The Curt 13344 Class II receiver hitch fits 97-07 Chevrolet Venture, 97-05 Oldsmobile Silhouette, 97-05 Pontiac Trans Sport, 05-07 Montana SV6, 08-current Montana SV6 (Canada only), 05-08 Chevrolet Uplander, 05-07 Saturn Relay, and 05-07 Buick Terazza. Fitment varies by wheelbase: short wheelbase models (2004 and older) use different spacer block placement than long wheelbase models. Verify your vehicle's year, model, and wheelbase before purchasing.
The Curt 13344 has a gross load capacity of 6000 lbs trailer weight and 600 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. When used as a weight distribution hitch, the capacity is 4000 lbs trailer weight and 400 lbs tongue weight. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower than these ratings.
Required tools are: ratchet, 6" extension, 3/4" socket, 11/16" socket, 15mm socket, 10mm socket, pliers, drill with 17/32" bit, and torque wrench. A drill is essential because installation requires drilling 1/2" holes in the vehicle frame rails.
Yes. Step 1 of the installation requires lowering the vehicle exhaust by lowering the exhaust hanger on the passenger side. This is necessary to provide clearance for the hitch installation. The exhaust hanger is reattached in Step 7 after the hitch is secured.
If your vehicle has a load leveling compressor, it must be lowered during installation. Step 2 requires lowering the load leveling compressor on the driver's side using one M10 bolt and two M6 nuts. If necessary, the vertical tab on the compressor bracket may need to be trimmed to clear the adjacent M10 bolt. The compressor is reattached in Step 7.
Yes, drilling is required. Step 4 requires drilling 1/2" holes in the vehicle frame rails using the rearmost holes in the hitch side plate as a template. On long wheelbase models, an additional 1/2" hole must be drilled through the forwardmost hole on the passenger side plate. On short wheelbase models, the forwardmost hole aligns with an existing slot in the frame rail and does not require drilling.
Possibly. Step 2 notes that if necessary, the vertical tab on the compressor bracket should be trimmed to clear the adjacent M10 bolt. This is not always required; trim only if the compressor bracket interferes with the M10 bolt during lowering.
Torque all 1/2" hardware to 110 lb-ft. Torque all M10 fasteners to 45 lb-ft. Torque all M6 fasteners to 9 lb-ft. These specifications apply to Step 8 of the installation.
The kit includes: 2 handle nuts (1/2-13 UNC), 2 hex head cap screws (1/2-13 UNC, 1-1/2"), 2 standard washers (1/2"), 1 serrated flange nut (1/2-13 UNC), 4 hex head cap screws (M10x1.5, 45mm), 4 standard washers (3/8"), 1 carriage bolt (1/2-13 UNC, 2"), 1 square hole spacer (.250 x 1.50 x 2.00"), 1 U-shape spacer (.250 x 1.75 x 2.00"), 4 round hole spacers (.250 x 2.00 x 2.00"), 2 round hole spacers (.188 x 1.50 x 2.00"), and 1 fishwire (1/2").
Follow these steps in order: (1) Lower the exhaust hanger on the passenger side. (2) If present, lower the load leveling compressor on the driver's side. (3) Raise the hitch into position and install M10 bolts into existing weldnuts on both sides. (4) Using the rearmost holes as a template, drill 1/2" holes in the frame rails (long wheelbase models require an additional hole on the passenger side). (5) Install the fishwire carriage bolt and spacer blocks on the passenger side through the existing slot. (6) Install the handle nut and hex bolt through the frame rail holes. (7) Reattach the exhaust hanger and load leveling compressor. (8) Torque all fasteners to specification.
On short wheelbase models (2004 and older), place 2 spacer blocks between the frame rail and hitch. On long wheelbase models, place 2 spacer blocks between the hitch and the flange nut. There may be unused spacers after installation is complete. The specific spacer types (square hole, U-shape, or round hole) are determined by the mounting configuration for each wheelbase.
On the passenger side, pass the fishwire carriage bolt and blocks through the existing slot in the frame rail down into the forwardmost hole. Secure using spacer blocks, lock washer, and nuts. The exact configuration depends on wheelbase: short wheelbase models place 2 spacer blocks between the frame rail and hitch, while long wheelbase models place 2 spacer blocks between the hitch and flange nut.
On all-wheel drive models, when reattaching the exhaust hanger in Step 7, it is necessary to pass the exhaust hanger through a 3" long slot in the side plate and use 2 1/4" spacer blocks to reattach the exhaust hanger bracket.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection helps maintain safe operation and prevents loosening of fasteners due to vibration and use.
The manual does not provide the hitch weight specification. Contact Curt Manufacturing or consult the product specification sheet for this information.
Yes, the Curt 13344 fits 97-07 Chevrolet Venture, 97-05 Pontiac Trans Sport, and related minivans (Oldsmobile Silhouette, Montana SV6, Chevrolet Uplander, Saturn Relay, Buick Terazza). Fitment depends on wheelbase: verify your model year and wheelbase before installation.
Yes. Installation requires drilling 1/2" holes in the vehicle frame rails. Long wheelbase models require two holes on the passenger side; short wheelbase models require one hole (the other aligns with an existing slot).
Yes. The exhaust hanger on the passenger side must be lowered. If your vehicle has a load leveling compressor, it must be lowered on the driver's side. Both are reattached after the hitch is secured.
Torque 1/2" hardware to 110 lb-ft, M10 fasteners to 45 lb-ft, and M6 fasteners to 9 lb-ft. Use a torque wrench and verify all fasteners after installation.
Required tools: ratchet, 6" extension, 3/4" socket, 11/16" socket, 15mm socket, 10mm socket, pliers, drill with 17/32" bit, and torque wrench.
Weight-carrying mode: 6000 lbs trailer, 600 lbs tongue weight. Weight distribution mode: 4000 lbs trailer, 400 lbs tongue weight. Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
