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 Maverick (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 4,000 lbs. GTW and 600 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 4,000 lbs. WD and 600 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 Maverick (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 Curt 56477 is a powered converter lead designed to convert your truck's taillight signals into trailer lighting signals. It connects to your vehicle's taillights and battery, allowing you to control trailer lights (turn signals, brake lights, and running lights) from your truck's lighting system. The converter outputs a standard 4-flat connector for trailer connection.
The converter system is designed for 12-volt negative ground electrical systems only. Check your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer to confirm your truck uses this system before purchasing.
You will need: a ratchet, 8mm socket, socket extension, wire crimper, wire stripper, electrical tape, and a cutting tool. You may also need a fish wire (or substitute such as a cut-up wire hanger, stiff wire, rope or string) to route wiring through the taillight cavity, and an abrasive pad or paper to clean rust and paint from the grounding point.
The kit includes: a custom wiring harness with yellow, green, black, white, red, and brown wires; a black converter box; a 4-flat connector with dust cover; cable ties; double-sided tape for mounting the converter; a ground screw; and a 10-amp fuse holder. A 10-amp fuse must be installed after all other installation steps are complete.
Yes. You must disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation and keep it disconnected while wiring the power wire. Fasten the disconnected wire down and away from the battery during the installation process. Reconnect it only after all other steps are complete and the fuse has been installed.
Yes. You must remove both the driver and passenger side taillights to access the taillight connectors. Using an 8mm socket, remove the two screws holding each taillight in place, then carefully pull the taillight out at a 45-degree angle from the side and rear of the truck. Separate the connectors from the taillight housing, taking care not to damage the locking tabs.
Use a fish wire (or substitute such as a cut-up wire hanger, stiff wire, rope or string). Starting on the driver side, drop the fish wire down inside the box where the taillight was removed. From under the vehicle, attach the custom wiring end with the yellow wire to the fish wire and pull it up into the taillight cavity. If the fish wire gets hung up, you may need to push back down, wiggle it around, or twist the wire to loosen it. Make sure the fish wire is long enough to stick out on the other side.
After pulling the custom wiring end with the yellow wire up into the taillight cavity, insert it between the separated taillight connectors. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat this process on the opposite side with the green wire routed to the passenger side.
Adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape. The manual does not specify an exact location, but it should be mounted in a protected area away from moisture and heat. Ensure it is accessible for maintenance and fuse replacement.
Route the 4-flat connector along the rear bumper and secure it with zip ties as needed. Mount the 4-flat close to the receiver tube to minimize the distance between the converter and the trailer connection point.
Not necessarily. On the driver side, locate an existing grounding point such as a screw or bolt in the vehicle frame. If no suitable existing fastener is available, you may drill a 3/32" pilot hole. The area must be free from rust, dirt, and paint—use an abrasive pad or paper to clean it before securing the white ground wire with the ring terminal. Always check for miscellaneous items hidden behind or under any surface before drilling to avoid damage and personal injury.
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 the wire insulation from being cut or damaged. Route the 12-gauge wire to the vehicle battery location, taking care to avoid any pinch points and hot or rotating components.
Signal circuits (turn signals) are rated at 5.0 amps per side. Tail and running light 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. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating, and potential fire.
You need an 8mm socket with a ratchet and socket extension to remove the two screws holding each taillight in place.
If you need to drill a ground point, the pilot hole size is 3/32". This hole is used to secure the white ground wire with the ring terminal using the provided ground screw.
Use 12-gauge wire or larger for the power lead from the converter to the vehicle battery. The manual specifies 12 GA wire or larger on the wiring diagram.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse. Install the fuse holder with a 10-amp fuse after all other installation steps are complete. Do not exceed 10 amps, as exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating, and potential fire.
The wiring harness uses the following color codes: Green = Right turn signal, Red = Brake light, Yellow = Left turn signal, Brown = Taillight (running light). The white wire is the ground wire, and the black wire connects to the positive battery terminal.
Route the black power wire to the positive battery terminal (+), typically noted with red covers or a red '+' symbol. Use a ring terminal for the battery connection. Do not lay tools across the positive battery terminal, as this can cause a ground short, resulting in sparks and/or electrical shocks.
For trucks, the wiring locations are: T1 = Behind driver side taillight housing, T2 = Behind passenger side taillight housing, T3 = Behind driver side rear bumper, T4 = Behind center of rear bumper fascia, T5 = Behind passenger side rear bumper. The custom wiring harness connects at T1 and T2 (the taillight housings).
Disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation and keep it disconnected while wiring the power wire. Fasten the disconnected wire down and away from the battery. 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, resulting in sparks and/or electrical shocks. Reconnect the negative terminal only after all other steps are complete and the fuse has been installed.
Before drilling any holes, check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury. This is especially important when drilling the ground point on the vehicle frame or when passing the power wire through sheet metal.
Once the custom wiring harness is installed, verify that it is functioning by attaching the 4-flat connector to any vehicle with functioning trailer lights. The taillights on the tow vehicle should function along with the taillights on the towing vehicle. This confirms that all signal circuits (turn signals, brake lights, and running lights) are working correctly.
Reinstall all items removed during installation, including the taillights. If the negative battery terminal was disconnected at the beginning, reconnect it. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion. Test the system by connecting the 4-flat to a vehicle with functioning trailer lights to verify all signals work correctly.
Perform periodic inspection of all wires and connections to ensure there is no visible damage or loose connections. Check the 4-flat dust cover to ensure it remains in place to help prevent corrosion. No other routine maintenance is specified in the manual.
The Curt 56477 is designed for trucks with 12-volt negative ground electrical systems. Check your vehicle owner's manual or contact the manufacturer to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
Yes. Disconnect the negative battery terminal before installation and keep it disconnected while wiring the power wire. Reconnect it only after all other steps are complete and the fuse is installed.
Drilling is not always required. You can use an existing screw or bolt on the vehicle frame as a grounding point. If no suitable fastener exists, drill a 3/32" pilot hole. Always check for hidden items before drilling.
The battery connection must use a 10-amp maximum fuse. Install the fuse after all other steps are complete. Do not exceed 10 amps.
Use 12-gauge wire or larger for the power lead from the converter to the vehicle battery.
If the fish wire gets hung up on something inside the cavity, you may need to push it back down, wiggle it around, or twist the wire to loosen it from what it is caught on. Ensure the fish wire is long enough to stick out on the other side before pulling. If it continues to get stuck, try using a different type of fish wire (such as a stiffer wire hanger or rope) or carefully inspect the cavity for obstructions.
Make sure the custom wiring end is fully inserted between the separated connectors and that the locking tabs are in place. The locking tabs secure the connector and ensure proper electrical contact. If the connectors still do not seat fully, check that you are not pinching any wires and that the connector is aligned correctly before pushing it in completely.
First, verify that the harness is functioning by connecting the 4-flat to any vehicle with functioning trailer lights. The tow vehicle's taillights should function along with the towing vehicle's lights. If they do not, check: 1) that the negative battery terminal is reconnected, 2) that the 10-amp fuse is installed in the fuse holder, 3) that the black power wire is connected to the positive battery terminal with a ring terminal, 4) that the white ground wire is securely fastened to the vehicle frame, 5) that all taillight connectors are fully seated with locking tabs in place, and 6) that there are no visible damaged or loose wires.
