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 Liberty (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 5,000 lbs. GTW and 500 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 7,500 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 Chrysler Aspen and Pacifica, Dodge Dakota, Durango, Dodge Ram 2500, 1500 Van, 2500 Van, Dodge Sprinter 2500 and 3500, Jeep Commander, Grand Cherokee and Liberty and Mitsubishi Raider (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 Curt 13245 is a receiver hitch designed for Jeep Liberty models from 2008 to current. It can be used as either a weight-carrying hitch with a maximum trailer weight of 5,000 lbs and tongue weight of 500 lbs, or as a weight-distribution hitch with a maximum trailer weight of 7,500 lbs and tongue weight of 750 lbs. The hitch itself weighs 34 lbs.
Yes, the Curt 13245 is designed for Jeep Liberty models from 2008 to current. If your vehicle is a Liberty within this year range, this hitch is compatible.
The Curt 13245 supports a maximum trailer weight of 5,000 lbs and tongue weight of 500 lbs when used as a weight-carrying hitch, or 7,500 lbs trailer weight and 750 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-distribution hitch. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower than these hitch ratings.
You will need: a 3/8" drive ratchet, an 18mm 3/8" drive socket, a 19mm 3/8" drive socket, a 3/8" drive torque wrench, and safety glasses. The manual notes that using proper tools will greatly improve the quality of the install and reduce the time required.
The hitch includes 6 washers (S-CON, 1/2", part number 30-00149) and 6 hex head cap screws M12x1.75, 40mm, Class 10.9 (part number 10-10386). These fasteners are used to attach the hitch to the vehicle frame.
No, drilling is not required. The hitch uses existing weld nuts in the frame rails on both sides of the vehicle.
Two people may be required to ease installation. The manual recommends having a second person available, though it does not state that a second person is absolutely mandatory.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product.
1. Remove the bolt from the driver's side vehicle support bracket and return it to the vehicle owner. 2. Raise the hitch into position. 3. Position the hitch over the frame and support bracket on the driver side and loosely install the supplied fasteners. 4. Torque all 12mm fasteners to 79 lb-ft. The installation is then complete.
All 12mm fasteners must be torqued to 79 lb-ft.
You must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. While the Curt 13245 is rated for up to 5,000 lbs trailer weight and 500 lbs tongue weight (weight-carrying) or 7,500 lbs trailer weight and 750 lbs tongue weight (weight-distribution), your vehicle's manufacturer may specify a lower limit. Always follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommendation, which is the controlling limit.
After installation, periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection is important for safe operation.
The manual instructs you to periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The specific interval is not defined in the manual; however, regular inspection before towing is recommended as a best practice.

Part 55381 fits Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models equipped with a factory 7-way connector. If your vehicle has the factory 7-way connector, this harness is compatible. Vehicles without the factory 7-way connector are not supported by this product.
Yes, part 55381 is compatible with Jeep Grand Cherokee models that have a factory 7-way connector. The harness is designed to work with the factory 7-way connector on this vehicle.
Yes, part 55381 fits Dodge Sprinter 2500 and 3500 models, as well as Freightliner Sprinter 2500 and 3500 models, provided they have a factory 7-way connector.
Yes. The 55381 custom wiring harness is designed to work only with vehicles equipped with a factory 7-way connector. The harness is inserted between the factory 7-way connector and the vehicle wiring harness. Vehicles without a factory 7-way connector cannot use this product.
The 55381 is a custom wiring harness that connects between your vehicle's factory 7-way connector and the vehicle wiring harness. It allows you to use aftermarket trailers and towing equipment with your vehicle's existing electrical system.
The manual does not specify any special tools required. The installation involves locating the factory 7-way connector under the driver side bumper, removing mounting screws or bolts, separating connectors by pressing a red locking tab, and reinstalling components. Standard hand tools for removing fasteners should be sufficient.
The factory 7-way connector is located under the bumper on the driver side of the vehicle, near the taillight wiring harness. The exact location varies by vehicle type: on SUVs, vans and pickup trucks, look behind the driver side taillight housing (location S1 for SUVs/vans, T1 for pickup trucks).
Carefully press the red locking tab on the connector sideways and pull the connectors apart. Take care not to damage the locking tabs during this process. Once separated, ensure the mating surfaces of both connectors are free of dirt and clean if necessary before proceeding.
Insert the custom wiring harness between the separated factory 7-way connector and vehicle wiring harness. Make sure both connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Push the red locking tabs back to their original position to secure the connection.
Reinstall all items you removed during installation. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion of the connectors.
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. Check your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for your specific tow vehicle lamp load rating.
Before drilling to avoid damage and personal injury, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface. However, the standard installation of the 55381 does not require drilling—it is a connector-based installation.
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 wiring harness will function properly.
The 55381 fits Chrysler Aspen and Pacifica, Dodge Dakota, Durango, Ram 1500/2500/3500, Ram vans, and Sprinter vans, Freightliner Sprinter vans, Jeep Commander, Grand Cherokee, and Liberty, and Mitsubishi Raider—all with factory 7-way connectors. Check your vehicle's documentation to confirm it has a factory 7-way connector.
No. The 55381 is a connector-based installation that requires no drilling, cutting, or permanent modifications. It connects between your factory 7-way connector and vehicle wiring harness.
Do not exceed the product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding the rating can cause overheating and fire. Check your vehicle owner's manual for the tow vehicle lamp load rating.
Test for proper function using a test light or by connecting a properly wired trailer. Ensure all installation steps have been completed.
