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 Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 4,000 lbs. GTW and 600 lbs. TW. 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 Hyundai Palisade, Hyundai Santa Fe, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Telluride and Kia Carnival (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.

CURT part 56420 is designed for SUVs and vans classified as S-series vehicles. The manual does not list specific vehicle makes, models, or years. Contact CURT or consult a fitment database to confirm compatibility with your exact vehicle before purchasing.
CURT 56420 is a custom wiring harness for SUVs and vans that connects the vehicle's factory electrical system to a trailer connector. It includes a converter box, 4-flat connector, fuse holder, and cable ties. The harness allows you to power trailer lights and signals from your vehicle's existing lighting circuits.
You will need: a ratchet, a 14mm socket, a socket extension, a panel trim removal tool, and a cutting tool. These are the minimum tools required for installation.
Yes. Step 1 requires you to locate the vehicle battery on the driver side in the engine compartment and disconnect the negative terminal. Fasten this wire down and away from the battery during installation. Reconnect it in Step 5 after all other work is complete.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a maximum of 15 amps. The fuse is provided in the kit and must be installed into the fuse holder in the custom wiring harness during Step 3. Exceeding this rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating, and potential fire.
The manual does not provide a specific torque value for the 14mm bolts. It states only that the 14mm nuts on the shroud are push nuts and should be tightened so they do not cause noise. Contact CURT for the exact torque specification.
Signal circuits are rated at 5.0 amps per side. Tail and running circuits are rated at 7.5 amps total. Do not exceed the product rating or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
The wiring harness is installed behind the driver side rear bumper (location S5). The converter box is adhered to a flat spot near the factory harness area using provided double-sided tape. The 4-flat connector is routed along the back of the vehicle to the hitch.
In Step 3, remove the dust cover from the harness without damaging the locking tabs. Insert the custom wiring harness end into the OEM (factory) harness. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Then install the provided fuse into the fuse holder in the custom wiring harness.
In Step 2, locate the plastic shroud below the driver-side rear bumper cover. Remove three push fasteners and two 14mm bolts (which are attached to the shroud). These bolts are push nuts and should be tightened so they do not cause noise when reinstalled.
In Step 4, route the 4-flat connector along the back of the vehicle to the hitch. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties to prevent movement and damage.
The black converter box is part of the CURT 56420 harness assembly. In Step 4, locate a flat spot near the factory harness area and adhere the converter box using the provided double-sided tape. This box converts the vehicle's factory lighting signals to the 4-flat trailer connector format.
Do not lay tools across the positive terminal (typically labeled with red covers or a red '+' symbol). This can cause a ground short, resulting in sparks and/or electrical shocks. After disconnecting the negative terminal in Step 1, fasten this wire down and away from the battery during the entire installation.
After installation, test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer. This will verify that all signal and running circuits are functioning correctly before towing.
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.
The kit includes a custom wiring harness with connector, a converter box, a 4-flat connector with dust cover, a fuse (15-amp max), a fuse holder, double-sided tape, and cable ties. All components are needed for proper installation.
CURT 56420 is designed for SUVs and vans (S-series vehicles). Consult a fitment database or contact CURT to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle make, model, and year.
Yes. Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting installation and reconnect it after all work is complete.
No drilling is required. The converter box is adhered using provided double-sided tape, and the harness connects to the factory connector without drilling.
Do not exceed the product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating. Do not lay tools across the positive battery terminal, as this can cause sparks or electrical shocks.
Periodically inspect all wires and connections for visible damage or loose connections. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to prevent corrosion.
The CURT 13609 trailer hitch has a gross trailer weight (GTW) capacity of 4,000 lbs and a tongue weight (TW) capacity of 600 lbs. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower than the hitch rating.
The manual confirms that CURT 13609 is designed for Kia Sorento models. However, the manual does not specify which model years or body styles are supported. Contact CURT product support at 877-287-8634 or check curtmfg.com to confirm your specific vehicle year and configuration are compatible.
You will need: torque wrench, ratchet, 3" socket extension, 6" socket extension, exhaust removal tool, flathead screwdriver, 3/8" socket, 19mm socket, and 1" or larger wrench. For a complete tools reference guide, visit curtmfg.com/trailer-hitch-installation.
The kit includes 6 hex bolts (M12-1.25 x 40mm) and 6 conical-toothed washers (1/2"). The hitch uses existing M12 weldnuts already present in your vehicle's frame rails.
Yes. For models with a spare tire, you must loosen the spare tire carrier nut using a 3/8" socket and lower the spare tire before installation. The spare tire is reinstalled in the final step after the hitch is mounted.
Yes, for Kia Sorento models only. Remove the three lower plastic clips on the driver side near the wheel well and pull the cover straight down. If it does not come free, unscrew the two upper plastic nuts by hand until you can remove the cover. The cover is reinstalled after the hitch is mounted.
Yes. You must remove the four rearmost exhaust hanger rods from the three rubber isolators and support the exhaust with a stand to prevent damage. The exhaust is reinstalled after the hitch is mounted.
If additional clearance is needed between the hitch and exhaust after installation, you must remove the rearmost rubber isolator from the frame-rail exhaust hanger rod and adjust the rail exhaust hanger rod down approximately five degrees using a box end wrench. The rubber isolator is then reinstalled. This adjustment is only performed if clearance is inadequate after initial mounting.
Raise the hitch into position by sliding the passenger side of the hitch over the exhaust first. Then align the three holes on both sides of the hitch with the three weld nuts in the frame rails on both sides of the vehicle.
Loosely install three hex bolts (M12-1.25 x 40mm) and three conical-toothed washers on each side of the hitch into the hitch holes and weld nuts in the frame rails. The conical-toothed washers should be oriented with the teeth facing the frame. Do not fully tighten until all bolts are installed.
All M12 fasteners must be torqued to 60 ft-lbs.
If exhaust hanger removal pliers are not available, use a 5/8" open end wrench. Slide the wrench up to the rubber isolator, cradling the hanger rod. Place the flat edge of a pry bar between the wrench and the hanger stop or hanger rod, then rotate the pry bar toward the wrench to remove the rubber isolator. Using a lubricant or soapy water on the hanger rod and isolator helps removal.
To remove debris from weldnuts in the frame, spray lubricant or compressed air into the hole. For heavy debris, use a wire brush. Take care not to damage the threads.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product. Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
After installation, inspect the hitch and exhaust to ensure there is adequate clearance between them. If additional clearance is needed, adjust the rail exhaust hanger rod down approximately five degrees using a box end wrench and reinstall the rubber isolator.
Periodic inspection of the trailer hitch should be performed to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight and structural components are secure. The manual does not specify the exact interval; consult your vehicle owner's manual or contact CURT at 877-287-8634 for recommended inspection frequency.
