Specially designed for heavy-duty towing, this fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.by: Steven 04/08/2024
Hitch fit perfect and installs easily. Only thing I don't like is the part you attach the safety chains to is very thick so not all the chains fit on it. But I'm sure that was done for strength.
by: David 01/29/2024
We haven't used the hitch too many times, but it's worked great when we have. Before I installed it, I painted over the corners, as well as added silicone in the gaps where pieces meet & there wasn't a weld... just for added corrosion protection. No complaints, as it's just a hitch and works as such.

Great hitch! It was easy to install and does the job perfectly!

2004 Cadillac Escalade
So Happy with this Curt Custom Heavy Duty Class V Receiver Hitch.
Fits Perfectly behind my plastic bumper on my 2004 Cadillac Escalade EXT.
It looks factory installed. Definitely more stout in construction than the OEM
that came off. OEM receiver hitch was rated for 5000 pounds, this Curt is rated for 17000 pounds, Big Difference. Took me by my self less than 1 hour to install. I used the Curt supplied bolts and factory bolts per instructions. I had the factory trailer light receptacle trimmed and tack welded to the Curt Hitch. I have a large boat and now confident in this heavy duty hitch. Thanks etrailer here are some pictures

Best price and best quality. This hitch has paid for itself 10 fold.
by: Jake 01/02/2024
Excellent product. Super easy to install. Came with all mounting hardware and arrived quickly. Strongly recommend etrailer for your needs.
by: Jack Y.08/21/2022
Replaced the factory rusty hitch with this heavier duty one. Easy to install, however receiver does sit about 1-1/2” higher than the factory one. Pulling my 29’ travel trailer feels more stable, not sure if it’s because the receiver is higher or it’s just a sturdier hitch.

2003 Chevrolet Tahoe
The product fit as described with minimal effort on my 03 Tahoe. I did however reuse the bolts I took out of my existing hitch due to they where bigger in diameter than what whas provided. Very impressed overall and highly satisfied with the whole process. I am a first time customer and will be passing the name along for sure!

Fit perfectly on my 04 Suburban 1500. Fantastic upgrade from the 3500 lb universal one that a previous owner had installed. Considerable overkill for my truck, but I like that.

by: Danny1307/07/2020
Very nice and heavy duty hitch. Install was no problem. Installed on 2003 gmc yukon xl denali in about an hour. Replaced a original rusted out hitch. I have denali trim package so rear bumper cover may protrude a bit...no big deal. If you have regular yukon should be fine.

This hitch fits great and I didn't have to remove the spare tire. Easy installation.

This hitch has been awesome
by: Michael04/16/2020
2002 Chevrolet Suburban
Shipped quick,good price,well made. I installed this on a 2002 Avalanche 2500 with plastic cladding. There was some minor trimming required on the plastic(Dremel to the rescue).
You will need to attach the bracket from factory hitch,or add a bracket for trailer connector. It took longer to trim the plastic than it it did to install the hitch. The hitch fits like glove once trimmed,and is 80%hidden.
Factory hitch has been known to fail,due to design and wall thickness in my opinion.
The Curt class V hitch has a much thicker wall thickness and it's a square tube design rated much higher than factory for tongue weight and overall towing ability.I tow a 34 foot toyhauler that was at the limit of factory hitch,this hitch is rated 5000lbs heavier than oem and it shows once you compare the two.

2004 Chevrolet Tahoe
I bought this hitch after realizing the stock hitch on my 2004 Tahoe was undersized for my trailer. This one is rated way higher than my truck will ever be able to haul; but on towing devices, overkill isn't a bad thing. This hitch is extremely beefy, way heavier than the stock hitch. It was very easy to bolt up due to the access holes in the Tahoe frame. Removing the spare isn't necessary, but it does make access easier. The quality of the welds, paint, fitment, and even hardware is exceptional. And as always, etrailer's customer service is next to none.
by: Thomas07/19/2020
2003 GMC Yukon XL
After I realized that I was towing a boat and trailer that was almost twice the rating of my original hitch, I decided to update to the Curt Class V. The hitch is much heavier and it is very well made. The installation was very easy and all the hardware fit perfectly. I decided to move my trailer connector into the bumper at the same time.
I now have the confidence to tow my boat anywhere without worry.
etrailer had the best price and the fastest shipping. I have always had great service with them

2020 Ford F-350 Super Duty
Much heavier duty than the OEM one and appears to be well made with quality coating. It should not bend like the OEM did (why I upgraded to this beast). Was a snug fit between the rear crossmember on a 05 2500 Suburban, but easy to wedge up in there using a floor jack. The hitch sits around 2” higher than the OEM so will need to Adjust all the hitches accordingly. Only complaint is lack of integrated bracket for the trailer wiring otherwise would have been 5 stars.

2005 Chevrolet Suburban
I personally feel that CURT hitches are one of the best on the market. I bought the CURT class 5 hitch and it exceeded all my expectations. It takes alot to impress me and this truly did. The quality of the material, the construction and the fit and finish were perfect. With air tools, 15 minutes at most, to install. Now as far as Etrailer. Their price was the best which included fast free shipping. I Would highly recommend, if you need trailer hitches or any trailer accessories, don't look anywhere else
by: Harold05/24/2020
I realize this not the first time I’ve ordered from etrailer
And using the fitment tool has always got me an exact match for my needs. Its been Chevy Tahoe, Suburban and Silverado. Each time has been easy bolt on. Nothing to fear. This last time I wore out the Tahoe’s factory receiver with my travel trailer so I installed the Curt XD
xx lbs rated. Beautiful clean match. Thank You !

I made the mistake and ordered this hitch off Amazon to get it sooner. The bolt holes were about 1/4” off and it wouldn’t fit. Needless to say I had to send it back and got one here like I should have in the first place. It fit perfect without a hitch. I couldn’t help it.
by: Jeff03/16/2023
excellent hitch, fast shipping and glad I upgraded. I have had this for a year now and does everything I need it to.
Note: I installed this on a 2007 Avalanche and it is not supposed to fit. I did some research and all 6 frame bolts line up perfectly and fits well, noting that I did have to trim my rear facia to make it fit. Since the factory steel that is under the rear facia was already rotted out like the factory hitch from rust, it fits perfectly if not a few inches higher than the factory hitch - even better! I highly recommend to anyone that wants to upgrade from that factory class 3 tubular junk that is likely already rusted and starting to sag, go for this and if you have an Avalanche, it will fit if you don't mind a little triming of your facia. From the picutre, OK my trimming was not perfect, will groom this later, but you get the point. Also you will notice I did drill out for the plug socket up high, this was frankly the hardest part of the install. And yes my factory frame rails are excellent with no rust.
One more thing, Curt supplied all the new bolts which I torqued to thier instructions.
by: Chad04/21/2020
Used this to replace the factory hitch on my 2004 Tahoe. Original was extremely rusty and wanted peace of mind that my hitch was sound. The new hitch is way more robust than the factory. As always impressed with etrailer’s customer service.

I've installed several hitches over the years, but the Curt XD is the nicest hitch I have seen. Quality welds, heavy construction and nice finish. You can't go wrong with this one.

I bought this hitch to replace my factory hitch after it was damaged when i backed into a concrete pole. This hitch is much better than the factory hitch. It looks really nice. It was really easy to install with easy to read instructions. I am very happy with it. I have confidence that i can tow a decent amount of weight.

- Will Curt Class V Trailer Hitch Fit 2003 Chevy Suburban K2500The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15324 is compatible with all models of the 2003 Chevy Suburban so it will fit your K2500. The only thing you'll need to know in advance is that you will either need to temporarily lower or remove your spare tire to install this trailer hitch. I have attached the installation instructions for you to check out. If you plan on using this to tow then you'll need the wiring kit # C59236 for basic trailer light functions and then the kit # ETBC7 if you need...

This is a Class V hitch and it has a 2 inch receiver opening. The # C15324 is designed to fit 2 inch receiver openings and features a 5 inch rise or 6 inch drop. The ball mount uses a hitch ball with a shank that measures 1-1/4 inches like part # A-90 you mentioned. The # A-90 is a 2 inch hitch ball and has a 2-5/8 inch long shank. The Curt Pin And...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Upgrade For A 2005 Coachmen Cross CountryWhen it comes to upgrading your class 2 trailer hitch on your 2005 Coachmen Cross Country I recommend The Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver - Weld On - Class V - 2 inch # 41990-07. This trailer hitch welds onto the frame of your trailer and will give you a 1,600 pound tongue weight.
view full answer... - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C15324 Fitment On a 2004 Yukon XL Denali With Aftermarket Roll PanThe Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15324 has only been confirmed to fit on the factory bumper. With your 2004 Yukon XL Denali having the street scene roll pan it likely will not require any modification if they designed it to fit with the factory receiver hitch. I wasn't able to get that information from street scene.

There are no modifications you can make to a hitch to increase its capacity. I recommend Curt trailer hitch # C15324 (will not fit models with EPA canister mounted on passenger side frame rail). It is rated for 2,400 pounds tongue weight. But you also need to consult the vehicle owner's manual for the tongue weight capacity of the vehicle. Whichever...
view full answer... - High Capacity Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2004 Chevy SuburbanCurt, Reese and Draw Tite are all great hitches, so it often comes down to preferences. For some vehicles it may make more sense to go with one brand over the other based on design, but for your 2004 Chevy Suburban 2500 the Curt Hitch part # C15324 would make the most sense as it is a very high capacity hitch a great price. The Draw-Tite # DT45515 has a 2-1/2 inch opening, so it has different attachment availability, but with a lower tongue weight and GTW. The Reese part # 45013 unfortunately...
view full answer... - Recommended Class V Trailer Hitch for a 2004 Chevy Avalanche 2500The only class v trailer hitch option we offer for a 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche 2500 is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15324 which has a 2" receiver tube opening. This is a custom fit option with no drilling required. I don't have confirmation of the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT45515.
view full answer... - Can a Higher Capacity Trailer Hitch be Used Instead of Weight Distribution on 2005 Chevy AvalancheWeight distribution is a good idea any time the loaded trailer weighs 50 percent or more than the vehicle. In this case, at 6,200 pounds gross trailer weight, the trailer does way more than 50 percent of the vehicle so weight distribution is a good idea. The hitch capacity is just one factor to look at. You will also want to check the towing capacities of the vehicle. Going to a hitch with a higher weight carrying capacity will do you no good if the 2005 Avalanche cannot tow the weight...
view full answer... - Highest Capacity Class V Hitch for 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche 2500The highest capacity 2-inch hitch we offer for this vehicle is the Curt Class V Receiver Hitch # C15324. This bolt-on no-drill hitch is rated for 16K towing and 17K towing with weight distribution. There are no 5th wheel installation kits for the 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche 2500. The vehicle is rated to tow as much 12,000-lbs with a standard receiver hitch like the Curt, when properly equipped, but the short bed just does not allow for 5th wheel hitch installation.

The fits for both are the following: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15324 - Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236 The hitch is a Class V with the most capacity so it can handle whatever your Yukon is capable of towing, and the 4-way will give you the ability to power your trailer's lights.

- Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2004 GMC Yukon XLI recommend pairing the Curt Trailer Hitch # C15324 with the wiring # C59496 for your 2004 GMC Yukon XL. The wiring is for the basic trailer lighting functions which includes trailer brake lights. Please note that the hitch (or any hitch for your vehicle) will not fit if you have the EPA canister mounted on the passenger side frame rail. The last thing you need to complete your towing setup is a ball mount and for that I recommend checking out Ball Mount Kit # 989900 because it includes...
view full answer... - Procedure for Installing Curt Class V Hitch on 2004 GMC Yukon with OEM HitchI spoke with my contact in the Tech Services department at Curt Manufacturing. I was told that installing the # C15324 on your 2004 Yukon would be a simple matter of unbolting the existing hardware holding the factory hitch into place, removing the hitch and installing the # C15324 according to the instructions. Keep in mind that although this hitch has a 16,000 lb towing/ 2,400 lb tongue weight capacity, your actual capacity might be limited by the actual towing capacity of your Yukon,...

Sometimes the "Cadillac" heading is hard to find because you have to hit the "see more" option on the bottom right side of the fitguide to view more brands.

- How Much Does Class V Curt Trailer Hitch Weigh for 2003 Chevy AvalancheI wouldn't know the weight of the OEM trailer hitch on your 2003 Chevy Avalanche but I can say that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V XD - 2" # C15324 weighs in at about 45 lbs. Please note that while this does have higher weight ratings of 16K Towing/2.4K Tongue and 17K Towing/2.4K Tongue (with weight distribution) if the weight ratings of your Avalanche are lower then you will still be limited by that number.

If that's the case, I'd recommend using part # HM40975-11998 which includes a combination 4-pole/7-way trailer connector, a mounting bracket and a pigtail that will wire up to your existing tow package. The pigtail uses a different wiring convention than your tow package harness, the pigtail connects as follows: • Red pigtail wire carries left Turn/brake lamp circuit • White pigtail wires carries...

Then for wiring I recommend the Hopkins 4-Way/7-Way kit: - 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket w/ Mounting Bracket # HM40975 This connects to the existing wiring on your Suburban via the US CAR plug at the back - just remove it from your current wiring and...

Curt # 14080 which carries a 1000-lb TW capacity. This tongue weight capacity increases to 1200-lb with weight distribution.

I have linked the instructions for you. If your Suburban did not come with a trailer connector at the back you can add a 4-Way flat using # C59236. The recommended ball mount is # C45341.

The Curt class V hitch still performing in an excellent manner. This solid hitch has handled my boat with ease. After inspection and one years use, the welds remain intact with no corrosion or paint delamination. Still very happy I replaced the factory hitch with this hitch. Follow manufacturers max tow rating for your vehicle for safety.
