Where to Find Torque Specifications for Installing a Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch on a 2004 Suzuki XL-7
Question:
How much torque are you to use when tightening the bolts to attach the tow bar to the frame? I saw a video showing how to install and they said to use a torque wrench but didnt say how much to use.

The torque specifications for the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 41537, can be found in the installation instructions which I have linked for you. They are directly below the second step in the instructions. We do not list the torque specs or state what they are in videos because the manufacturer of the hitch could change them. But we always keep the newest version of the instructions so they are up to date.
If you plan on doing some towing, I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit, # 989900, which comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls,, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag. For trailer wiring, use # C55372. I have included a link to the instructions for the wiring.
