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 Fusion, Lincoln MKZ and Mercury Milan (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 Fusion (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 exhaust must be lowered and modified. Remove the three rearmost exhaust hangers from their rubber isolators and support the exhaust to prevent damage. Remove the rearmost rubber isolators from the frame-mounted hangers, then bend each exhaust hanger down 3/8" using a box end wrench for leverage. After hitch installation, raise the exhaust and reinstall the rubber isolators.
Yes. The access holes near the rear panel must be enlarged to allow insertion of the 1/2" carriage bolts into the frame rails. A die grinder is required for this modification. The exact enlargement dimensions are not specified in the manual beyond the visual diagram.
Fishwire is a technique used to route hardware through the frame rails where direct access is not possible. The manual references "Fishwire Technique" and "Reverse Pull Fishwire Technique" diagrams in Steps 3 and 4, but detailed instructions for performing these techniques are not provided in the text. Refer to the diagrams on the manual or contact Curt Technical Support at 1-877-287-8634 for detailed guidance.

Yes, the Curt 56048 is designed for Ford Fusion passenger cars. The harness connects behind the driver and passenger side taillight housings inside the trunk.
The harness is rated for Signal Circuits at 3.0 amps per side and Tail/Running Circuits at 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed these ratings or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower, as exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
You will need a Phillips screwdriver, flat blade screwdriver, and panel trim removal tool. A 3/32" drill bit may be needed if a suitable existing grounding point is not available.
The manual does not explicitly state whether the battery must be disconnected. However, the instructions reference routing the black power wire from the vehicle battery in Step 7, and a 10-amp fuse is required for the battery connection. Consult your vehicle owner's manual or the included CME-PCL-INS sheet for battery disconnection requirements.
1. Open the trunk and remove floor coverings and rear scuff panel. 2. On the driver side, locate the taillight wiring connectors and separate them. 3. Insert the harness end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors. 4. Secure the white ground wire to a suitable grounding point. 5. Route the harness end with the green wire to the passenger side and repeat steps 2–3. 6. Adhere the black converter box inside the vehicle near the taillight using double-sided tape. 7. Route the black power wire from the battery as shown on the included CME-PCL-INS sheet. 8. Route the 4-flat connector to the center of the vehicle and out of the trunk when in use; roll up and store in the trunk when not in use. 9. Reinstall all removed items and install the 4-flat dust cover.
Remove the plastic fasteners securing the rear scuff panel, then pull out on the bottom and pull up. Take care not to damage the alignment tabs on the back of the panel.
Pull back the felt liner to locate the vehicle taillight wiring harness connectors. Separate the connectors from the taillight housing, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Insert the custom wiring harness end (yellow wire for driver side, green wire for passenger side) between the separated connectors. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no suitable point exists, drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint. Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw.
Drilling may be required. If a suitable existing grounding point (such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame) is not available near the connector, you will need to drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided grounding screw. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
The pilot hole should be 3/32" in diameter.
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.
The yellow wire is used on the driver side, the green wire on the passenger side, and the white wire is the ground wire. The black power wire connects to the vehicle battery. The 4-flat connector is routed to the center of the vehicle and out of the trunk when in use.
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. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
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 rear scuff panel and trunk floor coverings. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
