Curt Manufacturing 13051 Class III Receiver Review

Curt Manufacturing 13051 Class III ReceiverFirst off, the build quality seems top notch.The welds are clean and it appears to be very rugged.My review below is for the fitment, and I gave it a low rating because it does not fit right over skid plates and the instructions specifically state it will.

I bought this for my Grand Cherokee thinking it was going to be an easy install.I have skid plates, and according to Curt, this is no problem since you simply do not use the provided spacers for the furthest rearward hole.I spent 3 hours trying to get this thing to seat correctly on both sides.I finally gave in and went to my friendly mechanic which required myself and 2 mechanics to get it to fit right.It sits too snug over the skid plate and it is impossible not to scratch both it and the hitch considerably during installation.Bottom Line is Curt should make a model for skid plates and without.

Additionally, the bolts included were the wrong pitch AND one arrived broken so it cost me another $9 in hardware.

I wrote to Curt also, and I was told they would have engineering look into 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!
