This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your Chevrolet Silverado's frame with no welding required. Matte black, powder coated steel is durable and corrosion resistant and creates a rugged look.
Features:
Specs:
The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.
At etrailer we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers. The one-on-one, personal service you'll receive comes straight from an expert in the towing and automotive field. We've installed it, we've wired it and we've towed with it, so whatever your question, we can answer it.

This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Matte black, powder coated steel is durable and corrosion resistant and creates a rugged look.It's an exact fit. I was able to install it on my own in 20 minutes. It is heavy, so be prepared to have a freind nearby because most of the struggle you'll have is threading the bolts, but my tip is to get one started under the bumper, then move on and repeat that until they're all started, then proceed to tighten it all down.
DO NOT FORGET to torque them down after tightening.
The picture I uploaded with this review shows it looks totally stock.
I absolutely recommend this hitch, eTrailer had the best price both for the hitch itself, AND for shipping.
The hitch is great, nice construction and perfect fit. All of the necessary hardware was included.

I am still happy with the hitch, what really made the difference for me was the hardware included, it really made installation easy.
Got both items in 3 days and they went on without a "hitch". The trailer connector socket is very easy to install also! They both look awesone!!

Been a year and its still just like new no problems at all sure glad I made this purchase
The hitch lines up with the underbody frame, but not with the mounting holes under my new bumper. Need to find a way to make it fit under the bumper. Any suggestions are welcome.

Really nice product.
Perfect fit for my 2011 silverado new hardware, product quality is pristine, honestly looks original beside the fact the original one used 3 bolts on the frame this only uses 2 not complaining at all would definitely recommend to everyone
The hitch receiver that I ordered was in stock and arrived at my house quicker than I expected. Removing the old hitch and installing the new one took about half an hour. The included hardware worked perfectly.

Ive been using this hitch for about a year and it has lived up to my expectations. The safety chain holes are big enough for my chain hooks to hook in them easily. My original equipment hitch was difficult to hook them into.
After 1 year of ownership I am very happy. Does its job. Simple to set up with wrenches and came with instructions in case. They also make videos for YouTube certified mechanics. Have pulled upwards of the tow capacity rated for my truck with no issues whatsoever. Great coat of paint no cracking or surface rust yet. Quick shipping, e trailer takes their business seriously.
Probably one of the best upgrades I’ve made for my truck aside from the add-on reverse/rear camera kit that I also purchased here. Can’t say enough good things about this company. If I need something else I will come here first. 11/10
The class 3 hitch is very nice. Beautiful welds and finish. Very solid and heavy duty. I'm really happy with the hitch.
The issue I had was I'm a DIY'er, emphasis on the "Y". So when it came time to install, I found myself under the truck, holding he hitch up with my knees as I fumbled around trying to get a new bolt into the welded on nut. I ended up using the original bolts to secure the hitch, then swapped the old bolts out for the new one by one.
The reason this worked was a chamfer on the old bolt. Made it very easy to find the threads and start the bolt. Attached is a picture. Overall the bolt looks pretty good after being under the truck for 15 years.
As I said the hitch itself is well made and I am very satisfied with what I bought. Maybe you can consider a slightly different bolt.
Great products and customer service if I ever need anything for my truck or trailers this is where I will be had to replace my old receiver off my 06 silverdo couldn't hav been easier
Well Etrailer did excellent job, correct product good fit and quality for the price (all though when I looked at just a 6 bolt pattern I was double checking the order an confirm with the invoice and read the hardware instructions this is what is used on a class III 2" hitch ) , all hardware included , easy to follow directions and very fast shipping (bonus free shipping on this item ) this hitch went on my 2013 GMC Sierra " without a hitch" the rest is up to you, invest in some good rust penetrating spray apply 24hrs before and good luck
I ordered a hitch for 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 and you send a hitch that fits Toyota …. I have already took the old hitch down and now I go without a hitch … thanks for noticing

Michael, I am sorry about shipping the incorrect hitch to you. We will have the correct one sent for your 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 ASAP.
Bolted up just fine.
One improvement would be a predrilled spot to attach plate for wire harness.

After a year, pulling a friend or two out of the snow or towing with in limit, Ive been happy with it. When I first called and ordered it they it would fit. Could not have lined up better. Two man job but a good investment. Would order again in the future.
Great product, great customer service and a wonderful company to deal with. I highly recommend buying from Etrailer

Works great! No issues at all 1 year later. Great product, great company.
We are a car dealer in central PA and have bought several Receivers and various wiring products from etrailer, we have yet to be disappointed. Fast shipping, Quality products, and an easy to use web site!
My old hitch receiver was rusted out so I needed a new one asap. This was easier to install than it was to get my old one off and it seems very good quality for the price!
Well I was really happy with the quality and workmanship but I had to use a cutting torch and welder to move the bumper support bracket it was .5 “ off center front to back.
we needed to replace the factory hitch because of rust in the tube.
this hitch does not have as many mounting points as the stock hitch
The wrong bolt package for attaching it to the truck was sent . I had to go and purchase bolts that would actually work . I was really frustrated about that .
Installed on an ‘07 Silverado - 2WD, 4.3L, V6. Handles my boat & trailer great! Put it to the ultimate test on an 8hr. move to TN, pullin my brother’s fully loaded, 7.5’ x 16’ dual axle trailer - No problems!
works great was fast shipping good heavy duty etrailer is the place to buy great stuff

works great well made still looks good
Trailer hitch fit perfect on my 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500. Thank you for the instructional video which made installation super easy!
This is a great piece of equipment. I sits a little higher than the orgional, but I already have a drop down hitch. Fits perfectly, only took about 1.5 hours from start to finish.
Works great! I haul a lot of crap with this trailer receiver and hasn't failed me yet!
Shipped on time, product fit as expected and came with necessary hardware. Very simple install.
