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.

Equip your vehicle for towing and hitch-mounted accessories with a dependable CURT 2" trailer hitch. Designed for a vehicle-specific fit, CURT receiver hitches provide a strong and secure connection point for towing trailers, carrying bikes, transporting cargo and using other compatible 2-inch hitch accessories.
Our selection of CURT 2-inch receiver hitches includes options for trucks, SUVs, crossovers, vans and passenger vehicles. Each hitch is engineered to match specific vehicle mounting points, helping provide a clean installation and dependable performance. Depending on the vehicle application, available options may include Class 3, Class 4 and heavy-duty receiver hitches with different gross trailer weight and tongue weight capacities.
A 2" x 2" receiver opening is one of the most common hitch sizes and works with a wide range of towing accessories, including ball mounts, bike racks, cargo carriers, hitch steps and tow hooks. When towing a trailer, you may also need a properly rated trailer ball, hitch pin, wiring harness, brake controller or weight distribution system.
CURT trailer hitches feature a durable black finish designed to help protect against rust, scratches and exposure to road conditions. Many models install using existing holes in the vehicle frame, although drilling, trimming or temporary removal of vehicle components may be required for certain applications.
Use our vehicle fitment tools to find the correct CURT 2" trailer hitch for your year, make and model. Always compare the hitch rating with your vehicle’s towing capacity and the ratings of every component in your towing setup. The maximum towing capacity is determined by the lowest-rated component.

The hitch is available in two configurations depending on bed length: one for 56" bed models and one for 75" bed models. Refer to the appropriate installation diagram for your bed length. If you have a 75" bed and use the 56" bed installation method, longer ball mounts and weight distributing shanks will be required.
The hitch has two towing ratings depending on the ball mount type. Weight Distributing ball mount: maximum 5000 lb (2270 kg) gross trailer weight and 550 lb (250 kg) tongue weight. Weight Carrying ball mount: maximum 4000 lb (1816 kg) gross trailer weight and 400 lb (182 kg) tongue weight. Do not exceed the lower of the towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or the hitch rating.
You will need: 3/4" wrenches, 1/2" drill bits, a torque wrench, and the Fastener Kit F75186. Eye protection is required. Bolt leaders may be used to assist installation, particularly on 56" bed models.
Fastener Kit F75186 includes: 4 carriage bolts 1/2-13 X 2.00, 2 blocks .25 X 1.500 X 3.00, 2 blocks .25 X 1.00 X 2.00, 4 bolts 1/2-13 X 1.25, 8 lock washers 1/2", 4 conical washers 1/2", 8 hex nuts 1/2-13, and 2 L-brackets. All fasteners must be Towing Products supplied or approved fasteners; do not substitute.
The manual does not explicitly state whether bumper removal is required. However, the installation process involves attaching L-brackets to the bumper bracket and drilling a 1/2" hole into the bumper bracket, suggesting the bumper bracket must be accessible. Consult the manufacturer or an installer for clarification on whether bumper removal is necessary for your specific model year.
Yes, drilling is required. You must drill 1/2" holes into the frame and bumper bracket. For 75" bed models, one 1/2" hole is drilled into the bumper bracket using an obround hole in the L-bracket as a guide. For 56" bed models, one 1/2" hole is drilled into the frame using the forward hole in the bracket as a guide. Use a 1/2" drill bit. The hitch itself must not be drilled or welded.
All 1/2" fasteners must be tightened with a torque wrench to 75 Lb.-Ft. (102 N·M). Do not lubricate the threads before installation, as over-tightening may cause bolt failure. Hand-tighten fasteners initially, then apply final torque.
1. Remove the bolt from the bottom of the frame on both sides. Insert a 1/2" carriage bolt and large bolt plate through the large rear hole in the frame. Repeat for the other side. 2. Lift the hitch to the frame with carriage bolts going down through the second hole from the forward end of the hitch bracket. Install 1/2" lock washers and nuts. Hand-tighten fasteners. 3. Attach the L-brackets to hitch brackets using 1/2" carriage bolts with small bolt plates and 1/2" hex bolts with 1/2" conical washers. Hold the hitch level. Using an obround hole in the L-bracket as a guide, drill a 1/2" hole into the bumper bracket. Install 1/2" hex bolt, serrated washer, lock washer, and nut on both sides. 4. Tighten all 1/2" fasteners to 75 Lb.-Ft. (102 N·M) with a torque wrench.

They are not required but can make the process easier.

Observe safety precautions when working beneath the vehicle and wear eye protection at all times. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch.

Do not drill or weld to the hitch itself.

A damaged hitch or ball must be removed and replaced. Do not attempt to repair or continue using a damaged hitch, as this poses a safety risk.
