Today we're going to review part number C58002. This is the Curt Easy Mount Bracket for a 4 or 5-way flat trailer connector on a 1 1/4 -inch hitch. This electrical bracket will let you mount your trailer connector to your hitch quickly and easily. It does hold a 4-way or a 5-way flat connector. I do have an example here of a vehicle end 4-way connector, and basically it would insert right in there and then you tighten it down and it holds it into place. This is designed to fit on a 1 1/4inch hitch receiver.
It is made of a sturdy steel construction which is very long-lasting, has a black powder coat finish all the way around which will help resist corrosion. The notch design right here on the side will allow for easy access to the pin and clip or a hitch lock. It is a fast simple no-drill installation. I'm going to give you an idea here. We got a 1 1/4 inch hitch receiver right here with the collar.
Basically, this bracket will attach around that collar so you just put it on there, take these included long carriage bolts, drop one through on one side, take the lock nut, go ahead and tighten that down, and take the other one, drop it on the other side and its all the way through. Go ahead and put the lock nut on that. Now these lock nuts I can only finger tighten them what you'll want to do once you get them on there is go ahead and finish tightening them down. It will lock it into place and then hold that bracket securely on to the 1 1/4 inch hitch. Basically then this is that 4-way vehicle end connector.
You just stick that instead of hanging down and possibly dragging and getting damaged just hanging at the back of your vehicle just go ahead and insert that in between these two parts and then tighten the two smaller carriage bolts down and you can see that will hold that firmly into place right next to your hitch receiver opening. That should do it for the review on part number C58002 the Curt Easy Mount Bracket for a 4 or 5-way flat trailer connector for a 1 -inch hitch.

Attach this electrical bracket to your 1-1/4" trailer hitch to make mounting your trailer connector (sold separately) fast and easy. Use with either a 4-way or 5-way flat connector. No drilling required.I purchased this Curt Easy Mount bracket to compliment my recently installed Curt C11402 trailer hitch receiver. There aren’t many places where a trailer connector can be mounted on the rear of my 2020 Kia Optima SX. This mounting bracket solved the problem. I performed some modification to the mount bracket in order to use a 6-way round trailer connector for the 1 1/4" receiver bracket. Now I can utilize either my car or motorcycle trike to haul the small Aspen pop-up camper. There was some concern about lighting system compatibility between the trailer's LED lights and car wiring but electrical t-taps directly to the existing brake/turn and marker light system did prove to work properly. The only downside to this bracket is it doesn’t clamp tight on the hitch drawbar receiver! I had to make spacers for this Curt bracket to clamp securely onto the Curt hitch receiver! Given the time to customize this to my needs, I’m happy with the look and function of the Curt bracket.
Worked great on my 2022 Civic Sport Hatchback. Unlike the previous generation (2021 and older) you DO NOT have to trim the internal metal bumper for clearance of the outer plastic bumper. Trimming the lower diffuser was pretty easy and only required a 3-1/4 in cut in depth and about 2-1/4 in width (If you want the gaps super tight). Remember to tape off the panels before you get started to prevent chips and paint scratches and you'll be set.
Holds trailer plug in just fine. No iss ues.
Product seems like will work. Somebody else complained about appearance, but I saw no issue when first installed. To prevent movement bracket had to be pretty tight. This caused a little bowing on the front. A few taps with a rubber mallet fixed the issue.
Nuts are 5/16". Don't recall seeing this in the instructions.
Mounted it with the 4-way connector up on the driver side. Have since removed the bracket as found it interfered with installation of the bolt required to mount my bicycle rack to the hitch.
I have since decided may not need trailer wiring as only plan on using the hitch for the bikes. If do, will turn the bracket over & mount on the passenger side. This should not interfere with the bolt installation.
Product works as described by provider. Easy to install and meets my need.
Functions as described - a little concerned that it may be subject to damage during backing, but so far no issues.
Very sturdy product. Works as advertised to hold your plug and keep it from dragging on the road.
Easy instal, arrived quickly, very plea sed.
