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 Trailer Hitch for 05-23 Toyota Tacoma (Part #DT65070) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The 65070 is designed for 2005-Current Toyota Tacoma models. However, the manual notes that application years and trim levels vary, so visit the Cequent website to confirm fitment for your specific year and trim before purchasing.
The maximum winch line pull is 9,000 lb (4,086 kg). However, you must not exceed the lower of your towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or this limit. Additionally, cargo capacity is limited to 500 LB (227 kg) or your truck's front Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR), whichever is lower.
You will need: a ratchet, a torque wrench, safety glasses, 17 mm and 12 mm sockets, a 3/4" socket, a socket extension, and tin snips. A 10 mm socket is also required for 2016 and newer models to remove the lower air dam.
The manual does not mention battery disconnection as a requirement for installation.
No drilling is required. The hitch uses existing holes in the vehicle frame and bumper beam. However, 2016 and newer models require trimming of the lower splash guard with tin snips to allow clearance for the hitch side bracket.
Yes. 2016 and newer models require trimming of the lower portion of the splash guard as needed to allow clearance for the hitch side bracket. Use tin snips to perform this trimming. You must also remove the lower air dam and temporarily pull back the inner splash guard to access the mounting points.
Only if present. If your 2016 or newer Tacoma has a tow loop, remove it by removing the M12 bolts with a 17 mm socket before installing the hitch. Return the tow loop to the owner.
Yes. 2016 and newer models require removal of the lower air dam by removing 11 fasteners with a 10 mm socket. Return the air dam to the owner after removal.
Only if present. The manual states to remove the skid shield (if present) by removing 4 M8 bolts to ease access to the inside of the vehicle frame. The skid shield must be reinstalled after hitch installation is complete.
All 1/2" fasteners must be tightened with a torque wrench to 75 Lb.-Ft. (102 N·M). Tighten in this sequence: first the center section to the side plates, then the strap to the bumper beam, then the side plates to the frame.
Tighten in this order: (1) center section to side plates, (2) strap to bumper beam, (3) side plates to frame. All 1/2" fasteners must be tightened to 75 Lb.-Ft. (102 N·M) using a torque wrench.
The fastener kit (65070F) includes: (2) carriage bolts ½-13 x 1.50 GR5, (2) spacers .250 x 1.0 x 2.0, (6) conical washers ½", (4) spacers .250 x 1.50 x 3.00, (4) bolts ½-13 x 4.00 GR5, (8) carriage bolts ½-13 x 1.25 GR5, (8) lock washers ½", and (14) hex nuts ½-13.
No. The factory M12 bolts are removed from the bumper beam and the end caps are returned to the customer. The hitch uses new 1.50" carriage bolts (½-13 x 1.50 GR5) and spacers in those locations instead.
No. The factory M12 bolts are removed from the frame rails. The hitch uses new 4.00" bolts (½-13 x 4.00 GR5) with spacers installed in the existing frame holes instead.
Leave fasteners loose during assembly. Install the 4.00" bolts in the frame rails finger tight with conical washers and hex nuts. Loosely attach the center section to the side brackets using 1.25" carriage bolts, lock washers, and hex nuts. Only after all components are positioned should you tighten all fasteners to 75 Lb.-Ft. (102 N·M) in the specified sequence.
The conical washers are placed on the 4.00" bolts that attach the side brackets to the frame rails. The teeth side of the conical washer must face toward the hitch.
The teeth side of the conical washer must face toward the hitch (toward the center section). This is shown in Figure 3 of the installation manual.
Yes. Remove plastic covers from both the inside and outside of the frame rails on both sides at the bolt locations. This provides access for installing the 4.00" bolts and spacers.
Check that all fasteners are tight and the hitch is securely mounted to the vehicle. Verify that the ball is properly tightened. The manual recommends checking the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball remain properly tightened.
Do not exceed 500 LB (227 kg) or your truck's front Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR), whichever is lower.
No. The manual explicitly states: DO NOT cut, weld or modify this receiver. Doing so may compromise the structural integrity and safety of the hitch.
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.
Load the trailer heavier in front. This helps maintain proper weight distribution and stability while towing.
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.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. The manual does not specify an exact interval, but recommends periodic checks.
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 using a damaged hitch.
