CURT 80136 Vinyl-Coated Trailer Safety Cables

Whether you’re heading down the street or planning a longer haul, towing safety starts with reliable hardware. CURT 80136 safety cables are designed to pair with standard hitch setups, providing a dependable option that adds a layer of protection should a connection loosen or separate. The vinyl coating protects against moisture and wear, helps reduce road noise, and makes handling smoother from hookup to unhook. These cables measure 43-7/8 inches and come with two pre-attached safety chain hooks and spring-loaded 3/8-inch snap hooks, so you can secure your trailer quickly and confidently. The coating also helps resist rust, which is beneficial when you tow in variable weather. With a 1/4-inch high-strength steel core, these cables balance strength with flexibility for easy routing on most trailers.

Key advantages

• DEPENDABLE SAFETY: designed to help resist trailer separation in the event of a hitch disconnect.
• EASY TO HANDLE: vinyl coating protects against the elements and offers a comfortable grip during hookup.
• SUPERIOR DURABILITY: 1/4-inch high-strength steel cable with protective coating resists rust and corrosion.
• HIGH STRENGTH: minimum break force of 3,500 lbs; plan for paired cables as needed for heavier loads.
• READY TO COUPLE: 43-7/8-inch length with two pre-attached hooks and spring-loaded 3/8-inch snap hooks.

Real-world towing scenarios help illustrate how CURT 80136 can fit into a routine. You might encounter driveways with uneven pavement, parking lots with tight turns, or highway merge points where a secure connection matters. The vinyl coat minimizes surface wear and reduces noise around the hitch area, while the included hooks stay engaged over bumps, contributing to a smoother, more predictable connection. These cables are designed to complement standard safety gear and can be a practical addition to your trailer setup for many common trailer configurations.

Usage ideas

• Pair these cables with existing safety equipment for a complete towing solution.
• Inspect coating, hooks, and hooks for wear before each trip to ensure readiness.
• Store cables neatly after use to prevent tangling and minimize wear over time.

Note: This product is intended to enhance towing safety alongside your standard equipment and should be used in accordance with local regulations and hitch manufacturer recommendations.
