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 Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Vue (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 4,000 lbs. WD and 400 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.
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. Although 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, universal 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 plug-in connector provides a 4-way flat socket and is designed to be a custom wiring option for certain years of the Chevy Equinox and Pontiac Torrent (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary hardware to establish a solid connection. It also comes with a dust cover to keep the connector socket clean when not in use. To ensure long-lasting reliability, all CURT custom wiring connectors are thoroughly tested for optimal functionality. 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.

Yes, the Curt 55560 custom wiring connector is compatible with Pontiac Torrent vehicles. Installation follows the same procedure as the Chevrolet Equinox, accessing the 6-pin taillight wiring harness in the driver side jack storage compartment.
The Curt 55560 has a maximum rating of 3.0 amps per side for signal circuits and 6.0 amps total for tail and running circuits. Do not exceed this product rating or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding the rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
The manual lists 'TOOLS NEEDED' but does not specify which tools are required. Based on the installation steps, you will need a drill with a 3/32" bit (if drilling a new grounding point), a screwdriver, and possibly a test light for post-installation testing. Contact the manufacturer or your installer for a complete tool list.
The 6-pin vehicle taillight wiring connector is located inside the driver side jack storage compartment at the floor level. To access it, open the tailgate, locate the jack storage compartment on the driver side, remove the compartment cover panel and tire jack. The connector will be taped to the vehicle wiring harness.
Remove the tape from the vehicle's 6-pin connector in the jack compartment. Insert the custom wiring connector into the vehicle connector, ensuring it is fully inserted with the locking tabs in place. The connectors are designed to match, so they should fit together securely.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no suitable point exists, drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint. Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw.
Drilling is optional. You only need to drill a 3/32" pilot hole if no suitable existing grounding point (such as a screw with nut in the vehicle frame) is available near the connector. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint before securing the ground wire.
Drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided ground screw. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
Locate a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight and adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape. The converter box should be mounted securely in a location that does not interfere with vehicle operation.
When in use, route the 4-flat to the center of the vehicle and out of the trunk. When not in use, roll up and store in a convenient, out-of-the-way location inside the trunk. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties to prevent tangling and damage.
Reinstall all items removed during installation, including the jack storage compartment cover panel and tire jack. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion. Test the connector for proper function using a test light or by connecting a properly wired trailer.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse. Do not exceed this rating. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
Exceeding the product rating (3.0 amps per side for signal circuits, 6.0 amps total for tail/running circuits) or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower, can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. Do not exceed the product rating or the 10-amp maximum fuse rating.
Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury. This is especially important when drilling the 3/32" pilot hole for the ground screw.
