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.
by: Richard 03/15/2024
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.
by: Jacob09/26/2023
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.

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.
by: Scott10/02/2022
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 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!!!
by: Anthony08/04/2022
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.
by: Jason09/18/2019
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

Been using for a year the hitch is great.the paint is still in gear condition no peeling,or rusting.the hitch has handled everything I have hooked to it .
by: Brian 04/29/2024
Was actually shocked at how heavy duty this thing is. Took under an hour to install.
by: Chip11/06/2021
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.

Looks like a well built hitch,installing over the weekend.
by: AJ10/11/2023
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.

Still an excellent product and still highly recommend it!

Great affordable hitch. Very easy to install. I installed it in about 30 minutes even without removing the spare tire. 05 3500 Silverado
by: Scott01/25/2018
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

2021 Forest River Cherokee Wolf Pack TT Toy Hauler
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.
by: Cade07/07/2023
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!!!
by: Josh H.12/28/2015
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
by: Ashton09/13/2023
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

Nice quality hitch easy install. Fast shipping. It sits a little lower then the factory hitch on a 2005 gmc 3500, so may want to double check if that may cause you an issue

Best experience I’ve ever had ordering a product. So easy to see where your package is thru the whole process. Great staff

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

- Recommended Heavy Duty Hitch for a 2006 GMC Sierra Short BedThe Draw-Tite # DT45519 is designed to be used on the 8 foot bed models of the GMC Sierra and will not fit the short bed models. That being said, we do have Class V hitches with a 2 1/2 inch receiver options available for your short bed truck. The Draw-Tite # DT45517 is designed for short bed trucks and has a 13,000 pound towing capacity and 1,300 pound tongue weight capacity. This is upped to 17,000 pounds and 1,700 pounds, respectively, when a weight distribution system is used. The...
view full answer... - Is There a Curt 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch that Fits a 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HD 6-1/2 Foot BedWe do have a trailer hitch to fit your 2006 Cheverlot Silverado 2500HD but the Curt # C15800 is not a fit. It fits larger cab & chassis models. Instead hitch # C15703 is a 2-1/2 inch reveiver that fits. I've linked a video from when we installed it on a 2003 Silverado for you. If you also need trailer wiring I recommend # 30955 for your truck.

- Recommended Reducer Sleeve For Curt 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch ReceiverThe Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V CD - 2-1/2" # C15703 for your 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD does not come with any adapters. It sounds like you are interested in a reducer like the Curt Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve - 2-1/2" to 2" # C45405. This will allow you to use 2 inch accessories with your 2-1/2 inch receiver.

The distance between the vertical mounting holes is 14-1/2" center to center, and the horizontal mountings holes are 39" apart center to center as shown in the included diagram. The Curt # C15703 is a confirmed fit for the 2001-2010 Chevrolet and GMC 2500/3500 Trucks. If you can tell me what Year/Make/Model your truck is I would be happy...

- Heavy Duty Hitch for my 2003 Chevrolet 2500 HDAfter checking some information it appears that the maximum towing capacity of the 2003 Chevrolet 2500 HD is 12,000 lbs. This would be the max and depending on options it may be lower than that. I recommend using the owner's manual to determine exactly what the towing capacity of your exact configuration is. With that said the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15703 is a very heavy duty hitch which will exceed your vehicle's capacity. The BulletProof Hitches Adjustable 2-Ball Mount for...
view full answer... - Distance Between Mounting Holes of Draw-Tite Hitch DT45519By mounting hole dimensions I assume you are asking about the distance between them, and that distance is 39 inches for the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT45519. That is the same distance between the mounting holes as the similar hitch from Curt which also has a 2-1/2 inch receiver and fits a 2007 Chevy, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15703. I have added links below to the installation instructions of both hitches for you to check out.

This hitch will allow you to use the Titan Hitch Box Extension for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches, 41" - 48" Long # RP45018. This will give you a towing ability of 4,000 lbs at full length so your aluminum 19 foot fishing boat, motor, and trailer should be well under the rated capacity. I then recommend using wiring extension # C56080 which can be cut down from...

Several of these are TorkLift dual-receiver hitches that would almost surely NOT be compatible with your Tommy Gate so I have taken the requested measurement on the other three hitches from Curt and B&W. Note that Curt offers both 2-inch and 2-1/2-inch receivers for your truck. Part # C15302 is a 2-inch and part # C15703 is a 2-1/2-inch. The following...
view full answer... - Recommended Extended Ball Mount for 2 ReceiverThe longest hitch extender that fits a 2" receiver is going to be the 18" Draw-Tite Hitch Extender item # HE18. You would need to change out the hitch in your 2005 Chevy Silverado 3500 to the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C15703 to use the Hitch Box Extension and Reducer for Titan 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches item # RP45292 as it only fits 2-1/2" hitches.
view full answer... - Curt Class V Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2005 GMC Sierra 2500 Long BedI checked with Curt and they list trailer hitch # C15312 as a fit for a 2005 GMC Sierra 2500 or 3500, 8 foot bed with factory cutout bumper only. If your truck does not have the factory cutout bumper then I recommend # C15703 (2-1/2 inch receiver opening). If the truck has the 10 inch deep drop cowboy bumper then I recommend # C15313.
view full answer... - Distance from Bumper to Top of Curt Trailer Hitch C15703 on a 2005 Chevy Silverado 2500Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15703 hangs pretty low on a 2005 Chevy Silverado 2500. From the bottom of the bumper to the top of the hitch receiver it is approximately 4 inches. I have included a picture showing the gap. A similar hitch, # C15302, which also fits your truck is much tighter to the bumper with only a fraction of an inch of space between the bumper and receiver.

view full answer... - Dimension of Curt Class V Hitch for 2002 GMC Sierra 2500HD with After Market BumperGood news, I was able to go out to our warehouse and measure the Curt Class V Hitch # C15703. This Class V Trailer Hitch has a dimension of almost 5 inches from the top of the bolt holes to the top opening of the receiver hitch opening. This should accommodate the space you require for your after market bumper. This Curt trailer hitch will fit both the 6-1/2 and 8 foot bed sizes of the 2002 GMC Sierra 2500HD. I have linked an install video of the Curt hitch for your convenience.
view full answer... - Will the Curt C15703 Fit a 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed with Factory HitchThe frames of the 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD with short beds aren't going to be any different than standard beds or those trucks with hitches already installed, you just would not be able to install this hitch receiver as part of a dual hitch setup. The Curt # C15703 does not allow for that setup and can only be used as a single installed hitch, but all you would need to do is remove your factory 2" receiver and install this one and it will work just fine. I've linked an installation...
view full answer... - Recommended Class V Trailer Hitch for a 2005 Sierra 2500HDIf you are looking for the most heavy duty option for your 2005 GMC Sierra 2500HD with an 8 foot bed, I suggest the Curt Class V Commercial Duty - 2-1/2" # C15703. This will have a 2,700 pound tongue weight and an 18,000 pound towing capacity.
view full answer... - How to Install a 48 inch Long Hitch Extension on 2005 GMC Sierra 2500For a hitch extension that long you'd have to have a 2-1/2 inch hitch installed on your 2005 GMC Sierra 2500 like the Curt part # C15703 which is a confirmed fit. Once that's installed you'd be able to use a longer extension like the part # RP45018 which measures 48 inches in length.

- Will Installing Curt # C15703 on 2006 Silverado 2500HD Interfere with Larger than Stock Spare TireCurt does not have that measurement available, but you can determine this for yourself by taking some measurements from the underside of your truck. Using the diagram I edited for you, locate the weldnut that would serve as the rear-most attachment point for the hitch. From the center of this bolt hole, measure rearward toward the bumper six inches. From that point, measure forward to the closest point of the differential. If this distance is greater than the diameter of your spare tire,...

- Best Trailer Hitch for a 2008 GMC Sierra 2500The best trailer hitch for your 2008 GMC Sierra 2500 will vary depending on what you're going to use it for and possibly whether you have an 8 ft. or 6-1/2 ft. bed. If you need to haul a lot of weight I would suggest the Curt Class V CD 2-1/2" # C15703. This will get the most out of your truck for your dollar and will work with either length of truck beds. The Curt Class III # 13208 will also work with both bed lengths and would be more appropriate if you're not hauling as much weight. I...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch for a 2001 Silverado 2500HD w/ a 12,000 lbs Capacity Not confusing at all. I took a look online and the 2001 Silverado 2500HD has a 12,000 lbs bumper pull towing capacity and a 15,200 lbs 5th wheel towing capacity. It's just two different capabilities of the truck. The extra weight of a 5th wheel trailer can be better supported when mounted more towards the center of your truck's frame. With the 12,000 lbs capacity in mind, I recommend the B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver item # BWHDRH25182. This is the only hitch available for...

The tie-downs that fit an '06 Silverado 2500HD with a 6-1/2 foot bed and aftermarket hitch do require the hitch to have a side plate with a 4" x 4" footprint, and as you can see by the accompanying photo of the measurements of Curt Hitch # C15703, it does meet those requirements.

Unlike the Curt # C15703 that you mentioned, the receiver for this unit will sit right up against the bottom of your truck's bumper like you are wanting. I have attached a customer-submitted image below of the hitch installed so you can see exactly how it looks. Draw-Tite is an extremely reliable brand...
