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 Chevy Captiva Sport and Saturn Vue (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 Saturn Vue and Chevy Captiva (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.

1. Lower the exhaust by removing the rear 4 exhaust hangers (use spray lubricant if needed). 2. Raise the hitch into position between the frame rails, aligning the hitch holes with the existing weldnuts in the frame rails (3 places on both sides). 3. Install the supplied hex bolts and conical tooth washers. 4. Torque all 12mm fasteners to 79 lb-ft.
All 12mm fasteners must be torqued to 79 lb-ft.
No. The manual explicitly states 'NO DRILLING REQUIRED'. The hitch uses existing weldnuts already present in the vehicle's frame rails.

Yes, the Curt 56026 is designed for Chevrolet Captiva and Saturn Vue vehicles classified as SUVs, mini and full-sized vans. Confirm your vehicle matches these models before purchasing.
You will need a Phillips screwdriver, flat blade screwdriver, and panel trim removal tool. These are standard tools; the manual does not specify that professional installation is required.
The harness includes a custom wiring harness with green and yellow wire ends, a black converter box, a white ground wire with ring terminal, a provided screw for grounding, double-sided tape for the converter box, cable ties for securing loose wires, and a 4-flat dust cover.
The manual does not explicitly state whether the battery must be disconnected. However, it does specify that the battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp max fuse. Refer to the included CME-PCL-INS sheet for battery routing details, or contact the manufacturer for safety guidance on battery disconnection.
Open the vehicle tailgate and remove the scuff panel by pulling out on the bottom and then up. Take care not to damage the alignment tabs on the back. Then remove the floor panels and spare tire tray.
After removing the scuff panel, floor panels, spare tire tray, cargo loops, sliders, and side pockets from both sides of the vehicle, you will locate the vehicle taillight wiring harness connectors under the removed side pockets. The connectors will be similar to those on the custom wiring harness.
Separate the vehicle taillight connectors from the taillight housing, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Insert the custom wiring harness end (green wire on passenger side, yellow wire on driver side) between the separated connectors. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
Drilling may be required. In Step 7, you must locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no existing screw is available, you will need to drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
If an existing screw is not available, drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided grounding screw.
Signal circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side. Tail and running circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total. The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp max fuse. Do not exceed the product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp max fuse. Exceeding this rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating, and potential fire. Do not exceed the product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
The custom wiring harness has a green wire end for the passenger side, a yellow wire end for the driver side, and a white ground wire. The converter box is black. The power wire from the battery is also black.
Locate a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight and adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape.
When not in use, roll up the 4-flat connector and store it in a convenient, out-of-the-way location inside the trunk. When in use, route the 4-flat to the center of the vehicle and out of the trunk. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
All steps must be followed to ensure the wiring harness functions properly. Once installed, test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer.
Reinstall all items removed during installation, including the scuff panel, floor panels, spare tire tray, cargo loops, sliders, and side pockets. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
