Yes, the 01 - 06 Mitsubishi Montero 2in. CURT Trailer Hitch + Ball Mount + Cover + Lock Kit HWA1982 (Part #HWA1982) is designed to fit the 2001-2006 Mitsubishi Montero.
The 01 - 06 Mitsubishi Montero 2in. CURT Trailer Hitch + Ball Mount + Cover + Lock Kit HWA1982 (Part #HWA1982) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, the Curt 13800 is designed for 2001-2006 Mitsubishi Montero models, except the Sport variant. If you have a Montero Sport, this hitch is not compatible.
No. The Curt 13800 is designed for the standard Montero only and is explicitly not compatible with the Montero Sport variant.
The manual specifies that when used as a weight-carrying hitch, the gross load capacity is 5,000 lbs. trailer weight and 500 lbs. tongue weight. When used as a weight-distribution hitch, the capacity is 6,000 lbs. trailer weight and 600 lbs. tongue weight. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower.
No. The manual explicitly states 'NO DRILLING REQUIRED' for this installation. The hitch uses existing weldnuts on the vehicle's frame rails.
The parts list includes: five hex tap bolts (part 10-10277), five washers (part 30-00149), and two 7-inch cable ties (part CM-HCT-15). The manual does not specify whether M12 bolts required for installation are included or must be supplied separately.
1. Remove the plastic fascia by removing the bottom fasteners from the tow hook assembly bracket. 2. Remove the entire tow hook assembly (eight fasteners total). 3. If the vehicle has a rear air conditioning unit, install an M12 bolt in the forward passenger side hole to prevent vibration noise. 4. Raise the hitch into position and loosely install the M12 fasteners. 5. Reattach the plastic fascia with the provided cable ties. 6. Torque all fasteners to 86 lb.-ft.
Yes. Step 2 of the installation requires removing the entire tow hook assembly, which involves removing eight fasteners total. This must be done before raising the hitch into position.
After raising the hitch into position and loosely installing the M12 fasteners, reattach the plastic fascia using the two 7-inch cable ties (CM-HCT-15) provided with the hitch.
All fasteners on the Curt 13800 must be torqued to 86 lb.-ft. This is the final torque value applied after the hitch is raised into position and all fasteners are loosely installed.
If your vehicle is equipped with a rear air conditioning unit, install an M12 bolt in the forward passenger side hole during step 3 of the installation. This prevents vibration-related noise from the rear AC unit.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify a particular interval, but regular inspection is recommended to maintain safe operation.
No. The manual explicitly states: 'DO NOT EXCEED VEHICLE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED TOWING CAPACITY.' Even though the hitch has a rated capacity, you must follow your vehicle manufacturer's lower limit if it is less than the hitch rating.
Yes, for 2001-2006 Mitsubishi Montero (except Sport). The Sport model is not compatible.
No drilling required. The hitch uses existing weldnuts on the frame rails.
All fasteners must be torqued to 86 lb.-ft. after the hitch is positioned and loosely installed.
Weight-carrying: 5,000 lbs. trailer / 500 lbs. tongue. Weight-distribution: 6,000 lbs. trailer / 600 lbs. tongue. Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended capacity.
