Recommended Gen-Y Hitch for 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 and Trailer with DO45 Coupling
Products Featured in This Question
Question:
It’s actually a torsion GenY hitch that I’m after... the coupling height of the trailer is 22.8 inches and the vehicle is stock standard. Which GenY torsion hitch is appropriate for this set up?

It looks like the pin part of the DO45 (which takes the place of a standard hitch ball) has a shank with a 1-1/4" diameter so I recommend using the Curt Heavy Duty Forged Ball Mount # C45340 with a Gen-Y hitch as this ball mount has up to a 17K towing capacity.
For the Gen-Y hitch it all depends on the height of the trailer and if your 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 is stock height or not. If your Chevy is stock height then you should be just fine with the Gen-Y Shank # 325-GH-303 which gives you a 5" Drop/Rise. This does have a 2" shank though so if your Chevy happens to have a 2-1/2" receiver you'd want the Gen-Y # 325-GH-623 instead which has a 6" Drop/Rise. This comes with a dual hitch ball setup but you can easily swap it out for the Curt.
Attached are some review videos for you to check out.
