CURT engineers this hitch to match factory mounting points and maintain ground clearance while delivering the carrying and tongue weight capacities commonly required for small campers, boat trailers, utility trailers and more. Finished in a durable dual-coat for corrosion resistance, the 13493 balances strength, fit and long-term protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much weight can this hitch safely carry?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CURT 13493 has a gross trailer weight (GTW) rating of 3,500 lb and a maximum tongue weight (TW) of 350 lb when used without a weight distribution system. If you install an appropriate weight distribution hitch rated for your trailer, the hitch accepts up to 4,000 lb WD and 400 lb WDTW.
