Would someone with a 2025 or 26 XL or XLT be willing to remove a tail light and un-snap the connector, so I can get verification of the "keying" used? Would like a clear picture looking into the vehicle-side. Needs to be a XL or XLT with non-LED OEM tail lights.

Or, if you are close to 60185, bring it over, and I'll heat up the garage,,,,

Thanks, HRG

I purchase this kit so I would not have to “tap” the harness to put in a tailgate light bar. Have not put it in yet but plan to this week. When I take it apart I will snap a picture also.

Thanks. Curt's website only shows '25 compatibility with LED taillights, other have reported that the #56477 kit does not fit your '25 XLT. If it does, great, but when you go to install, please snap some pics.
Supposedly, they are creating a new kit, #56567, for '25-26 non-LED applications.

Well you are correct, 56477 is close but no cigar. I took pictures but it is tough to tell they don’t fit, they are that close.

@dsweet3331 Awesome, thank you. That confirms what I've been reading, that the 25/26 XL/XLT is using a Molex keying option "B", rather than the previous option "C".

If you find a source for the harness all I really want is the turn, stop, park wires to connect a tailgate bar light. Just did not want to tap the original harness wiring.

Thinking out loud, I could order the correct housings, and swap your Curt harness over. But, if they claim that the new design harness (with presumably the correct connectors) will be available in a month or so, it's probably better to return the one you bought, and buy the new one when available.
