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 Ford Transit Connect (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 525 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 4,000 lbs. WD and 525 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 Ford Transit Connect (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, the 14 - 23 Ford Transit Connect Curt 2", Class 3 Trailer Tow Hitch + 4-flat Wiring Kit 13167 (Part #CHW-1298) is designed to fit the 2014-2023 Ford Transit Connect.
The 14 - 23 Ford Transit Connect Curt 2", Class 3 Trailer Tow Hitch + 4-flat Wiring Kit 13167 (Part #CHW-1298) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, CURT part number 13167 is designed for 2014-present Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van models. Before purchasing, verify your vehicle matches this description and confirm your vehicle's towing capacity with your owner's manual, as you must not exceed the manufacturer's recommended limit.
When used as a weight-carrying hitch, the 13167 supports 3500 lbs trailer weight and 525 lbs tongue weight. When used as a weight-distribution hitch, it supports 4000 lbs trailer weight and 525 lbs tongue weight. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower than these ratings.
The hitch weight is 28 lbs.
You will need a ratchet, a torque wrench, and 11/16" and 3/4" sockets. The manual notes that using proper tools will greatly improve the quality of the install and reduce installation time. Safety glasses should be worn at all times during installation.
Two people may be required to ease installation, though the manual does not state this is mandatory. If you are hesitant to undertake the task on your own, CURT recommends contacting an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance. You can reach technical support at 877-287-8634.
Installation involves three steps: (1) Reverse fishwire 7/16" hardware to forward mounting holes in the frame through access holes on both sides, and fishwire 1/2" hardware to rear mounting holes in the frame on both sides. (2) Raise the hitch into position and loosely secure with hardware, aligning the hitch properly. (3) Torque 7/16" hardware to 70 lb-ft and 1/2" hardware to 110 lb-ft. The manual recommends reading all instructions thoroughly before beginning.
Torque the 7/16" hardware to 70 lb-ft and the 1/2" hardware to 110 lb-ft. These torque values are applied after the hitch is raised into position and loosely secured with hardware.
The hitch includes: 2× 1/2-13 UNC Grade 8 bolts (1-3/4" long, part 10-10272), 2× 1/2-13 UNC Grade 8 serrated-flange nuts (part 20-00062), 2× 7/16-14 UNC Grade 8 bolts (1-3/4" long, part 10-10314), 2× 7/16-14 UNC Grade 8 serrated-flange nuts (part 20-00103), 2× .250 × 1.00 × 3.00" square spacers (part CM-SP6), 2× .250 × .88 × 2.25" square spacers (part CM-SP2), 2× 1/2" fishwire (part 1_2 FISHWIRE), and 2× 7/16" fishwire (part 7_16 FISHWIRE).
Fishwire is a flexible tool used to route fasteners through frame access holes during installation. The 13167 requires fishwire installation: reverse fishwire 7/16" hardware to forward mounting holes in the frame, and fishwire 1/2" hardware to rear mounting holes in the frame. This method allows fasteners to be threaded through the frame without direct line-of-sight access.
Yes. The installation uses hardware access holes on both the driver side and passenger side frame rails. The 7/16" hardware is reverse fishwired to forward mounting holes, and the 1/2" hardware is fishwired to rear mounting holes through these access holes.
Safety glasses should be worn at all times while installing this product. Additionally, never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity when using the hitch. If you are hesitant to undertake the installation on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection helps maintain the integrity and safety of the installation.

Yes, the Curt 56218 is designed for Ford Transit Connect vehicles (SUVs, Mini & Full-Sized Vans category). The harness connects to the vehicle's existing taillight wiring connectors on both driver and passenger sides.
The Curt 56218 has a maximum rating of 3.0 amps per side for signal circuits and 6.0 amps total for tail/running circuits. 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 this can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
Yes, you must disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation. This is the first step in the installation process and is essential for safety.
You will need a Phillips screwdriver and a flat blade screwdriver. The manual also recommends having a test light or properly wired trailer available to test the harness for proper function after installation.
1. Remove the plastic access cover behind the rear cargo doors to locate the vehicle taillight wiring harness connectors. 2. Separate the connectors from the taillight housing, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. 3. Insert the custom wiring harness end (yellow wire for driver side, green wire for passenger side) between the separated connectors. 4. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat this process on both the driver and passenger sides.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the taillight connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no suitable point exists, 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 for the ground wire connection. You may need to drill a 3/32" pilot hole if no suitable existing screw with nut is available in the vehicle frame near the taillight connector. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
The black converter box is part of the Curt 56218 harness system. It should be adhered to a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight using the provided double-sided tape.
The black power wire from the vehicle battery should be routed according to the included CME-PCL-INS sheet, which provides detailed routing instructions. This sheet is included with the harness and must be consulted for proper battery connection and fuse installation.
When not in use, roll up the 4-flat connector and store it in a convenient, out-of-the-way location inside the trunk. When in use, route the 4-flat to the center of the vehicle and out of the trunk. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
Test the harness for proper function using a test light or by connecting a properly wired trailer. All installation steps must be followed to ensure the wiring harness functions properly before testing.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a maximum of 10 amps. Exceeding this rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
Open the rear cargo doors and remove the scuff panel by pulling out on the bottom and then up. Take care not to damage the alignment tabs on the back. After routing the wiring harness and completing the taillight connections, reinstall the scuff panel.
Yes, after reinstalling all items removed during installation, reconnect the negative battery terminal. Also install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
