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 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 5,000 lbs. GTW and 500 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 5,500 lbs. WD and 550 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 Jeep Grand Cherokee (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.

You will need a T-25 Torx head screwdriver to remove the taillight screws. If you do not have a suitable grounding point with an existing screw and nut, you will need a drill with a 3/32" bit. The kit includes double-sided tape, cable ties, an eyelet, and a screw for grounding.
The kit includes a T-connector with yellow and green wires, a 4-flat wire connector, a black converter box, double-sided tape, cable ties, an eyelet, and a screw for grounding.
Open the rear hatch and locate the two T-25 Torx head screws holding each taillight in place. Remove both screws, then carefully pull out on the taillight housing, being sure not to damage the alignment tabs.
Starting on the driver's side, separate the vehicle's taillight wiring connectors without damaging the locking tabs. Insert the T-connector end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat this process on the passenger side using the green wire connector.
Route the T-connector end with the green wire and the 4-flat wire down through the opening under the driver's side taillight. Route the green wire across the backside of the bumper and up through the opening under the passenger side taillight. Route the 4-flat connector to the center of the vehicle and secure it in a convenient, out-of-the-way location.
Drilling is required only if you do not have a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle's frame. If drilling is necessary, drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided in the kit. Before drilling, verify that no miscellaneous items are hidden behind or under the surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle's frame. If one is available, use it to secure the white wire. If not, drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided in the kit. Before drilling, verify that no miscellaneous items are hidden behind or under the surface.
Adhere the black converter box to the frame of the vehicle behind the taillight using the double-sided tape provided in the kit.
Secure any loose wires with the cable ties provided in the kit. Route the 4-flat connector to the center of the vehicle and secure it in a convenient, out-of-the-way location.
Before drilling, verify that miscellaneous items are not hidden behind or under any surface. Drilling into hidden wires, fuel lines, or other components can cause damage and personal injury.
