All Hardware and Installation Instructions Included!
Whatever the next checkpoint is on your adventure -- whether it's getting your bike on the trail before sunrise or making it to the campground before dark -- CURT class 2 hitches let you Bring It with confidence. These receiver hitches are made to handle most light-duty towing applications and offer a custom fit for your vehicle. Typically used on full-size cars, crossovers, compact SUVs, minivans or even compact pickup trucks, a CURT class 2 trailer hitch complements the design of smaller vehicles. This particular class 2 hitch is made to be a custom hitch for certain years of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (to verify vehicle compatibility, see application info). It offers a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 lbs. TW. Class 2 trailer hitches can typically be used to tow a variety of lightweight trailers, such as a small utility trailer, small fishing boat trailer or popup camper (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component). They are also perfect for adding cargo space to your vehicle with a bike rack or cargo carrier. This class 2 hitch features a 1-1/4" receiver tube to accept a ball mount shank or other hitch-mounted accessory. For safety, it is tested in accordance with SAE J684. A custom trailer hitch design requires extra care, and as such, CURT class 2 hitches are engineered using real vehicles and hands-on research. We use high-strength steel, robotic welding and rigorous testing to produce hitches that are built to fit your lifestyle. To ensure that each hitch will be a reliable extension of your vehicle, we also finish our hitches in a co-curing of liquid A-coat and black powder coat, giving them long-lasting rust and wear resistance.
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 Mitsubishi Outlander and Eclipse Cross (factory tow package required; 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.

Yes, you must temporarily lower the exhaust by removing three rubber hangers: two by the muffler and one just forward of the muffler. Be sure to support the exhaust when removing the rubber hangers. The exhaust is reinstalled after the hitch is mounted.
If a tow loop is present on the passenger side of the vehicle frame, it must be removed. Return the tow loop and bolts to the vehicle owner. If no tow loop is present, this step is not necessary.
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.
Torque all 10mm fasteners to 48 lb-ft and all 1/2" fasteners to 110 lb-ft. After installation, periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound.
The parts list includes: 4 bolts (1/2-13 UNC, 4-1/2", Grade 8), 4 serrated flange nuts (1/2-13 UNC, Grade 8), 2 hex cap screws (M10x1.25, 25mm, Class 10.9), 2 washers (3/8" S-con), 2 pieces of 7/16" fishwire, 2 square hole spacers (.250 x 1.00 x 2.50"), 2 bolts (7/16-14 UNC, 1-1/4", Grade 8), 2 serrated flange nuts (7/16-14 UNC, Grade 8), and 2 spacers (part 12154-SP).
1. Lower the exhaust by removing three rubber hangers (support the exhaust). 2. Remove the tow loop on the passenger side if present. 3. Place two bolts through each 12154-SP spacer plate and install through the frame. 4. Raise the hitch into position and slide bolts through; loosely install hex flange nuts and hex bolts with conical washers (teeth against hitch mounting plate). 5. Torque all 10mm fasteners to 48 lb-ft and all 1/2" fasteners to 110 lb-ft. 6. Reinstall the canister fastener if removed and rubber exhaust hangers.
Fasteners should be loosely installed initially. In step 4, loosely install the supplied hex flange nuts and hex bolts with conical washers. All fasteners are then torqued to their final specifications in step 5: 10mm fasteners to 48 lb-ft and 1/2" fasteners to 110 lb-ft.
If no weld nuts are present in the frame, the supplied short carriage bolts and spacers will need to be fishwired instead and secured with the supplied flange nuts. Fishwire (7/16" fishwire is included) is used to secure the fasteners in this case.
Temporary removal of the canister fastener on the driver side frame rail will aid access but is not required. If you choose to remove it, you must reinstall it after the hitch is mounted.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product. When lowering the exhaust, be sure to support it when removing the rubber hangers to prevent it from falling.
All non-trailer (wheel-less) loads applied to this hitch must be supported by 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty. See the CURT catalog or visit www.curtmfg.com for further information on stabilizing straps.
After installation, periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. This maintenance is important for safe operation.
