With a 2" x 2" receiver opening and a Class IV rating, this Curt trailer hitch receiver is built for serious towing. It’s rated for a maximum gross trailer weight of 10,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 1,000 lbs. When used with weight distribution, those ratings climb to 12,000 lbs GTW and 1,200 lbs TW. That kind of strength lets you handle campers, boats, or utility trailers with ease, and you won’t be pushing the limits of your equipment. The sturdy square-tube design keeps your setup stable on the road.
This hitch bolts directly to the frame—no welding needed. The bolt-on installation lines up with factory mounting points for a clean fit that doesn’t require drilling or cutting. The complete hardware kit and instructions are included, so you’ve got what you need to get it done in the garage or driveway. Once it’s on, the receiver sits neatly below the bumper for a tidy, finished look that doesn’t take away from your vehicle’s style.
The fully welded steel construction gives this hitch lasting durability, while the gloss black powder coat finish over a protective base layer fights off rust and corrosion. Whether it’s rain, salt, or road grime, this finish helps keep the hitch looking good and performing strong over time. It’s made to stand up to whatever you throw at it—regular towing, storage carriers, or weekend gear hauls.
Once installed, the 2" receiver is ready for just about any towing accessory you need—ball mounts, bike racks, or cargo carriers all fit right in. Ball mount, pin, and clip are sold separately so you can choose exactly what fits your setup best. With this versatile hitch in place, you can switch from hauling trailers to carrying extra gear without a second thought.

Fit perfect and all the hardware was there. Seems to be the same size as factory hitch but actually built solid unlike the factory junk. Think it took longer to open the box and remove the plastic wrap than it did to actually install the hitch. Factory hitch had more pieces rusted put than solid
Good quality very pleased
Everything attached like clockwork. No complaints very quick install
Bolted right all holes were perfect location came with all bolts need . Installed in 30 minutes. 1 year of use so far and it’s been flawless 09 Silverado 10k curt hitch package
I haven't towed with it yet, but I just finished installing the hitch receiver I bought and it was easy. I'm not a professional, but I borrowed the sockets needed from my cousin. I did it myself in 40 minutes (much of that time was just taking my time to ensure I did it right). My order confirmation came with extremely helpful how-to videos that made for the easy installation. The hitch receiver looks very sturdy and should do the job.
This trailer hitch is better than oem. It is sealed at the ends to ensure the elements stay out to prevent internal deterioration.
I ordered this Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class IV 2" Item #14301 for a Chevy Silverado 1/2 ton with custom dual exhaust that exits under the rear bumper. The spread on these custom exhaust pipes is 42.5 inches and this hitch fit between the pipes with room to spare. The hitch shipped on a Sunday and arrived 3 days later on Wednesday in great condition. Shipping was via UPS ground from Missouri to Texas. All hardware was included and securely taped to the hitch. The etrailer.com web site also provided detailed tracking updates of the shipment.
This hitch is way heavier at 52 pounds and more heavy duty than the light weight factory hitch. I did have to remove the factory hitch before installing this Curt hitch. Installation is best done with 2 people as this hitch is heavy and bulky, but can be done by 1 person if safety measures are taken and you have adequate tools. No drilling was required. Spare tire removal is not required but removal would make hitch installation easier.
I would recommend etrailer.com for your towing needs due to fast shipping and competitive pricing. Thank you kindly etrailer.com.
Perfect fit, easy install. I would recommend better packaging
This receiver hitch is heavy duty and top quality. Definite improvement over the factory hitch. Installation was simple. We didn’t even need to lower the spare tire either. Battery powered 1/2” drive impact wrench with deep sockets and a box end wrench to remove old the bolts. Just impact sockets on the bolts supplied with the hitch. No box wrench needed because the carriage bolts and square washers hold themselves as you run up the nut.
Super easy to install and great quality. I just used it over the weekend and everything worked perfectly!
This hitch is nearly 3x thicker than what came OEM on my '07 Silverado 1500.
Years of towing on the unforgiving roads of the Northeastern USA had beaten that OEM hitch into submission, peening the receiver pin hole oval. Rust was also eating away at it at the same time. There is much less clearance in the receiver box than there was on the OEM - this is a GOOD thing. That sloppy OEM beat itself to death from day 1.
The only gripe I have is the packaging - I would have preferred the corrosion resistance of an unblemished factory paint job, but this one got beat a little. Other than that, very pleased with it.
Great hitch, definite upgrade from OEM hitch that rusted out. GM owners check your OE hitch. Super easy install with supplied hardware. Took about a hour to mount. Great price too!
Best. Receiver. Ever! The Curt Class 4 receiver arrived at my door step a few days after ordering. I shopped around quite a bit and etrailers beat all of the other competitors in price by a fair amount. It’s built for heavy duty use, compared to the OEM receiver. They should put these on all trucks that come off the assembly line. The original receiver had two decent size cracks. It took a little longer for installation on my 2009 Chevy 1500. I recommend blasting the nuts and bolts with some sort of penetrating oil a day before installation. Took me 2 hours to unbolt the factory hitch. If you’re installing by yourself, I recommend using a couple cam straps to help hold the receiver near the frame in order to get a bolt in. Other than that installation went fast and smooth! I have been recommending etrailers and Curt receivers to all my friends!
I went through etrailer when I needed a trailer hitch for my old Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the service was great from them. So naturally, I ordered my new trailer hitch for my new Chevy Silverado through etrailer as well. Their instructions and installation videos make installing your new trailer hitch on your own quick and easy. I would recommend etrailer to anyone looking for a new trailer hitch!
fit great
packaged securely no shipping damage
kind of a short reciever4 sthroat bot no worries
Finally got it installed! It fit perfect. I am totally satisfied with the purchase.
Thank you.
This is a outstanding hitch. All of the hardware came with it. The new hitch mounted up to my pickup perfectly. My old hitch was rusting badly and needed replaced on my 2011 Chevy Silverado.
I would definitely order again for another vehicle.

It is still working just fine. No issues at all. I would definitely purchase again.
The top of the box was found blown open when delivered but all the hardware was there. It was well secured to the hitch. The hitch seemed significantly thicker than the old hitch and had a nice shiny finish. I used wood blocking and a rope to raise the hitch high enough for me to crawl underneath and connect one fastener to the one remaining welded nut still attached to the frame. After that, the install was a breeze. The other welded nut was ripped from the frame in removing the bolt from the old hitch. A new nut had to be purchased. The rust I found in removing the old hitch was extreme. Rust had made a couple of holes completely through the old OEM hitch even though I removed and painted it a few years beforehand. I ended up painting and coating with fluid film the entire area around the hitch and behind the spare tire before installing the new hitch. I didn't remove the spare tire for the install as suggested in the instructions as I was pretty familar with the area as I spent a lot of time under there removing the old hitch and doing prep work and, therefore, was confident I could do it without removing it. The time spent installing the new hitch itself was a drop in the bucket compared to my other time under there. I probably spent less than 2 hours installing it and that included stopping to get a new nut at a hardware store.
Perfect fit. Very easy to install. Much better quality than the factory hitch.
Received my trailer hitch however this is how it showed up. Hopefully all the parts are still in box, I would definitely look into who your using as carrier.
Heavy Duty for its class. Easy Install.
I had no intention of buying a new hitch. I had taken my truck to have an exhaust pipe welded and the tech reported my hitch was rusted bad enough that he could put his screw driver through it. After confirming his claims I purchased this hitch. I have used it to tow several times over the past year and I have had no problems with it. The install was a straightforward and quick process
Perfect fit, easy installation and great price!

It still looks and functions as new. I tow a car trailer often and this hitch has been great. I will be replacing my truck soon and if my new truck needs a hitch I know where I’ll be buying it from. Great prices and great services.
Replaced the OEM hitch receiver that rotted from the inside out on a 2008 GMC 1500. Fit perfect and looks like it belongs on the truck. It sits at the right height and the crossbar blends with the bumper.
This Class IV hitch receiver is excellent in quality, appearance, and eTrailer's price was the lowest I could find for this model. Ordering it was quick and easy with the experienced sales rep that helped me. It arrived undamaged and on-time. Installation was a snap - no holes to drill, no hardware to buy, and two people installed it in under 45 minutes. Thanks eTrailer for such great customer service and providing a high quality product!!

Still solid and tight after a year of towing everything from boats to trailers to campers. No signs of rust.
