All Hardware and Installation Instructions Included!
Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Ford F150 (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 6,000 lbs. GTW and 600 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 10,000 lbs. WD and 1,000 lbs. WDTW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.
If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution. A custom wiring harness -- also called a T-connector -- is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your automotive electric system and provides a standard, universal trailer wiring connection. This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation. Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing. This particular plug-in harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness to fit certain years of the Ford F150 (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use. You have a picture in mind of your next destination -- maybe it's the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it's a campsite that overlooks one of nature's masterpieces, or maybe it's the next big jobsite. However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming. It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power. CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing hitch setup.

All 5/8" fasteners must be torqued to 210 lb.-ft. This includes the hex bolts, carriage bolts, and flange nuts used throughout the installation.
When used as a weight-carrying hitch, the gross load capacity is 6,000 lbs. trailer weight and 600 lbs. tongue weight. However, do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
When used as a weight-distribution hitch, the gross load capacity is 10,000 lbs. trailer weight and 1,000 lbs. tongue weight. However, do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
The hitch weight is 54 lbs.
The estimated install time is 30 minutes.
The hitch includes: 2 pieces of 5/8" fishwire, 5 bolts (5/8-11 UNC, Grade 8, zinc-plated), 5 square hole spacers (0.375 x 1.25 x 2.50"), 2 hex cap screws (5/8-11 UNC, 1-1/2", Grade 8), 2 flat washers (5/8", zinc-plated), and 7 serrated flange nuts (5/8-11 UNC, Grade 8, zinc-plated).
In Step 2, raise the hitch into position and insert 5/8" hex bolts and washers through the factory chain loop holes and holes in the top plate of the hitch. Secure with 5/8" flange nuts and finger tighten initially. Final torque to 210 lb.-ft. is applied in Step 5.
Fishwire hardwire installation (Step 4) means using the included 5/8" fishwire to pull the carriage bolts and spacers through the square access holes in the frame rails. The bolts are pulled through the holes in the frame and out through the hitch side plate mounting holes, then secured with 5/8" flange nuts.
In Step 3, the 5/8" carriage bolt and spacer are installed into the rearmost hole on the passenger side frame rail and hitch side plate. This bolt is secured with a 5/8" flange nut and finger tightened initially, then torqued to 210 lb.-ft. in Step 5.
Yes. Steps 2 and 3 specify finger tightening the 5/8" flange nuts initially. All fasteners are then torqued to 210 lb.-ft. in Step 5 after the hitch is fully positioned.
1. Lower the exhaust by removing the hanger from the frame. 2. Raise the hitch and insert 5/8" hex bolts and washers through factory chain loop holes and hitch top plate holes; secure with flange nuts and finger tighten. 3. Install the 5/8" carriage bolt and spacer into the rearmost hole on the passenger side frame rail and hitch side plate; secure with flange nut and finger tighten. 4. Fishwire the remaining 5/8" carriage bolts and spacers through square access holes in the frame rails, pull through, and secure with flange nuts. 5. Torque all 5/8" fasteners to 210 lb.-ft. 6. Reinstall the exhaust.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. While the Curt 13357 has a weight-carrying capacity of 6,000 lbs. trailer weight and 600 lbs. tongue weight (or 10,000 lbs. trailer weight and 1,000 lbs. tongue weight as a weight-distribution hitch), your Ford F-150's manufacturer specifications take precedence.
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 prevent loosening due to vibration during towing.
