Curt Manufacturing 14080 Class IV Receiver Review

The receiver seems to be high quality in its construction.There were some weld splatters in a couple areas that got powder coated over, but that's not a big deal to me.What I wasn't impressed with was the fact that the factory Class III hitch I removed from the vehicle was attached with grade 10.9 hardware.The hardware that came with the hitch was all class 8.8.I'm sure it's probably fine, but I have a hard time putting a stronger receiver on my vehicle using weaker hardware.I e-mailed Curt Manufacturing and they gave me a line about how their testing showed that 10.9 hardware was brittle and they found the grade 8.8 hardware to be sufficient.It may be sufficient, but line the about 10.9 being brittle is simply not true.I ended up reusing some of the hardware and purchasing SAE grade 8 bolts for 4 of the mounting locations.It may be overkill, but I feel better about it.

Product Description:
All CURT hitches feature WeatherTite construction, which prevents rusting from the inside out by sealing the main body of the hitch. The receiver tube has an open back end to allow for easy cleaning and for dirt and moisture to pass through and not get trapped as is common with other brands of hitches. All CURT hitches come with mounting hardware and installation instructions. CURT is the only hitch company in the industry that mechanically de-scales all of our hitches before applying a thick powder coat finish, which is baked on for a high-gloss, smooth surface. CURT trailer hitches are simply the most attractive, most durable and toughest hitch on the market. You won't find better quality and value anywhere!
