etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Installation - 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500- Video
Ryan: How's it going Ryan here at etrailer.com. Today on our 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, we're going to be taking a look at and showing how to install the etrailer.com Class 4 trailer hitch receiver. Now right off the bat, one of the main things that separates this hitch from any of the others out there is its finish. It's going to be a matte black carbide finish, which is very scratch-resistant, rust-resistant, and it's going to stay looking good for a long time.This is going to be a great choice if you truck doesn't have a hitch at all, or if the current one you have is rusty or beat up, or if the one currently on your truck doesn't meet your weight capacity needs. This truck's a perfect example on how this is going to make your life a little bit easier. Now he's going to be able to take all his equipment out of the bed of the truck, maybe throw it on a trailer, free up some space and make it easier to get to. more
