Trailer Hitch for a 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 Stepside Bed With Roll Pan Bumper
Question:
I have a 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 Stepside bed with the Regency package from the factory and it has the roll pan bumper and behind the tag is cut out. So I am thinking the hitch would come out there. But it also has factory dual exhaust with this package. So, is there a hitch that will fit the measurements are 39inch from bolt to bolt hole across?

Helpful Expert Reply:
There is a trailer hitch designed to work on the 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 with a roll pan bumper. You can use Curt hitch # 13932. Since your roll pan bumper already has the cut out you will not need to trim any more. I have linked a video showing the Curt hitch being installed.
If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4. It comes with a ball mount with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop, interchangeable ball set, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
If you need to add a trailer connector you can use # C59496 to add a 4-Way flat.
