1990 GMC C/K Series Pickup

Installed the product in 20 minutes! Would have been faster if I didn't have to loosen my exhaust! Also installed the wire harness and flip up license plate.

1997 ChevroletC/K Series Pickup

One year post purchase of my hitch. I'm still highly satisfied with my hitch and with etrailer service. I highly recommend etrailer for your towing needs. I would take a picture but my hitch is a hide-a-way.

Thanks etrailer!!!!!



by:

It looks great I will install the hitch tomorrow



by:

The hitch went on Like a glove within minutes and the spare tire also went back where it belonged now the seven way plug I just couldn’t do it so I took it to u haul had them install it I’m happy with my purchase 100 percent



by:

Product was shipped quickly and fit perfectly. Quick 30 minute install. Option for a spare tire relocation would be great, but it works without it and it lined up perfectly behind my roll pan for the flip down license plate option.

Chevrolet Silverado

I received my hitch today and installed it on my 1992 Chevy Silverado with roll pan. My roll pan already had a cut-out behind the plate. Picked up my flip down plate holder online and everything worked great. Actual installation time was less than 20 minutes. Gives the truck a nice clean look!



by:

The product performed as expected. Installed in the vehicle in less than an hour.

Customer service was outstanding. etrailer pro-actively kept me informed on the status of the order.



by:

I would give this product 5 out of 5 stars! The product itself is constructed of high quality metal, the welds are strong, and it has a clean finish. Installation was a breeze! It took me less then ten minutes to install. The package included all the hardware I needed, detailed directions, and an easy to read diagram. Lastly the customer service was outstanding. I called in with several questions and they were able to answer them immediately. They even helped me to place my order and make sure everything was correct for my truck. To top it off they even checked back in with me on the day of delivery to make sure that everything fit and was up to my expectations.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 1991 Chevrolet C/K 1500 Stepside W/ Roll Pan
    I reached out to my contact at Curt and for your 1991 Chevrolet C/K 1500 Stepside Pickup with a roll pan the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13942 should work but you will need to measure the width of your frame to confirm. As long as your frame measures 34-3/4" wide the # 13942 will fit perfectly and will work perfectly with your roll pan.

  • Is Spare Tire Repositioner Available for the Curt Trailer Hitch # 13942 on a 1989 Chevy C/K Pickup
    We do not carry a aftermarket spare tire repositioner that you may need to use when installing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13942 on your 1989 Chevy C/K Pickup.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 1989 Chevy C/K Series Pickup with Roll Pan Bumper
    For your 1989 Chevy C/K Series Pickup I recommend the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch # 13942. This will fit your truck with the roll pan and the only slight modification you will need to do on the bumper is to cut in the license plate area so the hitch receiver can be accessed. Also please note that this hitch will only fit the 1500 models (there is not a hitch available for the 2500/3500 models with a roll pan bumper). This is a heavy-duty Class III hitch that will provide you with a 2...

  • What is the Bolt Hole to Bolt Hole Width of the Curt 13942
    The Curt # 13942 has the following bolt hole to bolt hole measurements. The bolt hole closest to engine and middle hole- 34-3/4" apart center on center. The bolt hole closest to the rear of the truck- 34-1/8" apart center on center. I've also linked an image with these dimensions.

  • Trailer Hitch For a 1997 Chevrolet C/K Pickup With Sport Side Bed
    The hitch you choose will depend on your rear bumper type on your 1997 Chevrolet Pickup. For a standard or step rear bumper the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C14081 is a class IV hitch with a 2" receiver. Maximum trailer weight is 10,000lbs and 1,000lbs tongue weight with standard hitch. A weight distribution hitch will allow for 12,000lbs of trailer weight and 1,200lbs of tongue weight. Be sure not to exceed the weight ratings given by Chevrolet for your specific truck.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 1992 GMC 3500
    Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 41947 fits the cab and chassis models of the 1992 GMC 3500 trucks. These are the trucks that do not come with beds and are turned into utility trucks, ambulance vehicles, and similar things like that. These trucks have a narrower frame width than the pickup models. If your truck's frame width is 34 inches wide measured from the outside of one frame rail to the outside of the other then this hitch will fit. If you have a regular pickup model with a standard/step...

    Yes the discontinued Curt Trailer Hitch 37069 will fit on your 1998 Chevrolet C/K 1500. It will require drilling to be installed. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C14081 for you as this will allow you a no drill installation. This hitch is designed to work with the standard or step bumper on your year truck. If your Chevrolet has the roll pan rear bumper the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13942 will be the correct hitch. The Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness...

  • Which Trailer Hitch Receiver For 1992 Chevrolet CK 1500 With Standard Bumper
    I have another option but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13942 will not fit on your 1992 Chevrolet CK 1500 if you do not have a roll pan. This is due to the fact that the roll pan hitches sit higher up and require a cut out in the roll pan for the hitch. With your standard bumper the hitch would be behind the bumper instead of under it. As long as you have a standard rear bumper I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13042 which will put the receiver tube under the bumper,...

  • Receiver Hitch for 1989 Chevy C1500 With Roll Pan Bumper
    We've got you covered. You'll want to use the Curt # 13942 Class III hitch that you'd looked at. This hitch is specifically designed for vehicles with a roll pan, and would install behind the license plate. The hitch install could interfere with your under-bed spare tire, you might need to reposition the tire. I've provided a photo showing the hitch once it's installed.

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 Stepside Bed With Roll Pan Bumper
    There is a trailer hitch designed to work on the 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 with a roll pan bumper. You can use Curt hitch # 13932. Since your roll pan bumper already has the cut out you will not need to trim any more. I have linked a video showing the Curt hitch being installed. If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4. It comes with a ball mount with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop, interchangeable ball set, hitch pin with clip, and a storage...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 1989 Chevy K1500
    The Curt 3-Piece Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15511 will fit a 1989 Chevy K1500 if it's the cab and chassis model. Since you have a pickup we need to find a different hitch. If your Chevy has the standard or step bumper then I recommend checking out the etrailer hitches; part # e88AR if you have a crew cab or part # e29KR if you don't have a crew cab. These are lower capacities than the Curt hitch you currently have but it matches more closely to what your truck is really capable of pulling. If...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 1991 Chevrolet C/K Pickup W/ Roll Pan
    As long as your 1991 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup is a 1500 I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13942 which is designed to work with trucks that have a roll pan installed, but you will need to cut a hole in the roll pan behind the license plate for the hitch to work. At this time there is not a trailer hitch receiver for the 2500/3500 trucks with a roll pan. The # 13942 has a 500lb tongue weight rating and 5000lb trailer weight rating making it a...

  • Trailer Hitch for a Lifted 1997 Chevy C/K Series 1500 Truck
    Cab and chassis models are what they use to make service vehicles like flat beds and utility trucks. They have frame rails that are more narrow. If your truck can with a bed on it then it is most likely not a cab and chassis. Since the truck is lifted, adding a roll pan does not necessarily mean that you have to get the roll pan bumper hitch. I will depend on how the roll pan mounts and how far it comes down. You will want to look at the instructions for the roll pan hitches, like #...
