Connect to your lifestyle with a custom hitch receiver from CURT. All of our custom hitches are designed for a vehicle-specific fit, manufactured with pride, finished for industry-leading rust resistance and tested to rigorous SAE J684 standards for safety. This class 1 trailer hitch and ball mount combination is designed for a custom fit on select years of the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird (see application info to verify fitment). The hitch integrates with the vehicle's frame and provides a useful and dependable 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver. The receiver is perfect for attaching the included ball mount and towing a small trailer, or for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted cargo carrier, bike rack or other accessory. This particular class 1 hitch is rated for 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight and 200 pounds tongue weight (never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). The ball mount included with this trailer hitch quickly and easily installs into the hitch receiver and has a 3/4" trailer ball hole (trailer ball not included). It can be mounted in the rise or drop position to promote level towing. Like all CURT custom hitches, this class 1 hitch is protected with our co-cured finishing process. It is descaled for a smooth surface, immersed in liquid A-coat for rust resistance inside and out, covered with a durable black powder coat and finally co-cured for an industry-leading rust, chip and UV-resistant shield. No matter where you're headed or which season of the year you?re towing in, this CURT hitch is equipped for long-lasting resilience to the elements. It features an open-back receiver for easy cleaning, and it comes with all the hardware necessary for the installation.

The manual specifies a gross load capacity of 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower. Check your vehicle's owner manual for the final towing limit.
The kit includes: 1 fishwire tool (1/2"), 6 square hole spacers (CM-SP3, 0.250 x 1.25 x 2.00"), 6 hex flange nuts (HFN 1213), and 6 carriage bolts (1/2-13 x 1 3/4").
Yes. The first installation step requires you to lower the vehicle exhaust system by detaching it from the exhaust hanger bracket on each side. The exhaust is raised back into position in step 8, after the hitch is installed.
Yes. Installation requires drilling two holes in the frame rails using a 9/16" drill bit. The hitch is used as a template to mark the center of the forward-most hole on each frame rail (step 4), then the holes are drilled (step 5) before the hitch is raised into final position.
All 1/2" fasteners must be torqued to 110 lb.-ft. This is applied in the final assembly step (step 9) after the hitch is raised into position.
1. Lower the exhaust system. 2. Fishwire two 1/4" blocks and 1/2" carriage bolts through the access hole on the inboard side of the frame rails and through the two existing rearward holes. 3. Raise the hitch and loosely install 1/2" nuts on the carriage bolts. 4. Use the hitch as a template to mark the center of the forward-most hole on the frame rails. 5. Lower the hitch and drill the marked holes with a 9/16" drill bit. 6. Fishwire a 1/4" block and 1/2" carriage bolt through the access hole and into the newly drilled hole. 7. Raise the hitch and install all fasteners. 8. Raise the exhaust system back into position. 9. Torque all 1/2" fasteners to 110 lb.-ft.
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.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Although the hitch is rated for 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight, your vehicle may have a lower limit. Always follow your vehicle manufacturer's specifications.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection helps maintain the integrity and safety of the installation.
The fishwire tool (1/2") is used to thread the carriage bolts and spacer blocks through the access holes on the inboard side of the frame rails. It is used in steps 2 and 6 to route fasteners through existing and newly drilled holes.
You will need a 9/16" drill bit, a wrench or socket to fit 1/2" fasteners, and a torque wrench capable of measuring 110 lb.-ft. The fishwire tool (1/2") is included in the kit. A jack or lift may be needed to lower and raise the exhaust system.
