These dependable custom hitches are manufactured for 2020-2023 Hyundai Sonata 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.

No drilling is required. The hitch uses existing access holes in the vehicle frame. The manual explicitly states: "Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch."
Do not exceed the lower of your vehicle manufacturer's towing rating or 2000 lb (908 kg) gross trailer weight with a maximum tongue weight of 200 lb (90.8 kg).
Yes, the exhaust must be lowered during installation. Using an M12 socket, remove (2) M12 flange nuts to lower the exhaust. The exhaust must be supported before removing the fasteners. Reinstall the exhaust after the hitch is mounted.
Fastener kit 24993F includes: (4) carriage bolts 7/16"-14 x 1.5" Grade 5, (4) spacers 3/16" x 1" x 2" (part #3837), (4) conical washers 7/16" (part #01292007), (4) hex nuts 7/16" Grade 2, and (4) pullwires 7/16"-14 (part #5481).
Pullwires (part #5481) are used to guide the carriage bolts and spacers through the vehicle frame access hole. They are attached to the bolts during installation, left in place while raising the hitch, then removed after the hitch is positioned and aligned. The pullwires help keep the spacer independent of the bolt by kinking the wire.
The conical washers must be installed with the teeth side facing toward the hitch bracket. This orientation is critical for proper fastening.
Three components must be removed: (1) the driver side trim panel—remove (4) pop rivets and (2) M10 flange nuts using a flat head screwdriver and M10 socket; (2) the heat shield—remove (3) M10 flange nuts using an M10 socket; (3) the vehicle exhaust—remove (2) M12 flange nuts using an M12 socket. All removed components should be returned to the vehicle owner.
Installation sequence: (1) Remove trim panel from driver side; (2) Lower vehicle exhaust (ensure it is supported); (3) Remove heat shield; (4) Install hitch using pullwires to guide carriage bolts and spacers through frame access hole, then raise hitch into position and align bracket holes; (5) Tighten all 7/16"-14 Grade 5 fasteners to 50 ft-lb (68 N·m); (6) Reinstall exhaust.
Yes. The manual explicitly states: "Be sure that exhaust is supported before removing M12 flange nuts." This is a critical safety requirement to prevent the exhaust from falling.
Always wear safety glasses during installation. The manual states: "Always wear SAFETY GLASSES when installing hitch." Additionally, observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle and wear eye protection.
Carriage bolts are 7/16"-14 x 1.5" Grade 5. Four bolts are included in fastener kit 24993F. They must be tightened to 50 ft-lb (68 N·m) using a torque wrench.
Spacers are 3/16" x 1" x 2" (part #3837). Four spacers are included in fastener kit 24993F. They are installed between the carriage bolts and the vehicle frame to maintain proper spacing.

Hex nuts are 7/16" Grade 2. Four nuts are included in fastener kit 24993F. They are tightened to 50 ft-lb (68 N·m) using a torque wrench.
Using the pullwires, install the carriage bolts and spacers into the vehicle frame through the access hole. Leave the pullwires attached. Raise the hitch into position and align the holes in the hitch bracket to the carriage bolts. Guide the pullwire ends through the holes in the hitch bracket, then remove the pullwires.
After the hitch is positioned and aligned, install the conical washers (teeth side toward hitch) and nuts. Then tighten all 7/16"-14 Grade 5 fasteners to 50 ft-lb (68 N·m) using a torque wrench. This is step 5 of the installation process.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and ball are properly tightened. The manual states: "Check all fasteners are tight and your hitch is securely mounted to your vehicle periodically." Proper torque is needed to keep the hitch secure to the vehicle when towing.
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 attempt to repair a damaged hitch.
Always wear your seatbelt. Slow down when towing and never exceed any posted speed limit. Load the trailer heavier in front. 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.
The authorized drawbar kit is part number 3593 (sold separately). The drawbar must be used in the RISE position only.
The average installation time is 30 minutes for professional installers. If you do not feel comfortable performing this installation on your own or are in need of assistance, please contact a professional installer.
The product includes a Limited Lifetime Warranty covering material defects in both material and workmanship, ordinary wear and tear excepted. The warranty is valid only if products are returned for inspection, defects are confirmed not caused by misuse, neglect, improper installation, or accident, and the product was installed and maintained according to instructions.

The T-One® Connector is a T-shaped wiring harness that integrates a vehicle's taillight wiring with trailer towing circuits. It connects between the vehicle's existing taillight connectors on both the driver and passenger sides, allowing the vehicle's electrical system to control trailer lights. The connector includes a black box-module that houses the integration electronics and must be mounted in a flat, out-of-the-way location to prevent damage or rattling.
The manual does not specify which vehicles are compatible with this connector. The installation instructions show a Hyundai Sonata as an example, but do not state whether the product is universal or model-specific. Before purchasing, contact the manufacturer or check the product fitment database to confirm compatibility with your vehicle. The connector requires accessible taillight wiring harnesses on both driver and passenger sides that match the T-Connector ends.
Required tools are: trim panel remover, 10 mm socket and ratchet or 10 mm wrench, drill with 3/32" drill bit, 1/4" socket, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips head screwdriver, and test-probe. These tools are needed to remove interior panels, disconnect and reconnect taillight connectors, drill the grounding hole, crimp and cut wires, and test the installation.
The kit includes: two T-Connector ends (one with yellow wire for driver side, one with green wire for passenger side), a black 12 ga. power wire, a white ground wire with eyelet and screw, a yellow fuse holder with 15 amp fuse, a yellow butt connector, cable ties, and a 4-Flat connector for storage in the trunk when not in use.
Yes. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (−) battery cable before connecting the black 12 ga. power wire to the positive (+) battery terminal. This is a critical safety step to prevent electrical shock or short circuits. After all connections are made, reconnect the negative battery cable and install the 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder.
You must open the trunk, temporarily remove the rear threshold plate, and partially remove the felt trunk liner behind the taillights to access the taillight wiring harnesses on both sides. After installation, all panels, clips, and carpet must be replaced carefully to avoid cutting or pinching the wires.
On the driver side, insert the T-Connector end with the yellow wire between the vehicle's taillight wiring connectors and lock into place, being careful not to damage the locking tabs. Route the T-Connector end with the green wire to the passenger side behind the panels and along the threshold, then plug it between the mating plugs on the passenger side taillight socket and vehicle wiring harness. Ensure all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt before connecting, and verify that connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
Yes, drilling is required. You must drill a single 3/32" hole in a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as the vehicle's frame or crossmember. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed. Before drilling, clean dirt and rustproofing from the area and verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces. The white ground wire is secured to this hole using the eyelet and screw provided.
Route the black 12 ga. power wire along the exterior frame or follow existing wiring along the thresholds into the engine compartment up to the battery. Avoid areas that may pinch or break the wire. If routing through a grommet and along the exterior of the vehicle, carefully avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any other points that may pinch or break the wire. The wire must reach the vehicle's positive (+) battery terminal where it connects via the yellow fuse holder.
The T-One® Connector uses a 15 amp fuse. The fuse is housed in a yellow fuse holder provided with the kit. After disconnecting the vehicle's negative battery cable, attach the ring terminal from the fuse holder to the vehicle's positive (+) battery cable. Connect the other end of the fuse holder to the black 12 ga. power wire using the yellow butt connector provided. After all connections are complete, reconnect the negative battery cable and install the 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder.
The T-Connector uses four wire colours: yellow wire (driver side taillight connection), green wire (passenger side taillight connection), black 12 ga. wire (power from battery), and white wire (ground connection to vehicle frame or crossmember). Each wire has a specific function in the taillight integration circuit.
Mount the black box-module on a flat surface in an out-of-the-way location to prevent damage or rattling. The module should be secured in a place where it will not be disturbed during normal vehicle use or trunk access.
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. After securing the harness, replace all carpet, clips, and panels that were removed during installation, taking care not to cut or pinch the wires.
After installation is complete, test and verify the installation with a test light or 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. If using a test light, probe the trailer connector pins to verify that the correct circuits are active.
The manual states that you must 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. The connector uses a 15 amp fuse. Overloading circuits can cause fires. Always read the vehicle's owner's manual and the T-Connector instruction sheet for additional information on amperage limits.
Always wear safety glasses during installation. Before drilling, verify what is behind any surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into exposed surfaces. When routing the power wire, avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, and any areas that may pinch or break the wire. Read and follow all warnings printed on the vehicle's battery before connecting to the battery terminals. Disconnect the negative battery cable before connecting to the positive terminal.
Store the 4-Flat connector in the trunk area when not in use. This protects it from damage and keeps it accessible for future use.
The manual does not specify which vehicles are compatible. Contact the manufacturer or check a fitment database with your vehicle's year, make, and model. The connector requires accessible taillight wiring harnesses on both driver and passenger sides.
You need: trim panel remover, 10 mm socket/ratchet or wrench, drill with 3/32" bit, 1/4" socket, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips screwdriver, and test-probe.
Yes, you must disconnect the negative battery cable before connecting the power wire to the positive battery terminal. Reconnect it after all connections are complete and the fuse is installed.
Yes, you must drill one 3/32" hole in the vehicle's frame or crossmember for the ground wire. Do not drill into the floor or bed. Always verify what is behind the surface before drilling.
The T-One® Connector uses a 15 amp fuse in the yellow fuse holder provided with the kit.
Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer's rating or the specific amperage ratings stated on the product. Overloading circuits can cause fires.
Verify that all connections are complete. Check that the yellow T-Connector end is fully inserted and locked on the driver side, the green T-Connector end is fully inserted and locked on the passenger side, the white ground wire is securely attached to the frame or crossmember with the eyelet and screw, the black power wire is connected to the vehicle's positive battery terminal via the yellow fuse holder, and the 15 amp fuse is installed in the fuse holder. Reset the vehicle electrical system by temporarily removing the ignition key. Test with a test light or trailer to verify proper operation.
Ensure that all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt before connecting. Verify that you are inserting the connectors fully between the vehicle's taillight wiring connectors. Be careful not to damage the locking tabs during insertion. If the connectors still do not lock, the locking tabs may be damaged or the connectors may not be compatible with your vehicle's taillight connectors.
