existing ground stud or a drilled hole using an eyelet and screw.
Disconnect the vehicle's negative battery cable. Remove the fuse from the yellow fuse holder provided. Cut the fuse holder wire, attach the ring terminal to the vehicle's positive (+) battery cable, and secure it. Connect the other end of the fuse holder to the black 12 gauge wire using the yellow butt connector provided. Install the 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
Install a 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder. This fuse protects the circuit and must be installed after all wiring connections are complete.
The black wire is 12 gauge (12 ga.). This wire connects the fuse holder to the T-One® Connector circuit.
Always wear safety glasses during installation. Read and follow all warnings and cautions printed on the tow vehicle's battery before beginning. Verify what is behind any surface before drilling to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into exposed surfaces. Be careful not to damage the connector locking tabs or pinch and cut wires during installation and reassembly.
Do not exceed the lower of two ratings: the towing manufacturer's rating (including that in your vehicle owner's manual) or the specific amperage ratings stated on the product. The manual does not specify the product's own amperage rating; check the product label or contact the manufacturer for this information. Overloading circuits can cause fires.
After installation is complete, test and verify the installation with a test light or by connecting an actual trailer. 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-One® Connector to function properly.
Route the 4-flat connector through the driver's side trim panel into the storage compartment on the threshold and store it there when not in use. This keeps the connector protected and organized.
Reinstall the plastic trim panels, threshold, storage covers, floor covering, and any other items that were removed during installation. Be careful not to pinch or cut the wires when reinstalling these components.
Yes, you must disconnect the negative battery cable before making electrical connections to the positive battery terminal. Reconnect it after the fuse is installed.
A 15 amp fuse is required. It is installed in the yellow fuse holder provided after all wiring connections are complete.
Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer's rating (in your vehicle owner's manual) or the product's amperage rating. The manual does not state the product's specific rating; check the product label or contact the manufacturer.
