Specially designed for heavy-duty towing, this fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.
Very happy with this hitch. Finish has held up well and is a very beefy addition to my 03'Duramax. Allows me to tow my heavy trailers without fear of breaking my factory hitch again (twice now).
Fairly easy to install as well.
When I discovered that my factory installed hitch was only rated for 7500lbs I knew I needed something different. Etrailer came through again. This hitch is exactly what i needed. My camper has a GVW of 12K and i have the weight distribution hitch. Easy to install and the 4" drop just what i needed to lower my bumper also.
The product itself is great.! Will likely order a second for my other truck. I’d give it a 5/5 stars, Worked phenomenal on a long trip! Easy to install by yourself. However it came damaged, box rubbed/ripped through and the powder coat rubbed off in multiple places and when I reached out to try and get a replacement got nothing so I went ahead and installed so I could make my trip.
Dealing with etrailer was a breeze! Nice well built receiver hitch, heavy duty. Took less than half an hour to install including removing the old hitch. I will definitely recommend etrailer.com.
THE BEST SERVICE BY FAR!!!!!
I went through 3 different companies before contacting etrailer, they was very patient with me and went over everything to make sure the order was right.
I ordered it and asked for quick shipping, something almost no one offers on parts like this and BUT they have 4 DAY SHIPPING for only around $40, you can’t beat that!!! I ordered it Thursday, they said it will be here Thursday or Friday of the following week and it was here the following Tuesday!!!
Very quick and easy install.
I have 3 Curt Class V Hitches by the way.
one on the Chevrolet,Ford and Ram.
Thanks again for the Great service, y’all have a permanent customer.
AND THEY GIVE YOU STEP BY STEP DELIVERY PROGRESS!!!
I almost didn't buy it from the reviews saying it hangs lower than the oem one. I'm very happy I did, its a nice hitch. Yeah it hangs a little lower but it's negligible cant even tell. Buy it....
The trailer hitch is a super heavy duty trailer hitch. The only problem with the trailer hitches is very heavy to install underneath of the truck. I have a truck with a 10 inch drop bumper they was after market and they research the trailer hitch and said it would fit and it fits great love the trailer hitch installation had all the right Hardware all grade 8 bolts nothing cheap about it love it
Heavy Duty hitch and was easy to install. I really wish Curt would have extended the hitch further out as I can no longer carry my full size spare. I have 35" tall tires and I no longer have the room to carry the spare. The distance between the differential cover and hitch is shorter than the OEM hitch.

The hitch is well built and has served me well.
Product arrived in a damaged box and had some scratches in various places. Packaging could have probably been more robust.
Other than that, the installation was quick and straightforward. Unless you regularly bench about 100 pounds, you'll need some assistance. Have yet to tow with it, but it should work just fine. Much better than the stock hitch that failed which prompted the replacement. 03 GMC Sierra 3500 CC Long bed, Dually, 6.6L.

I will have our customer service team reach out to you. I recommend using a rust resistant paint to touch up the hitch. You will then have the paint on hand for regular hitch maintenance.

Was actually shocked at how heavy duty this thing is. Took under an hour to install.
It easily bolted on to my 08 Silverado 2500HD. The floor of the 2 1/2" receiver hole is about 1" lower than the hitch (I think stock) I took off, but I knew that from reading other reviews.
Looks like a well built hitch,installing over the weekend.
Still an excellent product and still highly recommend it!

Towed a lot with it and still working great, zero complaints.
Great hitch and perfect fit for my truck. Was really a 2 man job but got it done by myself. The factory hitch is kind of a pain to get off on the 2008 HD as there are bolts up right at the bumper line.
The new one fit like a glove i did add to shackles to allow my safety chains to attach a little easier. Great product great customer service. etrailer is the best i love these guys have bought lots of stuff from them and will definitely continue to buy more. Thanks
This hitch receiver is built very well and bolted right up to the frame. Should be able to tow my 38' toy hauler with no issues with this thing. Just wished they provided the most rearward bolts and nuts if you have an off road bumper that doesn't require the bottom rear bolts for a stock bumper. It's also pretty heavy, definitely a two man job. All in all, great receiver.
This is one duty receiver. One piece hitch with all hardware included. I installed in my driveway in 25minutes with only basic tools needed. Hangs about 4" lower than stock receiver but eliminated Need for drop hitch
Great customer service. Product performs as should. Easy installation. Huge upgrade to the stock tow package, that had rusted through on my 08 silverado
Great affordable hitch. Very easy to install. I installed it in about 30 minutes even without removing the spare tire. 05 3500 Silverado
Fast shipping and great selection. Will do all my business her from now on.
Very heavy built, super easy to install
First off I am becoming a huge fan of E-trailers! I destroyed the stock hitch on my 02 Silverado 2500HD and was stressed about getting another hitch and having to wait for shipping. Not that this will happen every time but it was on my door step 3 days earlier than expected. The hitch fit great and was easy to install. I didn't realize how light duty the stock hitch was until mine folded in half while towing my equipment trailer. This Curt hitch is a huge upgrade and gives me peace of mind now when hauling heavy loads. Couldn't be happier!!!
Hitch receiver fit perfectly just as described, these folks give you step by step directions for start to finish install which expedite your entire process. Ordered Monday here on Wednesday! 11/10
Best experience I’ve ever had ordering a product. So easy to see where your package is thru the whole process. Great staff
Hitch arrived in a timely fashion with no shipping damage. Fit great on my hauler. Best shipping tracking that I have used! Will definitely recommend!
Install went well very happy with product, electrical receptacle bracket needed a little modifyingBy pulling the bracket out word and changing the angle had to trim a little plastic off the bumper
