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 Buick Encore and Chevy Trax (excluding GX; 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.
A CURT custom wiring harness (also called a T-connector) is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that eliminates the need for cutting, splicing and soldering when installing vehicle-to-trailer wiring. Most vehicles do not come ready to tow. Unless your vehicle has a towing package, it is probably not equipped with a trailer wiring connector. This is where CURT's custom wiring harnesses come into play. Custom wiring harnesses plug into your vehicle's electrical system using original equipment (OEM) connectors. Our custom wiring harnesses use two or more OEM connectors to plug in at the taillight assembly and provide a standard trailer socket to allow a trailer to be plugged into your vehicle's power system. This harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and comes with a circuit-protected converter. It is designed to be a custom wiring harness for certain years of the Chevrolet Trax (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see the CURT application guide at curtmfg.com). CURT custom wiring harnesses are long-lasting and quick to install. They come with dust covers to keep your connector clean when not in use and feature a one-year limited warranty to give you peace of mind.

Yes, part number 11527 is designed for 2013-Present Buick Encore and Chevrolet Trax Crossover models. Verify your vehicle year and model before purchasing.
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.
Required tools include: safety glasses, die grinder, spray lubricant, ratchet, socket extension, 11/16" and 3/4" sockets, and torque wrench. A cut-off wheel is also needed for hole enlargement.
Yes, you must lower rear exhaust hangers from one location on each side of the vehicle. Alternatively, the exhaust can be lowered at one location at the front center, but this must be done slowly and supported from underneath during installation.
Yes. You must enlarge the frame access holes to fit the SP2 spacers, trim wheel well plastic on some model years for a flush fit, and trim caulking around side mounting holes if present. Avoid brake lines when cutting.
Torque all 7/16" hardware to 59 lb-ft, all M12-1.25 hardware to 86 lb-ft, and all M12-1.75 hardware to 79 lb-ft.
Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The hitch is rated for 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight, but your vehicle's limits may be lower.
Non-trailer (wheel-less) loads can only be applied to this hitch if they are supported by CURT 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads voids the product warranty.
The hitch is designed for use with CURT ballmount #45520/D-20, CURT Euro ballmount #45561 (1 7/8" ball), or CURT Euro ballmount #45562 (2" ball).
The kit includes: 6 bolts (7/16-14 UNC, 1-1/4", Grade 8), 4 HHCS M12x1.25 bolts, 4 HHCS M12x1.75 bolts, 6 serrated flange nuts (7/16-14 UNC), 4 conical washers (1/2"), 6 square hole spacers (0.250 x 0.88 x 2.25"), and 6 pieces of 7/16" fishwire.
Two people may be required to ease installation. The manual rates this as a moderate to challenging difficulty level.
Professional installation takes approximately 25 minutes. Novice (DIY) installation takes approximately 60 minutes.
1. Lower rear exhaust hangers from one location on each side (or front center if needed). 2. Trim wheel well plastic on some model years if needed for flush fit. 3. Enlarge frame access holes to fit SP2 spacers. 4. Fishwire spacers and 7/16" bolts through access holes, raise hitch into position, and loosely secure with 7/16" nuts. 5. If no weldnuts exist, fishwire hardware for side mounting points and secure all 7/16" hardware; if weldnuts exist, secure with M12 bolts and 1/2" conical washers. 6. Torque all fasteners to specification and raise exhaust hangers back into position.
Fishwiring is a technique using 7/16" fishwire (included in the kit) to thread fasteners through access holes in the vehicle frame and into mounting points. It is required because the hitch mounts through the frame rails at locations where direct bolt access is not available. The fishwire guides the bolts into position so they can be secured with nuts.
The fastening method depends on your vehicle's frame: if weldnuts already exist in the frame, use M12 bolts and 1/2" conical washers in the side mounting plates. If no weldnuts exist, fishwire the 7/16" hardware through the frame rail and hitch side plates and secure with 7/16" serrated flange nuts.
The frame access holes must be enlarged to accommodate the 0.250 x 0.88 x 2.25" square hole spacers (CM-SP2) included in the kit. The manual specifies an 0.88" diameter enlargement on the diagram but does not provide exact hole size specifications. Contact CURT Technical Support at 877-287-8634 for precise dimensions.
Yes, caulking may need to be trimmed around side mounting holes if present. This is mentioned as a possible requirement during the exhaust lowering step.
On some model years, the wheel well plastic on each side of the vehicle near the frame rails will need to be trimmed to provide a flush fit for the hitch side plates. The manual does not specify which model years require this. Consult with your installer or contact CURT Technical Support at 877-287-8634 to confirm if your vehicle requires this modification.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times during installation. When cutting frame material or plastic, be sure to avoid the vehicle brake lines. If lowering the exhaust at the front center, lower it slowly and support it from underneath during installation.
After installation, 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.
The manual states to periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound, but does not specify an exact inspection interval. For safety, inspect before each towing use and at regular intervals during the towing season.
CURT Manufacturing warrants this product to be free of defects in material and/or workmanship at the time of retail purchase by the original purchaser. If defective, CURT may repair or replace the product at their option when returned prepaid with proof of purchase. Alteration, misuse, or improper installation voids the warranty.
The CURT 11527 complies with safety specifications and requirements for connecting devices and towing systems of the state of New York, V.E.S.C. Regulation V-5 and SAE J684.
On some model years, the wheel well plastic on each side of the vehicle near the frame rails will need to be trimmed to provide a flush fit for the hitch side plates. Carefully trim away the plastic while avoiding the vehicle brake lines. If the fit is still not flush after plastic trimming, verify that the frame access holes have been enlarged sufficiently to accommodate the SP2 spacers.
The frame access holes must be enlarged to fit the 0.250 x 0.88 x 2.25" square hole spacers. Use a die grinder with a cut-off wheel to enlarge the holes. Be sure to avoid the vehicle brake lines when cutting the frame material away. If you are uncertain about the correct hole size, contact CURT Technical Support at 877-287-8634.
Lower the rear exhaust hangers from one location on each side of the vehicle. If this does not provide sufficient clearance, the exhaust can also be lowered at one location at the front center of the vehicle. This location must be lowered slowly and supported from underneath during installation. Raise the exhaust hangers back into position after the hitch is secured.
The CURT 56419 is a powered converter lead and custom wiring harness system designed for SUVs and vans. It converts vehicle taillight signals to a 4-flat trailer connector, allowing you to tow a trailer with integrated lighting. The system includes a black converter box, custom wiring harness with color-coded wires (yellow for left turn, green for right turn, red for brake, brown for taillight), power lead, ground wire, and a 4-flat dust cover.
The CURT 56419 is designed for SUVs and vans. The manual shows representative wiring locations (S1–S10) for these vehicle types. For specific vehicle year, make, and model compatibility, consult the CURT fitment database or contact the manufacturer, as the manual does not list individual vehicle applications.
Yes. The converter system is designed only for 12-volt negative ground systems. If your vehicle uses a different electrical system, this product is not compatible.
You will need: ratchet, 10mm socket, socket extension, T-45 Torx bit, panel trim removal tool, cutting tool, wire crimper, wire stripper, and electrical tape. These tools are required to remove interior panels, disconnect fasteners, and prepare and connect the wiring harness.
The kit includes a black converter box, custom wiring harness with color-coded wires (yellow, green, red, brown), white ground wire with ring terminal, black power wire, provided ground screw, double-sided tape for converter box mounting, cable ties, 4-flat dust cover, and a 15-amp fuse holder. A 15-amp 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 during the installation process. Reconnect it only after all other steps are complete and the 15-amp fuse has been installed.
You must remove: all floor and rear cargo area coverings, place rear seats in the down position, remove two fasteners securing the floor support and cargo bins using a T-45 Torx bit, remove foam from the back of the vehicle, remove the rear scuff panel (using a 10mm socket to remove two cargo tie downs), and remove two cargo tie downs on the side walls just behind the rear seats. Use a panel trim removal tool to loosen the side wall plastic on both sides.
On the driver side, pull back the lower side wall to locate the vehicle taillight wiring connectors. Separate the connectors from the taillight housing, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Insert the custom wiring harness end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with the locking tabs in place. Repeat this process on the passenger side using the wiring end with the green wire.
Locate a flat, clean surface that is out of the path of spray and debris from the rear wheels and road. Mount the converter box using the provided double-sided tape. Failure to mount the box in a protected area can cause loss of warranty, product failure, overheating, and potential fire. The area must be free from rust, dirt, and paint.
You should first locate an existing screw or bolt in the vehicle frame near the converter box to use as a grounding point. If no suitable existing fastener is available, you may drill a 3/32" pilot hole. The area must be free from rust, dirt, and paint; use an abrasive pad or paper to clean it. Secure the white ground wire with the ring terminal on the existing fastener or with the provided ground screw. Always check for hidden items behind or under any surface before drilling to avoid damage and personal injury.
When passing the power wire through sheet metal, use an existing grommet, add a new grommet, or use silicone to protect the power wire from sharp edges. This prevents damage to the wire insulation and potential electrical hazards.
Signal circuits (left and right turn): 5.5 amps per side. Tail/running circuits: 7.5 amps total. The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 15-amp maximum fuse. Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
The power wire is 12 gauge (12 GA) or larger. Route this wire from the vehicle battery, taking care to avoid pinch points and hot or rotating components.
Yellow = left turn signal, Green = right turn signal, Red = brake signal, Brown = taillight (running light). These color-coded wires connect to the vehicle's taillight connectors and transmit the corresponding signals to the trailer connector.
The maximum fuse rating is 15 amps. The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 15-amp fuse. Install the fuse after all other installation steps are complete. Exceeding this rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating, and potential fire.
When not in use, roll up the 4-flat connector and store it in a convenient, out-of-the-way location inside the trunk. When in use, route the 4-flat to the center of the vehicle and out of the trunk. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
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 15-amp maximum fuse.
Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury. This is especially important when drilling the 3/32" ground hole or when routing the power wire through sheet metal.
Route the 12-gauge power wire to the vehicle battery location, taking care to avoid pinch points and hot or rotating components. Secure the power wire to the vehicle chassis using the provided cable ties. When passing through sheet metal, use an existing grommet, add a new grommet, or use silicone to protect the wire from sharp edges. Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before wiring the power wire.
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 confirms that all signal circuits and power connections are working correctly before final use.
Periodic inspection of all wires and connections should be performed to ensure there is no visible damage or loose connections. This helps maintain proper function and prevent electrical hazards.
Yes. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion of the connector when it is not in use.
The CURT 56419 is designed for SUVs and vans with 12-volt negative ground electrical systems. Check the CURT fitment database or contact the manufacturer for your specific vehicle year, make, and model.
Yes, disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting installation. Reconnect it only after all steps are complete and the 15-amp fuse is installed.
Drilling may be required only if no existing screw or bolt is available near the converter box for grounding. If needed, drill a 3/32" pilot hole. Always check for hidden items before drilling.
