How it was received; either is was mail destroyed or UPS did this in the process. No telling what parts are missing, waiting for UPS to come pick this and E-Trailer to send out replacement.
I thought these product would be packaged better from the factory for shipping resilience.

2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
I gave this hits only 4 stars since all of the available information indicated it would bolt right on to my 2003 Avalanche 1500 (All Models) with no modification, but it wasn't quite that simple. First off, my Avalanche has the plastic cladding. The end brackets of the hitch push the bottom of the air dam under the bumper down a bit and make it bow out. I had to remove the bracket that secured the air dam to the center of the frame. I mounted the hitch in the upper position since I didn't want it to be so low, and the receiver ends up being 8" back from the bumper facia. I had to order an 8" extension to bring it out past the bumper. Other than that, I'm happy with the hitch. I just wish the fitment guide was a little more specific.

Did the hitch still come out under the cladding? Or do u need to make a hole for extension? Thanks Bryan 2004 avalanche with clading

Since I installed the hitch in the upper position, I had to cut a hole through the claddingbumper. This came out near the bottom of the license plate recess. I then use the 8 extension if needed. This brings the receiver out in front of the bumper.

This hitch was very easy to install....I had to trim the lower air dam to fit around the receiver and that gives it a clean neat look.
I didn't like that I had to remove and leave the shields around the tow hooks off. But overall I'm very pleased.
I plan to use this hitch for maneuvering a camper in a narrow spot beside my home, and for a bike rack when towing a camper.

The Curt front hitch is GREAT!I use it to help move my camper beside my house which is lacking clearance to back in. I will certainly install one on my next truck.
by: Olen09/19/2022
Of the many hitch receivers I have purchased, the front mounted ones have never failed to surprise me of their usefulness! From bike racks, to carrier for coolers, to my chainsaws, gas and oil, they make it work. Recently while cutting wood for a hunting lease engagement, I put a second ball on the front and used it to drive a 16' trailer up a hill to get the wood where it was needed for offloading. Backing it up had resulting in damaged trucks, trailers and numerous attempts. Using the front hitch it was a one and done deal! Love it! I have even used it to pull trees over when felling. I don't have enough fingers and toes to count the uses! If you have ever thought about it, just stop and order! You won't regret it!

I have a 2006 Silverado 2wd LD truck and mounted a curt front trailer hitch ... I mounted both side plates first without tighten down.. I then mounted the 2" receiver section ... Tightened that down then,finished cranking down side brackets !!!!! Done !!!! However I did have to cut the backside of the tow hooks facia plastic with a jig saw no problem ... I never cut into the cup portion I just cut some of the extra plastic in the back off DONE !!!!!!!

I have had this on my 2005 Chevy Silverado for a year. I have used it to hold a Yakima bike rack once but mostly to carry a large toolbox for camping trips. Easy to install. I kept my plastic air damn on and just cut out a square hole for the hitch.
by: Mark S.09/18/2014
The shipping was quick. Installed easily. The hitch is visible just below the fascia at the bottom of the bumper. I had a front hitch on my previous truck (Tacoma); also from etrailer. I use the front hitch to move my travel trailer into tight spaces.
Originally, with this recent purchase, I had purchased the incorrect item. All it took was an email from the staff at etrailer. The email contained product return instructions along with an RGA#. I just returned yesterday. This extra customer service made the return process quite simple.
With all my needs regarding hitches, etc. I will always check etrailer first.

Installation extremely easy, line up holes and bolt together, that simple. No trimming required.
Purchase front hitch to park 29 FT. camper at a cramped storage facility. Dropping the camper off now is as easy as picking up the camper.
All parts well packed. Website easy to use, prices are right and easy to track shipment. Would purchase from website again.

Let first say , working with Emily was great. I had an issue with the first hitch not fitting . She helped me order a new hitch that went without a hitch , no pun intended. New hitch is installed as you can see in the picture. Installation was a snap. Already doing work. Thanks again will buy from you all again.

Anything I get from etrailer and Curt hitches always works! This front mounted hitch will be no different, providing I can put it on tomorrow if it’s not raining! I will continue to buy here!

I checked and for the 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 LD I did not have a hitch that would provide a longer receiver opening.

Ashley was very helpful, haven't mounted the hitch yet but did get under their held in place and its going to fit just fine. again thank you much , will do business with you.

My front mount hitch arrived with in days of ordering. I watched the installation instructions video on your site before receiving it and it was a very easy install. Your company deserves 5 gold stars in my book. I'm a very happy customer!!!

I can’t address the installation as the box arrived torn and some of the nuts and bolts were rattling in the box. Now I have to wait for the missing hardware. The hitch itself looks to be high quality and you would think that quality packaging would be a priority. All it would take is a heavy plastic bag wrapped in cardboard to protect the bag of hardware from ripping open in transit.
by: Robert 10/19/2023
Works perfectly, easy to install,I used it yesterday to move my dump trailer through the woods to the wood shed.

Installation was a breeze and easily done with simple hand tools most guys have in the garage. I' 77 and it took a little over an hour. Looks terrific!

Hitch is great,but Im using it on a snow plow that has stabilizer bars that are supposed to align with the hitch crossmember. Because the hitch itself is mounted on the bottom of the crossmember, they do not align.

Excellent product and superior customer service. Instructions indicated it would take a professional an hour to install and a normal guy (me?) 2 hours.....well, I had it installed in an hour and five minutes and only busted one knuckle! Simple install, excellent fit, great shopping experience.

Works perfectly for accessories on front of truck. I use it for a motorcycle carrier.
by: Charles05/15/2020
Product arrived in a timely manner and was the right fit.. was easier to install than I thought it was going be. Took about 45 minutes. Only gripe is that the bolts that attach to the frame of truck spin even when they are in the metal plate when tightening down. Used a pair of pliers to hold end of bolt while using wrench to tighten. Other than that, exactly what I needed.

I had a Chevy dealership install the hitch. My health prevents me from work such as that now days. Installation was very easy and took just about the hour suggested on the instruction sheet. I have given the pickup to my grandson but he's not trained in a standard transmission. He will have to learn!

- Recommended Snow Plow Set Up For A 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic 1500 LDThere will be two options for adding a plow to the front of your 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic. Keep in mind that both of these options will be for the 1500 LD model of Silverado, but with that being said, let's get into it. The First way to go about adding a plow will be using a front mount hitch, like the Curt # 31302. This allows the Detail K2 Elite Snowplow # K2AVAL8422ELT to attach to your truck without the need of custom brackets. The other option is the Custom Mounting Brackets...
view full answer... - Recommended Front-Mount Trailer Hitch for 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LDIf your 2002 Silverado is not the HD model then yes it would be the LD version. For your LD version, we have the Curt hitch # 31302. This hitch has a 2 inch receiver opening.
view full answer... - Front Hitch Recommendation for a 2003 GMC Sierra 3/4 ton TruckBetween the two hitches the one that is confirmed to fit your 2003 GMC Sierra 3/4 ton truck would be the # 31108. The # 31302 that you also referenced is designed to fit only the 1500 LD models so it wouldn't be the correct hitch for you. That is the difference between the two part numbers.

- What Modifications are Required to Install a Front Mount Trailer Hitch On My 2004 GMC Yukon 1500To install the Curt Front Mount Hitch on a 2004 GMC Yukon 1500, you may need to trim the front air dam or fascia for the hitch to install properly. How much trimming and if trimming is even needed varies from model to model and you will only know once you have the hitch. I have included a link to the installation details for reference.
view full answer... - Installation of Bolts on the Curt Front Mount Hitch # 31302 for a 2002 Chevy Suburban 1500The bolt and washer that are inserted into the frame will act as the wrench on the top part of the bolt. The bolt itself is a carriage bolt which has a square notch in the bottom of the head and the washer has a slightly larger square notch in it for the bolt to sit and this will prevent the bolt from free spinning when attaching the nut. You will want to hand tighten the nut before using a wrench to secure it down. If you watch the attached video at 2:21 minute mark you can see the...
view full answer... - Front Hitch Recommendation for a 2006 GMC SierraIf your 2006 GMC Sierra is a 1500 LD then the Curt Hitch part # 31302 would be the correct front mount hitch. If you have a 1500HD or 2500HD/3500HD you would instead want the part # 31108. I attached install videos for both hitches for you to check out as well.

It is for the 2500HD and 3500HD models. For an '05 Silverado 1500 we have the Curt # 31302 for an LD or the Draw-Tite # 65028 for an HD.

The Curt # 31302 is a confirmed fit and a solid choice for your Silverado. I have attached the installation instructions for you.
view full answer... - Front Mount Trailer Hitch for a 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic 2500The 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic 2500 requires a different front mount trailer hitch. From Curt, you can use # 31108. I spoke with my contact at Curt and from the bottom of the frame rail to the bottom of the receiver on the hitch once installed is 5 inches. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. I have included a some pictures showing the hitch installed.

- Determining Location of Hole in Fascia to Install Curt Front Mounted Receiver Part # 31302For a through-fascia installation, the instructions state that the top of the 3 inch square hole would fall 3-1/2 inches below the top edge of the plastic fascia. Before cutting, I would strongly recommend you confirm these measurements for yourself. Install the frame brackets, then slip the hitch cross member behind the fascia. Because the fascia will be in the way, you will not be able to slide the cross member all the way forward, but if you can hold the cross member at the correct...
view full answer... - How to Tow a Boat and Carry a 300 lb Scooter with a 2001 Chevy 1500 SilveradoThe best solution I have for you would be to install a front mount hitch on your 2001 Chevy 1500 and then use a motorcycle carrier to carry the 300 lb scooter. If you have a light duty 1500 you would want the # 31302, if you have an HD 1500 you would want the # 31108 hitch. Both of these hitches have a tongue weight rating of 500 lbs so they would have the capacity for your scooter. Then for a carrier you could use to carry the scooter you would want the Ultra Fab Carrier part # UF48-979033.

view full answer... - Is There a Front Receiver Compatible With Ranch Hand Grille Guard On 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71? Since the Curt Front Mounted Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31302 is going to mount in the same location and interfere with the supports on the Ranch Hand Grille Guard on your 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 you will not be able to use then together. Rather you would need to have something fabricated that will work with your grille guard. We do have the Weld-On 2" Receiver # E17 you can use to have a receiver fabricated to fit with your grille guard.

- What Modifications are Required to Install a Front Mount Trailer Hitch on 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch, # 31302, can be installed on your 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 HD in two ways. It can be installed with the hitch receiver through the bumper which would require a 3 inch square hole to be cut into the plastic fascia, or it can be installed under the bumper which requires no trimming. The receiver opening will protrude far enough out so insert/remove the hitch pin without having to go beneath the truck. The instructions do not mention relocating the front...
view full answer... - How Far from the Frame Does Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch # 31302 HangWhen in the through bumper position, from the bottom of the frame to the bottom of the cross tube it looks to be approximately 8-1/2 inches. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. Through bumper configuration requires a 3 inch square hole to be cut into the plasitc fascia. Position the hole on the vehicle center line 3 1/2 inches below the top edge of the plastic fascia.

Instead, I recommend the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65028 which is a confirmed fit for your truck, and offers the same 9000lb line pull rating, 500lb vertical load rating, and 5000lb gross trailer weight rating as the # 31302...
view full answer... - Looking for a Front Hitch to fit 2000 Chevy SilveradoI do have a front mounted hitch that will fit your 2000 Chevy Silverado, though the Draw-Tite Front Mount Receiver, # 65028, is not a fit for your truck. What you would need is the Curt Front Mount Receiver, # 31302, which is confirmed to work with your vehicle. The Draw-Tite Universal Spare Tire Carrier, # 6715, would be a great choice, fitting into the two-inch receiver that the Curt offers. I have attached links to video reviews of each product for you to take a look at.

Since you have a 1500 series, this hitch will not fit your truck. Do you have the 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500? If so, you would use the Curt # 31302. If you have a 2000 Chevrolet C/K LS with a 6 foot bed, part # 65005 will fit your 1500.

The benefit of this hitch is that you can install it with the receiver below the front fascia or to exit out higher which will require trimming in most cases. This is why it bolts to the brackets. Curt hitches are often times less expensive, but not always. It just depends on the part. The quality of the product is on par with other brands. The Curt hitch is a...
view full answer... - Correct Front Mounted Receiver for 2005 Chevy SilveradoThe # K2AVAL8422 K2 plow attaches to the vehicle using a standard front mounted hitch. The hitch you need will depend on whether your Silverado is a 1500 or a 1500 HD model. The easy way to differentiate between the two is the hubs. The 1500 has 6 bolt hubs while the 1500HD has 8 bolt hubs. If you have the 1500 model, I'd recommend the Curt # 31302. If you have the 1500HD model, use the Curt # 31108. I've linked to installation videos for both hitches mentioned above.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2003 Chevy TahoeI have a solution for you, but a front mount trailer hitch like the # 31302 can only be used for a winch or for pushing around a trailer to get it in the right position; you can not use it to tow your 2003 Chevy Tahoe. You would not be able to turn properly with a single attachment point at the center of a 4 wheeled vehicle, it's not really going to be an option for you. To safely flat tow a vehicle you will need a special attachment called base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting,...
