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 Honda Accord (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 Lexus RX Series (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 11681 is designed for Honda Accord (all) from 2013 onwards, covering all body styles.
The Curt 11681 has a gross load capacity of 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
The Curt 11681 is designed for use with ball mount D-55001 or 45501. Euro mount options are available: part number 45571 (1-7/8" ball) and 45572 (2" ball).
No, drilling is not required. The hitch uses fishwire hardware inserted through existing access holes in both frame rails.
Required tools are: pry bar, ratchet, sockets (10mm, 9/16", and 11/16"), torque wrench, aviation shears, tape measure, and safety glasses.
Two people may be required to ease installation, though it is not strictly mandatory. The manual notes that using proper tools will greatly improve the quality of the install and reduce the time required.
The first step is to lower the exhaust by removing two rubber exhaust isolators for single exhaust vehicles or three isolators for dual exhaust vehicles. Save these isolators for reinstallation.
Remove the heat shield(s) by removing four fasteners per shield. Save all fasteners for reinstallation later.
Fishwire 7/16"-14 x 1 1/4" carriage bolts with CM-SP2 spacers into position through access holes in both frame rails. Leave fishwires attached to prevent loss of hardware inside the frame rail. Later, insert the fishwires through mounting holes in the hitch to raise it into position.
Insert the 3/8" U-bolt through the tow hook. Then insert fishwires through mounting holes in the hitch and raise the hitch into position. Secure it to the U-bolt with 3/8"-16 hex flange nuts.
Torque all 7/16" hardware to 70 ft-lbs and all 3/8" hardware to 45 ft-lbs.
If an underbody panel is present, trim it and slide the hitch bracket through the trimmed section. Then raise the underbody panel into position and reinstall fasteners.
Trim heat shield(s) around the hitch. The trim dimensions shown in the heat shield trimming diagram are approximate (approximately 4 inches on top, 3 inches on the sides, and 4 inches on the bottom). You must confirm fit prior to trimming. One fastener per shield will not be reinstalled after trimming.
Reinstall the heat shield(s) with the hardware removed in step 2. Bend the heat shield over the hitch as needed. Note that one fastener per shield will not be reinstalled.
Raise the exhaust and reattach the rubber isolators that were removed in step 1. Installation is then complete.
The kit includes: 2 x 7/16"-14 UNC carriage bolts (part 10-10281), 2 x 0.250 x 0.88 x 2.25" square hole spacers (CM-SP2), 2 x 7/16"-14 UNC serrated flange nuts (20-00103), 1 x 3/8"-16 x 1.00 x 1.88 U-bolt, 2 x 3/8"-16 UNC serrated flange nuts (20-00102), and 2 x 7/16" fishwires.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product. Before you begin installation, read all instructions thoroughly.
All non-trailer (wheel-less) loads applied to this hitch must be supported by Curt 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound.

CURT 56564 is designed for SUVs and Vans with factory trailer towing harness connectors and 12-volt negative ground electrical systems. Your vehicle must have an existing factory trailer towing harness connector underneath the vehicle on the driver's side. If your vehicle does not have this connector, this product will not function. Contact CURT Product Support at 877-287-8634 to confirm compatibility with your specific make, model and year.
CURT 56564 is a powered converter lead and T-connector harness system that integrates a vehicle's factory trailer towing harness with a lighting module. It allows you to connect a trailer with functioning lights to your SUV or van. The system includes a white 10-pin towing connector, a 4-way flat connector for the trailer, a lighting module, a powered converter with battery connection, and mounting hardware.
You will need: a trim panel tool, wire cutters, a test light, and a multimeter. These tools are required to remove trim panels safely, cut and route wires, and verify proper electrical function after installation.
Yes. You must disconnect the negative battery cable from the driver's side of the engine compartment before beginning installation. Ensure the negative battery cable is isolated to protect it from creating an electrical system ground. Reconnect the negative battery terminal only after all other installation steps are complete (Step 8).
Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning. Proper tools will improve installation quality and reduce time required. All steps must be followed to ensure the product functions properly. The installation is rated as Difficult, so ensure you have adequate time, proper tools, and understanding of the procedure before starting.
Mount the lighting module on a flat, clean surface either behind the threshold or in the lower passenger's side trim panel area. Use the provided double-sided tape or zip ties to secure it in an out-of-the-way location where it will not interfere with vehicle operation or occupants.
Insert the lighting module's white 10-pin towing connector into the vehicle's mating harness (located behind the passenger-side trim panel after removing the side panel mounting pins). This connector links the module to the factory trailer towing system.
The factory trailer towing harness connector is located underneath the vehicle on the driver's side. It has a protective plug that must be carefully removed before inserting the trailer tow harness. Take care not to damage the connector mounting tabs when removing the protective plug.
Place the protective connector cap in the glove box or console for storage. Do not discard it. You may need it in the future if the connector is disconnected.
Route the 4-way flat connector along the rear bumper fascia and over to the center of the vehicle. Secure the 4-way connector into a bracket (not included with the product). Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties to prevent movement and damage.
Drilling may be required only if you need to ground the white ground wire from the powered converter to the vehicle body. A 3/32" hole may be drilled if an existing mounting point is not available. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items that may be behind or under any surface to avoid personal injury or property damage.
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. Install the fuse after all other installation steps are complete.
Signal circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side. Tail and running circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
Use 12 GA (gauge) wire or larger for the power connection from the converter to the vehicle battery. Route this wire to the vehicle battery location, taking care to avoid pinch points and hot or rotating components.
The powered converter uses the following wire colors: Green for right turn signal, Red for brake, Yellow for left turn signal, and Brown for taillight. If using the converter as a powered module for a two-wire system, the red brake wire must be grounded.
Route the 12 GA black power wire to the positive (+) battery terminal using a ring terminal. The negative battery cable must be disconnected before wiring the power wire. Use the ring terminal for the battery connection and secure it with the screw provided. Install the fuse holder with a 10-amp maximum fuse after all other steps are complete.
Attach the ring terminal of the white ground wire to the vehicle body using the screw provided. If an existing mounting point is not available, drill a 3/32" hole. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items behind or under the surface to avoid injury or damage.
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.
The provided 4-way dust cover helps prevent corrosion of the 4-way flat connector. Install it after reconnecting the negative battery terminal to protect the connector from moisture and environmental damage.
CURT 56564 is designed for use only on 12-volt negative ground electrical systems. Your vehicle must have a negative ground system for this product to function correctly.
Do not lay tools across the positive battery terminal (typically noted with red covers or a red '+' symbol), as this can cause a ground short leading to sparks and/or electrical shocks. Disconnect the negative battery cable before wiring the power wire. Ensure the negative battery cable is isolated to protect it from creating an electrical system ground, as grounding it to a metal item could damage the vehicle's electrical system.
After installation, verify that the harness is functioning by using a test light, 4-way tester, multimeter, or by attaching the 4-way flat connector to any trailer with functioning lights. This confirms that all electrical connections are correct and the system is ready for use.
Periodic inspection of all wires and connections should be performed to ensure there is no visible damage or loose connections. Regular maintenance helps prevent electrical failures and ensures safe trailer operation.
CURT 56564 fits SUVs and vans with factory trailer towing harness connectors and 12-volt negative ground systems. Your vehicle must have an existing factory trailer towing harness connector. Contact CURT at 877-287-8634 to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
Yes, disconnect the negative battery cable before starting installation. Reconnect it only after all other steps are complete.
Drilling may be required only to ground the white ground wire to the vehicle body if an existing mounting point is not available. A 3/32" hole is drilled if necessary.
Use 12 GA (gauge) wire or larger for the power connection from the converter to the vehicle battery.
CURT 56564 is designed for 12-volt negative ground electrical systems only.
Ensure you have located the correct mating harness connector behind the passenger-side trim panel. The connector should be a white 10-pin type. If the connector does not fit, do not force it, as this can damage the connector tabs. Verify that the vehicle has a factory trailer towing system and that you are using the correct product for your vehicle. Contact CURT Product Support at 877-287-8634 for assistance.
Verify that the harness is functioning by using a test light, 4-way tester, multimeter, or by attaching the 4-way flat connector to a trailer with functioning lights. If the test light does not illuminate, check that: (1) the negative battery cable is properly reconnected, (2) the white 10-pin connector is fully seated in the vehicle's mating harness, (3) the factory trailer towing harness connector is properly inserted, (4) the 10-amp fuse is installed and not blown, and (5) all wire connections are secure. If the problem persists, contact CURT Product Support at 877-287-8634.
