Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the BMW X1 (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 525 lbs. TW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.

The CURT 13303 is rated for a maximum of 3,500 lbs trailer weight and 525 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower.
The CURT 13303 weighs 80 lbs.
Required tools are: ratchet, torque wrench, 8mm socket, 3/4" socket, socket extension, power drill, 5/16" and 9/16" drill bits, safety glasses, die grinder, paint marker, and pry bar.
The kit includes: 5 bolts (1/2-13 UNC, 1-1/4", Grade 8, part 10-10278); 5 serrated flange nuts (1/2-13 UNC, Grade 8, part 20-00062); 5 square hole spacers 0.250 x 1.00 x 2.00" (part CM-SP12); and 5 pieces of 1/2" fishwire (part 1_2 FISHWIRE).
Two people may be required to ease installation. The manual recommends reading all instructions thoroughly before beginning and using proper tools to improve installation quality and reduce time.
Professional installation takes approximately 33 minutes. Novice (DIY) installation takes approximately 80 minutes.
Yes, drilling is required. You must drill 5 holes: first using a 5/16" drill bit, then enlarging them with a 9/16" drill bit. Additionally, a die grinder is required to enlarge the 2 forward-most holes on each frame rail.
Yes. You must lower the exhaust by removing the 2 rearmost rubber exhaust isolators from the frame-mounted hangers. Be sure to support the exhaust during installation to prevent damage. The exhaust is reinstalled after the hitch is secured.
Yes. Temporarily remove the lower fascia by removing 2 push clips (1 on each side) using a pry tool, then remove 12 hex head screws along the bottom fascia using an 8mm socket. Gently unclip the fascia and set it aside for reinstallation after the hitch is installed.
The fishwire technique is used to route 1/2" carriage bolts and CM-SP12 spacers through enlarged forward-most holes into the rear-most holes of the frame rail. On the driver side, fishwire 2 carriage bolts and 2 spacers; on the passenger side, fishwire 1 carriage bolt and 1 spacer. Detailed diagrams are provided in the manual.
The reverse fishwire technique is used after the standard fishwire step to route additional 1/2" carriage bolts and CM-SP12 spacers into the frame from the opposite direction. This uses the same enlarged forward-most holes. Detailed diagrams are provided in the manual.
All fasteners must be torqued to 110 ft-lbs. This is done after the hitch is raised into position, the fishwires are removed, and all 5 flange nuts are loosely fastened.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product. Support the exhaust during installation to prevent damage. Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning. If you are hesitant to undertake this task, contact an authorized CURT installer for assistance.
All non-trailer (wheel-less) loads applied to this hitch must be supported by CURT 18050 stabilizing straps. See the CURT catalog or visit www.curtmfg.com for further information.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection helps maintain the integrity and safety of the installation.
