All Hardware and Installation Instructions Included!
However you define adventure -- whether it's climbing onto the back of a mountain bike, hunting from the top of a tree stand or camping with the family a long way from nowhere -- CURT class 1 hitches provide a light-duty towing receiver to help you Bring It. Each is made to fit a specific vehicle, providing easier installation, a better fit and optimal towing capacity. Custom class 1 trailer hitches are available for a variety of smaller vehicle types, including the compact car, crossover, minivan and small SUV. This particular class 1 hitch is designed to be a custom hitch for certain years of the Ford Mustang (to verify vehicle compatibility, see the CURT application guide at curtmfg.com). Tested in accordance with SAE J684, it offers a weight carrying capacity of 2,000 lbs. GTW and 200 lbs. TW. It is equipped with 1-1/4" receiver tube opening to accept a ball mount shank or other hitch mount. This class 1 hitch also comes with all necessary mounting hardware. With its lightweight design and smaller receiver tube size, a class 1 hitch is especially useful for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted bike rack or cargo carrier. They can also typically be used to tow small trailers such as a utility trailer, kayak trailer or teardrop camper (never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component; i.e. the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc). Though CURT class 1 trailer hitches are only intended for light-duty towing, we apply the same principles of quality as we do to the rest of our rear mount hitches. Each class 1 hitch is made with hands-on engineering, high-strength steel and precise welding. We use a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat, inside and out, and durable black powder coat to provide a lasting defense against rust, chips and UV rays.
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 Ford Mustang (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.

The 2010 Ford Mustang Coupe Curt 1-1/4", Class 1 Trailer Tow Hitch + 4-flat Wiring Kit 11048 (Part #CHW-1264) fits 2010 Ford Mustang models. The 2010 model year is the last year covered by this part number. For newer models, check for an updated version.
The 2010 Ford Mustang Coupe Curt 1-1/4", Class 1 Trailer Tow Hitch + 4-flat Wiring Kit 11048 (Part #CHW-1264) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, CURT 11048 is designed for 2010–2011 Ford Mustang Coupes. The installation procedure differs slightly between model years: 2010 models require rear exhaust hanger relocation, while 2011 models do not.
CURT 11048 is rated for a maximum trailer weight of 2,000 lbs and tongue weight of 200 lbs when used as a weight-carrying hitch. You must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
The minimum tongue weight is 120 lbs.
The minimum trailer weight is 60 lbs.
Required tools are: pry bar, ratchet, 9/16" and 11/16" sockets (or 13 mm and 15 mm sockets), and a torque wrench. Safety glasses must be worn at all times during installation.
No, drilling is not required. The hitch uses fishwire hardware installation through existing access holes in the frame rails.
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected. Contact CURT Technical Support at 877-287-8634 for clarification.
Two people may be required to ease installation. The manual notes that using proper tools will greatly improve the quality of the install and reduce the time required.
The installation is rated as challenging. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance.
On 2010 models, the rear exhaust hangers must be removed and relocated. The exhaust pipes must be lowered by loosening the strap that fastens them together behind the muffler and detaching the pipes from each other. The rear of the muffler is then carefully lowered to hang from the remaining exhaust hanger. The four fasteners removed from the rear hangers should be returned to the vehicle owner. Alternatively, you may remove the forward exhaust hangers and remove the mufflers entirely, or leave the pipes attached and remove both sets of hangers (though this requires a vehicle lift).
On 2011 models, remove the rearmost rubber isolator on both mufflers. Lower the exhaust by loosening the strap that fastens the exhaust pipes together behind the muffler and detaching the pipes from each other. Carefully lower the rear of the muffler and let it hang from the remaining exhaust hanger. Repeat on the other side. Unlike 2010 models, the rear exhaust hangers do not need to be relocated.
Fishwire is a technique used to thread carriage bolts and spacers through access holes in the frame rails before raising the hitch into position. The bolts and spacers are inserted through the access holes and positioned so they are ready to receive the hitch when it is raised. This allows the hardware to be secured without drilling new holes.
The hitch is attached using carriage bolts, square hole spacers, round hole spacers, and serrated flange nuts. Specifically: 7/16 x 1" carriage bolts (part 10-10311, qty 2) with .250 x .88 x 2.25" square hole spacers (CM-SP2, qty 6); 7/16 x 1.5" carriage bolts (part 10-10282, qty 4) with .250 x .88 x 2.25" square hole spacers (CM-SP2); 3/8 x 2" carriage bolts (part 10-10323, qty 2) with .250 x 1.00 x 2.00" square hole spacers (CM-SP18, qty 2) and .500 x 1.25 x 2.50" round hole spacers (CM-SP52, qty 2) on 2010 models only. All bolts are Grade 8, and all nuts are serrated flange nuts.
Carriage bolts are installed using the fishwire technique. The bolts and spacers are threaded through access holes in the frame rails before the hitch is raised into position. Once the hitch is in place, the bolts are secured with flange nuts from the outside of the frame rail.
All 7/16" hardware on CURT 11048 must be torqued to 70 ft/lbs.
All 3/8" hardware on CURT 11048 must be torqued to 45 ft/lbs.
Fasteners are installed loosely during the initial assembly steps (steps 4–6). All fasteners are torqued to their final specifications only in the final step: 3/8" hardware to 45 ft/lbs and 7/16" hardware to 70 ft/lbs.
1. Remove the rearmost rubber isolator on both mufflers (2010 models: also remove and relocate rear exhaust hangers). 2. Lower the exhaust by loosening the strap connecting the exhaust pipes and detaching them. 3. Fishwire the shorter 7/16 x 1" carriage bolts and SP2 spacers through the access holes. 4. Raise the hitch into position and loosely attach with 7/16" flange nuts. 5. Fishwire the 7/16 x 1.5" carriage bolts and SP2 spacers and loosely attach with 7/16" flange nuts. 6. (2010 models only) Fishwire the 3/8 x 2" carriage bolts and SP18 spacers, add SP52 spacers and exhaust hangers, and secure with 3/8" flange nuts. 7. Torque all hardware and reinstall the exhaust.
Yes. 2010 models require removal and relocation of the rear exhaust hangers, and require additional 3/8" hardware (carriage bolts, spacers, and flange nuts) to secure the relocated exhaust hangers. 2011 models do not require exhaust hanger relocation. On the driver side of 2010 models, one additional 7/16 x 1.5" carriage bolt and SP2 spacer are installed in the lower hole on the outside of the frame rail.
All non-trailer (wheel-less) loads applied to CURT 11048 must be supported by 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty. For further information, see the CURT catalog or visit www.curtmfg.com.
Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The hitch is rated for 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight, but your vehicle's manufacturer may specify a lower limit.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This maintenance is essential to safe operation.
CURT 11048 is designed for use with ballmount #55001 or #45501. Euro mount options are available: #45571 (1 7/8" ball) and #45572 (2" ball).

Part 56088 is a Curt Manufacturing T-connector trailer wiring harness system designed for Ford Mustang vehicles. It provides a connection point for trailer lighting by tapping into the vehicle's existing taillight wiring. The system includes a T-connector with colour-coded wires (yellow and green for each side), a black converter box, and a white ground wire.
Yes, part 56088 is designed specifically for Ford Mustang vehicles. The manual does not specify model years or generations, so contact Curt Manufacturing or your retailer to confirm fitment for your specific Mustang year and generation.
The kit includes a T-connector with yellow and green wire ends, a black converter box, a white ground wire with eyelet and screw, double-sided tape, and cable ties. You will need a screwdriver and a 3/32" drill bit (if drilling a ground hole). A separate CME-PCL-INS instruction sheet is included for battery power routing.
The manual does not explicitly state whether the battery must be disconnected. However, because the installation involves working with the vehicle's taillight wiring and routing a power wire from the battery, it is strongly recommended to disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning work. Refer to your vehicle's owner manual or consult a professional installer if you are unsure.
Open the trunk and remove the rear scuff panel by removing two plastic fasteners and two plastic wing nuts holding it in place. This will expose the taillight wiring harness on the driver's side.
On the driver's side, locate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness. Carefully separate the connectors without damaging the locking tabs. Insert the T-connector end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors, ensuring the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat this process on the passenger side using the green wire end of the T-connector.
After connecting the yellow wire end to the driver's side taillight connector, route the green wire end to the passenger side behind the removed scuff panel and connect it to the passenger-side taillight connector using the same method. Secure any loose parts of the T-connector with the cable ties provided.
Drilling is optional. The installation requires a ground wire connection. You may locate an existing screw with nut in the vehicle's frame to use as a grounding point, or you may drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white ground wire using the eyelet and screw provided in the kit. Before drilling, verify that no miscellaneous items are hidden behind or under the surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
If you choose to drill a ground hole, drill a 3/32" hole. Secure the white ground wire using the eyelet and screw provided in the kit. Before drilling, verify that no miscellaneous items are hidden behind or under the surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
Adhere the black converter box to the frame of the car using the double-sided tape provided in the kit. Ensure it is positioned securely and in a location where it will not be damaged or interfere with vehicle operation.
Route the black power wire from the battery to the black converter box as shown on the CME-PCL-INS sheet included with the kit. Route the black wire through any rubber grommet in the trunk area if applicable. The CME-PCL-INS sheet provides detailed instructions for this connection.
Before drilling, verify that miscellaneous items are not hidden behind or under any surface where you plan to drill. This is critical to avoid damage to vehicle components and personal injury.
The T-connector has a yellow wire and a green wire. The yellow wire connects to the driver's side taillight wiring, and the green wire connects to the passenger side taillight wiring. The connector also includes a white ground wire.
