Question:
what class hitch is this hitch part # 15520
asked by: Bill
Expert Reply:
The Curt Trailer Hitch, # 15520, is a Class V (class 5) hitch rated for 15,000 pounds gross trailer weight and 1,500 pounds tongue weight. It can also be used with weight distribution bringing the capacity totals up to 16,000/1,600 pounds.
It is designed to fit the following vehicles:
1996 - 2011 Chevrolet Express Van Full Size
1996 - 2011 GMC Savana Van Full Size
So it is a fit for your 2004 Chevy Express Van. The recommended ball mount is # 40330 and you can use pin and clip # PC3. For a ball, you can use # A-90 (2 inch diameter) or # 19286 (2-5/16 inch diameter). For trailer wiring you can use Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118392. I have included a link to the installation instructions for the hitch and wiring and a video for the wiring.
