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 76217 hitch has a maximum gross trailer weight of 4500 lb (2043 kg) and a maximum tongue weight of 675 lb (306 kg) for both weight carrying and weight distributing configurations. However, you must not exceed the lower of your towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or these limits.
The fastener kit 76217F includes: (2) handle nuts 1/2"-13 (Part# 1332), (2) blocks 0.250" x 1" x 3" (Part# 3022), (2) carriage bolts 1/2"-13 x 1.5" (Part# 55563), (4) conical washers 1/2" (Part# 01292008), (2) hex nuts 1/2"-13, (2) bolts 1/2"-13 x 1.75", and (2) fish wires 1/2"-13 (Part# 5482).
Required tools include: T15 and T20 star bit drivers, 7mm, 8mm, 13mm, and 15mm sockets, 3/4" socket, 6" socket extension, ratchet, torque wrench, safety glasses, marker, tape measure, flat-head screwdriver, plastic trim tools, and utility knife.
Yes, the rear bumper must be removed as part of the installation process. The bumper is removed in step 2 and is not reinstalled after hitch installation. The bumper should be returned to the vehicle owner.
The urea tank does not need to be completely removed, but it must be lowered to allow access to the frame rail attachment points. Step 3 details the process of lowering the tank by removing push pins, electrical connectors, and bolts. The tank is then reinstalled in step 7.
The installation sequence is: (1) Remove rear fascia by removing screws and bolts from wheel wells and trunk, then disconnect electrical connection; (2) Remove bumper by removing nuts and bolts; (3) Lower urea tank by removing push pins, electrical connectors, and bolts; (4) Slide hitch into position and align with attachment holes; (5) Attach rear fasteners (fish wire, carriage bolt, and hex nut) and forward fasteners (handle nut, conical washer, and bolt) loosely; (6) Torque all fasteners; (7) Trim fascia opening; (8) Reinstall urea tank, bracket, exhaust bracket, and fascia in reverse order.
Slide the hitch into position aligning with the attachment holes. For the rear attachment, use fish wire (item p) to thread items k (carriage bolt) and l (block) through the rear of the frame, then loosely attach items m (conical washer) and n (hex nut). For the forward attachment, bend the handle nut (item j) as needed, feed it into the vehicle frame rail to align with the attachment hole, and loosely install items m (conical washer) and o (bolt). All fasteners are tightened in step 5.
Torque all 1/2" handle nut fasteners to 50 ft-lb and all 1/2" carriage bolts to 75 ft-lb. Proper torque is essential to keep the hitch securely mounted to the vehicle when towing.
No drilling is required. The hitch uses existing frame attachment holes. However, the rear bumper fascia must be trimmed. At the bottom of the fascia, trim a 5" x 3.75" opening from the center of the fascia (see Figure 2).
No. The manual explicitly states: "Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch." Use a utility knife or other appropriate cutting tool to trim the 5" x 3.75" opening from the center of the rear bumper fascia.
No. The manual explicitly states: "DO NOT cut, weld or modify this receiver." Any modifications to the hitch are prohibited and will void the warranty and compromise safety.
The conical washers (item m, Part# 01292008) are used with both the rear and forward attachment fasteners. The teeth side of the conical washer must be positioned against the hitch. Four conical washers are included in the kit (two for rear attachment and two for forward attachment).
When installing the rear fasteners, the fish wire (item p) should be kinked or bent to keep the block spacer (item k) independent and separate from the carriage bolt (item l). This ensures proper spacing and alignment of the fasteners during installation.
Fasteners are installed loosely in step 4 to allow proper alignment of the hitch with the frame attachment holes. Once all fasteners are in place and the hitch is properly positioned, they are then torqued to specification in step 5 to ensure a secure connection.
During fascia removal (step 1d), one electrical connection on the passenger side must be unclipped and disconnected. During urea tank lowering (step 3b), three electrical connectors must be removed from the urea tank. These connections are reconnected during the reinstallation phase (step 7) in reverse order.
Do not remove the hose from the bottom of the urea tank. The hose can be unclipped as needed for extra clearance during tank lowering, but it should not be disconnected. Support the tank as needed to allow access to the frame rail while protecting the hose.
Save the following fasteners for reinstallation: (2) bolts from the urea tank bracket (removed in step 2b) and the urea tank mounting bracket itself (removed in step 2c). These are reinstalled in step 7. The bumper nuts and bolts should be returned to the vehicle owner, not reused.
The exhaust bracket must be removed from the metal hanger in step 2c. After removal, the exhaust will hang from the center rubber isolator. The exhaust bracket is then reinstalled in step 7 in reverse order.
After installation, check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual emphasizes that proper torque is needed to keep the hitch secure to the vehicle when towing. If the hitch is removed at any time, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes.
The manual states: "Check hitch frequently, making sure all fasteners and ball are properly tightened." However, the manual does not specify an exact interval (e.g., every 100 miles, monthly, etc.). For a specific maintenance schedule, contact technical support at 800-632-3290.
Always wear safety glasses when installing the hitch. Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. If the hitch or ball becomes damaged, it must be removed and replaced immediately. A damaged hitch should not be used for towing.
Load the trailer heavier in front. Always wear your seatbelt. Slow down when towing and never exceed any posted speed limit. Do not exceed the lower of your towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or the hitch rating (4500 lb max gross trailer weight, 675 lb max tongue weight). If excess sway occurs, take your foot off the gas pedal and hold the steering wheel as steady as possible. Do not apply brakes and do not speed up.
The average installation time for professional installers is 70 minutes. If you do not feel comfortable performing this installation on your own or are in need of assistance, contact a professional installer.
