The capacities for the Curt Hitch part # C11457 are how much the hitch itself can tow/carry. These capacities are separate from the capacities of the vehicle although they are related.

What you would need to do is determine the towing capacities of the vehicle and then go with the lower rated figures between the hitch and the vehicle.

Actually the hitch has a 2,000 lb total trailer weight capacity and 200 lb tongue weight capacity. From our research it looks to be 100 lbs tongue weight and 1,000 lbs total trailer weight on your vehicle.
