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 Tesla Model 3 (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 2,000 lbs. GTW and 200 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)
Includes installation hardware

The CURT 13449 is rated for a maximum of 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 300 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower. Always verify your Tesla Model 3's towing limits before towing.
Yes, the CURT 13449 is designed for Tesla Model 3 sedans from 2017-present. However, installation procedures vary slightly for 2017-2019 models versus 2021 and newer models. On 2017-2019 models, you must remove a plastic rivet from the trunk liner. On 2021 and newer models, the bumper beam attachment uses a different nut configuration (5 nuts on driver side, 2 on passenger side, versus 3 on each side on earlier models).
You will need: ratchet, 8-inch socket extension, torque wrench, sockets in 8mm, 10mm, 15mm, 17mm, and 3/4 inch sizes, a pry tool, aviation shears, and safety glasses. A Torx bit screwdriver is also needed to remove the bumper cover fasteners from the rear fender.
The kit includes: 6 bolts (7/16-14 UNC, 1-1/2 inch, Grade 8, yellow zinc, part 10-10282), 14 flat nylon washers 3/4 inch (part 30-00155), and 6 serrated flange nuts 7/16-14 UNC Grade 8 yellow zinc (part 20-00103). The nylon washers must be used to prevent hitch-to-vehicle contact.
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected. Since the installation involves unplugging the taillight electrical harness, contact CURT Technical Support at 877-287-8634 to confirm whether battery disconnection is necessary for your safety.
Two people may be required to ease installation. The manual notes that using proper tools will greatly improve the quality of the install and reduce the time required. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, CURT recommends contacting an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance.
You must temporarily remove: the trunk liner (on 2017-2019 models), plastic trunk stops, taillights, rear fascia, underbody panel, and bumper beam. All of these parts are reinstalled after hitch installation. The bumper beam plates are also removed but returned to the vehicle owner.
No, drilling is not required. The hitch uses existing vehicle attachment points and fasteners.
Yes, trimming of the rear underbody panel is required. You must use the Trim Diagram provided in the manual as a reference. The manual notes that all dimensions are approximate and you must confirm fit prior to trimming. Use aviation shears to cut the panel. The trimmed panel is then reinstalled.
The 7/16 hardware must be torqued to 60 ft-lbs. Nylon washers must be used with this hardware to avoid hitch-to-vehicle contact.
The M10 hardware must be torqued to 45 ft-lbs. Nylon washers must be used with this hardware to avoid hitch-to-vehicle contact.
The installation involves unplugging the taillight electrical harness to remove the taillights, and then replugging it when the taillights are reinstalled. The hitch itself does not require any new electrical connections or wiring.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product. Before you begin installation, read all instructions thoroughly. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance.
All non-trailer (wheel-less) loads applied to this hitch must be supported by CURT 18050 Stabilizing Straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty. For further information about stabilizing straps, see the CURT catalog or visit www.curtmfg.com.
After installation, periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection is important for safe operation.
