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 Toyota Prius C (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 Toyota Prius C (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 11484 is designed for 2012-Present Toyota Prius C Hatchback models. Before purchasing, verify your vehicle matches this specification and confirm your vehicle's manufacturer towing capacity, as you must never exceed it.
The CURT 11484 is rated for a maximum trailer weight of 2,000 lbs and a tongue weight of 200 lbs when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower.
The CURT 11484 is designed for use with CURT ballmount #45521. Euro mount options are also available: #45571 (1-7/8" ball) and #45572 (2" ball).
You will need: a ratchet, torque wrench, 12mm socket, 13mm socket, screwdriver, and safety glasses. A torque wrench is essential because all M8 hardware must be torqued to exactly 23 ft-lbs.
No, the CURT 11484 requires no drilling. It uses existing M8 weldnuts on the frame rails and existing bolt holes on the bumper supports.
You must remove the center underbody panel (5 plunger-style fasteners) and the fascia tabs from the trunk pan (2 plunger-style fasteners). You must also remove 6 bolts that secure the bumper supports to the frame. Save the fascia tab fasteners for reinstallation; return the underbody panel fasteners and bumper support bolts to the owner.
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.
1. Remove the center underbody panel (5 plunger fasteners); return fasteners and panel to owner. 2. Remove 2 plunger fasteners securing fascia tabs to trunk pan; save these fasteners. 3. Remove 6 bolts securing bumper supports to frame (support bumper while removing). 4. Gently flex fascia tabs back and raise hitch into position. 5. Secure hitch to frame rail using supplied M8 hex bolts and 3/8" conical washers. 6. Torque all M8 hardware to 23 ft-lbs. 7. Secure fascia tabs using fasteners removed in step 2.
All M8 hex bolts must be torqued to 23 ft-lbs. Use a torque wrench to ensure proper tightness, as under- or over-torquing can affect hitch performance and safety.
The CURT 11484 includes 6 M8×1.25×30 hex cap screws (HHCS), class 10.9, zinc-plated (part number 10-10440) and 6 3/8" conical washers (part number 30-00148). These are used to secure the hitch to the frame rail weldnuts.
All non-trailer (wheel-less) loads applied to the 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 www.curtmfg.com for further information on stabilizing straps.
Wear safety glasses at all times during installation. Support the bumper when removing the 6 fasteners that secure the bumper supports to the frame to prevent the bumper from falling. Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection helps maintain safe operation and prevents loosening due to vibration and use.
Yes, the CURT 11484 complies with safety specifications and requirements for connecting devices and towing systems of the state of New York, V.E.S.C. Regulation V-5 and SAE J684.

The Curt 56275 is a custom wiring harness that connects to your vehicle's taillight wiring to provide trailer lighting control. It includes a converter box and a 4-flat connector for trailer use.
The kit includes the custom wiring harness with green and yellow wire ends, a black converter box, a white ground wire with ring terminal and provided screw, a 4-flat connector with dust cover, double-sided tape, cable ties, and a reference sheet (CME-PCL-INS) for power wire routing.
Signal Circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side. Tail/Running Circuits are rated 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.
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.
You will need a 10mm socket, ratchet, panel trim removal tool, wire stripper, wire crimper, and cutting tool.
Yes. You must disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation. The battery is located behind the push fasteners on the trim panel below the passenger rear seat. Press the center of the retainer inward to release the fastener, disengage the three clips and guides on the back of the cover, and disconnect the negative terminal.
The black converter box should be adhered to a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight using the provided double-sided tape. The area should be clean and flat to ensure proper adhesion.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no existing screw is available, 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 provided screw.
Drilling may be required. You need to locate a grounding point near the taillight connector. If an existing screw with nut is available in the vehicle frame, no drilling is needed. If not, you must drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided ground screw. Before drilling, check for hidden items behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
Remove the side trim panel and 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 (green wire for passenger side, yellow wire for driver side) between the separated connectors. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
Start on the passenger side. Remove the side trim panel, locate and separate the taillight connectors, and insert the harness end with the green wire between them. Secure the white ground wire. Then route the harness end with the yellow wire to the driver side behind the removed scuff panels and repeat the connector connection steps on the driver side.
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 installation steps must be followed to ensure proper function. Once installed, test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer.
Yes. You must open the vehicle trunk and remove all trunk floor coverings before proceeding with the installation.
To reinstall the 12-volt battery cover, ensure the clips and guides on the back of the cover are engaging properly. Push out on the center part of the clips, insert the clips, and push the center of the clip to fasten the trim panel. Then reconnect the negative battery terminal and install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
