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 Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 lbs. TW. 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 Kia Sorento (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 Curt 56328 fits Kia Sorento models excluding the SX trim. It is designed for SUVs, mini and full-sized vans. If your Sorento is an SX model, this harness is not compatible. Check your vehicle's trim level in your owner's manual or on your vehicle's documentation before purchasing.
The Curt 56328 has two amperage ratings: Signal circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side, and tail/running circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total. You must not exceed these ratings 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 need a Phillips screwdriver. If you need to drill a grounding point, a drill with a 3/32" bit is required. All other fasteners and hardware, including double-sided tape, cable ties, a ground screw, and a 4-flat dust cover, are provided with the harness.
Yes. You must disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation. This is a required safety step. Reconnect the battery only after all installation steps are complete and all items have been reinstalled.
Remove both taillight assemblies by removing the two Phillips head screws holding each one in place. Separate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connectors from the taillight housing. Insert the custom wiring harness end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors on the driver side, ensuring 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 during removal or installation.
Route the custom wiring harness end with the green wire down through the opening under the driver side taillight, over to the passenger side along the backside of the bumper, and up through the opening under the passenger side taillight. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
Drilling may be required for the ground connection. You must locate a suitable grounding point near the taillight 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. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the taillight connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame, or drill a 3/32" pilot hole if needed. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint. Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw. A suitable grounding point should be flat and clean.
Mount the black converter box on a flat, clean surface that is out of the path of spray and debris from the rear wheels and road. Use the provided double-sided tape to adhere it. Mounting the box in a protected area is critical—failure to do so can cause loss of warranty, product failure, overheating and potential fire.
Route the black power wire from the vehicle battery to the black converter box. The manual references an included CME-PCL-INS sheet for detailed routing instructions. Route the black wire through any rubber grommet in the trunk area if applicable. Consult the CME-PCL-INS sheet for the specific routing path for your vehicle.
When not in use, roll up the 4-flat connector and store it in a convenient, out-of-the-way location. When in use, route it to the center of the vehicle. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
After installation, 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 functions properly. If testing reveals no function, refer to the troubleshooting section or contact the manufacturer.
The battery connection must be fuse protected with a maximum 10 amp fuse. Do not exceed this rating. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. The fuse must not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
