1985 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup

The box was roughed up a bit by delivery and one of the bolts is now rolling around in a delivery truck somewhere in America. Anyhow, I contacted etrailer and they got a whole new pack of bolts sent my way. Now I have a ton of extras. Anyhow, the hitch fit my 1985 C30, although I had to drill holes in the frame (easy). It looks super sturdy and was in good shape. No powder coat issues.

This was a direct bolt on hitch for my 1976 c20 chevy crew cab. No drilling on my frame. Very pleased.

1970 GMC C/K Series Pickup

Got my new hitch late last night. I was so glad to get it I had to put it together right then. Its going to be a perfect fit. The hitch is very well built. Very surprised I could find a hitch for a 1970 GMC. I will be pulling my 27 ft Toy hauler after a little more restoration work. Always happy with Etrailer. I'll post more pics when I have it on and hooked up to my trailer

My new hitch from etrailer is working out great. I have pulled my Toy Hauler with my 70 GMC. Trailer weights a little over 9000 lbs. Also did aLS swap on the GMC 6 liter vortec



by:

Fits nicely right under a 10 inch drop bumper on my 97 F-250 HD. Was able to leave the spare tire under there, though I had to grind the latching system a bit to have it fit just right. It is very visible from the sides of the truck along the sides of the frame because of how much it has to drop, but it is not very visible from the rear for those that care about aesthetics.

Hitch has towed everything Ive asked of it. Very solid, no regrets and more importantly no need to ever purchase another one!

I installed this hitch on a 1998
Chevy K3500 with a dump bed. I had to make a slight modification to the truck so that the hitch would bolt up. This included removing a metal shield from under the rear fuel tank, the hitch now offers some protection for the tank. In addition, I had to drill 2 - 1/2” holes in the rear of the frame to install the hitch. The hitch now works great on this older truck, and has been used many times over the past year.



by:

Straight forward install. This is a well built hitch that has taken everything I have thrown at it. The finish has held up well too.

Showed up missing 1 7/16 bolt and 1 7/16 flange nut. I believe it was due to shipping and not the fault of the shipper.

Quality hitch but none of the bolt holes line up, nothing a drill bit can't fix in about 15 minutes, 1972 K-10 Chevy

I thought I had selected the correct Curt receiver and was ready to place an order online, but I decided to call instead. Ashley advised this receiver was the correct one for my bumper. She saved a lot of headache on my part avoiding order the incorrect product. The receiver actually delivered a day earlier than planned. I am impressed with the quality of the product and am planning on an install this weekend, then putting it to work. I will definitely shop etrailer again in the future. From the website, selection of products, knowledgeable associates and fast shipping, I made a good decision shopping here.

Confidence while towing. Everything is as expected. Great purchase.

This hitch is excellent upgrade for my old Dodge dually to safely haul my new dump trailer. Heavy duty gussets around insert area for more peace of mind. Install was straight forward, great price, and etrailer.com got it to me quick.

Hitch has performed flawlessly,with max loads on multiple trips. Dually pretty much stays hitched to dump trailer.

Although I had to "help" a couple holes with a drill the install went very well and looks great on my 83 k20! The holes were only partly off and took a few seconds to line up. Highly recommend curt products from E Trailer!

Still working great after a year of use!



by:
1993 Ford F-250 Super Duty

I installed two of these on 1993 ford trucks a f250 and a f350. Both trucks are 7.3 diesels with heavy cowboy bumpers. Buy high grade drill bits, Don't weld to the frame. Don't expect the spare tire and it's brackets to stay on the trucks and expect to reroute the tailpipe. In the end much more useful than just the bumper for multiple receiver hitch applications and worth the effort to upgrade.



by:

Fit perfect very easy to install, didn’t need to do any drilling and it looks awesome. Shipping was on time. I would buy again.



by:

This hitch was exactly what I needed. It fit my pickup truck perfectly and was easy to install. I use it pull my 14 K trailer to haul my backhoe, cars, and other equipment. I would recommend this hitch. It was a great value for the price. Thanks.

Bolted up perfectly with no modificatio n.



by:
Chevrolet

This hitch went on my 84 K30 Chevy. Very easy once you remove the spare tire and carrier. Way heavy duty but very easy to install. No complaints with hitch whatsoever. The hitch was delivered in a cardboard box that had seen its better days. Box was busted open in several areas but the anvil type quality of the hitch didn't effect it at all. May have been the shipper fault but none the less.



by:

Excellent customer service, fast delivery, well packaged, quality workmanship. Thank you very much.

I love the way it looks an had for a year with no problems hasn’t faded an has held up great thank you

Just as easy to install as other hitches I have installed before.

Fit my 1986 Chevy K20 without having to remove the existing steel tow bumper.

  • Measurement of Curt 3-Piece Trailer Hitch C15511 from End of Mounting Flange to Receiver Tube
    I was able to obtain from Curt a chart showing key dimensions for their 3-Piece Trailer Hitch # C15511 (and other hitch models) that I linked for you. This shows that for hitch # C15511 the overall front-to-back length is just under 24-inches. The height from the top of the mount down to the top of the receiver tube is 8-inches.

  • Possible Trailer Hitch Fit for 1958 Chevy Apache
    The frame dimensions you listed for your truck are pretty standard for cab and chassis style trucks since you said 34 inches from outside to outside on the frame. While we don't have anything custom fit for your truck we do have hitches like the # C15511 which is designed to fit that frame dimension and is designed to fit below a deep drop bumper so it would easily clear your bumper as well.

  • Hitch Recommendation for 1974 Chevy C10 Stepside Pickup
    If your truck has the standard bumper, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite Class 5 hitch, part # 41947. If you have the deep drop bumper, use the Curt # C15511. I've linked you to an FAQ article that explains the difference between the standard and deep drop bumper. If you need to install a 4-pole trailer connector, use # 118311. You might also need a ball mount like # 2753, a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball like #19260 or a 2-inch trailer ball like part # 63845.

  • Curt 3-Piece Hitch Does Not Fit a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
    The Curt 3-Piece Hitch, part # C15511, is a confirmed fit for only one style of the 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 3500: the Cab and Chassis style. There are two additional styles of the 3500: the Standard Pickup and the Pickup with a 10 Inch Deepdrop Bumper. Unfortunately, if you have either of the Pickups, this hitch will not fit. Whichever you have, you can return the 3-Piece and get the correct hitch for your Silverado. If you have the Standard Pickup, I recommend getting the Curt Class...

  • Recommended 15K Hitch For 1997 Ford F-250 With 34 Frame
    The only option that provides 15,000 gross towing weight capacity is the Curt Class V Receiver Hitch - 1997 Ford F-250 and F-350 Heavy Duty part # C15511 which is designed for the 34" frame but is also a universal fit hitch so there is drilling into the frame required. All of the hitches available for this truck do require some drilling so this is your best option.

  • Compatibility of a Hitch for a 1972 Chevrolet K Series Truck
    The Curt # C15511 hitch is the confirmed fit for a 1972 Chevrolet K Series truck if you have the 8 foot bed and the deep drop rear bumper. The measurement from the top of the tube to the mounting flange is 8-1/32 inches. The extended length was to make sure the hitch would clear the bumper. If you have the standard bumper, then the Curt Hitch # C14082 is the confirmed fit. If # C15511 can be installed on the standard bumper model, then there will be a large gap between the bumper and...

  • Class V Trailer Hitch Fit for 1993 Ford F350
    Because the mounting flange of the Curt # C15511 Class V hitch has 3 tabs on each side, rather than a continuous mounting flange like many other hitches, it'll fit around the rivet shown in your photo. However, be aware that the Curt # C15511 is a fit for cab/chassis models only and won't fit a vehicle that has a standard truck bed on it. Chassis/cab models have a narrower frame which is why this hitch wouldn't work on a pickup model. If you have a pickup model with the 37-1/2 inch frame...

  • What is Best Trailer Hitch for 1992 Ford F-150 with Deep Drop Bumper
    For a 1992 Ford F-150 with a deep drop bumper like what you mentioned the best 2 inch hitch we have is the Curt # C15511 which has higher towing capacities than the truck and does allow you to keep the rear mounted spare under it. You should note that any towing setup is only as strong as it's weakest component so what that means is this hitch would not limit you beyond what your truck's towing capacity is but you'd still need to stay under the truck's capacity.

  • Are Mounting Holes of Curt Hitch 15300 the Same as 15511 for 1996 Ford F-250 and F-350
    The mounting holes are going to be slightly different for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15300 that fits a standard or step bumper on a 1996 Ford F-250 or F-350 compared to the Curt 3-Piece Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15511 that fits the same truck with a deep drop bumper. So due to that it seems you will need to drill new holes for installation of the Curt 3-Piece Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15511. I have added a link below to the installation instructions if you'd like to check those out.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 1977 Chevy C10 Pick-up with 6 Foot Step Side Bed
    We do have trailer hitches that will fit your 1977 Chevy C10 short bed but # C13099 is only for long bed models. For your truck you can use Curt trailer hitch # 13028 unless it has the 10 inch deep drop bumper. If it does have the deep drop bumper you can use # C15511. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend 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 bag. If the ball...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 1989 Ford F-250
    Due to the weight of your trailer, you are going to want to install a frame mounted trailer hitch on your 1989 Ford F-250. The weight capacity of the trailer is going to far exceed the weight capacity of the bumper as I am sure you have already figured out. They also do not make any sort of kit to strengthen the rear bumper to my knowledge therefore the frame mounted trailer hitch will be your best option. For this, I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15511. This...

  • How Does Curt Hitch C15511 Fit Both 34 & 37-1/2 Inch Frames on 1993 Ford Super Duty
    That's a really good question, and the reason the Curt 3-Piece Trailer Hitch Receiver - Multi Fit # C15511 is able to fit both 34 inch and 37-1/2 inch frames on your 1993 Ford is due to the placement of the side plates. If you take a look of the photo I added you can see it has side plates which do not come attached. To fit this to a 37-1/2 inch frame on your '93 Ford you will attach the side plates with the bolt holes facing outward, and to fit the hitch to a 34 inch frame you will attach...

  • Comparing Regular and Deep Drop Bumper Trailer Hitches for a 1964 Chevy 1/2 Ton Truck
    A standard bumper looks like a regular old bumper that goes straight across at the top and bottom and might have a cut out in the center for a license plate but the cutout does not drop below the bottom of the bumper. A deep drop bumper will have the cut out in the middle but drops below the bottom of the bumper (at the center) so that it angles up from the center to the outer edges of the bumper.

    The Curt hitch you mentioned is more of a multi fit hitch and would not be the best choice for your truck, but we do have a couple options. The closest fitting, but still probably not close enough would be the # 37133 which has it's hitch opening 7-1/4 inches down below the frame mounting surface. This isn't quite enough though as you'd need 1/8 of an inch more. The # C15316 does drop a bit more than what you'd need but it's going to be best fitting option. Other choice you have would...

    The Curt 3-Piece Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15511 is designed to fit a frame that is 34" or 37-1/2" across on the inside of the rails. I recommend the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41990-07 as with your frame having been repaired on your Chevrolet 3500. The brackets on this frame are able to be placed where they are needed and then welded into position. This is helpful in case the frame is still not exactly square or level.

But to answer your question the distance between the side plates is 33-3/8 inches and the hole center to hole center distance is 36 inches. I measured them myself.

    We do offer trailer hitch options for a 1972 Ford F-250 but as far as the flatbed goes, this will be up to you to decide as none of our options are designed for this use. However, the best option would be to go with one that is designed for models with a deep drop tube bumper as this would give you the best chance of compatibility.
