Overview
Setting up a level tow starts with the spring bars, and this CURT hitch uses forged round bars installed from under the head. A built-in grease zerk lets you lubricate the bar mounts, and the shank slots into a standard receiver.
Campers towing a trailer who want a lubricated, adjustable weight distribution setup get a heavy-duty formed head and a ball already torqued. The limit is the rating window: it only suits tongue weights in the stated range.
Who it's for
Towers with a trailer inside the rated tongue weight window who want grease points on the bars and sway control included. Anyone far outside that window should step up or down a rating.
Pros and cons
- Forged steel spring bars
- Grease zerk eases bar lubrication
- Ball arrives pre-torqued
- Powder coated finish
- Narrow tongue weight window
- Very heavy to carry
- Sway control hardware not itemized
Performance notes
The spring bars lever the trailer tongue weight forward and back across the tow vehicle axles, which levels the rig and restores steering load. Lubricating the bar mounts reduces squeak and wear at the head. Real towing capacity is limited by the lowest-rated component in the tow vehicle and trailer.
