The hitch weight is 120 lbs.
When used as a weight-carrying hitch, the gross load capacity is 5,000 lbs. trailer weight and 500 lbs. tongue weight.
When used as a weight-distribution hitch, the gross load capacity is 7,500 lbs. trailer weight and 750 lbs. tongue weight.
The parts list includes: 14 FW12 flat washers (12 mm, zinc plated); 4 hex bolts 1/2-13 x 1 3/4; 2 carriage bolts 1/2-13 x 1 3/4; 6 round hole spacers (0.250 x 1.50 x 2.00 inches, part CM-SP16); 2 fender washers (1/2 inch); 4 square hole spacers (0.250 x 1.00 x 2.00 inches, part CM-SP12); 8 hex flange nuts (HFN 1213); 8 wedge spacers (1/2 inch, part CM-SP38); and 4 hex bolts 1/2-13 x 2 1/4. Hardware usage varies by application.
The spare tire should be lowered before installation to avoid contact with the hitch. However, relocation of the spare tire is not required; it may be repositioned forward to avoid contact with the hitch. After installation, raise the spare tire and check for clearance between the differential and brake lines.
If present, the carbon canister should be lowered from the driver's side frame rail before installation. It does not need to be fully removed. After installation, raise the carbon canister back into place. On pre-1992 models, take care not to drill into the carbon canister when drilling the frame holes.
Yes. Before installation, disconnect the factory-installed optional driver's side trailer wiring connection from the bumper. After the hitch is installed, reinstall the factory trailer wiring connection around the hitch.
Yes, drilling is required. For 1992 and later models, use the hitch as a template to drill one 1/2-inch hole in each frame rail. For pre-1992 models, drill three 1/2-inch holes per side through the frame. Some vehicles may have existing holes in the frame rail that can be used instead of drilling new ones.
A 1/2-inch drill bit is required to drill the frame holes for both 1992 and later models and pre-1992 models.
Yes. Remove frame undercoating from the attaching surfaces before installation. This applies to both 1992 and later models and pre-1992 models.
All fasteners must be tightened to 110 lb.-ft. (foot-pounds).
Yes. For 1992 and later models, position the hitch by lining up existing holes and drill one 1/2-inch hole per frame rail. For pre-1992 models, center the hitch so that the frame crossmember rivets fit into the notch in the side plates, then drill three 1/2-inch holes per side. On some pre-1992 models, the tail pipe and/or tail pipe bracket may need to be relocated and/or modified. Refer to Figures 3, 4, and 5 for pre-1992 installation details.
For 1992 and later models, loosely install hardware first using the hitch as a template to align holes, then drill the required holes, and finally tighten all fasteners to 110 lb.-ft. For pre-1992 models, install fasteners as shown in the figures and tighten to 110 lb.-ft.
After installation, raise the spare tire and carbon canister, then check for clearance between the differential and brake lines to ensure the hitch does not interfere with these components.
The manual does not specify whether professional installation is required. For questions about installation difficulty or whether you should hire a professional, contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634.
