If yours come with a towing package it will have the module for the towing lights. This means it has a transmission oil cooler under the right front fender and the tow module already installed in the rear. Therefore all you need is the connector(harness) for it. This can be purchased through the dealer.

Yes. The wire harness supplies vehicle's power to trailer lights (and breaks if your trailer has them--i.e. campers). Working tail lights on trailers are required.

Yes will need to buy a wiring harness if your vehicle does not already have one, no wire harness is included with the hitch. Many larger vehicles will have a wiring harness or be designed to easily accept a wiring harness.

The hitch works perfectly well with out a wiring harness. It is just not legal to tow a trailer of any type on public roads without at least brake lights and turn indicater lights, often that includes tail lights and a license plate light for trailing at night.So, in practicality, yes you need the harness. I found the Curt harness to be well made with good clear simple to follow instructions and easy to connect. Make sure that you get the exact one for your particular year, make, and model car.

The wiring harness is for towing. If you are not going to tow any trailer or vehicle then you do not need it. I got the receiver hitch to connect my bicycle rack, which I did not need to get the harness.

You don't need a wiring harness if you are not hauling a trailer that needs to be street legal. I use mine for a bike rack for example. The hitch can be attached without it.

Thank you all for the replies. I am clear I don't need a harness for just hanging a bicycle.

It comes with a generic 4wire pigtail. They have separate harnesses for specific vehicles sold separately. They run about $13-$15 dollars. That would be the easiest way. That's what I did with mine. Plug and play.

I don't think so. You can do a search at curtmfg.com for a hitch. Then they will show accessory items that go with your hitch. The correct wiring harness should be listed there. If not, you can call Curt Mfg. I think your harness is 56158, but verify it before ordering.

The unit I bought came with the wire harness made just for my vehicle, but it also came with a universal harness that could be wired to any vehicle. I would check with the seller just to be sure.

Yes i found the wire that comes with the system just fine. If your setup needs a longer wire, then that may be a reason to invest in a thicker one, otherwise there is too much hype even in AVS forums about the wire.

Its 3 different wiring harness for that model of car I have a 99 mustang gt and its a pain best bet is to go to a stereo place and they can sell you the right one the first I bought all 3 and 3rd one was the right one its the mach system that makes it so difficult to hook up

If I remember correctly the wiring harness is a separate purchase - there is a plug and a transformer box that is needed for these. I bought these for lights in my kitchen cabinets - they are a really nice addition.

They should have a standard wire harness...mine did and was around 10 years old.

Oh I'm sorry I responded to the wrong item. But the same applies. I'm not sure what wires are needed for this. If you take it to a shop they will more than likely provide them. Sorry about that.

Contact Curt Manufacturing, and they can answer fitment questions. Not sure if they offer a quick harness for your vehicle or not, but if not, you can always hard wire it in yourself.

Comes with wiring with connectors attached for the Fortin module however these are then spliced into the various vehicle systems by hand. Depending on the scope of the functions intended to be interfaced can mean some extensive connections. Older vehicles may just be overriding the basic security however more modern may include remote starting and complex security. Obviously a t harness could be made up if you have access to the correct male / female connectors. This would not modify the existing harness. Splicing will modify the harness and could be complex though not impossible (56 yr old electronics engineer). My experience was with a 2000 Focus trying to override the PATS only.

When I purchased mine there was a pop up suggestion with a wiring harness. I didn't think I needed it but then purchased the same harness at best buy. The geek squad helped me with finding the correct one.

No. You will also need to purchase the wire harness specific to your vehicle.

Almost every manufacturer has an existing wiring harness if the vehicle came from the factory with a tow package. This is the information that I have found online for your truck.:You will need the Tekonsha wiring adapter # 3020 to go with your truck. Good luck! My customer loves his Controller.
