Can Curt Front Hitch For 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 Handle 460 lb Vertical Load
Question:
Hi. I have a 2018 silverado 1500 crew cab 5.3l v8 3.42 gears. Im looking to add item C31069 front mounted hitch to carry 2 honda ruckus scooters 194 lbs each on a black widow Amc-600 carrier weighs 75 lbs with a 600 lb rating. Id be offsetting the front weight by towing a small boat and trailer i estimate in the 2500 lb combined weight range. Other than things like headlight or air intake obstruction, is there any issue with hitch or tongue weight with this setup.

You're all good with that set up for your 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500. The two scooters weigh a combined 388 lbs, and the additional 75 lbs of the carrier takes you to 463 lbs, which is under the 500 lb vertical load (which is the same as tongue weight for a front hitch) of the Curt front hitch that fits your truck:
