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 Hyundai Ioniq (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 2,000 lbs. GTW and 200 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 Hyundai Elantra, Elantra GT and Ioniq (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.

Safety glasses must be worn at all times during installation. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance.
Non-trailer (wheel-less) loads can be carried, but they must be supported by CURT 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty.

The Curt 56233 custom wiring harness fits Hyundai Elantra GT and Hyundai Elantra sedan models, excluding the limited trim. Check your vehicle's trim level and model year against these applications before purchasing.
The Curt 56233 has a signal circuit rating of 3.0 amps per side and a tail/running circuit rating of 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed these ratings or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
You will need a 10mm socket, ratchet, panel trim removal tool, and Phillips screwdriver. These are the only tools specified in the installation instructions.
Yes. You must disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation. This is a required safety step performed in Step 2 of the installation process.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a maximum 10-amp fuse. Exceeding this rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. Do not exceed the product rating or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
The vehicle wiring harness connectors are located inside the trunk behind the taillight housings. The driver side connector is at position P3 (behind driver side taillight) and the passenger side connector is at position P4 (behind passenger side taillight). You will need to remove trunk floor coverings, storage trays, the rear scuff panel and trim panels to access them.
Separate the vehicle taillight wiring harness connectors from the taillight housing, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Insert the T-connector 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 this process on the passenger side using the T-connector end with the green wire.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no suitable point exists, 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. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items hidden behind or under surfaces to avoid damage and personal injury.
Drilling may be required for the ground wire connection. If a suitable existing screw with nut is not available in the vehicle frame near the connector, you must drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items hidden behind or under surfaces to avoid damage and personal injury.
Locate a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight and adhere the black converter box using the double-sided tape provided. The converter box should be mounted in a location where it will not interfere with vehicle operation or occupant safety.
When in use, route the 4-flat to the center of the vehicle. When not in use, roll it up and store in a convenient, out-of-the-way location. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties to prevent tangling and damage.
After installation, test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer. All steps must be followed to ensure the wiring harness functions properly before relying on it for towing.
The Curt 56233 includes a custom wiring harness with T-connectors (yellow and green wire ends), a white ground wire with ring terminal, a black converter box, double-sided tape for mounting the converter box, a provided screw for grounding, cable ties for securing loose wires, and a 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
