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 GMC Acadia (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 5,000 lbs. GTW and 750 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 and harnesses are the easiest way to outfit your vehicle with a trailer wiring connection for towing. Each one is custom-fitted to work with a specific make and model. This particular 7-way RV blade socket is designed to be a custom wiring option for certain years of the Chevy Blazer, Cadillac XT5, XT6 and GMC Acadia (see application info to verify fitment). It provides a universal trailer connection for the tail lights, brake lights, reverse lights, turn signals, electronic trailer brakes and auxiliary power. 7prong taillight wiring can be used as a replacement or new wiring and is typically used for towing fifth wheel and gooseneck trailers. This 7 way female outlet comes with all necessary hardware to establish a solid connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector socket clean when not in use. All CURT custom wiring connectors are made vehicle-specific for the easiest possible installation and the best fit. Some automotive manufacturers install a special socket on the vehicle to be used for vehicle-to-trailer wiring. Although this factory tow package 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. Instead of cutting, splicing and soldering into your vehicle's wiring system, the custom wiring connector uses a single OEM compatible plug and instantly provides a standard vehicle-to-trailer hitch wiring connection. To ensure long-lasting reliability, all CURT custom tconnector wiring is thoroughly tested for optimal functionality.

No, drilling is not required. The hitch uses existing frame holes and access holes. Trimming of the exhaust heat shield is required.
Required tools are: torque wrench, ratchet, 15mm socket, 11/16" socket, 8" socket extension, pliers (needle nose for speed nuts), utility knife, aviation shears, and safety glasses. A 15mm socket may also help with removing rearmost exhaust brackets to ease lowering the exhaust.
The kit includes 6 carriage bolts (7/16-14 UNC, 1-1/4", Grade 8), 6 serrated flange nuts (7/16-14 UNC, Grade 8), 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 recommends reading all instructions thoroughly before beginning and notes that using proper tools will greatly improve the quality of the install and reduce the time required.
Professional installation time is approximately 37 minutes. Novice (DIY) installation time is approximately 40 minutes. Actual time may vary depending on your experience level and familiarity with the vehicle.
The first step is to lower the exhaust by removing 3 rubber isolators as shown in the Rubber Isolator Removal Diagram. The manual notes that removing the rearmost exhaust brackets from the vehicle frame using a 15mm socket may ease lowering the exhaust.

Fishwire 3 CM-SP2 spacers and 3 7/16" carriage bolts through the access holes and out the mounting holes on each frame rail. This technique allows you to guide the fasteners through the frame without drilling. The fishwire is used to pull the bolts and spacers through the access holes to the mounting holes on both the driver and passenger side frame rails.
After fishwiring the spacers and bolts, use pliers to remove 2 heat shield vehicle studs on each side. Raise the hitch into position and secure it with 6 7/16" flange nuts (3 on each side). The manual notes to scrape away excess caulk using a utility knife for proper installation.
