All Hardware and Installation Instructions Included!
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 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ (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 Lincoln MKZ (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 12091 is designed for 2013-present Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans. Before purchasing, verify your vehicle year and model match this range. If you have a different body style or year, contact CURT technical support at 877-287-8634 to confirm fitment.
The CURT 12091 is rated for a maximum trailer weight of 3500 lbs and a tongue weight of 350 lbs when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower. Check your vehicle's owner manual for the final towing limit.
Non-trailer loads (wheel-less loads) applied to this hitch must be supported by CURT stabilizing straps, part number 18050. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty. See the CURT catalog or visit www.curtmfg.com for information on part 18050.
The CURT 12091 is designed for use with CURT euro mount part 45562 (2" ball) or part 45561 (1 7/8" ball), paired with optional ball mount part D-45501 or 45501. Verify compatibility with your specific ball mount before purchase.
You will need: 7mm and 10mm sockets, 3/4" socket, ratchet, torque wrench, and safety glasses. A socket set, ratchet, and torque wrench are essential for proper installation and fastener torquing to specification.
No, drilling is not required. The CURT 12091 uses existing access holes in the vehicle frame rails to route the fasteners through. The installation uses fishwiring to thread the bolts and spacer blocks through these factory access holes.
Two people may be required to ease installation. While one person may be able to complete the installation, having a second person will help, particularly when raising the hitch into position and securing it with fasteners.
You must remove the lower rear air deflector (lower body fascia) from your vehicle. This requires removing 4 pieces of 10mm hardware and 6 pieces of 7mm hardware. The fascia piece and hardware should be returned to the customer after installation.
Fishwiring is a technique used to thread the 1/2" bolts and spacer blocks through the access holes in both sides of the vehicle frame rail. The manual includes 1/2" fishwire (part 1_2 FISHWIRE, qty 4) for this purpose. This allows the bolts to be routed through the frame without drilling new holes.
All 1/2" hardware (bolts and flange nuts) must be torqued to 110 lb-ft. Use a calibrated torque wrench to achieve this specification. This is a critical step for safe hitch operation.
The kit includes: 4 bolts (part 10-10287, 1/2-13 UNC, 1-1/2", grade 8, zinc-plated), 4 serrated flange nuts (part 20-00062, 1/2-13 UNC, grade 8, zinc-plated), 4 spacer blocks (part CM-SP10, 0.250 x 1.00 x 2.50" square hole), and 4 pieces of 1/2" fishwire (part 1_2 FISHWIRE). All fasteners are grade 8 and zinc-plated.
1. Remove 4 pieces of 10mm hardware and 6 pieces of 7mm hardware from the lower body fascia. 2. Remove the lower body fascia and return it and hardware to the customer. 3. Fishwire the 1/2" bolts and spacer blocks through the access holes on both sides of the frame rail. 4. Raise the hitch into position and secure with 1/2" flange nuts. 5. Torque all 1/2" hardware to 110 lb-ft.
After installation, verify that all 1/2" fasteners have been torqued to 110 lb-ft. Periodically check the hitch to ensure all fasteners remain tight and all structural components are sound. Perform these checks regularly throughout the life of the hitch.
You should periodically check the hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify an exact interval, but regular inspection before towing and after extended use is recommended to maintain safe operation.

Yes, the Curt 56258 is designed for all Lincoln MKZ models, including hybrid versions. The installation procedure differs slightly for hybrid models: the vehicle battery is located in the trunk on the driver side, rather than under the hood. All other installation steps remain the same.
Yes. The Curt 56258 is compatible with all Lincoln MKZ models, including hybrid versions. The only difference is the battery location: hybrid models have the battery in the trunk on the driver side, while non-hybrid models have it under the hood on the driver side.
The Curt 56258 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. The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse. Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower, as exceeding the rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
You will need a panel trim removal tool. Depending on your vehicle's existing ground points, you may also need a drill to create a 3/32" pilot hole for the ground screw. All other fasteners and hardware, including the provided screw, double-sided tape, cable ties and 4-flat dust cover, are included with the harness.
Yes. You must disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation. On non-hybrid Lincoln MKZ models, the battery is located on the driver side under the hood. On hybrid models, the battery is located on the driver side in the trunk. Reconnect the battery only after all installation steps are complete.
The yellow wire end of the custom wiring harness connects to the driver side taillight connectors, and the green wire end connects to the passenger side taillight connectors. Both are inserted between the separated vehicle taillight wiring harness connectors, located behind the trunk scuff panels. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
The white ground wire must be secured to a suitable grounding point near the taillight connector. You can use an existing screw with nut in the vehicle's frame, or drill a 3/32" pilot hole and use the provided screw. The area should be free of rust, dirt and paint. Secure the wire using the ring terminal and provided screw.
Mount the black converter box on a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight using the provided double-sided tape. The area should be clean and dry to ensure the tape adheres properly.
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 to prevent tangling and damage.
Drilling may be required for the ground wire installation. You will need to locate a suitable grounding point near the taillight connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle's frame. If no suitable existing point is available, you must drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided ground screw. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse. Do not exceed this rating, as exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
Once installed, test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer. All installation steps must be followed to ensure the wiring harness will function properly.
After installation is complete, reinstall all items removed during the install, including trunk floor coverings, storage trays, scuff panels and trunk liner. Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to prevent corrosion. Test the harness for proper function using a test light or by connecting a properly wired trailer.
