What materials and finishes protect the hitch from wear?

CURT builds the 13043 from high-strength steel and applies precision welding methods to deliver structural reliability. The hitch is finished with a co-cured liquid A-coat underlayer and a black powder coat top layer for improved resistance to rust, chips and UV exposure. These coatings help maintain appearance and performance in road salt and wet weather conditions.

• High-strength steel construction for long-term durability
• Precision welding for consistent structural integrity
• Co-cured A-coat plus black powder coat for corrosion protection

How is safety verified for trailering use?

Each Class III CURT hitch is tested to industry-standard SAE J684 procedures to confirm load capacity and safe performance under towing conditions. That testing, combined with vehicle-specific engineering, helps ensure predictable behavior on the road when installed correctly. Always follow the lowest-rated component rule — trailer, hitch, ball and vehicle ratings must all be observed.

• Tested to SAE J684 for trailer hitch safety compliance
• Engineered for predictable on-road performance when installed per instructions
• Follow vehicle and trailer ratings; never exceed the lowest-rated component
