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 manual does not specify whether battery disconnection is required. Contact the manufacturer or your installer for clarification.
No drilling is required. The hitch uses existing holes in the frame rails. However, the heat shield must be trimmed for bolt clearance (see Figure 2).
Tighten all 7/16-14 GR5 fasteners to 50 lb.-ft. (68 N·m).
Maximum towing capacity depends on hitch type: Weight Distributing hitch supports 4000 lb (1816 kg) gross trailer weight with 525 lb (238 kg) tongue weight; Weight Carrying Ball Mount supports 3500 lb (1589 kg) gross trailer weight with 525 lb (238 kg) tongue weight.

The hitch includes: (6) carriage bolts 7/16-14 x 1.75 GR5, (6) hex nuts 7/16-14, (6) spacers with square holes for 7/16" carriage bolts, (6) conical washers 7/16", and (6) pull wires 7/16". The fastener kit is part number 75876F.
The installation procedure requires you to lower the exhaust by disconnecting rubber exhaust hangers from their brackets in Step 1, and then raise it back into position in Step 7 after the hitch is secured. The exhaust hangers are reconnected after installation, so there should be no permanent interference.
Fishwire is used to route the 7/16" carriage bolts through the access hole and down through the holes in both frame rails. According to Figure 3, the fishwire should be kinked to keep the spacer independent of the bolt during installation.
Remove all (4) heat shield screws from each frame rail in Step 2. After trimming the heat shield for bolt clearance, reinstall 3 of the 4 fasteners in Step 5, leaving out the rearmost fastener on the frame rail.
Remove all (4) plastic plugs from existing holes in each frame rail, but keep only the rear access hole plug for reinstallation after the bolts are in place. The other 3 plugs are not reinstalled.
The spacers must span both sides of the hole and must not overlap one another. Use the fishwire to route the bolts and spacers through the access hole and down through the holes in both frame rails, ensuring proper positioning before tightening.
The manual specifies that the heat shield must be trimmed for bolt clearance to fit in position (see Figure 2), but does not provide specific dimensions or trimming tolerances. Refer to Figure 2 in the manual for the trimming pattern, or contact the manufacturer for detailed trimming specifications.
