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.
