TRANSCRIPT
The gross trailer weight is the weight of the trailer and cargo. Measure this by putting the fully loaded trailer on a vehicle scale.
Boat + Trailer + Cooler + Fishing Gear = GTW
The object that connects the trailer hitch and the trailer.
Many factors determine the correct trailer ball: • Most important is the trailer ball's GTW rating • The mounting platform hole diameter must not be more than 1/16" larger than the threaded trailer ball shank
Before towing, check the nut and lock washer to make sure they are fastened securely.
Note: The mounting platform must be at least 3/8" thick.
See curtmfg.com for our complete trailer ball line.

The measure of the total weight a trailer hitch can safely pull without adding a weight distribution system. Never exceed the weight capacity ratings of the tow vehicle or the trailer hitch, whichever is lower.
Weight Carrying Capacity (WC)
The downward force that is exerted on the trailer ball by the coupler. The tongue weight will vary depending on where the load is positioned in relationship to the trailer axle(s). To measure the tongue weight, use either a commercial scale or a bathroom scale with the coupler at towing height.
Tongue Weight (TW)
The measure of the total weight a trailer hitch can safely pull with a weight distribution system installed. The use of a weight distribution hitch and sway control balances the weight of the cargo throughout the trailer, allowing for better steering, braking and level towing.

THe curT diFFerence
All CURT trailer hitches undergo stringent production, design and testing processes. Utilizing state-of-the-art equipment, our lasers and precision robotic welders ensure strength and superior fit.
Our trailer hitches are dipped in liquid Aquence® coating, covering the entire hitch, both inside and out, preventing rust and corrosion. Afterwards, a high-gloss or carbide powder coat is applied, which co-cures with the A-coat, offering superior rust, chip and UV protection.
