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 (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 6,000 lbs. GTW and 900 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 8,000 lbs. WD and 900 lbs. WDTW. 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 Borrego, Hyundai Santa Fe and Hyundai Santa Fe Sport (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 signal circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side. The tail and 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 tail and running circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total. The signal circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side. 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 following tools are required: ratchet, 10mm socket, Phillips screwdriver, flat blade screwdriver, and panel trim removal tool. You will also need a test light or properly wired trailer to test the harness after installation.
The harness includes: a provided screw for the ground wire connection, a ring terminal for the white ground wire, double-sided tape for mounting the converter box, cable ties for securing loose wires, and a 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion. A separate CME-PCL-INS sheet is included with battery power wire routing information.
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. Do not exceed the product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
Drilling may be required for the ground wire connection. The manual instructs you to locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no suitable existing point is available, you may drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint before securing the white ground wire with the ring terminal.
If drilling is necessary for the ground wire connection, drill a 3/32" pilot hole. This is only required if no suitable existing screw with nut is available in the vehicle frame near the connector. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint before installation.
Yes. On the Hyundai Santa Fe, you must pass the wiring harness end through the grommet from the body panel and cut a slit in it. Run the wiring harness end with the yellow wire through the slit and pass the connectors through the hole, then seat the grommet in the hole it was removed from.
Yes. On the Kia Borrego, you must make a small slit in the grommet. Route the custom wiring harness end with the yellow wire out from inside the vehicle through the grommet hole, insert it between the separated connectors, then run the wire through the slit and re-install the grommet into the opening.
The black converter box must be mounted inside the vehicle or in a protected area, located on a flat spot near the taillight. Adhere it using the provided double-sided tape. The converter module must be mounted in a protected area; failure to do so can cause loss of warranty or product failure, including lamp malfunction, overheating or potential fire.
When in use, route the 4-flat to the rear of the vehicle and out the tailgate. When not in use, roll it up and store in a convenient, out-of-the-way location. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties. On the Kia Borrego, route the 4-flat out from under the driver side rear trim panel and up between the side of the rear storage compartment and the rear trim panel.
On the Hyundai Santa Fe, the wiring harness end with the yellow wire connects to the driver side taillight, and the wiring harness end with the green wire connects to the passenger side taillight. Route the yellow wire end to the driver side first, then route the green wire end to the passenger side behind the removed scuff panel.
On the Kia Borrego, the wiring harness end with the yellow wire connects to the driver side taillight, and the wiring harness end with the green wire connects to the passenger side taillight. Start on the driver side with the yellow wire, then route the green wire end to the passenger side.
The ground wire is white. It must be secured using the ring terminal and provided screw to a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame, or to a 3/32" pilot hole drilled in a rust-free, clean area.
The power wire is black. It must be routed from the vehicle's battery as shown on the included CME-PCL-INS sheet. The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse.
Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury. This is especially important when drilling the 3/32" pilot hole for the ground wire screw.
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. Do not exceed the product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
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 will function properly. After testing, install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
Reinstall all items removed during installation, including: taillight housings, rear scuff panel, rear access panels, foam patches, wire grommets, rear cargo compartment, cargo loops, rear trim panels, jack and jack mounting bracket (on Kia), and any trunk floor coverings or storage compartment items. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
