The CURT 15921 is a 44-inch hitch center section designed to be welded to vehicle-specific side plates and the vehicle frame to create a complete trailer hitch assembly. It is rated to carry a gross trailer weight (GTW) of up to 16,000 lbs. and a tongue weight (TW) of 1,600 lbs. when installed with side plates mounted at a width of 42 inches or narrower and a drop of 9 inches or less.
Yes. The CURT 15921 hitch center section does not include side plates. You must purchase vehicle-specific side plates separately and mount them to both the vehicle frame and the hitch center section during installation.
The CURT 15921 is rated for a gross trailer weight (GTW) of 16,000 lbs. and a tongue weight (TW) of 1,600 lbs., provided the side plates are mounted at a width of 42 inches or narrower and a drop of 9 inches or less. Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.

It is recommended to have two or three people during the installation of the CURT 15921.
Safety glasses should be worn at all times while installing the CURT 15921.
All metal surfaces must be cleaned down to bare metal at each weld location. This includes cleaning the vehicle frame surface and removing all powder coat from the side plates and hitch center section where they will be welded together. If metal surfaces are not completely bare, the weld will not be the required strength and may void the warranty.
1. Determine where the side plates will be mounted to the vehicle frame and clean all surfaces down to bare metal. 2. Slide the side plates onto the hitch center section and raise it into position. Secure or clamp the side plates into position on the frame and center the hitch center section between the side plates. 3. Weld the side plates to the vehicle frame and the hitch center section to AWS welding standards. Trim off any excess center section beyond the side plates as needed.
When you slide the side plates onto the hitch center section and raise it into position, you must ensure the hitch center section is positioned equally between the two side plates before clamping and welding. This ensures proper alignment and load distribution.
Trimming may be required. After welding the side plates to the vehicle frame and hitch center section, you should trim off any excess center section that extends beyond the side plates as needed.
The CURT 15921 hitch center section is 44 inches long. The maximum width when installed with side plates is 42 inches, and the minimum width is 18 inches.
Periodic inspection of the trailer hitch should be performed to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight and structural components are secure.
No. Never exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, even though the CURT 15921 is rated for 16,000 lbs. GTW. Your vehicle's frame, suspension, brakes and engine may have lower limits than the hitch capacity.
No. Side plates are not included and must be purchased separately. They are vehicle-specific and must be welded to both the vehicle frame and the hitch center section.
All metal surfaces must be cleaned to bare metal at weld locations, including the vehicle frame and all powder coat removed from side plates and the hitch center section. Failure to do so will weaken the weld and may void the warranty.
The CURT 15921 is rated for 16,000 lbs. gross trailer weight and 1,600 lbs. tongue weight when side plates are mounted at 42 inches or narrower width and 9 inches or less drop. Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's towing capacity.
