Recommended Trailer Hitch To Replace Rusty OEM Trailer Hitch On 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
Question:
Hi, I have the round tube type. My bumper has also rusted out also and hitch has pulled loose from the bumper also. Do you have a hitch that will fit that doesnt bolt to the bumper? And Trailer plug in, was attached to the bumper and rusted loose. Do the hitchs have a place to bolt the cable connector to the hitch? Or what do you suggest?

To replace the rusty stock trailer hitch receiver on your 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75362 which is confirmed to fit your truck, and will not bolt to your bumper.
This hitch also has a built in bracket for attaching your 7-way connector to.
I included a video of the # 75362 being installed on a similar 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 for you to take a look at.
