Curt Class III Trailer Hitch

The CURT class 3 trailer hitch is the most common type of trailer hitch installed on full-size pickup trucks and SUVs. It is also popular on crossovers and mid-size trucks. That is because the class 3 packs the punch of a heavyweight hitch while still staying light on its feet. This CURT class 3 hitch has a gross trailer weight capacity of 5,000 lbs. and offers a comparable tongue weight capacity of 500 lbs. These hitches are engineered to be strong and capable. Class 3 trailer hitches are able to tow most standard size trailers, including utility trailer, boat trailers, campers, single-horse livestock trailers and trailers designed to haul ATVs, personal watercraft, snowmobiles and other similar recreational vehicles. This type of hitch uses a 2 in. x 2 in. receiver tube opening to accept a ball mount or towing accessory with an equivalent shank.
