However you define adventure -- whether it's climbing onto the back of a mountain bike, hunting from the top of a tree stand or camping with the family a long way from nowhere -- CURT class 1 hitches provide a light-duty towing receiver to help you Bring It. Each is made to fit a specific vehicle, providing easier installation, a better fit and optimal towing capacity. Custom class 1 trailer hitches are available for a variety of smaller vehicle types, including the compact car, crossover, minivan and small SUV. This particular class 1 hitch is designed to be a custom hitch for certain years of the Ford Mustang (to verify vehicle compatibility, see the CURT application guide at curtmfg.com). Tested in accordance with SAE J684, it offers a weight carrying capacity of 2,000 lbs. GTW and 200 lbs. TW. It is equipped with 1-1/4" receiver tube opening to accept a ball mount shank or other hitch mount. This class 1 hitch also comes with all necessary mounting hardware. With its lightweight design and smaller receiver tube size, a class 1 hitch is especially useful for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted bike rack or cargo carrier. They can also typically be used to tow small trailers such as a utility trailer, kayak trailer or teardrop camper (never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component; i.e. the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc). Though CURT class 1 trailer hitches are only intended for light-duty towing, we apply the same principles of quality as we do to the rest of our rear mount hitches. Each class 1 hitch is made with hands-on engineering, high-strength steel and precise welding. We use a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat, inside and out, and durable black powder coat to provide a lasting defense against rust, chips and UV rays.

The manual lists 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 Curt 11312 is designed for use with ballmount #55001 or #45501. These are the compatible ballmounts for this hitch.
The kit includes: 1× 7/16-14 UNC carriage bolt (1-1/2"), 4× .188 × 1.50 × 2.00" round hole spacers, 1× .250 × .88 × 2.25" square hole spacer, 5× 7/16-14 UNC serrated flange nuts, 4× 7/16-14 × 5 hex bolts, and 1× 7/16" fishwire.
No. The manual states "NO DRILLING REQUIRED" for this installation. The hitch uses existing holes in the frame and an access hole in the driver side frame rail.
You must remove the 2 rear exhaust hangers for ease of installation. These hangers are reused and reinstalled after the hitch is secured. The exhaust itself does not need to be removed.
1. Remove the 2 rear exhaust hangers. 2. Raise the hitch into position and secure with 7/16" carriage bolts, spacers, and flange nuts. 3. Fishwire the 7/16" carriage bolt and spacer through the driver side frame rail access hole, out the existing hole, and through the hitch mount; secure with a flange nut. 4. Torque all 7/16" fasteners to 59 lb-ft. 5. Reinstall the exhaust hangers.
All 7/16" fasteners must be torqued to 59 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. The manual does not specify a separate capacity for non-trailer loads; use only for trailer towing or ensure proper auxiliary support.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify a particular interval; regular visual inspection before towing is recommended.
