WHAT MATTERS
The details behind a reliable answer
TowGauge separates vehicle identity, manufacturer ratings, vehicle-specific inputs and equipment guidance instead of treating them as one data source.
During installation
Use only the specified attachment points and hardware; protect wiring, brake lines and vehicle systems.
After installation
Torque fasteners as specified, inspect clearances and re-check according to the hitch manufacturer's maintenance instructions.
HOW IT WORKS
A clear path from question to answer
Verify fitment
Match the hitch to year, make, model and body/frame configuration.
Follow instructions
Use the manufacturer's sequence, hardware and torque values.
Inspect the complete setup
Confirm receiver, ball mount, ball, safety chains and wiring are appropriate before towing.
