Curt Manufacturing 13362 trailer accessory

Curt 13362 Class 3 trailer hitch

The Curt 13362 is a Class 3 trailer hitch with a 2-inch receiver opening. It is built for drivers who need a reliable connection point for towing trailers or mounting accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers. The black finish provides a clean look on a variety of vehicle types. This hitch suits daily towing tasks and recreational hauling.

Upgrading from Class 1 or Class 2 hitches

This hitch replaces lighter-duty Class 1 or Class 2 receivers that cannot handle heavier trailers or higher tongue weights. The jump is worth it when your trailer load exceeds the capacity of a smaller receiver or when you need the 2-inch opening for specific accessories. It provides the necessary strength for larger utility trailers, campers or boats. The Class 3 rating matches common towing requirements for trucks and SUVs.

Limits of the 2-inch receiver standard

The 2-inch receiver tube accepts standard accessories but does not fit 1-1/4 inch shanks without an adapter. Maximum gross trailer weight and tongue weight are determined by the vehicle manufacturer and the specific hitch installation, not by the receiver size alone. Exceeding the vehicle's rated capacity creates unsafe handling and potential component failure. Always verify the vehicle tow rating before loading the trailer.
