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.

This is a weight-carrying hitch with a maximum gross trailer weight of 5000 lb (2270 kg) and maximum tongue weight of 750 lb (340 kg). Do not exceed the lower of your vehicle manufacturer's towing rating or these limits.
Required tools: ratchet, torque wrench, safety glasses, 10 mm socket, 16 mm socket, T25 Torx bit, 6-inch socket extension, panel removal tool, plastic trim tools, tape, utility knife, and silicone sealant.
No drilling is required. The hitch uses 8 existing factory M10 bolts from the bumper beam. However, you must cut a notch in the lower fascia using a utility knife and tape as shown in Figure 4 (3.5 inches wide by 2.0 inches tall).
All 8 M10 fasteners must be tightened to 53 Lb.-Ft. (72 N·M) using a torque wrench. Proper torque is essential to keep the hitch secure to the vehicle when towing.
The manual states that average installation time is 90 minutes for professional installers. If you do not feel comfortable performing the installation on your own or need assistance, contact a professional installer. The job involves removing the rear fascia, bumper beam, and interior panels.
Always wear your seatbelt. Slow down when towing and never exceed posted speed limits. Load the trailer heavier in front. If excess sway occurs, take your foot off the gas pedal and hold the steering wheel steady—do not apply brakes or speed up. Do not exceed the lower of your vehicle manufacturer's towing rating or 5000 lb GVWR / 750 lb tongue weight.
Check the hitch frequently, making sure all fasteners and ball are properly tightened. The manual emphasizes periodic inspection to ensure the hitch remains securely mounted to your vehicle.
The manual does not specify what hardware or components are included with the hitch. Contact Horizon Global technical support at 800-632-3290 or TechnicalSupport@horizonglobal.com for a complete parts list.
No. Part numbers 76183, 84183, and CQT76183 are designed for 2018-Current Audi Q5 and SQ5 models only. The manual does not confirm compatibility with 2017 or earlier model years. Visit www.horizonglobal.com or contact technical support at 800-632-3290 to verify fitment for your specific vehicle.
Yes. Step 2 of the installation requires removing the bumper beam and cross bar using a 16 mm socket to remove 8 M10 factory bolts. The bumper beam and cross bar must be returned to the vehicle owner after the hitch is installed.
You must remove the driver side interior panel and passenger side interior panel. On the driver side, unclip 2 wiring harnesses if present. On the passenger side, do not remove any wiring harness. Both sides require removal of 1 flange nut from a bumper fascia stud behind the insulation material using a 10 mm socket.
Fascia removal is a multi-step process: (1) Remove 4 screws from rear bottom fascia with T25 Torx bit. (2) Remove 1 screw and 1 plastic flange nut from wheel well liner on both sides. (3) Unclip wheel well trim tabs and pull outward on both sides. (4) Remove 3 screws vertically behind wheel well liner and 1 screw behind wheel well trim on both sides. (5) Open liftgate, remove 2 round plastic screws near trunk weather seal, and remove rear cargo flooring. (6) Remove scuff plate and 2 flange nuts from recessed bumper fascia studs. (7) Remove interior panels and fasteners. (8) Remove fascia starting at outer edges near wheel wells, pulling gently.
Using tape and a utility knife, cut a notch in the lower part of the fascia measuring 3.5 inches wide by 2.0 inches tall, centered (CL) as shown in Figure 4. This is a permanent modification. Do not cut the wiring behind the center lower fascia.
Installation sequence: (1) Remove rear fascia and bumper beam. (2) Apply silicone sealant around the opening on the end panel on both sides. (3) Raise the hitch into position and loosely install the 8 existing factory M10 bolts. (4) Tighten all M10 fasteners to 53 Lb.-Ft. (72 N·M) with a torque wrench. (5) Cut a notch in the lower fascia. (6) Reinstall all fasteners, wiring harness, panels, rubber plugs, scuff plate, wheel well trim, and fascia.
The manual does not specify whether battery disconnection is required. Contact Horizon Global technical support at 800-632-3290 or TechnicalSupport@horizonglobal.com for guidance on battery disconnection before beginning installation.
The manual does not explicitly state whether the vehicle must be lifted or supported on a lift. However, the installation involves working beneath the vehicle and removing the bumper beam and fascia. The manual advises observing safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle and wearing eye protection. Consult a professional installer if you are unsure about safe vehicle support.
Step 3 instructs you to loosely install the 8 M10 bolts first. Step 4 then requires tightening all M10 fasteners to 53 Lb.-Ft. (72 N·M) with a torque wrench. The manual does not specify a tightening sequence or whether to use a cross-pattern. For proper fastener installation, consider using a cross or star pattern to ensure even clamping.
The manual does not describe any electrical wiring or connections for this hitch. It is a weight-carrying receiver hitch. However, the installation involves unclipping wiring harnesses on the driver side (which must be reconnected) and avoiding removal of wiring on the passenger side. If you plan to use electrical accessories like lights or a brake controller, consult the accessory manufacturer's instructions.
After installation, verify that all fasteners are tight and the hitch is securely mounted. The manual emphasizes checking the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. If the hitch is removed later, plug all holes in the trunk pan or body panels to prevent water and exhaust fume entry.
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.
No. This is a weight-carrying hitch only. The manual specifies that weight-distributing capability is listed as N/A. The maximum gross trailer weight is 5000 lb (2270 kg) and maximum tongue weight is 750 lb (340 kg) for weight-carrying use only.
If excess sway occurs, take your foot off the gas pedal and hold the steering wheel as steady as possible. Do not apply your brakes and do not speed up. Reduce speed and maintain steady steering until the sway subsides.
Silicone sealant is used to seal around the opening on the end panel on both sides before raising the hitch into position. This prevents water and other contaminants from entering the vehicle through the mounting holes.
Yes. Part numbers 76183, 84183, and CQT76183 are designed for both 2018-Current Audi Q5 and SQ5 models. Visit www.horizonglobal.com or contact technical support at 800-632-3290 for confirmation of specific trim levels and years.
From the wheel well liner on both sides: remove 1 screw and 1 plastic flange nut. From the upper area behind the wheel well liner on both sides: remove 3 screws located vertically. From behind the wheel well trim on both sides: remove 1 screw. All fasteners are removed using a T25 Torx bit and 10 mm socket.
Open the liftgate and remove 2 round plastic screws near the trunk weather seal using a T25 Torx bit. Remove the rear cargo flooring. Then remove 2 flange nuts from two recessed bumper fascia studs under the scuff plate (covered by rubber plugs) using a 10 mm socket.
Eight (8) existing factory M10 bolts are reused. These bolts are removed from the bumper beam and cross bar in Step 2, then loosely installed to the hitch in Step 3, and finally tightened to 53 Lb.-Ft. (72 N·M) in Step 4.
The bumper beam and cross bar are removed in Step 2 using a 16 mm socket to remove 8 M10 factory bolts. The manual states these components must be returned to the vehicle owner.
The maximum tongue weight is 750 lb (340 kg). Do not exceed this limit or the lower of your vehicle manufacturer's towing rating.
Tools required for fascia removal: T25 Torx bit, 10 mm socket, 16 mm socket, plastic trim tools, panel removal tool, and a ratchet. A 6-inch socket extension is also helpful for reaching fasteners.
Yes. In Step 1(g), you unclip 2 wiring harnesses on the driver side if present. These must be reconnected when reinstalling the interior panel in Step 6. On the passenger side, do not remove any wiring harness.
No. The manual explicitly states: 'Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch.' Use only a utility knife and tape to cut the notch in the lower fascia as shown in Figure 4.
Always wear safety glasses when installing the hitch. The manual also advises observing safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle and wearing eye protection.
Horizon Global provides a Limited Lifetime Warranty to the original consumer purchaser. The product is warranted to be free from material defects in material and workmanship, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

Check all fasteners frequently to ensure they remain tight. If fasteners are found to be loose, retighten them to the specified torque of 53 Lb.-Ft. (72 N·M) for M10 bolts using a torque wrench. Loose fasteners can compromise hitch security during towing and create a safety hazard.
A hitch or ball that has been damaged should be removed and replaced. Do not attempt to repair a damaged hitch. Contact Horizon Global technical support at 800-632-3290 or TechnicalSupport@horizonglobal.com for replacement options.
If the hitch has been removed, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes. If the hitch is still installed and water or fumes are entering, verify that the silicone sealant around the end panel openings is intact and properly applied. Reapply sealant if necessary. If the problem persists, contact a professional installer or Horizon Global technical support.
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. Account for the combined weight of the carrier and everything loaded onto it.
