I am installing a curt package on my 2011 jeep compass. I have looked all around and have not found the actual torque specification. I know there is a torque so if you can let me know what it t that would be great

Expert Reply:

Because the torque specs recommended by the manufacturer can change over time, we don't publish them on the website. However, if you go to the last page (out of 6 pages total) of the linked installation instructions, under the heading 'INSTALLATION STEPS', you can see that step 8 mentions the torque specs for the Curt # C13081 Class III hitch.

If you'll be using the hitch for towing purposes, you'll need a few additional items to complete your towing system:

Trailer wiring harness with 4 pole trailer connector, part # 118539
Ball mount, part # 2753
1-7/8 inch trailer ball # 19260 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball

If you click the provided links, you can see an install video for the hitch and the trailer wiring.
