Rear Mount Trailer HitchesAt CURT, our motto has always been ‘the only constant is change’, but something we will never change is our commitment to staying ahead. CURT is blazing the trail in the towing industry by constantly developing new products and new ways to improve our products. From the conception of a fresh idea in the minds of our engineers to the first time one of our hitches is set up to tow, CURT goes above and beyond in quality, care and innovation.
If there is one thing we do best here at CURT, it is the rear mount trailer hitch. Our rear mount hitches are the pride of our product line, and we invest greatly to ensure that you are receiving a product you can depend on and be proud to own. The secret behind the strength and finesse of CURT trailer hitches is in our custom-fit approach. 
RV Trailer Hitches
A CURT RV hitch is a trailer hitch that is designed to mount onto the back of a recreational vehicle to add extra cargo space or to allow a car to be flat-towed. These hitches are manufactured using CURT’s quality processes of robotic welding, thorough cleaning and precise finishing. Both our RV trailer hitches and RV bumper hitches are coated with a liquid Bonderite® coating followed by a high-gloss black powder coat for lasing resistance against wear and corrosion, and both offer a 2″ x 2″ receiver tube opening.
CURT RV hitches are designed to fit a variety of RV styles. With two types to choose from — an adjustable 3-piece frame-mounted style and a bumper-mounted style — these hitches are a perfect fit for most RVs. The adjustable hitch design offers 5,000 lbs. of gross trailer weight capacity and 500 lbs. of tongue weight. It can also be used with a weight distribution hitch to bring the capacities up to 6,000 lbs. of GTW and 600 lbs. of TW. RV bumper hitches, on the other hand, allow up to 3,500 lbs. of GTW and have a tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs. CURT RV hitches are excellent for towing a bike rack or cargo carrier behind your RV, increasing your overall cargo space. A CURT RV hitch is also great for towing recreational vehicle trailers to bring those ATVs, personal watercraft, dirt bikes or whatever toys you like to have along for the ride. Having a small car with you on your trip cross-country can be very convenient, especially for making quick runs to the grocery store or gas station. CURT RV hitches allow for the use of a tow dolly or tow bars to pull an extra vehicle dingy-style behind your RV. CURT RV hitches are not just another accessory for your camper; they are a product of smart engineering and quality construction to help you achieve that ultimate RV experience every time you hit the road. 
5th Wheel Hitches - 16k, 20k 25k, & 24kWhether you are towing your RV to the family campground or hauling machinery cross-country on your flatbed, 5th wheel trailers are built with a bigger lifestyle in mind. There is something deeply satisfying about hitching up your pickup and heading for the horizon with the rumble of the engine beneath you and the power of a fifth wheel trailer behind. But with greater power comes a greater need for heavy-duty equipment that can handle the job.
A 5th wheel trailer hitch is designed to mount into a pickup truck bed and receive a kingpin from a 5th wheel trailer. Much like the design of a semi truck, a 5th wheel hitch features a large, generally flat coupler head that latches onto the kingpin using a set of locking jaws. Being mounted in the back of a pickup, between the axles, this type of hitch can handle much more weight than a standard trailer hitch, up to 24,000 lbs. 5th wheel hitches also provide a wider turn radius and overall smoother ride. Though a 5th wheel takes up more room in the truck bed when installed, it mounts to the vehicle using a set of brackets and rails that allow the main 5th wheel assembly to be removed whenever necessary, without much effort. |
Front Mount Hitches
CURT front mount trailer hitches allow you to use the front end of your vehicle for various towing applications. They can be used for mounting a winch, snow plow or other accessories. When space is limited, a front mount hitch is commonly used to hold a cargo carrier, freeing up space inside the vehicle for extra cargo and making the rear mount receiver available to pull a trailer. At the boat ramp, your boat trailer can be hitched up to the front mount receiver, giving you better control over the trailer as you launch. Some of the other accessories that can be used with a front mount hitch are the step pad, license plate holder, spare tire mount and the CURT skid shield.
A front mount hitch bolts onto the underside of the vehicle frame just like a rear mount hitch; only, it is placed in the front of the vehicle, providing a useful receiver tube to accept a 2″ x 2″ shank. CURT front mount hitches come in towing capacities of up to 3,000, 3,500 and 5,000 lbs. and can tow up to 9,000 lbs. for a straight line pull. They are specifically designed to mount on trucks, vans and SUVs. In general, sedans, coupes and other cars do not allow adequate viewing space for safe driving if a front mount accessory were to be attached. CURT front mount hitches are crafted with robotically welded steel and undergo the same testing, cleaning and finishing processes that our rear mount hitches undergo. They are co-cured with a liquid Bonderite® coating and a powder coating of high-gloss black for rust, chip and UV resistance. At CURT, we do not see our front mount hitches as a backburner item to our rear mount hitches. We back them up with the same one-year finish warranty and limited lifetime warranty to give you peace of mind on and off the road. 
Bumper Mount Hitches
A CURT bumper hitch mounts onto your vehicle’s bumper, rather than the frame, and provides a receiver tube for a ball mount, cargo carrier, bike rack or other hitch-mounted accessory. Unlike a bumper mount, which is simply a hole in the vehicle’s bumper for installing a trailer ball, a bumper hitch allows for adjustment and flexibility in towing application. CURT receiver-style bumper mount hitches accept a 2” x 2” ball mount shank and can tow up to 5,000 lbs. of gross trailer weight and 500 lbs. of tongue weight. With a weight distribution system installed, a bumper hitch receiver can tow up to 6,000 lbs. This makes the bumper hitch a great choice for hauling many types of trailers, including boat trailers, utility trailers, pop-up camper, livestock trailers and more. It should be noted, however, that the weight carrying capacity is always dependent on the bumper’s weight capacity rating.
CURT bumper mount hitches come with a gloss black powder coat finish and provide a simple towing solution. They easily bolt onto the bottom of a step bumper on a pickup truck or SUV and offer a lower hitch point to provide level trailer towing. Each model comes complete with mounting |
Multi-Fit Trailer Hitches
CURT is your go-to source for trailer hitches no matter what you drive. Our custom-fit hitches are the ideal towing solution for your car, truck, van or SUV, complementing your vehicle’s design and installing with ease. Though we produce over 1,000 different trailer hitches, our line of custom hitches is always growing.
When a custom hitch is not available for your vehicle, CURT offers the multi-fit hitch. Designed to be the ultimate in versatility, CURT multi-fit hitches fit 11 different domestic and foreign vehicle manufacturers, including Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Jeep, Nissan, Toyota and more. The multi-fit hitch is a universally designed alternative to our custom hitches. It provides a more affordable option and flexibility in installation. Very simply, a multi-fit trailer hitch works by using a sliding frame to allow the width of the hitch to be adjusted to the specific frame of your vehicle. In general, multi-fit hitches are used on mid-size and full-size pickup trucks and SUVs, but they are also accommodating to several full-size vans and minivans. Mounting hardware and instructions are included with all CURT multi-fit hitches, and there is typically little or no drilling required during installation. The hitch frame mounts directly onto the frame of your vehicle using a few basic tools. 
Weld-On Trailer Hitches
A CURT weld-on trailer hitch is a unique towing option for your vehicle. As the name suggests, a weld-on hitch is designed to be welded directly onto the frame of a vehicle, using thick side plates. While the installation of a weld-on hitch is far different from and somewhat more tedious than other CURT hitches, weld-on hitches offer a high towing capacity at 12,000 or 15,000 lbs., depending on the model. Weld-on hitches come with a square frame for increased strength and have a 2” x 2” receiver tube opening to accept a ball mount shank or other towing accessory. They are strong and virtually universal in design. Weld-on trailer hitches come with a scratch-resistant and rust-resistant black carbide powder coat and require no hardware for installation.
Weld-on hitches are strong and built to last. They are excellent for towing heavy trailers, from large boat trailers and campers to double-axle utility trailers and livestock trailer. Always be sure to check your vehicle’s towing capacity rating before hauling any load. 
Gooseneck Hitches
A gooseneck hitch is designed to handle the heavy tow load that accompanies a gooseneck trailer. Trailers of this sort typically come in the form of an RV or livestock trailer but can also include other large trailers such as flatbeds. Like a 5th wheel hitch, a gooseneck hitch mounts into the bed of a pickup truck using a special installation kit or set of brackets. In addition to their high towing capacity, gooseneck hitches are appreciated for their tighter turn radius capabilities and subtle presence in the truck bed.
Quality craftsmanship and intelligent design come together to form the CURT gooseneck hitch line. This line of products is spearheaded by our Double Lock EZr Under-Bed Gooseneck Hitch. The EZr offers optimum strength with a fortified center section, one-person installation and a flip-over trailer ball that keeps your truck bed free of obstructions. It also has a sturdy handle that can be positioned on either side of the truck and double-locking pins that help ensure secure towing. One other feature of the Double Lock EZr and similar gooseneck models is our exclusive Center Locator. Gone are the days of repeated measuring and misaligned holes; the CURT Center Locator simply pops into the trailer ball hole of the hitch and provides an exact marker for where to drill on the under-bed. |
