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 2000 LB (908 Kg) and the maximum tongue weight is 200 LB (90.8 Kg). Do not exceed the lower of the towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or these limits.
Required tools are: utility knife, T-20 and T-25 Torx drivers, 13mm and 11/16" wrenches, extension driver, 1/2" drill bit, and a torque wrench. You will also need a pull wire (included in the kit).
The kit includes: (2) M8 X 1.25 X 55 CL 9.8 bolts, (2) 7/16" conical washers, (2) 7/16-14 X 1.50 GR 5 carriage bolts, (2) 7/16-14 hex nuts, (2) 1/4" X 1" X 3" blocks, and (1) pull wire. Additional fasteners are available in Fastener Kit 24848F (sold separately).
Yes. Fascia trim is required. The driver's side fascia must be trimmed near the exhaust as needed, and you must obtain the vehicle owner's approval before cutting.
Yes. You must remove the two bolts from the exhaust hanger bracket (shown in Figure 1) to lower the exhaust. The hitch bracket is then sandwiched between the frame and the exhaust hanger bracket. Return the exhaust bolts to the vehicle owner after installation.
Yes. You must drill two 1/2" holes in the passenger side frame rail. The hitch is used as a template to mark the hole locations. An optional step allows you to lower the hitch to drill two additional 1/2" holes into the frame rails if needed.
No. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. Use a drill with a 1/2" bit to create the required holes.
1. Remove the plastic fascia covering the passenger side frame rail by removing five Torx screws, and remove the two plastic fascia nuts from the fascia tabs. 2. Remove the two bolts from the exhaust hanger bracket to lower the exhaust. 3. Slide the driver's side bracket above the exhaust bracket, sandwiching the hitch bracket between frame and exhaust hanger bracket, and loosely tighten the two M8 bolts. 4. Align the passenger bracket with the locating edge and tab, mark the 1/2" hole locations using the hitch as a template, and drill the holes. 5. Use a pull wire to thread the passenger side fasteners through the frame rail access slot, through the hitch side bracket (rearward attachment first), and install conical washers and hex nuts. 6. Trim the driver's side fascia near the exhaust as needed (obtain owner approval first). 7. Reattach fascia tabs and tighten all fasteners to specification.
The passenger side fasteners are installed using a pull wire (included in the kit). The wire is threaded through the access slot in the frame rail, through the side bracket of the hitch (rearward attachment first), and then conical washers and hex nuts are installed. This method allows fastening without removing the frame rail.
All M8 X 1.25 CL 9.8 fasteners must be tightened with a torque wrench to 20 Lb.-Ft. (27 N·M).
All 7/16-14 Gr. 5 fasteners must be tightened with a torque wrench to 50 Lb.-Ft. (68 N·M).
No. The two M8 bolts should be loosely tightened initially (Step 3) to allow for alignment of the passenger bracket. Only after the passenger bracket is aligned and the holes are drilled should all fasteners be tightened to their final torque specifications.
Yes. The manual notes that you should rotate the hitch for ease of installation, particularly when positioning the driver's side bracket above the exhaust bracket.
Do not discard the two plastic fascia nuts removed from the fascia tabs in Step 1. They are needed to reattach the fascia tabs in Step 7.
Return the two bolts removed from the exhaust hanger bracket to the vehicle owner. These are factory fasteners that belong to the vehicle.
Return the plastic fascia covering and the five Torx screws to the vehicle owner. These are factory components that belong to the vehicle.
Align the passenger bracket with the locating edge and tab (shown in Figure 2). Check that the hitch is aligned perpendicular to the vehicle and that the bracket is flat against the frame rail. The passenger side bracket may need to be pushed flat against the frame rail. Use the hitch as a template to mark the hole locations.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual emphasizes this as an ongoing maintenance requirement, not just a one-time check.
The drawbar must be used in the RISE position only. The drawbar kit (part number 3594) is sold separately.
A hitch or ball which has been damaged should be removed and replaced. Do not attempt to repair a damaged hitch or ball.
Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle and wear eye protection. 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.
