Universal Weld-On Trailer Hitch, 2-1/2" Receiver (Up to 44" Frames, 9" Drop)

A CURT weld-on trailer hitch is a unique towing option for your vehicle. As the name suggests, a weld-on hitch is designed to be welded directly onto the frame, using its thick side plates. While the installation of a weld-on hitch is far different from that of CURT custom hitches, weld-on hitches offer a high weight carrying capacity and a reliable towing solution when installed properly. They also come in a three-piece design: a main body and two attachable side plates that allow the hitch to fit multiple vehicle frames.

Having a weight rating comparable to a class 5 trailer hitch, weld-on hitches work well on 1/2-ton, 3/4-ton and 1-ton pickup trucks, including service body vehicles, and they are excellent for towing a variety of heavy-duty trailers, such as toy haulers, dump trailers, logging trailers, gravity boxes and small yacht trailers (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component). This particular weld-on hitch features a gross trailer weight capacity of up to 20,000 lbs. and a 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" receiver tube opening. It comes with a scratch-resistant and rust-resistant black powder coat finish and requires no hardware for installation. It is able to fit a frame up to 44" wide (to achieve 20K-rating, plates need to be welded 42" wide or less).
