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 maximum gross trailer weight depends on the hitch type: Weight Distributing hitch supports 5,250 lb (2,383 kg) maximum gross trailer weight with 675 lb (306 kg) maximum tongue weight. Weight Carrying Ball Mount supports 4,500 lb (2,043 kg) maximum gross trailer weight with 675 lb (306 kg) maximum tongue weight. Do not exceed the lower of the towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or these limits.
Required wrenches: 10mm, 18mm, 22mm, and 5/8". Pullwires are provided with the hitch. A torque wrench is required for final fastener tightening. No drill bits are needed—no drilling is required for this installation.
Yes. The installation procedure depends on whether your vehicle has an O.E.M. Class 2 Integrated Hitch/Bumper. Vehicles with O.E.M. hitch follow the procedure on page 1 (Figure 1), which involves relocating the electrical bracket and using existing weldnuts. Vehicles without O.E.M. hitch follow the procedure on page 2 (Figure 4), which uses existing access holes in the frame rails. Refer to your vehicle's equipment to determine which procedure applies.
The pullwire method is used to feed carriage bolts and blocks through the frame rail access slots. The pullwire is kinked (bent) to keep the block independent of the bolt, preventing the fasteners from being pushed back into the frame. The pullwire is then fed through the existing slot and hitch, allowing the bolts and blocks to be positioned correctly inside the frame rails before the hitch is raised into position.
No. If your vehicle has an O.E.M. Class 2 Integrated Hitch/Bumper, the 75751 is installed alongside it by relocating the electrical bracket and using the existing weldnuts in the frame rails. The O.E.M. hitch remains in place. However, you must not use both hitches at the same time, as this may overload and cause damage to the vehicle.
Return the existing bolts to the vehicle owner. These bolts are removed from inside the frame rails in the first step of installation for vehicles with O.E.M. hitch.
Remove the two (2) screws from the existing electrical bracket. Shift the bracket toward the driver's side using the inside screw hole on the bracket and the outside weld nut. This relocates the bracket to accommodate the new hitch installation.
Tighten all M12 CL10.9 fasteners with a torque wrench to 75 Lb.-Ft. (102 N·M).
Tighten all M14 CL10.9 fasteners with a torque wrench to 115 Lb.-Ft. (156 N·M).
Tighten all 7/16-14 GR5 fasteners with a torque wrench to 50 Lb.-Ft. (68 N·M).
The kit includes: (6) Carriage Bolts 7/16-14 X 1.75 GR5; (6) Hex Nuts 7/16-14; (6) Blocks; (4) Bolts M12 X 1.75 X 45 CL10.9 OR M14 X 2.0 X 45 CL10.9; (6) Conical Washers 7/16"; and (4) Conical Washers 5/8". The fastener kit is part number 75751F.
Yes. After raising the hitch into position and attaching it with conical toothed washers and nuts, hand-tighten the fasteners first. Final torque tightening with a torque wrench should be performed after all fasteners are hand-tightened and the hitch is properly positioned.
If the hitch is removed, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes. This prevents water and exhaust gases from entering the vehicle interior.
A hitch or ball which has been damaged should be removed and replaced. Do not continue to use a damaged hitch or ball.
Check the hitch frequently, making sure all fasteners and ball are properly tightened. The manual does not specify an exact interval, but emphasizes the importance of regular inspection to ensure safe operation.
No. Do not use both hitches at the same time. This may overload and cause damage to the vehicle. If your vehicle is equipped with an O.E.M. hitch, use only one hitch for towing.
Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle and wear eye protection. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. These precautions protect you from injury and prevent damage to the vehicle.
Yes, part number 75751 is designed for Ford Escape (including Hybrid), Mercury Mariner (including Hybrid), and Mazda Tribute.

Yes, a compatible bike rack, cargo carrier or other accessory with a 2" x 2" shank can generally be used. Make sure the accessory does not exceed the hitch’s tongue weight rating, the vehicle’s limits or the accessory manufacturer’s capacity.
