• Troubleshooting Holes Not Lining Up On Curt Front Hitch 31322
  Hello Randy, you are referring to the single bolt that installs on the forwardmost part of the hitch (pictured below), is that correct? How much is the hole off by? If it is off by a small about you can use a drill to enlarge the hole slightly if that helps get the bolt through. These hitches are made of a mild flex steel so it is not uncommon for them to bend slightly. If you are able bend the piece of the hitch back into position that will be fine too, just do so carefully. If you are...

• Will the Fisher MM2 Snowplow Mounting Brackets Work With a Front Mount Hitch Receiver
  I do have an option that will allow you to attach a snowplow to the front of your 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500 but the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 31322 will not work with the Fisher MM2 Mount Kit as they both occupy the same space on the frame rails. For a snowplow that will work well with a 2" front mount trailer hitch receiver and your Chevy Silverado 1500, I recommend using the Detail K2 Avalanche Snowplow part # K2AVAL8219. The Detail K2 Avalanche has an 82" wide blade,...

• Solution for Moving 6,000 lb Boat Into Garage With 2013 Silverado
  Greetings Dave; unfortunately, all of the available hitches like the # 31322 max out at 5,000 lbs. The front hitch for the 2500 and 3500 have the same limitation. Since there is no option for a front hitch you could use the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive. The dolly can handle a gross trailer weight of 10,000 lbs and will work really well on a flat paved surface. It also has a drill attachment to make things even easier. If you have a 2" ball you need the # TVXL2 and for...

• Front Hitch For Carrying Fishing Poles On A 2013 GMC Sierra 1500
  Hi Matt! For your 2013 GMC Sierra 1500, I recommend going with the Curt Front Mount Hitch # 31322. We technically have two options that are rated for the exact same capacities (the 500 pound tongue weight will be the one that's relevant to your needs), but this one is American made and would be the one I would go for if I was adding a front hitch to my Silverado (though technically I have a '16 and it would be a different Curt hitch, but that's beside the point). What kind of fishing...

• Recommended Front Hitch for a 2013 GMC Sierra 1500
  No, it does not Tim but I have one that does. Since you have a 2013 GMC Sierra 1500, you'll need the Curt Front Hitch item # 31322. This hitch is custom fit for the 1500 models only. The Draw-Tite item # 65078 you referenced only fits the 2500 and 3500 models. I have attached a picture so you can see what this front hitch looks like installed, along with an installation video and the instructions so you can see how to get it set up. What do you plan on using a front hitch for?

• Will The SnowBear Snow Plow Work With My 2010 Chevy 1500 With A 6" Lift?
  Hey Adam, The SnowBear snowplow # K2AVAL8219 does have a minimum and maximum hitch height requirement in order to use. The hitch height, measured from the ground to the center hitch pin hole when on the vehicle, needs to be 14"-17" tall to use this plow. With your 6" lift I am not sure how high the Curt hitch, # 31322, would sit on your lifted vehicle, but the hitch usually sits right below the bumper if you wanted to take a quick measurement to get an idea. If you are within range then...

• Recommended Front Mounted Hitch for a 2007 Silverado w/ a New Body Using a Snow Plow
  No, I am sorry Frank it will not. The Replacement 2-Point Reciever Cup Cross Member for Snowbear Plow System item # SB324-136 has the same identical fittings on the end as the snow plow in your picture. The only option we have to attach a SnowBear plow like item # SB324-168 to your truck is with a front mounted hitch. If your Silverado is a 1500 you'll need item # 31322. If you have a 2500 then the item # 31109 is the correct front hitch. What model SnowBear plow do you have?

• Distance From Center of Hitch Pin Hole To Bumper on CURT Front Mount Trailer Hitch # 31322
  I contacted our representative at CURT about the CURT Front Mount Trailer Hitch # 31322. He informed me that the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole, to the front edge of the bumper measures approximately 7 inches. We do not have a Hidden Hitch front mount hitch available for the 2011 Silverado, but we do have a Draw-Tite model, part # 65052. The Draw-Tite hitch distance should be near the same distance as the CURT hitch as it will sit near the same location. When using any...

• Recommended Front Hitch for a 2008 GMC 1500 4x4 that Provides the Most Clearance
  Currently, 2 front mount hitches fit your 2008 GMC 1500 4x4. They are the Curt # 31322 and Draw-Tite # 65052. Both have a 500 pound vertical pull and 9,000 pound line pull. The specifications on the Draw-Tite hitch # 65052 from the top of the mounting brackets to the bottom of the receiver hitch is 7-3/4 inches. See diagram I included. You will need to measure down from the bottom of your frame 7-3/4 inches and from that point measure to the ground to obtain your clearance amount. Curt...

• Front Mount Hitch for a Snow Plow on a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT
  I would be happy to clarify. The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C31023 fits a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 or 3500. This front mount hitch sits below the front bumper. I have attached an installation video. For a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT you will want the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 31322. This one mounts below the front bumper as well. I have also linked an installation video.

• How To Install The Curt 31322 Front Mount Hitch Receiver On 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 New Body
  The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 31322 is custom-made and is confirmed to fit your 2007 GMC Sierra new body style. This is not made to be installed upside-down or reversed in any manner. You may think the 4 bracket bolts could be removed and would allow the receiver to be flipped, and then reinstall the 4 bolts to the brackets. But this won't work as you would not have clearance for your bumper cover; and more importantly the rear bracket/tongue will not fit...

• Recommended Front Mount Hitch for a 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500
  There are only two options for front mounted hitches for your 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500. They are the Curt Front Hitch item # 31322 and the Draw-Tite item # 65052. Both of these hitches stick out below the front bumper and can not be adapted to go through it. The frames for the 2500 and 3500's are wider so you couldn't easily modify one of those to work with a 1500 either. Out of those two options I recommend the Draw-Tite Front Hitch item # 65052. The Draw-Tite is welded together where...

• Difference Between Curt Hitch # 31322 and Draw Tite Hitch # 65052
  Both the Curt Front Hitch part # 31322 and the Draw Tite part # 65052 are a fit for the 2011 GMC Sierra 1500. They have similar prices, similar capacities and will give you a hitch opening in about the same location. Biggest difference is they are made by different brands and use different parts of the vehicle to mount the side brackets. Since the Draw Tite is totally welded and does not have any sections that are bolted together it would be what I would go with.

• Which Front Mount Recevier Hitch for 2007 New Body Chevy Silverado 2500
  Per the fitguide on our website, the Curt # 31322 would be a fit for the 2007 Silverado new body 1500 model only. For a 2500, you'll want to use # 31109. I've confirmed with with Curt. Draw-Tite also offers the # 65050 which will sit up higher, just under the bumper, instead of just under the fascia, so you'll have better ground clearance at the front if you went this route. I've confirmed this fit with the folks at Draw-Tite. The installation videos for each hitch that I've linked will...

• Using Detail K2 Snowplow Blade Stiffeners With Curt Front Hitch
  Hey Michael! The blade stiffeners on the Detail K2 Snowplow # K2AVAL8826ELT extend from either side of the plow's frame back to your front hitch. They're adjustable and designed to brace against the hitch cross tube, giving you two additional points of contact for extra stability. Since your Curt # 31322 mounts behind the bumper, the stiffeners may not line up with the hitch cross tube. We actually checked with Detail K2 on a similar setup, and they confirmed the stiffeners aren't always...

• Bull Bar and Front Hitch Recommendation for a 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500
  Surprisingly the Bull Bar by Westin # 32-2275 would be compatible with the Front Hitch part # 31322 on your 2012 Chevy Silverado. The hitch installs under the front of the vehicle and attaches to the outside of the frame rails and the Bull Bar installs by inserting into the frame rail and goes through the front fascia of the truck so they would both fit together.

• Front Mount Hitch Receiver and Winch Mount for a 2006 Ford F-350 4x4
  Curt front receiver # 31322 is designed for certain GM trucks so for your 2006 Ford F-350 4x4 it will not fit but you can use # 65022.

I have included a link to the options but please note not all of them are hitch mount options.

• Will A Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit on a 2009 Chevrolet Silverado With Boss Snow Plow?
  In my experience front mounted trailer hitch receivers will generally not fit on trucks with a snow plow mount also on the front. We do have the Curt # 31322 for 1500 models and the Curt # 31109 for 2500 & 3500 models if you would like to check their mounting pattern with the mounts for your Boss snow plow. I have linked the installations as well as installation videos for both these at the bottom of the page so you can check and see if they will fit with your plow. If the plow uses the...

  Yes, the front-mount trailer hitch receiver you referenced, Draw-Tite # 65052, is a confirmed fit for your 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. We do in fact offer another comparably-rated front hitch for your truck, the Curt # 31322. Both hitches install using included hardware, both will require a bit of trimming of the front fascia, and neither one requires any drilling. For reference I have linked an installation video for the Curt hitch as well as written installation instructions and...

  We do have front hitches for your 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 but the etrailer item # e98849 is not one and it will not fit on both the front and rear of your truck.

It has a 500 lbs vertical load limit and a gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs. I have linked an installation video below.

  The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31322 and Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65052 are the 2 options available for a front mounted receiver on your 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Both of these receivers will sit below the bumper and have identical load ratings of 500lbs tongue weight, 5,000lbs trailer capacity and 9,000lbs line pull.
