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 fastener kit 76521F includes six (6) M8 x 1.25 hex bolts with washers. These bolts are used to attach the hitch to the bumper beam impact bar structure.
The average installation time for professional installers is 90 minutes. If you do not feel comfortable performing this installation on your own or are in need of assistance, please contact a professional installer.
The manual states that if you do not feel comfortable performing this installation on your own or are in need of assistance, you should contact a professional installer. The installation involves removal of multiple plastic trim components, disconnection of wiring, and cutting of the rear fascia.
All M8 fasteners must be tightened to 20 Lb.-Ft. (27 N·M) using a torque wrench. Proper torque is needed to keep the hitch secure to the vehicle when towing.
Yes, a 1.0 inch by 6.5 inch notch must be cut in the bottom of the rear fascia using a utility knife. The cut begins on the left side of the existing opening in the fascia. Before trimming, ensure the area is clear of all electrical wiring.
No. The manual explicitly states: "Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch." Use a utility knife to cut the 1.0 inch by 6.5 inch notch in the fascia.
No drilling is required. The hitch uses six existing M8 bolt holes in the bumper beam impact bar structure. The installation involves removing factory fasteners from these holes and replacing them with M8 bolts from the fastener kit.
The following components must be removed: (1) rear bottom appearance panel (partially), (2) wheel well liner screws on both driver and passenger sides, (3) wheel well trim on both sides, (4) taillight covers on both sides, and (5) rear fascia. The bumper beam itself should not be completely removed.
Two (2) plastic screws with clips must be removed from the front end of the rear bottom appearance panel using a T10 Torx bit. Additionally, twelve (12) screws must be removed from the front end using a T25 Torx bit.
Four (4) screws must be removed from the wheel well liner on the driver side using a T25 Torx bit. The same process must be repeated for the passenger side, for a total of 8 screws.
Two (2) screws must be removed from the fascia connection point at each wheel well using a T20 Torx bit, for a total of 4 screws (2 driver side, 2 passenger side).
One (1) screw must be removed from below each taillight cover using a T20 Torx bit, for a total of 2 screws (1 driver side, 1 passenger side).
Two (2) screws must be removed from the center of the fascia using a T20 Torx bit.
A 15 mm socket is required to remove the six (6) M8 bolts from the bumper beam.
No. The manual explicitly states: "Do not completely remove bumper beam." Only remove the six M8 bolts from the bumper beam to allow the hitch to be positioned on top of the impact bar structure.
Start with the driver side. Raise the hitch into position on top of the impact bar structure and loosely tighten the M8 bolts provided in the fastener kit, starting from the driver side.
The bolts should be loosely tightened first. After positioning the hitch on the impact bar structure, loosely tighten all M8 bolts, then use a torque wrench to tighten all fasteners to the final specification of 20 Lb.-Ft. (27 N·M).
Carefully set the fascia aside for reinstallation. After the hitch is installed and the fascia notch is cut, the fascia must be reinstalled along with all other removed components.
Yes. A wiring harness on the passenger side must be disconnected during fascia removal (Step 5) and reconnected during reinstallation (Step 8). The manual notes this is present "if present," suggesting it may not be on all vehicles.
Cut a 1.0 inch by 6.5 inch notch in the bottom of the fascia. The trim begins on the left side of the existing opening in the fascia. Before trimming, ensure the area is clear of all electrical wiring.
Always wear safety glasses when installing the hitch. Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle and wear eye protection. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. Before trimming the fascia, ensure the area is clear of all electrical wiring.
Check that the hitch is securely mounted and all fasteners are tight. The manual states: "Check all fasteners are tight and your hitch is securely mounted to your vehicle periodically." Verify that all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened.
The manual states you should check all fasteners periodically to ensure they are tight and the hitch is securely mounted to your vehicle. A specific retorque interval is not provided in the manual.
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 which has been damaged should be removed and replaced. Do not continue to use a damaged hitch.
Slow down when towing and never exceed any posted speed limit. The manual does not specify a maximum towing speed beyond this general guidance.
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.
