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 Chevy Equinox (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 4,500 lbs. GTW and 675 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 4,500 lbs. WD and 675 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.
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 Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain (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.

The hitch weight is 30 lbs.
Required tools are: ratchet, 15 mm and 3/4" sockets, 6" socket extension, T15 Torx bit socket, pry bar, torque wrench, rotary tool, and safety glasses. Proper tools greatly improve installation quality and reduce installation time.
The hitch includes: 6 carriage bolts (1/2-13 UNC, 1-1/2", Grade 8, part number 10-10287), 6 serrated flange nuts (1/2-13 UNC, Grade 8, part number 20-00062), 6 square hole spacers (0.250 x 1.00 x 3.00", part number CM-SP6), and 6 pieces of 1/2" fishwire (part number 1_2 FISHWIRE).
No drilling is required. The hitch uses existing frame rail access holes. However, you must slightly enlarge the access holes on both the driver and passenger side frame rails to allow the hardware to fit.
Yes. You must slightly enlarge the access holes on both the driver and passenger side frame rails to allow the hardware to fit. The manual indicates the access hole diameter is approximately 1.08". Use a rotary tool to enlarge the holes. This is a permanent modification to the vehicle frame.
Yes. The exhaust must be temporarily lowered during installation. Remove the 4 bolts from the rear exhaust hanger brackets (2 per side) using a 15 mm socket, then remove the exhaust rubber isolator in front of the muffler. Be sure to support the exhaust during this process. After hitch installation is complete, reinstall the exhaust.
Two people may be required to ease installation. The manual recommends reading all instructions thoroughly before beginning and notes that using proper tools will greatly improve the quality of the install and reduce the time required. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance.
Professional installation time is approximately 60 minutes. Novice (DIY) installation time is approximately 45 minutes. Actual time may vary depending on experience and familiarity with the vehicle.
The first step is to locate and remove the 2 Torx screws from the rear fascia. Save these screws for reinstallation at the end of the installation process.
After enlarging the access holes on both frame rails, utilize the access hole to fishwire one 1/2" carriage bolt and one spacer into each of the three mounting holes in both frame rails. This allows you to position the bolts through the frame without fully inserting them, making it easier to align the hitch before final tightening.
Raise the hitch into position and secure it to the vehicle using 6 of the 1/2" hex flange nuts (part number 20-00062) included with the hitch. Each nut fastens one of the carriage bolts that was previously fishwired into the frame rails.
Torque all 1/2" hardware to 110 ft-lb. Use a torque wrench to ensure proper tightening. After installation, periodically check that all fasteners remain tight.
After torquing the 1/2" hardware to 110 ft-lb, reinstall the exhaust and the 2 Torx fascia screws that were removed in step 1. This completes the installation.
After installation, verify that all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. The manual recommends periodically checking the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners remain tight and all structural components remain in good condition throughout the life of the hitch.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify an exact interval, but regular inspection is recommended to maintain safe operation.
Safety glasses should be worn at all times while installing this product. When lowering the exhaust, be sure to support it properly to prevent injury or damage. Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity when using the hitch.

Part 56429 is a custom wiring harness for SUVs and vans. It connects your vehicle's electrical system to a trailer via a 4-flat connector mounted near the hitch. The harness provides signal circuits (7.5 amps per side) and tail/running circuits (7.5 amps total) to control trailer lights.
Part 56429 is designed for SUVs and vans. The wiring connector is located behind the center of the rear bumper (location S6). Check your vehicle's owner's manual to confirm your vehicle has a rear bumper-mounted connector location. If your vehicle does not have a connector in this location, this product may not be compatible.
You will need a flat blade screwdriver and a cutting tool. You will also need a test light, 4-flat tester, or a functioning trailer to verify the harness is working after installation.
Yes. Before beginning installation, locate your vehicle battery using your owner's manual and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Fasten this wire down and away from the battery during installation. Reconnect it after all other installation steps are complete.
1. Locate the vehicle wiring connector along the rear bumper (it will look similar to the custom connector end). 2. Separate the vehicle connector from the weather seal connector carefully, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. 3. Insert the custom wiring connector end fully into the vehicle connector, ensuring the locking tabs are in place. 4. Zip tie the harness into place and mount the 4-flat connector near the hitch.
After connecting the harness, reinstall all items you removed during installation. If you disconnected the negative battery terminal at the start, reconnect it now. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion. Then verify the harness is functioning by connecting the battery and testing with a test light, 4-flat tester, or a functioning trailer.
Do not exceed the product rating or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Check your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for your specific lamp load rating.
Signal circuits are rated at 7.5 amps per side. Tail and running circuits are rated at 7.5 amps total.
After reconnecting the battery, verify the harness is functioning by using a test light, 4-flat tester, or by connecting a properly wired trailer. This confirms all signal and running circuits are working correctly before towing.
Perform periodic inspection of all wires and connections to ensure there is no visible damage or loose connections. This helps prevent electrical failures and corrosion.
The 4-flat dust cover is a protective cover provided with part 56429. Install it on the 4-flat connector after completing the wiring harness installation to help prevent corrosion of the connector.
Mount the 4-flat connector near the hitch after zip tying the harness into place.
You need a flat blade screwdriver, cutting tool, and a test light or 4-flat tester to verify installation. A functioning trailer can also be used for testing.
Yes, disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting installation and reconnect it after completing all other steps.
Signal circuits: 7.5 amps per side. Tail/running circuits: 7.5 amps total.
