All Hardware and Installation Instructions Included!
However you define adventure -- whether it's climbing onto the back of a mountain bike, hunting from the top of a tree stand or camping with the family a long way from nowhere -- CURT class 1 hitches provide a light-duty towing receiver to help you Bring It. Each is made to fit a specific vehicle, providing easier installation, a better fit and optimal towing capacity. Custom class 1 trailer hitches are available for a variety of smaller vehicle types, including the compact car, crossover, minivan and small SUV. This particular class 1 hitch is designed to be a custom hitch for certain years of the Chevy Volt (to verify vehicle compatibility, see the CURT application guide at curtmfg.com). Tested in accordance with SAE J684, it offers a weight carrying capacity of 1,000 lbs. GTW and 100 lbs. TW. It is equipped with 1-1/4" receiver tube opening to accept a ball mount shank or other hitch mount. This class 1 hitch also comes with all necessary mounting hardware. With its lightweight design and smaller receiver tube size, a class 1 hitch is especially useful for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted bike rack or cargo carrier. They can also typically be used to tow small trailers such as a utility trailer, kayak trailer or teardrop camper (never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component; i.e. the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc). Though CURT class 1 trailer hitches are only intended for light-duty towing, we apply the same principles of quality as we do to the rest of our rear mount hitches. Each class 1 hitch is made with hands-on engineering, high-strength steel and precise welding. We use a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat, inside and out, and durable black powder coat to provide a lasting defense against rust, chips and UV rays.
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 Chevy Volt (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 11436 is designed for 2016-Present Chevrolet Volt sedans. Before purchasing, verify your vehicle matches this specification and confirm your vehicle's towing capacity with your manufacturer.
The hitch is rated for a maximum trailer weight of 1000 lbs. and a tongue weight of 100 lbs. when used as a weight-carrying hitch. You must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower.
The hitch is designed for use with CURT ball mount part 45521. Optional Euro mount options are available: part 45571 (1 7/8" ball) or part 45572 (2" ball).
You will need: ratchet, 6" socket extension, 7mm/10mm/13mm/15mm sockets, T15 torx bit socket, screwdriver, torque wrench, masking tape, aviation shears, and safety glasses.
Two people may be required to ease installation. The manual recommends having a second person available, though it does not state this is mandatory.
You must temporarily remove: the underbody panel, wheel well trim, both tail lights, the bumper fascia, and the bumper beam. The exhaust bracket must also be temporarily lifted. All removed parts are reinstalled after hitch installation.
No, drilling is not required. However, trimming of the underbody panel is required: you must mark out and trim a 2.5" x 4.5" section using aviation shears.
In step 1, after removing the underbody panel, use masking tape to mark out a 2.5" x 4.5" section on the panel. Then trim that section using aviation shears. The panel is then set aside for reinstallation after the hitch is mounted.
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected. Contact CURT Technical Support at 877-287-8634 for guidance on electrical safety precautions before beginning installation.
Yes, the exhaust must be temporarily lowered during installation. In step 5, you remove two M8 bolts from the exhaust bracket on the passenger side using a 13mm socket, then lift the bracket up and over the clips to remove the bumper beam. The bracket is reinstalled in step 6.
All M10 fasteners must be torqued to 45.2 ft.-lbs. This is done in step 7 after the bumper beam and exhaust bracket are loosely fastened in step 6.
All M8 fasteners must be torqued to 22.9 ft.-lbs. This is done in step 7 after the bumper beam and exhaust bracket are loosely fastened in step 6.
1. Remove and trim underbody panel. 2. Remove wheel well trim. 3. Remove tail lights. 4. Remove bumper fascia. 5. Remove bumper beam and exhaust bracket. 6. Raise hitch into position and loosely fasten bumper beam and exhaust bracket. 7. Torque all fasteners to specification. 8. Reinstall all removed parts in reverse order.
Raise the hitch into position, centering it on the vehicle. The hitch mounts to existing weld studs and flange nuts on both sides of the vehicle frame.
Fasteners should be loosely fastened when the bumper beam and exhaust bracket are first raised into position in step 6. All fasteners are then fully torqued to specification in step 7 after final positioning is confirmed.
After installation, periodically check that all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. This ongoing maintenance is essential for safe operation.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product.
All non-trailer (wheel-less) loads applied to this hitch must be supported by CURT stabilizing straps part 18050. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty. See the CURT catalog or visit www.curtmfg.com for further information.
Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Although the hitch is rated for 1000 lbs. trailer weight and 100 lbs. tongue weight, your vehicle's manufacturer may specify a lower limit, which must be observed.
CURT Manufacturing warrants this product to be free of defects in material and workmanship at the time of retail purchase by the original purchaser. If defective, CURT may repair or replace the product at their option when returned prepaid with proof of purchase. Alteration, misuse, or improper installation voids the warranty.
Yes, the CURT 11436 is designed for 2016-Present Chevrolet Volt sedans. Maximum towing capacity is 1000 lbs. trailer weight and 100 lbs. tongue weight, but you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended limit.
You need: ratchet, 6" socket extension, 7mm/10mm/13mm/15mm sockets, T15 torx bit socket, screwdriver, torque wrench, masking tape, aviation shears, and safety glasses.

Periodically check that all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection is essential for safe operation.
Yes, the Curt 56315 is designed for Chevrolet Volt passenger cars. The harness includes wiring routed to both driver and passenger side taillights behind the trunk area.
The harness is rated for Signal Circuits at 3.0 amps per side and Tail/Running Circuits at 6.0 amps total. 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 the rating 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.
You will need: a ratchet, 10mm socket, T-15 Torx bit, Phillips screwdriver, panel trim removal tool, and a cutting tool. Additional items required but not provided include sealant for the grommet.
The harness includes: the custom wiring harness with yellow and green wire ends, a black converter box, a white ground wire with ring terminal and provided screw, cable ties, and a 4-flat dust cover. Sealant is not provided and must be obtained separately.
No, sealant is not provided with the harness. You must obtain sealant separately. It is used in Step 9 to seal the cut made in the grommet and around all wires where the custom wiring harness passes through from inside the cabin to the taillight.
Drilling may be required. In Step 10, you must locate a suitable grounding point near the connector. If an existing screw with nut is not available in the vehicle frame, you must drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. The manual warns to check for hidden items before drilling to avoid damage and personal injury.
Yes, cutting is required. In Step 7, you must remove the grommet behind the taillight and cut a slit large enough to route the custom wiring harness through. In Step 9, the cut is then sealed with sealant (not provided).
Drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided ground screw. The grounding point should be located near the connector on a suitable spot in the vehicle frame that is free of rust, dirt and paint.
The harness has two ends: one with a yellow wire for the driver side and one with a green wire for the passenger side. Route the yellow wire end out through the grommet opening behind the driver side taillight (Steps 7-8), then repeat the process on the passenger side with the green wire end (Step 12). Route the black power wire from the vehicle battery as shown on the included CME-PCL-INS sheet (Step 13). When not in use, roll up and store the 4-flat connector in a convenient location.
In Step 11, locate a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight and adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape.
Follow this sequence: (1) Remove all trunk floor coverings, (2) Remove fasteners securing trunk storage trays and remove the trays, (3) Remove the scuff panel by pulling out at the bottom then up (taking care not to damage alignment tabs), (4) Remove fasteners securing the side felt liner and pull it back for access, (5) Remove fasteners securing the taillights and gently pull them rearward and out.
In Step 6, locate the vehicle taillight wiring harness connectors behind the taillight and separate them from the housing, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. In Step 8, insert the custom wiring harness end (yellow for driver side, green for passenger side) between the separated connectors. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
In Step 10, locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame, or drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint. Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw.
When not in use, roll up and store the 4-flat connector in a convenient, out-of-the-way location. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
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.
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 in Step 10.
All steps must be followed to ensure the wiring harness functions properly. Once installed, test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer.
In Step 14, secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
