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 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 Hyundai Palisade, Hyundai Santa Cruz and Kia Telluride (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. 7-prong 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.

Call 888-634-9494The 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.

Part 56466 is designed for SUVs and Vans (S). The manual does not list specific vehicle makes, models, or model years. Contact Curt Manufacturing or consult a fitment database to confirm compatibility with your vehicle.
Part 56466 is a wiring harness for SUVs and vans that converts vehicle lighting signals to trailer lighting signals. It includes a custom wiring harness, a black converter box, a 7-way connector, and a fuse holder with fuse.
You will need a ratchet, 14mm socket, socket extension, panel trim removal tool, and cutting tool.
The kit includes a custom wiring harness with dust cover, a black converter box with double-sided tape for mounting, a 7-way connector, a fuse holder, and a fuse. The manual does not specify the fuse amperage or list all fasteners included.
Yes. You must disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation and reconnect it after all other steps are complete.
The installation is rated as Easy. Installation difficulty is based on time and effort involved and may vary depending on installer expertise, vehicle condition, and availability of proper tools and equipment.
The custom wiring harness is connected to the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) harness. For this product, the wiring location is S5, which is behind the driver side rear bumper. The manual shows ten possible wiring locations (S1–S10) for different vehicle types, but only S5 applies to part 56466.
1. Remove the dust cover from the custom harness, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. 2. Insert the custom wiring harness end onto the OEM harness. 3. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with the locking tabs in place. 4. Install the custom wiring harness.
Locate the plastic shroud below the driver-side rear bumper cover. Remove the three push fasteners and the two 14mm bolts (which are part of the shroud). These bolts are push nuts and should be tightened after reinstallation so they do not cause noise.
Mount the black converter box on a flat, clean surface that is out of the path of spray and debris from the rear wheels and road. Use the provided double-sided tape to adhere it. Failure to mount the box in a protected area can cause loss of warranty, product failure, overheating, and potential fire.
Install the 7-way connector in the center of the rear of the vehicle next to the hitch.
Signal circuits: 5.0 amps per side. Tail/Running circuits: 7.5 amps total.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 15-amp maximum fuse. The fuse is installed in the fuse holder on the custom wiring harness.
Install the fuse from the bag kit into the fuse holder on the custom wiring harness. The manual does not specify the fuse amperage or type.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 15-amp maximum. Exceeding this rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating, and potential fire.
Once the custom wiring harness is installed, verify that the harness is functioning by attaching the 7-way connector to any vehicle with functioning trailer lights. The taillights on the tow vehicle should function along with the taillights on the towing vehicle.
Periodic inspection of all wires and connections should be performed to ensure there is no visible damage or loose connections.
