Replacement Trailer Hitch for a 2008 Chevy Silverado 2500/3500

Question

Question:

Could you please tell me the recommended trailer hitch for a 2105 Keystone PP23RB15. I have a 2008 Chevy Silverado HD that has the GM original hitch that I want to replace. I am in the process of restoring the pickup. I took the bumper off and I dont like what I see. GM 15837632. I researched this hitch and found they are prone to failure. Thanks for any help. I looked at a Curt class 4 hitch. 14211.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 14211 would be an excellent replacement trailer hitch option for a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500. It works on long/short and 2WD/4WD models. It will do a great job in place of the factory trailer hitch and it's rated up to 10/12K.
