Is 3500 lb Capacity Curt 13432 Hitch Sufficient for Launching 3000 lb Boat With 2019 Jeep Wrangler
Question:
I’m interested in this reciever. I haul a 16ft boat which weighs 3000pds total. Would it hold up pulling her up boat ramp? I know it’s good to 3500 but going up ramp makes it pull harder. If you don’t think it would can you please recommend one that would. Thanks

Expert Reply:
According to the folks at Curt, 3500 lb capacity of their # 13432 hitch would indeed be sufficient for launching and retrieving your 3000 lb boat at the boat ramp.
This being said, if you'll also be using the hitch as a mounting point for a bike rack, you'll probably want to go with the # C13392 which has a 3 inch longer receiver tube which will allow more clearance between the hitch mounted accessory and the rear of the Jeep. This hitch has the same capacity as the # 13432.
You'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # 118786.
