This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.by: Ali12/30/2022
Made in USA! Can't ask for better than that! My only two complaints are
1. The hitch pin is too close to the safety chain eyelets. You have to latch the safety chains before you can put the hitch pin in, otherwise the safety chains won't fit.
2. The packaging made it so the hitch arms were bent. I had to use a sledge hammer to straighten out the receiver before the mounting bracket holes would line up. Beef up your packaging so this thing doesn't bend in transit.
Other than that, this receiver is a huge upgrade over stock! I feel a lot more comfortable hauling heavy loads with this hitch over the stock hitch.

I think someone in your warehouse is an idiot. I ordered a trailer hitch #14080 and was sent # 11408. I NEED TO GET THIS VEHICLE OFF MY LIFT AND OUT OF HERE BY FRIDAY MORNING AND NOW HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE REPLACEMENT TO ARRIVE WHICH I HAVE SERIOUS DOUBTS WILL BE HERE IN TIME.

Hitch construction is top notch. The problem with this design is that the frame on the 1500 suburban is the weak link and this hitch has a small mounting footprint at the weakest spot of the frame.
We tow a small Jayco Octane 161 toy hauler. Total loaded trailer weight is around 6,700lbs with 1,100lbs tongue weight. Weight distribution hitch is a blue ox sway pro with the 1,500lb bars.
Even with weight distribution engaged, the frame flexes about 1/4" down and pulls away from the body mount pucks—actually leaves a gap between the body and mounting pucks.
I would recommend looking at a receiver that does more to reinforce the frame with a longer mounting surface.
All in all, a world of difference from the oem hitch.

Hitch was easy to install. I took more time using looking for my tools than actually installing. Used the plug bracket as a template and cut hole in bumper to mount the plug receptacle. Now it looks like it came from manufacturer and it doesn’t hang low under bumper/hitch.

Hitch fit vehicle perfectly, 30 minutes to install hitch.
Seven pin adapter worked perfectly. Bracket interference with hitch frame. Drilled hole into bumper and mounted seven pin receptacle in bumper.

Fit perfectly. Very easy to install. I've had both Reese and curt tow hitches. Curt has been a much better fit.

2001 Chevrolet Suburban
This hitch bolted on in the exact location of my original oem hitch on my 2001 Suburban. Everything lined up nicely. I use it to pull our boat around to tournaments and we pull our mower trailer daily. It’s a good solid hitch. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about adding or replacing their trailer hitch.

Rock solid with no issues at all. The hitch will probably outlive my old Suburban.
by: ABS09/05/2022
Replaced the rusty stock receiver on my 2002 Tahoe with this part. Perfect fit and WAY more solid. Had to relocate 7-pin electrical plug by drilling a hole though bumper, but this is where it should have been located in the first place by GM. Highly recommended to renew an older vehicle’s tow capability.

Chevrolet Suburban
Heavy Duty! Perfect fitment!
OEM was Class III, this is Class IV.
OEM one had thin cheap paint, this has fairly thick paint.
This does mount flush the the bumper unlike the low hanging OEM hitch which I like, but you will need a drop hitch(2.5" higher over OEM)
The chain rings are a little high and you have to bend over but I'd rather have that than the lower clearance OEM one.
I did have to loosen up the spare tire on my Yukon in order to mount this. I had to push the spare forward about 1" and re-tighten it up. The OEM hitch bows outward where this is straight across. Not a big deal at all but I thought I'd mention it. The XL or Suburban models are not issue as the spare is further forward already.
by: Salty Doug04/22/2016
The hitch assembly installed easily once I found a breaker bar large enough to remove the OEM hitch. We towed my 6500 LB boat and our 2700 LB travel trailer with ease.
Be advised that the hitch receiver is at a different height than the OEM hitch, so I had to change the ball mounts to maintain the trailers at a level position when towing.

2002 Chevrolet Suburban
Very pleased with the hitch as received: very rugged design and construction with a good application of paint. As advertised it did go onto the truck easily in less than an hour - all bolt holes lined up just fine. I've towed a 4,500 boat/trailer and a 7,000 camper with load equalizing hitch with satisfactory results - solid connection with no evidence of bending anything. Thanks for the good product.

Looks great. Very easy install!

The CURT hitch arrived with the shipping box in good condition but the hitch itself had it's paint scuffed and chipped. Since the shipping box was fine, the damage must have happened when eTrailer boxed it. I had a deadline to install the new hitch so I did not return hitch for a replacement. The build quality from CURT was fine. Maybe even better then the original factory hitch.

2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
Transaction was excellent from order to delivery. Hitch fit and finish was great too. Problem came in when I had to mount the 7 pin connector. I called support to ask if drilling and tapping 2 holes for 10-32 screws in the Hitch tube would compromise the warranty and was informed it would. Ok. How about if i weld it on like the OE? Same answer. As this is a 2002 Avalanche, and the Hitch Is application specific, I'm sure Kurt realizes it has a cladded rear bumper. And they didn't have a suggestion on an alternative except a strap on. So, I ordered the long one. And had to modify it to fit the cladding. In hind sight, I probably should have just drilled it. This could have been a 5 star review but...

2001 Ram 2500
This product was purchased for a 2001 Suburban 2500. It is very well constructed and heavy duty. The installation was simple and required no drilling. The only issue I had was the 2 bolts that attach to the bottom of the bumper. When the hitch was bolted to the frame, there was a 1/4” gap between the hitch and the bottom of the bumper. I had to use flat washers on the bolts to fill the gap so the bumper bolts could be tightened securely. That was a minor issue and the hitch is performing very well.

I purchased this item originally from another online retailer (the big one). It arrived damaged in a damaged box. It was bent, quite noticeably. I returned it, and the replacement arrived in similar condition. Unusable. I asked for a refund and ordered the hitch from etrailer. The item arrived in great condition and I have successfully installed it on my truck. It is exactly what I needed, an upgrade from the OEM receiver on my 2011 Avalanche. Heavy duty, with all the hardware and torque specs. I should have come to etrailer first. Next time, I will. Thanks!
by: Marty 01/31/2020
I've had this hitch for one year and so far so good! I've pulled utility trailers and a 26' camper. My mechanic recommend a welded frame hitch vs a hitch kit due to our Michigan winter's. I'm happy.

Honda Element
Purchased to replace rusted, bent stock GM hitch. This one was significantly heavier and made of thicker steel, and doesn't have the tube ends open to the element. The stock hitch cross tube ends are open, and a pile of rust fell out upon removal. Installation was straightforward, but be aware that the stock hitch has the wire connector bracket welded to it so you'll need to make other arrangements. Fortunately(!) mine had already rusted off so I was able to transfer it to the new hitch and secure it with hose clamps.

- Is There a Class V Trailer Hitch Receiver Available For a 2002 GMC Yukon XL 2500? ?Looking online it appears the frame used on your 2002 GMC Yukon XL 2500 was also used on the Suburban 2500 and Avalanche 2500 for the model year. I do see a Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver available in a Class IV # 14080 rating but there is not a class V custom fit receiver for any of these models. Do note since we have not confirmed the fit of this receiver on Yukon XL 2500 you may be best going with a Universal Class V Receiver # 15901. While this will require welding onto your frame you...

For your 2002 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 I suggest the Curt Class IV # 14080. It doesn't require any driling to install like the Draw-Tite for your truck does. The maximum gross trailer weight is 12,000 pounds when using a weight distribution system, which I definitely recommend if you're going to towing that much weight. I looked up some specs on your truck and as far as I could find it's maximum towing...

Since your Tahoe is the 'new body style' produced on the newer GMT800 platform the Curt Class IV hitch you mentioned, part # 14080 would be a fit for your vehicle. As you can see in the instructions I've linked, the hitch is an easy install, utilizing existing holes in the truck frame so no drilling is needed. You might also...

The reason for this is not so much as the weight of the trailer is more than the vehicle can handle though it would be a stretch but more so that the configuration of the truck bed does not allow for turning clearance. The Chevrolet Avalanche only has a 5' bed and the bed rails further limit turning clearance therefore you would most likely be...

Curt does not offer a Class V hitch for the 2002 model, but there is a Class IV, part # 14080. The Class IV hitch has a 10000 lb towing/ 1000 lb tongue weight capacity or 12000 lb towing/ 1200 lb tongue weight capacity when used with a weight distribution system.

These capacities would be ideal for the travel trailer you spoke of. If the 8600 lb figure you mentioned represents the travel trailer weight when it's loaded up as you'd normally have it when towing, your tongue weight will be in the 800-1200 lb range.

Curt # 14080 which carries a 1000-lb TW capacity. This tongue weight capacity increases to 1200-lb with weight distribution.

This hitch is rock solid. After a year of ownership, I love the comfort of that 1,000 lb tongue load and 10k lb tow capacity. This is so much better than stock and gives me peace of mind when hauling heavy loads
