The manual indicates a gross load capacity of 6,000 lbs. trailer weight and 600 lbs. tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. The hitch weight is listed in the manual specifications. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower than these ratings.
Yes, the Curt 13161 is designed for the Chevrolet Tahoe PPV. The manual confirms this application. If you have a different model year or variant, contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634 to verify fitment.
You will need: a 21mm socket, a ratchet, a torque wrench, and safety glasses. Spray lubricant is also recommended for cleaning the weldnuts before installation.
The hitch includes 6 M14x2 high-strength cap screws (HHCS) in grade 10.9 with zinc plating, and 6 conical washers (S-CON, 9/16 inch). These bolt into existing weldnuts on your vehicle's frame rails. No additional fasteners are required for installation.
Yes. If present, remove the 6 existing bolts from both frame rails and discard them. Clean the weldnuts with spray lubricant and a small wire brush before installing the new M14 bolts.
1. Remove any existing bolts from both frame rails and discard them. Clean the weldnuts with spray lubricant and a small wire brush. 2. Lift the hitch into place and install the 6 M14 bolts with conical washers as shown in the manual. 3. Torque all M14 fasteners to 150 lb.-ft.
No. The manual explicitly states 'NO DRILLING REQUIRED'. The hitch uses existing weldnuts on your vehicle's frame rails.
All M14 fasteners must be torqued to 150 lb.-ft. Use a calibrated torque wrench to ensure proper tightness and avoid over-tightening.
Non-trailer loads are not recommended without additional support. The manual states: 'ALL NON-TRAILER LOADS APPLIED TO THIS PRODUCT MUST BE SUPPORTED BY 18050 STABILIZING STRAPS.' Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty.
The hitch has a gross load capacity of 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. Always check your vehicle's owner's manual for the maximum safe towing limit.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This helps maintain the integrity and safety of the installation.
