Expert Answers about Chevrolet Bumper Hitch


  • Difference in Above Bumper and Below Bumper Front Receiver Hitch for 2004 Jeep Wrangler
  • I would recommend to first check with the manufacturer of the hitch mount deer feeder to see if they recommend an above bumper hitch or a below bumper hitch on the front of your 2004 Jeep Wrangler. Depending on the style of the deer feeder you have you might need to have clearance from the bumper, so an above bumper hitch might work better for that application. The installation of the above bumper hitch like Curt Front Hitch, part # 31408, on your 2004 Jeep Wrangler, is listed as a 30...

  • RV Bumper Hitch Recommendation that Can Mount Below Bumper
  • I have a solution for you, but the RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # S64025 that you referenced can only be used with the hitch opening on top of the bumper. Instead you would want the Ultra-Fab 2" Motor Home Trailer Hitch # UF35-946401. This hitch can be used with the opening on the bottom of the bumper. Be sure not to exceed the weight capacity of your bumper, check the owners manual of your vehicle for more info on that.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2004 Chevy Silverado 1500 with Aftermarket Rear Bumper
  • I have the perfect option for you in the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13339 which is a confirmed fit for a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 model and actually designed specially for models with an aftermarket bumper. As you can see, there are no mounting tabs to attach to the bumper so you will not have any worries here and the receiver tube has a deep drop to clear larger aftermarket rear bumpers. The above Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver is actually the only option we have that is designed...

  • Is There a Trailer Hitch for a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited X That Fits Behind The Rear Bumper
  • I do have options for you but if you are looking for a trailer hitch that sits behind the rear bumper cutout then you would need to go with a factory hitch as all of the aftermarket hitches install below the rear bumper fascia. The factory hitches are going to be much more expensive than aftermarket hitches though so if you want to save some money then I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75699 as it will be the most hidden option we have for you and only the...

  • Recommended RV Trailer Hitch to Tow 4 Wheeler on Small Trailer
  • As long as the bumper on y our 2016 Coachmen Catalina Trailer is rated to tow a small trailer, then the bumper mount Curt RV Bumper 2 Inch Trailer HItch Receiver # E-100 will work. The receiver itself has a 350 pound tongue weight and 3,500 pound gross towing weight capacity, however I do recommend checking with the trailer manufacturer to verify the capacity of the bumper.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2002 Chevy Silverado with Factory Hitch
  • For your 2002 Chevy Silverado you will need to go with a hitch that will fit trucks that do have a factory trailer hitch. For that you would want the Draw Tite hitch part # 41944 which will fit your truck once you remove the factory hitch. This attaches to bumper brackets near the frame but not to the bumper itself.

  • Can a Cargo Carrier be Used on a Bumper Mount Hitch to Carry Generators on an RV
  • If you plan on carrying generators I would not use a bumper mounted hitch. The fact that the bumper is rated for a bike carrier says to me that you don't want to put anything else on it. A loaded bike carrier isn't all that heavy. But a cargo carrier with generators on it can create a lot of stress. A frame mounted hitch should be used. I included a link to the frame mount RV hitches we carry. Regarding how far out the basket would be on a bumper mounted hitch it depends on the hitch....

  • Recommendation for a Trailer Hitch that Mounts to a Bumper Pull Hitch
  • It sounds like you are describing a bumper hitch with a ball. What you can do is remove the ball and install Curt Bumper Hitch, # E-3S. This will provide a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver that you can use with a hitch mounted bike rack. I have included a link to the installation details for the hitch. If you have an RV or trailer that has a 4 inch square channel bumper, you could use RV Bumper Trailer Hitch Receiver, # E-100. Or, if it is a 4 inch square continuous welded steel bumper, you...

  • Trailer Hitch Option for 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 with Ranch Style Bumper
  • For your 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 the best option we'd have would be a deep drop bumper style hitch like the part # 41504. This hitch is designed for fitting under a bumper that's taller than the standard hitch that the truck came with. I looked up pictures of your bumper and it would be classified as a deep drop bumper so this would work well for you.

  • Trailer Hitch for 4 Inch Square Bumper
  • If the bumper mount hitch you purchased is too small for your 4 inch bumper then there's really no way to securely mount it without modifying either the hitch or your bumper, which I don't recommend. Installing the hitch in any way other than what's intended will likely reduce its capacity to an unknown number since it's not been tested in that manner which could lead to damage. A much better option is going to be with a hitch like the Curt # E-100 that's specifically designed to attach...

  • Can a Trailer Hitch be Installed on the Back of a Trailer
  • I am not really sure what you are trying to do but you can install a trailer hitch on the rear of a trailer. There are two different kinds of trailer hitches for trailers, frame mount and bumper mount. The frame mount hitches are much stronger but will require more effort to install whereas bumper mount hitches typically have less of a capacity as they are limited to the bumpers capacity but require less effort to install. Please note that before you install a bumper mount hitch you will...

  • Can An Aftermarket Trailer Hitch Be Installed On a 2007 Toyota Tundra If Bumper Is Replaced
  • The factory trailer hitch options for a 2007 Toyota Tundra are tied into the rear bumper helping to provide extra support. This is why the factory trailer hitch cannot be replaced with an aftermarket trailer hitch as these do not tie into the bumper. However, if you were to remove the factory bumper in light of any aftermarket bumper you could then install an aftermarket hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15398.

  • Recommendation for a Bumper Mounted Trailer Hitch for an RV, Trailer, or Motorhome
  • It sounds like the Stromberg Carlson 2" Motor Home Hitch Receiver, part # BA-100 would be your best bet. This receiver will fit bumpers up to 4 by 4-1/2 inches. This receiver is designed for mounting accessories like a bike rack, and not for towing purposes. It has a 200 lb capacity. You will want to make sure your bumper is rated for this application and do not exceed the capacity of the bumper or hitch, whichever is lower.

  • Are the Hitches for a 2007 Dodge Sprinter with Standard and Step Bumper the Same
  • The trailer hitch options for a 2007 Dodge Sprinter are different for models with the factory step bumper and models with the standard bumper. The two are not interchangeable so if you have the factory step bumper then you'll need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13358 or if you have the standard bumper then you'll need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13388.

  • Recommended Hitch for 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with Aluminess Bumper
  • The factory step bumper for a 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter will hang down lower than the standard bumper so the trailer hitch for the step bumper hangs down lower as well to account for this. There won't be a guaranteed hitch fit for a vehicle with aftermarket bumper but the best option would be the hitch for a step bumper since it will give more room for clearance. This option would be the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13358.

  • Bumper Mount RV Trailer Hitch with Receiver on Top of Bumper
  • There are other options but I can't recommend going against the instructions for RV bumper hitch # E-100 so the receiver should stay below the bumper. For one that you can mount to the top of the bumper and that costs less you can use # UF35-946402. I have linked a video of this hitch for you.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 1966 Ford F-100 With a Standard Bumper
  • I have included a picture of what a deep drop bumper is going to look like for you. If your bumper looks more like the standard bumper, pictured in the FAQ I have linked for you, then you do not have the 10 inch bumper. You would then need a trailer hitch that is designed for the regular bumper, like # 41001. I have included a link to the installation details for both hitches. I also recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4. It comes with a ball mount, interchangeable ball set, hitch...

  • Higher Capacity Trailer Hitch Solution for 2017 Ram 1500 with Bumper Hitch
  • If by bumper hitch you mean a hole in the bumper that can have a hitch ball installed in it then you can install a higher capacity hitch like the Draw Tite Class IV part # 41948 which has a towing capacity of 15,000 lbs trailer weight. But if instead you have a lower hitch opening below the bumper we wouldn't have a fit for that configuration.

  • Recommended Rear Bumper Hitch for Trailer That Mounts Above Bumper
  • The Curt RV Bumper Hitch part # E-100 can be inverted so as long as you have a 4" x 4" rear bumper which is the standard size then you'll be good to go.
