The gross load capacity when used as a weight-carrying hitch is 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight. Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, as that is the limiting factor.
Non-trailer loads may be applied to this hitch only if they are fully supported by auxiliary stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty.

Yes, the manual recommends temporarily lowering the exhaust to ease installation. It should be restored to its normal position after the hitch is secured.
Yes, drilling is required. You will drill one 3/8" hole, one 1/2" hole, and five additional 3/8" holes into the trunk pan. The hitch and its plates serve as templates for hole placement.
Drill one 3/8" hole aligned with the second hole forward from the tie-down loop opening on the passenger side plate. Drill one 1/2" hole using the slot in the passenger side plate as a template. Drill five additional 3/8" holes using the driver side plates as templates.
1. Align the hitch and drill the first 3/8" hole on the passenger side. Loosely install the long 3/8" bolt, fender washer, spacer, and hex flange nut. 2. Drill the 1/2" hole using the slot as a template. Loosely install the 1/2" bolt, conical toothed washer, flat washer, and handle nut. 3. With the hitch square on the vehicle, drill the five remaining 3/8" holes on the driver side. Install short 3/8" bolts, fender washers, and hex flange nuts. 4. Torque all fasteners to specification and apply silicone sealer to holes.
All 3/8" hardware must be torqued to 45 lb.-ft.
All 1/2" hardware must be torqued to 110 lb.-ft.
The handle nut may be cut off after installation if needed. This is optional and depends on clearance and your preference.
Yes, apply silicone sealer to all holes drilled in the trunk pan after torquing all fasteners. This prevents water intrusion and corrosion.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This helps maintain safety and prevent loosening due to vibration and use.
