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 Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 lbs. TW. 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 Hyundai Tucson (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.

No. The installation instructions require you to remove the tow hooks before installing the hitch. The manual states 'Remove tow hooks and return to customer' as step 2 of the installation process. The manual does not specify whether this removal is permanent or whether the hooks can be reinstalled after the hitch is mounted.
The gross load capacity when used as a weight-carrying hitch is 3,500 lbs trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower.
The hitch weight is 60 lbs.
The kit includes 6 hex head cap screws (HHCS) M10×1.25×35 mm, grade 10.9, zinc-plated (part 10-10298) and 6 conical washers (part 30-00163). These fasteners secure the hitch to the existing frame weld nuts.
No. The manual explicitly states 'NO DRILLING REQUIRED'. The hitch uses existing frame weld nuts on both the driver and passenger side frame rails.
Yes. Step 1 of the installation instructions requires you to 'Remove exhaust hangers and lower exhaust for ease of installation.' Step 5 requires you to reinstall the exhaust hangers after the hitch is secured. The manual does not provide detailed instructions for exhaust removal or lowering.
All 10 mm fasteners must be torqued to 48 lb-ft.
1. Remove exhaust hangers and lower exhaust. 2. Remove tow hooks and return to customer. 3. Raise hitch into position and secure with hex bolts and conical washers through existing weld nuts in frame rails. 4. Torque all 10 mm fasteners to 48 lb-ft. 5. Reinstall exhaust hangers.
The hex bolts and conical washers pass through existing weld nuts located on both the driver side and passenger side frame rails. The hitch is raised into position and secured using these existing frame attachment points.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify the interval for these checks or provide a detailed inspection procedure.
No. The manual states: 'DO NOT EXCEED VEHICLE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED TOWING CAPACITY.' Even though the hitch is rated for 3,500 lbs trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight, you must follow your vehicle manufacturer's lower towing limit if one exists.
Alteration to, misuse of, or improper installation of the hitch voids the warranty. Curt Manufacturing's liability is limited to repair or replacement of defective products and excludes liability for incidental or consequential loss or damage.
Yes, Curt part number 55528 is designed for the Hyundai Tucson. The manual does not specify model year restrictions, so compatibility should be confirmed with the retailer or manufacturer if your vehicle is significantly older or newer than the manual publication date (02/18/09).
The kit includes a T-Connector with yellow and green wire ends, a black converter box, double-sided tape, cable ties, an eyelet, a screw, and a 4-flat connector. The manual does not specify quantities of cable ties or other consumables.
You will need a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the vehicle's taillight housing screws. If you do not have a suitable existing grounding point (screw with nut in the vehicle frame), you will need a drill with a 3/32" bit to create one.
Open the hatch and remove the two Phillips head screws from each taillight housing. Separate the vehicle's electrical connector from the back of the taillight housing. Repeat on both sides.
Route the T-Connector end with the yellow wire up through the opening under the driver's side taillight housing and insert it between the separated vehicle connector and the taillight housing connector.
Route the T-Connector end with the green wire along the back side of the bumper to the passenger side, then insert it between the separated connectors at the passenger side taillight housing, following the same procedure as the driver's side.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle's frame. If none is available, drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided in the kit.
Drilling is required only if a suitable existing grounding point (screw with nut in the vehicle frame) is not available near the connector. If you must drill, use a 3/32" bit and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided.
Drill a 3/32" hole for the ground wire if an existing grounding point is not available. Secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided in the kit.
Adhere the black converter box to the frame of the vehicle using the double-sided tape provided in the kit. Choose a location that is secure and does not interfere with vehicle operation.
Secure any loose parts of the T-Connector with the cable ties provided in the kit to prevent movement and potential damage during vehicle operation.
Route the 4-flat connector to the center of the vehicle and secure it in a convenient location that is out of the way and does not interfere with vehicle operation or occupants.
Before drilling, verify that miscellaneous items are not hidden behind or under any surface where you plan to drill. This prevents damage to hidden components and personal injury.
