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 Fiat 500X (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 525 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 Fiat 500X (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 CURT 13271 is designed for FIAT 500X SUVs from 2016 to present. Confirm your vehicle year and model match before purchasing.
The hitch is rated for a maximum trailer weight of 3500 lbs. and tongue weight of 525 lbs. when used as a weight-carrying hitch. You must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower.
Non-trailer (wheel-less) loads can be applied to this hitch, but they must be supported by CURT 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty.
Required tools are: 10mm socket, 13mm socket, 21mm socket, 3/4" socket, 3" socket extension, ratchet, torque wrench, die grinder, safety glasses, and a utility knife. A fishwire is also needed for the bolt insertion technique.
Two people may be required to ease installation. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance. You can call CURT Technical Support at 877-287-8634 for help.
Professional installation takes approximately 90 minutes. Novice (DIY) installation takes approximately 45 minutes. Actual time may vary depending on experience and vehicle condition.
No drilling is required. However, the rearmost hole on each frame rail must be enlarged using a die grinder to 1.125 inches in diameter to allow the carriage bolts and spacers to be inserted. This is a permanent modification to the frame rail.
Yes. In Step 3, clear away caulk as necessary near the mounting holes using a utility knife. This ensures proper fitment of the hitch to the frame.
Fishwire is used to guide the carriage bolts through the frame rail holes. In Step 4, fishwire two 1/2" carriage bolts and CM-SP10 spacers into the forwardmost holes on the outside of each frame rail. Reverse fishwire two 1/2" carriage bolts and CM-SP10 spacers into the rearmost hole on the bottom of each frame rail. Keep the wires attached until the hitch is raised into position. In Step 5, pull the fishwires through the mounting locations on the hitch to guide the bolts into place.
The hitch includes: four 1/2"-13 UNC carriage bolts, 1-3/4" long, Grade 8, zinc-plated (part 10-10272); four 0.250 x 1.00 x 2.50" square hole spacers (CM-SP10); four 1/2"-13 UNC serrated flange nuts, Grade 8, zinc-plated (part 20-00062); and four 1/2" fishwires.
Yes. In Step 1, remove the rearmost rubber plugs on the bottom of each frame rail and the forwardmost rubber plugs on the outside of each frame rail. If your vehicle has a factory tow hook, remove the M14 bolts in these locations using a 21mm socket instead, and skip to Step 3.
Yes. In Step 3, remove one plastic nut from each wheel well near the frame rail using a 10mm socket. After torquing the hitch in Step 6, reinstall these plastic nuts.
All 1/2" hardware must be torqued to 110 ft.-lbs. If your vehicle has a factory tow hook and you are reusing the factory M14 hardware, torque those bolts to 135 ft.-lbs. instead.
After pulling the fishwires through the mounting locations on the hitch and raising it into position, carefully remove the fishwires and loosely secure the hitch with hex flange nuts using a 3/4" socket. If your vehicle has a factory tow hook, loosely install the factory M14 hardware instead. Do not fully tighten until Step 6.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify a retorque interval, so inspect before each towing use.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product. Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning installation. Using proper tools will greatly improve the quality of the install and reduce the time required.
