The CURT 15572 Xtra Duty Class 5 Trailer Hitch is engineered for full-size pickup trucks that demand superior towing capacity. Designed specifically for select Dodge and Ram 1500 models, this hitch goes beyond standard Class 4 performance, providing a robust solution for heavy-duty hauling needs.

Product Description

When standard towing capacity isn't enough, the CURT Xtra Duty Class 5 hitch provides the muscle required for the hard road.

To ensure long-term durability, each unit undergoes a rigorous multi-stage cleaning and welding process, followed by an immersion in a liquid A-coat and a high-quality black carbide powder coat finish for resistance against corrosion, chipping, and UV damage.
