What is the torque setting for the rear tow hitch 4 bolts?

[Shawnpalmer]

I will be mounting the towing receiver to my truck and would like to know the correct torque spec for the four bolts that mount it to the truck…

Hi @Shawnpalmer
I had the Rockinger tow hitch with VarioBloc interchangeable system fitted (see https://www.theineosforum.com/threads/towing-again.12411575/post-1333244079).
The manufacturer Rockinger specifies a torque of 66 Nm for the 4 M10 bolts.

Maybe that will help.

He's asking for the actual assembly bolted to the chassis... @Shawnpalmer I would give your dealer (assuming Regal) a shout, I'm sure they can pull up the torque specs. Or follow the generic German torque spec, Gutentight

Thank you @anand. Then I misunderstood. Sorry.

Not saying this is a stand in for official Ineos torque info but a ready reckoner as rule of thumb for various sizes/tensile bolts. Perhaps useful.

@Shawnpalmer - did you get the tourque specs on it? Also, any chance you have the bolt size/thread?

Torque spec is f###ng tight . I tried to take my hitch off using a three foot bar and socket and couldn’t budge it.

That's pronounced Gütentight, normal German torque spec... Roughly translates to 3 ugga-duggas in American air-impact

My Torque only goes up to 200 Foot Lbs so that's what I did mine to at the weekend. I felt like the terminator afterwards!

I asked my dealer, they said 184 ft/lbs
