Whatever the next checkpoint is on your adventure -- whether it's getting your bike on the trail before sunrise or making it to the campground before dark -- CURT class 2 hitches let you Bring It with confidence. These receiver hitches are made to handle most light-duty towing applications and offer a custom fit for your vehicle. Typically used on full-size cars, crossovers, compact SUVs, minivans or even compact pickup trucks, a CURT class 2 trailer hitch complements the design of smaller vehicles. This particular class 2 hitch is made to be a custom hitch for certain years of the Dodge Challenger, Charger, Magnum and Chrysler 300 (to verify vehicle compatibility, see application info). It offers a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 lbs. TW. Class 2 trailer hitches can typically be used to tow a variety of lightweight trailers, such as a small utility trailer, small fishing boat trailer or popup camper (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component). They are also perfect for adding cargo space to your vehicle with a bike rack or cargo carrier. This class 2 hitch features a 1-1/4" receiver tube to accept a ball mount shank or other hitch-mounted accessory. For safety, it is tested in accordance with SAE J684. A custom trailer hitch design requires extra care, and as such, CURT class 2 hitches are engineered using real vehicles and hands-on research. We use high-strength steel, robotic welding and rigorous testing to produce hitches that are built to fit your lifestyle. To ensure that each hitch will be a reliable extension of your vehicle, we also finish our hitches in a co-curing of liquid A-coat and black powder coat, giving them long-lasting rust and wear resistance.
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 Chrysler 300 (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 Curt 56145 is a T-Connector wiring harness designed for the Chrysler 300C. It integrates with the vehicle's existing taillight wiring to provide trailer lighting connections. The system includes a converter box, T-Connector harness with yellow and green wire ends, a white ground wire with eyelet, a black power wire, a fuse holder with 10 amp fuse, double-sided tape, cable ties, and a 4-flat connector for trailer use.
Yes, the Curt 56145 is designed specifically for the Chrysler 300C. The installation procedure accesses the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connectors in the trunk and connects to the fuse panel near the battery.
The kit includes a T-Connector harness with yellow and green wire ends, a black converter box, a white ground wire with eyelet, a black power wire, a fuse holder with a 10 amp fuse, a screw for the ground wire, double-sided tape for mounting the converter box, cable ties for securing loose wires, and a 4-flat connector for trailer use.
Open the trunk and remove: all trunk floor covers, the rear scuff panel (by pulling out at the bottom and up at the top), and on both sides of the trunk remove the plastic fastener and cargo loop holding the felt trunk liner in place. You will also need to remove the fuse panel cover near the battery and remove the nut securing the red battery cable.
On the driver's side, pull back the felt trunk liner to locate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connectors. Separate the connectors carefully without damaging the locking tabs. Insert the T-Connector end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors, ensuring the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat this process on the passenger side using the T-Connector end with the green wire, routing it behind the removed scuff panel.
Locate a flat spot on the vehicle's frame and adhere the black converter box using the double-sided tape provided. Choose a location that is accessible and will not interfere with trunk contents or moving parts.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle's frame. If no suitable point exists, drill a 3/32" hole and secure the eyelet of the white ground wire using the screw provided. Before drilling, verify that miscellaneous items hidden behind or under any surface will not be damaged.
Route the black power wire to the fuse panel near the battery. Remove the fuse panel's cover and remove the nut securing the red battery cable. Place the fuse holder's ring terminal over the stud and replace the nut. Install the 10 amp fuse provided in the fuse holder and close the fuse holder's cap.
Use the 10 amp fuse provided with the kit. Install it in the fuse holder that connects to the red battery cable at the fuse panel.
Route the 4-flat connector out from under the felt trunk liner to the center of the vehicle when in use. When not in use, roll it up and store in an out-of-the-way location to prevent damage and keep the trunk clear.
Reinstall all items removed during installation, including trunk floor covers, rear scuff panel, felt trunk liner fasteners and cargo loops, and fuse panel cover. Verify that all connectors are fully seated with locking tabs in place, and that all wires are secured with cable ties.
Yes, the Curt 56145 is designed specifically for the Chrysler 300C.
