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 Dodge, Freightliner or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500, 2500 or 3500 (fits standard bumper only; see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 6,000 lbs. GTW and 600 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 10,000 lbs. WD and 1,000 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 Chrysler Aspen and Pacifica, Dodge Dakota, Durango, Dodge Ram 2500, 1500 Van, 2500 Van, Dodge Sprinter 2500 and 3500, Jeep Commander, Grand Cherokee and Liberty and Mitsubishi Raider (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 13388 fits Dodge, Mercedes, and Freightliner Sprinter 2500 and 3500 models equipped with a standard bumper. The manual does not specify year ranges, so contact CURT technical support at 1-877-287-8634 or visit www.curtmfg.com to confirm your specific model year.
The manual specifies this hitch is designed for vehicles with a standard bumper only. If your Sprinter has a custom or aftermarket bumper, contact CURT technical support at 1-877-287-8634 to confirm compatibility.
The manual lists gross load capacity specifications for both weight-carrying and weight-distribution hitch use, but the actual capacity values are not filled in on this copy of the manual. Contact CURT Manufacturing at 1-877-287-8634 or www.curtmfg.com for the specific towing and tongue weight capacities for your vehicle.
Your vehicle has a maximum towing capacity set by Dodge, Mercedes, or Freightliner. Even though the hitch may be rated higher, you must never tow more than your vehicle manufacturer recommends. Check your owner's manual or contact your vehicle dealer for your specific towing limit.
The kit includes: six 7/16-14 UNC hex head cap screws (4-1/2" long, grade 8), six 7/16" flat washers, six 7/16-14 UNC serrated flange nuts, two 1/2" square hole spacers (CM-SP6), two 1/2-13 UNC carriage bolts (1-1/2" long, grade 8), two 1/2-13 UNC serrated flange nuts, and 1/2" fishwire.
No. All fasteners required for installation are included in the kit. The manual does not mention any additional hardware needed.
The manual does not specify which tools are required. Contact CURT technical support at 1-877-287-8634 for a complete tool list. At minimum, you will likely need a torque wrench (to tighten fasteners to 70 and 110 lb-ft), a drill with appropriate bits (for 2500 models), and standard wrenches or sockets.
Drilling is required only for Sprinter 2500 models. The 2500 uses the hitch as a template to drill holes into the bottom of the frame. Sprinter 3500 models have existing holes in the frame and do not require drilling.
The manual does not specify the hole size. Use the hitch as a template to mark and drill the holes into the bottom of the frame. Contact CURT technical support at 1-877-287-8634 if you need the exact hole diameter.
Step 1 instructs you to remove bolts and brackets (1 bolt per bracket) or remove the tow loop (3 bolts per loop) if equipped. This suggests the tow loop removal is conditional on whether your vehicle has one. If your Sprinter has a factory tow loop, remove it before installing the hitch.
The passenger side must be raised into position first. This allows extra space needed to fit around the exhaust on the driver's side.
The 3500 model has existing holes in the frame and uses 7/16" hardware directly. The 2500 model requires you to use the hitch as a template to drill holes into the bottom of the frame before securing with 7/16" hardware. Both models use the same fastener sizes and torque specifications.
In step 4, insert the CM-SP6 spacers and 1/2" carriage bolts through the access hole and out through the drilled hole. The fishwire is included in the kit but the manual does not explain its specific use. Contact CURT technical support at 1-877-287-8634 for clarification on fishwire installation.
Torque all 7/16" hardware to 70 lb-ft and all 1/2" hardware to 110 lb-ft. This applies to both 2500 and 3500 models.
After installation, ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. The manual recommends periodically checking the hitch to ensure fasteners remain tight and components remain in good condition during use.
The manual recommends periodically checking the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. It does not specify an exact interval. Inspect before each towing trip and at regular maintenance intervals.

Part 55381 fits Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models equipped with a factory 7-way connector. If your vehicle has the factory 7-way connector, this harness is compatible. Vehicles without the factory 7-way connector are not supported by this product.
Yes, part 55381 is compatible with Jeep Grand Cherokee models that have a factory 7-way connector. The harness is designed to work with the factory 7-way connector on this vehicle.
Yes, part 55381 fits Dodge Sprinter 2500 and 3500 models, as well as Freightliner Sprinter 2500 and 3500 models, provided they have a factory 7-way connector.
Yes. The 55381 custom wiring harness is designed to work only with vehicles equipped with a factory 7-way connector. The harness is inserted between the factory 7-way connector and the vehicle wiring harness. Vehicles without a factory 7-way connector cannot use this product.
The 55381 is a custom wiring harness that connects between your vehicle's factory 7-way connector and the vehicle wiring harness. It allows you to use aftermarket trailers and towing equipment with your vehicle's existing electrical system.
The manual does not specify any special tools required. The installation involves locating the factory 7-way connector under the driver side bumper, removing mounting screws or bolts, separating connectors by pressing a red locking tab, and reinstalling components. Standard hand tools for removing fasteners should be sufficient.
The factory 7-way connector is located under the bumper on the driver side of the vehicle, near the taillight wiring harness. The exact location varies by vehicle type: on SUVs, vans and pickup trucks, look behind the driver side taillight housing (location S1 for SUVs/vans, T1 for pickup trucks).
Carefully press the red locking tab on the connector sideways and pull the connectors apart. Take care not to damage the locking tabs during this process. Once separated, ensure the mating surfaces of both connectors are free of dirt and clean if necessary before proceeding.
Insert the custom wiring harness between the separated factory 7-way connector and vehicle wiring harness. Make sure both connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Push the red locking tabs back to their original position to secure the connection.
Reinstall all items you removed during installation. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion of the connectors.
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. Check your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for your specific tow vehicle lamp load rating.
Before drilling to avoid damage and personal injury, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface. However, the standard installation of the 55381 does not require drilling—it is a connector-based installation.
Once installed, test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer. All steps must be followed to ensure the wiring harness will function properly.
The 55381 fits Chrysler Aspen and Pacifica, Dodge Dakota, Durango, Ram 1500/2500/3500, Ram vans, and Sprinter vans, Freightliner Sprinter vans, Jeep Commander, Grand Cherokee, and Liberty, and Mitsubishi Raider—all with factory 7-way connectors. Check your vehicle's documentation to confirm it has a factory 7-way connector.
No. The 55381 is a connector-based installation that requires no drilling, cutting, or permanent modifications. It connects between your factory 7-way connector and vehicle wiring harness.
Do not exceed the product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding the rating can cause overheating and fire. Check your vehicle owner's manual for the tow vehicle lamp load rating.
Test for proper function using a test light or by connecting a properly wired trailer. Ensure all installation steps have been completed.
