- CURT
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.
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

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.

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: Michael 04/24/2024
Easy to install, perfect fit, works well. I recommend also purchasing the plug mounting bracket.
by: Gary 02/16/2024
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: Leland11/06/2023
Very, very easy install on both the hitch and trailer wiring harness.
by: Donald03/09/2024
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.

Very simple plug and play wiring. Very happy with it
by: Ed H.06/24/2014
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 !!

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.

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

2012 Chevrolet Equinox
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.

Easy to install and very good instructi ons.

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.

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: Errol L11/01/2016
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.

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.

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: Mark A.08/31/2015
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: Ron09/05/2023
The box wax pretty poor but the hitch was fine.
I've been buying from etrailer for several years, and can't remember ever having anything other than what I expected, which was always great.

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: Walter09/03/2019
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: Brian 05/31/2023
Just installed this harness. Looks like a quality product; delphi connectors to match OEM and harness construction seems very good. Now we'll see how it works and holds up over time.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring
- Can Tongue Weight Capacity Be Added to Vehicle by Using Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper SpringsThank you for your purchase of etrailer 2-Inch Class III hitch # e98865 which is the highest-rated hitch offered for your 2014 Chevrolet Equinox. Although this hitch has a tongue weight (downward force) rating of 350-lbs some combinations of power chairs and carriers could exceed the hitch rating, or exceed the vehicle's own tongue weight (TW) rating. Vehicles like the Equinox that are primarily designed for passenger transport, rather than trailer towing, can have fairly low TW ratings....
view full answer... - How to Pick Out a Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2013 GMC TerrainThere are two trailer wiring kits available for your 2013 GMC Terrain without the tow package. The Curt kit part # 56094 that does not have a converter and the Tow Ready part # 118494 that does have a converter. Both are listed as fits so either would work, but the Tow Ready would be a safer option as it draws all of the amperage to power the trailer lights from the vehicle battery whereas the Curt powers the taillights by drawing from the taillight circuits. The drawback to the Tow Ready...
view full answer... - What Do I Need to Tow a Trailer with Brakes on a 2014 Chevrolet EquinoxYou will need a few things for a complete set up to tow a trailer on your 2014 Chevrolet Equinox. First, let's start with the trailer hitch: For your 2014 Chevrolet Equinox I recommend the Class III, 2 inch etrailer # e98865. Be sure to check your owner's manual to verify the towing capacity of your vehicle before you tow. It has a 2 inch hitch receiver opening (as opposed to 1-1/4 inch) which offers many more hitch mounted accessories to choose from when you're not towing your trailer....
view full answer... - What Is The Distance Between The Rear Frame Rails On A 2015 Chevrolet EquinoxThe distance between the inside edges of the rear frame rails on the 2015 Chevrolet Equinox is approximately 35". If you are looking for a rear hitch receiver compatible with this vehicle, I recommend using the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98865 as this hitch has the highest tongue weight (TW) and gross trailer weight (GTW) of any other hitch receivers confirmed as a fit for your vehicle. I have attached an installation video of this hitch on the same year vehicle for you....
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch for a 2017 GMC TerrainYes, the Curt Trailer Hitch item # 13591 will fit your 2017 GMC Terrain. However, I have a better option for you. I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e98865. This hitch is identical to the Curt hitch with the exception of the superior matte coating that not only helps to prevent rust but will also blend in nicely beneath your Terrain's trim. This etrailer Hitch item # e98865 custom fit for your Terrain and bolts to it with included hardware. It is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver....

- Tongue Weight Rating for etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2017 Chevy EquinoxThe etrailer Trao;er Hitch Receiver #e98865 has a maximum tongue weight of 400-lbs when used with a weight distribution system and 350-lbs without a weight distribution system. The gross trailer weight is 4000-lbs when used with a weight distribution system and 3,500 when used without. The towing capacity for your 2017 Chevy Equinox varies depending on your engine size. The 2.4L engine is rated to tow up to 1500-lbs. The 3.6L engine is rated to tow up to 3500-lbs according to the Chevy...
view full answer... - Towing Capacity and Recommended Parts for 2012 Chevy Equinox V6If your 2012 Equinox has a tow package it will state factory tow package on the bill of materials. According to the owners manual, the 4 cylinder towing capacity is 1500 lbs but your V6 can tow 3500 lbs if your trailer has brakes. Without trailer brakes the max weight is 1000 lbs. If you don't have the towing equipment, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # e98865. This is a nice and strong hitch that will allow for many ball mount and accessory...
view full answer... - Can the Curt T-Connector Be Used To Bypass the Factory Trailer Wiring On a 2014 GMC TerrainYes, the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 56094 will bypass the factory trailer wiring on your 2014 GMC Terrain. This harness draws signal from the tail lights and is then powered by the battery so it will be completely independent of the factory trailer wiring. It will also not cause any harm to the factory trailer wiring or factory tail light wiring either. The Curt T-Connector part # 56094 is a confirmed fit for your 2014 GMC Terrain.
view full answer... - Does the BCM Need to be Reprogrammed to Install a Trailer Connector Harness on a 2010 Chevy EquinoxI spoke with my contacts at Curt and Tow Ready, who both make wiring harnesses for the 2010 Chevy Equinox. They stated you will NOT have to reprogram the BCM or anything else to install the Curt T-Connector, # 56094, or T-One with Upgraded Circuit Protected Modulite, # 118494. I recommend the T-One with Upgraded Circuit Protected Modulite, # 118494, as it has a powered Modulite that will help protect your vehicles sensitive wiring. I have included a link to the installation details below....
view full answer... - Can Trailer Hitch and Trailer Wiring Harness from 2014 Chevy Equinox Be Moved to 2014 ModelThe hitch and wiring used on your 2012 Equinox can indeed be reused on your 2014 model. Both vehicles use the same hitches and wiring. However, the installation hardware for the hitch is not meant to be reused and should be replaced. To obtain replacement hardware, go to the the # RHK product page by using the link provided below. Type in the hitch part # C12291, select the name of the hitch manufacturer from the drop-down menu, and choose a quantity of 1. I'll link you to some install...
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2011 Chevy EquinoxYou will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 56094. Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way. If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit comes with everything needed to wire up the 7-way and install a brake controller. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Left Turn Signal Not Working After Installing Curt T-Connector 4-Way HarnessI first recommend using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test the left turn signal/brake light pin on the newly installed 4-Way. You can have a buddy activate the function in the vehicle while you test the pin for power. If you get appropriate power at this pin, then the issue is actually on the trailer side and you will want to turn your attention there. On the trailer, check its 4-Way for any corrosion or debris built up inside the pins, cleaning as needed. Make sure the main ground...
view full answer... - Which Wiring Harness for Installation on a 2010 Chevrolet EquinoxThe wiring harness you will need for your 2010 Chevrolet Equinox is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness, item # 56094. The installation is different for the 2010 Equinox and you will need to install the connectors behind each taillight on the vehicle.
view full answer... - What are the Differences Between Trailer Wiring Options for a 2012 Chevrolet EquinoxThe Curt wiring harness, # 56094 and the Tow Ready harness # 118264, are for different variations of a 2012 Chevy Equinox. Tow Ready harness # 118264 is designed for vehicles that have a factory tow package. Curt harness # 56094 is for a vehicle that does not have the factory tow package. You are correct in that the Curt harness would receive power through the vehicle wiring to the trailer lights. Any problem could affect the vehicle electrical system. Another option is to use the Tow...
view full answer... - Does a T-Connector Trailer Harness Need to be Plugged into Vehicle ECUCurt T-Connector harness part # 56094 does not need to be plugged into the computer of the vehicle. T-Connector style harnesses plug into the tail light wiring connectors with an additional wire that will need to be grounded to the vehicle body or chassis. Sometimes there is another wire that will need to be run to the battery.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2017 GMC TerrainFor a hitch for your 2017 GMC Terrain I would recommend the etrailer part # e98865 which is a confirmed fit, with great towing capacities, and because it has the best price. 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. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes...
view full answer... - What Parts Are Needed To Install the Curt Hitch C12291 On a 2014 GMC TerrainThe Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12291 which is a fit for your 2014 GMC Terrain comes with all the hardware and components needed for installation save for tools. This includes the fishwire tool, hex bolts, washers, carriage bolts, spacer blocks, and flange nuts. The only components that were mentioned in the video but not included in the kit are lubricant and a wire brush like part # 814092 but these are not required. If you will be towing a trailer then you might also want a trailer...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2010 GMC Terrain Towing Kayak TrailerFor your 2010 GMC Terrain I would still recommend going with a 2 inch hitch like the Curt part # 13591 as it will have more capacity (even though you don't really need it), but 2 inch hitches have more accessories made for them so it would give you greater future hitch accessory flexibility. For trailer wiring you would then want the part # 56094. Install video for both attached. Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900.

You can test it with a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 while someone runs through the lighting functions on the vehicle. If it is functional then you can use harness # 118264. If it turns out not to be functional then you will need either harness # 56094 or # 118494. I recommend the powered harness # 118494 because the direct connection to the battery is...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2014 Chevy EquinoxFor your 2014 Chevy Equinox, the vehicle wiring harness I recommend is # 118494. The converter is a nice feature because it will reduce strain on your wiring system as it connects directly to your battery. If there was ever a short in the wiring, it will only blow the converter or a fuse vs. if you had the wiring harness # 56094, a short could cause additional problems to your vehicle. A converter isn't required but it's definitely a worthwhile investment. I highly recommend using dielectric...
view full answer... - Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Chevy EquinoxThe Curt Hitch part # 13591 that you referenced is the correct hitch for your 2015 Chevy Equinox. Check out the install video I attached. For trailer wiring you would want the Curt Wiring Harness part # 56094. For ball mounts I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag.

I attached a picture that we got from a customer that shows the hitch installed on a similar 2015 Equinox that has dual exhaust just like yours. I attached an install video for you to check out as well. For trailer wiring you would then want the # 56094 which is a confirmed fit as well.

If the weight of your boat and trailer is under this while loaded then yes, you can tow it. If the loaded boat and trailer weighs more than this I cannot recommend it.

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.
