BRP Trailer Hitch and Harness

[sjcpanther]

I have a 2012 RT. Looking to upgrade to a 2014 RT-S.

Will the hitch and harness transfer over, or does the 2014 use something different?

Yes you should be able to transfer it over. Over the years the output end of the wiring harness has changed. But how it plugs into the Spyder has not.

I understand the hitch itself will not transfer without modification because of the new Brembo brake caliper setup.

Yes it will transfer to the 2014 RT just fine. I just did the same thing from the 2012 RTL to 2015 RT-SS. Everything plugged in just fine, plug-and-play.

Also the hitch went on with no modification just be careful of the brake lines on the right-hand side when you're installing the hitch.

I'm hearing conflicting reports over whether the 2012 hitch and module will work on the 2014 RT.

Looking at the hitch and module that I have installed on my 2012 -- part # 219400432, is the same kit as specified for the 2014 on the BRP store web site, why would there be any confusion?

Any ideas?

Just trying to get my ducks in a row before I take ownership of my new 2014 RT-S next week.

Trust me the hitch itself from all years will transfer over. I know someone that put a 2010 hitch on a 2015 no issue. Wiring harness was different. As Billy said, later model hitch wiring should be the same. It's the 2010-2011 hitch wiring that was a pain in the A**.

In general those that don't know what they are talking about cause confusion. So ignore them.

Shameless self promotion here... but if you need a new harness and module, I have the set posted in the classifieds section:
