Does the Capacity for the Curt Hitch # 13703 Stay the Same if Welded or Bolted On  

Question:

if hitch is bolted onto frame does it have the same carrying and towing capacity as if it were welded to frame

0

Expert Reply:

Yes, regardless of whether you welded or bolted on the Curt Hitch part # 13703 the capacities would be the same. GTW up to 3,500 lbs and TW up to 350 lbs.

The capacity for a hitch has more to do with the construction and strength of the hitch design and where it attaches to the vehicle/trailer than it does to it's attachment style. The hitch would break or would rip off of the vehicle before the attachment points would fail in most cases.
