This site has detailed, up to date installation instructions for hundreds of CURT trailer hitch part numbers, including receiver hitches, 5th wheel and gooseneck hitches. If you know the part number for your hitch, enter it on the search page. If your part number is not listed then your hitch is most likely NOT a CURT hitch. Call your hitch dealer and ask for the latest installation instructions for your vehicle. For general installation information, read the Top Ten Hitch Installation Tips.
