Features to know about

Installs Without Cutting or Splicing: Plug-In Harness Design

Wiring a trailer can be tricky, but this Curt T-Connector harness keeps things clean and simple. It plugs directly into the vehicle’s factory wiring, so there’s no need to cut or splice wires. The connectors match the factory plugs, giving you a solid, weatherproof fit that’s ready to go right out of the box.

Keeps Trailer Lights in Sync: 4-Pole Flat Connection with Powered Converter

With the built-in powered converter and 4-pole flat trailer connector, the Curt T-Connector #C56309 lets your trailer’s brake lights and turn signals flash in perfect sync with the vehicle lights. It provides a consistent signal for running lights, turn signals, and brake lights so your trailer lighting always matches what your vehicle is doing.

Ready for DIY Installs: No Tow Package Needed

This harness is designed for vehicles that don’t have a factory tow package. Everything you need is built into the kit, so you can add trailer lighting capability without extra wiring or accessories. It’s straightforward enough for most DIYers to handle in an afternoon.

Clean Look and Reliable Wiring: Hidden Plug-In Setup

Once installed, the wiring stays tucked out of sight for a factory-style finish. The hidden plug-in design keeps things neat while protecting connectors from road debris and moisture. That means less hassle over time and a setup that looks like it came straight from the factory.

Excellent video how to DIY, same for instructions on how to install, fast shipping, etc.

Great product, works amazing. The hardest part of the install was running the power wire to the battery. Instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Would recommend!!

Installed this on a 2023 Corolla GR. Worked perfect, easy install.



by:

5 stars for customer service; discounted final grade because I haven't yet installed the unit but expect it to be equally superior. I asked and got rapid response to some questions about my unusual need; it was great to interact with someone with expert insight.

@Pklch That is great to hear! I am glad it has been working well for you. What are you using this harness to tow?


by:

Routing the wiring was the worst part of this kit. Other than that it has worked very well for me and I have not had any issues since install. I did some google searching to figure out the best way to mount it on my 2019 Corolla and I ended up running it through the firewall using a grommet in the driver's wheel well and back through the car under the doorsills.

@DH Glad we had the right fit for your Corolla D.H. Keeping the dielectric grease is a great way to keep a great connection. What do you mainly use the wiring for?


by:

The Barnes was not difficult to install at all! Worked great, powered the lights on my trailer behind my corolla from Los angles all the way to Atlanta. Only issue is that the blinkers were opposite of what they were supposed to be. But that was an easy fix with some wire strippers and butt connectors



by:

Worked flawlessly! 2019 Corolla hatch, installed and tested, took a minute to run power supply from battery but the connection to rear lighting was perfect. Thanks for making quality products!



by:

Great price, fast shipping, and easy to install. Directions were clear and easy to follow.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring For A 2024 Toyota Corolla SE Hatchback
    Hey Fred, For a 2023 Toyota Corolla Hatchback you'd be able to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11567 that you were already looking at. From there you would want to measure the distance from the bottom of the trailer coupler to the top of the inside of the trailer hitch receiver to see what kind of rise you'd need to keep the trailer level while towing. Once we know what rise you'll need we can find the right ball mount. You'll also want to pick up the Curt T-Connector Vehicle...

  • Will Curt T-Connector Allow Trailer Lights To Be Synchronized With Vehicle Lights?
    Hey Kevin, thanks for reaching out. The Curt T-Connector # C56309 will allow the trailer lights to flash at the same time as the vehicle lights. So the brake lights and turn signals on the trailer will be synchronized with the vehicle lights. This will be the case for any custom fit wiring harness. The Curt # C56309 is custom fit for the following vehicles: 2019 - 2022 Toyota Corolla Hatchback 2019 - 2023 Toyota Corolla Hatchback 2017 - 2018 Toyota Corolla iM 2017 - 2018 Toyota Corolla...

  • Trailer Hitch Installation for 2022 Toyota Corolla Hatchback
    We don't have footage of the Curt # C11567 Class I hitch being installed on a 2022 Corolla hatchback but we do have a video of it being installed on a 2020 model, see the link. I've spoke with my contact in the engineering department at Curt, who tells me that the procedure for installing the hitch on a 2022 model would be the same as the 2020 model shown in the linked video. If you'll also be using the hitch for light duty towing, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # C56309,...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Toyota Corolla im
    The Curt trailer hitch part # C11420 has a 2,000 lb trailer towing capacity which would easily be enough capacity for a stand up jet ski or dirt bike since those vehicles and the trailer associated with them are pretty small and lightweight. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. You would want to check the owners manual of the vehicle to be sure it has the capacity for the trailer as well. The overall towing capacity for a vehicle is that of the lowest rated...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2020 Toyota Corolla XSE Hatchback
    I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11567 for your 2020 Toyota Corolla XSE hatchback. This is confirmed to fit your hatchback while the Curt # C34UR you were looking at fits the sedan models. I have also included an image below of the # C11567 installed on the XSE trim so you have the reassurance of knowing it fits. I prefer the Curt over others for your vehicle as the welded portion of the receiver is made in the USA. You will want to install the Curt T-Connector Vehicle...

  • How To Carry Motorcycle on 2016 Scion iM
    The trailer hitch options for a 2016 Scion iM like the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24952 max out at 2,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight. If the hitch mounted carrier you want to use exceeds the above tongue weight capacity you will need to transport said item on a trailer using the following: Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # C56309 Draw-Tite Drawbar part # 3593 Hitch Ball part # 19256 or part #...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2016 Scion iM
    The trailer hitch we offer for your iM is the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C11420. This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. This will work great for light towing. Curt requires a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 to be used for any non-trailer items used in the trailer hitch. If you need a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball I recommend the Euro style drawbar, part # C45571 and for a 2-inch you can use part # C45572. for a trailer wiring harness you can use part # C56309.

  • Can Curt Trailer Hitch C11567 Be Used To Tow 589lb Trailer W/ 2020 Toyota Corolla Hatchback SE?
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11567 you were looking at for your 2020 Toyota Corolla Hatchback SE has a 200lb tongue weight rating and a 2000lb trailer weight rating so in that regards the hitch will not have any problems with your 589lb trailer.

Regarding sway, that comes down...

  • Can the Curt Trailer Hitch Handle a 1,000 Pound Trailer Towed With a 2021 Corolla Hatchback
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11567 has a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs and tongue weight of 200 lbs. This means it will be able to handle towing your 1,000 lb trailer without any issues. I would also make sure to consult the owner's manual so you know the towing capacity of your vehicle. You will be limited by whichever is lower, the vehicle or hitch capacity. Since you will be towing a trailer you will also need wiring, the Vehicle Wiring...
