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.

Fastener kit 75235F includes: (5) M12x1.25x40 CL10.9 bolts and (5) 1/2-inch conical washers. These are the only fasteners needed for installation.
The exhaust rod must be removed during installation and then reinstalled at the rubber isolator after the hitch is mounted. The manual requires removal of the exhaust rod near the trunk pan and the rubber isolator on the passenger side. After hitch installation, the exhaust is reinstalled at the rubber isolator.
1. Remove driver side plastic panel (2 plastic rivets, 1 flange nut). 2. Remove tie down bracket (2 bolts). 3. Lower exhaust by removing rubber isolator. 4. Remove exhaust rod (2 bolts). 5. Raise hitch into position and loosely install M12 bolts and conical washers into weldnuts. On driver side, sandwich hitch bracket between frame rail and tie down bracket. 6. Tighten all fasteners to 76 Lb.-Ft. (103 N·M). 7. Reinstall exhaust rod at rubber isolator.
On the driver side, the hitch bracket must be positioned between the frame rail and the tie down bracket to ensure proper alignment and secure mounting to the vehicle frame. This positioning is critical for the hitch to function safely during towing.
Bolts should be loosely installed first. Step 5 specifies to 'loosely install M12 bolt and conical washer into weldnuts.' Only after the hitch is positioned correctly should all fasteners be tightened to 76 Lb.-Ft. (103 N·M) in Step 6.
Bolts are M12x1.25x40 CL10.9. There are 5 bolts total in the fastener kit 75235F. Each bolt is paired with a 1/2-inch conical washer. All bolts must be tightened to 76 Lb.-Ft. (103 N·M).
The conical washers (1/2-inch, qty 5) are installed with each M12 bolt. The manual specifies that the teeth side of the weldnut must be against the hitch, which works with the conical washers to ensure secure fastening.
The driver side plastic appearance panel (removed in Step 1) and the exhaust rod (removed in Step 4) are returned to the vehicle owner. These components are removed during installation but are not part of the hitch assembly.
10mm socket: to remove plastic rivets and flange nut from driver side panel. 17mm socket: to remove tie down bracket bolts. 12mm socket: to remove exhaust rod bolts. A flat head screwdriver is also needed for the plastic panel.
Always wear safety glasses during installation. Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle. Do not use a torch to cut access or attachment holes. If the hitch is removed, plug all holes in the trunk pan or body panels to prevent water and exhaust fume entry. A damaged hitch or ball must be removed and replaced immediately.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. Proper torque is essential to keep the hitch secure to the vehicle when towing. The manual recommends periodic checks of all fasteners.
The manual states to 'check hitch frequently, making sure all fasteners and ball are properly tightened.' Specific retorque intervals are not provided in the manual.

A hitch or ball which has been damaged should be removed and replaced. Do not continue towing with a damaged hitch.
