Recommend Hitch for a 48" Extension on a 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500
Question:
My set up is a 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 with an in bed camper. I would like to use a 48" extension to tow my cargo trailer. I know my factory hitch won't be strong enough so. What hitch do I need to use one of the 48" SuperTruss hitch extenders?

Expert Reply:
To use the TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension 48" Long item # TLE1548 with your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 you are going to want the TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum Trailer Hitch Receiver item # TL74FR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Silverado with included hardware.
The 48" long TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension item # TLE1548 has a maximum gross trailer weight of 6,000 lbs that can increase to 12,000 lbs when used with a weight distribution system.
I also recommend the TorkLift Wiring Harness Extension item # TLW6048. This will extend your Silverado's 7-way connector the 48" length of the extension to connect to your cargo trailer.
