Question:
What are the specific torque values for installing a trailer hitch on a 2017 Silverado 1500?
asked by: Sam W
Expert Reply:
The torque specs will be dependent on the trailer hitch itself not based on the vehicle. These torque specs should be outlined in the installation details for your specific hitch.
For instance, on your 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500, if you have the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class IV - 2" # 76016 then the installation details show that you will tighten all 1/2 – 13 Grade 5 Fasteners with Torque Wrench to 75 ft-lb (102 N-m) and Tighten all M14 CL 10.9 Fasteners with Torque Wrench to 148 ft-lb (201N-m).
