Key features of CURT custom hitches:
Made in USA
Every CURT custom trailer hitch is proudly manufactured in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
Precision welding
We use a combination of robotic and manual welding processes for a precise fit.
Industry-best finish
CURT hitches are protected with the industry's most rust, chip and UV-resistant finish.
Safety testing
Each CURT hitch design undergoes industry-leading safety and performance testing.
Industry-leading finish
A trailer hitch takes a great deal of punishment, being mounted under your vehicle, particularly from water, road salt and debris. This ultimately leads to rust and reduced functionality of the hitch over time.
To address this problem, every CURT hitch undergoes an industry-leading co-cured finishing process to ensure maximum protection against rust, scratches and chipping. Our hitches travel a total distance of 2,300 feet over the span of four hours to apply this superior finish.

CURT hitch finishing process:
Descaled
Each hitch is mechanically and chemically descaled for a smooth, ready-to-finish surface.
Submersed
Our hitches are then submersed in liquid A-coat to cover all surfaces, inside and out.
Coated
The liquid A-coat is covered in an outer layer of highly durable black powder coat.
Co-cured
Finally, the two finishes are cured together to create industry-leading rust and chip protection.
Tested in-house for safety
With a dedicated engineering facility, located in the heart of the automotive industry, each CURT hitch is rigorously tested to SAE J684. This ensures the safety and reliability of each hitch design.
In-house testing also gives us the unique opportunity for advancing towing safety standards. We are continuously striving for higher standards through on-vehicle testing, innovative processes and advancements in technology.

Five hitch classes
CURT trailer hitches are divided into five classes to help distinguish their sizes, capabilities and vehicle applications. Each hitch is classified by its weight ratings and receiver tube size.
While hitch classes are helpful, it is important to remember that every hitch is made for vehicle-specific fitment. The best way to find a hitch for your vehicle is to look up the year, make, model and style, using our Select Your Vehicle tool.
Easy-to-clean receiver
One additional advantage of CURT hitches is their open-back receiver. All CURT custom receiver hitches have open ends on the front and rear of the receiver tube. This makes it easy to keep the hitch receiver clean, even if dirt and debris find their way inside.
The open-back receiver also provides more versatility when accepting a hitch accessory, allowing a shank of virtually any length to be inserted.
