Features to know about

Built to Handle Serious Loads: Class V Strength for Heavy-Duty Towing

When you’re pulling serious weight, you need a hitch that won’t flinch. This Class V Curt trailer hitch receiver is rated for 20,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 2,700 lbs tongue weight. It’s also compatible with a weight distribution setup rated at 20,000 lbs WD GTW and 2,700 lbs WD TW. The strong, square-tube design and precision robotic welds deliver the strength and stability needed for hauling heavy equipment or large trailers.

Easy, No-Weld Install: Bolts Right to the Frame

You don’t need to break out a welder to mount this hitch. The custom-fit design bolts directly to the vehicle’s frame using the included hardware. It lines up for a clean install with no cutting or welding required. The large main body sits solid once mounted, giving you the confidence to load up and go without worrying about fitment issues.

Protected for the Long Haul: Durable Powder Coat and Rust-Resistant Layer

Towing in rough conditions can take a toll on metal, but this hitch is built to last. The black powder coat finish is layered over a rust-resistant base coat, creating a tough barrier against corrosion and wear. The open-back receiver makes it easier to clean out dirt and debris after towing through rain or mud, keeping it ready for the next trip.

Ready for Heavy-Duty Accessories: 2-1/2" Receiver Opening with Wide Safety Chain Openings

This 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" receiver accepts heavy-duty ball mounts and other towing gear without adapters. It’s designed for secure connections with large safety chain hooks thanks to its wide chain openings. Whether you’re using a standard setup or a weight distribution system like the Strait-Line Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control #RP66074 paired with the Curt Weight Distribution Shank #C17132, you’ll have a solid foundation for serious towing work.
