Installation of Curt Front Mount Receiver # 31302 on 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
Question:
Can the hitch fit beneath my front bumper cladding without cutting? And is there just one model that fits the Avalanche? Or is there an option for a heavy duty model with a higher tongue weight?

After some research, I have found the Curt Front Mount Receiver # 31302 is the only such trailer hitch we carry for your 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche. It has a line pull capacity of 9000 lbs, a vertical load of 500 lbs, and a gross trailer weight of 5000 lbs. The hitch features a 2-inch receiver opening with a pin hole diameter of 5/8 inches and does not need welding for installation.
Typically, the receiver would be installed with the receiver tube on the underside of the crossbar, which might require minor trimming on the under bumper fascia which varies by model. Or the hitch can be reversed so that the tube is on top of the crossbar, which would require a 3-inch square hole to be cut in the fascia.
I have provided a link to the installation instructions that explains your options.
