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 Ford Edge, Lincoln MKX and Lincoln Nautilus (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 4,500 lbs. WD and 675 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 Ford Edge Titanium (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 hitch is a weight-carrying receiver hitch with a maximum trailer weight capacity of 4500 lbs and tongue weight capacity of 675 lbs when used as a weight-carrying hitch, or 4500 lbs trailer weight and 675 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight distribution hitch. Always verify your vehicle's manufacturer towing capacity before towing, as you must never exceed it.
The hitch weight is 45 lbs.
CURT 13452 has a maximum trailer weight capacity of 4500 lbs and tongue weight capacity of 675 lbs when used as a weight-carrying hitch. When used as a weight distribution hitch, the capacity is also 4500 lbs trailer weight and 675 lbs tongue weight. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower than the hitch capacity.
Required tools are: safety glasses, ratchet, 6-inch socket extension, 5mm socket, 10mm socket, 7/16-inch socket, T20 Torx bit socket, screwdriver, die grinder, and torque wrench. Safety glasses must be worn at all times during installation.
No, drilling is not required. The installation uses existing frame holes and does not require any new holes to be drilled.
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 90 minutes. Novice (DIY) installation time is approximately 37 minutes. Actual time may vary depending on experience and familiarity with the vehicle.
The kit includes: 8 carriage bolts (7/16-14 UNC, 1-3/4 inch, Grade 8, yellow zinc, part 10-10314); 6 serrated flange nuts (7/16-14 UNC, Grade 8, yellow zinc, part 20-00103); 2 hex nuts (7/16-14 UNC, Grade 8, yellow zinc, part 20-00147); 2 lock washers (7/16 inch, yellow zinc, part 30-00184); 8 square hole spacers (0.250 x 1.00 x 2.50 inch, part CM-SP11); and 8 pieces of 7/16-inch fishwire (part 7_16 FISHWIRE).
Installation follows this sequence: (1) Remove bottom side plastic panel by removing 2 bolts on fascia and 2 flange nuts under the car by the muffler on each side; (2) For models with heat shield, remove center plastic panel with heat shields by removing 6 bolts and 1 flange nut; (3) For Lincoln models, remove bumper fascia by removing 7 push fasteners in wheel well and 1 bolt on each side; (4) For Lincoln models, disconnect electrical connectors from fascia; (5) For Ford models, lower muffler by removing exhaust hanger rod from rubber isolator on both sides and support with stand; (6) Use die grinder to cut off stud above center of muffler; (7) Feed carriage bolts and spacers through 4 large frame holes using fishwire; (8) Feed fishwires through 4 holes in hitch; (9) Raise hitch into position by sliding over passenger side exhaust; (10) Pull fishwires for 2 side plate bolts to hold hitch in place; (11) Pull fishwires for 2 bottom plate bolts; (12) Remove fishwires and loosely install 3 flanged hex nuts and 1 lock washer and hex nut on each side; (13) Torque all 7/16-inch fasteners to 59 lb-ft; (14) Reinstall all panels, fascia, wheel wells, muffler, and reconnect electrical connectors.
The manual instructs to use a die grinder to cut off the stud above the center of the muffler in Step 6, but does not specify whether this is a permanent modification or temporary removal. Contact CURT Technical Support at 877-287-8634 for clarification on whether the stud can be reinstalled or if this is a permanent alteration.
All 7/16-inch fasteners must be torqued to 59 lb-ft. This is applied in Step 13 after all bolts and nuts are loosely installed. Lock washers and hex nuts should be placed on the bolt closest to the gusset on the hitch.
Fishwire is used to feed carriage bolts and spacers through the 4 large holes in the frame (Step 7) and then through the 4 holes in the hitch (Step 8). The fishwires are then pulled to guide the bolts into position for the side plate bolts (Step 10) and bottom plate bolts (Step 11) before being removed and replaced with nuts and washers (Step 12). Eight pieces of 7/16-inch fishwire are included in the kit.
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected. However, for Lincoln models, Step 4 requires disconnecting electrical connectors attached to the fascia and vehicle. Contact CURT Technical Support at 877-287-8634 if you have concerns about electrical safety during installation.
For Ford models, the exhaust hanger rod must be removed from the rubber isolator on both sides to lower the muffler. This is necessary to provide clearance for raising the hitch into position. The muffler must be supported with a stand to prevent damage. The muffler is then reinstalled in Step 14.
Bumper fascia removal is recommended for easier installation on Lincoln models. The removal process involves removing 7 push fasteners in the wheel well and 1 bolt on each side, then gently pulling the wheel well trim. The fascia is then disconnected from electrical connectors in the trunk. All components are reinstalled in Step 14.
The hitch is raised into position by sliding it over the passenger side exhaust first (Step 9). The fishwires for the 2 side plate bolts on each side are then pulled to hold the hitch in place (Step 10), followed by pulling the fishwires for the 2 bottom plate bolts on each side (Step 11).
On each side of the hitch, 3 flanged hex nuts (part 20-00103) and 1 lock washer (part 30-00184) and 1 hex nut (part 20-00147) are installed. The lock washer and hex nut should be placed on the bolt closest to the gusset on the hitch. All fasteners are torqued to 59 lb-ft.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify a retorque interval, but recommends regular inspection as part of vehicle maintenance.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times during installation. When lowering the muffler on Ford models, a stand must be used to support and prevent damage. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance. Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity when using the hitch.

The CURT 56437 is a powered converter harness designed for SUVs and vans. It converts the vehicle's factory taillight signals into a 4-flat trailer connector, allowing you to tow a trailer with proper lighting control. The system includes a converter box that processes brake, turn signal, and taillight signals from your vehicle's rear lights.
The CURT 56437 is designed for SUVs and vans with 12-volt negative ground electrical systems. The manual does not list specific vehicle models or years. Check your vehicle owner's manual to confirm it has a 12-volt negative ground system, or contact the vehicle manufacturer. The wiring locations shown in the manual are representative; actual locations may vary by vehicle.
No. The converter system is designed only for 12-volt negative ground systems. It will not function on 24-volt systems or vehicles with positive ground electrical systems.
Required tools are: ratchet, cutting tool, socket extension, wire crimper, Torx bit T-25, wire stripper, small flathead screwdriver, panel trim removal tool, and flathead screwdriver. You will also need a pry tool (not listed but referenced in Steps 3 and 4) and a fish wire or equivalent (cut-up wire hanger, stiff wire, rope or string) to route wires through blind holes.
The kit includes: a black converter box, a T-connector with yellow wire, a green wire for passenger-side routing, a black power wire, a white ground wire with ring terminal, a provided screw for grounding, double-sided tape for mounting the converter box, a 4-flat dust cover, zip ties for securing loose wires, and a 15-amp fuse holder with fuse. Butt connectors are referenced in the wiring diagram.
Yes. You must disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation. Fasten this wire down and away from the battery during the installation. Reconnect the negative battery terminal only after all other installation steps are complete and before testing the harness.
The installation is rated as moderate difficulty. The manual states that proper tools will improve the quality of installation and reduce the time required. All steps must be followed to ensure the product functions properly. No specific installation time is provided.
Step 1 is 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 the installation.
Using a pry tool and being careful not to dent or scratch the vehicle, loosen the taillight and pull rearward to remove. Behind the taillight, locate the vehicle taillight wiring harness connectors. Disconnect the housing by releasing the locking tabs. Set the taillight to the side. Repeat this process on both the driver and passenger sides.
Fish wire is used to push or pull the electrical harness through blind holes (holes you cannot see through). You insert the fish wire through the blind hole, locate it on the other side, use tape to secure the harness to the fish wire, and pull it back up. Fish wire can be a cut-up wire hanger, stiff wire, rope or string. If the wire gets hung up, you may need to push back down, wiggle it around, or twist it to loosen it.
Locate a flat clean surface that is out of the path of spray and debris from the rear wheels and road. Adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape. Mounting the box in a protected area is critical—failure to do so can cause loss of warranty, product failure, overheating and potential fire.
You need to locate a suitable grounding point near the converter box, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no existing screw is available, you may drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. 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.
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. This prevents the wire from being damaged and causing electrical faults or fire.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 15-amp maximum fuse. Do not exceed this rating. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
Signal circuits (turn signals): 5.0 amps per side. Tail/Running circuits: 7.5 amps total. Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
Use 12 GA (12-gauge) wire or larger for the power wire from the vehicle battery to the converter. The manual specifies routing 12 GA wire to the vehicle battery location.
The wire colors are: Green = Right turn signal, Red = Brake, Yellow = Left turn signal, Brown = Taillight. These colors correspond to the trailer lighting functions controlled by the converter.
On the driver side under the vehicle, find the fish wire and secure the T-connector end with the yellow wire to it. Pull the T-connector end up to the taillight pocket. Install the connector onto the factory wiring to keep it from falling down. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
Route the green wire to the passenger side, up and out of the way. Use the fish wire method (Step 5) to route the green wire to the passenger-side taillight pocket, similar to how the yellow wire is routed on the driver side.
Route the trailer 4-flat connector to the center of the vehicle and mount it near the hitch. Secure any loose wires with the provided zip ties.
Route the black power wire from the vehicle battery as shown on the last page of the manual (page 5). The black wire connects to the positive (+) battery terminal using a ring terminal. The wire must be 12 GA or larger and routed to avoid pinch points and hot or rotating components. Secure the power wire to the vehicle chassis using the provided cable ties.
Attach the ring terminal of the white ground wire to the vehicle body using the provided screw. Locate a suitable grounding point near the converter box, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If necessary, drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. The area should be free of rust, dirt and paint before securing the ground wire.
Before drilling or routing wires, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury. When routing the power wire, avoid pinch points and hot or rotating components. Use a pry tool carefully to avoid denting or scratching the vehicle. Disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation. When passing the power wire through sheet metal, use an existing grommet, add a grommet, or use silicone to protect the wire from sharp edges.
Once the 12-volt power wire is connected to the harness, verify that the harness is functioning by attaching the battery and testing with a test light, 4-flat tester, or a functioning trailer. Reinstall all items removed during installation and reconnect the negative battery terminal. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
After installation is complete: (1) Verify the harness is functioning using a test light, 4-flat tester, or functioning trailer. (2) Reinstall all items removed during installation. (3) Reconnect the negative battery terminal. (4) Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion. (5) Install the 15-amp fuse in the fuse holder after all other steps are complete.
Periodic inspection of all wires and connections should be performed to ensure there is no visible damage or loose connections. The manual does not specify an inspection interval. For more detailed maintenance information, contact CURT Group or check the product warranty information at warranty.curtgroup.com/surveys.
The CURT 56437 is designed for SUVs and vans with 12-volt negative ground electrical systems. Check your vehicle owner's manual to confirm your system type, or contact the vehicle manufacturer. Wiring locations are representative and may vary by vehicle.
Yes, disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting installation. Fasten the wire away from the battery. Reconnect it only after all installation steps are complete and before testing.
