Curt hitches are made in Eau Claire, WI (pronounced OH CLAIR!) ![]() Good quality/ fitment. There is a hitch sales place in Green Bay that ships and is very reasonable. Unfortunately. I can't think of the name right now. |

I just put a curt in my 06. If you have an older model, no skid shield, and live in a salt environment, get a tap to clean out the threads on the chassis. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2 |

I notice that Curts are not rated for weight distribution. Anyone using a Curt with Weight Distribution? I am worried and may change my hitch to a draw-tite. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2 |

OEM, HiddenHitch, sit behind the bumper and you can only see the receiver. UHaul comes out lower and can see some of the tubing. This is a UHaul Hitch. ![]() ![]() |

The receiver bar that comes standard on the tow package supports weight distribution doesn't it? Jim |

Is that an LED pack built into your bumper? Is it switched or wired into reverse with the ones straddling the hitch? That's an awesome idea, I HATE backing around at night not able to see. |

Jim I could not find a label on the factory installed receiver hitch stating so, or any other labels for that matter, but the owners manual strongly recommends a weight distributing hitch at after a certain gross trailer weight. So I took that as a yes and have been using one just fine. |
