Trailer Hitch

Hi Members
I have a 2023 PHEV SEL AWD and really do enjoy the SUV. I can see we are all waiting for a trailer hitch and wiring harness. I called two dealers and they are waiting, estimated time June to be available from Mitsubishi Canada. Question why does UHAUL offer it installed on their website in Canada? Also has anyone had it installed?

Clearance is all good, the brand is Curt, I suspect U-Haul sells the same, for wiring, with this one no wire cutting needed

I was told it should be Curt56434, which is strange as the origianl aplication is Rav4, listed in their applicaation guide
ordered that one, will follow up this weekend
Application Guides - CURT (curtmfg.com)
So I confirm Curt 56434 is the correct part number for PHEV
See picture of the tail light connector compared to the curt

I did modify the harness as it is made to be installed on the left side, but since the PHEV battery is located on the rear right side, it is easier to install the module there

I swapped the green and yellow wires on the Curt harness, to invert the position of the right and left blinker

Also note, if you unplug the battery with the electric tailgate open, you will have to close it manually, as it seems to have loste It's position when reconnecting the battery and will not operate.

Does the hitch create any problems for the foot activated rear hatch sensor? I.e. can you still open it with your foot?
The Curt one does not
