Features to know about

Installs Cleanly Without Splicing: Plug-In T-Connector

Wiring a trailer can be a pain if you have to cut into factory wiring, but this harness skips that. The Curt T-Connector plugs directly into your vehicle’s existing tail light connectors to give you a 4-flat trailer connection. No cutting, no wire tracing—just plug it in and you’re ready to go for running lights, turn signals, and brake lights.

Protects Vehicle Electronics: Powered Converter Design

Modern vehicles use sensitive wiring systems, so Curt includes a powered converter that draws power directly from the battery instead of the tail light circuits. The included power wire and fuse run up to the engine bay and connect to the positive battery terminal. That keeps the vehicle’s lighting system isolated from trailer load, preventing blown fuses or feedback through the wiring.

Ready for Basic Trailer Lighting: 4-Flat Connector Output

The 4-flat connector is the standard hookup for most small and midsize trailers. It handles the essentials—running lights, left and right turn signals, and brake lights—while staying simple and compact. It’s also easy to test or replace if needed down the road.

Quick DIY Install: Built for Vehicles Without a Factory Tow Package

Even if your vehicle didn’t come with a tow package, this harness makes it straightforward to add one. The plug-and-lead design connects behind the tail lights and runs cleanly through existing panels or grommets for a neat finish. Most folks can have it installed and working with basic tools in an afternoon.

Perfect fit



by:

Easy install, worked great!



by:

Plug and play was easy,hardest part was running a power wire from switched ignition feed



by:

My order arrived within 2 day. This product came with the instructions that were very easy to understand and the installation was as simple as the instructions showed . I will order again if I ever need anything else.



by:

Everything was easy except running the power wire to the front battery and the self-adhesive pad wouldn't stick.(dried out). I used some loctite power grab. Instructions were a little vague too. Wish they had a video like for my Volt.



by:

The hitch and the wiring harness both fit perfect with no modifications necessary. The instructions were very clear and straightforward. I would defiantly recommend this setup.



by:

For the most part a very painless installation. Very clear instructions. Simple connections at the rear of the vehicle. Only problematic thing was running the main power from the front of the car to the back and even that was readily facilitated by the CONDUIT that is on the underside of the Veloster. The tricky part will be the actual positioning of the connection where you attach to the trailer connector. Nothing to do with the design of the system but of the vehicle itself. The center exhaust on the Veloster kind of makes for a very hot hitch for sure!



by:

2/9/17 I had my mechanics put it on for me they said the trailer hitch went on fairly easy but the wire harness was a bear took longer to put the wiring harness on the trailer hitch. Still have to get the wiring harness into the trunk it may take a little time also got high hopes successful future

    Starting with the trailer hitch, the Curt Class I Round Tube Receiver Hitch # C11254 that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2016 Hyundai Veloster and will work well. This Class I hitch will provide you with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and features a towing capacity of 1,000 pounds.

  • Compatibility of Yakima Bowdown and Thule Hull-a-Port Kayak Carriers on Roof Rack of 2013 Veloster
    You are correct that the short curved roof line on your 2013 Hyundai Veloster poses a challenge to fitting both roof racks and some roof-mount accessories such as your Yakima Bowdown and Thule Hull-a-Port kayak carriers, as well as other items such as cargo boxes. Also, operation of the rear hatch and optional glass sun roof may be interfered with by either a roof rack itself or by certain accessory items installed on it. I suggest that your first step be a confirmation with your local...

    With such a light trailer you'd probably be okay, but be aware that in the owner's manual, Hyundai states that towing a trailer with the 2013 Veloster isn't recommended. If you decide to tow the trailer, you'll need the following: Class I trailer hitch, part # C11254 Trailer wiring harness w/ 4-pole trailer connector, part # C56153 Ball mount, part # C45521 Trailer ball, part # A-80 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # A-82 for a 2 inch ball Hitch pin and clip, part # PC2 To see a hitch install...

  • Trailer Hitch Fit for 2015 Hyundai Veloster Turbo
    Good question. You can tow with a vehicle up to whatever trailer weight its manufacturer says you can. Your owner's manual should indicate towing capacity. I checked an online edition of the manual and towing the car when it is disabled is covered starting on page 6-27 but there is no mention made to trailer towing. You will want to check the printed manual supplied with the car to confirm if it can tow and if so how much trailer weight. Sometimes a hitch that is made for a given car...

  • Tow Bar Wiring Recommendation for 2016 Hyundai Veloster
    Since trailer wiring is not reversible to allow it to be used in a flat towing setup you'd have to go with tow bar wiring that does fit your 2016 Hyundai Veloster. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your...

    The Curt Trailer hitch part # C11254 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Hyundai Veloster and has the towing capacities of 1,000 lbs total trailer weight and 100 lbs tongue weight. That means a trailer that you want to tow would need to be pretty lightweight. You also would need to check the owners manual of your vehicle for the same capacities and be sure to stay under the lowest rated component in your setup. For a ball mount you would want the part # C45572 for a 2...

  • Does Curt C56153 T-Connector Have Provision for Reverse Lamps on 2016 Hyundai Veloster
    The Curt # C56153 T-Connector does include a power wire and fuse that would need to be run under the vehicle to the engine compartment so it can connect to the positive battery terminal. Unfortunately, there isn't a provision for running the reverse lamp circuit through the converter. That connection would need to be made separately by tapping into the reverse lamp circuit.
