Hitch is very heavy duty but seemed to have been delivered by Ace Ventura. Was very scratched up. Hitch bolted right up on a 2007 GMC 1500 HD. The height of the hitch exactly matched the original. Spare tire does not need to be removed. Per the instructions, you are supposed to re-use the existing aft most frame bolts. Be aware that if you use those, they only engage the weld nut by 3/16 of an inch. That is short of fully maximizing the weld nut. Ideally, the bolt threads should go all the way thru the weld nut plus about 2 threads. I replaced those aft bolts with longer ones that fully engage the weld nut. Since the new hitch does not attach to the bumper, I fabbed a custom Z bracket, using 2 pieces of angle iron, to help carry the load. The light plug assy needed to also be modified. The factory angle is 90 degrees, but the wire harness would bot engage the plug assy. I modified the plug bracket as can be seen in the photos.

Product is alright. As stated in other reviews, the cut outs for the safety chain hooks are poorly designed.



by:
Chevrolet

I bought this for my 02 Chevy 1500HD. It bolted on perfectly and is ideal for pulling heavier loads. I’ve pulled max payload loads for the truck with this new hitch and it has worked with no trouble. Would suggest to anyone.



by:

Website said it would fit perfectly for my 2004 Chevy 2500HD. It did not. I had no option to return as I needed to tow the following day so had to work into the night to customize it which therefore I wouldn’t be able to return. I had to use a torch to cut a section out of both sides on the hitch to have it fit around the spring shackle and had to use the torch to make a new bolt hole in the frame closest to the front for that bolt hole. Also drops the receiver an inch lower than the factory height. Was not at all happy but was thankful I had the tools to make it work. Worst thing I hate is that it’s dropped lower than the stock receiver height.

I am sorry to hear that this hitch did not fit your application. I see that this hitch is not a confirmed fit for any of the Chevy HDs. This is only a confirmed fit for the Chevy 2500LD and 1500.

The trailer hitch is great simple installation but I had to change hooks on my chain from my trailer other than that top notch

always a good experience with etrailer, thats why i come back.

Mack Trucks

I brought this to my local garage to install it, and they were amazed at the quality. They wondered if I was going to start to haul Mack trucks around or what? It has had zero defects all the holes lined up perfectly to my truck.



by:
2005 GMCSierra

This is a heavy duty 2" receiver trailer hitch (C1523). The 3/8" steel it is made of is the way to go. Aside from the capacity of the hitch one really great features is that the safety chain hook holes are large enough for 3/8" clevis slip hooks. Most hitches don't seem to have holes that are too small.

2013 Chevrolet Silverado

Shipment was quick.After getting the a socket deep enough to remove the old bolts from the light duty hitch on my 2013 Silverado, The installation was straight forward and simple with the help of my wife and son. Thanks etrailer.

Great price, quick shipping even with the pandemic going on. Had a little trouble installing this heavy duty hitch by myself but went on very easy with no issues.
I have not pulled anything yet, but don't expect any issues with this 16k rating on a 1/2 ton truck.

This is an excellent upgrade to the OEM hitch. Installation was easy and the spare tire can remain in it's original location.

Ford

I had purchased a 2006 gmc savanna Thomas short bus and needed a hitch for it. The frame was not a normal savanna width. Searching the etrailer site I found drawings of a hitch I believed would work. I needed to enlarge 2 holes to 5/8inch, clean up 2 1/2 inch holes, and drill 2. 1/2 inch holes. In the end I spent more time running to store to get a needed drill bit. The hitch was installed in less then an hour. This was my 2nd hitch from etrailer the last one went on a Ford e350. Had it on in 20 minutes with my sons help. Both hitches purchased were over kill but the xtra capacity is nothing but piece of mind.



by: 02/01/2024

Only problem with this kit is the attaching screws. They were usless. I ended up thru bolting with bolts and nuts.



by:

Does the job. Pretty easy to install, other than somewhat heavy (needed a spare set of hands). Had to drop down spare tire to get the hitch up. Even then, spare tire is still touching hitch (tight fit).



by:
2007 Chevrolet Silverado New Body

Bought this hitch receiver to replace the old rusted out factory hitch receiver. Bolted right up with no need to drop the spare tire. The differences between this hitch receiver and the factory one are night and day. This thing is solid. My truck will pull apart before this receiver hitch fails. Way overkill for my needs, but I will never worry about a receiver hitch failure!



by:
2010 Chevrolet Silverado

Very happy with this. Truly bolt on installation without having to modify anything. Definitely seems much stronger than the factory hitch. Its pretty heavy and awkward to do by yourself but its manageable. It took me roughly 20 minutes from start to finish. I no longer have to worry about my hitch while towing.



by:

Fast delivery on a great hitch

Very fast delivery.

  • High Capacity Trailer Hitch for a 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500 that Sits Tight to Rear Bumper
    The hitch opening of both Curt hitches you mentioned are going to sit right under the bumper of your 2013 Chevy Silverado. Check out the picture I attached that shows the # C15323 installed on a truck like yours. I attached an install video for you to check out as well. Be sure you don't exceed the towing capacity of your truck that is stated in the owners manual as well.

  • Hitch and Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a 2014 Silverado 1500
    In a towing setup you always have to use the lowest rated component as the overall towing capacity. The Curt Hitch part # C15323 that you referenced has much higher capacities than what your vehicle has. All that means is that the hitch portion of your setup wouldn't fail if you went above your capacity, but your vehicle would most likely. If the max capacity with weight distribution for your vehicle is 1,200 lb tongue weight and 12,000 total weight that is the max you could do with this...

  • How Far Down Does Curt Trailer Hitch C15323 Hang from Frame on a 2002 GMC Sierra 2500
    First I should mention that Curt trailer hitch # C15323 will only fit your 2002 GMC Sierra 2500 if it is an LD (light duty) model. It will not fit a 2500HD (heavy duty) model. But on the hitch it measures approximately 6-1/2 inches from the rear most attachment point (on the vehicle) to the top of the cross tube and 9 inches to the bottom (the cross tube is approximately 2-1/2 inches square). Take a look at the picture I added with these measurements.

  • Recommended Class V Trailer Hitch Receiver For A 2003 Chevy Silverado 2500
    Hey David, For a 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500 with a 6.5' bed you'll want the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15323. You'll want an extra set of hands to help lift the hitch into place but this is an easy peasy installation overall so you can definitely save a few bucks completing it yourself at home. I've attached a short video below where we'll help walk you through the process.

  • Will the Curt Class V Trailer Hitch # C15323 Fit a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab Short Bed
    Yes, according to Curt, the Curt Class V Trailer Hitch, # C15323, will fit your 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab short bed. This hitch will not use the same bumper attachment as the factory hitch, so you will not need to worry about the height difference from the lift kit. I have attached the installation instructions for this hitch as well as an installation video on a 2008 Silverado for you to check out. Keep in mind, this hitch will not increase the towing capacity of your truck....

    Curt trailer hitch # C15323 will fit your step side 2001 Chevy Silverado as long as it has the factory step bumper. It will not fit if it has the roll pan or deep drop bumper. The truck having a step side bed does not affect the fit or the instructions. I have included a link to the instructions for you to view. I have also included a link to a video showing a typical installation. I also recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK2416. It comes with a ball mount, 2 balls, a hitch pin...

  • What If The Bolt Holes On The Bumper Are Rusted Away On My 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500?
    The 2 bolts that go into the bumper portion of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C14332 are a required part of the installation. Curt will void any warranty on the hitch if it is not installed properly as per their instructions. There is no way to know how the receiver will respond without those bolts as they did not test the receiver without those bolts installed. If you wish to install this receiver I recommend either having the rusted section cut out and replaced or having the reinforcement...

  • Trailer Hitch that Fits Tight Against Bumper on a 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500
    The B&W hitch # BWHDRH25217 receiver would sit a few inches below the bumper on your 2011 Chevy Silverado. The Class V hitches for the 2011 Silverado 1500 are like that with the other option being Curt hitch # C15323, see video. Curt has a Class III hitch, # 13322, that fits up tight against the bumper.

If you have the 2WD 5.3 L V8 with a Crew Cab and a Short Box then your maximum trailer weight is either 6,800 lbs (LMG K5L HD Cooling Pkg), 7,000 lbs (K5L HD Cooling Pkg XFE), or 9,000 lbs (K5L HD Cooling Pkg).

For your Silverado 1500HD I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15323. It has a maximum trailer weight of 16,000lbs or 17,000 with weight distribution hitch and 2,400lbs of tongue weight. This will not allow you to carry more than what your truck is rated for. I recommend contacting your dealer with your vin number for...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For A Vehicle With A 32" Frame Width
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15323 has a 39" distance from center to center of the mounting holes so it's not going to be a good candidate for your application. Since you can weld the best option is going to be an adjustable-fit weld-on hitch. We have a few different options depending on the drop you'll need: 3" # 15901 7" # 41990-07 9" # C47CR 11" # 15903 16" # 41990-16 The crosstube of these trailer hitches can be cut down to size to fit your vehicle's frame width.

  • Does Installation Hardware for CURT Trailer Hitch # C15323 Have Same Weight Capacity as the Hitch
    The CURT Trailer Hitch, # C15323, is rated for 17,000 pounds gross trailer weight when used with weight distribution. The bolts will be rated the same. You will want to check the vehicle owners manual to determine its specific tow capacities. Whichever is lower, the vehicle or the hitch, is the weight capacity you will need to go by.

  • Hitch Receiver for 2001 Chevy Silverado with Roll Pan Bumper That Does Not Use License Plate Hole
    You are correct. For the 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500, the Curt # 13932 is the only available hitch that can be used with the roll pan bumper. If you wanted to use one of the hitches designed to circumvent the deep drop bumpers that were often found on this model you could use the Curt # 13339. However, this is still a Class III hitch receiver, so it would not increase your towing capacity and there is not anything for use with an aftermarket roll pan bumper that is higher rated than that....

  • Will Curt Hitch 13322 Fit 2006 Chevy Silverado and Tow 7,600 lb Trailer
    The Curt hitch you ordered part # 13322 has a capacity of 10k when used with a weight distribution system so your trailer that weighs 7,600 lbs loaded would easily work with this hitch. You will have to be sure to use the weight distribution system you have though at all times. The # C15323 does have much higher capacities and would also work but would not be needed for your setup as long as you use the WD sytem.
