The CURT 13454 has a gross load capacity of 3,500 lbs. trailer weight and 525 lbs. tongue weight when used as a weight carrying hitch. You must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
You will need: a die grinder, 3/4" socket, 6" socket extension, ratchet, torque wrench, marker, and safety glasses. A die grinder is essential because the installation requires enlarging the vehicle's mounting holes.
Yes, a die grinder is required. The installation process requires you to enlarge the vehicle's mounting holes using a die grinder after marking their location with the hitch as a template.
Two people may be required to ease installation. While not explicitly stated as mandatory, the manual recommends having a second person available to help with the process.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product. This is a mandatory safety requirement due to the use of a die grinder and other tools during installation.
Lowering the exhaust may ease installation, but it is optional. The manual notes this as a helpful tip to improve access during the installation process.
No drilling is required. However, the installation does require enlarging the vehicle's existing mounting holes using a die grinder. The holes are marked using the hitch as a template, then enlarged where marked.
All 1/2" hardware must be torqued to 110 lb-ft. This includes the 1/2" carriage bolts and 1/2" flange nuts used to secure the hitch to the vehicle frame.
The hitch includes: 6 x 1/2" flange nuts (part 20-00062), 6 x 1/2" carriage bolts (part 10-10278), 6 x CM-SP10 spacers (0.250 x 1.00 x 2.50" square hole), and 6 x 1/2" fishwire hardware. The fishwire is used during installation to thread the bolts and spacers through the enlarged holes.
1. Temporarily raise the hitch into position, align mounting holes, mark the forwardmost holes, lower the hitch, and enlarge the marked holes using a die grinder. 2. Use fishwire to thread 2 CM-SP10 spacers and 2 carriage bolts through the enlarged holes on both sides, then reverse fishwire 1 spacer and 1 bolt through the enlarged hole on both sides. 3. Raise the hitch into position and secure with 1/2" flange nuts. 4. Torque all 1/2" hardware to 110 lb-ft.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection helps maintain the safety and integrity of the installation.
