When we came to the limits of towing capacity, we wanted to know what else was out there. What could we discover off the beaten path? So, we kept going. CURT class 5 Xtra Duty hitches begin a class of their own, beyond class 4 and beyond anything the standards dictate. They are designed for the hard road where only full-size pickup trucks, vans and SUVs dare to tread. They are capable of pulling almost any heavy-duty trailer, including toy haulers, dump trailers, logging trailers, small yacht trailers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component). This particular Xtra Duty class 5 trailer hitch offers a gross trailer weight capacity of 16,000 lbs. and an extra-high tongue weight capacity of 2,400 lbs. It features a 2" x 2" receiver tube opening to accept a ball mount or hitch-mounted accessory, such as a cargo carrier or winch mount. It is designed to be a custom-fit trailer hitch for certain years of the Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 (to verify compatibility with your vehicle, see application info). For a little extra towing power and stability, this class 5 hitch can also be used in combination with a weight distributing hitch. It is rated for 17,000 lbs. WD and 2,400 lbs. WDTW. In our drive to create a more powerful hitch, CURT has not neglected the finer details. Our class 5 trailer hitches are welded with precision and go through multiple stages of cleaning to create a smooth surface that is ready to accept our co-cured finish. To protect them from corrosion, chipping and UV damage, these hitches are immersed in a liquid A-coat and then finished in a high-quality black carbide powder coat. They come with grade-8 mounting hardware for solid installation.
Trailer hitch weight ratings are limited to vehicle manufacturer's stated capacities
Includes strong, grade-8 installation hardware

The hitch weight is 40 lbs.
You will need a ratchet, torque wrench, 7/8" socket, and 3/4" socket. The torque wrench is essential because fasteners must be torqued to specific values: 110 ft-lbs for 1/2" hardware and 130 ft-lbs for 9/16" hardware.
The kit includes: four 1/2-13 UNC carriage bolts (part 10-10288), two 9/16-12 UNC carriage bolts (part 10-10329), four 1/2-13 UNC serrated flange nuts (part 20-00062), two 9/16-12 UNC serrated flange nuts (part 20-00104), four 0.250 x 1.50 x 2.00" square hole spacers (part CM-SP1), and two 0.313 x 1.50 x 2.00" 9/16" square hole spacers (part CM-SP71).
The manual indicates drilling may be required on some models. The installation notes state "MAY REQUIRE DRILLING" and "NOTE: MAY NEED TO DRILL HOLE ON SOME MODELS." The hitch aligns with existing 1-1/8" round holes at the rear of the frame rails, but drilling may be necessary depending on your specific truck. Contact Curt Manufacturing at 1-877-287-8634 if you are unsure whether drilling is needed for your vehicle.
1. Raise the hitch and align the rear mounting holes with the 1-1/8" round holes at the rear of the driver and passenger side frame rails. 2. Install 9/16" carriage bolts and CM-SP71 spacers in the rearmost hole, and 1/2" carriage bolts and CM-SP1 spacers in the two forward-most holes on both sides. 3. Secure the hitch with hex flange nuts. 4. Torque all 1/2" hardware to 110 ft-lbs and all 9/16" hardware to 130 ft-lbs.
Torque all 1/2" hardware to 110 ft-lbs.
Torque all 9/16" hardware to 130 ft-lbs.
The rear mounting holes align with 1-1/8" round holes at the rear of the driver and passenger side frame rails.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The manual does not specify the hitch's capacity limits. Consult your Dodge Ram owner's manual or contact Curt Manufacturing at 1-877-287-8634 for capacity information.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection helps maintain safe operation and extends the life of the hitch.
