Expert Answers about Curt

  • Suggestions for the Best Hitch To Carry 2 Bikes on a 2009 Nissan Altima Hybrid Sedan
  • I recommend using the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch, item # 11352, over the Draw-Tite Class I Sportframe Trailer Hitch, item # 24796, on the 2009 Nissan Altima Hybrid, because the Curt hitch uses existing holes in the vehicles frame rail to install the hitch and does not require drilling into the bottom of the vehicles trunk pan. With the Curt hitch, drilling is required but you do not have to drill into the inside of the vehicle trunk which would leave the potential for water to enter into the tru

The other two bolts attach the hitch to the bumper support. I will provide a link to the install instructions for your review.

  • The installation instructions for the Curt PWM Powered Converter, item # 56200, are available on line and I have provided a linked to them. When installing this wiring harness on your Mini Cooper, you will need to identify wires behind the tail lights on your vehicle with a circuit tester, item # 3808 if needed. Attach the yellow wire to the left turn signal, the red wire to the stop/tail light signal and the white wire to ground on the left side of the vehicle, next attach the green wire to

  • Is there Any Trimming of the Bumper Required for Curt Hitch 11020 on a 2008 Smart ForTwo
  • When installing Curt hitch, # 11020, the body on your 2008 Smart ForTwo, like the bumper and fascia, will not have to be trimmed or modified for this hitch. I have included a link to the instructions below. Please note that this hitch will not fit Brabus models. The standard for trailer hitches is not DOT, but various other agencies, among them, the SAE J684 standards and V5 ratings, are two that Curt adheres to. I spoke with my contact at Curt to be certain and he did state that their hitche

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2010 Toyota Corolla Towing Trailer with LED Tail Lights
  • Yes, the Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # 55542 that you referenced would work on your 2010 Toyota Corolla and work well with the LED tail lights of your trailer. LED tail lights draw considerably less than incandescent bulbs so they should work well with the # 55542 since this harness has a 3 amp per circuit limit for the stop/turn lights and 7.5 amp limit per circuit for the running light circuit. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product also.

  • How do Determine Ground Clearance for Curt Class I Trailer Hitch # C11372 on a 2008 Lexus IS 350
  • I do have some information that will help us determine the ground clearance you can expect with the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch, # C11372, on your 2008 Lexus IS 350, however, we have not had the chance to install this hitch on that vehicle yet, so we do not have an exact measurement. I can tell you that the overall height of this hitch is 9-3/4 inches (see photos). If you measure from the bottom of your vehicle frame rails, just above the muffler, 9-3/4 inches toward the ground, you will have

  • Parts Needed to Install a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2006 Jeep Commander
  • For a 2006 Jeep Commander that did not come with a factory installed 7-Way trailer connector, you will need a few items to install a trailer brake controller. First, if your Commander does not already have a 4-Way, you will start by installing one using # 118408. I have included a video showing a typical installation for you. Then you would need a 4 and 7-Way installation kit # ETBC7. This will provide the 7-Way and the wiring and accessories needed to install a brake controller. I have inclu

  • Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter for a 2000 Ford F-250 with a B and W Turnover Ball Gooseneck Hitch
  • If the B and W gooseneck trailer hitch in your 2000 Ford F-250 is the square shank turnover ball hitch then you would need to use the Curt X5, # 16310. The other X5 that you reference is for Curt gooseneck hitches. You can use the X5 with a slider 5th wheel trailer hitch. For the most amount of travel I recommend the Reese slider hitch # RP30083. It has 12 inches of travel and that should help tremendously with making tight turns when towing your 5th wheel trailer. I have included a link to a

  • Under Hood Connections Required to Make a Brake Controller Functional on a 2007 Chevy Suburban
  • There are two wires under the hood of your 2007 Chevy Suburban that will need to be connected before your 7-way is totally functional. One of the connections is for the 12 volt power wire circuit and the other is power supply for the brake controller. It sounds like you have not made these connections yet and that is the problem you are experiencing. Check out the FAQ article I attached that details exactly how these connections are made.

  • Availability of Aftermarket Hitch for 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek that Passes Thru Knockout in Bumper
  • Curt and Draw-Tite are the only aftermarket hitch manufacturers we deal with that currently offer a hitch for your Crosstrek, and as you mention, the receiver tube actually sits below the bumper fascia instead of passing through that knock-out. The knock-out you describe is where the OEM Subaru hitch would pass through, and unfortunately other than the OEM hitch, I am unaware of any other manufacturer that offers a hitch that would pass through the knock-out.

This wiring harness was not designed to connect to a specific box or connector on any particular vehicle. You should be able to access the tail light circuits on your 2013 Infiniti JX35 either directly behind the tail light assemblies, or you may be able to find the behind the trim panels in the rear cargo area on the driver and passenger side of the ve

  • Why Does Curt Exclude the Front Mount Hitch # C31017 For a 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 Laramie
  • I spoke with my technical contact at Curt referencing the front hitch # C31017 and he gave me the following reasons why Curt states that this hitch will not fit your 2005 Dodge 3500 Laramie. The manufacturing of the 3500 Laramie is physically slightly different than the other Dodge Ram trucks with reference to how aftermarket products can mount. With this difference the Laramie does not have a standard fit for some aftermarket products. Because the Laramie has a completely different bumper,

  • Compatibility of Curt T-Connector for 2006 Acura MDX with Wishbone Trailer Connector on Trailer
  • If your trailer uses a 4-pin connector that has five wires leading to it, your trailer uses what is called a wishbone harness. The running light circuit separates at the connector (rather than separating further down the line) with one leg running down each side of the trailer. The Curt T-Connector # C55336 for the Acura MDX will work great with this type of trailer connector, as long as it is indeed a 4-pin connector. No adapter will be necessary.

  • After reviewing the notes on your order I see that you now have the correct Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness specifically fit for your 2012 Hyundai Tuscon, # 56101. The Curt T-Connector # C55528 that you referenced is considered a fit for Hyundai Tuscons from 2005-2009. After discussing the difficulties that you are describing with both Curt and fellow experts, it is not uncommon that the taillights of your vehicle are difficult to remove.

These are basically the same item for your truck made by different manufacturers.

There is one thing you will want to keep in mind when installing either of these harnesses, do not forget to install the relays and fuses. T

  • Power to Curt 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness on a 2011 Ford Escape when Turned Off
  • This is a common occurrence on some Curt trailer wiring harnesses such as # C56160. Normally you would not notice unless the trailer was connected and it had LED lights. Then you may get a faint glow out of the lights. Having power to the 4-Way is not going to hurt anything or run down the battery unless there is something plugged in drawing the power. Just to be on the safe side make sure the ground is connected to a clean bare metal surface and that all the connections to the tail light wir

If yours does not have the factory tow package that could be the issue. There could also be some fuses or relays related to the factory tow package wiring, if you have it, that are missing or blown. On some vehicles, power can get through if there is a relay missing but the full power cannot go through the converter until said relay is replaced. Use the vehicle o

  • Do Trailer Hitch Locks and Hitch Pins have a Capacity
  • Hitch locks and pins do not have an official capacity because they are capable of weights way beyond what a hitch or vehicle can handle. In other words the hitch or vehicle would fail long before the pin or lock. I have included a link to all of the hitch locks that we carry. Most Class V trailer hitches have a 2-1/2 inch receiver and would use a lock like # RH5-XL. Curt does have some Class V rated hitches with 2 inch receivers like # C15318 that you have referenced.
