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 2 Trailer Hitch, 1-1/4" Square Receiver, Black for Select Chrysler Grand Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan, RAM C/V, Volkswagen Routan 36455 (Part #DT36455) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Hitch 36455 is designed for 2007, 2008, 2009, 2014, and 2015 Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan, VW Routan, and RAM C/V Tradesman. Check your vehicle's year and model against this list. If your vehicle is not listed, contact the manufacturer or a fitment specialist to confirm compatibility.
The hitch 36455 is rated for a maximum gross trailer weight of 3500 lb (1589 kg) and a maximum tongue weight of 300 lb (136 kg). However, you must not exceed the lower of the hitch rating or your vehicle manufacturer's towing rating. Always consult your vehicle's owner manual for its specific towing capacity.
You will need wrenches in 13 mm, 15 mm, and 18 mm sizes, and a torque wrench. No drill bits are required because the hitch uses existing frame bolts on the vehicle—no new holes need to be drilled.
You do not need to fully remove the exhaust, but you must lower it first. Remove the bolt that attaches the rearmost exhaust hanger bracket to the passenger's side frame rail and retain it. After the hitch is installed and tightened, raise the exhaust back into position and reinstall that bolt. Rotating the exhaust hanger bracket before tightening will add clearance between the side bracket and exhaust if needed.
Yes. On some vehicles, air conditioning lines are very close to the hitch attachment point on the passenger's side. Be careful not to damage these lines during installation. The manual includes a plastic loom to snap in place over the AC line on the passenger's side near the bolt if present. See the installation instructions for the location and proper placement of this protective loom.
No. The hitch 36455 uses all existing bolts from your vehicle's frame rails. You will remove four existing bolts (two from the driver's side frame rail and two from the passenger's side frame rail) and reuse them to attach the hitch. A separate fastener kit 36455F is available if you need additional hardware.
1. Lower the exhaust by removing the bolt from the rearmost hanger bracket on the passenger's side frame rail. 2. Snap the plastic loom over the AC line on the passenger's side if present. 3. Remove the four existing bolts from the frame rails (two driver's side, two passenger's side). 4. Raise the hitch into position and attach with the existing bolts, hand-tightened. 5. Push the hitch toward the driver's side so the passenger's side bracket is against the trunk pan, then tighten all fasteners to specification. 6. Raise the exhaust back and reinstall the bolt removed in step 1.
Tighten all M10 CL10.9 fasteners to 53 lb-ft (72 N·m) using a torque wrench. Tighten all M12 CL10.9 fasteners to 92 lb-ft (125 N·m) using a torque wrench. These specifications apply to all frame rail attachment bolts.
After installation, check that all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual recommends checking the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners remain tight. If the hitch is removed at any time, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent water and exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle.
The drawbar kit 36455 (part number 36061) is sold separately and is not included with the hitch. The drawbar must be used in the Rise position only. Contact your supplier or the manufacturer to order the drawbar if needed.
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. A hitch or ball that has been damaged should be removed and replaced immediately.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual does not specify an exact interval, but regular inspection is recommended to maintain safe towing operation.
No. The hitch 36455 requires no drilling. It uses all existing bolts from your vehicle's frame rails. The equipment required list explicitly states 'Drill Bits: None'.
Pushing the hitch toward the driver's side ensures that the passenger's side bracket is fully seated up against the trunk pan. This positioning is required before tightening all fasteners to specification. This step ensures proper alignment and load distribution.
Hand-tighten the bolts first after raising the hitch into position. Then push the hitch toward the driver's side so the passenger's side bracket is against the trunk pan. Only after this positioning step should you tighten all fasteners to the specified torque values using a torque wrench.
Yes, if your vehicle is a 2007, 2008, 2009, 2014, or 2015 model year. The hitch is also compatible with Dodge Grand Caravan, VW Routan, and RAM C/V Tradesman of the same years.
