Safety and fitment
A hitch or accessory does not increase the vehicle manufacturer's towing capacity. The lowest-rated component in the vehicle, hitch, ball mount, hitch ball, wiring, trailer, tire, axle, or cargo system controls the usable limit.
Customer and installer must confirm the correct hitch class, receiver size, ball size, rise or drop, gross trailer weight, tongue weight, connector, and trailer-brake requirements. Structural modification, intensive hitch installation, suspension work, trailer axles, tires, wheel bearings, and hydraulic brake work may be declined or referred when outside verified capability or insurance coverage.
