Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Avalanche, Chevy Suburban, Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon and GMC Yukon XL (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 6,000 lbs. GTW and 600 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 10,000 lbs. WD and 1,000 lbs. WDTW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.
Stress is the last thing you should feel when towing a trailer -- whether you're hauling your RV to that favorite camping destination, your ATVs up to the hunting grounds or your fishing boat to the new hidden hotspot. At CURT, we think your towing equipment should add to the enjoyment of your experience, not detract from it. CURT custom wiring connectors are the easiest way to outfit your vehicle with a CURT trailer wiring connection. They are built with some of the most advanced technology in the industry, and each one is custom-fitted to work with a specific make and model. Some automotive manufacturers install a special socket on the vehicle to be used for vehicle-to-trailer wiring. Though this special socket is not equipped on every vehicle, a CURT custom wiring connector (also called a T-connector) utilizes the socket for simple, stress-free installation. Rather than requiring you to cut, splice and solder into your vehicle's wiring system, the custom wiring connector uses a single OEM-compatible plug and instantly provides a standard vehicle-to-trailer wiring connection, typically in the form a 4-way flat. All CURT custom wiring connectors are made vehicle-specific for the easiest possible installation and the best fit. This particular connector provides a 4-way flat socket while retaining use of the existing OEM socket. It is designed to be a custom wiring option for a variety of vehicles (see application info to verify fitment with your vehicle). It comes with a dust cover to keep the connector socket clean when not in use.

The 55384 is a T-connector that adds trailer wiring capability to vehicles. It connects to the vehicle's existing wiring harness to provide a 7-way connector for trailer lights and accessories. The product comes with a protective cap and uses locking tabs to ensure secure connections.
Yes. You must disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation. After disconnecting, fasten the wire down and away from the battery. Reconnect the negative battery terminal only after the T-connector installation is complete.
The location depends on whether your vehicle has a factory 7-way connector. For vehicles without a factory 7-way, access the wiring harness behind the driver's side rear bumper (position T3). For vehicles with a factory 7-way, locate it behind the center of the rear bumper (position T4). The manual includes a wiring location guide with diagrams showing these positions.
For vehicles without a factory 7-way: Insert the T-connector housing directly into the vehicle's wiring harness housing at position T3 (behind driver's side rear bumper), then place the protective cap on the remaining plug end. For vehicles with a factory 7-way: Separate the factory socket from the 7-way connector at position T4 (behind center of rear bumper), then insert the T-connector between the factory housing and the 7-way housing. In both cases, ensure connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
Ensure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. The protective cap should be securely placed on the remaining plug end. After installation, test the function by connecting a test light or properly wired trailer to verify that all circuits are working correctly.
Yes. Before inserting the T-connector housing, check the mating surface of the housing to make sure it is free of rust and dirt. Clean if necessary to ensure a proper connection.
Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Consult your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for your specific lamp load rating.
After installation is complete, test the function by connecting a test light or properly wired trailer to the T-connector. This verifies that all circuits are functioning properly before towing.
