No problems, easy install! My oversize spare fits ok, 235/85-16
Install was a snap. Did it with with no help, using small rope to hold hitch up. hole alignment was spot on.
Very easy to install good hitch and etrailer customer service five star was delivered on time reliable company and I will do business with them again
Hitch was a perfect fit and bolted up fast and easy. Great hitch for
any amount of money. I highly recommend the hitch.
Very straightforward install, just remove the spare and bolt on. Product is very heavy duty and well designed. I put this hitch on a 1990 GMC stepside 1500 series truck. Thanks
Great product. Fantastic service. I would strongly recommend etrailer.com to anyone. I will be back for my next hitch.
Incredible value for the money. Many other hitch brands are twice as expensive. Installation was about an hour once I spent 3 hours cutting the old rusty hitch off. Everything went perfect. Great product.
Well built and heavy. It was a bit challenging to lift it into place and fasten by myself but I was able to do it.
The receiver has to be bolted where my existing tail light ground was so I had to move that to another area on the frame. That added some time and effort to the install.
My first hitch receiver install and it took me a couple hours due to the ground issue for the light harness.
The delivery time was as stated . . . . ASAP. The Class IV hitch was fast and easy to install with included instructions.
I have bought from etrailer before and will buy again when I need something they sell.
etrailer is a no nonsense supplier of quality products!
Hitch on my 1999 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup 2 Dr. Extended Cab.
This installation was on a '90 GMC 1/2 ton 4x4 with regular cab, and the short 6 1/2 ft bed. The pickup came with the z71 package and 265/75R16 tires from the factory. The first thing I did was drop the spare out of the way. The ground wire is in the way for any hitch install on my pickup so I removed the wire, extended it three inches and reinstalled it to the frame using an unused hole in the frame. It is a good idea to clean off the rust with some sandpaper before attaching the ground wire. The next thing I noticed was the hitch has a hole to clear a bolt on the passenger side, but the hole just barely clears the bolt and actually ends up resting on the flange of the bolt. There is no room to move the hitch over to miss the flange without it riding on a rivet on the driver's side. I did not like the hitch riding off the frame like that so I removed this bolt and ground one side of the flange off (see pics). Now the hitch sits flat on the frame. The next issue was the spare tire. I took a picture of the spare before mounting the hitch. After bolting the hitch in place I took a picture of it again. I did not like the tight fit of the 265 spare with this hitch. As you can see in the pictures the rubber brake line is rubbing on the tire. As the suspension moves, the spare and the brake line will rub. You could wrap the brake line in a rubber hose if you really wanted to keep a 265R16 spare under the bed, and that might protect the brake hose from damage, but I chose to replace the spare with a smaller tire. I went with a 225/75R16 for it's narrower width and smaller diameter. I also took a picture of this spare and now there is sufficient space around the brake line I feel. I could have even went with a slightly taller tire it looks like. I have heard of some people bending the brake line out of the way, but it wasn't the way I wanted to go. At first I was considering getting a hitch like the Draw-Tite 41525 for its spare tire clearance, but then I noticed a few exposed square tube hitches on the road and decided personally it wasn't the look I wanted on my pickup. So I started looking at concealed square tube hitches like this one and Draw-Tite's 41524. There are some good pictures of a 41524 install here on etrailer. If you look at those pictures, the square tubing rests as close as it can to the bumper, whereas on this Curt there is a gap of 1 to 1 1/4 inches between the bumper and the hitch (see my pics). I don't know if the difference is from different pickups or the hitches are different. I suspicion the 41524 is made to fit closer to the bumper giving you that extra inch or so of extra room for your spare. If you really wanted to stuff a tire as big as the 265 in front of your concealed square tube it looks to me like the 41524 may give you a slight advantage. Perhaps it would not be enough to avoid the brake line though. I'm not sure whether I would have needed to go down to a smaller tire with the 41524 hitch or not, but I wouldn't doubt that I still would have put a smaller tire on even with the slight advantage the 41524 gives. If I couldn't accept any spare tire conflicts with a hitch there were two hitches I was considering that may not interfere. These hitches do show the tubes below the bumper (I think) but they are round tubes which I personally think look better than the square tubes when exposed. The Reese multi-fit 37069 (5,000 lb rating) and 37034 (7,000 lb rating) are the two round tubes I was considering. With the 37034 the weld nuts must be removed for bigger 5/8 inch bolts, while the smaller version bolts right into the factory weld nuts. I would like to see a picture of these hitches installed but could not find any. Being multi-fit they are not specifically made for your Chevy, but fit Fords etc. The 37034 is a bit heavier than this Curt at 63 lbs vs 47. They do not appear to be available here at etrailer. If you wanted to try one you could probably call etrailer and have them order one for you. I know I did this with a tow hook they did not offer and etrailer was really good at finding this hook for me. I was deciding between these four hitches for my pickup. I wouldn't doubt that all four would have been good choices. I do like the Curt I got. It is the lightest weight of the four and has the highest weight rating. It looks good and is concealed very well up under the bumper. I only had to make one concession and that was in the spare tire department. I do think this Curt compromises spare tire space more than the other three mentioned but I found a way around that which works for me. I do not know if all Chevies are going to have the same dimensions as mine. Mine is different than most being a regular cab and going back a ways in years. The tools I used were:
13 mm socket (to remove the ground wire)
15 mm socket and wrench (to remove the bolt I shaved down)
18 mm socket (to remove the factory bolts out of the weld nuts)
19 mm socket (to install the new Curt bolts)
I actually bought a deep 19 just for this job as the Curt bolts are long and I felt I could get on them better with a deep socket.
I installed this hitch all by myself and I am 67 years old. I used a couple of ropes to help me (picture). I had to do some simple fitting like. Chamfering the sides of one of the lips (picture) to fit flush between 2 rivets.. I had to drill and tap a new hole for the ground wire. I also installed a new wire harness for the trailer lights. I had to drill and tap a new hole for the ground wire for that also. These are very simple tasks and I took my time to make sure everything was just right. I also had to make 2 trips to the hardware store for an 18mm socket. (Seems all socket sets jump from 17 to 19mm). Then I had to go back for a 6in. extension for my torque wrench. I actually enjoyed the project. Total time=several leisure hours.
Fits as it should.
Straight forward and fairly easy install.

Well, For several pieces of metal that have been welded together and then bolted to my frame, Its still there doing its job as it should. The receiver is still receiving. When I hook a trailer on to my hitch the trailer follows my truck down the road without going off on its own which is a plus.
Great price, fast shipping and arrived as described. I installed the hitch in 30 minutes, no need to remove the spare tire, while babysitting my 2 and 4 year old granddaughters. Too easy.

No issues after a year of use.
This is my second hitch that I purchased from e-trailers. I absolutely loved this hitch installation process. The two videos cover just about every installation scenario possible, but the instructions that come with it covers even more nuances specific to your pickup. I was able to get this installed in less than an hour and super happy with the experience. The fact that I was able to call and talk to someone about how to take the proper measurements and really ensure that the hitch was going to be a 100% perfect fit, is priceless. Couldn't find that anywhere else.
Bolt on as expected. It amazed me that finding the right hitch was difficult until I found you guys. Thanks for the prompt service.
