Finding Torque Figures for Installing Curt Hitch 2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid

Question:

Good afternoon and Merry Christmas, I just received the Curt 120913 class 2 trailer hitch and could not find the torque specifications to fasten the bolts. From what I have been reading torque specifications are determined by the car manufacturer. I am the owner of a 2018 Ford Fusion hybrid. Any advice as to where I could find this information would be greatly appreciated.

The If you check out step 5 of the install instructions link I attached for the Curt hitch # C12091 you'll see the torque figure. Right now the torque spec is 110 foot lbs (as of December 2019). Since our hitch manufacturers have told us this figure is subject to change at any time we don't go out of our way to post it on our site. Since our instructions link directly to the manufacturer's site they are always up to date in case of a change. So I would recommend you double check the instructions link to verify what the up to date figure is.

I attached a detailed install video link to this page for you to check out as well.
