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 Nissan Kicks (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 Nissan Kicks (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.

Yes, CURT part number 11563 is designed for 2019-Present Nissan Kicks CUV models. This is a weight-carrying hitch with a maximum trailer weight capacity of 2,000 lbs and tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs.
CURT 11563 is designed for use with ball mount #45521. Euro mount options are available: #45571 (1 7/8" ball) or #45572 (2" ball).
CURT 11563 has a maximum trailer weight capacity of 2,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. You must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
Required tools are: ratchet, torque wrench, 8" socket extension, sockets (10mm, 13mm, 11/16", 15/16"), pry tool, aviation shears, die grinder, and safety glasses. Using proper tools will greatly improve installation quality and reduce installation time.
Yes. You must temporarily remove the emissions canister from the driver side frame rail (1 fastener, 10mm socket). On the passenger side, lower the exhaust by removing 2 exhaust isolators and remove 4 speed nuts to lower the heat shield. These components are reinstalled after hitch installation.
No drilling is required. However, the forward most attachment hole on both sides must be enlarged using a die grinder. The heat shield must also be trimmed as shown in the heat shield trim diagram. All dimensions are approximate; confirm fit prior to trimming.
The heat shield is trimmed as shown in the heat shield trim diagram on page 3. The diagram shows approximate dimensions of 1.00", 2.50", and 10.00". All dimensions are approximate; you must confirm fit prior to trimming. The heat shield is then reinstalled after the hitch is raised into position.
The fishwire technique is used to route fasteners through the frame rail holes. You thread one 7/16" carriage bolt and one CM-SP2 spacer through the enlarged forward hole and out the rear hole on each side. Then you reverse the process, threading another bolt and spacer back through the enlarged forward hole. Refer to the fishwire technique diagram and reverse fishwire diagram in the installation walkthrough for visual guidance.
All 7/16" hardware must be torqued to 59 ft-lbs. This is done after the hitch is raised into position and before reinstalling the emissions canister and exhaust.
CURT 11563 includes: 4 pieces of 7/16" fishwire, 4 spacers (CM-SP2, .250 x .88 x 2.25" square hole), 4 bolts (7/16-14 UNC, 1-1/4", Grade 8, yellow zinc, part 10-10281), and 4 serrated flange nuts (7/16-14 UNC, Grade 8, yellow zinc, part 20-00103).
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.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance. You can call CURT Technical Support at 877-287-8634 for help or questions.
All non-trailer (wheel-less) loads applied to this product must be supported by 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty. For further information, see the CURT catalog or visit www.curtmfg.com.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. This ongoing maintenance is critical to safe operation.

Part 56418 is a wiring harness with powered converter system for SUVs and vans. It converts 12-volt vehicle power to trailer lighting signals (left turn, right turn, brake, and taillight). The system includes a converter box, wiring harness, 4-flat connector, and all necessary hardware for installation.
Part 56418 is designed for SUVs and vans. The manual does not list specific vehicle makes, models or years. Contact Curt Manufacturing or your dealer with your vehicle's year, make and model to confirm fitment.
No. Part 56418 is designed only for 12-volt negative ground systems. It cannot be used on 24-volt vehicles or positive ground systems.
You will need: ratchet, 10mm socket, socket extension, cutting tool, wire crimper, wire stripper, trim panel removal tool, and electrical tape. You will also use cable ties (provided) and a test light or 4-flat tester to verify function after installation.
The kit includes: double-sided tape for mounting the converter box, a ring terminal and screw for the ground wire, cable ties for securing wires, a 4-flat dust cover, and a fuse holder with 10-amp fuse. The fuse must be installed after all other installation steps are complete.
Yes. You must disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation. Secure this wire down and away from the battery while completing the installation. Reconnect it only after all other steps are complete and before testing.
The installation is rated as Easy. However, installation difficulty may vary depending on installer expertise, vehicle condition, and availability of proper tools and equipment.
Open the rear hatch. Starting on the driver side, remove the two taillight fasteners using a 10mm socket. Pull the taillight to the side of the vehicle—do not pull straight out, as alignment pins will cause it to break. Once removed, separate the connectors from the taillight, taking care not to damage the locating tabs. Repeat on the passenger side.
Fishwiring is a technique to push or pull an electrical wire through a blind hole. For part 56418, you route a fishwire (which can be a cut-up wire hanger, stiff wire, rope or string) down between the vehicle body and bumper cover. Locate it on the other side, use tape to secure the harness to the fishwire, and pull it back up. If the wire gets hung up, push back down, wiggle it around, or twist it to loosen it.
Route the green wire along the backside of the bumper cover. Use cable ties as needed to secure the wire in place. This applies to both driver and passenger sides.
Locate a flat spot inside the vehicle near the yellow wire and adhere the converter box using the provided double-sided tape. The area should be clean and flat to ensure proper adhesion.
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. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint. Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw.
Route the 4-flat connector to the trailer hitch and mount it in an easy-to-access location. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties. After installation is complete, install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
Drilling may be required only for the ground wire connection. If no suitable existing screw with nut is available in the vehicle frame near the connector, you must drill a 3/32" pilot hole. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
Drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the ground wire screw. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint before drilling.
The wiring harness uses the following color code: Yellow = Left turn, Green = Right turn, Red = Brake, Brown = Taillight. The converter also has a black power wire (connects to positive battery) and white ground wire (connects to vehicle frame).
Use 12 GA wire or larger for the power lead from the vehicle battery to the converter. Route this wire to the positive battery terminal, taking care to avoid pinch points and hot or rotating components.
Use a 10-amp fuse maximum. The fuse holder with 10-amp fuse is provided. Install the fuse after all other installation steps are complete. Do not exceed this rating, as exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
When passing the 12 GA power wire through sheet metal, use an existing grommet, add a new grommet, or use silicone to protect the power wire from sharp edges.
Signal circuits (left turn, right turn): 6.0 amps per side. Tail/Running circuits: 3.0 amps total. Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface. This is critical to avoid damage to vehicle components and personal injury.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse. Exceeding this rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
After connecting the 12-volt power wire to the harness, verify that the harness is functioning by attaching the battery and testing with a test light, 4-flat tester, or a functioning trailer. This must be done before considering the installation complete.
Periodic inspection of all wires and connections should be performed to ensure there is no visible damage or loose connections. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion of the connector.
Yes. Disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation and reconnect it only after all other steps are complete.
