curt is Chinese and assembled in the states. They don't use a higher grade as bolts as on b&w.
Curt uses 10.9. which is 130,500 # tensile strength vs. Grade 8 = 150,000 #. At those strengths does the difference matter? Just asking.
When it comes to Chinese Made VS US Made I would NOT bet my life on it!
Look at my previous pics. B&W has 4 bolts each side to hold the head and Curt has two bolts each side.
Not trying to argue and I believe many hitches are superior to the Curt BUT IMO, the Curt is more than adequate for most peoples need. If you are saying that using a Curt is putting ones life at risk is overreach.
