Used to to wire in my FourWheel Hawk camper on my new 2024 Chevrolet 2500hd, very easy to use and eliminates running wire from camper to truck battery. Since I converted my 12 volt batteries in camper to lithium, I do not tie them into truck battery.

The wiring harness was super easy to install. The instructions are easy to understand. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to add a 7-Pole trailer connection to the inside of their bed.

2022 GMC Sierra 2500

Great Product!! Dealer wanted $200 to $300....Watched the accompanying video, and Installation was pretty straight forward on My 2022 GMC 2500HD. The only pain was getting at the Factory connection clip on the original plug... I chock that up to being my own fault for not dropping the spare tire down for ease of access...



by:

Ordered this for a 2024 Silverado 2500HD even though it wasnt certain that it would be compatible. Once i figured the connections out the actual install took maybe 15 minutes! Ill add i coated all the connection pins with dielectric grease before reconnection. Worked perfectly.



by:

I liked this kit. It looks and feels like high quality. Installation was easy and it took very little time to get clean results. Etrailer was great to work with. I talked with Kim on the phone due to some questions that I had after I received my order. The call was professional and helpful. I would order from etrailer again.

2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

I was mad when I saw this, paid $200 to have installed in my previous truck’s bed. When I watched the video and saw it was plug and play I ordered and installed my self in less than 30 minutes. Shipping took a week but I won’t need it until the 3rd week of August when I head out with the fifth wheel. Product came as advertised with every thing needed to install. It looks factory (see pic). I am very happy with how it came out and the installation video was excellent.

Exactly what needed and ordered. Fast shipping. Thank you!

Arrived the next day and I only selected basic shipping. This is the only company that seems to have what they sell in stock and ships quickly. Also if you have a problem they bend over backwards to make it right.

Excellent product.

It was simple to install and worked great for a 12k mile summer trip.



by:

This was probably one of the fastest items to install on everything I have added to my 21 GMC Sierra 2500HD, Denali Duramax. The right angle plugs make it simply slip in, plug and play.

2023 GMC Sierra 3500

Worked with Neil on a GMC 2024. U known if adaptable with new GMC. Built my confidence as we spoke. Anyway, it did fit and works great with camper and boat. Made my own face plate to use the dummy hole on the driver's side. Extended my RV cord to fit. No holes drilled in bed. Would of worked better with the GMC factory fit plug but not the case. Excellent. It does work with the 2024 GMC.



by:

Was perfect for what I needed.



by:
2021 GMC Sierra 2500

I love the setup but I have a concern that the connection in the bed once installed has a slight right angle into a sharp bed seam. It is at the spot right at the connector with no cable armor. I am concerned this will wear and cause a short down the line.

  • Best 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with a 6-1/2' Bed
    The 5th wheel hitch I recommend for your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with 6-1/2' bed is the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R20 Slider # C16541. This hitch uses the R20 slider which is needed for proper turning clearance in your short bed truck. The hitch has an interlocking 2-jaw system that provides a 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact to provide less rattle and more security than slide-bar models. This hitch has a 3-Point indicator system, the color coding tells you if the hitch...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 with 5-3/4 Foot Bed
    Since your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 has the short 5-3/4' bed I have a few options for a 5th wheel hitch and the difference really boils down to what you'd like to do or are willing to do. First things first though, we will need to get some rails and wiring installed in the bed of your truck and for that I recommend the Reese Rails # RP56015-53 and Wiring Kit # C53CR. Now that we have all of this squared away we can look at the different 5th wheel hitch options. I personally like the fixed...

    I definitely recommend going with a sliding hitch for your short bed 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 to ensure your trailer doesn't crash into the cab of your truck. This is especially true since you mentioned the switchback roads and tight turns. With that in mind, the best 5th wheel hitch is going to be one that does not require you to get in and out of your truck to slide the hitch, so it will be much more convenient for you. The hitch is an autoslide, from Demco; for the hitch and 5th wheel...

    We can get your 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 with a 6-1/2 foot standard bed set up with a 5th wheel hitch, and for that size bed what you will need is a sliding hitch.

  • Recommended Curt 5th Wheel Hitch For 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 For 20,000 lb Trailer
    Since your Alliance trailer has a 20,000 lb GVWR, you'll need a hitch with a capacity that exceeds that, and the best option from Curt is the A-Series. You didn't mention if your 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 had the OEM puck system, or if you already have bed rails installed, or if it was a short bed or long bed, so I'll list out every potential option: - Short Bed WITHOUT OEM Puck System: Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16429-204 & Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ S25 Slider...

  • Recommended Truck Bed 7 Way for 2020 GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali
    Yes. You can use the Curt # C53CR that you were looking at and it will tee into the existing wiring to give you a 7 way connector in the truck bed of your 2020 GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali. This will keep the 7 way on your rear bumper operational as well in the event that it also needs to be used occasionally.

  • Difference Between Curt 5th Wheel Base Rail Kits For 2021 GMC Sierra 1500
    That's a good question, and the only difference between the two base rail kits that fit your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 (6-1/2 foot and 8 foot bed) is the finish. One is a glossy black finish and the other is a carbide black, which essentially means it just doesn't have quite as much shine to it. Otherwise, they are exactly the same, with the same parts and no-drill install in the frame rails of your truck: - Gloss Black Finish: Curt Semi-Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC Truck...

  • 5th Wheel Base Rails & Custom Brackets For 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500HD
    Hi there Brad; good questions and let's start with the 5th wheel base rails, as you will need new ones to go with a custom, no-drill install kit for your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500. The reason is you can't mix and match base rails and brackets, and I believe by "Pro" you are referring to old Pro Series rails, which there aren't brackets for. So for new rails and brackets the best option is the following: - B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2505 I like the B&W # BWRVK2505...

  • Troubleshooting Left Hand Turn Signal Not Working On Curt 5TH Wheel Wiring Harness # C53CR
    I would start by disconnecting the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness # C53CR so you will be able to verify the issue is with this and not either the wiring or a fuse on your truck. Since you mentioned that both connectors are not working I fear it may be a part of the trucks wiring or a damaged connector going into the trucks wiring. Once you have verified this please let me know what you find. Do note the harness has a 1-year warranty through Curt.
