  • 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. Converter is made using SMT to ensure superior performance.

  • Provides a 4-way flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer's signal lights

  • Connects quickly and easily - no cutting or splicing of wires

  • Constructed using surface-mount technology (SMT) for consistent, reliable performance
    • Maximizes trailer light yield and intensity while producing minimal heat
    • Ensures superior operation in rough road conditions
  • Comes with dust cap for 4-way flat connector


Specs:

  • Maximum amperage:
    • Stop/turn lights: 3 amps per circuit
    • Tail lights: 6 amps per circuit
  • 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 tail light housing in your trunk.


Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed in an out-of-the-way location within your trunk.


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.


Tail Light Converter with Surface-Mount Technology

A tail light converter is built into this T-connector. Because most trailers run on a two-wire system - wherein the brake and turn signals are carried on one wire - the separate brake and turn signals from your vehicle's three-wire system need to be combined so they are compatible with the wiring system of the trailer. This converter combines the brake and turn signal functions of your automobile so that they run on one wire to properly activate your trailer's tail lights. Note: This will not affect how the tail lights on your vehicle operate.


Curt builds each tail light converter using surface-mount technology (SMT). This method of construction involves soldering electronic components directly to the surface of a printed circuit board. SMT eliminates the need for leads, which are used in older through-hole technology. The result is a circuit board that is smaller yet provides more routing area and that offers superior performance, reliability and durability.


Curt SMT Circuit Boards

Circuit boards constructed using SMT have been shown to perform better under rough conditions with excessive vibration than those made using the through-hole method. And where would vibration be more likely to occur than in towing applications? Curt converters also produce less heat, leading to increased durability and longer life. In addition, lower levels of resistance ensure better performance, especially for parts that operate at higher frequencies.


Each Curt circuit board is made using high-quality components that are pieced together in the most technologically savvy fashion, leading to greater predictability and reliability in functioning.

I ordered a hitch and wiring for the same car. After installing the hitch I found out the hitch is in the way of the wiring that needs to be routed to the turn signals located in the rear bumper. No where in the literature does it state the wiring should be installed first. I bought both items from etrailer, so the problem might be with them and not the manufacturer of the parts. However, it was still a pain to remove the hitch immediately after install to route the wiring and then re-install the hitch.

the connectors work great and very easy to install.I at first had trouble getting the right ones for my car but with the help of the staff i got the tight one.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness That Will Not Obstruct Rear Camera On a 2021 Kia Forte
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C55HR will not block the rear camera on your 2021 Kia Forte. I recommend installing the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C54ER when you install the receiver. This will give you a 4-way flat connector that is needed in the event you tow a small trailer. It will also allow you to use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 if your hitch mounted accessory impairs the view of your tail lights.

  • Do You Have To Drill The Frame On the 2021 Kia Forte To Install the Curt Receiver?
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C55HR does require holes to be drilled in the frame as there is currently only one hole on each side of the frame available for mounting the receiver. Each additional hole on each side of the frame is required to provide the strength to hold the receiver in place while being used. There currently are no hitches available that do not require drilling to install them on your 2021 Kia Forte. I recommend installing a Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C55HR Fit a 2021 Kia Forte LXS Sedan?

The Curt item # C55HR has a 200lb tongue weight rating and a 2000lb trailer weight rating making it a great option for carrying a bike rack, cargo carrier, or even light duty towing.

  • Can Curt C11368 Class I Hitch Be Removed From 2017 Kia Forte and Installed on 2020 Model
    The 2017 Kia Forte was the second to last model year of the 2nd generation Forte, while the 2020 is the second model year of the 3rd gen. There were enough changes in the structure of the vehicle from the 2nd to the 3rd gen that unfortunately your Curt # C11368 from your 2017 Forte will not work on your 2020 model. For the 2020 Forte sedan, I'd recommend the Curt # C55HR Class I hitch you'd looked at. As you can see in the photo I provided, once installed the # C55HR will be much more...

  • Finding The Driver-Side Wiring Harness In My 2020 Kia Forte For A 4-Pole Flat Installation
    The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, part # C54ER, has a plug behind the sidewall of the driver-side. It is not in the trunk because it is behind the sidewall. Unfortunately, we do not have a video of this installation. I was able to include diagrams from the installation instructions showing the sidewall and where to find the wiring harness connectors below.

  • Can You Carry a Mobility Scooter on a 2022 Kia Forte I have a 2022 Kia Forte that i
    The only trailer hitch options available for a 2022 Kia Forte are class 1, 1-1/4" like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C55HR which is what I recommend. Unfortunately, this hitch won't be cut out for hauling a mobility scooter as they don't make mobility scooter carriers for this size and the weight capacity is not enough when used with an adapter as you said. Therefore, your only option would be to place the mobility scooter on a small trailer and tow it behind the vehicle if applicable....

It has a 2,000 lbs towing capacity and a 200 lbs maximum tongue weight. Please note that this hitch only fits the sedan models. It will not fit the GT's.

    To add a hitch to your 2024 Kia Forte, I recommend the Curt item # C55HR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Kia with included hardware. This is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. It has a 2,000 lbs towing capacity and a 200 lbs maximum tongue weight.

  • Recommended Hitch for a Bike Rack on a 2019 Kia Forte Ex
    I would be happy to help you and make a recommendation. You are extremely limited on options for your 2019 Kia Forte as there is only one hitch available. It is the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver item # DT83MR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Kia with included hardware. It has a 1-1/4" receiver like the item # 24903 you were looking at. This hitch will be mostly concealed behind your Kia's rear trim with the exception of the receiver and safety chains that...

    We do not have a custom fit hitch specific to your 2023 Kia Forte GT but we did receive a review from someone who mentioned they were able to install it on their 2020 Forte GT but it took cutting a hole in the bumper and modifying part of the frame. I cannot speak to what all modifications were required but they used the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C55HR. I recommend installing the 4-way # C54ER when you install the receiver. This will allow you to connect to the lights on a small trailer...

  • Can I Tow A Golf Cart Trailer With The Draw-Tite DT83MR On A 2019 Kia Forte
    Hello David. The Draw-Tite # DT83MR is rated for towing up to 2,000 lbs. I am not sure exactly what cart and trailer you have, but as long as the weight of the trailer and cart combined is less than 2,000 lbs you will be just fine. Most golf carts are like 700 or 800 lbs and most 5x8 trailers would be about that weight as well. So, unless you have some excessively heavy cart or trailer you can definitely tow it 20 miles (or more) with the Draw-Tite # DT83MR hitch. Since you plant to tow...
