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.

Yes. The center area of the rear fascia must be trimmed using a tape measure, marker, and utility knife to clear the hitch. The dimensions are approximate (3 inches wide by 3½ inches tall from the center of the hole in the tabs). Before cutting, you must verify that no wires or sensors are in the trimming area. The fascia is then reinstalled after trimming.
The conical washers must be installed with the teeth side facing toward the hitch. This orientation is critical for proper fastening and load distribution.
The M8 bolts and conical washers should be loosely installed first (Step 8), then all fasteners are tightened together to 20 Lb.-Ft. (27 N·M) using a torque wrench (Step 9). Do not tighten individual fasteners; tighten them as a complete set.
Raise the hitch into position and align the attachment holes in the hitch with the weldnuts in the end panel. Once aligned, loosely install the supplied M8 bolts and conical washers (4 per side) into the weldnuts, then tighten all fasteners to 20 Lb.-Ft. (27 N·M).
All electrical connectors removed during disassembly must be reconnected during reassembly. These include the taillight connectors (2 total, one per side) and any other electrical connectors unplugged from the fascia. Verify all connections are secure before completing installation.
Always wear your seatbelt. Slow down when towing and never exceed posted speed limits. 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 brakes and do not speed up. Do not exceed the lower of the towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or the hitch's maximum capacity of 2000 lb. GVWR / 300 lb. tongue weight.
A hitch or ball that has been damaged should be removed and replaced. Do not attempt to repair a damaged 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.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual does not specify an exact interval, but periodic inspection is essential to maintain safe towing. Verify that the hitch remains securely mounted to the vehicle.
