Question:

whats the system rating for this hitch?

Expert Reply:

I am not sure what you mean by system rating but the Curt trailer hitch # C11132 is rated for 200 pounds tongue weight and 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for its towing capacities. Always go by the lower rating. The hitch meets Regulation V-5 and SAE J684 regulations.

If you plan on towing with this hitch the correct ball mount to use is # C45520 with pin and clip # PC2. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. For trailer wiring you can use # C55532. I have included a link to a video that shows how the wiring installs.

If you will be using the hitch with a bike rack or cargo carrier then Curt specifies that you also have to use stabilization strap # 18050 for their warranty requirements. The strap reduces some of the stress on the trailer hitch.
