Great VIDEOS and helpful questions and answers service. Fit my 2014 Silverado present and I had a good idea how the job would go before the hitch even showed up.A little slow on the shipping but other than that very happy with my purchase.

Purchased a front mount receiver hitch for my pickup from etrailer.com. The hitch mounted exactly as it said and was a super to install. I plowed snow all winter with a receiver plow. Now I move three times the snow now in a third of the time.

2014 Chevy Silverado. The hitch arrived in what seemed to be record time.
Install was very straightforward. The only issue was the front mounting holes were too small to accept the spacer and bolt. A little time with a die grinder was all it took.
Since I was installing alone I used a short pipe clamp to hold the passenger side in place instead of a jack.
Install time was 50 minutes.
I have a 2" leveling kit on the truck and ended up with 10-1/2" of clearance below the hitch.
Overall I'm very pleased with the hitch. My primary use will be to occasionally mount a winch on the front or back as needed.

This front hitch works well with my rod/cooler rack for surf fishing! I installed myself using the instructions. (Would've been easier with a second person!). It's low profile. I removed the air dam to make it easier for install and gain more ground clearance overall. I have a 2018 Silverado.

2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
The hitch quality is great the fit was perfect and mounting time was about 35 minutes.
One thing that would make the installation better would be to include 6 of the fishing wires instead of only including 2. When bolting the hitch to the frame it is real easy to push the bolts back up into the frame. With the extras fish wires you can just feed them through the holes in the hitch and not worry about losing the bolt. This would make it much easier to mount.With that being said I would recommend this hitch to anyone who needs a front mount hitch.

Very easy install on 2017 sierra 1500. Took an hour by myself without jacking up truck. With two people and a jack could easily be done in no time. Jack is not needed but would’ve allowed a little more clearance to drill holes easier. Did not have to trim any of the fascia

Hitch fit exactly as it should. Directions were clear, although I did watch an [online] video just to make sure I understood how to pull the bolts through the frame. It took me a little over an hour and a half to install by myself.

The hitch came yesterday. It was packaged extremely well. The paint finish is great, I can't wait to install the hitch on the front of my pickup. It will be after Christmas now as too much to do to get ready for the holidays. After that I will submit a second review once the product is installed. etrailer is the best for products of this nature, always a good shopping experience . Thank you

well after a year and the hitch installed Ive yet to use it. Due to cover we have not traveled, but the hitch is great just the same.
by: Benjamin05/05/2021
Installation was easy even when combined with my grill guard.
Even so, I have three recommendations. 1) Remove the bottom plastic air deflector. This will help with installation and even more when inserting and removing hitches. 2) Install a 2" leveling kit to the front suspension. The stock ride height will let the receiver come in contact with high curbs when parking. 3) Use a hitch extension to get out in front of the bumper.
by: Doug 09/04/2022
Product mounted up perfectly and works great. I use it for a cargo carrier to haul my moped to the campgrounds. I get lots of looks and inquiries about it. I have NO complaints with this company and I've bought plenty of stuff from them. Customer service is outstanding and delivery is ahead of time.

2016 Chevrolet Silverado
This is the 2nd Front Hitch that I have purchased through eTrailer, made by Curt.
My first was for my 2004 GMC Sierra. After several years pushing a driveway plow and launching & precisely parking boats,....I decided to buy a new 2016 Silverado.
The 2004 Hitch mounted with only 2 bolts on each side. There was clever use of the tow hook bolt & an open access hole. No holes needed to be drilled. I bent the plow rack & bent a hitch extender over the years but never compromised the hitch. I'm going to give this hitch to my brother for his 2015 Silverado 2500 for a front winch mount.
The 2016 Hitch used an access hole on each side and required me to drill 2 more holes on each side. This hitch is just as strong as the rear hitch,....probably stronger! The instructions suggested that I trim the airdam,....didn't have to. I pulled out one screw and bent the airdam over a little.
The other brand offered by eTrailer was recognizable, but not as well designed & made as the Curt.
Next truck I buy,...I'll be back to eTrailer for another Curt Hitch!
Oh,...incidentally; the website, ordering, delivery, packaging, instructions were all GREAT!,....and like most busy people, I don't have time to give this feedback, but eTrailer's Bill P. asked kindly & deserves it.
by: Roger 07/05/2022
A great addition to any truck really and the price is reasonable. Easy to install with only 4 holes to drill in the front frame. Maybe 2 hours of work and it easily blends with the air dam under the front bumper. I use mine for a simple plow attachment to quickly clear my driveway. It's beefy enough to handle maneuvering a boat trailer into a tight parking spot also.
by: Julian02/14/2022
Extremely well engineer, simple and easy installation. Most people don’t realize how easy a front hitch can make putting a camper or boat into a tight spot. I’m very satisfied. This is my second purchase of a front mounted hitch, second vehicle.
by: Levi07/30/2018
2014 Chevrolet Silverado
Installed this on a 2014 Silverado 1500. Very easy install with two people for an extra set of hands to hold hitch up while marking drill holes and tightening the first 2 nuts to hold the hitch to the frame. I had previously installed a 2" front end leveling kit on the truck so the ground clearance difference is barely noticeable. I would recommend this hitch to anyone looking to put this on a similar truck.
by: John01/15/2019
2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
Great product, well built. went in just like the instructions said, though one must be very careful when positioning the hitch over the bolts coming down from the holes in the frame that are drilled. One bolt ended up being pushed up into the frame member and took 1+ hour to retrieve. Use the fish wires to extend from the bolts so if one (or more) ends up being pushed up passed the hole opening, it will be easy to retrieve!
Once in though, looked great and didn't even have to cut any of the "fascia" to fit the receiver.
by: John 05/20/2023
Great hitch. Fit perfectly on my truck.
Customer service really good, they keep you updated right from when you place your order.
by: Elizabeth06/23/2018
Was glad to receive my box early, however, the one brace on the hitch was 1/2" off and had to be pried out to fit properly...Not an easy task. As far as time installing the hitch, I am not a novice but it took me quite a while to install this. The fishing line kept going up, luckily i had long nosed pliers to pull it into place. All in all I am happy with the hitch.

This hitch is doing a great job. So much easier to load my boat into the lake.
by: Timothy04/23/2019
Very easy installation (1 hour) with no problems. The air dam only required a vertical 3/4" cut to fit. I only cut the sides and let the tongue push the plastic upwards. The wire used to snake the nuts and washer bar into the frame is ingenious. All four fell into place on the first try.

Love CURT front hitch, bought one from you for old suburban and just put this new one on new Siverado P/U. Only advice I would add for people is to start with drilling smaller pilot hole than bigger and finally with specified 17/32" bit to make it easier drilling while laying on driveway under truck. I also used a 5/8" bit because I had one and all worked out fine. Now we can put the bike rack on front and camper on back.

The fast shipping and service was GREAT, I am going to modify the receiver for my needs, and will post a review when done.

The modified receiver works great. I removed receiver tube from the center, then added two new tubes at either end, this made the cooler rack 100 wobble free. I can still use the front mount receiver to jockey my boat around in tight spaces. Id give it 5 stars.

- Will Front Hitch Work On 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 With Aftermarket BumperIt looks like from the photo attached that you will have no issues installing an aftermarket trailer hitch like the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C31069. That said, you'd need to trim the plastic under body panel for the receiver tube opening. This would then work well with the Curt Trailer Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier part # c31006 and the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch License Plate Holder part # C31002 when the spare tire carrier is not being used.

- Snow Plows and Mount Options for a 2017 GMC Sierra 1500I do have plow options for you but I spoke with my contact over at Snow Bear and they have not yet confirmed a custom snow plow mount kit for the 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 (March 1, 2017). What you can do is use a plow that attaches to a front mount trailer, # C31069, which does fit your truck. With the front mount hitch installed you could then use Snow Bear plow # SB324-172, # SB324-081, # SB324-080, # SB324-168, or # SB324-140.

- Recommendation for Towing Pop-up Camper with 2016 Silverado 1500 and 4 BikesI've tried every possible option I can think of to get that bike rack and adapters to allow you to tow at the same time and unfortunately there really isn't a solution that will work with a single hitch receiver compatible with your 2016 Silverado 1500 because multiple adapters are not an option due to the restriction on tongue weight.

I reached out to my contact at Curt and the difference between them is the # C31069 is 1 inch higher so it requires more trimming of the air dam but it also gives you more ground clearance.

Because of this I highly recommend against using this option. Instead what I recommend doing is using either the...

Turned out to be a bad ideal. It hits the curb sets too low and I wanted it for a bike rack and the bikes getting way of my Vision so I ended up taken it off period
