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 4500 lb (2043 kg) and the maximum tongue weight is 675 lb (306 kg) for both weight carrying and weight distributing configurations. Do not exceed the lower of your towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or these limits.
Required tools are: ratchet, torque wrench, safety glasses, 5.5 mm socket, 10 mm socket, flat head screwdriver, CR-VT 20 screwdriver, 6 inch socket extension, and die grinder. The manual recommends professional installation if you are not comfortable performing the work yourself.
Bumper fascia removal is recommended for easier installation on MKX models only. For Edge and Nautilus models, it is not required. If you choose to remove the MKX fascia, use a flat head and CR-VT 20 screwdriver to remove 3 rivets and 1 bolt on each side, open the trunk, gently pull the fascia away, and disconnect the electrical connector on the driver side.
Remove the bottom side plastic panels using 5.5 mm and 10 mm sockets to remove 2 bolts and 2 flange nuts on each side. Keep the panels for reinstallation. For Edge Sport and MKX AWD models, also remove 6 bolts and 1 flange nut from the center plastic panel with heat shields and return it to the owner.
Yes, you must remove the exhaust hanger rod from the rubber isolator on both sides and use a stand to support the muffler to prevent damage. However, if you have already removed the bumper fascia on an MKX model, you can skip this step.
Yes, you must use a die grinder to cut off the stud that is above the center of the muffler. This is a required modification. Do not use a torch to cut access or attachment holes.
1. Remove bottom side plastic panels (and center panel for Edge Sport/MKX AWD). 2. Lower the muffler (skip if fascia already removed on MKX). 3. Feed carriage bolts and spacers into the frame using pull wires, cut the stud above the muffler center with a die grinder, raise the hitch into position, slide it over the passenger side exhaust first, feed pull wires through bracket holes, remove pull wires, and loosely install washers and hex nuts. 4. Tighten all 7/16 inch fasteners to 50 Lb.-Ft. (68 N·M). 5. Reinstall all removed components.
Pull wires are used to feed the carriage bolts and spacers into the frame before raising the hitch into position. The pull wires keep the spacer independent of the bolt (kink the pull wire to maintain this separation). After the hitch is positioned and the pull wires are fed through the bracket holes, the pull wires are removed and replaced with washers and hex nuts.
Slide the hitch over the passenger side exhaust first, then feed the pull wires through the bracket holes.
All 7/16 inch fasteners must be tightened to 50 Lb.-Ft. (68 N·M) using a torque wrench. Proper torque is needed to keep the hitch secure to the vehicle when towing.
The 75234F fastener kit includes: 8 carriage bolts (7/16 inch x 14 x 1.75, GR5), 8 spacers (0.188 x 1 x 2, part 3837), 6 conical washers (7/16 inch, part 01292007), 8 hex nuts (7/16 inch, GR2), 8 pull wires (7/16 inch – 13, part 5481), and 2 lock washers (7/16 inch).
The conical washer teeth side must be oriented against the hitch.
Always wear safety glasses when installing the hitch. Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle. Use a stand to support the muffler 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.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. Verify that the hitch is securely mounted to the vehicle. If the hitch is damaged, it must be removed and replaced.
Always wear your seatbelt. Load the trailer heavier in front. Do not exceed the lower of your towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or 4500 lb GVWR / 675 lb tongue weight. Slow down when towing and never exceed posted speed limits. If excess sway occurs, take your foot off the gas pedal and hold the steering wheel as steady as possible; do not apply brakes or speed up.
No. Do not cut, weld, or modify this receiver. The only cutting required is using a die grinder to remove the stud above the center of the muffler, which is part of the standard installation procedure.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual emphasizes periodic verification that the hitch is securely mounted to the vehicle.
Yes. The 75234 fits 2015-current Ford Edge, 2015-2018 Lincoln MKX, and 2019-current Lincoln Nautilus. Check the manufacturer's website for the most current trim level information.

The T-Connector is a trailer wiring adapter that converts your vehicle's taillight signals to a 4-Flat trailer connector. It includes a black converter box, wiring harness with yellow and green T-Connector ends, a 4-Flat connector, a fuse holder with 15 amp fuse, and mounting hardware. The system taps into your vehicle's existing taillight wiring without cutting or permanently modifying the factory harness.
The manual shows the Lincoln Nautilus in the installation diagram. However, the manual does not explicitly list all compatible vehicles or state whether it fits other models, bed lengths, or cab styles. Contact the manufacturer or check the product listing to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
You will need: trim panel remover, 10 mm socket and ratchet or 10 mm wrench, drill with 3/32" bit, 1/4" socket, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips head screwdriver, test probe, and Torx 25 driver. A test light or trailer is also required to verify the installation after completion.
The kit includes: T-Connector ends with yellow and green wires, a black converter box, a 4-Flat connector, a yellow fuse holder with 15 amp fuse, a ring terminal, a yellow butt connector, an eyelet and screw for the ground wire, cable ties, and double-sided tape for mounting the converter box. A bracket for the 4-Flat connector is not included.
Yes. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable before beginning wiring work. This is done in step 6 before connecting the fuse holder to the positive battery cable. After all wiring is complete, you reconnect the negative battery cable and install the 15 amp fuse in step 9.
Yes. You must open the tailgate and remove both taillight housing assemblies. Use a trim panel remover to remove the round covers, then remove the Torx 25 screws. Carefully pull the taillight away from the vehicle without damaging the alignment pins. The T-Connector ends are plugged into the taillight sockets, and the housings are reinstalled at the end of the installation.
Partial fascia removal is optional but recommended. The manual notes that partial removal of the fascia may assist in routing the wires and connectors, and pulling back the fascia exposes a larger area of the opening. An alternate routing option for the green wire is to pull back the fascia area below the tailgate weather strip and place the wire behind the fascia, which may require removal of several fasteners. You can attempt installation without fascia removal, but you may find it difficult to route the connectors.
Yes. You must drill one 3/32" hole to secure the white ground wire. The hole is drilled near a suitable grounding point on the vehicle body (not in the floor or bed). Before drilling, you must clean dirt and rustproofing from the area and verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. The white wire is secured using the eyelet and screw provided.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector on the vehicle body. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed, and do not drill into any exposed surfaces. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area before drilling the 3/32" hole. Always verify what is behind any surface prior to drilling to avoid damage to the vehicle and personal injury.
Install a 15 amp fuse. The fuse holder is provided with the kit and is installed in step 6 before connecting to the vehicle's positive battery cable. After all wiring is complete and the negative battery cable is reconnected, install the 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder in step 9.
The T-Connector has three main wires: yellow (driver's side taillight connection), green (passenger's side taillight connection), and white (ground). The black 12 gauge wire connects to the vehicle's positive battery through a fuse holder. The yellow and green T-Connector ends plug into the taillight sockets on each side. The white wire is secured to a ground point on the vehicle body using the provided eyelet and screw.
On the driver's side, disconnect the vehicle's taillight socket and plug the T-Connector end with the yellow wire between the mating plugs of the taillight socket and the vehicle wiring harness (step 3). Route the T-Connector end with the green wire to the passenger's side and repeat the same process (step 4). The 4-Flat connector is routed underneath the bumper. This allows the T-Connector to intercept the taillight signals without cutting the factory wiring.
Disconnect the vehicle's negative battery cable. Remove the fuse from the yellow fuse holder and cut the fuse holder wire. Attach the ring terminal to the vehicle's positive (+) battery cable. Connect the other end of the fuse holder to the black 12 gauge wire using the yellow butt connector provided. Beginning from the front of the vehicle, route the black 12 gauge wire rearward along the frame rail, being careful to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, and any pinch points. At the rear driver's side, locate the opening between the bumper and body, route the wire up through this hole, and attach it to the black wire from the T-Connector black box using the supplied yellow butt connector.
Route all wires carefully to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, and any other points that may pinch or break the wire. The yellow and green T-Connector ends are routed up through openings in the taillight pockets. The black 12 gauge power wire is routed along the frame rail from the front of the vehicle to the rear. The 4-Flat connector is routed underneath the bumper. Secure the remainder of the harness under the bumper with the provided cable ties, being careful to avoid areas that would cut or pinch the wire.
On the driver's side, locate a flat surface in an out-of-the-way place and mount the black converter box using the double-sided tape provided. The epoxy side of the module must be pointed toward the ground to prevent water buildup. The box should be mounted in a location where it will not be damaged or interfere with vehicle operation.
Mount the 4-Flat connector in a suitable location under the vehicle. A bracket is not included with the T-Connector kit, so you will need to source an appropriate bracket separately or use an alternative mounting method suitable for your vehicle.
Always wear safety glasses during installation. Before drilling, verify what is behind any surface to avoid damage to the vehicle and personal injury. Do not drill into the vehicle floor, bed, or any exposed surfaces. Disconnect the vehicle's negative battery cable before working with electrical connections. Read and follow all warnings and cautions printed on the tow vehicle's battery. Do not exceed the product's stated amperage ratings or the towing manufacturer's rating, as overloading circuits can cause fires.
After completing the installation and reconnecting the negative battery cable, test and verify the installation with a test light or trailer. This ensures that all taillight signals are being properly transmitted through the T-Connector to the 4-Flat connector. If the test light does not illuminate or the trailer lights do not function, check all connections and wiring before using the vehicle.
The manual does not specify the amperage rating of the T-Connector itself. However, it states that you must not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer's rating (as stated in your vehicle's owner's manual) or the specific amperage ratings stated on the product. Check the product label or documentation for the exact amperage rating, and consult your vehicle's owner's manual for the towing capacity.
The manual shows the Lincoln Nautilus but does not list all compatible vehicles. Check the product listing or contact the manufacturer to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle model, year, and bed length.
Yes, you must disconnect the vehicle's negative battery cable before beginning wiring work in step 6. Reconnect it after all wiring is complete in step 9.
The T-Connector uses a 15 amp fuse, which is provided in the kit and installed in step 9 after all wiring is complete.
Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer's rating or the specific amperage rating stated on the product. Check the product label and your vehicle's owner's manual for the exact rating.
After installation, test the system with a test light or trailer to verify all taillight signals are being transmitted correctly to the 4-Flat connector.
First, verify the installation with a test light as instructed in step 9. Check that the 15 amp fuse is properly installed in the fuse holder. Verify that the yellow and green T-Connector ends are fully plugged into the taillight sockets on both the driver's and passenger's sides. Ensure the black 12 gauge power wire is securely connected to the vehicle's positive battery cable through the fuse holder, and that the white ground wire is securely fastened to the vehicle body. Check that all butt connectors are crimped tightly and that no wires are loose or damaged.
The converter box is not mounted correctly. The epoxy side of the module must be pointed toward the ground to prevent water buildup. Remount the box using the double-sided tape, ensuring the epoxy side faces downward. If water has already accumulated, remove the box, dry it thoroughly, and remount it in the correct orientation.
Reroute the wires to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, and any other pinch points. The yellow and green T-Connector ends should be routed up through the taillight pocket openings. The black 12 gauge power wire should be routed along the frame rail from the front to the rear. The 4-Flat connector should be routed underneath the bumper. Secure all wires under the bumper with the provided cable ties, ensuring they are not in areas that could cut or pinch them. If wires are already damaged, they must be replaced.
