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 Hyundai Accent and Kia Rio (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 Kia Rio sedan (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.

Torque all 3/8" fasteners to 45 lb-ft and all 7/16" fasteners to 70 lb-ft.
Fishwire is a technique used to route carriage bolts and spacers through the vehicle frame access holes. For the forward hole on the driver side, fishwire (1) 7/16" carriage bolt and (1) CM-SP2 spacer through the access hole. For each side access hole, reverse fishwire (1) 7/16" carriage bolt and (1) CM-SP2 spacer. The access hole location varies depending on vehicle model. Refer to the installation walkthrough diagrams for the specific technique.
Two types of spacers are used: (3) .250 x .88 x 2.25" square hole spacers (CM-SP2) are used with the 7/16" carriage bolts through the frame rails, and (1) .188 x 1.50 x 3.00" round hole spacer (CM-SP34) is installed with the 3/8" hardware onto the vehicle tow loop.
No. After raising the hitch back into position and installing the carriage bolts and spacers, loosely install the (3) 7/16" hex flange nuts. Do not fully tighten them until step 6, when you torque all 3/8" fasteners to 45 lb-ft and all 7/16" fasteners to 70 lb-ft.
1. Remove rubber plugs from frame holes if present. 2. Raise hitch into position with tow loop mounting tab resting on tow hook; mark and drill forward hole on driver side (15/32" bit) if required; remove hitch. 3. Fishwire carriage bolts and spacers through access holes. 4. Raise hitch back into position and loosely install hex flange nuts. 5. Install 3/8" hardware with spacer onto vehicle tow loop. 6.

Yes, the Curt 56157 T-Connector is designed for the Kia Rio Sedan. The manual provides step-by-step installation instructions specific to this vehicle model.
The Curt 56157 is a T-Connector wiring harness for the Kia Rio Sedan. It allows you to connect trailer lighting to your vehicle's existing taillight circuits. The harness includes a converter box and connectors that integrate with your vehicle's factory taillight wiring.
The manual does not specify whether battery disconnection is required. Contact Curt Technical Support at 1-877-287-8634 for guidance on this step.
You must remove the trunk floor coverings, the rear scuff panel (by pulling out at the bottom then up), and the plastic fasteners holding the felt trunk liner in place on both sides of the trunk. These items are reinstalled after installation is complete.
On the driver's side, pull out the trunk liner to locate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connectors. Separate the connector from the taillight housing carefully, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Insert the T-Connector 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 T-Connector end with the green wire.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the taillight connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle's frame. If no suitable point exists, drill a 3/32" hole and secure the eyelet of the white ground wire using the screw provided with the kit.
Drilling is required only if a suitable existing grounding point (such as a screw with nut in the vehicle's frame) is not available. If drilling is necessary, you will drill a 3/32" hole to secure the white ground wire eyelet using the provided screw.
Drill a 3/32" hole to secure the eyelet of the white ground wire using the screw provided.
Locate a flat spot in the trunk area and adhere the black converter box to the frame of the vehicle using the double-sided tape provided in the kit.
Route the T-Connector end with the green wire to the passenger side behind the trunk liner and removed scuff panel. Use the provided cable ties to secure any loose wires. When in use, route the 4-flat connector out from under the felt trunk liner to the center of the vehicle. When not in use, roll it up and store in an out-of-the-way location.
Do not exceed the product's load rating or the tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower. The Curt 56157 has the following limits: Signal Circuits: 3.0 Amps; Tail/Running Light Circuits: 7.5 Amps. Exceeding these limits can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potentially fire. Check your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for your vehicle's lamp load rating.
Before drilling, verify that miscellaneous items hidden behind or under any surface will not be damaged. This precaution avoids damage to vehicle components and personal injury.
