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 Lincoln Nautilus (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility).
It provides a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 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.

Depending on the vehicle application, available options may include Class 3, Class 4 and heavy-duty receiver hitches with different gross trailer weight and tongue weight capacities.
A 2" x 2" receiver opening is one of the most common hitch sizes and works with a wide range of towing accessories, including ball mounts, bike racks, cargo carriers, hitch steps and tow hooks. When towing a trailer, you may also need a properly rated trailer ball, hitch pin, wiring harness, brake controller or weight distribution system.
CURT trailer hitches feature a durable black finish designed to help protect against rust, scratches and exposure to road conditions. Many models install using existing holes in the vehicle frame, although drilling, trimming or temporary removal of vehicle components may be required for certain applications.
Use our vehicle fitment tools to find the correct CURT 2" trailer hitch for your year, make and model. Always compare the hitch rating with your vehicle’s towing capacity and the ratings of every component in your towing setup. The maximum towing capacity is determined by the lowest-rated component.

The CURT Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2" Receiver, Select Lincoln Nautilus 13613 (Part #BKDK13613) fits 2024-2026 Lincoln Nautilus models. The 2026 model year is the last year covered by this part number. For newer models, check for an updated version.
The CURT Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2" Receiver, Select Lincoln Nautilus 13613 (Part #BKDK13613) Drilling is not required for installation. Typical installation time is 60-90 minutes. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The CURT 13613 has a gross trailer weight (GTW) capacity of 3,500 lbs and a tongue weight (TW) capacity of 350 lbs. Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
Required tools are: ratchet, tape measure, torque wrench, masking tape, 7mm socket, 10mm socket, 11/16" socket, reciprocating saw, tin snips, exhaust stand, exhaust isolator removal tool, and 7/16" fishwire (8 qty included). A 5/8" open end wrench and pry bar are also needed for rubber isolator removal if an exhaust hanger removal tool is not available. For a full tools reference guide, visit curtmfg.com/trailer-hitch-installation.
Yes. The kit includes 8 carriage bolts (7/16"-14 x 1-3/4"), 8 serrated-flange nuts (7/16"-14), 8 spacers (0.25" x 1.00" x 2.50"), and 8 fishwires (7/16").
Installation requires: partial removal and trimming of the underbody panel and heat shield; temporary lowering of the exhaust; trimming of the lower bumper cover (approximately 2" from the edge and 1-3/4" from center on each side, totaling 3-1/2" width); and removal of two metal tabs from the end of the frame rails using a reciprocating saw or angle grinder to make the flange straight. The heat shield is reinstalled after hitch mounting, and underbody panels are reinstalled either as-is or trimmed slightly (approximately 3-1/4" x 3/4") to fit around the hitch.
No drilling is required. The installation uses existing frame rail holes and access holes. However, a reciprocating saw or angle grinder is needed to remove two metal tabs from the frame rails and to trim the lower bumper cover.
Measure and mark 2" from the edge of the lower bumper cover and 1-3/4" from center on each side (3-1/2" total width) for trimming. Use a reciprocating saw to trim the marked area to allow clearance for the receiver hitch. The dimensions are approximate; adjust as required for your specific vehicle.
Yes. The exhaust must be temporarily lowered by unhooking three rubber isolators: two by the muffler and one towards the front of the vehicle. Be sure to support the exhaust when removing the isolators to prevent damage. The exhaust is raised back into position and the isolators are reattached after the hitch is mounted.
Two methods are available. If you have an exhaust hanger removal tool, use it to remove the isolators. Alternatively, use a 5/8" open end wrench and a pry bar: slide the wrench up to the rubber isolator, cradling the hanger rod, place the flat edge of the pry bar between the wrench and the hanger stop or rod, then rotate the pry bar toward the wrench to remove the isolator. Using a lubricant or soapy water on the hanger rod and rubber isolator helps removal.
Remove the two fabric underbody side panels by removing three screws from the lower edge with a 7mm socket and two washer nuts from the upper edge with a 10mm socket. Set the panels aside for reinstallation later. After hitch installation, reinstall them either as-is or trim them slightly (approximately 3-1/4" x 3/4") to fit around the hitch as needed.
Remove the rearmost exhaust heat shield by removing four screws located in the lower bumper cover flange with a 7mm socket and two washer nuts above the muffler with a 10mm socket. Set the heat shield aside for reinstallation later. After the hitch is mounted, reinstall the heat shield, slightly bending as needed to provide clearance for the hitch receiver.
Before trimming the lower bumper cover, pull the kick sensor wires up and away from the cutting area to prevent damage during the trimming process.
The fishwire technique guides fasteners through frame rails without losing them. Insert the coiled end of the fishwire tool through the hitch mounting hole in the vehicle frame rail and out the access hole. Pass the coiled end through a spacer and thread a carriage bolt into the coil. Kink the wire to keep the spacer separate from the bolt. Pull the fishwire, spacer, and bolt through the frame and out the mounting hole. Use the fishwire to guide the hitch during mounting and prevent loss of bolts or spacers inside the frame rail. Eight fishwires are included.
Raise the hitch into position with the exhaust hanger mount sliding into the notch in each side plate. Thread the four fishwires into the mounting holes. Remove the fishwires one by one and finger tighten the 7/16" serrated flange nuts to hold them in place.
Using tin snips, make two cuts in the center of the heat shield. Bend the area between the cuts further so it is bent back onto itself. This allows the heat shield to be reinstalled with clearance for the hitch receiver.
1. Fishwire two carriage bolts and spacers from the large access hole into the bottom round holes in the frame rail on each side, leaving all four fishwires attached. 2. Raise the hitch into position with the exhaust hanger mount sliding into the notch in each side plate. 3. Thread the four fishwires into the mounting holes and remove them one by one, finger tightening the 7/16" serrated flange nuts. 4. Fishwire the four remaining carriage bolts and spacers into the mounting holes on the side of the frame rail. 5. Remove the fishwires one by one and loosely install the remaining serrated flange nuts. 6. Torque all 7/16" fasteners to 49 ft-lbs.
Torque all 7/16" fasteners (carriage bolts and serrated-flange nuts) to 49 ft-lbs.
The hitch uses 8 carriage bolts, 7/16"-14 x 1-3/4". They are torqued to 49 ft-lbs.
The hitch uses 8 spacers with dimensions 0.25" x 1.00" x 2.50".
The hitch uses 8 serrated-flange nuts, 7/16"-14. They are torqued to 49 ft-lbs.
Periodic inspection of the trailer hitch should be performed to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight and structural components are secure.
Safety glasses should be worn at all times while installing this product. Support the exhaust when removing isolators to prevent damage. Pull kick sensor wires up and away from the cutting area before trimming the bumper cover to prevent damage. Never exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
The installation difficulty level is Moderate. Installation difficulty levels are based on time and effort involved and may vary depending on the installer's level of expertise, condition of the vehicle, and proper tools and equipment.
