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 Subaru Legacy and Outback (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 4,000 lbs. GTW and 600 lbs. TW. 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)

The manual specifies a gross load capacity when used as a weight-carrying hitch, but the exact trailer weight and tongue weight values are not filled in on the document provided. Contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634 for the complete capacity specifications. Always verify that your towing does not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
You will need: 10 mm and 19 mm sockets, an 8-inch extension, a ratchet, a torque wrench, a drill with a 17/32-inch bit, a rotary tool with a carbide bit, and tin snips or a file. A torque wrench is essential because all fasteners must be torqued to 110 ft-lbs.
The kit includes: 4 carriage bolts (1/2-13 UNC, 1-1/2 inch, Grade 8, yellow zinc), 4 square hole spacers (0.250 x 1.00 x 3.00 inch), 4 serrated flange nuts (1/2-13 UNC, Grade 8, yellow zinc), and 2 pieces of 1/2-inch fishwire.
Yes. You must lower the exhaust by removing the three rearmost rubber exhaust isolators from the frame-mounted hangers. Support the exhaust during installation to prevent damage. The exhaust is reinstalled after the hitch is secured.
Yes. You must remove the muffler heat shield and trim it to clear the mounting plate. The trim diagram shows a 1.125-inch removal along the bend line. The heat shield is reinstalled after the hitch is secured.
Yes, drilling is required. You must enlarge the forwardmost hole on each frame rail using a 17/32-inch drill bit to allow the carriage bolt and spacer to be inserted. You will also drill two additional forwardmost holes in the frame rails using the hitch as a template. The manual notes that drilling is required in the install notes.
Use a 17/32-inch drill bit. This is used to enlarge the forwardmost hole on each frame rail to allow the carriage bolt and spacer to be inserted.
Fishwire is a flexible wire used to guide fasteners into frame rail holes that are not directly accessible. For the Curt 13390, you thread a carriage bolt and spacer through fishwire and feed them into the rearmost hole in each frame rail before raising the hitch into position. The manual includes a Fishwire Hardware Technique diagram. Two pieces of 1/2-inch fishwire are included in the kit.
1. Fishwire a carriage bolt and spacer into the rearmost hole in each frame rail. 2. Raise the hitch into position and loosely secure it with hex flange nuts. 3. Mark and drill the forwardmost holes in the frame rail using the hitch as a template. 4. Fishwire a carriage bolt and spacer into each newly drilled hole and secure with a hex flange nut. 5. Torque all hardware to 110 ft-lbs. Do not fully tighten fasteners until all four are in place.
All hardware must be torqued to 110 ft-lbs. This applies to all four carriage bolts and hex flange nuts. Use a torque wrench to ensure proper tightening.
Yes. After raising the hitch into position, center it on the vehicle before loosely securing it with hex flange nuts. This ensures proper alignment before the fasteners are fully torqued.
After installation, verify that all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. The manual recommends periodically checking the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners remain tight and that all structural components remain in good condition.
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. This applies to any load that is not a trailer.
No. The manual explicitly states: "DO NOT EXCEED VEHICLE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED TOWING CAPACITY." Even if the hitch has a higher capacity rating, you must follow your vehicle manufacturer's limits.
The manual recommends periodically checking the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. No specific interval is provided; perform checks regularly as part of vehicle maintenance.
