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 Cadillac XT5 (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 5,000 lbs. GTW and 750 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 6,000 lbs. WD and 750 lbs. WDTW. 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.
CURT custom wiring connectors are the easiest way to outfit your vehicle with a CURT trailer wiring connection. They are built with some of the most advanced technology in the industry, and each one is custom-fitted to work with a specific make and model. Some automotive manufacturers install a special socket on the vehicle to be used for vehicle-to-trailer wiring. Although this special socket is not equipped on every vehicle, a CURT custom wiring connector -- also called a T-connector -- utilizes the socket for simple, stress-free installation. Rather than requiring you to cut, splice and solder into your vehicle's wiring system, the custom wiring connector uses a single OEM-compatible plug and instantly provides a standard, universal vehicle-to-trailer wiring connection, typically in the form a 4-way flat. All CURT custom wiring connectors are made vehicle-specific for the easiest possible installation and the best fit. This particular plug-in connector provides a 4-way flat socket and is designed to be a custom wiring option for certain years of the Buick Envision, Chevy Blazer, GMC Acadia, Cadillac XT5 and Cadillac XT6, (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary hardware to establish a solid connection. It also comes with a dust cover to keep the connector socket clean when not in use. To ensure long-lasting reliability, all CURT custom wiring connectors are thoroughly tested for optimal functionality. Stress is the last thing you should feel when towing a trailer -- whether you're hauling your RV to that favorite camping destination, your ATVs up to the hunting grounds or your fishing boat to the new hidden hotspot. At CURT, we think your towing equipment should add to the enjoyment of your experience, not detract from it.

When used as a weight distribution hitch, it supports a maximum trailer weight of 6,000 lbs and tongue weight of 750 lbs.

You will need: a ratchet, a torque wrench, 7mm and 11/16" sockets, an 8" extension, and safety glasses. No power tools or drilling equipment is required.
The kit includes: 6 square hole spacers (CM-SP2, .250 x .88 x 2.25"), 6 carriage bolts (7/16-14 UNC, 1-1/4", grade 8, yellow zinc), 6 serrated flange nuts (7/16-14 UNC, grade 8, yellow zinc), and 6 pieces of 7/16" fishwire. All fasteners are grade 8 and yellow zinc plated.
No. The CURT 13285 requires no drilling. It uses existing holes on the vehicle frame and the fishwire hardware technique to route fasteners through access holes.
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.
Professional installation takes approximately 20 minutes. Novice (DIY) installation takes approximately 40 minutes.
Remove the access panel by using a 7mm socket to remove the 2 screws, then pull the access panel straight down and away from the vehicle. Set the panel and screws aside for reinstallation.
Use the fishwire technique to route 3 CM-SP2 spacers and 3 carriage bolts through the access hole and out the mounting holes on each side of the vehicle. The manual references a fishwire technique diagram for detailed routing instructions. Raise the hitch into position and secure with 3 flange nuts on each side.
All 7/16" hardware must be torqued to 70 ft-lbs using an 11/16" socket.
When the hitch is not in use, reinstall the access panel that was removed in step 1. Use the original 2 screws to secure it.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection helps maintain the safety and integrity of the installation.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product. Before you begin installation, read all instructions thoroughly. Using proper tools will greatly improve the quality of the install and reduce the time required.
Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Although the CURT 13285 is rated for up to 5,000 lbs trailer weight (weight carrying) or 6,000 lbs (weight distribution), your Cadillac XT5 may have a lower manufacturer-recommended limit. Always follow your vehicle's specifications.
