Whatever the next checkpoint is on your adventure -- whether it's getting your bike on the trail before sunrise or making it to the campground before dark -- CURT class 2 hitches let you Bring It with confidence. These receiver hitches are made to handle most light-duty towing applications and offer a custom fit for your vehicle. Typically used on full-size cars, crossovers, compact SUVs, minivans or even compact pickup trucks, a CURT class 2 trailer hitch complements the design of smaller vehicles. This particular class 2 hitch is made to be a custom hitch for certain years of the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and RVR (to verify vehicle compatibility, see application info). It offers a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 lbs. TW. Class 2 trailer hitches can typically be used to tow a variety of lightweight trailers, such as a small utility trailer, small fishing boat trailer or popup camper (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component). They are also perfect for adding cargo space to your vehicle with a bike rack or cargo carrier. This class 2 hitch features a 1-1/4" receiver tube to accept a ball mount shank or other hitch-mounted accessory. For safety, it is tested in accordance with SAE J684. A custom trailer hitch design requires extra care, and as such, CURT class 2 hitches are engineered using real vehicles and hands-on research. We use high-strength steel, robotic welding and rigorous testing to produce hitches that are built to fit your lifestyle. To ensure that each hitch will be a reliable extension of your vehicle, we also finish our hitches in a co-curing of liquid A-coat and black powder coat, giving them long-lasting rust and wear resistance.
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 Mitsubishi RVR, Outlander Sport and Lancer (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 part number 12048 is designed for the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport/RVR Crossover. The manual does not specify whether it fits other model years of the Outlander Sport, so contact CURT technical support at 877-287-8634 to confirm fitment for other years.
The CURT 12048 is rated for a maximum of 3,500 lbs trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. You must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
You will need: torque wrench, ratchet, 14mm socket, 17mm socket, 19mm socket, 3/4" socket, 6" extension, aviation shears, and a rotary tool (such as a Dremel). Safety glasses should be worn at all times during installation.
No, drilling is not required. The hitch uses existing holes in the frame rails. However, on 2020 model year and newer vehicles, fascia trimming is required using a rotary tool or aviation shears.
Yes. Step 1 requires you to remove three bolts and the existing tow loop from the passenger side frame rail. You should return these bolts and tow loop to the vehicle owner.
Temporary lowering of the charcoal canister on the driver side will ease installation, but it is not strictly required. The manual notes that you will need to reach between the bumper cover and rear wheel well to access the holes in the side of the frame rail on the driver side.
Two people may be required to ease installation. The manual recommends reading all instructions thoroughly and using proper tools to improve installation quality and reduce time required.
Yes. On 2020 model year and newer vehicles, fascia trimming is required. Using a rotary tool (Dremel) or aviation shears, trim the fascia on both the driver and passenger side of the vehicle as shown in the trim diagram. The dimensions are approximate; trim as required for proper fit.
All 10mm hardware (M10-1.25 x 25mm bolts) must be torqued to 48 ft-lbs.
All 1/2" hardware (1/2-13 UNC carriage bolts and 1/2" hex flange nuts) must be torqued to 110 ft-lbs.
The kit includes: 2 M10x1.25x25mm hex head cap screws (part 10-10373), 2 3/8" conical toothed washers (part 30-00148), 4 1/2-13 UNC serrated flange nuts (part 20-00062), 4 1/2-13 UNC x 4-1/2" carriage bolts (part 10-10297), and 2 .250" spacer plates (part CM-12048-SP).
First, loosely secure the hitch with 1/2" hex flange nuts (step 4). Then align the bottom tabs of the hitch with the weldnuts in the frame rails and secure with M10-1.25 x 25mm bolts and 3/8" conical toothed washers (step 5). Finally, torque all 10mm hardware to 48 ft-lbs and all 1/2" hardware to 110 ft-lbs (step 7).
For ease of installation, raise the driver side into position first, then raise the passenger side.
All non-trailer (wheel-less) loads applied to this hitch must be supported by CURT 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty. See the CURT catalog or visit www.curtmfg.com for further information.

Yes, the Curt 56127 is compatible with Mitsubishi Lancer sedans and Mitsubishi Lancer hatchbacks. It is also compatible with Mitsubishi Outlander Sport models with LED taillights only, and Mitsubishi RVR (Canada only). Confirm your vehicle model and taillight type before purchasing.
No. The Curt 56127 is compatible with Mitsubishi Outlander Sport models with LED taillights only. It is not rated for non-LED taillight configurations.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected at 10-amp maximum. Signal circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side, and tail/running circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed the product rating or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating, and potential fire.
You will need a Phillips screwdriver, a flat blade screwdriver, and a panel trim removal tool. A 3/32" drill bit is also required to create a pilot hole for the ground wire screw (unless a suitable existing screw with nut is available in the vehicle frame).
The yellow wire end connects on the driver side. Insert it between the separated taillight connectors behind the driver side access panel, ensuring the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Then reinstall the grommet and taillight.
The green wire end connects on the passenger side. Route it behind the removed scuff panel and repeat the connection steps on the passenger side, inserting it between the separated taillight connectors and ensuring 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. The area must be free of rust, dirt, and paint. Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and the provided screw.
Drilling may be required. You must locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no suitable point exists, you will need to drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided ground screw. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
Locate a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight and adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape.
When in use, route the 4-flat to the center of the vehicle and out of the trunk. When not in use, roll it up and store 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. This confirms that all connections are secure and the harness is operating correctly.
The Curt 56127 includes the custom wiring harness with yellow and green wire ends, a white ground wire with ring terminal, a black converter box, a provided ground screw, double-sided tape for mounting the converter box, cable ties for securing loose wires, and a 4-flat dust cover. The manual also references an included CME-PCL-INS sheet for battery routing details.
Open the vehicle tailgate and remove the two Phillips screws securing each taillight assembly. Locate and remove the grommet behind each taillight where the vehicle taillight wiring passes through from inside the cabin to the taillight.
Inside the grommet hole, locate the vehicle taillight wiring harness connectors. They will be similar to those on the custom wiring harness. Separate the connectors from the taillight housing, taking care not to damage the locking tabs.
Remove the cargo area floor covering and the spare tire cover. Remove the two fasteners securing the rear scuff panel and pull it out at the bottom and then up, taking care not to damage the alignment tabs on the back. Remove the screws holding the rear trim panels in place and partially remove the driver and passenger side rear trim panels by pulling outward.
