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.

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 installation requires lowering the muffler by removing the two rearmost rubber exhaust hangers, and the heat shield must be trimmed. The exhaust is then reinstalled to its original position. The hitch is designed to fit with the exhaust system in place, but the muffler must be supported during removal to prevent damage.
The carbon canister must be lowered during installation by removing the rearmost M8 bolt on the driver side frame, allowing the canister to hang. It is then reinstalled using the original M8 bolt after the hitch is mounted. The hitch is designed to accommodate this component.
Required tools include: ratchet, torque wrench, safety glasses, sockets (10mm, 13mm, 11/16", 15/16"), 6" socket extension, exhaust removal pliers, tape measure, marker, die grinder, and tin snips. A professional installer is recommended if you are not comfortable performing the installation yourself.
The fastener kit 76518F includes: (4) carriage bolts 7/16"-14 x 1.50 GR5, (4) spacers .250 x .875 x 3.00, (4) conical washers 7/16", (4) hex nuts 7/16"-14 GR2, and (4) fish wires 7/16". These are used to attach the hitch to the frame rails.
The manual does not specify battery disconnection as a requirement for this installation.
The average installation time for professional installers is 45 minutes. If you do not feel comfortable performing this installation on your own or are in need of assistance, please contact a professional installer.
Yes. The forward attachment holes on both driver and passenger side frame rails must be enlarged using a die grinder to insert the carriage block and bolt. The heat shield must also be trimmed in the area marked in Figure 2 (approximately 5" x 8.5"). All dimensions are approximate; confirm fit prior to trimming.
No. Installation requires enlarging the forward attachment holes on the frame rails using a die grinder and trimming the heat shield. These are permanent modifications.

The heat shield trim area is approximately 5" x 8.5" as marked in Figure 2. All dimensions are approximate; you must confirm fit prior to trimming.
All 7/16"-14 fasteners must be tightened with a torque wrench to 50 Lb.-Ft. (68 N·M). Proper torque is needed to keep the hitch secure to the vehicle when towing.

Insert the spacer block and carriage bolt into the attachment holes in the frame through the enlarged holes on both sides using fish wire. Leave the fish wires attached. This is done for both the rearward attachment holes (Figure 4) and forward attachment holes (Figure 5). The fish wire helps route the bolts through the frame before final tightening.
The conical washer must be installed with the teeth side facing toward the hitch. This is shown in Figure 1 and is critical for proper fastening.
Yes. On the passenger side, the heat shield must be sandwiched between the frame rail and the hitch during installation.
Fasteners are hand-tightened in step 7 after the hitch is raised into position and the nuts and conical washers are installed. They are then fully tightened to 50 Lb.-Ft. in step 9 using a torque wrench after the hitch is centered on the vehicle.
Always wear safety glasses when installing the hitch. Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle and wear eye protection. Be sure the exhaust is supported before removing from rubber hangers to prevent damage. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. If the hitch is removed, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes.
Always wear your seatbelt. Slow down when towing and never exceed any posted speed limit. Load the trailer heavier in front. Do not exceed the lower of your towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or 2000 Lb. GVWR / 300 Lb. 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 your brakes and do not speed up.
