I spoke with my contact at Curt about this and here was his response:
All of our hitches are tested to SAE J684 standards. Hitch # C14009 is not an OEM style hitch, thus it does not use the truck bumper for support. The OEM hitch uses the bumper to support the hitch. The hitch does not support the bumper.
