Features to know about

Built for Big Loads: Handles Up to 20,000 lbs GTW and 2,700 lbs TW

This Class V receiver is made for serious towing jobs. Rated for 20,000 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and 2,700 lbs maximum tongue weight, it’s ready for heavy equipment, large campers, or loaded utility trailers. The square-tube construction and precision robotic welds make the hitch strong and consistent all the way through. It’s also compatible with weight distribution systems that keep your setup level and stable under load.

Keep It Clean and Protected: Powder Coat Over Bonderite Base

Towing gear takes a beating, so corrosion resistance matters. This hitch has a black carbide powder coat finish over a rust-resistant liquid Bonderite coating. The two-layer protection keeps moisture and road grime from getting to the steel underneath. The open-back receiver also makes it easy to clear out dirt or debris after a trip down gravel roads or muddy trails.

Straightforward Install: Bolt-On Design With Complete Hardware Kit

No welding or frame mods are needed to get this hitch mounted. It bolts right to the frame using the included hardware kit, and everything lines up cleanly thanks to the vehicle-specific design. Whether you’re tackling the job in a driveway or shop bay, it’s built to go on without drilling. Once installed, you’ve got a solid 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" receiver that’s ready for towing, cargo carriers, or other heavy-duty accessories.

Probably not all the fault of etrailer but received a box with one bolt and one nut and one backing plate. Everything else fell out. I reached out to the number provided and it's been four days still no response. Maybe this will help.

  • Replacing Factory Hitch 2025 GMC Sierra 2500HD
    Hi Eric, Thanks for your question. As long as you are able to remove the factory hitch from your 2025 GMC Sierra 2500, the # C96CR will work as a replacement. Of note, the # C96CR will more than likely mount up a bit differently than your factory hitch. The receiver opening on aftermarket hitches can also end up sitting lower than the opening on the factory hitch because of how they install to the frame. The # C96CR is rated for up to 20,000 lbs of gross trailer weight and 2,700...

  • Does the Curt Hitch C96CR Sit Lower than the OEM Hitch on a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
    Yes, it does. We actually installed the Curt Hitch item # C96CR on a 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 and found from the ground to the top of the receiver tube is 20". That was on a base model Silverado with the factory wheels and tires so there may be some discrepancy if you've got a different package on your Silverado. The Curt Hitch item # C96CR is custom fit for the 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500. It includes all hardware necessary to complete the installation. This is a class V hitch with a...

  • Availability of 2-1/2" Hitch for 2024 Silverado 2500 That Won't Interfere With Multi-Flex Tailgate
    Hi Mike; I'm assuming you don't have a factory hitch on your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 ZR2. If that is the case, you can use the Curt # C96CR. The receiver on this hitch will sit under the bumper and Curt confirmed it won't interfere with the multi-flex tailgate. The only thing it might hit is a ball mount if you choose to leave it in place. If you have a ball mount like the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - Compatible with GM MultiPro Tailgate # BWTS20066BMP it wont' be a problem. You could...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Chevy Silverado 3500
    To add a heavy duty trailer hitch to your 2023 Chevy Silverado 3500, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C96CR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Silverado with included hardware. This hitch only fits the standard Silverado 3500's without a factory hitch. It will not fit the cab and chassis models. The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C96CR is made in the USA, has a 2-1/2" receiver, and weighs 84 lbs. It is a class V hitch with a 20,000 lbs towing capacity, and a 2,700 lbs maximum...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Fit If I Remove the OEM Hitch Off of My 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500
    Yes, as long as you remove all of the OEM hardware and brackets the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C96CR will fit your 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500 without any issues. This does install a little differently though as it secures to the bottom of the frame rail instead of having the brackets inserted into the frame rail like your current hitch. Attached is a link to the installation instructions for you to check out.

  • What is the Difference between the Curt Hitches # C96CR and # C36CR for a 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500?
    There are some differences to consider between the Curt Hitch # C96CR and the # C36CR on your 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500. The first difference is the weight rating. While the # C96CR offers 2,700 pounds of max tongue weight and 20,000 pounds of max gross towing weight, the # C36CR offers 2,550 pounds of max tongue weight and 17,000 pounds of max gross towing weight. The second difference is the hitch receiver opening. The # C96CR has a 2-1/2 inch opening while the # C36CR has a 2-inch...

  • Looking for Picture of Curt Hitch C96CR Installed
    Hey Matt, while we haven't had the chance to get a picture of the Curt hitch part # C96CR installed we have had chance with the 2 inch version of the hitch part # C35CR which I attached below. It's on a truck with a service body though so that may or may not be what you are looking for.

  • Difference Between 2-1/2 Inch Curt Trailer Hitch C96CR & C15800 For 2021 Chevy Silverado 3500
    Good question, and the difference is what they fit; the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15800 is designed to fit cab and chassis frames of not only a Chevy, but also Ram trucks. Cab and chassis frames are much narrower than pickup frames, which is why they are different fits. So if your Silverado 3500 is a cab and chassis, you can use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15800. Otherwise, if your '21 Chevy Silverado 3500 is a standard pickup, the correct fit for a 2-1/2 inch hitch is the...

  • Will The Curt C96CRHitch Fit a 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 Without A Factory Hitch
    The Curt hitches that fit a 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 without a factory installed hitch are actually the exact same fitments for the 2021 and 2022 model years, including their # C96CR, so you are perfectly good to go. This will also be the most heavy duty option we currently have available for your Silverado and is rated up to 20,000 pounds towing and 2,700 pounds of tongue weight. Though there is no drill needed to get this installed, you will need to lower your spare tire to get access...

  • Differences Between Curt Trailer Hitches for a 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500HD
    I'd be more than happy to help you decide what Curt trailer hitch to install on your 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500! The initial difference between them are the weight and class ratings. The higher the class rating the higher the weight rating: Class III Hitch - # C55CR Class IV Hitch - # C35CR Class V Hitch - # C36CR Hitch - # C96CR The Class V hitches have massive tow weight ratings so unless your truck is rated for really heavy duty towing it's not really worth installing something with...

  • What Hitch do You Recommend for My 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500?
    The best hitch available for your 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 is the Curt Hitch - 2-1/2" # C96CR. Not only does this provide you with the most weight capacity for a hitch we carry for your vehicle (2,700 pounds of tongue weight/20,000 pounds of maximum gross towing capacity), it also comes with a gloss outer coating over the base powder coat to provide you with superior protection against rust and corrosion. As far as installation, it is a pretty easy process that takes only about 40 minutes...

  • Do I Need to Modify the Curt # C96CR to Fit a Hitch Pin for My 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500?
    No, you will not need to do any modifications to the Curt Hitch - 2-1/2" # C96CR in order to fit a hitch pin. Since the C96CR does not come with a pin, it is always a good idea to have a locking hitch pin for extra theft-deterrence if you are planning to attach a trailer or accessory. For the pin, I recommend the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # C23519.
