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.

The maximum cargo capacity is 500 lb. (227 kg), or the truck front Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR), whichever is lower. Do not exceed either limit.
The maximum winch line pull is 9,000 lb. (4,086 kg).
Equipment required: tape, utility knife, tape measure, and marking pencil. Wrenches required: 21mm, 3/4", and two 18mm wrenches. No drill bits are required for hitch installation (drill bits are only needed for fascia trimming, which is a separate step).
The hitch uses two 1/2"-13 hex bolts (GR5, 1.500" long), two conical washers, two spacers, two 1/2"-13 handle nuts, and optionally one flat washer if needed for forward holes. These are part of fastener kit 65050F. The existing M12 bolts from the vehicle's tow hooks are reused.
Yes. The manual explicitly states: "Obtain vehicle owners approval before cutting." This is required because fascia trimming is necessary for installation.
No drilling is required for hitch installation itself. However, drilling is required as part of the fascia trimming process: you must drill four 3/8" holes in the corners of the fascia opening before cutting the 3-1/4" hole. The hitch itself uses existing tow hook bolt holes.
Yes, fascia trim is required. The manual states "Fascia trim required" and "Trim fascia for receiver tube." A 3-1/4" square hole must be cut from the front fascia to allow the receiver tube to pass through. This involves measuring from the existing tow hook bolt, marking the location, drilling four 3/8" corner holes, and carefully cutting the opening.
The fascia opening must be 3-1/4" (3.25 inches or 82.55 mm) square. The opening is located 1-5/8" (1.625 inches or 41.275 mm) from the center line on each side, creating a 3-1/4" square cutout.
Follow these steps: (1) Measure from the tow hook bolt center to the ground. (2) Subtract 3/4" (0.750 inch or 19.05 mm) from that measurement. (3) Measure that difference to the front of the fascia and mark. (4) Mark 3-1/4" up from the lower mark. (5) Locate the center of the fascia left to right and mark 1-5/8" on each side to create a 3-1/4" square. (6) Drill four 3/8" holes in the corners. (7) Carefully cut the 3-1/4" hole.
No. The manual explicitly states: "Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch." Use a utility knife or other appropriate cutting tool instead.
The hitch uses the vehicle's existing tow hooks as attachment points. (1) Remove the flange nuts from the two tow hook bolts (one on each side). On the passenger side, loosen the bolt until flush with the inboard frame rail; on the driver side, remove the bolt completely and keep it for reinstallation. (2) Raise the hitch into position and push both bolts through the hitch brackets to support it. (3) Tape spacers to the handle nuts. (4) Bend and insert the handle nuts through the frame access holes and install two 1/2"-13 bolts with conical washers. (5) Tighten all fasteners to the required torque specification. (6) If the bumper support was loosened, retighten it.
If there is interference with the bumper support, loosen it (do not remove it) and lift the bumper upward to create extra clearance. After the hitch is installed and all fasteners are tightened, retighten the bumper support.
The flat washer (Item 5) is optional and used only if needed due to vehicle variation. If required, tape it to the inside frame rail over the forward holes before raising the hitch into position. This may be necessary to provide proper support at the forward attachment points.
All 1/2" GR5 fasteners must be tightened to 50 lb.-ft. (68 N·m) using a torque wrench.
All M12 CL10.9 fasteners must be tightened to 92 lb.-ft. (125 N·m) using a torque wrench.
You must hold the handle nuts in place to prevent them from rotating during tightening. This ensures proper fastening and prevents the nuts from spinning, which could damage threads or create an unsafe connection.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual recommends regular inspection to maintain safety and proper function.
Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle and wear eye protection. 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. A damaged hitch or ball must be removed and replaced immediately.
If a front-mounted license plate is present, repositioning may be necessary. The manual notes that license plate holder relocation and/or modification may be required. Separate license plate relocation products (part numbers 49802 or 5443) are available and sold separately.

Wear eye protection when working beneath the vehicle. Do not cut with a torch. Check fasteners and ball frequently. If removed, plug all holes to prevent water and exhaust fume entry. Replace any damaged hitch or ball immediately.
If there is interference with the bumper support, loosen it (do not remove it) and lift the bumper upward to create extra clearance for the hitch. After the hitch is fully installed and all fasteners are tightened to the required torque, retighten the bumper support.
If needed due to vehicle variation, tape a flat washer (Item 5) to the inside frame rail over the forward holes before raising the hitch into position. This provides additional support and helps align the forward attachment points.
