The Curt 15901 has a gross load capacity of 15,000 lbs. trailer weight and 1,500 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 than these specifications.
The Curt 15901 is a universal weld-on receiver hitch. The manual does not specify which vehicle makes, models, years, cab styles, or frame types it is designed for. Contact Curt Manufacturing or your installer to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle.
Yes, welding is required. The side plates must be welded to the vehicle frame and main body to AWS welding standards. Professional welding is strongly recommended.
2–3 people are recommended for installation.
All metal surfaces must be cleaned to bare metal before welding. Specifically: (1) clean the vehicle frame surface in weld locations down to bare metal, (2) clean off powder coating on the side plates where they will be mounted to the frame and main body, and (3) clean powder coating off the main body where side plates will be welded. If metal surfaces are not completely bare, the weld will not achieve the required strength and may void the warranty.
Slide the side plates onto the main body and raise them into position to be welded. Secure and clamp the side plates to the frame in position, and center the main body between the side plates before welding.
Weld side plates to the frame and main body to AWS (American Welding Society) welding standards.
Yes, you may trim off any excess main body beyond the side plates as desired after welding.
The maximum drop is 3.125 inches. The main body has a maximum length of 43.88 inches and a minimum length of 18.00 inches. The side plates are 0.25 inches thick.
