The bolt size that comes with the Curt Hitch part # C13429 that you references is M10-1.25x35. That would be the size thread tap you would need.

Typically once a vehicle has seen a few winters the weld nuts on the vehicle frame get enough dirt and corrosion in them to require at least a thorough cleaning and sometimes retapping. I also attached an FAQ article on this for you to check out as well.
