• Do Trailer Hitches Fit Multiple Years Of The Chevy Silverado
  A lot of the trailer hitches available for the 2013 Chevrolet Silverado fit a span of over multiple years as long as the generation does not change. For example the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98849 fits 1999 - 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. I would need to know if the 2013 chevy Silverado is a half-ton, three quarter or 1 ton. I would also need to know the bed size and if the truck is a cab chassis model in order to tell you which trailer hitches fit which years.

• Difference Between Curt & etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500
  Good question, and there is just a single difference between the Curt and etrailer trailer hitches that fit your 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500, which is the finish. The Curt has a glossier finish than the matte black finish of the etrailer hitch, so you can choose which you prefer: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98849 - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13322 The matte black finish is nice as it hides the inevitable dings, scuffs and scratches better than the glossy finish, so that's the...

• Will the etrailer.com Hitch e98849 Fit a Silverado 2500 HD?
  The etrailer.com Hitch # e98849 is designed to fit the 2003 Silverado 1500 and 2500 LD models, so it will not fit your HD. However, I do have an alternate option available.

• How to install the Etrailer Class III hitch part # e98849 on a 2011 GMC Sierra
  The bolt closest to the front of the vehicle in the photo you sent, once it's removed the hole does not get used with the Etrailer hitch Item # e98849. The hitch will actually use the two rear most holes on each frame rail and the two holes in the bottom of the bumper. The reason one bolt is facing up is because the hole closest to the rear of the vehicle is a pre-existing weld nut that the bolt actually threads into. The bolt facing down will use a spacer block to keep the head of the...

• What Trailer Hitch for a 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 Fits Long Bed Models
  The bed size does not matter for a frame mounted trailer hitch on a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, they will all work with both short and long bed models. The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98849 is what I recommend as a pretty basic, no drill trailer hitch. It is rated for 6,000 lbs which isn't the highest for this vehicle but will be plenty for most trailers for this vehicle so there is no need to pay more for a higher rated one.

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Lowered 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500
  If you have the stock bumper then the hitches made to fit the stock bumper would work well for you. For that we have the etrailer.com hitch part # e98849 as a confirmed fit. This won't fit behind the license plate though. The roll pan bumper hitches like the part # 13932 might work for this since that's how they install but we can't guarantee they'll work with the factory bumper.

• Would Trailer Hitch from 1995 Chevy Silverado fit 2001 Chevy Silverado
  There was a pretty big generation change between 1998 and 1999 Chevy Silverados which meant the hitch manufacturers had to redesign a hitch for the trucks. That means you'd need a new hitch for the 2001 Silverado like the # e98849.

• Will Hitch From Early 90's Chevy C/K Series fit a 2007 GMC Sierra 1500
  The 1992 Chevy C/K series trucks and the 2007 GMC Sierra, whether it be a Sierra Classic or the new body style would use different hitches, unfortunately the hitch from your older Silverado wouldn't work on your GMC Sierra as the frames were different. For your 2007 Sierra 1500, if you have the Sierra Classic, I'd recommend the etrailer brand # e98849 Class III hitch that you'd looked at which has a 6000 lb towing/600 lb tongue weight capacity or 10000 lb/1000 lb if used with weight distribution....

• Difference Between Class III and Class IV Hitches for 2004 Chevy Silverado
  Class III hitches that fit your 2004 Chevy Silverado like the # e98849 just aren't made for the same towing capacities as the Class IV hitches like # C14332. You'll notice that the Class IV mentioned here has more bolts that attach it to the truck frame as the most obvious difference. Other than that it's more or less the thickness of the metal used etc.

• Recommended Hitch and Weight Distribution System for a 2005 GMC Sierra
  I would be happy to help you set your 2005 GMC Sierra up to tow your trailer. With that low of a towing capacity I can safely assume you have a 1500. That is what my recommendations are going to be based on. Along with a weight distribution system you're going to need a hitch and a brake controller as well. That heavy of a trailer will require brakes. For your hitch you will want the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver item # e98849. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It is custom...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 1999 Chevy Silverado 2500 6.0 L
  What you are looking at there is the Reese class 3 multi fit hitch 37041. That hitch is probably about 20 years old. We do not carry this hitch here at etrailer, but I was able to find some specs on the Reese website. There is a fairly long list of vehicles that this will fit, but Chevy Silverado is not on that list. It is mostly Chevy express and GMC savanna models that it fits. I will include the link for you below if you want to take a look. That being said, if you need a hitch for...

  The 2011 and 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 models were different enough that the hitch fits had to change. So for example, the # e98849 fits the 2011 but not the 2018 and the # e98860 fits the 2018 but not the 2011.
