  • Wiring Recommendations for 2020 Hyundai Palisade Limited
    For your 2020 Hyundai Palisade Limited edition you will need a wiring kit to transfer the light signals to your trailer, the pre-wiring provides a plug for the trailer wiring to hook up. I recommend Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # CU94FR. It provides a 4 way flat trailer connector and hooks directly into the tow package plug on the underside of your Palisade. It is a 1 piece, or 1 end connector, however there are adapters that will allow you to have both a 7 and 4 way like your...

  • Will the Same Hitch Work on the 2025 Subaru Forester Base Model and the Wilderness Edition?
    Hello Tom, Congrats on the new 2025 Subaru Wilderness! What is your favorite new feature? I went ahead and reached out to the Subaru OEM parts website and was able to confirm that the same hitch will work for the both the 2025 Forester and the Wilderness Edition. So that means that the frame on the vehicle is the same (at least at the rear of the vehicle) even if the body is different. I know the Wilderness is raised a bit more than the base and has a wider bumper, which will help with...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness For A 2022 Chevrolet Equinox
    When it comes to installing a trailer wiring harness on your 2022 Chevrolet Equinox the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # TK67KR is the right option. The wiring has a simple plug and play installation that plugs behind the driver and passenger side tail lights. Then you will have to run the hot lead up to the car's battery. When the wiring harness is not in use I recommend The 4 Pole Mounting Bracket # 18144. This will keep your harness out of...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring For A 2025 Kia Sorento PHEV
    Hi Jerry, For your 2025 Kia Sorento PHEV you would need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C37RV for the trailer hitch. The right light kit for your Sorento is going to depend on a few factors. For models with the tow package, like you stated you have, you can install a 7-way connector like the Tekonsha # TK24FR. Regardless of the tow package you can install a 4-pole connector like the Tekonsha # 118269 (incandescent tail lights) or Curt # C99DR (LED tail lights). The 7-way is really...

  • Heavy Duty Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2014 Toyota Highlander with Full Size Spare
    I looked up the online version of your owner's manual, which states that a 2014 Toyota Highlander without a tow package and with a V6 engine, is limited to a maximum allowable gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs. The tongue weight (TW) should not exceed 9-10 percent of this, so around 200 lbs. Vehicles with a 2.7L L4 engine are limited to 1,500 lbs instead. Class III and IV trailer hitches both feature a 2 inch receiver, however class IV hitches are categorized this way because of their...

  • Class III Trailer Hitch for 2016 Subaru Outback that Does Not Require Drilling
    I do have a 2 inch hitch that is a no-drill installation for your 2016 Subaru Outback. It is the Curt # C13410. These hitches are getting very popular with Subaru owners. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. Although the instructions for Class III trailer hitches such as # 75673 for your 2016 Subaru Outback state that an access hole will need to be drilled it is possible to avoid that if you can access the inside of the frame another way. In this case it means...

  • What Hitch will Not get in the Way of My 2025 Subaru Forester Hands Free Lift Gate?
    Hello Wes, Great question! The only hitch that we have that will not interfere with the sensor at all for the 2025 Subaru Forester is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 306-X7391. If you go to the product page and it says that it doesn't fit, don't be alarmed I was able to confirm through Torklift's website that it will fit the 2025 and am having our fitguide updated. Now, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13409 will...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2020 Mazda CX-9
    The trailer hitch I recommend for a 2020 Mazda CX-9 is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76020 because it has a hidden design which means only the receiver tube is shown therefore you get a very sleek look, there is an integrated trailer connector tab which cuts down on your total list of parts, and it has the highest weight capacities available so you know it will be strong and last a lifetime. I have attached an install photo for you. If you will be towing then you...

  • How To Tell If a Ford Transit Has the Tow Package and Parts Needed To Add It
    The Ford Transit if equipped with the factory tow package would have came with both a trailer hitch and trailer connector and they would both be located directly under the rear bumper so odds are you do not have either because they are not hard to locate. The factory tow package was also not a very common option but I can provide you with everything to add this on your own at a fraction of the price. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75912 is a confirmed fit for a 2015...

    A hitch and trailer wiring can certainly be installed on a 2021 Chevrolet Traverse.

  • Does 2024 Honda Passport Rear Panel Need to be Removed or Hitch and Wiring Installation
    Hey Dennis, thanks for reaching out about the etrailer Hitch # e44AR and wiring parts (listed below)! You won't need to trim or remove any panels for the hitch or the brackets to fit on your 2024 Honda Passport. You'll need to bend the no-drill bracket to clear the rear panel and you can choose to trim it if you wish, but it won't be a necessity. - Curt Wiring # C56291 - Mounting Brackets # 18144 and # C57202

  • Trailer Towing Setup Recommendation for 2014 Buick Enclave
    You are on the right track! The Draw Tite hitch part # 75528 is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Buick Enclave as well as the trailer wiring kit # 118270. The wiring mount part # 18144 will also give you a place to mount the 4-way that bolts to the bumper. The ball mount part # C45036 that you referenced is would also work well if you need 2 inch drop. I attached a help article that details how to pick out a ball mount drop as well.

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2014 Chevy Traverse
    Since your 2014 Chevy Traverse has a hitch but no wiring it sounds like someone installed a hitch so they could use a bike rack or cargo carrier. The wiring that I recommend is the T-One # 118270 because we have found the Tekonsha wiring to be the most reliable. This says it's for the tow package but it can actually be used if you don't have the tow package either. The fuses and relays that come with this kit are used to activate the tow package. Attached are the installation instructions...

  • What Hitch and Wiring do I Need for My 2022 Toyota Highlander XSE?
    Greetings George, I understand your confusion, and I get this question a lot. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C99FR fits all models of the 2022 Toyota Highlander. So yes, it will work great for your XSE model. Sometimes the hitch will only fit one model so in that spot it will just say "XSE models" or "excluding XSE." I see that you already found the wiring to go with it the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # TK99FR will be...

  • Recommended Dual Hitch Adapter For 2017 Kia Sorento for Bike Rack and Pop-up Trailer
    Your 2017 Kia Sorento has a towing capacity of 2,000 to 5,000 lbs depending on what motor and transmission you have. I recommend checking your owner's manual to make sure you are within the manufacturer's specifications. For a trailer hitch, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75908. This will give you a 2 inch opening that will allow you to use the Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver # MPG544. This will allow you to tow your...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness For A 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander
    The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK46VR is confirmed to fit your 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander per the manufacturer. I like the T-One harness over the other harnesses because it has a more reliable powered converter box that will give you a longer running time than the others. This custom harness will plug into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side tail lights. You will have to remove the tail light assemblies to access this harness....

    The Curt Class III Hitch Receiver, part # 13534, does not include a mounting location for trailer connector brackets. (This hitch does install above the passenger side exhaust). DrawTite part # 75726 is a hitch for your Highlander that does include a mounting location for the trailer connector braceket, and this hitch also mounts above your passenger side exhaust. If you still prefer the Curt Hitch, part # 13534, we recommend mounting the 4-way bracket to the bottom of the bumper, or...
