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.

You will need: a clamp, 24mm socket, 6-inch socket extension, ratchet, torque wrench, crowfoot wrench, and safety glasses. A professional installer typically completes installation in 30 minutes.
The fastener kit 45520F includes 12 M16 × 2.00 × 50mm bolts and 12 M16 × 2.00 CL10 flange lock nuts. Six bolts and six nuts are installed on each side of the hitch to secure the side brackets to the frame rails.
Installation is designed to take approximately 30 minutes for a professional installer. If you do not feel comfortable performing the installation yourself or need assistance, contact a professional installer.
1. Using a clamp, secure and align the side brackets with the attachment holes on the frame rails (see Figure 1). 2. Using a 24mm socket, loosely install 6 M16 bolts and 6 M16 flange nuts on each side to hold the side bracket. 3. Torque all M16 fasteners to 210 lb-ft. (285 N·m). Proper torque is essential to keep the hitch secure during towing.
All M16 fasteners must be torqued to 210 lb-ft. (285 N·m). Proper torque is required to keep the hitch securely mounted to the vehicle when towing.
No. During step 1, loosely install the 6 M16 bolts and 6 M16 flange nuts on each side to hold the side bracket in place. Only after alignment is confirmed should you torque all M16 fasteners to 210 lb-ft. (285 N·m) in step 2.
Always wear safety glasses when installing the hitch. Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle. 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.
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.
Load the trailer heavier in front. This helps maintain stability and control while towing.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. Regular inspection is important for safe towing.
A hitch or ball that has been damaged should be removed and replaced immediately. Do not continue to use a damaged hitch.
No. Do not cut, weld, or modify the receiver. Modifications will compromise the structural integrity and safety of the hitch.
Slow down when towing and never exceed any posted speed limit. Always wear your seatbelt while towing.
