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 Subaru Tribeca and B9 Tribeca (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 Subaru Forester, Legacy, Outback wagon, Tribeca, B9 Tribeca and Impreza WRX wagon (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.

You will need: socket wrench with 9/16" and 3/4" sockets, small flathead screwdriver, and torque wrench.
No, drilling is not required. The hitch uses existing access holes in the vehicle's bumper beam and A-frame.
Yes, you must lower the spare tire at the beginning of installation (Step 1) and raise it back into position at the end (Step 8).
Torque all 3/8" hardware to 37 ft-lbs and all 1/2" hardware to 110 ft-lbs.
The hitch weight is 40 lbs.
The manual indicates that Curt 13046 can be used as either a weight-carrying hitch or a weight-distribution hitch, with different gross load capacities for each mode. However, the specific load capacity values are not filled in on the manual provided. Contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634 for the exact capacity ratings.
The kit includes: 2× 1/2-13 UNC carriage bolts (part 10-10288), 2× 3/8-16 UNC carriage bolts (part 10-10473), 2× 1/2-13 UNC serrated flange nuts (part 20-00062), 2× 3/8-16 UNC serrated flange nuts (part 20-00102), 2× 0.250 × 1.00 × 3.00" square hole spacers (part CM-SP6), 2× 0.250 × 1.00 × 2.00" square hole spacers (part CM-SP18), 2× 3/8" fishwires (part 3_8 FISHWIRE), and 2× 1/2" fishwires (part 1_2 FISHWIRE).
The fishwire technique is used to position carriage bolts and spacers into the vehicle's bumper beam and A-frame without losing hardware. In Step 3, 3/8" carriage bolts and SP18 spacers are fishwired into the bumper beam using 3/8" fishwires. In Step 4, 1/2" carriage bolts and SP6 spacers are fishwired into the vehicle's A-frame using 1/2" fishwires. The fishwires are left attached during initial positioning to prevent losing hardware, then removed when the hitch is raised into position.
Two plastic fascia tabs are removed from the vehicle in Step 2 using a small flathead screwdriver to access the bumper beam. These tabs are re-installed in Step 7 after the hitch is secured.
All 3/8" hardware on Curt 13046 must be torqued to 37 ft-lbs.

Fishwire 3/8" carriage bolts and SP18 spacers into the bumper beam using 3/8" fishwires, leaving fishwires attached. 4. Raise the hitch into position, remove fishwires, and finger tighten 3/8" flange nuts. 5. Fishwire 1/2" carriage bolts and SP6 spacers into the A-frame using 1/2" fishwires. 6. Install 1/2" flange nuts. 7. Torque all 3/8" hardware to 37 ft-lbs and all 1/2" hardware to 110 ft-lbs. 8. Re-install the two plastic fascia tabs. 9. Raise the spare tire back into position.

Contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634 for the exact capacity ratings for your vehicle.
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, so regular visual inspection before towing is recommended.

The signal circuits are rated for 3.0 amps per side. The tail and running circuits are rated for 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed these ratings or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower, as this can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse. Exceeding this rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
You only need a Phillips screwdriver. Depending on your vehicle model, you may also need a pry tool to remove plastic panels during access to the wiring harness.
The kit includes the custom wiring connector, a 10-amp inline fuse holder with fuse, cable ties for securing loose wires, and a 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected before installation. Contact the manufacturer or consult your vehicle owner's manual for guidance on safe electrical work.
On the Tribeca, the wiring connector is located under the rear trim panel. To access it, remove the cargo nets and roll back the carpet in the rear cargo area, then remove the four plastic fasteners securing the jack compartment.
On the Outback, the wiring connector is located behind the passenger side rear access panel (S4 location). To access it, remove the cargo nets and carpet from the center and left cargo area, then remove the black plastic from that area using a pry tool.
Once you have located the vehicle wiring connector, remove the tape covering the plug. Insert the custom wiring connector end into the vehicle connector. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. For Outback models, insert the 4-flat through the existing hole in the panel.
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.
Insert the provided 10-amp fuse into the inline fuse holder. This fuse protects the battery connection and must not be exceeded.
Yes, install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion. This should be done during the final reinstallation step after all other components have been secured.
All steps must be followed to ensure the wiring connector will function properly. Once installed, test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer. The manual does not provide detailed testing procedures beyond this.
