Curt 13540 Class 3 Hitch
The Curt 13540 is a Class 3 trailer hitch with a two‑inch receiver tube designed for towing trailers and mounting hitch‑accessories. It suits owners of trucks, SUVs or crossovers that require a standard Class 3 mounting point.
Upgrading from Class 1 or 2
Replaces lighter‑duty Class 1 or Class 2 hitches when the vehicle needs a larger receiver opening and higher weight‑carrying capacity. The jump is worth it when the current hitch limits trailer choice or accessory fitment.
Capacity and headroom
Handles typical utility trailers, bike racks and cargo carriers that fit a two‑inch receiver and fall within Class 3 limits. Runs out when the load exceeds the Class 3 rating or when a weight‑distribution system is required for heavier trailers.
