All Hardware and Installation Instructions Included!
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 Nissan Quest (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 300 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 5,000 lbs. WD and 500 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.
If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution. A custom wiring harness -- also called a T-connector -- is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your automotive electric system and provides a standard, universal trailer wiring connection. This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation. Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing. This particular plug-in harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness to fit certain years of the Nissan Quest (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use. You have a picture in mind of your next destination -- maybe it's the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it's a campsite that overlooks one of nature's masterpieces, or maybe it's the next big jobsite. However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming. It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power. CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing hitch setup.

The 04 - 09 Nissan Quest Curt 2" Class 3 Trailer Tow Hitch + 5-Flat Wiring Kit Tow Boat/Utility Trailer with Surge Brakes 13563 (Part #5W-CHW-2546) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, Curt part number 13563 is designed for the Nissan Quest. This is a receiver hitch installation for that vehicle.
The manual specifies gross load capacity ratings for both weight carrying and weight distribution modes, but the specific capacity values are not filled in on this copy of the installation document. Contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634 for the exact towing and tongue weight capacities. Always verify that your vehicle's towing capacity does not exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended limit.
The hitch weight specification is not filled in on this copy of the installation manual. Contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634 for the exact hitch weight.
No, drilling is not required. The hitch uses existing weldnuts in the vehicle frame for fastening.
Yes. You must remove the plastic rivets that fasten the bumper fascia tabs to the back of the vehicle. To remove them, use a screwdriver to remove the center of the rivet, or push down on the center piece from the top side. Keep these rivets—you will reinstall them after the hitch is installed.
Yes, the exhaust must be lowered to provide clearance for the hitch. You will remove the rubber from the muffler hanger and loosen the two nuts that secure the exhaust hanger bracket to the chassis ahead of the muffler, adjacent to the rear axle. After the hitch is installed, you will lift the exhaust back into position and reinstall the hangers.
Pull and hold the muffler to the side, then remove the screw attaching the ground strap to the passenger side frame rail and keep it. Remove the two screws that attach the aluminum heat shield to the frame. Return the heat shield and its screws to the customer. After the hitch is installed, reinstall the ground strap and screw.
The kit includes 6 hex tap bolts (part number 10-10277) and 6 conical toothed washers (part number 30-00149, size 1/2 inch). These are 12mm fasteners that attach the hitch to the existing weldnuts in the vehicle frame.
All 12mm fasteners (hex bolts and conical toothed washers) must be torqued to 86 lb.-ft. Install them loosely first, then torque them to this specification after the hitch is raised into place.
Position the hitch toward the driver side to allow maximum muffler clearance. This positioning is important to avoid interference with the exhaust system.
Curt Manufacturing warrants this product to be free of defects in material and workmanship at the time of retail purchase by the original purchaser. If the product is found to be defective, Curt may repair or replace it at their option when returned prepaid with proof of purchase. Warranty is voided by alteration, misuse, or improper installation. Curt's liability is limited to repair or replacement and excludes liability for incidental or consequential loss or damage.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify an exact interval, but regular inspection is essential for safe towing.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The Curt 13563 has its own gross load capacity ratings, but your vehicle's manufacturer limit is the controlling factor. Verify both the hitch capacity and your vehicle's capacity before towing.
Yes, the Curt 13563 is designed for the Nissan Quest.
No. The hitch uses existing weldnuts in the frame.
Yes to both. You must remove plastic rivets from the bumper fascia and lower the exhaust by removing the muffler hanger rubber and loosening the exhaust bracket nuts.
Six 12mm hex tap bolts and six conical toothed washers (1/2 inch).
Torque all 12mm fasteners to 86 lb.-ft.
Periodically check that all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound.
Yes, the Curt 55570 custom wiring harness is designed for the Nissan Quest. The harness connects to the vehicle's taillight wiring behind the driver and passenger side taillight housings.
The Curt 55570 is a custom wiring harness that integrates with your Nissan Quest's taillight system to provide trailer lighting connections. It includes a converter box that processes the vehicle's taillight signals and a 4-flat connector for trailer use.
You need a panel trim removal tool. If a suitable grounding point with an existing screw is not available, you will also need to drill a 3/32" pilot hole, which requires a drill with a 3/32" bit.
The kit includes the custom wiring harness with yellow and green wire ends, a white ground wire with ring terminal, a black converter box, a provided screw for grounding, double-sided tape for mounting the converter box, a 10-amp fuse for the 'TOW LAMP' fuse slot, cable ties for securing loose wires, and a 4-flat dust cover.
The manual does not specify whether battery disconnection is required. Contact Curt Manufacturing or consult your vehicle owner's manual for this information.
Open the tailgate and remove the side access panel. Partially remove the rear trim panels by removing the plastic wing nuts holding them in place. Remove the scuff panel by pulling out at the bottom and then up, taking care not to damage the alignment tabs on the back. The taillight wiring harness connectors will be visible behind these panels.
Locate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connectors behind the rear trim panels. Separate the connectors from the taillight housing, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Insert the custom wiring harness end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors on the driver side, ensuring the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat on the passenger side using the harness end with the green wire. Also insert the custom wiring harness power wire into its mating connector located next to the vehicle wiring harness.
Drilling is required only if a suitable grounding point with an existing screw is not available near the taillight connector. If drilling is necessary, you will drill a 3/32" pilot hole. Before drilling, check for hidden items behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the taillight connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. The area should be free of rust, dirt and paint. If no existing screw is available, drill a 3/32" pilot hole. Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and the provided screw.
Locate a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight. Adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape. The area should be clean and dry for proper adhesion.
The 'TOW LAMP' fuse slot is located in the fuse box next to the battery. Insert the provided 10-amp fuse into this slot.
The Curt 55570 has the following circuit ratings: Signal circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side, and tail/running circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
When in use, route the 4-flat connector to the center of the vehicle and out of the trunk. When not in use, roll it up and store in a convenient, out-of-the-way location inside the trunk. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
Test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer. All steps must be followed to ensure the wiring harness functions properly.
Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. Additionally, before drilling, check for hidden items behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
