The 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.

Curt, 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…

Answer 9

The Curt #C15324 you mentioned is a great choice for your 2004 Chevy Avalanche, but it might be a bit overkill as a Class V hitch since it's not going to give you a higher towing capacity; it would be more peace of mind than functionality so…
