CURT (56274): Custom Vehicle-to-Trailer Connector for 2015 Jeep Renegade

A CURT custom vehicle-to-trailer wiring harness (also called a T-connector) is a simple plug-and-play electrical device that eliminates the need for cutting, splicing, or soldering when installing vehicle-to-trailer wiring.

Most vehicles do not come ready to tow. Unless your vehicle has a towing package, it is probably not equipped with a trailer wiring connector. This is where CURT’s custom vehicle-to-trailer wiring harnesses come into play. They plug into your vehicle’s electrical system using original equipment (OEM) connectors. Our custom wiring harnesses use two or more OEM connectors to plug in at the taillight assembly and provide a standard trailer socket to allow a trailer to be plugged into your vehicle’s power system.

This harness provides a four-way flat connector socket and comes with a circuit-protected converter. It is designed for certain years of Jeep Renegade (to verify vehicle compatibility, see the CURT application guide at curtmfg.com). CURT custom vehicle-to-trailer wiring harnesses are long lasting and quick to install. Dust covers keep your connector clean when not in use, while a 1-year limited warranty gives you peace of mind.

CURT (16017): OEM-Compatible 5th Wheel Legs for Ford

CURT has developed OEM 5th wheel legs that are made to fit specific models of Ford trucks that have the included towing prep package. The legs mount directly onto the existing under-bed platform or mounting locations and allow any CURT 5th wheel hitch head to easily mount into the truck bed. With a gross trailer weight capacity of 24,000 lb., they are compatible with the CURT Q16, Q20, Q24, and E16 hitch heads.

The most unique feature of CURT’s OEM-compatible 5th wheel legs is the special anchoring system, which allows for quick installation while still supplying the necessary strength for heavy-duty towing. The variable-position anchors allow the 5th wheel hitch head to easily drop into the under-bed mounting brackets, and with a quarter-turn, the head can be installed or removed as needed. The anchors can also be adjusted to limit the movement of the hitch head and eliminate chucking noises.

To give you confidence in every job you undertake with your Ford pickup, CURT gave its OEM-compatible 5th wheel hitch legs a durable finish of black carbide powdercoat, making them extremely resilient to scratching, rusting, and UV damage. We also back our 5th wheel legs with a limited lifetime warranty to put your mind at ease with every mile traveled.

Outfitting your Ford pickup to tow a heavy-duty flatbed or livestock trailer is easy with the CURT factory-style gooseneck ball and safety chain anchor kit. In addition to the original-equipment-compatible gooseneck hitches that we carry to easily install on your truck, CURT offers the necessary gooseneck accessories to complement the towing prep package—all available in a convenient kit.

The factory-style gooseneck kit includes a Ford-specific gooseneck ball. This gooseneck fits perfectly into the Ford factory-style gooseneck hitch, and it provides a 2-5/16″ diameter to fit most standard gooseneck trailers. The factory-style ball also comes with a patent-pending installation system, operating with a simple quarter-turn latch lock for ease of use and a secure mount. It features a gross trailer weight capacity up to 30,000 lbs. and a vertical load limit of 7,500 lbs.

This CURT class 2 trailer hitch is made for light-duty towing, having a gross trailer weight capacity up to 2,000 lbs. and a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. This makes it an excellent choice for most smaller-size trailers such as single-axle utility trailers, small boat trailers, popup campers, and some recreational vehicle trailers. It is also perfect for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted cargo carrier or bike rack.

CURT class 2 trailer hitches are generally used on full-size cars, crossover SUVs, compact SUVs, minivans, and even some smaller pickup trucks. This particular hitch is designed to be a custom-fit trailer hitch for certain years of the Jeep Renegade (2WD only). It features a round tube frame and comes with a hitch pin and clip and all hardware necessary for a complete installation. It also features a 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″ receiver tube opening to accept a ball mount.
