The 17-22 Nissan Rogue Sport 2 CURT Trailer Hitch + Assure Proportional Brake Controller Kit HBCW2070 (Part #HBCW2070) fits the following vehicles: 2017-2022 Nissan Rogue Sport. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
The 17-22 Nissan Rogue Sport 2 CURT Trailer Hitch + Assure Proportional Brake Controller Kit HBCW2070 (Part #HBCW2070) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, CURT part number 11349 is designed for the 2013 Nissan Sentra Sedan. However, it does not fit the SR version of this model year.
CURT hitch 11349 is designed for use with ballmount #45521/D-21, or Euro ballmounts #45571 (1 7/8" ball) or #45572 (2" ball).
The maximum trailer weight is 2,000 lbs and the maximum tongue weight is 200 lbs. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
The hitch has a gross load capacity of 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. You must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
Yes, but all non-trailer loads applied to this hitch must be supported by CURT 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to use proper support will void the product warranty.
Required tools are: flat head screwdriver, die grinder, ratchet, 6" socket extension, 9/16" socket, 9/16" and 3/4" boxed end wrenches, and a torque wrench. Safety glasses must be worn at all times during installation.
Two people may be required to ease installation. The manual notes that using proper tools will greatly improve the quality of the install and reduce the time required.
Yes. You must use a die grinder to enlarge the rear hole in the driver side frame rail. This enlarged hole is used as the access hole for fishwiring the mounting hardware. The manual does not specify whether this modification is permanent or reversible.
1. Locate and pry out two plastic fascia clips at the rear of the vehicle; retain them for reinstallation. 2. Use a die grinder to enlarge the rear hole in the driver side frame rail. 3. Fishwire forward 1/2" mounting hardware through the frame access hole. 4. Reverse fishwire rearward 1/2" mounting hardware into the frame access hole. 5. Raise the hitch into position, attaching to the fishwired hardware on the driver side; 3/8" hardware pushes through the rear frame on the passenger side. 6. Using 1/2" carriage bolt, nut and spacer, attach the rear hitch plate to the vehicle tow loop. 7. Reattach the two plastic fascia clips. 8. Torque all fasteners.
Torque all 1/2" hardware to 110 ft-lbs. Torque all 3/8" hardware to 45 ft-lbs.
The kit includes: 2 square hole spacers (CM-SP6, 0.250 x 1.00 x 3.00"), 2 hex bolts (3/8-16 x 1 1/4"), 2 washers (3/8"), 2 hex flange nuts (HFN3816P, 3/8-16), 2 carriage bolts (1/2-13 x 1 1/2"), 3 hex flange nuts (HFN 1213, 1/2-13), 1 carriage bolt (1/2-13 x 2"), 1 square hole spacer (CM-SP4, 0.250 x 1.50 x 3.00"), and 2 pieces of 1/2" fishwire.
Fishwiring is used to route the 1/2" mounting hardware through the frame access hole on the driver side. The hardware is fishwired forward through the hole, then reverse fishwired rearward to position it for hitch attachment. This allows the hardware to be secured without direct access to the frame interior.
The rear hitch plate is attached to the vehicle tow loop using one 1/2" carriage bolt, a hex flange nut, and a square hole spacer (CM-SP4, 0.250 x 1.50 x 3.00"). This bolt must be torqued to 110 ft-lbs.
The driver side is attached using fishwired 1/2" mounting hardware. Two carriage bolts (1/2-13 x 1 1/2") with hex flange nuts and square hole spacers (CM-SP6) are fishwired forward through the enlarged access hole in the driver side frame rail, then reverse fishwired rearward to secure the hitch.
The passenger side is attached using 3/8" hardware. Two hex bolts (3/8-16 x 1 1/4") with washers and hex flange nuts (HFN3816P) push through the rear of the vehicle frame on the passenger side. They are secured with a 9/16" socket and held tightly on the back side with a boxed end wrench. These bolts must be torqued to 45 ft-lbs.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection is critical to safe operation.

The kit includes: one 30 amp auto-resetting circuit breaker, two #10 ring terminals, two 3/8" ring terminals, two 1/2" ring terminals, three 12-10 gauge butt connectors, 10 feet of 10 ga black/white duplex wire, 20 feet of 10 ga blue cross-linked wire, and eight 8.5" cable ties.
Yes, but with a critical difference: these vehicles require the stop signal wire to be spliced to the light green wire on the turn signal harness connector under the dash, not to the brake pedal switch. Do NOT connect to the red wire with green stripe, as serious damage may occur. All other vehicles connect to the brake pedal switch instead.
You will need: a test light, wire stripper/cutter, crimp tool, and 3/8" box end wrench. The test light is used to identify the cold (switched) side of the brake pedal switch.
Yes. The manual cautions to disconnect the tow vehicle's negative battery cable before installation. Reconnect it only in the final step after all wiring is complete.
Mount the 30 amp circuit breaker near the tow vehicle's positive battery terminal. This keeps the power wire run as short as possible and protects the circuit.
Use 10 gauge (10 ga) black wire from the duplex wire included in the kit. Strip 3/8" of insulation from each end. Crimp a #10 ring terminal to the end that attaches to the circuit breaker stud labeled 'BAT', and a 3/8" or 1/2" ring terminal (sized to fit your battery terminal) to the end that attaches to the positive battery terminal.
Feed the 10 ga duplex wire from the brake controller in the cockpit through the firewall into the engine compartment toward the battery. Cut to length as needed. At the battery end, crimp a 3/8" or 1/2" ring terminal to the white wire and a #10 ring terminal to the black wire. Attach the black wire to the circuit breaker stud labeled 'AUX' and tighten the nut with a 3/8" box end wrench.
When passing the duplex wire through the firewall into the engine compartment, use an existing grommet, add a new grommet, or fill the hole with silicone rubber to insulate and protect the wire. The same protection applies when passing the blue cross-linked wire through any sheet metal at the rear of the vehicle.
In the cockpit, attach the black duplex wire to the brake controller's battery wire (typically black) and the white duplex wire to the brake controller's ground wire (typically white). Use either one of the supplied yellow butt connectors or solder the leads together and insulate with heat shrink tubing.
Locate the brake pedal switch on the back side of the vehicle's brake pedal. Use a test light or volt meter to identify the 'cold' or switched side—this terminal will only show power when the brake pedal is depressed. Attach the stop signal wire (typically red) from the brake controller to the cold side of the switch using a wire tap.
Locate the semi-circle turn signal harness connector on the steering column under the dash. It has two rows of wires: a row of four and a row of seven. Attach the stop signal wire (typically red) from the brake controller to the light green wire using a wire tap. Do NOT connect to the red wire with green stripe, as serious damage may occur.
Feed the 10 ga blue cross-linked wire from the brake controller to the trailer connector at the rear of the vehicle, taking up any slack in the wire. When passing through any sheet metal, use an existing grommet, add a new grommet, or fill the hole with silicone rubber to protect the wire.
Attach the blue cross-linked wire to the brake controller's electric brake wire (typically blue) using one of the supplied yellow butt connectors or by soldering and insulating with heat shrink tubing. At the rear of the vehicle, trim any loose blue wire and attach it to the trailer connector's electric brake terminal. Refer to the trailer connector's wiring diagram for the correct terminal location.
Secure any loose wires with the cable ties provided. Connect the black power wire from the circuit breaker to the positive side of the battery. Connect the white ground wire from the brake controller to the negative side of the battery. Finally, reconnect the tow vehicle's negative battery cable to the battery.
The circuit breaker is 30 amps and auto-resetting. It must be mounted near the positive battery terminal and connected directly to the positive battery terminal via the included black 10 gauge wire.
Use a 3/8" box end wrench to tighten the nuts on the circuit breaker studs labeled 'BAT' and 'AUX'.
The kit includes 10 feet of 10 gauge black/white duplex wire for the battery and brake controller connections, and 20 feet of 10 gauge blue cross-linked wire for the electric brake signal to the trailer connector.
Black wire connects to the positive battery and circuit breaker. White wire connects to the brake controller ground and negative battery. Red wire is the stop signal wire from the brake controller. Blue wire is the electric brake signal wire. The manual notes these are 'typically' these colours but recommends confirming with your brake controller documentation.
Yes. You can solder the leads together and insulate with heat shrink tubing as an alternative to using the supplied yellow butt connectors. This applies to connections between the duplex wire and the brake controller wires, and between the blue cross-linked wire and the brake controller.
The black power wire must connect directly to the positive battery terminal via the 30 amp circuit breaker. Connecting to the fuse panel or any other accessory wiring may damage vehicle wiring and cause trailer brake failure. The circuit breaker protects the circuit and must be the only protection between the battery and the brake control system.
Do NOT connect the stop signal wire to the red wire with green stripe on the turn signal harness. Serious damage may occur. Connect only to the light green wire. Also, do not connect to the brake pedal switch on these vehicles; use the turn signal harness instead.
The kit is universal but requires an existing trailer connector and brake controller. 1989-1991 Ford E & F-Series with ABS use a different stop signal connection (turn signal harness instead of brake pedal switch). Consult your brake controller documentation for compatibility.
No drilling is required. The kit connects to existing components: the battery, brake controller, brake pedal switch (or turn signal harness on 1989-1991 Ford E & F-Series with ABS), and trailer connector.
Do NOT connect the stop signal wire to the red wire with green stripe on the turn signal harness—serious damage may occur. Connect to the light green wire instead, and do not use the brake pedal switch.
Connecting to the fuse panel or accessory wiring may damage vehicle wiring and cause trailer brake failure. The 30 amp circuit breaker must be the only protection between the battery and the brake control system.
The 4-way flat electrical adapter converts a vehicle's 4-way flat trailer connector to other trailer connector types (6-way round, 7-way RV blade, or dual 4-way flat). This allows you to tow trailers with different connector styles. Single-output models (57184, 57183, 57185, 57626, 57676) convert to one connector type; dual-output models (57604, 57624, 57672, 57674, 57102) provide two different connector outputs simultaneously.
Yes. Your vehicle must be equipped with a 4-way flat trailer connector. If your vehicle does not have one, you will need to install a custom wiring harness or other 4-way flat trailer connector before installing this adapter.
Both convert a 4-way flat connector to a 7-way RV blade. The difference is that 57185 includes a mounting bracket, while 57184 does not.
Both convert a 4-way flat connector to a 6-way round. The difference is that 57626 includes a mounting bracket, while 57183 does not.
Curt offers three dual-output models that provide both a 4-way flat and a 7-way RV blade output: part numbers 57672, 57674, and 57102. All three include a mounting bracket.
Curt offers two dual-output models that provide both a 4-way flat and a 6-way round output: part numbers 57604 and 57624. Both include a mounting bracket.
You will need: a 1/8" drill bit, drill, Phillips screwdriver, wire stripper, cutting tool, terminal crimpers, and a test light. The manual also lists three self-tapping screws (#10 - 1/2") as required, though these are not included with the product.
No. The three self-tapping screws (#10 - 1/2") used to attach the mounting bracket are not included and must be purchased separately.
Mount the combination harness in a location on the tow vehicle that is within reach of the trailer's wiring harness and near the center of the vehicle. The mounting bracket (if included) should be attached to the vehicle's bumper or other suitable surface.
Yes. You must drill two 1/8" holes: one for the grounding point and one (or more) for the mounting bracket. Before drilling, you must check for brake lines, fuel lines, wiring and other components that may be hidden behind or under the surface to avoid damage.
No. You must never attach the mounting bracket directly to the hitch by cutting, welding or drilling into the hitch. Mount it to the vehicle's bumper or other suitable surface instead.
The adapter uses four wires: Yellow (auxiliary or back-up lights), Blue (electric brakes), Black (positive power with appropriate inline fuse), and White (ground). All wires except black and white must be connected using 12 gauge (minimum) wire and butt connectors to the appropriate vehicle functions.
The white wire is the ground connection. It must be attached with a ring terminal to a 1/8" hole drilled in a suitable grounding point on the vehicle using a #10 - 1/2" self-tapping screw. This ground connection is required for the harness to work properly. The white wire on the vehicle's 4-way flat connector does not support the ground (-) functions of the combination harness.
Yes. The black wire (positive power) must be connected with an appropriate inline fuse. The manual does not specify the fuse amperage rating.
Use 12 gauge (minimum) wire for all connections. The manual specifies this minimum gauge for the remaining wires (yellow, blue, and black) when connecting to appropriate vehicle functions.
Failing to properly ground the product can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. The white wire must be securely attached to a clean grounding point using a #10 - 1/2" self-tapping screw in a 1/8" hole. The area must be clean of dirt, debris or undercoating.
Before drilling, you must check for brake lines, fuel lines, wiring and any other components that may be hidden behind or under the surface. Drilling into these components can cause damage and personal injury.
Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding either rating can cause damage or unsafe operation.
Confirm proper function with a test light or by using a properly functioning trailer. This verifies that all connections are working correctly before towing.
Secure any loose wires using cable ties or equivalent product to prevent them from moving, catching on components, or becoming damaged.
Your vehicle must have a 4-way flat trailer connector. If it does not, you will need to install a custom wiring harness or other 4-way flat connector first. Check the part number table to confirm the adapter converts to the connector type you need.
You must purchase three #10 - 1/2" self-tapping screws for the mounting bracket. You will also need an appropriate inline fuse for the black (positive power) wire; the manual does not specify the amperage.
Yes, you must drill two 1/8" holes: one for grounding and one for the mounting bracket. Before drilling, check for brake lines, fuel lines and wiring behind the surface. Never drill into the hitch.
Yellow = auxiliary/back-up lights; Blue = electric brakes; Black = positive power (needs inline fuse); White = ground (must be properly grounded or warranty is void and fire risk exists). Use 12 gauge minimum wire and butt connectors.
Proper grounding of the white wire is critical. Failing to ground it properly can cause loss of warranty, overheating and fire. The grounding point must be clean of dirt, debris and undercoating.
Test with a test light or by using a properly functioning trailer to confirm all connections work. Secure loose wires with cable ties.
The Curt 56500 is a powered converter system that allows you to connect a trailer to a passenger car by tapping into the vehicle's existing taillight wiring. It converts the vehicle's taillight signals to a 4-flat trailer connector, enabling the trailer lights to function when connected. The system includes a converter box, custom wiring harness with yellow and green wires, power lead, ground wire, fuse holder, cable ties, double-sided tape, and a 4-flat dust cover.
The Curt 56500 is designed for 12-volt negative ground systems only. Do not use this converter on any other electrical system configuration. Check your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer to confirm your vehicle has a 12-volt negative ground system before purchasing.
The Curt 56500 is designed for passenger cars with factory taillight connectors that can be accessed from inside the trunk. The installation requires access to wiring locations P3 and P4 (behind driver and passenger side taillight housings, inside the trunk). Compatibility may vary depending on your specific vehicle model and year. Consult the manufacturer or a fitment database to confirm compatibility with your vehicle before purchasing.
You will need: ratchet, wire cutter, 10mm socket, crimp tool, panel trim removal tool, and wire stripper. These tools are required to remove trunk trim, disconnect and reconnect battery terminals, separate taillight connectors, and prepare wiring connections. Proper tools will improve installation quality and reduce installation time.
The Curt 56500 includes: custom wiring harness with yellow and green wires, black converter box, black power wire with ring terminal for battery connection, white ground wire with ring terminal, ground screw, fuse holder with 10-amp fuse, cable ties, double-sided tape for converter mounting, and a 4-flat dust cover. All fasteners and connectors needed for installation are provided.
Yes, you must disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation. Fasten this wire down and away from the battery while completing the installation process. Reconnect the negative battery terminal only after all other installation steps are complete and the fuse has been installed.
You must remove the floor board to expose the spare tire, then loosen and remove the threshold straight up. Pull the trunk liner toward the inside of the trunk on both sides to expose the taillight wiring. Use a panel trim removal tool to remove three push fasteners on each side of the trunk liner and two push fasteners in the threshold.
Starting on the driver side, locate the taillight housing and separate the connectors, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Locate the harness with the yellow wire and insert the custom wiring harness between the separated connectors. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat this process on the passenger side with the green wire harness.
Locate a flat spot on the driver side behind the felt liner and adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape. The converter box should be positioned securely and out of the way to avoid interference with vehicle components.
Route the 12 GA black power wire from the vehicle battery to the converter, taking care to avoid any pinch points and hot or rotating components. Secure the power wire to the vehicle chassis using the provided cable ties. When passing the power wire through sheet metal, use an existing grommet, add a grommet, or use silicone to protect the wire from sharp edges. Connect the ring terminal to the positive (+) battery terminal. Install the fuse holder with a 10-amp fuse after all other steps are complete.
Locate a grounding point such as an existing screw or bolt in the frame of the vehicle. If no suitable point exists, drill a 3/32" pilot hole. The area should be free from rust, dirt, and paint—use an abrasive pad or paper to remove rust and paint. Secure the white ground wire with the ring terminal on the existing fastener or with the provided ground screw. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
When in use, route the 4-flat with the center of the vehicle and out of the hatch to the trailer, being sure to stay clear of the hatch's latching mechanism. When not in use, roll up and store in a convenient, out-of-the-way location. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
Drilling may be required for the ground wire connection. If a suitable existing screw or bolt is not available on the vehicle frame, you must drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the ground screw. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury. The area should be free from rust, dirt, and paint—use an abrasive pad or paper to clean it.
The Curt 56500 has the following electrical ratings: Signal circuits (turn signals) are rated at 3.0 amps per side, and Tail/Running circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating, and potential fire.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse. The fuse holder with a 10-amp fuse is provided with the product. Install the fuse after all other installation steps are complete. Exceeding this fuse rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating, and potential fire.
Use 12 GA (12-gauge) wire or larger for the power connection from the vehicle battery to the converter. The black power wire provided with the Curt 56500 is 12 GA. When passing the wire through sheet metal, use an existing grommet, add a grommet, or use silicone to protect the wire from sharp edges.
If drilling is necessary for the ground wire connection, drill a 3/32" pilot hole. The area should be free from rust, dirt, and paint—use an abrasive pad or paper to remove rust and paint before securing the white ground wire with the ring terminal.
The Curt 56500 harness uses the following wire colors: Yellow = Left turn signal, Green = Right turn signal, Red = Brake signal, Brown = Taillight (running lights). The yellow wire connects to the driver side taillight connector, and the green wire connects to the passenger side taillight connector. The red brake wire must be grounded if the converter is used as a powered module for a two-wire system.
P3 is located behind the driver side taillight housing, inside of the trunk. P4 is located behind the passenger side taillight housing, inside of the trunk. These are the primary wiring locations where the Curt 56500 harness connects to the vehicle's taillight connectors.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation and fasten this wire down and away from the battery. Do not lay tools across the positive battery terminal (typically noted with red covers or a '+' symbol), as this can cause a ground short resulting in sparks and/or electrical shocks. Reconnect the negative battery terminal only after all other installation steps are complete and the fuse has been installed.
Before drilling to create the ground hole, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury. Inspect the area thoroughly to ensure there are no wires, fuel lines, brake lines, or other components that could be damaged by drilling.
Once the custom harness is installed, verify that the harness is functioning by attaching the 4-flat connector to any trailer with functioning lights. The taillights on the vehicle to be towed should function along with the taillights on the vehicle that is powering them. You can also use a test light to verify proper function.
Periodic inspection of all wires and connections should be performed to ensure there is no visible damage or loose connections. Check the converter box mounting, power and ground wire connections, and all taillight harness connections regularly. Inspect the 4-flat connector and dust cover for corrosion or damage before each use.
The Curt 56500 is designed for passenger cars with factory taillight connectors accessible from inside the trunk. It works only on 12-volt negative ground systems. Check your vehicle owner's manual or contact the manufacturer to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
Yes, disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting installation. Reconnect it only after all other steps are complete and the fuse is installed.
The battery connection must use a 10-amp maximum fuse. A fuse holder with 10-amp fuse is included. Install the fuse after all other steps are complete.
Signal circuits (turn signals): 3.0 amps per side. Tail/Running circuits: 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting. Do not lay tools across the positive battery terminal (risk of short and sparks). Check for hidden items before drilling. Protect the power wire from sharp edges when routing through sheet metal.
First, verify that the harness is functioning by attaching the 4-flat connector to a trailer with functioning lights. The trailer lights should function along with the vehicle's taillights. Check that both taillight connectors (P3 and P4) are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Verify that the converter box is properly mounted and that the power and ground wire connections are secure. Ensure the 10-amp fuse is installed in the fuse holder. Check that the negative battery terminal is reconnected. If the issue persists, inspect all wire connections for damage or loose connections.
Overheating and blown fuses indicate the product rating is being exceeded. Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. The electrical ratings are: Signal circuits 3.0 amps per side, Tail/Running circuits 6.0 amps total. Exceeding these ratings can cause loss of warranty, overheating, and potential fire. Verify that the trailer lights do not exceed these amperage limits. If the trailer load is too high, the Curt 56500 is not suitable for that trailer.
This indicates a short circuit, likely caused by laying tools across the positive battery terminal or an improper ground connection. Immediately disconnect the negative battery terminal and do not attempt to use the product. Do not lay tools across the positive battery terminal (typically noted with red covers or a '+' symbol), as this can cause a ground short resulting in sparks and electrical shocks. Verify that the white ground wire with ring terminal is properly secured to a clean, rust-free grounding point on the vehicle frame. Ensure the power wire is not damaged or pinched. If the problem persists, contact the manufacturer before attempting further installation.
