2013 Chevrolet Equinox - Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector

  • Trailer Hitch Wiring
  • 4 Flat
  • No Converter
  • CURT

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your Chevrolet Equinox with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring - no cutting, splicing or tapping required.


Features:

  • Provides a 4-way flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer's signal lights
    • Compatible with 5-pole, 6-pole and 7-pole adapters (sold separately)
  • Connects quickly and easily - no cutting or splicing of wires
    • Locate connection points behind tail lights
    • Plug in T-connector
  • Comes with dust cap for 4-way flat connector
  • Limited 1-year warranty


Installation

This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side tail lights. You will have to remove the tail light assemblies to access this harness.


Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket (sold separately) is recommended to keep the connector secure.


It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.

Average Customer Rating:  4.9 out of 5 stars   (962 Customer Reviews)

Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring - no cutting, splicing or tapping required.

by:

Easy to install, perfect fit, works well. I recommend also purchasing the plug mounting bracket.



by:

Very, very easy install on both the hitch and trailer wiring harness.



by:

Item was as advertised. I like the fact that the 4 prong connector was exact match so that it fit on the sheet metal bracket. However the Left connector that plugs into the factor wiring harness had to be "filed" down somewhat so that the connector would "Click" or lock into the mating connector. A real pain the the butt as I had fished the wiring up from below and only had about 6" of wire to work with. No other connection experienced this issue.



by:

Hitch was easy to install but the wire for the bolt and nut keeper needs to be a little longer. Also difficult to torque the center 1/2" nuts as they are offset and because the chain plates are in the way from getting directly 90 degree access. Ended up rounding one of the nut-heads and could not reach full 110# of torque.



by:

I've seen many aftermarket hitches that are obviously not built for a specific car, and they look terrible when installed. The hitch I purchased from Etrailer.com was a perfect fit for my car. It was built by Curt Mfg., and was surprisingly easy to install. I had the wiring harness installed in about 45 minutes, and it just plugs into existing wiring (no splicing). And the hitch bolted onto the car with no cutting, drilling or hammering. It was done in about an hour. The finished installation looks like it came with the new car ! The process was much less expensive than having the dealer install it.
Excellent product !!

Still impressed with the installation and the good fit. I have hauled various stuff in my 6 by 6 trailer, up to about 2500 lbs. Works fine. Doesnt feel loose. Doesnt squeak. Had several compliments on the look and subsequent referrals.



by:
2017 GMC Terrain

Product arrived in a timely manner with one of the hangers fully exposed out side the box. The heavy construction of the Hitch receiver proved to be too much for the delivery process and the unit was in perfect condition. I viewed the video and started the job of installation. Took me about 1 and a half hours to complete the job.
The design of the unit was such that no drilling was required and the included fish wire was a wonder tool bringing bolts and square hole locks to the proper hole down a hollow frame. The wiring kit was super easy to install with step by step instructions and with NO cutting wires. Sorry it took so long to install. At 82 years old I have slowed a bit. Now I can pull my Jon boat to the lake. Happy Camper.

Great! It was received in a short time, easy to install with great instructions and works well.



by:

Very simple plug and play wiring. Very happy with it



by:

I like the fact that you just plug in to the factory harness



by:

Well.... the first one I ordered was wrong. My fault.
etrailer was very accommodating in getting me the right harness.
Thanks!

The wiring harness was very easy to install, took about 30 minutes to install.

This wiring harness fit my vehicle perfectly and, thanks to the helpful step by step video provided by etrailer.com, was very easy to install.

The wiring harness for my rebuilt trailer was easy to install and is working very well. I would recommend this product.



by:
2012 ChevroletEquinox

This wiring harness is very easy to install. I had a bit of trouble getting the tail lights out of our 2012 equinox but with a a second set of hand they slipped out without doing any damage. I used extra zip ties and wire loom to help protect the wire. Be sure to keep it away from the exhaust if you have a V6 with duel exhaust tips. I modified a Curt rubber tube cover to secure the harness to the receiver. I made sure to leave extra wire in behind the hitch so that I can pull it through when I need it.



by:
2010 GMC Terrain

Excellent product, very easy to do. I am not a fan of cutting into existing wiring, so this kit was the answer. It took less than a hour.

The Curt 2 inch hitch for my 2010 GMC Terrain was also an easy installation. All hardware was supplied and extra for situations that maybe encountered, i.e.., bolt holes not threaded from factory. The 2010 Terrain was all bolt on. What I especially like is the fact that it is totally hidden except for the receiver.



by:
2015 GMC Terrain

The hitch and wiring harness arrived on time. One of the vertical brackets on the hitch had broken through the box due to UPS manhandling, but nothing was damaged. After re-tapping the welded bolts on my 2012 Terrain the hitch was on in 15 minutes. Fit perfectly and looks like it came with the vehicle. The wiring harness was hands down the easiest product that I have ever installed on any vehicle. I like how nothing needed to be cut or spliced. Took me all of 10 minutes to install. And it works perfectly! I am very happy wit the product and service I received from etrailer.



by:
2012 GMC Terrain

I ordered this hitch & wiring kit for my 2012 GMC Terrain SLE 3.0 6 cylinder and it went on in less than 30 minutes! I ordered the hitch and wiring harness on Monday (Labor Day even) and the package arrived on Wednesday afternoon - WOW! Thank you eTrailer.



by:

Great product very easy install



by:
2016 GMC Terrain

I installed a Curt hitch receiver on my new 2016 GMC Terrain. I then installed the wiring harness and it couldn't have been any easier. Took me about 20 minutes to install the harness. If all my projects were this easy, I would be a happy camper. Including photo of rear of the car with hitch. The harness connector is hidden up under the bumper cover so that it isn't just hanging down.



by:

Got my trailer hitch today and thing went on without a hitch. All ready cleaned out the the 12 mm weld nut threads with a tap. That was a three hour job by itself. Because the threads were all ready cleaned out with a tap (there is no way a wire brush and penetrating oil would ever work). The assembly went on without a hitch. Probably took me 2 hours at a relaxing pace. Used anti- seize on all threaded fasteners.



by:

Easy to install and very good instructi ons.



by:
2012 GMC Terrain

Fantastic perfect fit easy to use and install 30 min install including reading the owner's manual for conflicts there were none. Trailer hitch and wiring fit my 2012 GMC Terrian like it was from the factory



by:

Easy installation my only problem, I had to chase the the welded threaded nuts on the SUV. Looks good. I can now hook a trailer up for small hauling jobs



by:

Great product ,excellent fit ,easy install with help . Customer service is the best will recommend e trailer to everyone that needs hitches.
Thank you mike S for your help !



by:

I found the products I purchased from etrailer to be very good, easy to install at a reasonable price . I was pleased with my customer service from placing the order to delivery and follow up. I highly recommend etrailor and next time a purchase auto accessories I will start with etrailor.



by:
2013 GMC Terrain

Hitch fit perfect. A friend and I got it installed easy once I retreaded the weld holes on the SUV. Five and a half years really corroded them. Wiring was smooth also. Will buy from here again

    The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56210 that you referenced is intended for the Chevrolet Equinox that has the factory tow package.

  • Hitch Recommendation for 2013 GMC Terrain
    The biggest difference between the discontinued Hidden Hitch part # 87572, and the Curt Hitch part # 13591 that you referenced is the round tube vs. square tube. Another difference is that the Draw-Tite hitch uses a couple more attachment points. Either would work great for you. If it was me, I would probably go with the Draw-Tite based on the price difference. To complete your towing setup you may also be interested in the Curt Trailer Wiring Harness part # 56094.

For trailer wiring the Curt harness part # 56094 that you referenced is a confirmed fit, but I would rather see you use the Tekonsha part # 118494 as it has circuit protection built into it that the Curt does not.

You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 56094.

  • Items Required for Towing Travel Trailer with 2013 Chevrolet Equinox
    The Equinox with the 2.4L engine does have a towing capacity of 1000-lbs, or 1500-lbs if the trailer has brakes. This is what GM says the vehicle can tow and you do not ever want to exceed the rated capacity for the vehicle. If the trailer you select does not have brakes then you need only a 4-pole wiring harness for the lights on the trailer. You can use Curt part # 56094 for the easiest plug-in installation, or if you want a harness that will protect the vehicle wiring from overloads...

    The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Trailer Connector, # 56094, will fit your 2016 GMC Terrain and will work to operate the trailer stop, turn, and tail lights. But, it does not have a circuit protected or powered converter to protect your vehicle wiring.

Usually when this happens and a 6-Way is involved, it means that the 12-volt circuit and brake output circuit are switched. On just a 7-Way, there could be a short that is causing power draw to the brake output pin. And it could be a problem with the brake controller.
