A CURT trailer hitch is the key to pursuing your passions, whether you're taking the family boat out for an afternoon on the water or packing up the mountain bikes for a day on the trails. This CURT class 2 hitch is perfect for towing a small trailer, such as a boat trailer, lightweight camper or utility trailer. It can also be used to mount a hitch cargo carrier or bike rack (never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Like all CURT custom hitches, this class 2 trailer hitch is made for a vehicle-specific fit. It is engineered to seamlessly integrate with select years of the Buick Estate Wagon, LeSabre, Roadmaster, Chevrolet Caprice, Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser and Pontiac Parisienne (see application info to verify fitment). It is rated for 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 350 pounds tongue weight. It is also equipped with 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" hitch receiver to accept the included ball mount. The ball mount that comes with this hitch kit has a 3/4" trailer ball hole and can be positioned in the drop or rise orientation for level towing with your specific trailer (trailer ball not included). Like all CURT custom receiver hitches, this class 2 hitch is designed, manufactured, finished and tested with the utmost care. It is engineered for a precise fit, easy installation, maximum towing strength and an integrated look on the vehicle. It is also tested to SAE J684 protocols for safety. This class 2 trailer hitch is finished with our industry-leading dual-coat process for unparalleled rust, chip and UV resistance. It is descaled for a smooth surface, submersed in liquid A-coat for rust prevention inside and out, covered with a highly durable powder coat, and finally co-cured for a dependable shield against the elements. This class 2 hitch comes with a ball mount, hitch pin and mounting hardware for a complete installation.
Trailer hitch weight ratings are limited to vehicle manufacturer's stated capacities

The manual specifies a gross load capacity of 3,500 lbs. trailer weight and 350 lbs. tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower. Check your vehicle's owner manual for the maximum towing limit.

The hitch assembly includes: four 3/8-16 x 1½ hex bolts; four 3/8" conical toothed washers; four 3/8-16 hex flange nuts; two 7/16-14 x 2.50 x 2.75 C-C U-bolts; and four 7/16-14 hex flange nuts. You will also need to remove four factory bolts from the bumper shock mounts, which are discarded.
You will need a torque wrench, wrenches or sockets to fit 3/8" and 7/16" fasteners, a drill with a 1/2" drill bit, and hand tools to remove factory bolts. Do not use an impact wrench on the U-bolts.
The manual does not state that the bumper must be removed. You only need to access the lower two bolts from each bumper shock mount located at the end of each frame rail to remove them. Depending on your vehicle's design, you may be able to access these bolts without full bumper removal, but this is not specified in the manual.
Yes. You must drill two 1/2" diameter holes in each vehicle frame rail using the holes in the hitch frame brackets as guides. This is a permanent modification to the vehicle frame.

Hand tighten the U-bolts to 55 lb.-ft of torque. Do not over-tighten the U-bolts and do not tighten them with an impact wrench.
1. Remove the lower two bolts from each bumper shock mount at the end of each frame rail and discard them. Enlarge the holes to accept 3/8" bolts if needed. 2.

Drill two 1/2" holes in each frame rail using the hitch frame bracket holes as guides. 5. Insert a 7/16" U-bolt into each vehicle frame at the drilled holes and bolt the hitch arms to the frame. Hand tighten U-bolts to 55 lb.-ft. 6. Torque the 3/8" bolts to 45 lb.-ft.
All non-trailer loads applied to this hitch must be supported by auxiliary stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty.

The manual does not specify a check interval, so consult your vehicle owner's manual or contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 1-800-798-0813 for recommended maintenance intervals.
