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 Land Rover Discovery Sport (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 4,500 lbs. GTW and 675 lbs. TW. 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 Land Rover Discovery 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.

Yes. The manual states the hitch is designed for 2015-present Land Rover Discovery Sport, which includes 2024 models.
The CURT 13396 is rated for a maximum trailer weight of 4,500 lbs and tongue weight of 675 lbs when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower.
No. The manual explicitly states 'NO DRILLING REQUIRED' for this installation.
You will need: ratchet, torque wrench, 6-inch socket extension, 10mm socket, 18mm socket, 22mm socket, die grinder with cut-off wheel, masking tape or marker, tape measure, and safety glasses. The manual notes that using proper tools will greatly improve installation quality and reduce installation time.
The kit includes 6 flat washers (part 30-00131), 6 lock washers (part 30-00132), and 6 hex bolts (part 10-10471). These fasteners are used to secure the hitch to the frame.
Two people may be required to ease installation. The manual notes this as a helpful tip to improve the installation experience.
Professional installation takes approximately 90 minutes. Novice (DIY) installation takes approximately 45 minutes. These times assume you have the proper tools and follow all instructions.
The installation is rated as moderate to challenging. Part removal is easy, but the underbody panel and lower bumper cover fascia removal is moderate, and the lower exhaust work is challenging. The manual recommends reading all instructions thoroughly before beginning and suggests contacting an authorized CURT installer if you are hesitant to undertake the task.
Yes. You must remove the plastic underbody panel and lower bumper cover fascia to access the frame for hitch installation. This requires removing 8 nuts and 10 bolts using a 10mm socket.
Yes, you must remove the lower exhaust hangers. Remove 1 bolt attaching the rubber exhaust isolator brackets to the frame using a 10mm socket, lift the brackets off, and remove 1 rubber exhaust hanger further forward under the vehicle. The manual emphasizes that you must support the forward exhaust when removing hangers to prevent damage.
If present, there are 2 hex flange bolts on the passenger side of the frame. The manual instructs you to remove these using an 18mm socket and return them to the vehicle owner. These appear to be factory fasteners that must be removed to allow hitch installation.
Raise the hitch into position and loosely install the 6 supplied hex bolts with lock washers and flat washers using a 22mm socket. Do not fully tighten at this stage. Once all bolts are installed loosely, torque all 14mm fasteners to 88 lb-ft.
All 14mm fasteners must be torqued to 88 lb-ft. Install the bolts loosely first, then apply final torque once all 6 bolts are in place.
Yes. You must trim the plastic underbody panel as needed and trim the lower bumper cover fascia as shown in the installation diagram. The manual notes that trim dimensions are reference only. After trimming, reinstall both components and the exhaust.
The manual specifies using a die grinder with a cut-off wheel to trim the plastic underbody panel and lower bumper cover fascia. Masking tape or a marker is recommended to mark trim lines before cutting.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product. Additionally, you must support the forward exhaust when removing hangers to prevent it from dropping or being damaged. The manual also emphasizes reading all instructions thoroughly before beginning installation.
You must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. While the CURT 13396 is rated for 4,500 lbs trailer weight and 675 lbs tongue weight, your Land Rover Discovery Sport may have a lower manufacturer limit. Always consult your vehicle's owner manual and follow the more conservative limit.
After installation, verify that all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. The manual recommends periodically checking the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners remain tight and structural components remain in good condition during ownership.
The manual recommends periodically checking the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. While a specific interval is not provided, regular inspection before towing is a best practice.

You will need: flat blade screwdriver, wire stripper, wire crimper, cutting tool, and fishwire. If you need to drill a grounding point, you will also need a drill capable of making a 3/32" pilot hole.
Flat blade screwdriver, wire stripper, wire crimper, cutting tool, fishwire, and a drill for a 3/32" pilot hole (if drilling a grounding point).
Yes. The first step of installation is to locate the vehicle battery on the driver side under the hood and disconnect the negative battery terminal. The battery must remain disconnected until all wiring is complete and you are ready to reinstall items and reconnect the terminal in Step 12.
Yes, disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting installation and reconnect it only after all wiring is complete.
Open the vehicle tailgate. On the driver side, locate and remove the side access panel (B). Locate and remove the white fastener securing the taillight in place (C). Remove the taillight assembly by gently pulling rearward and out, taking care not to damage the alignment tabs (D). Behind the taillight, you will find the vehicle taillight wiring harness connectors. Separate these connectors from the taillight housing, taking care not to damage the locking tabs (E). Repeat this process on the passenger side.
After separating the vehicle taillight connectors, insert the custom wiring harness end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors on the driver side. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat on the passenger side using the harness end with the green wire. The harness is designed to sit between the original connectors, allowing the vehicle's taillight to function with the trailer wiring.
The driver side uses the harness end with the yellow wire. The passenger side uses the harness end with the green wire. The black power wire connects to the vehicle battery (routing shown on the included CME-PCL-INS sheet). A white ground wire is used for the grounding connection.
Drilling is not required if a suitable grounding point already exists near the taillight connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no suitable grounding point is available, you will need to drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
Only if no existing grounding point is available. If needed, drill a 3/32" pilot hole. Always check for hidden items before drilling.
If you need to drill a grounding point, drill a 3/32" pilot hole. The area should be free of rust, dirt and paint before securing the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw.
In the space directly beneath the driver side taillight, pull back on the foam block to allow access. Route the wiring harness end with the green wire underneath the vehicle to the passenger side. Continue up the opening behind the rear bumper fascia and taillight assembly. When routing wires, be careful to avoid any hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank or any other areas that might pinch or break the wire.
Locate a flat, clean surface that is out of the path of spray and debris from the rear wheels and road. Adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape. Failure to mount the box in a protected area can cause loss of warranty, product failure, overheating and potential fire.
Mount it on a flat, clean surface away from spray and debris from the rear wheels and road, using the provided double-sided tape.
