The manual does not provide the gross load capacity or tongue weight specifications for this hitch. Contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 877-287-8634 for capacity information, and always verify your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity before towing.

No. Do not use an impact wrench on the U-bolt. The manual specifically prohibits this. Use a standard wrench or socket to hand-tighten the U-bolt to the specified torque.
Torque the 7/16 inch U-bolt to 25 ft-lbs. Do not use an impact wrench.
Torque the 7/16 inch serrated flange hex nuts to 59 ft-lbs.
Drill four holes through the tire well floor. Use the installed hitch as a drill template to mark the hole locations. The manual indicates drilling occurs in the tire well area as shown in the installation diagram.
All non-trailer loads applied to this hitch must be supported by auxiliary stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty. Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This helps maintain safe operation and warranty coverage.
