Does Curt Still Require Using Stabilizing Straps with Their Trailer Hitches
Published 08/27/2019
Question:
Is the Curt Stabilizing strap only recommended on Curt hitches or do you recommend them on factory/dealer installed hitches as well? I have not seen this recommended with other hitches. I guess what Im asking is a Curt hitch as strong as a dealer installed hitch on a Subaru Outback? Thanks.

Actually Curt no longer requires the use of the stabilizer straps like the # 18050 with non-supported loads like bike racks with their hitches so it's not something you'd have to worry about!
