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 Hyundai Santa Cruz (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 are the easiest way to outfit your vehicle with a CURT trailer wiring connection. They are built with some of the most advanced technology in the industry, and each one is custom-fitted to work with a specific make and model. Some automotive manufacturers install a special socket on the vehicle to be used for vehicle-to-trailer wiring. Although this special 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. Rather than requiring you to cut, splice and solder into your vehicle's wiring system, the custom wiring connector uses a single OEM-compatible plug and instantly provides a standard, universal vehicle-to-trailer wiring connection, typically in the form a 4-way flat. All CURT custom wiring connectors are made vehicle-specific for the easiest possible installation and the best fit. This particular plug-in connector provides a 4-way flat socket and is designed to be a custom wiring option for certain years of the Hyundai Palisade, Hyundai Santa Fe, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Telluride and Kia Carnival (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary hardware to establish a solid connection. It also comes with a dust cover to keep the connector socket clean when not in use. To ensure long-lasting reliability, all CURT custom wiring connectors are thoroughly tested for optimal functionality. Stress is the last thing you should feel when towing a trailer -- whether you're hauling your RV to that favorite camping destination, your ATVs up to the hunting grounds or your fishing boat to the new hidden hotspot. At CURT, we think your towing equipment should add to the enjoyment of your experience, not detract from it.

The CURT 13486 has a gross trailer weight (GTW) capacity of 5,000 lbs and a tongue weight (TW) capacity of 750 lbs. Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
The manual does not specify which vehicle makes, models, or years are compatible with part 13486. Contact CURT product support at 877.287.8634 or visit curtmfg.com to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle.
The installation procedure requires lowering the spare tire in Step 1. If your vehicle does not have a spare tire carrier, contact CURT product support at 877.287.8634 to determine if this hitch is compatible with your vehicle.
The installation requires lowering the exhaust by removing three rearmost rubber holders from the exhaust hangers. The hitch is designed for vehicles with frame-mounted exhaust systems with these specific hanger points. If your exhaust configuration differs, contact CURT product support at 877.287.8634 to confirm compatibility.
Required tools are: 12mm socket, 19mm socket, 3" socket extension, 1" or larger wrench, ratchet, torque wrench, universal joint, torque adapter (19mm), exhaust removal tool, and 3/8" socket. A 5/8" open end wrench and pry bar are also needed for rubber isolator removal if an exhaust removal tool is not available. For a complete tools reference guide, visit curtmfg.com/trailer-hitch-installation.
The hitch includes 6 hex bolts (M12-1.25 x 40mm) and 6 conical-toothed washers (1/2"). Three bolts and three washers are used on each side of the vehicle frame. The vehicle provides three existing M12 weld nuts on each frame rail.
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected. Contact CURT product support at 877.287.8634 for guidance on battery disconnection.
The installation is rated as "Easy" based on time and effort involved, though difficulty may vary depending on installer expertise, vehicle condition, and proper tools and equipment. The manual does not specify whether professional installation is required or recommended. Contact CURT product support at 877.287.8634 if you have concerns about your ability to complete the installation.
Before installation, you must lower the spare tire and lower the exhaust by removing the three rearmost rubber holders from the exhaust hangers. The installation also requires exhaust rod bending. Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning, and ensure you have all required tools available.
If an exhaust removal tool is not available, use a 5/8" open end wrench and a pry bar. Slide the wrench up to the rubber isolator, cradling the hanger rod. Place the flat edge of the pry bar between the wrench and the hanger stop or hanger rod, then rotate the pry bar toward the wrench to remove the isolator. Using a lubricant or soapy water on the hanger rod and isolator helps removal.
To remove debris from the weld nuts in the frame, spray lubricant or compressed air into the hole. For heavy debris, use a wire brush. Take care not to damage the threads.
The conical-toothed washers (1/2") must be installed with the conical teeth facing the hitch side plate. The hex bolt passes through the washer into the weld nut.
1. Lower the spare tire using a 3/8" socket and set aside. 2. Lower the exhaust by removing the three rearmost rubber holders from the exhaust hangers; support the exhaust with a stand. 3. Raise the hitch into position by sliding the passenger side over the exhaust first. 4. Align the three holes in the hitch with the three weld nuts on both frame rails. 5. Loosely install three hex bolts with conical-toothed washers on each side. 6. Torque all M12 fasteners to 60 ft-lbs. 7. Reinstall the spare tire and exhaust.
Loosely install the three hex bolts with conical-toothed washers on each side first to align the hitch with the weld nuts. Only after all bolts are in place and the hitch is properly aligned should you torque all M12 fasteners to 60 ft-lbs.
All M12 fasteners must be torqued to 60 ft-lbs. Use a torque wrench and torque adapter (19mm) for ease of installation. Proper torque is essential to prevent damage to the product or vehicle.
Use a 19mm socket with a torque adapter (19mm) to torque the M12 bolts to 60 ft-lbs. A 3" socket extension and universal joint may also be needed depending on access.
No drilling is required. The hitch uses three existing M12 weld nuts on each frame rail. However, the installation requires lowering the spare tire, lowering the exhaust, and exhaust rod bending.
The manual states that exhaust rod bending is required for installation but does not specify whether this is a permanent modification or temporary adjustment. Contact CURT product support at 877.287.8634 for clarification on the nature and permanence of this modification.
After installation, inspect the hitch and exhaust to ensure there is adequate clearance between them. If additional clearance is needed, remove the rearmost rubber isolator from the frame-rail exhaust hanger rod and bend it down approximately five degrees using a box end wrench, then reinstall the isolator. Periodic inspection of the trailer hitch should be performed to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight and structural components are secure.
Periodic inspection of the trailer hitch should be performed to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight and structural components are secure. The manual does not specify a particular inspection interval. Contact CURT product support at 877.287.8634 for recommended maintenance intervals.
Safety glasses should be worn at all times while installing this product. When lowering the exhaust, use a stand to support it and prevent any damage. Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity when using the hitch.
Vehicle compatibility is not specified in the manual. Contact CURT at 877.287.8634 or visit curtmfg.com to confirm fitment for your vehicle.

CURT part 56420 is designed for SUVs and vans classified as S-series vehicles. The manual does not list specific vehicle makes, models, or years. Contact CURT or consult a fitment database to confirm compatibility with your exact vehicle before purchasing.
CURT 56420 is a custom wiring harness for SUVs and vans that connects the vehicle's factory electrical system to a trailer connector. It includes a converter box, 4-flat connector, fuse holder, and cable ties. The harness allows you to power trailer lights and signals from your vehicle's existing lighting circuits.
You will need: a ratchet, a 14mm socket, a socket extension, a panel trim removal tool, and a cutting tool. These are the minimum tools required for installation.
Yes. Step 1 requires you 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 installation. Reconnect it in Step 5 after all other work is complete.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a maximum of 15 amps. The fuse is provided in the kit and must be installed into the fuse holder in the custom wiring harness during Step 3. Exceeding this rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating, and potential fire.
The manual does not provide a specific torque value for the 14mm bolts. It states only that the 14mm nuts on the shroud are push nuts and should be tightened so they do not cause noise. Contact CURT for the exact torque specification.
Signal circuits are rated at 5.0 amps per side. Tail and running circuits are rated at 7.5 amps total. Do not exceed the product rating or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
The wiring harness is installed behind the driver side rear bumper (location S5). The converter box is adhered to a flat spot near the factory harness area using provided double-sided tape. The 4-flat connector is routed along the back of the vehicle to the hitch.
In Step 3, remove the dust cover from the harness without damaging the locking tabs. Insert the custom wiring harness end into the OEM (factory) harness. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Then install the provided fuse into the fuse holder in the custom wiring harness.
In Step 2, locate the plastic shroud below the driver-side rear bumper cover. Remove three push fasteners and two 14mm bolts (which are attached to the shroud). These bolts are push nuts and should be tightened so they do not cause noise when reinstalled.
In Step 4, route the 4-flat connector along the back of the vehicle to the hitch. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties to prevent movement and damage.
The black converter box is part of the CURT 56420 harness assembly. In Step 4, locate a flat spot near the factory harness area and adhere the converter box using the provided double-sided tape. This box converts the vehicle's factory lighting signals to the 4-flat trailer connector format.
Do not lay tools across the positive terminal (typically labeled with red covers or a red '+' symbol). This can cause a ground short, resulting in sparks and/or electrical shocks. After disconnecting the negative terminal in Step 1, fasten this wire down and away from the battery during the entire installation.
After installation, test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer. This will verify that all signal and running circuits are functioning correctly before towing.
Periodic inspection of all wires and connections should be performed to ensure there is no visible damage or loose connections. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
The kit includes a custom wiring harness with connector, a converter box, a 4-flat connector with dust cover, a fuse (15-amp max), a fuse holder, double-sided tape, and cable ties. All components are needed for proper installation.
CURT 56420 is designed for SUVs and vans (S-series vehicles). Consult a fitment database or contact CURT to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle make, model, and year.
Yes. Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting installation and reconnect it after all work is complete.
No drilling is required. The converter box is adhered using provided double-sided tape, and the harness connects to the factory connector without drilling.
