2004 Chevrolet Silverado
I had been waiting to find this Curt hitch on sale for a while.
First off I get to keep the hooks that came with my 2004 Silverado Crew cab 2500HD 4x4.
Then I removed two existing bolts and loosened a third on each hook.
Using a floor jack lifted the hitch into place and threaded in the new bolts through the frame and into the hooks.
The biggest problem I had was being able to reach the bolts into the side of the frame and hooks w/out removing the air dam.
Looks GREAT!!
I know some reviews have mentioned a reduction in ground clearance but my truck is not lifted and the clearance is nearly the same as the transmission skid plate installed by the factory.
I sometimes need to get low hard to see trailers into tight spaces and I’m also looking to pick up a winch. Looking forward to many years of hard work.
by: Dale Miles01/25/2014
Unbelievable how clean the install is for this product!! I was certain I would have to do some cutting or drilling, however not a single cut or new hole required. The product fit like it was straight from the factory ... even with the existing front Grille Guard that I have on my truck!!
I also appreciate the FAST shipping and customer service, as tracking info was emailed after the product shipped without requesting this info and the product arrived within the same week.
I've already recommended etrailer to other landscapers on lawnsite.com, as we're always looking for front-mount solutions for spreaders and other landscape equipment.

I have to say that I absolutely LOVE this product!! It works perfect for mounting my walk-behind fertilizer spreader to the front of my truck while having the larger PermaGreen spreader on the back of my truck. Having this front-mounted hitch has allowed me to carry both of my spreaders and not sprain my back while wrestling the smaller spreader out of the bed of my truck as I had before.

This was the easiest installation of the 10 or more hitches that I have installed. Four bolts out and replaced with four suppler bolts and washer. No modification of the air dam needed.
I needed some washers (supplied) between the frame and the receiver as spacers. I recommended that you figure out how many you need (1 or 2 per side), then lower it down and tape them in place to hold them in place and push the bolts through the tape after you lift it back in place.
Cover the ground with a rug or cardboard to keep from scratching the receiver when it’s on the ground before you lift it into place.

Still good. No corrosion or other issues.
by: Terry11/04/2021
This was possibly the easiest hitch install I've ever done! All the holes lined up, the onle thing was two of the bolts they supplied are not long enough,I had the longer bolts in stock and finished. I haul a truck camper so needed the extra cargo space, looks like it'll work!
there was 4 bolts in the kit to replace the bolts in the tow hooks, the 2 that went into the side where the ones that where too short, they where 1 3/4" I replaced them with 2 1/4" bolts. There was a gap between the hitch mount and the frame approximately 1/16" that a washer filled that gap. I'm a retired shop owner that did auto repair and fabrication so it was an easy install.

I will have our customer service team reach out to you. The hitch manufacturer prefers to have the hardware that comes with the hitch be used for warranty purposes.
by: Pat C.07/04/2020
I purchased the front hitch for my truck. With a fifth wheel I can’t carry bikes anywhere but the front. I really don’t trust the strength of the rear bumper on these RV’s. Hitch went on easy in the garage with no alterations needed. The bikes sit a bit high but that’s not the hitch problem....
I will also use it for other functions around the truck...push/re-locate utility trailer in tight spaces, use for a rack to haul stuff like firewood etc...when back hitch is unavailable.
by: David07/27/2022
Easy install; unobtrusive, but hitch receiver is far enough forward I can install the bike rack without needing an extension.
by: Wayne10/06/2022
Great product easy installation reinforces your front end will definitely buy again for my next truck

2003 GMC Sierra
This is the second hitch I've ordered for my truck. This hitch was very easy to install on the front of my GMC Sierra and is almost unnoticeable, which I like. I use it to transport a small Honda Trail 90 motorcycle, and it's 9000lb rating is well above what I am asking it to do. It arrived via UPS several days after ordering, was in good shape, and only took ten minutes to install with only two different size socket wrenches. Highly recommend this unit for the front of any truck.

2004 GMC Sierra 3500
The 31108 Front Mount Hitch Receiver was a perfect match for my 2004 GMC Sierra 3500. I seemed well built and the instructions were clear and easy to understand. I installed the hitch in under 45 minutes and that includes prep time. No special tools required. See photo attached.
by: Dahr05/21/2024
This fit my 2006 Silverdo 3500 easily - and it has been a great addition to be able to carry my motorcycle in front of the pickup while camping.
by: Chris12/22/2023
I waited 12 days for a shipment from amazon and the hitch was lost. They want to send me another hitch with a due date of January 6, 2024! You guys are the best! 2 day’s service was outstanding!!!
by: Bill Schmall 06/26/2014
I would add to your instruction, if you have the factory hooks, remove the four bolts as stated and give to customer, " loosen the other two bolts on the outside of frame" this gives you a little wiggle room to start the new bolts. BUT great product and great people.

Wonderful very satisfied with the sales department and the quality of the product
by: Doug05/16/2020
This hitch mounted to tow hooks just as described, even with existing brush guard. Needed it to haul a generator the only issue was the brush guard stuck out too far so I had to buy a 12" extender. Now every thing works as planned. Shipping was fast and customer service was great.
Thank You

Very good quality, Heavy Duty hitch that looks easy to install.
Ian W was very helpful with my order and customer service has been great.
This hitch fits the Chevy Silverado 2500 and 3500 I believe. My Chevy is a 2006 model.
I highly recommend Curt hitches and ETRAILER.COM.

The front hitch was easy to install and has been very useful. I just wished the 2006 Chevy Silverado had more clearance as far as height goes on the front end.Mine is a 4x4 but it could sure use a lift kit. The hitch is great though!

2005 Chevrolet Silverado
15 minute, piece of cake single-handed install. Instructions say cutting fascia optional on 2500. Not even close to needing to. Truck is 2005 Silverado 2500HD. Receiver sits up there nice and tight, so doesn't change ground clearances.

Hitch is in excellent condition even though it tried to get out of the box.

Repetitively easy to Mount and was still able to keep the factory toe hooks installed
by: Peter12/16/2022
I did not get a chance to put it on right away. Now that I have put the front hitch on , it looks great. It was harder getting the original old bolts off than it was putting on the hitch. The hitch went on quickly and now I can use it to put a plow on for these snowy Ohio winters.
by: Bob 01/30/2023
Easy install, the bolts that went into the recovery hooks were about 1/2” short and couldn’t get the threads to bite
by: Scott03/12/2023
I installed the hitch with no problems, looks great. The item was poorly packed for shipping and I consider myself lucky to see it arrive.
by: Andy G01/13/2015
I received the product (hitch) today and haven't had the opportunity to put it on my truck. I hope to do that this week or next. I can write an additional review at that time. Wayne H. did a great job clarifying which hitch would be best for my needs. I'll summit a picture after it is installed.

1 Year Review- The Hitch mount seems to have held up to the abuse of running my plow at my rural driveway400ft longand 1 to 2ft tall of drifting snow and my workplace in town3in to 1ft of snow and up to 2ft tall drifts at the building. I takes an hr to plow my workplace at minimum and I have pushed a lot of snow. I have broke my plow 2 times in this time frame. Im going to have to replace the hitch extension as its starting to bend but the hitch and mount seem held up well.I have been stuck in my driveway with my plow down and pile of snow bigger then my truck. Waiting for a back hoe to come dig me out 2 times. I straight abuse it for what its meant for and its done well. Very Happy

See what our Experts say about this CURT Front Receiver Hitch
- Curt Front Mounted Recevier 31108 vs 31109 Fit on a 2002 Chevy SilveradoAlthough the hitches look very similar, the # 31109 is for the 2nd gen 2008 Silverado like your friend's, and the # 31108 if a fit for the 1st gen, like your 2002 model. The two hitches are very similar, but the # 31109 would sit 2 inches lower on your truck than the proper fitting # 31108 would. If losing two inches of ground clearance isn't a deal breaker for you, your buddy's hitch would work fine for you. I've linked you to an install video that you might find helpful.

The hitch you referenced # 31049 is for Ford vehicles. I have included links to the installation instructions for each of the hitches that will fit your truck so you can see what each installation entails. There is no drilling required on the Draw-Tite or Curt hitches unless you will need to enlarge some holes. No new holes will be drilled.

As far as the fitment on your vehicle with the skid plates istalled, I checked with the supplier (Curt), they said they have not heard of any problems of them fitting with factory skid plates, but if the skid plates were a dealer installed item, which is an aftermarket item, they would not know because they do not test their fitments against aftermarket...

view full answer... - Front Hitch Recommendation for a 2006 GMC SierraIf your 2006 GMC Sierra is a 1500 LD then the Curt Hitch part # 31302 would be the correct front mount hitch. If you have a 1500HD or 2500HD/3500HD you would instead want the part # 31108. I attached install videos for both hitches for you to check out as well.

If your truck is badged as a 1500HD, you would use Curt part # 31108 instead. If your truck is not badged with HD, then you would use the 31302 for your front mount. If you have the Vortec 4800 or Vortec 5300 V8, you definitely have an LD. The 1500HD trucks got the Vortec 6000 V8.

For a roof rack I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex System, parts # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK227, which gives you a mounting point for the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier # e98878 which is the kayak carrier I recommend.

Since you have a Duramax engine in your truck, you most likely need a front mount hitch that will fit a 2500 or 3500 series pickup. The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver, item # 65028, for the 2500 and 3500 series trucks does...

I have included instructions for the proper installation of this front-mounted trailer hitch. You may find some issues with a front mounted bike rack however. Visibility may be an issue.

view full answer... - Front Mount Hitch for a 2002 GMC Sierra 2500HD for using a Fisher Minute Mount PlowThe Curt front mount hitch, part # 31108, will fit your 2002 GMC 2500. It provides a standard 2 inch receiver opening, so if that is what the Fisher plow needs, you should be set. I would double check with Fisher or the plow instructions to make sure what kind of attachment it needs. The hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 500 pounds and a gross load capacity of 5,000 pounds. I have added a link to the instructions below.

If it is a light duty then I give the edge to Curt, # 31302, because their powder coating holds up well and the hitch is made in the USA. If you have a 1500HD then Draw-Tite hitch # 65028 is more popular but again I would give the edge to Curt # 31108 for the same reasons described above. I have linked videos showing example installations of both hitches for you. In either case both the Curt and Draw-Tite hitches...

The standard railed carrier, like the Pro Series # 63153 measures 24x60. For something a bit narrow and longer at 49x 22-1/2, take a look at the Curt # C18113. Both carriers have a 500 lb capacity, but keep in mind that the weight of the carrier plays into the tongue weight as well. The carrier, the freezer and the meat in the freezer couldn't weigh more than 500 lbs. You should also consider that carrying a freezer on the front...

- Front Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 Light Duty or Heavy DutyIf your 2001 Chevy Silverado is a Light Duty model we have a couple of front mount hitches that will fit the Curt # 31302. If it was a 1500 Heavy Duty model then you would use # 65028 or # 31108. The differences between the LD and HD models of the 1500 require different hitches for each.
view full answer... - Is Fascia Trimming Required for Front Mount Hitch Installation on the 2005 Chevy 3500The directions state that Fascia trimming is optional on 2500 H.D./ 3500 models. This means that when the front mount hitch, item # 31108, is installed the bottom of the receiver tube will contact the air dam under the front bumper of your 2005 Chevrolet 3500 pickup. This contact over time will wear on the air dam, so you may decide to trim it a bit before installation of the hitch. Otherwise the hitch install is a direct bolt on installation with no drilling required. My recommendation...
view full answer... - Front Hitch Option for 2005 Chevy Silverado 3500Due to the design of the front of your 2005 Chevy Silverado 3500 the only place you'll be able to have a front hitch opening is below the front fascia like where the Curt # 31108 installs. This would be best option we have, but if you really needed something that sits higher you'd probably need to find a fabricator who would be willing to modify the front fascia of your truck and see if they could install one higher.
