Speaker 1: Today in our 2015 Chevrolet Express van, we'll be having a look at, and installing, the Curt Class 5 Trailer Hitch Receiver, part number C15320.Here's what our hitch looks like installed.

It gives the hitch a nice rough and tough look that makes it look very rugged and will last a very long time, and be very rust resistant. Another nice feature is that it's recessed behind our back bumper here so when we're loading cargo into our cargo area, we don't have to worry about running our shin into the hitch.Welded onto the bottom of the frame of the hitch and the 2" receiver opening here, is our safety chain plate. On this plate we have two very large openings to insert our safety chain hooks, or the chains, into, and we shouldn't have much problem at all hooking most safety chains onto these. At the end of our receiver, we have this nice collar here that's welded on. more
