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 manual shows this T-Connector is designed for the Acura MDX. The specific model year is not stated in the installation instructions. Verify fitment with the product documentation or manufacturer before purchase.
The kit includes the T-Connector black box module, yellow and green wire harnesses with connectors, a white ground wire with eyelet and screw, a yellow fuse holder with 15 amp fuse, yellow butt connectors for wire connections, and double-sided tape for mounting the black box.
Required tools are: trim panel remover, 10 mm socket and ratchet or 10 mm wrench, drill with 3/32" bit, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips head screwdriver, and test probe. Safety glasses are mandatory during installation.
Yes. Disconnect the vehicle's negative (−) battery cable before connecting the power wiring in step 9. Reconnect it only after the fuse holder and all connections are complete in step 12.
Remove the tail light mounting screws and disconnect the vehicle's wiring harness from both tail light sockets. On the driver's side, insert the T-Connector harness with the yellow wire between the vehicle's mating connectors. On the passenger's side, insert the T-Connector end with the green wire between the vehicle's connectors and lock into place. Ensure locking tabs are fully engaged and not damaged.
Mount the black box underneath the vehicle behind the rear bumper fascia on the driver's side using the double-sided tape provided. The epoxy side of the module must point toward the ground to prevent water buildup.
Yes, you must drill one 3/32" hole for the ground wire connection. Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing ground stud, or drill the hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed. Always verify what is behind the surface before drilling to avoid damage.
Install a 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder. This fuse protects the power circuit. Do not exceed the product's stated amperage rating or the lower of the towing manufacturer's rating (including in your vehicle owner's manual).
Disconnect the vehicle's negative battery cable. Remove the fuse from the yellow fuse holder (if not already removed).

Connect the other end of the fuse holder to the black 12 gauge wire using the yellow butt connector provided. Route the black 12 gauge wire from the front of the vehicle rearward along the frame rail, avoiding hot pipes, heat shields, and the fuel tank. Connect the other end to the black power wire on the T-Connector's black box using the yellow butt connector.
The harness uses yellow, green, white, and black wires. Yellow wire routes to the driver's side tail light connector. Green wire routes to the passenger's side tail light connector. White wire is the ground connection. Black 12 gauge wire carries power from the battery fuse holder to the black box module.
Route the yellow wire harness underneath the vehicle up through the opening between the vehicle bumper and body to the driver's side tail light pocket. Route the green wire harness underneath the vehicle up through the opening between the bumper and body to the passenger's side tail light pocket. Avoid routing wires through hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any points that may pinch or break the wire. If routing through a grommet along the exterior, take extra care to avoid these hazards.
Reconnect the vehicle's negative battery cable and install the 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder. Reinstall all trim panels, threshold, storage covers, and floor coverings removed during installation, being careful not to pinch or cut 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. For the initial test, reset the vehicle's electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition.
Always wear safety glasses. Do not drill into vehicle floor or bed. Verify what is behind any surface before drilling. Do not drill into exposed surfaces. Avoid routing wires near hot pipes, heat shields, or the fuel tank. Do not pinch or cut wires during reinstallation. Do not exceed the product's stated amperage ratings or the lower of the towing manufacturer's rating. Overloading circuits can cause fires. All connections must be complete for proper function. Read and follow all warnings on the vehicle's battery.
Before drilling the 3/32" hole for the ground wire, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle and personal injury. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area before securing the white ground wire with the eyelet and screw.
When inserting the T-Connector harnesses into the vehicle's mating connectors, ensure they are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Be careful not to damage the locking tabs. All connector surfaces should be clean and free of dirt before connection.
