All Hardware and Installation Instructions Included!
Whatever the next item is on your to-do list -- whether it's arriving at the jobsite before dawn or getting your travel trailer set up in time to see the sunset -- CURT class 4 trailer hitches offer greater towing power to let you Bring It. These custom receiver hitches are built to tackle bigger jobs and bolder adventures, all while giving you a custom fit for your vehicle. Class 4 hitches are available for a variety of makes and models, from pickup trucks and SUVs to full-size and commercial vans. This particular class 4 hitch fits certain years of the Ford Transit-150, Transit-250 and Transit-350 (to verify vehicle compatibility, see application info). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 8,000 lbs. GTW and 800 lbs. TW. It can also accept a weight distributing hitch, offering a maximum WD capacity of 10,000 lbs. and a WDTW of 1,000 lbs. CURT class 4 tow hitches are as much suited for work as they are for play. With their high load capacities, they are typically used for towing larger trailers, including everything from a double-axle utility trailer or livestock trailer to a full-length camper or large boat trailer (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component). All CURT class 4 receiver hitches come with a 2" receiver tube opening and all the necessary hardware for a complete installation. From light-duty to heavy-duty, every CURT custom hitch is engineered to be vehicle-specific, using actual vehicles to create the optimal design. We then combine high-strength steel, precise welding and a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and durable black powder coat to provide you with a hitch you can depend on. To prove it, we test all our hitches in accordance with SAE J684 for safety.
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 Transit150, Transit250, Transit350 and Transit350 HD (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 14012 is designed for 2015-present Ford Transit Vans. Verify your vehicle year and model match this range before purchasing.
When used as a weight-carrying hitch, the CURT 14012 supports 8,000 lbs trailer weight and 800 lbs tongue weight. When used as a weight-distribution hitch, it supports 10,000 lbs trailer weight and 1,000 lbs tongue weight. The hitch itself weighs 30 lbs. Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
Required tools are: safety glasses, spray lubricant, wire pipe brush, ratchet, 12mm socket, 15mm socket, 3/4" socket, 3" socket extension, power drill, 9/16" drill bit, and torque wrench. A 3" socket extension is needed to reach fasteners in the frame rails.
The kit includes: 4× 1/2"-13 UNC bolts (part 10-10287), 4× 1/2"-13 UNC serrated flange nuts (part 20-00062), 4× 0.250" × 1.00" × 3.00" square hole spacers (part CM-SP6), and 4× 1/2" × 30" fishwire (part 1_2 x 30 FISHWIRE). Factory M12 bolts are reused.
The manual recommends lowering the spare tire for ease of installation. This is noted as a preparatory step to improve access during the installation process.
Two people may be required to ease installation. The manual recommends having a second person available, though it does not state whether installation is impossible with one person.
Yes, drilling is required. You must enlarge the existing 1/16" holes in both frame rails for the rearwardmost mounting holes using a 9/16" drill bit. This is a permanent modification to the vehicle frame.
A 9/16" drill bit is required to enlarge the existing 1/16" holes in the frame rails for the rearwardmost mounting holes on both the driver and passenger sides.
Fishwire is a flexible wire tool (1/2" × 30" supplied with the kit) used to thread bolts and spacers into the frame rail holes. It allows you to guide fasteners into the frame without losing them, and prevents bolts from being pushed back into the frame when raising the hitch into position.
1. Remove 2 bolts from each frame rail using a 12mm socket and set aside for reinstall. Clean frame rail weldnuts with lubricant and brush. 2. Enlarge existing 1/16" holes in both frame rails using a 9/16" drill bit. Fishwire one 1/2" bolt and spacer into each frame rail. 3. Fishwire the remaining 1/2" bolts and spacers into each frame rail. Raise hitch into position carefully without pushing bolts back into the frame. Secure with factory M12 bolts and 1/2" hex nuts on each frame rail. 4. Torque M12 fasteners to 90 ft-lbs and 1/2" fasteners to 110 ft-lbs. Reinstall spare tire if lowered.
Yes. Remove the 2 factory M12 bolts from each frame rail in step 1, set them aside, and reinstall them in step 3 to secure the hitch. These factory bolts are reused; do not discard them.
Torque M12 fasteners (factory bolts) to 90 ft-lbs. Torque all 1/2" fasteners (the new 1/2"-13 UNC bolts) to 110 ft-lbs. Use a torque wrench to achieve these specifications.
Wear safety glasses at all times during installation. The manual emphasizes this as a required safety measure. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance.
Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. While the CURT 14012 supports up to 8,000 lbs (weight-carrying) or 10,000 lbs (weight-distribution) trailer weight, your Ford Transit Van may have a lower manufacturer limit. Check your vehicle's documentation and do not exceed that limit.
After installation, 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 prevent loosening due to vibration or use.

Yes, the Curt 56327 custom wiring harness is designed for Ford Transit SUVs, mini and full-sized vans (S-series). The harness connects behind the driver and passenger side taillight housings. Confirm your vehicle is a 12-volt negative ground system before purchasing.
The Curt 56327 is a custom wiring harness with a powered converter that integrates your Ford Transit's taillight signals and running lights to power a trailer connector. It includes a converter box, wiring for left turn (yellow), right turn (green), brake (red), and taillight (brown) circuits, plus a 4-flat connector for the trailer.
You will need: 6mm socket, 10mm socket, 1/4" socket, T-20 Torx bit, ratchet, cutting tool, flat blade screwdriver, and panel trim remover tool. A drill may be required if a suitable existing screw with nut is not available at the grounding location.
Yes. Step 1 requires you to locate the vehicle battery on the driver side under the front seat and disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning any wiring work. The battery must remain disconnected until Step 13, when you reconnect it after all other installation steps are complete.
The black converter box mounts on a flat spot inside the vehicle on the driver side using the provided double-sided tape (Step 9). Choose a location that is accessible but out of the way, as the converter must remain in the vehicle during operation.
Remove the taillight housing using two T-20 Torx screws (Step 3). Separate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connectors from the housing, taking care not to damage the locking tabs (Step 4). Insert the custom wiring harness end with the yellow wire (driver side) or green wire (passenger side) between the separated connectors, ensuring they are fully inserted with locking tabs in place (Step 7). Repeat on the passenger side.
Drilling may be required. Step 8 instructs you 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 screw is available, you must drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided ground screw. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint. Always check for hidden items behind or under any surface before drilling to avoid damage and personal injury.
Step 5 requires you to remove the grommet that the vehicle's taillight wiring harness passes through. Make a cut in the grommet from the middle outwards, large enough to pass the custom wiring harness housing through. In Step 6, reseat the grommet using the provided sealant to seal the cut and around all wires. This modification is permanent and necessary on both driver and passenger sides.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse. Do not exceed this rating. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. Install the fuse only after all other installation steps are complete (Step 13).
The custom wiring harness includes four signal wires: yellow for left turn, green for right turn, red for brake, and brown for taillight. The harness also includes a white ground wire with a ring terminal and a black power wire that connects to the vehicle battery. The 4-flat connector is used to connect the trailer.
Signal circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side. 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. Check your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for your vehicle's lamp load specifications.
Route the black power wire from the vehicle battery as shown on the included CME-PCL-INS sheet (Step 11). The manual notes that battery location may differ depending on the vehicle. When routing the power wire through sheet metal, use an existing grommet, add a grommet, or use silicone to protect the wire from sharp edges. Secure the power wire to the vehicle chassis using the provided cable ties. Avoid pinch points and hot or rotating components.
Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw to a suitable grounding point near the taillight connector (Step 8). The grounding point should be an existing screw with nut in the vehicle's frame, or you may drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint before attachment.
When not in use, roll up the 4-flat connector and store it in a convenient, out-of-the-way location (Step 12). When in use, route the 4-flat to the center of the vehicle. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties to prevent damage and keep the installation neat.
After installation, test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer (as stated in the Notice on page 1). All steps must be followed to ensure the wiring harness functions properly. Verify that left turn, right turn, brake, and taillight circuits operate correctly before towing.
No. The converter system is designed for use only on 12-volt negative ground systems. Do not attempt to use it on 24-volt systems or positive ground systems.
The manual does not specify a maximum towing load. It states: do not exceed the product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Check your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for your vehicle's lamp load specifications and towing capacity.
Yes, the Curt 56327 is designed for Ford Transit SUVs, mini and full-sized vans (S-series) with 12-volt negative ground systems.
You will need: 6mm, 10mm, and 1/4" sockets; T-20 Torx bit; ratchet; cutting tool; flat blade screwdriver; panel trim remover tool; and possibly a drill for the 3/32" ground hole.
Yes, disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting installation. Keep it disconnected until all wiring is complete, then reconnect in the final step.
Drilling may be required. If a suitable existing screw with nut is not available at the grounding location, drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided ground screw. Always check for hidden items before drilling.
The battery connection must use a 10-amp maximum fuse. Do not exceed this rating. Install the fuse only after all other steps are complete.
Signal circuits are rated 3.0 amps per side; tail and running circuits are rated 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed these ratings or your vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
No, the converter is designed only for 12-volt negative ground systems. Do not use on 24-volt or positive ground systems.
