Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Dodge Dakota (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 5,000 lbs. GTW and 500 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 8,000 lbs. WD and 800 lbs. WDTW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.
Trailer hitch weight ratings are limited to vehicle manufacturer's stated capacities
Not compatible for use with vertical hanging bicycles (bike racks that require the bicycles to be hung / mounted vertically)
Includes installation hardware

You will need: a 21 mm socket, a 1/2" hex bit socket, a ratchet, and a torque wrench. These are required to remove and reinstall the frame bolts and to torque all fasteners to specification.
The kit includes one 3/4"-10 UNC flat head socket cap screw (part 10-10545, grade 8, zinc-plated) and four 1/2" flat washers (part 30-00133, zinc-plated). The M14 frame bolts are existing fasteners on your vehicle and are reused during installation.
No, drilling is not required. The installation uses existing M14 frame bolt holes and an existing threaded spacer on the hitch.
Follow these steps in order: (1) Remove the four existing M14 flange bolts from the frame (two per side) and save them. (2) Raise the hitch into position and reinstall the M14 bolts with the provided washers, but do not tighten. (3) Install the 3/4" flat head socket cap screw through the bumper center hole into the threaded spacer on the hitch. (4) Tighten the M14 bolts.
