Repeat customer due to the best price & customer service. This Curt 10" drop hitch arrived in great condition and in a timely manner. Have used etrailer for all my towing / wiring needs and will continue to do so...

Thanks

Needed to replace a hitch with a specific drop and this was the only place it could be found. It shipped short of some hardware which was quickly corrected with another shipment.

I took off the spring assist hitch that came on the truck when I bought it but I wanted to keep the 10” drip bumper, this worked perfect for that.

  • 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...

  • Curt Hitch Bolt Holes Will Not Line Up on 1998 Chevy K3500
    So there's one of two things going on here if your Curt 3-Piece Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15511 isn't lining up properly on your 1998 Chevy K3500 pickup. The first possibility, and the most likely, is that the hitch was slightly bent, or "flexed" during shipping. This is unfortunately common but also relatively easily remedied; I have added a link to a help article entitled "My Trailer Hitch Doesn't Fit" for you to check out which has solutions. The other possibility is that you have the...

The Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41947 is designed to fit your Chevrolet with the standard or step bumper.

  • What is the Width of Curt Class V Trailer Hitch # C15317
    I spoke with Curt about trailer hitch # C15317 and the width. From the center of one bolt hole to the center of the other, left to right, it is 34-3/8 inches. A detailed or CAD drawing is not available because that is proprietary information. Keep in mind this is a custom fit hitch. So if you have a 1988 to 2000 Chevy or GMC C/K series truck with a 10 inch deep drop bumper then this is the correct hitch for you.

It will not fit if your GMC has a roll pan, or deep drop bumper. For a deep drop bumper Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15317 is the one I recommend. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13942 will fit with a roll pan rear bumper of 1500 series trucks. You will need a Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # 41125 to give you a 4-way flat...

  • How To Find Correct Trailer Hitch Fit for 1993 Chevy K3500
    I have a few different trailer hitch options for a 1993 Chevy K3500. In order to choose the correct one you'll need to first determine if you have a cab and chassis model or a standard pickup. If you have a cab and chassis then you'll need to use the Curt 3-Piece Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15511 but if not I simply recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15317 which is for standard pickup models. Unfortunately, the flanges of these hitch can be reversed and the mounting...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 1998 GMC Pickup with 10 Inch Deep Drop Bumper
    To get the highest towing capacity available on your 1998 GMC Truck I suggest the Curt Class V Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15317. This hitch has a gross trailer weight of 16,000 pounds and maximum tongue weight of 2,400 pounds. Of course you'll want to verify your truck's towing capacity since it will be the limited factor. All of the hardware is included to bolt this to your truck's frame. If you also need a ball mount, # C45340. This will keep you around the same weight capacity as...

  • Would Curt Hitch C15317 Fit 1996 Chevy K2500 with DMI Drop Bumper
    The Curt hitch part # C15317 is a confirmed fit for a 1996 Chevy K2500 with a 10 inch drop bumper. If the DMI bumper you have is a 10 inch drop bumper this hitch would work well for you. I looked up pictures of your bumper and it appears to be a standard 10 inch drop bumper so this should work well.

  • What is the Height of the Side Mounting Brackets for the Curt Class V Trailer Hitch # C15317

    What you will want to do is look at the hitches available for the 1996 Chevy K1500 with 10 inch deep drop bumper. These hitches come down lower and could work for you. Curt hitch # C15317 has the highest capacity of the options at 2,400 pounds tongue weight capacity and 16,000 pounds gross trailer weight capacity. But it measures 7-1/4 inches from the bottom of the frame to the top of the receiver. Check your truck to see if your could get away with 7-1/4 inches. If it will not work then...

  • Comparison Between Class V Hitches That Are Welded Together And Hitches That Are Bolted Together

The tongue weight capacity is 2,400 lbs and 2,400 lbs when used with weight distribution. This hitch is designed to be used on trucks without a 10 inch step bumper. This is a Class V hitch and has a 2 inch receiver opening. Another Class V hitch that may work for you if your truck has the 10 inch step bumper is part # C15317. This has the same characteristics as the # C15325,...

  • Hitch and Brake Controller for 2000 GMC Sierra 3500 Pickup
    The 2000 model year was a split year for GMC pickups so checking hitch fits can be tricky. Curt Class V hitch # C15400 fits only the cab-and-chassis versions from 2001 forward; it does not fit your 2000 GMC Sierra 3500 pickup. If your 2000 Sierra pickup has a 10-inch deep-drop bumper you can use Curt Class V hitch # C15317. If it has a standard or step bumper you can use Class V hitch # C15325. If your Sierra has a factory 7-way you can install a trailer brake controller like the Prodigy...

  • Will the Curt Class V Hitch for a 1990 Chevy C/K Series Fit Both Short and Long Bed Models
    In regards to the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15317 which is a fit for a 1990 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup with 10" Deep Bumper, the installation will be the same for both short 6.5' and long 8' beds.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Drop Heights For Tommy Gate Lift On a 1996 Chevrolet C2500 Pickup
    While we do not have a receiver that is specifically designed to work with your 1996 Chevrolet C2500 having the Tommy liftgate, I do have some measurements that may help you determine if one will fit your truck. You will need to measure the height from the frame mounts to where the top of the receiver will be to determine if it will clear the Tommy Liftgate. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15325 is 4-1/4" from the frame mounts to the top of the receiver. This is designed for trucks...

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 1998 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Service Body
    Since your 1998 Chevy Silverado 2500HD has a service bed on it currently that would indicate that I spoke to my contacts at Curt and Reese and the only styles of hitches that can be made to fit a service body truck like yours are multi-fit RV hitches like the # 41990 that has a 16k capacity. This is a weld on hitch that would require either the 7 inch drop brackets part # 4907 or the 16 inch brackets part # 4916.

  • Parts Recommendation to Tow a 7,500 lb Trailer with a 2000 Chevy C1500 Truck
    First let's start with a hitch, if you do not have a 10 inch deep drop bumper you would want the Curt Hitch part # C15325. If you do have a drop bumper you would want the Curt Hitch part # C15317. Now for wiring you will need to start with a 4-way like the Tow Ready Wiring Kit part # 118315. To convert this to a 7-way and install a brake controller you will need the Brake Controller Installation and 7-Way Install kit part # ETBC7.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 1989 GMC K1500 4WD W/ 10 Drop Bumper
    For your 1989 GMC K1500 4WD Extended Cab with the 10" Drop bumper I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V XD - 2" # C15317 as it is designed to work with the 10" drop bumper on your truck, and has a 2400lb tongue weight rating and a 16000lb trailer weight rating making it a very heavy duty hitch. While this hitch has high ratings your truck may not so I recommend checking the owner's manual to find your trucks towing capacity and using the lower ratings between...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For A 1982 Ford F-350 DRW With Deep Bumper
    Since your 1982 Ford F-350 DRW has the Deep Bumper I recommend the Curt 3-Piece Trailer Hitch Receiver - Multi Fit - Class V - 2" # C15511 as it will work with both 34" and 37-1/2" wide frames so you will not have an issue. The # C15317 you were looking at is only confirmed to fit the 1988-2000 Chevrolet C/K series pickups with the 10" drop bumper and would not fit your F-350. Keep in mind that while the # C15511 has a 1500lb tongue weight rating and 15000lbs trailer weight rating your...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Long Ball Mount For 1994 Chevrolet C2500 Pickup With drop Bumper
    Since you have a drop bumper on your 1994 Chevrolet C2500, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C15317. This is designed to work with the bumper you have on your truck. I also recommend the Brophy Heavy Duty Extra Long Ballmount, part # BH20. This ball mount works with a 2-inch receiver opening and measures 13-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the hitch ball hole.

  • Correct Curt Trailer Hitch for 1994 Chevy 3500 Pickup with Cowboy Bumper
    The Curt 3-Piece Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15511 is designed for cab and chassis models of the 1994 Chevy 3500 pickups. From what I could find it looks like your Cowboy Bumper is the 10" deep drop bumper so you'll want the Curt Class V Hitch # C15317 instead. This has bolt holes that are spaced 34-3/8" apart on center so you'd actually be measuring to the center of the mounting locations instead of the outside of your frame. The installation instructions have been linked for you to check out.

This particular hitch will not fit your Chevy c2500 that has the factory roll pan bumper. For your truck, I instead recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch # 41522.
