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 Acura RDX (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 300 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.
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 Honda Accord Crosstour and Acura RDX (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.

Yes, the Curt 56008 is designed for the Acura RDX. The connector is located behind the driver side taillight housing inside the trunk. Installation procedures vary depending on whether your vehicle has an access panel on the driver side rear trim panel; refer to the appropriate installation steps (Steps 2-A through 5-A for vehicles without the access panel, or Steps 2-B through 4-B for vehicles with the access panel).
Yes, the Curt 56008 is designed for the Honda Accord Crosstour. The connector is located on the driver side in the corner under the trim panel. Installation requires removing the cargo area cover and 10mm bolts holding the cargo tray in place, then locating and connecting to the vehicle connector. You will also need to install a 10-amp fuse in the vehicle fuse box at position 10.
The Curt 56008 has two amperage ratings: Signal Circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side, and Tail/Running Circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total. The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse. Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower, as exceeding the rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
You will need a 10mm socket, a ratchet, and a panel trim removal tool. These tools are required to disconnect the battery terminal, remove cargo area covers, and remove trim panels and fasteners during installation.
Yes, you must disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation. This is the first step for both Acura RDX and Honda Accord Crosstour installations and is essential for safety.
The location depends on whether your vehicle has an access panel on the driver side rear trim panel. If there is no access panel, the connector is located near the back seat under the passenger side floor spacer. If there is an access panel, the connector is located in the driver side rear trim panel and can be accessed by opening the trunk and removing the access panel. Both connectors will be similar in appearance to the custom wiring harness connector.
The vehicle connector is located on the driver side in the corner under the trim panel. To access it, open the trunk, remove the cargo area cover, and remove the 10mm bolts holding the cargo tray in place. The connector will be similar in appearance to the custom wiring harness connector.
Insert the custom wiring harness connector into the vehicle connector. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. The connectors are designed to fit together in only one way, similar to the design of the custom wiring harness connector.
For Acura RDX vehicles, locate a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight and adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape. For Honda Accord Crosstour vehicles, locate a flat spot outside the vehicle on the frame and adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape. The location differs between vehicle types.
When in use, route the 4-flat to the center of the vehicle. When not in use, roll it up and store it in the spare tire storage area. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties to prevent tangling and damage.
Yes, for Honda Accord Crosstour vehicles, you must install a 10-amp fuse in the vehicle fuse box. Locate the fuse box on the driver side under the hood near the firewall, remove the fuse panel cover, and insert the provided 10-amp fuse into fuse location 10 (the trailer tow fuse position). A fuse may also be required in the vehicle fuse panel for other applications; check your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for more information.
After connecting the wiring harness connector, reinstall all items removed during installation, reconnect the negative battery terminal, and install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion. Test the connector for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer.
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. Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. The product is rated for Signal Circuits at 3.0 amps per side and Tail/Running Circuits at 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
Once installed, test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer. All installation steps must be followed to ensure the wiring connector will function properly.
You must remove the cargo area cover and flooring, undo the four clips holding the cargo area lid in place, remove the lid and spare tire, remove the two clips securing the passenger side panel and floor spacer, and remove the floor spacer by pushing in at the back edge and out at the front edge to clear the vehicle bracket. The vehicle connector is then located near the back seat under the passenger side floor spacer.
You must open the trunk, remove the cargo area cover, and remove the 10mm bolts holding the cargo tray in place on the driver side. The vehicle connector is then located on the driver side in the corner under the trim panel.
