Beta Don Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Just finished installing the Curt Hitch on my 2014 SWB Van. Very impressive hitch for the price. I found it on-line for $125 with free shipping. The hitch is rated for more tongue weight than the van and it's also rated to tow a heavier trailer than the van is rated for. Very easy install - No messing with the exhaust or the spare tire. Took about an hour and most of that was figuring out how to snake the bolts and backing plates up inside the frame Bought an aftermarket 'plug and play' trailer wiring harness. You unplug the tail light connectors and plug the harness into the connector you removed and it's jumper into the tail lights. This unit uses 12 volts from the battery to power the trailer lights and the switchbox just pulses that power to the trailer using the tail light wiring as a trigger so the trailer lights do not overload the car's wiring. That install also took about an hour. I didn't have to run the +12 wire all the way up to the battery like the instructions said to do - I got my 12 volts from the rear accessory plug just behind the back seats. The whole install looks great and works well Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G B L Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I have the same thing. Works very well. Getting the Spare out from under the TC if you have a flat is a challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
