Yes, part number 13334 is designed for Dodge Nitro, Nitro SLT, and Nitro R/T models. Confirm your vehicle matches one of these models before installation.
The Curt 13334 receiver hitch is designed for Dodge Nitro, Nitro SLT, and Nitro R/T models. Verify your vehicle model before purchasing or installing.
No. The Curt 13334 requires no drilling. It uses existing frame holes and fastens to the vehicle frame with the factory tow hook removed.
Remove the factory tow hook from the bottom of the driver side vehicle frame and discard its attaching bolts. Also remove the bolt holding the gas filler neck protector bracket to the frame. The gas filler neck protector bracket will be repositioned between the hitch and frame during installation.
The kit includes 6 M12×1.75 Grade 10.9 hex cap screws (part 10-10459) and 6 1/2" conical toothed washers (part 30-00149). These are the only fasteners needed for installation.
The manual does not specify required tools. You will need a wrench or socket to tighten M12 bolts and a torque wrench to achieve the final torque specification of 79 ft.-lbs. Consult the manufacturer if you need a complete tool list.
All M12 bolts must be torqued to 79 ft.-lbs. Tighten bolts finger-tight first, then apply final torque in this sequence.
Torque all M12 bolts to 79 ft.-lbs. Begin by tightening bolts finger-tight only (step 3), then apply final torque (step 4).
1. Remove the factory tow hook from the driver side frame and discard its bolts. Remove the bolt holding the gas filler neck protector bracket to the frame. 2. Raise the hitch into position with the gas filler neck protector bracket between the hitch and frame, and align hitch holes to frame holes. 3. Fasten the hitch with M12 bolts and 1/2" conical toothed washers, tightened finger-tight only. 4. Torque all M12 bolts to 79 ft.-lbs. 5. Return the tow hook to the customer.
The gas filler neck protector bracket must be positioned between the hitch and the vehicle frame during installation. It remains in this position when the hitch is fastened to the frame.
No. First tighten all M12 bolts finger-tight only (step 3). Then, in a second pass, torque all bolts to 79 ft.-lbs. (step 4). This two-stage approach ensures proper alignment and even clamping.
The manual lists separate capacity ratings for weight-carrying and weight-distribution modes, indicating the hitch can be used in both configurations. However, the specific capacity values are blank in the manual. Contact Curt Manufacturing for the rated capacities for each mode.
After installation, verify that all M12 bolts are torqued to 79 ft.-lbs. The manual also states: periodically check this receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. Perform these checks regularly during the life of the hitch.
The manual recommends periodically checking the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. No specific interval is given. Inspect before each towing trip and after heavy use.
