Expert Answers about Chevrolet Bumper Hitch


  • Does the Curt Hitch C15398 Support the Bumper on a 2013 Toyota Tundra?
  • That is correct. There is nothing to support the bumper when you install the Curt Hitch item # C15398 on a 2013 Toyota Tundra. That hitch was designed for the trucks without the factory hitch so there's no reason for it to have built in support for the bumper. It'll work on the Tundra's that came with a factory hitch so long as you get everything out of the way including the factory hitch's bumper support. It is not necessary to support the bumper with an aftermarket hitch like the Curt...

  • On the Curt hitch part # C13206 the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest point out on the bumper will be right at 2-1/2 inches.

  • Distance from Bumper to Top of Curt Trailer Hitch C15703 on a 2005 Chevy Silverado 2500

  • Capacity of Clamp-On RV Bumper 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver # S64025 with Anti-Rattle
  • The limiting factor is not the capacity of RV bumper hitch # S64025. The main issue is the capacity of the bumper. You will need to contact the RV manufacturer to find out the specifications for your bumper. Also, you will have to be certain you have the right bumper, as this hitch is designed exclusively for 4 inch by 4 inch continuous-welded steel bumpers. This adapter is not compatible with aluminum or spot-welded steel bumpers. There is no drilling required, as the hitch slips over...

  • What Determines Cargo Weight Limit for Hitch Carrier Installed on RV Bumper Hitch
  • The amount of actual cargo weight you can safely transport on a hitch cargo carrier installed in a bumper-mounted hitch is determined by the lowest-rated component. Those components consist of the RV's bumper, the hitch such as # UF35-946401 that is mounted on it, and the cargo carrier itself. The lowest-rated of the three items will determine overall capacity. If you have a 500-lb-rated cargo carrier like Curt # C18151 and install this in the 200-lb-rated Ultra-Fab RV Hitch # UF35-946401...

  • Capacity of Swagman RV Bumper Trailer Hitch # S64025 with Anti-Rattle
  • I spoke with my contact at Swagman, the manufacturer of the RV bumper trailer hitch # S64025, and he stated that the capacity is going to be about 100 pounds, but no higher. So if your cargo carrier and generator are 200 pounds, I would advise against installing this particular hitch for your application. We have another bumper mounted hitches that would be a bit more heavy duty. The Curt RV bumper hitch # E-100 could handle up to 350lbs of tongue weight. We do also carry frame mounted...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2024 Toyota Highlander With Most Bumper Clearance
  • There are actually two trailer hitches that fit your 2024 Toyota Highlander that have the best bumper clearance, which are the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e75ZR and Curt Trailer Hitch # C99FR. Both of these hitches measure just 2 inches from the hitch pin hole to the edge of the bumper. These are also otherwise the same hitch, with the only difference being the matte black coat of the # e75ZR vs. the glossy powder coat of the # C99FR, so I'd just go with the best price between the two.

  • RV Hitches and Weight Capacities for Using Hitch-Mounted Wheelchair Lift
  • Curt's bumper-mounted RV hitch # E-100 itself has a tongue weight (TW) rating of 350-lbs. This means that if the RV bumper can also handle this much weight that a wheelchair lift and chair with a combined weight of up to 350-lbs could be transported. Not all RV bumpers can handle such an additional load. If you check with Jayco using your trailer's VIN they should be able to tell you if the bumper can handle a hitch being attached to it and what the bumper's weight-carrying capacity is. We...
