Regardless of how far youre planning to travel, be it across town or across the country, youll need to be sure you have your safety chains from Draw-Tite securely in place. Safety chains - which are required by law - are usually link chains that connect the rear of your tow vehicle to the front of your trailer. As their name states, these chains are a safety measure when towing, adding an extra layer of connection protection in case your trailer should become uncoupled from your towing setup. With Draw-Tite safety chains, you can tow with confidence, knowing your towing setup is protected against the what ifs.

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 kit includes two 72-inch safety chains and two 5/16-inch quick links. These components are used to connect the trailer to the hitch chain bracket.
The kit is designed for trailers and hitches with a chain bracket. It complies with New York V.E.S.C. Regulation V-5 and SAE J684 standards. Verify that your trailer has an attachment point for the safety chain and that your hitch has a chain bracket before purchasing.
1. Connect one end of each safety chain to the trailer. 2. Cross both chains under the coupler. 3. Loop the chains through the chain bracket on the hitch. 4. Connect the free ends of the chains using the 5/16-inch quick links provided. 5. Tighten the hex nut on each quick link. Allow only enough slack in the chains to permit the trailer to turn; do not connect the quick links directly to the hitch chain bracket.
The two safety chains must pass under the trailer coupler (the coupling mechanism that connects to the hitch ball) and then be routed to the hitch chain bracket. This crossing pattern provides redundancy: if one chain fails, the other will still restrain the trailer. The chains are then looped through the chain bracket and secured with quick links.
Allow only enough slack to permit the trailer to turn. Excessive slack reduces the effectiveness of the safety chains in restraining the trailer if the coupler becomes disconnected. The chains should be taut but not so tight that they restrict steering.
No. Do not connect the quick links directly to the hitch chain bracket. The chains must be looped through the chain bracket first, and then the quick links are used to connect the free ends of the chains together. This looping method distributes the load and provides proper restraint.
The quick links are 5/16 inch in diameter. Two quick links are provided with the kit.
Each safety chain is 72 inches long. Two chains are provided with the kit.
Check the hitch frequently, making sure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. While the manual does not specify an exact interval, regular inspection before each towing trip is recommended to ensure the chains are secure and not damaged.
A hitch or ball which has been damaged should be removed and replaced immediately. Do not attempt to repair a damaged hitch or ball. Damaged safety chains should also be replaced. Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle and wear eye protection.
Wear eye protection when installing the kit. Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. If the hitch is removed during installation, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes.
After installation, verify that all fasteners are properly tightened, including the hex nuts on the quick links. Check that the hitch ball is properly tightened. Ensure the chains are looped correctly through the chain bracket and that the quick links are secure. Confirm that the chains have only enough slack to permit turning and are not excessively loose.
The kit fits trailers and hitches with a chain bracket and complies with SAE J684 and New York V.E.S.C. standards. Verify your trailer has an attachment point and your hitch has a chain bracket.
After connecting the free ends of the chains using the 5/16-inch quick links, tighten the hex nut on each quick link by hand or with a wrench until snug. Do not over-tighten.
Allow only enough slack to permit turning. Do not connect quick links directly to the hitch chain bracket. Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened.
