Will the 14061 Curt fit a 2011 2500 gmc duramax with a standard 6 1/2 ft. bed?

I do have an option for you , however the Curt Class IV Trailer Hitch Receiver # C14061 referenced in your question is not designed to fit your 2011 Sierra 2500 with the 6-1/2 foot bed. This particular model will work with the frame on the 2500 Sierra with the 8 foot bed but is not compatible with the 6 foot bed model.

For a Curt Class IV hitch that is confirmed to fit your truck, I instead recommend the Curt Class IV Receiver Hitch # C14062. This custom hitch will install by using existing holes in your Sierra for a no-drill installation and it features a 10,000 pound towing weight capacity.

I have attached the written installation instructions that you can take a look at. All the needed hardware is included.

Will this 14061 fit on a 2013 2500 Silverado equipped with an 8’ Royal utility bed?

Does the utility bed hang lower or extend further than the standard factory bed on your Silverado? If so, none of the custom options will fit. Your best solution will be with a universal weld-on unit like the Draw-Tite # 41990-16.
