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 Jeep Cherokee KL (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 5,500 lbs. WD and 750 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 Jeep Cherokee (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, the CURT 13395 is designed for 2019-present Jeep Cherokee SUVs. Confirm your vehicle year and model match before purchasing.
Yes, the CURT 13395 fits Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk models. However, Trailhawk installation differs: you must remove the rear vertical and horizontal M14 existing bolts from the frame with a 21mm socket and save them for reassembly. Only the reverse fishwire hardware and the M14 bolts removed are used during installation.
The CURT 13395 has two capacity ratings depending on how it is used. As a weight-carrying hitch: 4,500 lbs trailer weight and 675 lbs tongue weight. As a weight distribution hitch: 5,500 lbs trailer weight and 750 lbs tongue weight. Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
The hitch weighs 70 lbs.
The CURT 13395 includes: 6 Grade 8 yellow zinc plated 1/2"-13 UNC bolts (1-1/2" long, part 10-10287), 6 Grade 8 yellow zinc plated 1/2"-13 UNC serrated flange nuts (part 20-00062), 6 pieces of 1/2" fishwire (part 1_2 FISHWIRE), and 6 square hole spacers 0.250" × 1.00" × 3.00" (part CM-SP6).
Required tools: ratchet, torque wrench, sockets (13mm, 15mm, 21mm, 3/4"), 9" socket extension, aviation shears, and safety glasses. Proper tools greatly improve installation quality and reduce time required.
No, drilling is not required to install the CURT 13395. The hitch uses existing frame access holes for hardware routing.
Yes, you must temporarily remove the exhaust system. The exhaust is removed by unbolting the hanger bracket and clamp, then reinstalled after the hitch is secured. No other permanent part removal is required.
Two people may be required to ease installation. The manual recommends having a second person available to help, though the installation may be possible with one person.
Installation time varies by experience level. Professional installers typically complete the installation in 42 minutes. Novice DIY installers should allow 70 minutes.
The first step is to remove the exhaust system. Remove the two bolts connecting the exhaust hanger bracket from the frame using a 13mm socket on both sides. Then use a 15mm socket to loosen the exhaust clamp just forward of the muffler and remove the rear portion of the exhaust from the vehicle. Support the exhaust from underneath during the installation process.
Fishwire is used to route hardware through the frame access holes. In Step 3, you thread the rear and side hardware through the access hole in the frame using fishwire, then reverse the fishwire to pull the hardware into the access hole on both sides. This allows you to secure the hitch without drilling new holes.
After fishwiring the hardware through the frame access holes, raise the hitch into position and loosely secure it with the hardware. Be careful not to push the hardware inside the vehicle frame. Do not fully tighten the fasteners at this stage; they are tightened to final torque specification in Step 5.
Trimming of the exhaust bezel may be required on some models. After raising the hitch into position, check the trim fitment around the hitch. Additional trimming may be required, and seam foam may need to be trimmed for proper fitment. The extent of trimming varies by vehicle condition and configuration.
Torque the 1/2" hardware to 110 lb-ft. If M14 hardware is present (on Trailhawk models), torque those bolts to 139 lb-ft. Use a calibrated torque wrench to ensure proper fastener tension.
On Trailhawk models, torque the M14 hardware to 139 lb-ft. These are the existing factory bolts removed from the frame in Step 2 and reused during installation.
The final step is to raise the exhaust back to its original position and secure the exhaust bracket bolts. If a wire was removed from the passenger side frame rail in Step 2, reattach it to its original position. After completion, periodically check that all fasteners remain tight and all structural components are sound.
Trailhawk models require additional steps: In Step 2, remove the rear vertical and horizontal M14 existing bolts from the frame using a 21mm socket and save them for reassembly. If a wire is present on the passenger side frame rail, unfasten it by pulling the retainer out of the frame and let it hang below the frame rail. In Step 3, only the reverse fishwire hardware and the M14 bolts removed in Step 2 are used for Trailhawk installation. Torque the M14 bolts to 139 lb-ft in Step 5.
If a wire is present on the passenger side frame rail (typically on Trailhawk models), unfasten it by pulling the retainer out of the frame and let the wire hang below the frame rail during installation. After the hitch is secured and the exhaust is reinstalled, reattach the wire to its original position.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing the CURT 13395. Support the exhaust from underneath during removal and installation to prevent injury. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance. Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning installation.
Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The CURT 13395 supports up to 4,500 lbs trailer weight (weight-carrying) or 5,500 lbs (weight distribution), but your vehicle's manufacturer specifications may be lower and must be followed.
After installation, verify that all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. Periodically check the hitch during use to ensure fasteners remain tight and components remain in good condition. Retorque fasteners if any loosening is detected.
Periodically check the CURT 13395 to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify an exact inspection interval, but regular checks before and after towing are recommended to maintain safety and prevent fastener loosening.

Mount the converter box using the provided double-sided tape on a flat, clean surface that is out of the path of spray and debris from the rear wheels and road. Failure to mount the box in a protected area can cause loss of warranty, product failure, overheating and potential fire.
Route the black 12-gauge power wire from the vehicle battery to the converter, taking care to avoid any pinch points and hot or rotating components. When passing the power wire through sheet metal, use an existing grommet, add a grommet, or use silicone to protect the power wire from sharp edges. Secure the power wire to the vehicle chassis using the provided cable ties.
You may use an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame as a grounding point, or drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw if no suitable existing point is available. The area should be free of rust, dirt and paint. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
The CURT 56406 uses the following wire colors: Yellow for left turn signal, Green for right turn signal, Red for brake, and Brown for taillight. The white wire is the ground wire. The black wire connects to the positive battery terminal.
Locate the vehicle taillight wiring harness connectors. Separate the connectors from the taillight housing, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Insert the custom wiring harness end (yellow wire for driver side, green wire for passenger side) between the separated connectors. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Then reinstall the taillight.
Secure the 4-flat to the center of the vehicle in a convenient, out-of-the-way location or to the rear hitch. Use the provided cable ties to secure any loose wires. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
Once installed, test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer. All steps must be followed to ensure the product will function properly.
Periodic inspection of all wires and connections should be performed to ensure there is no visible damage or loose connections.
