Features to know about

Add Real Towing Power Without Extra Hassle: Class III 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver

This Curt hitch is built with a sturdy, square-tube design and a 2" x 2" receiver opening, ready for towing up to 6,000 lbs gross trailer weight and handling 600 lbs of tongue weight. When used with weight distribution, it steps up to 10,000 lbs GTW and 1,000 lbs TW. That gives you serious capacity for small campers, boats, or utility trailers without needing anything more than a solid bolt-on install.

Skip the Welding and Complicated Installs: Bolt-On Design with Included Hardware

You won’t need special tools or a lift to get this hitch mounted. It bolts right to the frame using the included hardware kit and clear instructions—no welding required. It’s made for DIY installs with standard hand tools and can be handled solo if you plan ahead. Once it’s on, everything lines up cleanly for bike racks, cargo carriers, or a ball mount so you can start using it right away.

Built to Last Through Every Haul: Powder-Coated Steel for Rust Resistance

The fully welded steel construction gives this hitch its strength, while a gloss black powder coat over a protective base coat keeps corrosion in check. It’s durable enough for daily towing or weekend trips and keeps looking sharp even after long use. The finish also helps guard against chips and rust from road grime and weather exposure.

Easy, Easy , Easy. It took me 22 min. to install this hitch. And saved over $ 145.00
thanks

Installed in 15 minutes finish was great. Fast shipping and good pricing. No complaints here!

Sturdy and easy install. etrailers videos makes this as easy as can be.

Hitch and plug actually came 4 days earlier than expected. Installation was a breeze. Looks great . Thanks.

Only received 4 bolts for mounting on truck frame. Had to local purchase two additional. Other than that, item received is what we expected.

Oh no, I am sorry about that. Let me go ahead and get some compensation for you needing to purchase more bolts.

No problems.

Went on easy. Didn't have to remove spare tire. Needed an extra set of hands to line it up. 20 minute install. Follow the video on e-trailer and it's a no brainer. Make sure to torque and mark your bolts to see if they move at all.



by:

Good quality and perfect fit. All necessary hardware included. Fast shipping and great price. Watched the simple online instructions first and had no issues. Had it installed in less than half an hour (it is best to have a helper). A great addition to my 2017 Silverado.



by:

Took an hour to install solo with the truck on the ground and the help of a jack stand as my extra set of hands. Followed the steps in the video. Paper directions that came with the product weren’t very helpful because the pictures were poor quality. Video is superb though.



by:

Hitch and wiring connector just what I expected. Super fast shipping. My first experience with Etrailer and would recomend to anyone. Great Job !



by:

Product came quickly, packaged nicely, but the hitch did not fit without modifications. The hitch was up against the bumper support and would not align the holes correctly. I had to drill out the holes wider in order to fit. Other then that I'm satisfied with it.



by:

I ordered the Curt C13175 trailer hitch. The hitch was high quality and very easy to install. etrailer was awesome. The product shipped the same day I ordered it and arrived two days shad of the projected delivery date.



by:

I cannot say enough about simplicity of putting this product in. I am constantly ordering something for my vehicles. Nothing ever fits and has to be modified if it is not "OEM". Not this product - I honestly told the guys in my shop to double check it again because that was too easy. It is a shame etrailer doesn't sell classic VW parts - I recently restored a 67 beetle from the frame up and had 2 parts out of 161 actually not have to be modified in some case.
If you want parts that fit and don't cause stress, order from etrailer. I won't shop anywhere else if they have the part.



by:

The trailer hitch was a perfect fit for my GMC Sierra. It does take two people to lift it into place and get the bolts started. Installation took about half an hour.



by:

I purchased a Curt Receiver Hitch for my 2016 GMC Seirra. Etrailer.com had the best price by far. Also free shipping. Another plus. My hitch came in in three days. Very easy to put on could have used a couple of extra hands as others have said but still went on quick. I will let others know about etrailer.com. I put my hitch to work this weekend and no complaints so far.



by:

The Curt Trailer Hitch is a great product, overall the construction was solid and the product was well finished. I purchased this product for my 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 long bed base model work truck without a factory receiver hitch installed.

I installed the trailer hitch myself in less than an hour with basic heavy duty tools, it was a tight fit and not much room for adjustment. I also didn't like the metal to metal contact with the factory bumper hitch support bar, that is why I'm giving it 4 out of 5 stars. I had minor difficultly installing it myself and a second pair of hands would have made the install faster. Once in place and all the hardware was tight this hitch looks great.

performed as expected excellent customer service

Hitch fit just like the video showed. Installation was done very easy. My shipment was broken into along the shipping route and the wire harness was lost. etrailer shipped me a replacement when I contacted them. Great customer service.

Hitch has been working perfect for the last year. Ive used it many time and have never had any issues.



by:

Installed the hitch this morning, by myself with a floor jack, I am 71 years old so took me about 1 hour. Everything fit perfect. Didn't lower the spare but taped the washers on just like the video. Most trouble was with the electrical plugs. Couldn't get the factory plug loose. Finally found the elusive lock. Very pleased with the product, timely shipping and packaging. Sorry no pictures.

Great just towed a car trailer with a car on it. Perfect??



by:

Purchased this tow bar for a 2018 Chevy Silverado 4x4 1500 Extended (Double) cab. The installation was a snap after watching the EZ Trailer video. Total time to install was about 15 minutes with the help of a 2nd pair of hands to hold the other side of hitch when bolting it on. There was no need to remove the spare tire as the hitch fit perfectly around it and into the frame's factory made holes. Would recommend using an impact type wrench for an easier install. Great product and at a great price. Would recommend.

Have used my easily installed E-Trailer hitch several times in the 1st year. Very happy with this product and the simple installation required for my 2018 1500 Silverado. Would defiantly recommend.



by:

Great product, shipped quickly in great shape with good finish. Heavy duty looks good on truck.



by:

Couldn't be happier! Ordered the Curt #13175 and Hopkins #40975 wiring kit on a Friday afternoon and it shipped that night. The following Monday was Memorial Day so didnt expect it until Thursday but it was delivered Tuesday! Easy install on both parts (highly recommend a second pair of hands with the trailer hitch) and am a happy camper!!! This was on a 2015 GMC Sierra 1500.



by:

Fit perfect and was an easy install, packaging was great so it arrived damage free… very pleased!

  • Why Will the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C15323 Not Fit a 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500
    I spoke with Curt about the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15323 for your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and they stated that the reason this is not a confirmed fit is because the factory light duty bumper mount hitch must be removed and GM states not to remove this on the 2015 model year. It will bolt onto the vehicle just fine but the issue is with the removal of the factory light duty bumper mount hitch. There was also a generation change between 2014 and 2015. Therefore, I recommend...

  • Determining Correct Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
    The difference between 1500LD and the standard 1500 is the LD is the 2018 body style, where the standard 1500 is the new body style. If your truck is the older 2018 body style then you will need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13175 which has a 600lb tongue weight rating and 6000lbs trailer weight rating or 1000lb tongue weight rating and 10000lb trailer weight rating if using a weight distribution hitch. Now if your truck is the new body style you will...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 with Long Bed
    The hitches I have linked for your 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 are ones that fit all styles according to the manufacturers. This means that regardless of the bed size the hitch will fit. The # C13175 isn't a confirmed fit for your 2000 Chevy. If you instead have a 1500 with 10 inch deep drop bumper or aftermarket roll pan bumper you will need a different style hitch. A great Class III trailer hitch for your 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is the # 41534. I went out to our warehouse...

  • Recommended Socket Size to Install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13175 on 2016 Chevy Silverado
    It is possible that the manufacturer uses different size hardware based on model year and even sometimes within the same model year. I can confirm that the video (attached) clearly shows the 21 mm on the socket itself so I can confirm that is not only what was said, but is also what was the correct fit for that particular vehicle. I'd get both sockets to be safe because the the 22mm socket referenced the installation instructions will fit the hardware that will come with the hitch. You...

  • Installing a Curt Class III Trailer Hitch on a 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 6-1/2 Foot Bed
    The factory bar, or what the hitch instructions call the beam, does not have to be removed on your 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 to install Curt trailer hitch # C13175. I have linked the instructions to the right for you to view. For this hitch I also recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 Long Bed
    Popularity of items comes into play when manufacturers determine pricing. The Class III Curt hitch for your 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500, # C13175, is the more popular option even though the Class IV hitch # C14006 has a higher capacity. Based on that I recommend the Class IV. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. The recommended ball mount for this hitch and vehicle is # C45341. It has a 3 inch rise or 4 inch drop and takes a ball with a 1-1/4 inch shank such as...

  • Replacement Hitch Installation Hardware for Curt 13175
    It sounds like you're looking for hitch installation hardware for your Curt # C13175 hitch; for that you'll want to use part # RHK and then put that hitch part number in the field for "Hitch Item Number". That would allow you to purchase a specific hardware kit for that Curt hitch.

  • Does Curt Hitch C13175 For 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 Require Removal of Bumper Bracket
    The Curt hitch part # C13175 is a fit for your 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 and does not require the removal of the bumper beam. You will remove the bumper bracket bolts and then run the hardware of the hitch through the holes that secure the bumper bracket. But the bumper bracket does not get removed. I attached an install video for you to check out as well for more info.

  • Hitch, Brake Controller & Related Towing Items for 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Long Bed
    We can help you get your 2014 Silverado 1500 long bed ready for towing your trailer. Your owner's manual is the best place to confirm the truck's towing capacity but you can also check with your local dealership using the truck VIN. It sounds like you need a 2-inch ball mount with about 4-inches of drop to allow your hitched trailer to remain level, which is important for good handling. You can use ball mount/ball combo # C45056 or use our ball mount kit # 989900 which has two ball mounts,...

  • Truck Bed Bike Rack and Tonneau Cover Compatibility on 2015 GMC Sierra 1500
    We do offer both truck bed bike racks and tonneau covers for your 2015 GMC Sierra 1500. Certain combinations of bike racks and covers will not be compatible with each other but certainly there will be combinations of a tonneau and a truck-bed rack that will work well together. If you have a hitch on your Sierra this can give you both high bike carrying capacity via a hitch-mount rack AND avoid any interference with a fully-closed tonneau cover. We offer Curt 2-inch Class III hitch # C13175...

  • Is There a Set Length of Safety Chain Needed When Towing Trailer
    That's hard to answer but basically it comes down to the best length that allows the truck to make tight turns without binding the chains up but also doesn't drag the ground. Since the mounts on the trailer can be in various places it's hard to give an exact figure. I attached a link to a page that has all of the safety chains we offer as well.

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Chevy Silverado 6-1/2 ft Bed
    For a hitch for your 2015 Chevy Silverado with a 6-1/2 ft bed you would want the Curt Hitch part # C13175. For ball mounts I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag.
