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.

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 76553 is a Class II weight-carrying hitch receiver designed for the 2022–Current Toyota Corolla Cross. It allows you to tow a trailer with a maximum gross weight of 2000 lb. (908 kg) and tongue weight of 300 lb. (136 kg). The hitch mounts to the vehicle's rear end panel and accepts a standard 2-inch ball coupler.
Yes, the 76553 is designed for 2022–Current Toyota Corolla Cross models. However, the manual recommends visiting the manufacturer's website at www.horizonglobal.com for the most up-to-date information regarding specific trim levels and model years, as application details may vary.
The average installation time for professional installers is 75 minutes. If you do not feel comfortable performing the installation yourself or need assistance, the manual recommends contacting a professional installer.
Installation requires removal of: both taillights (2 screws each, 10 mm socket), fascia screws in the liftgate area (4 with 10 mm socket, 2 with Phillips screwdriver), splash guards if present (4 screws each, 10 mm socket, plus 2 plastic push rivets), wheel well trim (4 plastic push rivets each side), the rear fascia (1 plastic push rivet each side, plus electrical connectors), and the bumper beam (8 M8 bolts, 4 per side, 13 mm socket). All removed components except the bumper beam and its bolts are reinstalled after hitch installation.
The 8 supplied M8 bolts and conical washers are loosely installed into the weldnuts in the end panel (4 per side). The conical washers must be oriented with the teeth side facing the hitch. All fasteners are then tightened together to 20 Lb.-Ft. (27 N·M) using a torque wrench. Fasteners must not be tightened individually; they are tightened as a complete set after all are installed.
Yes. The center area of the rear fascia must be trimmed using a tape measure, marker, and utility knife to clear the hitch. The dimensions are approximate (3 inches wide by 3½ inches tall from the center of the hole in the tabs). Before cutting, you must verify that no wires or sensors are in the trimming area. The fascia is then reinstalled after trimming.
The conical washers must be installed with the teeth side facing toward the hitch. This orientation is critical for proper fastening and load distribution.
The M8 bolts and conical washers should be loosely installed first (Step 8), then all fasteners are tightened together to 20 Lb.-Ft. (27 N·M) using a torque wrench (Step 9). Do not tighten individual fasteners; tighten them as a complete set.
Raise the hitch into position and align the attachment holes in the hitch with the weldnuts in the end panel. Once aligned, loosely install the supplied M8 bolts and conical washers (4 per side) into the weldnuts, then tighten all fasteners to 20 Lb.-Ft. (27 N·M).
All electrical connectors removed during disassembly must be reconnected during reassembly. These include the taillight connectors (2 total, one per side) and any other electrical connectors unplugged from the fascia. Verify all connections are secure before completing installation.
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 as steady as possible—do not apply brakes and do not speed up. Do not exceed the lower of the towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or the hitch's maximum capacity of 2000 lb. GVWR / 300 lb. tongue weight.
A hitch or ball that has been damaged should be removed and replaced. Do not attempt to repair a damaged hitch. If the hitch is removed, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual does not specify an exact interval, but periodic inspection is essential to maintain safe towing. Verify that the hitch remains securely mounted to the vehicle.
The manual states that fasteners should be checked frequently to ensure they remain tight. While a specific retorque interval is not provided, periodic verification that all fasteners are properly tightened to 20 Lb.-Ft. (27 N·M) is recommended to maintain safe towing.

Check all fasteners using a torque wrench and retighten any that are loose to 20 Lb.-Ft. (27 N·M). The manual emphasizes that proper torque is needed to keep the hitch secure to the vehicle when towing. Periodically verify that all fasteners remain tight, as vibration during towing can loosen fasteners over time.
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. Ensure the trailer is loaded heavier in front and that the tongue weight does not exceed 300 lb.
The manual instructs you to verify that no wires or sensors are in the trimming area before cutting. If a wire or sensor is damaged, do not proceed with installation. Contact a professional installer or the vehicle manufacturer for repair guidance. Damage to electrical components may affect vehicle safety and functionality.
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.
