Features to know about

Installs Without Cutting or Splicing: Plug-In T-Connector

Wiring a trailer usually means tapping into factory wires, but this harness skips all that. The Curt T-Connector plugs directly into existing tail light connectors to create a 4-pole flat trailer plug. No splicing or guessing which wire does what—just click it in place and it’s ready to use.

Powered Converter Protects Vehicle Electronics: Reliable Trailer Lighting

The built-in powered converter keeps the vehicle’s electrical system isolated from the trailer wiring. That means no overloading the factory circuits when you hook up trailer lights. It delivers steady, clean power for running lights, turn signals, and brake lights every time you tow.

Clean Install Using Factory Access Points: Hidden, Secure Wiring

This harness routes through existing factory grommets and trim, so the wiring stays protected and out of sight. No drilling or exposed sections hanging under the bumper. The result is a neat, factory-style install that looks like it came that way from new.

4-Flat Connector Covers the Basics: Ready for Most Trailers

The 4-pole flat connector provides all the essential light functions—running, turn, and brake signals—so your trailer stays visible and legal on the road. It’s the common setup for small utility trailers, boat trailers, or campers with standard lighting systems.

service and speedy replies are the beat of all!

E-trailer hitches come fast! And at a great price!!



by:

I was able to install this myself due to simple, clear instructions. It's components are made up of quality materials, are well packaged, and one year later it still functions as intended.

I have no problem endorsing this and would definitely buy again. It turned a headache into a manageable task!



by:

Received hitch and wire harness a day ahead of schedule, packed in same box and arrived undamaged.



by:

Outstanding, the ease of installing and adaptation to design of car was superb, a true credit to your Engineering design staff. My son and I order all of our needs from etrailer, we have never had any issues and the designs are outstanding.



by:

The product for the LaCross came complete with fused block for power to the turn signal module. Our trailer (6 x 8) is equipped with LED lighting for better function and visibility.

Highly recommend the product, but the service and follow up from etrailer is the best on the web.

Thank you!



by:

Great product. I installed this on a 2015 Buick Lacrosse (Dual exhaust). The dual exhaust did not effect installation. The reason I gave 4 stars is because it was very very very hard to feed the connector that plugs into the rear car lights between the car and the body. I had to pry the body of the car away with a screw driver to allow enough room to sneak the connector up. Just pointing it out, does not make the installation immpossible, just a bit harder. I recommend this product for a 2015 Buick Lacrosse because that is the only vehicle installation I have done.



by:

Worked as designed. I do a lot of my clients work with parts and supplies from etrailer. Great company and great products. Pay attention to the install video. They warn you about how tight the application is fishing up the harness. The video gave me the heads up and the trick to make it work. Thanks again.



by:

The trailer hitch and electrical kit I ordered arrived in a timely manner. The install was pretty easy and although I have not used it, seems to be a great buy. Thank you for the instructional videos!



by:

I am very satisfied with my trailer hitch and wiring purchased from etrailer for my 2011 Buick LaCrosse.



by:

Too complicated. A wiring harness that links to a rear tail light is much simpler. Aside from that the wiring works as it's supposed to, but the connector is stored in the trunk of the car until needed.
The Cort hitch works fine on the Buick Lacrosse, but will drag when entering or leaving a steep driveway. I don't think Buick intended for this car to be fitted with a hitch.



by:

Went together well. Running the power from the battery was a pain. If I had a lift, it would have been easier.

it has performed as expected each time that I have used it. Easy install hitch and wiring.



by:

I think the hitch receiver and the pigtail wiring are both of high quality, but you really need to package better for shipping. The metal parts were not secured in the box and after one end of the box and then the other a large hole appeared in one end and could have easily lost parts,especially the bag of bolts and nuts.

  • Recommended Hitch for 2011 Buick LaCrosse CXL Towing U-Haul Trailer
    Hi Mary! You will need a hitch, wiring, and ball mount to tow a U-Haul trailer with your 2011 Buick LaCrosse CXL. I recommend the following: -Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12115 -Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 56098 -etrailer Ball Mount w/ Pre-Torqued 2" Ball # e47DR The Curt Hitch is a Class II hitch with a bolt-on installation and a 1-1/4" receiver.

  • Trailer Taillight Wiring Harness for 2011 Saab 9-5
    It's possible that the Curt # 56098 for the 2011 Buick LaCrosse would work on your Saab 9-5, but Curt hasn't tested it. In photos, it appears that the taillight assemblies on both vehicles are pretty similar. I'd recommend accessing the connection points where the taillight assemblies plug into the vehcile's taillight harness as shown in the linked video. Compare the connectors for the # 56098 (see photo) to those on your vehicle. If they're identical, the Curt # 56098 would likely work...

  • Tips for Routing a Power Wire from the Battery to Trunk for Trailer Wiring on a 2011 Buick Lacrosse
    There are a few methods that people use when they need to run a power wire from the vehicle battery to the rear of the vehicle. One method involves routing the wire as much as possible through the frame. What you would need to do first is determine if the frame has a hole in which a wire can be run and if there is space enough for it. You would need a long rigid and skinny object, like a coat hanger to run through the frame, tie off the wire to it, and then pull it back through. This...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2011 Buick LaCrosse CXL
    Curt trailer hitch # C12115 has a capacity of 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 350 pounds tongue weight. But I checked the owner's manual online for your 2011 Buick LaCrosse and found that it has a towing capacity of 1,000 pounds so you are limited to that even though the hitch is rated higher. If the gross trailer weight is under 1,000 pounds then you can pull it with your LaCrosse. A 17 foot boat and trailer is likely heavier than that though. The recommended ball mount for this...

  • Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Compatibility With a 2015 Buick LaCrosse With Dual Exhaust
    You will not have any issues mounting the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12115 on your 2015 Buick LaCrosse with the dual exhaust. Since this receiver fits a large selection of Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicles the installation notes will cover all the different vehicles but some steps like lowering the exhaust will not always be necessary. For your LaCrosse I do not see any need to lower the exhaust. Curt recommends using their Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap # 18050 for any hitch mounted...

  • Trailer Hitch For A 2013 Buick Lacrosse
    Hello Gregg. We do offer a trailer hitch for your 2013 Buick Lacrosse, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12115. This is a class 2 hitch, it has a 1-1/4" receiver and is rated for towing up to 3,500 lbs or 350 lbs of tongue weight. So, more than enough for a light boat and trailer. I also recommend that you get the Curt T-Connector # 56098 which will definitely be the most convenient wiring option for your Buick. You will also need a ball mount such as part # 36065 as well as a 1-7/8" ball...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2015 Buick Lacrosse FWD
    The Draw-Tite Class II # 36538 or Curt # C12115 are a custom fit for your 2015 Buick Lacrosse FWD. The specific Draw-Tite hitch receiver you referenced will not fit your 2015 Buick Lacrosse FWD. With either option, if you will be towing a trailer you will additionally need a ball mount. I recommend # 36061 which comes with the pin and clip. You will still need a hitch ball like # 19258 for a 2 inch coupler or # 19257 for a 1-7/8 inch coupler. Then the wiring you will need for your hitch...

  • Will CURT Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12115 Fit 2012 Buick LaCrosse
    From the information I was able to obtain, the item you selected, CURT Trailer Hitch, part # C12115, will fit your 2012 Buick Lacrosse. The wiring you referenced, CURT Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, part # 56098, is the correct wiring kit for your vehicle. For a ball mount use # C45017. To complete your towing setup, you will either need a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball, part # 19256, or 2 inch hitch ball, part # 19258, depending on the size of your trailer coupler.

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2011 Buick Lacrosse CXS
    Some companies prefer to be more cautious with their product ratings than others. Curt requires the use of stabilization straps, # 18050, on all of their Class I and II trailer hitches, regardless of tongue weight capacity, in accordance with their warranty requirements. The Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch trailer hitches do not require a strap, but a strap can still be used and would not be a bad idea in any application using a larger bike rack. I would recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch, #...
