When installing a heavy duty hitch on your 1997 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V XD - 2 inch # C15325 is confirmed for your vehicle and the centurion bumper.
The curt hitch is a class five hitch that has a maximum towing weight of 16,000 pounds and a maximum tongue weight of 2,400 pounds. You will need to check your manual to find the proper towing capacity for your vehicle. No drilling is required for the installation of this hitch.
The 7-Way Pre-Wired Car Connector, 7 foot Lead # 20023 allows Remote Trailer Wiring in Pickup Beds or Other Hard to Access Areas When Towing 5th Wheel or Gooseneck Trailers.
