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.

Yes, the 4436 mounting kit is designed specifically for Toyota Tundra. It installs to the vehicle frame using carriage bolts and side brackets, and works with the 9465 or 9475 Hide-A-Goose hitch head.
The manual states that the 4436 mounting kit is intended to be used with Horizon Global manufactured mounting kits and specifically references the 9465 or 9475 Hide-A-Goose hitch. The manual does not confirm compatibility with other gooseneck hitch brands or models.
Yes. The manual specifies that the pilot hole for the Hide-A-Goose hitch must be drilled 41-1/2 inches from the rear of the bed for both short-box and long-box configurations.
The 9488 Hide-A-Goose hitch has a maximum Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) of 30,000 lbs (13,620 kg) and a maximum Tongue Weight (TW) of 7,500 lbs (3,405 kg). However, you must not exceed the lower of the hitch rating or your towing vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
Required tools are: wrenches in sizes 10mm, 12mm, 3/4 inch, 7/8 inch, and 15/16 inch; a 1/4 inch drill bit; and a drill. A torque wrench is also needed to tighten fasteners to the specified 75 ft.-lb (102 N-m).
Required tools are: a 15/16 inch wrench; drill bits in 3/16 inch and 5/8 inch sizes; a 3.5 inch hole saw; and a torque wrench to tighten 5/8 inch Grade 8 fasteners to 210 ft.-lb (285 N-m). A center punch and file are also needed.
The 4436F fastener kit includes: 2 carriage bolts 1/2-13 x 1.50 Gr5; 2 carriage bolts 1/2-13 x 1.75 Gr5; 4 hex bolts 1/2-13 x 2.00 Gr5; 8 hex nuts 1/2; 4 blocks 1/4 x 1.00 x 3.00; 8 conical toothed washers 1/2; and 4 flat washers 1/2.

Fastener kits 58320 and 58564 are also required.
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected. However, the installation involves working near the fuel pump control and vehicle wiring harness, so it is prudent to disconnect the battery before beginning work.
Before installation, carefully examine the location of fuel lines, brake lines, and electrical wiring along the vehicle frame where the rail kit installs. The manual warns that all trucks have these components located along the frame, and you must ensure they are not damaged when positioning hitch components, drilling holes, cutting sheet metal, or tightening fasteners.
Check for adequate clearance between the gooseneck trailer and the rear of the cab and the rear of the truck box before installing the hitch. This ensures the trailer will not contact the truck during turning.
Yes. The installation requires you to temporarily remove the heat shield above the exhaust using a 10mm socket (step 2) and temporarily remove the front and rear exhaust hangers (step 3). The exhaust is re-attached in step 14 after the hitch installation is complete.
After fully installing the Hide-A-Goose hitch and 4436 mounting kit, torque all 1/2-13 Gr5 fasteners to 75 ft.-lb (102 N-m) in this sequence: (a) torque the frame brackets to the frame of the vehicle, (b) torque the cross members to the frame brackets, (c) torque Hide-A-Goose hitch to cross members.
Yes. When installing the Hide-A-Goose hitch with the 4436 kit, a 1/4 inch pilot hole must be drilled in the truck bed 41-1/2 inches from the rear of the bed and centered between the wheel wells. This pilot hole is then enlarged using a hole saw to the final diameter specified in the 9465/9475 Hide-A-Goose hitch instruction sheet.
The pilot hole must be drilled 41-1/2 inches from the rear of the bed and centered between the wheel wells. This measurement applies to both short-box and long-box Toyota Tundra. A 1/4 inch pilot hole is drilled first, then enlarged with a hole saw to the final diameter specified in the 9465/9475 Hide-A-Goose instruction sheet.
Yes. A 3/16 inch pilot hole must be center-punched and drilled at the marked ball center position. After rechecking clearances, this pilot hole is enlarged to 3.5 inches using a hole saw. Additionally, four 5/8 inch holes must be drilled in the truck bed for the U-bolts, positioned in lower bed corrugations to limit the amount of U-bolt showing above the bed.
No. The manual explicitly states: "Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch." Use a drill and hole saw instead.
All 1/2-13 Gr5 fasteners must be torqued to 75 ft.-lb (102 N-m). The torque sequence is: (a) frame brackets to frame, (b) cross members to frame brackets, (c) Hide-A-Goose hitch to cross members.
All 5/8 inch Grade 8 fasteners (excluding U-bolt fasteners) must be tightened with a torque wrench to 210 ft.-lb (285 N-m).
Tighten the 5/8 inch lock nuts so that a minimum of 3 threads are showing past the nuts. Before tightening, lift the U-bolts up and down to assure smooth operation; if they do not move smoothly, enlarge the holes as necessary.
Do not store the hitch ball upside down in the head. Brake lines could be damaged. Install the Ball Blocker Plate as shown in the manual to prevent this.
Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle and wear eye protection. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. Be careful when drilling holes, cutting sheet metal, and tightening fasteners to avoid damaging fuel lines, brake lines, and electrical wiring located along the vehicle frame.
Before each tow, check the ball, hitch coupler, safety chains, and other connections for proper operation. Always make sure the ball is fully locked before towing. Connect the trailer following the coupler manufacturer's operating instructions, and slowly back the trailer to a jackknifed position while checking for adequate clearance between the gooseneck trailer and the rear of the vehicle and between the forward corners of the trailer and the cab of the truck.
After installation, with the ball in the stored position, check for clearance between the ball and truck equipment such as the differential, brake lines, and electrical lines. Measure from the axle up to the rubber bumper stop and from the ball to the nearest item. If insufficient space is present, inform the customer not to store the ball in the head when carrying heavy loads. The axle-to-rubber-bumper-stop distance should be less than the ball-to-nearest-item distance.
After system installation and before towing, connect the trailer following the coupler manufacturer's operating instructions. The coupler must be adjusted to provide about 6 inches of clearance between the bottom of the trailer nose and the top of the pickup bed sides. Slowly back the trailer to a jackknifed position while checking for adequate clearance between the gooseneck trailer and the rear of the vehicle, and between the forward corners of the trailer and the cab. Slowly jackknife the truck and trailer in the opposite direction and check the clearances to the end of the truck and the cab.
Use the magnetic cover to keep the assembly free of dirt and debris. Lubricate the hitch ball monthly or as needed with heavy grease. Lubricate the ball tube with heavy grease when the ball is installed and/or removed. Lubricate the locking pin monthly or as needed with spray-on penetrating oil. Check bolt torque monthly. Check equipment before towing for worn or damaged parts and replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
Periodically re-torque all the hitch fasteners. The manual also specifies checking bolt torque monthly as part of routine maintenance.
Keep the ball and ball sleeve well lubricated. Lubricate the hitch ball monthly or as needed with heavy grease. Lubricate the ball tube with heavy grease when the ball is installed and/or removed.
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 immediately.
