The manual does not specify which vehicle makes, models or model years are compatible with part number 70133. Contact CURT product support at 877-287-8634 or visit curtmfg.com to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle.
Installation requires removal of the factory tow loop bolts and the bumper air dam. The bumper air dam must be marked and trimmed as necessary for base plate clearance before reinstallation. No other permanent modifications are mentioned in the manual.
Required tools are: 8mm socket, 18mm socket, 7/16" socket, 15/16" socket, 7/16" wrench, 15/16" wrench, torque wrench, and utility knife.
The kit includes: two tow bar base plates (driver and passenger), two tow bar mounting tabs, two safety cables rated 7,500 lbs each, four flat washers (5/8"), four nylock nuts (5/8"-11, grade 5), two square hole spacers (3/8" x 1.25 x 2.50"), two carriage bolts (5/8"-11 x 1-3/4", grade 8), four hex head cap screws (5/8"-11 x 6-1/2", grade 5), two fishwires (5/8"), two serrated flange nuts (5/8"-11, grade 8), two caplugs (#dop-1375), and two quick links (1/2").
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual or contact CURT product support at 877-287-8634 for guidance.
The manual rates the installation difficulty as 'Easy' based on time and effort involved, though difficulty may vary depending on installer expertise, vehicle condition and proper tools. The manual does not explicitly require professional installation.
Step 1 is to remove the thirteen bolts from the bumper air dam using an 8mm socket. Remove three bolts on each end from above and the rest from below. Remove the air dam and set aside.
In Step 2, remove the four factory bolts and nuts from the fascia bracket using an 18mm socket. Do this on both sides of the vehicle. Remove the brackets and return them to the vehicle owner.
Fishwiring is a technique used in Step 3 to thread the 5/8" x 1-3/4" carriage bolt with the square hole spacer into the bottom frame hole through the end of the frame. This allows the bolt to be positioned correctly before the base plate is slid onto the frame. The manual lists fishwire (5/8") as an included component.
In Step 3, slide the base plates onto the bottom of the frame with the safety cable loop towards the center of the vehicle. Line up the holes with the holes in the frame. Loosely install the 5/8" flange nut on both sides of the vehicle.
Two 5/8" x 6-1/2" hex head cap screws are inserted into the holes on both sides of the vehicle to secure the base plate in place (Step 4). Two 5/8" nylock nuts and flat washers are then installed on each side (Step 5).
In Step 6, install the permanent safety cables and quick links by looping them around the vehicle frame and linking them to the tow bar base plates. There must be one cable on each side of the vehicle. Make sure the cables do not pinch or interfere with any hoses, wiring or other components. See the 'Installing the Permanent Base Plate Safety Cables' section for additional guidance.
Yes. In Step 7, hold the bumper air dam as close to the original position as possible and mark and trim as necessary for base plate clearance. Use a utility knife for trimming. After trimming, reinstall the bumper air dam in Step 8.
After installing the hex head cap screws and nylock nuts in Step 5, torque the long bolts to 128 lb-ft and the short bolts to 180 lb-ft. Use a torque wrench to ensure proper tightening.
Each of the two safety cables included with CURT 70133 is rated for 7,500 lbs.
Never exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Additionally, safety cables must be installed and must not pinch or interfere with hoses, wiring or other components. Base plate safety cables are not a replacement for safety chains connecting the tow vehicle to the towed vehicle.
Yes. The manual states that two cables must be installed, with one cable on each side of the vehicle. Each cable must meet or exceed the gross weight of the towed vehicle.
Periodic inspection of the product should be performed to ensure all hardware and components remain secure. Check the condition of all towing equipment, ensure all fasteners are tight, and verify that all structural components are sound. Do not tow with worn or damaged parts.
