The Curt 13198 is a receiver hitch designed for the Toyota Tundra. It is a weight-carrying hitch that can be used as either a weight-carrying hitch or a weight distribution hitch, depending on your towing needs.
Yes, the Curt 13198 is designed specifically for the Toyota Tundra.
The manual specifies the Curt 13198 is designed for the Toyota Tundra. Fitment on other Toyota models is not addressed in this manual. Contact Curt Manufacturing or consult a fitment database to confirm compatibility with other vehicles.
No, drilling is not required. The hitch uses existing weld nuts on the frame rails.
You must remove existing angle brackets from the inside surface of the frame rails and bumper brackets. Return these brackets and their fasteners to the vehicle owner.
The kit includes: 2 square hole spacers (CM-SP12), 4 S-CON washers (1/2"), 2 serrated flange nuts (1/2"-13 UNC), 4 M12×1.25 hex cap screws, 4 M14×2 hex cap screws, 4 lock washers (5/8"), 2 hex cap screws (1/2"-13 UNC, 1-3/4"), and 4 flat washers (5/8"), plus 4 M14×2 hex nuts.
According to Curt Manufacturing, DIY installation takes approximately 65 minutes. Professional installation time is not specified in the manual.
Follow these steps in order: (1) Remove existing angle brackets from the inside surface of frame rails and bumper brackets, and return them to the vehicle owner. (2) Raise the hitch into position and install the 12mm bolts with conical tooth washers. (3) Install the 14mm fasteners, then the 1/2" fasteners as shown in the diagram. (4) Torque all fasteners to specification.
Torque all 1/2" fasteners to 110 lb-ft, all 12mm fasteners to 86 lb-ft, and all 14mm fasteners to 126 lb-ft.
All 1/2" fasteners must be torqued to 110 lb-ft.
All 12mm fasteners must be torqued to 86 lb-ft.
All 14mm fasteners must be torqued to 126 lb-ft.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The Curt 13198 is rated for specific trailer weight and tongue weight limits (which are not fully specified in this manual), but your vehicle's manufacturer limits take precedence. Consult your Toyota Tundra owner's manual and the Curt 13198 specification sheet to determine the correct limits for your specific truck.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify a maintenance interval, so consult Curt Manufacturing or your vehicle's service manual for recommended inspection frequency.

Yes. The installation diagram shows existing weld nuts on both the driver side and passenger side frame rails. These are used to secure the hitch fasteners; no drilling is required.
The installation requires removal of existing angle brackets from the bumper brackets. The hitch is designed to work with the Tundra's bumper assembly, but consult the installation diagram or contact Curt Manufacturing if you have concerns about clearance or fitment with aftermarket bumpers or accessories.
The kit includes: one 30 amp auto-resetting circuit breaker, two #10 ring terminals, two 3/8" ring terminals, two 1/2" ring terminals, three 12-10 gauge butt connectors, 10 feet of 10 ga black/white duplex wire, 20 feet of 10 ga blue cross-linked wire, and eight 8.5" cable ties.
Yes, but with a critical difference: these vehicles require the stop signal wire to be spliced to the light green wire on the turn signal harness connector under the dash, not to the brake pedal switch. Do NOT connect to the red wire with green stripe, as serious damage may occur. All other vehicles connect to the brake pedal switch instead.
You will need: a test light, wire stripper/cutter, crimp tool, and 3/8" box end wrench. The test light is used to identify the cold (switched) side of the brake pedal switch.
Yes. The manual cautions to disconnect the tow vehicle's negative battery cable before installation. Reconnect it only in the final step after all wiring is complete.
Mount the 30 amp circuit breaker near the tow vehicle's positive battery terminal. This keeps the power wire run as short as possible and protects the circuit.
Use 10 gauge (10 ga) black wire from the duplex wire included in the kit. Strip 3/8" of insulation from each end. Crimp a #10 ring terminal to the end that attaches to the circuit breaker stud labeled 'BAT', and a 3/8" or 1/2" ring terminal (sized to fit your battery terminal) to the end that attaches to the positive battery terminal.
Feed the 10 ga duplex wire from the brake controller in the cockpit through the firewall into the engine compartment toward the battery. Cut to length as needed. At the battery end, crimp a 3/8" or 1/2" ring terminal to the white wire and a #10 ring terminal to the black wire. Attach the black wire to the circuit breaker stud labeled 'AUX' and tighten the nut with a 3/8" box end wrench.
When passing the duplex wire through the firewall into the engine compartment, use an existing grommet, add a new grommet, or fill the hole with silicone rubber to insulate and protect the wire. The same protection applies when passing the blue cross-linked wire through any sheet metal at the rear of the vehicle.
In the cockpit, attach the black duplex wire to the brake controller's battery wire (typically black) and the white duplex wire to the brake controller's ground wire (typically white). Use either one of the supplied yellow butt connectors or solder the leads together and insulate with heat shrink tubing.
Locate the brake pedal switch on the back side of the vehicle's brake pedal. Use a test light or volt meter to identify the 'cold' or switched side—this terminal will only show power when the brake pedal is depressed. Attach the stop signal wire (typically red) from the brake controller to the cold side of the switch using a wire tap.
Locate the semi-circle turn signal harness connector on the steering column under the dash. It has two rows of wires: a row of four and a row of seven. Attach the stop signal wire (typically red) from the brake controller to the light green wire using a wire tap. Do NOT connect to the red wire with green stripe, as serious damage may occur.
Feed the 10 ga blue cross-linked wire from the brake controller to the trailer connector at the rear of the vehicle, taking up any slack in the wire. When passing through any sheet metal, use an existing grommet, add a new grommet, or fill the hole with silicone rubber to protect the wire.
Attach the blue cross-linked wire to the brake controller's electric brake wire (typically blue) using one of the supplied yellow butt connectors or by soldering and insulating with heat shrink tubing. At the rear of the vehicle, trim any loose blue wire and attach it to the trailer connector's electric brake terminal. Refer to the trailer connector's wiring diagram for the correct terminal location.
Secure any loose wires with the cable ties provided. Connect the black power wire from the circuit breaker to the positive side of the battery. Connect the white ground wire from the brake controller to the negative side of the battery. Finally, reconnect the tow vehicle's negative battery cable to the battery.
The circuit breaker is 30 amps and auto-resetting. It must be mounted near the positive battery terminal and connected directly to the positive battery terminal via the included black 10 gauge wire.
Use a 3/8" box end wrench to tighten the nuts on the circuit breaker studs labeled 'BAT' and 'AUX'.
The kit includes 10 feet of 10 gauge black/white duplex wire for the battery and brake controller connections, and 20 feet of 10 gauge blue cross-linked wire for the electric brake signal to the trailer connector.
Black wire connects to the positive battery and circuit breaker. White wire connects to the brake controller ground and negative battery. Red wire is the stop signal wire from the brake controller. Blue wire is the electric brake signal wire. The manual notes these are 'typically' these colours but recommends confirming with your brake controller documentation.
Yes. You can solder the leads together and insulate with heat shrink tubing as an alternative to using the supplied yellow butt connectors. This applies to connections between the duplex wire and the brake controller wires, and between the blue cross-linked wire and the brake controller.
The black power wire must connect directly to the positive battery terminal via the 30 amp circuit breaker. Connecting to the fuse panel or any other accessory wiring may damage vehicle wiring and cause trailer brake failure. The circuit breaker protects the circuit and must be the only protection between the battery and the brake control system.
Do NOT connect the stop signal wire to the red wire with green stripe on the turn signal harness. Serious damage may occur. Connect only to the light green wire. Also, do not connect to the brake pedal switch on these vehicles; use the turn signal harness instead.
The kit is universal but requires an existing trailer connector and brake controller. 1989-1991 Ford E & F-Series with ABS use a different stop signal connection (turn signal harness instead of brake pedal switch). Consult your brake controller documentation for compatibility.
No drilling is required. The kit connects to existing components: the battery, brake controller, brake pedal switch (or turn signal harness on 1989-1991 Ford E & F-Series with ABS), and trailer connector.
Do NOT connect the stop signal wire to the red wire with green stripe on the turn signal harness—serious damage may occur. Connect to the light green wire instead, and do not use the brake pedal switch.
Connecting to the fuse panel or accessory wiring may damage vehicle wiring and cause trailer brake failure. The 30 amp circuit breaker must be the only protection between the battery and the brake control system.
The CURT 56438 is designed for trucks with T5 wiring location, which is behind the passenger side rear bumper. To confirm fitment, check your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer. The manual does not list specific vehicle makes, models or years, so you should verify compatibility with CURT or your installer before purchase.
The CURT 56438 is a custom wiring harness with a converter box that connects your truck's taillight wiring to a 4-flat trailer connector. It allows you to tow a trailer with proper lighting control. The system includes signal circuits rated at 3.0 amps per side and tail/running circuits rated at 6.0 amps total.
You will need: ratchet, cutting tool, 10mm socket, flathead screwdriver, and socket extension. These are the minimum tools required for installation.
The package includes a custom wiring harness with fuse holder, a black converter box, a 4-flat dust cover, double-sided tape for mounting the converter box, and cable ties for securing wires. The manual does not specify whether the 4-flat connector itself is included or must be purchased separately.
Yes. You must disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation. Keep the negative cable fastened down and away from the battery during the installation process. Reconnect it only after all other steps are complete and the fuse is installed.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse. Do not exceed this rating. The fuse holder is included with the harness, but the fuse itself is not installed until after the harness installation is complete.
Mount the black converter box in a flat, protected location inside the vehicle near the taillight using the provided double-sided tape. The manual emphasizes that failure to mount the box in a protected area can cause loss of warranty, product failure, overheating and potential fire. Choose a location that is sheltered from moisture, heat sources and physical damage.
1. Locate the gray plastic connector between the battery and driver-side fender and remove the protective cover. 2. Insert the custom wiring harness (with fuse holder) onto the vehicle harness, ensuring connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. 3. Attach the ring terminal end to the positive battery terminal. Do not install the fuse until the harness installation is complete.
1. Locate the vehicle taillight wiring harness connectors behind the rear bumper along the passenger side frame rail. 2. Remove the protective cover, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. 3. Insert the custom wiring harness connector into the vehicle connector, ensuring it is fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
Route the 4-flat connector to the center of the vehicle close to the receiver hitch and secure it with the provided cable ties. This routing protects the connector and keeps it accessible for trailer hookup.
Secure any loose wires using the provided cable ties. This prevents wires from moving, chafing, or becoming damaged during vehicle operation.
Do not exceed the product rating or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower. The manual does not specify the product's maximum rating in amps or weight. Check your vehicle owner's manual or contact CURT for the specific product rating and your vehicle's lamp load capacity.
Signal circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side. Tail and running circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed these ratings, as exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
After installation is complete, test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer. This confirms that all connections are secure and the wiring harness is functioning correctly before towing.
Yes. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover after installation is complete. This helps prevent corrosion of the connector when it is not in use.
Perform periodic inspection of all wires and connections to ensure there is no visible damage or loose connections. The manual does not specify an exact interval, but regular checks before towing are recommended to maintain warranty coverage and safe operation.
Ratchet, cutting tool, 10mm socket, flathead screwdriver, and socket extension.
Yes, disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting. Keep it fastened away from the battery and reconnect only after all steps are complete and the fuse is installed.

Signal circuits: 3.0 amps per side. Tail/running circuits: 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed these ratings.
The 4-way flat electrical adapter converts a vehicle's 4-way flat trailer connector to other trailer connector types (6-way round, 7-way RV blade, or dual 4-way flat). This allows you to tow trailers with different connector styles. Single-output models (57184, 57183, 57185, 57626, 57676) convert to one connector type; dual-output models (57604, 57624, 57672, 57674, 57102) provide two different connector outputs simultaneously.
Yes. Your vehicle must be equipped with a 4-way flat trailer connector. If your vehicle does not have one, you will need to install a custom wiring harness or other 4-way flat trailer connector before installing this adapter.
Both convert a 4-way flat connector to a 7-way RV blade. The difference is that 57185 includes a mounting bracket, while 57184 does not.
Both convert a 4-way flat connector to a 6-way round. The difference is that 57626 includes a mounting bracket, while 57183 does not.
Curt offers three dual-output models that provide both a 4-way flat and a 7-way RV blade output: part numbers 57672, 57674, and 57102. All three include a mounting bracket.
Curt offers two dual-output models that provide both a 4-way flat and a 6-way round output: part numbers 57604 and 57624. Both include a mounting bracket.
You will need: a 1/8" drill bit, drill, Phillips screwdriver, wire stripper, cutting tool, terminal crimpers, and a test light. The manual also lists three self-tapping screws (#10 - 1/2") as required, though these are not included with the product.
No. The three self-tapping screws (#10 - 1/2") used to attach the mounting bracket are not included and must be purchased separately.
Mount the combination harness in a location on the tow vehicle that is within reach of the trailer's wiring harness and near the center of the vehicle. The mounting bracket (if included) should be attached to the vehicle's bumper or other suitable surface.
Yes. You must drill two 1/8" holes: one for the grounding point and one (or more) for the mounting bracket. Before drilling, you must check for brake lines, fuel lines, wiring and other components that may be hidden behind or under the surface to avoid damage.
No. You must never attach the mounting bracket directly to the hitch by cutting, welding or drilling into the hitch. Mount it to the vehicle's bumper or other suitable surface instead.
The adapter uses four wires: Yellow (auxiliary or back-up lights), Blue (electric brakes), Black (positive power with appropriate inline fuse), and White (ground). All wires except black and white must be connected using 12 gauge (minimum) wire and butt connectors to the appropriate vehicle functions.
The white wire is the ground connection. It must be attached with a ring terminal to a 1/8" hole drilled in a suitable grounding point on the vehicle using a #10 - 1/2" self-tapping screw. This ground connection is required for the harness to work properly. The white wire on the vehicle's 4-way flat connector does not support the ground (-) functions of the combination harness.
Yes. The black wire (positive power) must be connected with an appropriate inline fuse. The manual does not specify the fuse amperage rating.
Use 12 gauge (minimum) wire for all connections. The manual specifies this minimum gauge for the remaining wires (yellow, blue, and black) when connecting to appropriate vehicle functions.
Failing to properly ground the product can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. The white wire must be securely attached to a clean grounding point using a #10 - 1/2" self-tapping screw in a 1/8" hole. The area must be clean of dirt, debris or undercoating.
Before drilling, you must check for brake lines, fuel lines, wiring and any other components that may be hidden behind or under the surface. Drilling into these components can cause damage and personal injury.
Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding either rating can cause damage or unsafe operation.
Confirm proper function with a test light or by using a properly functioning trailer. This verifies that all connections are working correctly before towing.
Secure any loose wires using cable ties or equivalent product to prevent them from moving, catching on components, or becoming damaged.
Your vehicle must have a 4-way flat trailer connector. If it does not, you will need to install a custom wiring harness or other 4-way flat connector first. Check the part number table to confirm the adapter converts to the connector type you need.
You must purchase three #10 - 1/2" self-tapping screws for the mounting bracket. You will also need an appropriate inline fuse for the black (positive power) wire; the manual does not specify the amperage.
Yes, you must drill two 1/8" holes: one for grounding and one for the mounting bracket. Before drilling, check for brake lines, fuel lines and wiring behind the surface. Never drill into the hitch.
Yellow = auxiliary/back-up lights; Blue = electric brakes; Black = positive power (needs inline fuse); White = ground (must be properly grounded or warranty is void and fire risk exists). Use 12 gauge minimum wire and butt connectors.
Proper grounding of the white wire is critical. Failing to ground it properly can cause loss of warranty, overheating and fire. The grounding point must be clean of dirt, debris and undercoating.
Test with a test light or by using a properly functioning trailer to confirm all connections work. Secure loose wires with cable ties.
