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 Suzuki Grand Vitara (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.
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 Suzuki Grand Vitara and SX4 (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.

Yes, Curt part number 13001 is designed for the Suzuki Grand Vitara. The hitch mounts to existing frame weldnuts and requires removal of the factory tow hook.
The hitch includes 6 hex head cap screws (HHCS) M12×1.25, 35 mm length, class 10.9, zinc-plated (part 10-10275) and 6 S-CON washers, 1/2 inch, zinc-plated (part 30-00149). These fasteners install into existing frame weldnuts.
You will need: a ratchet, 17 mm socket, 19 mm socket, 12 inch socket extension, torque wrench, and rotary tool. The rotary tool is required for fascia trimming on models without a hatch-mounted spare tire.
Yes, you must remove the factory tow hook and return it to the vehicle owner. The hitch mounts to existing frame weldnuts, so no additional frame preparation is required.
No, drilling is not required. The hitch fastens to existing frame weldnuts. However, fascia trimming is required on some models, particularly if a hatch-mounted spare tire is not present.
Fascia trimming is required if your Suzuki Grand Vitara does not have a hatch-mounted spare tire. If a hatch-mounted spare is present, no trimming is needed. Trim dimensions are approximately 1.50 inches, 2.75 inches, and 2.50 inches as shown in the trim diagram. Confirm fit prior to trimming.
All 12 mm fasteners must be torqued to 86 ft-lbs.
Raise the hitch into position so that the driver side plate is positioned outside of the exhaust hanger bracket. This prevents interference with the rubber exhaust hanger and ensures proper clearance.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This helps maintain safe towing performance and extends the life of the hitch.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The Curt 13001 has specific gross load capacity ratings for weight-carrying and weight-distribution modes, but you must verify these do not exceed what your Suzuki Grand Vitara is rated to tow.
Yes, the Curt 13001 is designed for the Suzuki Grand Vitara and mounts to existing frame weldnuts.
No drilling is required. Fascia trimming is needed only if your vehicle does not have a hatch-mounted spare tire.
You need a ratchet, 17 mm and 19 mm sockets, 12 inch socket extension, torque wrench, and rotary tool (for fascia trimming if required).
All 12 mm fasteners must be torqued to 86 ft-lbs.
Yes, Curt part number 56002 is designed for the Suzuki SX4. It is also compatible with the Suzuki Grand Vitara. The harness installs in the rear hatch area and connects to the vehicle's existing taillight wiring.
Yes, Curt part number 56002 is compatible with both the Suzuki SX4 and Suzuki Grand Vitara. The installation procedure is the same for both vehicles.
You will need a screwdriver and possibly a drill. The kit includes an eyelet and screw for grounding. A drill with a 3/32" bit is required only if you choose to drill a new grounding hole rather than use an existing screw with nut in the vehicle's frame.
The kit includes: a white wire with eyelet and screw for grounding, double-sided tape for securing the black converter box, and cable ties for securing loose parts of the T-connector.
The manual does not specify whether battery disconnection is required. Contact Curt Manufacturing or consult a qualified installer for guidance on this safety step.
Open the rear hatch and remove the floor coverings and rear scuff panel. On both sides of the vehicle, partially remove the felt trim liner by removing two plastic fasteners holding it in place. Behind the felt trim liner you will find the vehicle's taillight wiring harness, which will be wrapped in foam.
Unwrap the foam from the taillight wiring harness and separate the connectors, being careful not to damage the locking tabs. Insert the T-connector end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
Route the T-connector end with the green wire out from behind the rear trim panel, under the removed scuff panel, and under the trim panel on the passenger side. Repeat the connection process on the passenger side using the green wire. Secure any loose parts of the T-connector with the cable ties provided.
Adhere the black converter box to the frame of the car using the double-sided tape provided. Choose a location near the taillight connectors for convenient wiring.
When not in use, roll up the 4-flat wire and store it in an out-of-the-way location in the trunk. When the trailer is in use, route the 4-flat wire to the center of the vehicle and out the trunk.
Drilling is optional. The white grounding wire can be secured to an existing screw with nut in the vehicle's frame. If no suitable existing grounding point is available, you may drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided.
If drilling is necessary, drill a 3/32" hole on the driver's side near the connector to secure the white grounding wire using the eyelet and screw provided.
Before drilling, verify that miscellaneous items hidden behind or under any surface will not be damaged. Drilling into hidden wiring, fuel lines, brake lines, or structural components can cause damage and/or personal injury.
When unwrapping the foam and separating the taillight connectors, be careful not to damage the locking tabs. The locking tabs must be intact and fully engaged when reconnecting to ensure a secure connection.
