Trailer Hitch Installation - 2011 Chevrolet Silverado - Draw-Tite- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2011 Chevrolet Silverado we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Draw-Tite, class three, custom fit trailer hit receiver, part number 75521.So here's what our hitch looks like once it's fully installed on our truck. Now we are gonna see just a little bit of the cross tube, but it's gonna blend in nicely with the black plastic that's on our bumper.If you're looking at the other Draw-Tite as well as this one you might notice that there's very few differences on them, this one the safety chain connection points are gonna be slightly different and we are gonna have two more connection points that are gonna mount up right underneath the bumper here, but this one is gonna give a slightly higher tongue weight.Now this is a class three hitch so it's gonna give us that two inch by two inch receiver tube opening and it has a nice reinforced collar giving it added strength and just overall a clean, finished look.Now the way we're gonna mount any of our accessories is gonna be with this hitch pin hole which is gonna be the one farthest forward towards our cab and it's gonna accept a standard five-eighths pin and clip. Now they're not included but you can pick one up on our website using part number PC3 or we have a wide variety of locking hitch pins available as well. The small hole towards the back of our receiver tube is gonna be for the J-pin stabilization device, which is gonna be great if any of your accessories don't have a built in anti-rattle.Now the safety chain connections that we we're mentioning before are gonna be a loop style on this Draw-Tite and as you can see we're gonna have plenty of room to get most size hooks on or off and even with a locking device we're really not gonna have to worry about too much room or interfering with those.Now Draw-Tite has taken the extra step and actually welded a bracket onto the cross tube here so that way you can mount any of your electrical accessories if they're not built into your truck and we have a wide variety of those available as well.Now this Draw-Tite is gonna feature a 900 pound tongue weight along with a 6,000 pound gross trailer weight rating. Now it is designed to work with weight distribution systems, which is gonna bump our tongue weight up to 1,050 pounds and it's gonna bump our gross trailer weight rating up to 10,500 pounds. Now I always want to remind you, you always want to double check your vehicles owners manual to make sure your truck can handle pulling that amount of weight.I'd like to give you a few measurements that's gonna help you decide on accessories for your new hitch such as a ball mount, bike rack, or even a cargo carrier. more
