CURT Trailer Hitches & Towing
CURT trailer hitches, custom wiring and ball mounts for cars, SUVs, minivans and pickups, with fitment published by year, make and model on every hitch and harness. CURT builds receiver hitches from Class 1 through Class 5, gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches, 4-flat custom wiring harnesses, ball mounts, hitch balls and cargo carriers from its base in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
The coverage here leans toward everyday vehicles: Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota, Kia, Nissan, Hyundai, Subaru and Honda listings outnumber the heavy-duty trucks. Absolute Autoguard ships CURT across Canada from Winnipeg, and most parts leave in 7 to 10 business days.
Custom-fit CURT receiver hitches and wiring for cars, SUVs and trucks
CURT Manufacturing is based in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and its catalogue is built around vehicle-specific fitment: a hitch and a harness designed for one platform and model-year range. The largest single family here is the 4-flat custom wiring harness, listed for everything from the 2015-2020 Toyota Sienna and 2012-2021 Subaru Impreza to the 2014-2018 Kia Sorento and 2013-2020 Lincoln MKZ. Alongside the wiring sit the receiver hitches, ball mounts, hitch balls and gooseneck and fifth wheel hardware.
CURT rates its receivers by the standard hitch classes. Class 1 and 2 use a 1-1/4 inch opening and cover cars and small crossovers. Class 3 moves to a 2 inch opening for mid-size SUVs, minivans and half-ton pickups. Class 4 and 5 stay at 2 inches (some Class 5 receivers are 2-1/2 inch) for three-quarter and one-ton trucks.
Shop CURT by type
Custom receiver hitches, Class 1 to Class 5
Bolt-on receivers matched to a specific vehicle, finished in CURT's black powder coat over an e-coat base. Vehicle tags run from the Hyundai Accent and Subaru Impreza through the Toyota Highlander and Chevrolet Traverse to the F-150 and Ram 1500.
4-flat custom wiring harnesses
These plug into the factory taillight connectors and end in a 4-flat trailer plug, with no splicing. Many listings include a converter so the trailer lights draw from the battery rather than the vehicle's lighting circuit, which matters on cars with LED taillights. Fitment is exact to the year range: a 2011-2016 Kia Sportage harness is a different part number from a later one.
Ball mounts, hitch balls and pins
Fixed and adjustable ball mounts for 1-1/4 and 2 inch receivers, in the drop or rise that keeps the trailer level. Hitch balls come in 1-7/8, 2 and 2-5/16 inch diameters; match the ball to the coupler size stamped on your trailer tongue.
Gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches
Truck-bed hitches for horse, flatbed and RV trailers, with the underbed kits that mount to the frame. See B&W and Draw-Tite for the other gooseneck heads we stock.

Why CURT
- Coverage for cars, not only trucks. Subaru, Kia, Hyundai and Lincoln listings sit next to the F-150 and Ram 1500.
- Wiring that matches the hitch. CURT lists the hitch and the 4-flat harness for the same year range, so one order covers the whole tow package.
- Standard receiver sizes. Every CURT receiver takes the same 1-1/4 or 2 inch accessories as any other brand's.
- Published fitment. Each product page lists the year, make and model the part was built for.
Choosing the right CURT hitch
Start with the trailer. Find its loaded weight and tongue weight, pick the lowest class that covers both, and never exceed the tow rating in your owner manual. Confirm the receiver size, then add the matching 4-flat harness if the vehicle has no trailer wiring. A trailer with electric brakes also needs a 7-way connector and a brake controller from Tekonsha. Finally, match the ball mount drop to the height difference between receiver and coupler so the trailer sits level. If you are not sure what fits, contact us with your year, make, model and configuration.
Common questions
What class of CURT hitch do I need?
Class 1 and 2 for light utility and bike-rack duty on cars and small crossovers, Class 3 for most SUV, minivan and half-ton towing, Class 4 and 5 for heavy trailers behind full-size and heavy-duty pickups.
Does a CURT hitch come with wiring?
No. Hitch and wiring are separate part numbers. The CURT 4-flat harness for your vehicle is in this collection; Tekonsha and Hopkins equivalents are in Custom Towing Wiring.
What is the difference between 4-flat and 7-way wiring?
A 4-flat carries running lights, brake lights and turn signals, which is all a small utility or boat trailer needs. A 7-way adds 12 volt power, reverse lights and an electric brake circuit. Most CURT car and SUV harnesses are 4-flat.
Can I put a CURT hitch on a car like a Subaru Impreza or Hyundai Elantra?
Yes. CURT catalogues Class 1 and Class 2 receivers with a 1-1/4 inch opening for compact cars, sized for a bike rack or a light trailer within the car's tow rating. Check the model years, since a body change usually means a new hitch.
