Overview

A cast yoke lets this CURT head move freely, and poly-torsion inserts suppress shock loads and noise. A one-pin system speeds removal and installation, and the head mounts to legs, a roller or an OEM puck setup.

Owners who want a quieter pull and a hitch that comes out quickly get both in the head. The base hardware is a separate buy, and the listing gives no weight or dimension figures.

Who it's for

Owners with legs, a roller or OEM pucks who want a high-capacity head. Complete-kit shoppers need to add the mounting parts.
