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 Equinox, GMC Terrain, Pontiac Torrent 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 Chevy Equinox and GMC Terrain (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.

No. The Curt 56094 is designed for Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models without a tow package only. If your vehicle has a factory tow package, this harness is not compatible. Check your vehicle documentation or contact the vehicle manufacturer to confirm whether your Equinox or Terrain has a tow package.
Yes. The Curt 56094 is compatible with GMC Terrain models without a tow package. Verify your vehicle does not have a factory tow package before installation.
You will need a panel trim removal tool. The manual also references the need to drill a 3/32" pilot hole if a suitable existing grounding point is not available, so a drill with a 3/32" bit is recommended. A test light or properly wired trailer is needed to test the harness after installation.
Yes. You must disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation. This is the first step in the installation process. Reconnect the battery only after the taillights have been reinstalled and all wiring connections are complete.
After removing the taillights and locating the vehicle taillight wiring harness connectors behind the taillight housing, insert the custom wiring harness end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat this process on the passenger side using the harness end with the green wire. Take care not to damage the locking tabs when separating the original connectors.
Route the custom wiring harness end with the green wire down through the opening under the driver side taillight, then along the back of the bumper to the passenger side. When in use, route the 4-flat connector to the center of the vehicle. When not in use, roll up and store in a convenient, out-of-the-way location. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
Not necessarily. First, locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no suitable existing point is available, you may drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury. The grounding area should be free of rust, dirt and paint.
Drill a 3/32" pilot hole if a suitable existing grounding point is not available. The area should be free of rust, dirt and paint before securing the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw.
The manual does not specify the product rating. However, you must not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding the rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. Check your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for the tow vehicle lamp load rating.
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 manual emphasizes that testing is required to confirm correct installation.
When not in use, roll up the 4-flat connector and store it in a convenient, out-of-the-way location. This helps protect the connector and keeps it organized when the trailer is not connected.
Yes. A 4-flat dust cover is provided with the harness. Install it after reconnecting the negative battery terminal to help prevent corrosion.
Two fasteners secure each taillight assembly in place. You will need to remove these fasteners to access the taillight wiring connectors during installation.
