Trailer Wiring Bracket Recommendation for 2003 Chevy Suburban

Question

Question:

I noticed that this receiver hitch doesnt have a mounting bracket for the trailer wiring. Would it be ok to drill small holes to mount a bracket? Thanks in advance.

I can't recommend you drill into any hitch including the Curt Hitch part # C15324 for the install of anything including a trailer wiring bracket. What I would recommend is a mounting bracket that attaches to the hitch's cross tube like the part # 18159.

I attached a review video for you to check out as well.

Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item #C15324 will fit your 2003 GMC Yukon. Depending on your trim package and how low it goes below your bumper you may have to cut an opening in your trim for the receiver to be accessed.
