DRAW-TITE Class 2 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 maximum gross trailer weight is 3500 lb (1589 kg) and the maximum tongue weight is 300 lb (136 kg). Do not exceed the lower of the towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or these limits.
You will need wrenches in the following sizes: 14mm, 17mm, ¾ inch, and 7/8 inch. A torque wrench is also required to tighten fasteners to specification.
The hitch includes: (2) blocks 0.250 x 1.50 x 4.00 with 2 square holes each; (4) carriage bolts ½-13 x 4.50 long Gr5; (4) ½ inch conical washers; (2) M10 x 1.25 x 30mm CL8.8 bolts; (2) 7/16 inch conical washers; and (4) ½-13 hex nuts. Additional fastener kits are available separately as part number 36509F.
Yes. You must remove the three bolts and factory tow loop from the passenger's side frame rail. Return the bolts and tow loop to the vehicle owner. The factory tow loop is sold separately if it needs to be replaced.
First, tighten all ½-13 GR5 carriage bolts to 75 Lb.-Ft. (102 N·M). Then, tighten all M10-1.25 CL8.8 bolts to 42 Lb.-Ft. (57 N·M). Use a torque wrench for both steps.

No. During installation, loosely install the ½ inch conical washers and hex nuts onto the carriage bolts (step 3), and loosely install the M10 hex bolts with 7/16 inch conical washers into the weld nuts (step 4). Tighten all fasteners to specification only after the hitch is positioned and all bolts are inserted.
Raise the driver's side of the hitch first, guiding the flange on the side bracket around the carbon canister. Then raise the passenger's side into position. This sequence makes installation easier.
Adjust the carriage bolts to be flush with the inside of the frame rails. On the driver's side, the carriage bolts are installed by reaching between the bumper fascia and over the top of the carbon canister.
The drawbar must be used in the rise position only. Do not use it in any other position.
Check the hitch frequently, making sure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. This should be done regularly throughout the life of the hitch.
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 continue to use a damaged hitch or ball.
Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle and wear eye protection. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch.

The T-One® Connector is a trailer towing harness integration device that connects between your vehicle's taillight wiring and a trailer tow harness. It allows you to safely route power and ground signals from your vehicle's electrical system to a trailer without modifying the factory taillight wiring. The connector includes a black box module, wiring harness with yellow and green connector ends, a 15 amp fuse holder, and all necessary hardware for installation.
The manual shows installation on a Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. However, the manual does not specify which other vehicle makes, models, or years are compatible. Contact the manufacturer or consult a fitment database to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle before purchasing.
You will need: trim panel remover, 10mm socket and ratchet or 10mm wrench, drill with 3/32" drill bit, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips head screwdriver, and a test probe. The manual also recommends having a test light or trailer available to verify the installation after completion.
The kit includes: a T-One® Connector black box, two T-One® Connector ends (one with yellow wire for driver's side, one with green wire for passenger's side), a 12 ga. black power wire, a white ground wire with eyelet and screw, double-sided tape for mounting the black box, cable ties for securing the harness, a yellow fuse holder with 15 amp fuse, and yellow butt connectors for wire connections.
Yes. Step 8 requires you to disconnect the vehicle's negative (−) battery cable before connecting the power wire to the positive (+) battery terminal. After all wiring is complete and the fuse is installed, you reconnect the negative battery cable in step 11.
Open the rear hatch and partially remove the plastic threshold cover, side panels, and cargo trays to expose the vehicle's taillight wiring harness inside the rear cargo area. Using a 10mm socket or wrench, remove the 10mm bolts holding the cargo hooks in place. This exposes the taillight sockets where you will insert the T-One® Connector ends.
1. Disconnect the vehicle wiring harness from both taillight sockets and separate the connectors carefully without breaking the locking tabs. 2. On the driver's side, insert the T-One® Connector end with the yellow wire between the vehicle wiring connectors and lock into place, ensuring locking tabs are fully engaged. 3. On the passenger's side, insert the T-One® Connector end with the green wire between the vehicle wiring connectors and lock into place. Ensure all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt before insertion.
Mount the black box on the driver's side using the double-sided tape provided. Secure the remainder of the T-One® Connector harness with the cable ties provided to prevent damage or rattling. Be careful to avoid any areas that would cut or pinch the wire.
Drilling is required only for the ground wire 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. You must verify what is behind any surface before drilling to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury.
Drill a 3/32" hole for the ground wire eyelet. Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area before securing the white wire.
After disconnecting the vehicle's negative (−) battery cable, remove the fuse from the yellow fuse holder provided. Cut the fuse holder wire and attach the ring terminal to the vehicle's positive (+) battery cable. Connect the other end of the fuse holder to the black 12 ga. wire using the yellow butt connector provided. Route the black 12 ga. wire from the front of the vehicle rearward along the frame rail, avoiding hot pipes, heat shields, fuel tank, and any points that may pinch or break the wire. Connect the other end of the black 12 ga. wire to the black power wire on the T-Connector's black box using the yellow butt connector provided.
The fuse rating is 15 amps. The yellow fuse holder provided in the kit contains a 15 amp fuse. After installation is complete and all wiring is connected, install the 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder.
Yellow wire: driver's side taillight connector end. Green wire: passenger's side taillight connector end. Black wire (12 ga.): power wire from the vehicle's positive (+) battery terminal to the black box module. White wire: ground wire from the black box module to a vehicle ground point. Yellow butt connectors: used to join the fuse holder to the black 12 ga. wire and to connect the black 12 ga. wire to the black power wire on the black box.
Beginning from the front of the vehicle, route the black 12 ga. wire rearward along the frame rail. Avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, and any other points that may pinch or break the wire. If routing the wire through a grommet and along the exterior of the vehicle, exercise extra caution to avoid these hazards. The wire must reach from the positive battery terminal to the black box module on the driver's side.
Route the T-One® Connector end with the green wire to the passenger's side behind the panels and along the threshold to the taillight pocket. Secure the harness with the cable ties provided to prevent damage or rattling, and be careful to avoid any areas that would cut or pinch the wire.
Always wear safety glasses during installation. Read and follow all warnings and instructions included with the product 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 or the vehicle floor or bed. When routing wires, avoid hot pipes, heat shields, fuel tank, and any points that may pinch or break the wire. Ensure all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt. Do not exceed the product's stated amperage ratings or the towing manufacturer's rating, as overloading circuits can cause fires.
After reconnecting the vehicle's negative (−) battery cable and installing the 15 amp fuse, test and verify the installation with a test light or trailer. For the initial test, reset the vehicle's electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition. All connections must be complete for the T-One® Connector to function properly.
Reinstall all plastic trim panels, threshold, storage covers, floor covering, and other items that were removed during installation, being careful not to pinch or cut the wires. Secure all loose wires and mount the trailer tow harness in an accessible location with a bracket or electrical box. Test and verify the installation with a test light or trailer, and reset the vehicle's electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition.
Do not exceed the lower of two ratings: the towing manufacturer's rating (including the rating in your vehicle owner's manual) or the specific amperage ratings stated on the T-One® Connector product. Overloading circuits can cause fires. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual and the product documentation for the exact amperage limits applicable to your vehicle and trailer.
15 amps. The yellow fuse holder and 15 amp fuse are provided in the kit.
Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer's rating (in your vehicle owner's manual) or the specific amperage rating stated on the product. Overloading can cause fires.
