While this is indeed handy, if you are towing only occasionally it is a perfectly good idea to leave the wiring inside the car until needed, and to then pull it out the rear hatch. The rubber molding on the hatch will protect... view full answer...
The Curt Class III Trailer Hitch # C13073 that you reference will require the heat shield to be trimmed.

Curt directs to trim the heat shield in step 2 of the hitch installation instructions, and I cannot recommend that you deviate from these installation instructions.
