Shipping SpecialIdeal for heavy-duty towing, this Chevrolet Silverado trailer hitch has a cast steel center that is designed to handle hefty tongue weights. Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this durable, corrosion-resistant hitch exceeds industry standards.
Features:
Specs:
Specifically designed for a serious towing machine, this rugged trailer hitch receiver features the strong, durable construction that your heavy-duty applications require. The secure side-bracket design and all-frame attachment system ensure maximum stability. The cast center section lets you pile on the tongue weight without any worries. And the reinforced pin hole and large safety-chain loops better accommodate your heavy-duty towing needs.
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real-life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.

Alright, today on this 2004 Chevrolet Silverado, were going to install part number 41944 from Draw-Tite. Alright, this is what the hitch looks like once installed on the vehicle. Next, well go ahead and give you some measurements that will help you out in selecting some accessories such as a ball mount, a bicycle rack or a cargo carrier. From the top of the receiver opening down to the ground is going to be 22 inches and from the center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of the bumper is going to be 2-1/2 inches. Now, well go ahead and show you how the hitch is installed. Our first step is to go ahead and remove the bolts that are existing at the bottom of the frame and the very end of the frame rail.
Then our next step is to go ahead and lift the hitch in position and use new bolts to install the hitch with. Well be using a new 14-mm bolt, lock washer and a block. You definitely want to have an extra set of hands to help hold up the hitch while you install the hardware. Alright, next well go ahead and remove the two 12-mm side nuts and bolt plates at the end of the frame. These will be reinstalled later.
With the bolt plate removed, now I need to loosen up two bolts for the bumper bracket that go out to the bumper. That way you can space the bracket out a little bit so we can install our attachment bar. Well slip the attachment bar between the bumper bracket and the frame and reinstall the original hardware and our new hardware at the bottom going towards the hitch. Okay, the bolt will get the conical toothed washer with the teeth facing the hitch and on the other side well get a flat washer, a lock washer and a nut. Our drivers side is done, lets go ahead and repeat the same process over on the passengers side.
Alright, now well go to the fasteners going up toward the front. Therell be an existing hole so well use the 14-mm bolt, the 3-inch long by 3/8 spacer block, running from the top down to the frame and on the bottom well get the smaller, thinner 3-inch block and then the flange nut on the bottom. Okay, now with all our hardware installed, well go ahead and tighten the bolts down and then torque the bolts down as specified in the instructions. Alright, with that, thatll finish it for our install of part number 41944 on our 2004 Chevrolet Silverado.

Fast delivery, easy install, this hitch is more than twice the weight of the OEM factory hitch of my 2001 chevy 2500HD and obviously much stronger. I always have a positive experience with e-trailor.42793

Mounted hitch as soon as I recieved it. Heavy duty mounting was easy to attach. Used it to tow my 13200 GVWR Toy Hauler. Great hitch! The only complaint I have is with the packaging. There was no packaging except for some plastic wrap to hold on the mounting hardware and a electrical connector. The hitch had a lot of scratches down to the bare metal and several areas of missing paint. I know it's a hitch, but with bare metal it's going to start rusting right away and I would like to keep the rust off as long as possible. I painted up the bare metal areas and things are good now. I would recommend this hitch to a friend.77478
