The manual specifies a gross load capacity when used as a weight-carrying hitch, but the specific capacity values are not printed in this version of the manual. Contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634 for the exact towing and tongue weight specifications. Always verify that the hitch capacity does not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
No. The manual explicitly states "NO DRILLING REQUIRED." The hitch uses existing weldnuts in the bumper beam for fastening.
You must temporarily remove: (1) the plastic bumper fascia, (2) the large center door, and (3) both smaller left and right doors. This exposes the fascia mounting screws, which must also be removed. If your vehicle is equipped with an outboard spare tire carrier, temporarily remove the tire and mounting brackets as necessary.
The kit includes: (1) four M14×1.5×50 mm hex head cap screws (HHCS), class 10.9, part number 10-10546; (2) four lock washers, 9/16 inch, part number 30-00194; and (3) one 0.375 inch spacer plate, part number CM-13018-SP. The spacer plate is used only if your vehicle has a spare tire bracket mounted on the bumper beam.
Install the spacer plate between the hitch and bumper only if your vehicle is equipped with a spare tire bracket mounted on the bumper beam. If your vehicle does not have this bracket, the spacer plate is not needed.
Torque all hardware to 136 lb.-ft. (184 N·m). This applies to all four M14×1.5 hex head cap screws.
All non-trailer loads applied to the hitch must be supported by auxiliary stabilizing straps. The manual does not specify a weight limit for non-trailer loads, but failure to properly support them with stabilizing straps will void the product warranty.
No. The manual explicitly states: "DO NOT EXCEED VEHICLE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED TOWING CAPACITY." Even though the hitch has its own load capacity, you must never tow more than your vehicle's manufacturer recommends.
Periodically check the hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify an exact interval, but regular inspection before towing is recommended.
Contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634. They can answer installation questions and provide guidance specific to your vehicle.
