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 Draw-tite Class 1 Trailer Hitch, 1-1/4" Square Receiver, Black for Select Honda CR-V 24790 (Part #DT24790) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Part number 24790 is designed for Honda CR-V models. The manual copyright indicates compatibility with 2006–2015 model years, but the exact range is not explicitly stated in the instructions. Contact the manufacturer or your retailer to confirm your specific model year is supported.
The maximum gross trailer weight is 2000 lb (908 kg) and the maximum tongue weight is 200 lb (90.8 kg). Do not exceed the lower of these ratings or your vehicle manufacturer's towing capacity rating.
You will need a 3/4" wrench and a torque wrench. No drill bits are required. If the access hole in the frame is too small to fit the reinforcement plate and bolt head, you may also need a file or a pry tool (such as a wrench) to enlarge the hole slightly.
No drilling is required. The hitch uses existing frame attachment holes and tie-down hook holes on the vehicle. However, you may need to file or enlarge the frame access hole slightly to allow the reinforcement plate and bolt head to pass through.
The kit includes: 2× carriage bolts 1/2"-13 × 1 3/4" (Grade 5), 2× reinforcement plates 1" × 3" × 1/4", 2× bolt leaders, 3× conical toothed washers, 3× 1/2"-13 nuts, 1× carriage bolt 1/2"-13 × 2" (Grade 5), 1× square hole spacer 1" × 2" × 1/4", and 1× round hole spacer 1" × 2" × 1/4". The drawbar kit (part 3591) and fastener kit (part 24790F) are sold separately.
For the two frame attachment bolts: thread the bolt leader onto the 1 3/4" carriage bolt, insert through the reinforcement plate hole, then through the frame access and attachment holes. Pull into position, remove the bolt leader, then install the conical washer and nut. For the tie-down hook bolt: insert the 2" carriage bolt through the vehicle's tie-down hook and hitch mounting tab in this order: square hole spacer, round hole spacer, conical washer, and nut.
All 1/2" fasteners must be tightened to 75 lb.-ft. (102 N·m) using a torque wrench.
The CR-V has an enclosed frame with an access hole. Check whether the reinforcement plate and bolt head will fit through the access hole. If not, enlarge the hole slightly using a file or by inserting a wrench and prying, as shown in the manual illustration. Enlarge only enough to allow the hardware to pass through. Do not use a torch to cut the hole.
The bolt leader is a threaded rod that screws onto the carriage bolt. It allows you to fish the bolt and reinforcement plate through the frame's access hole and attachment hole without the bolt head becoming stuck. Once the hardware is in position, you remove the bolt leader and install the conical washer and nut.
No. The manual notes that it is much easier if the bolt and reinforcement plate are not engaged (not screwed together) while inserting them into the frame. Keep them separate during insertion, then pull them into position.
Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle and wear eye protection. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. After installation, check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened.
Check that all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual recommends checking the hitch frequently during use to ensure fasteners remain tight.
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 damaged hitch or ball must be removed and replaced. Do not continue to use a damaged component.
The drawbar must be used in the RISE position only.
The 24790 is designed for Honda CR-V models (2006–2015 based on manual copyright). Confirm your exact model year with the manufacturer or retailer.
You need a 3/4" wrench, a torque wrench, and possibly a file or pry tool if the frame access hole needs enlargement. No drilling is required.
