Now I do want to mention, you always want to double check with your vehicle's owners manual to make sure that your car can handle that amount of weight. Now the manufacturer does recommend that you use a stabilization strap on any non-trailer loads, such as a bike-rack or cargo carrier, and you can pick one of those up on our website using part number 18050.

Now to get our hitch installed, we're only going to need a few tools. We'll need a 17mm wrench, a ratchet, and a 17mm socket, and finally our torque wrench to torque all our bolts down. Now that we've gone over a little bit of the features and what we need to get it installed, let's show you how we got it done. The first step of our installation is we're going to come to the back of our vehicle and we're going to come underneath so we can see the frame and we're going to be checking the connection points. Now we're going to have a weld nut on the bottom of our frame here at the end, one on each side, and then on the side of our frame, we're going to have another weld nut directly next to the one on the bottom. more
