This item rocks. Replaced my Class 3 hitch on my 2005 Silverado. Easy install, easily allows me to pull my 7,600 lb boat and tri-axle trailer. Nice unit, and I highly recommend to anyone wanting to upgrade their stock GM hitch. 352977

Hitch is still performing great! Have made many tows with other trailers [rental trailer], rental equipment, etc Not one issue! I tow with great confidence.

Installation was quick and easy, it did come missing the self tapping sheet metal screws and two of the spacers. Haven’t used the hitch yet. 1277021

I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.

The receiver is great. Chelsie and Caroline are very good at their job and extremely helpful. I ordered my part thru etrailer because it heard good things and the delivery time was what I needed. But…. Somehow my delivery was messed up due to UPS saying they needed COD ( besides the fact that they tried to deliver the part to the wrong address on the original delivery date ) Long story short UPS was saying that they needed etrailer to send them a manuscript to show the shipping was paid and to confirm who the sender was and the receiver was and the correct addresses for each . I’m not going to place the blame solely upon etrailer or UPS, but whoever was at fault for the screw up, but delivery dates are as important to the buyer as the sales are to the seller, and sometimes the selling point. I want to thank Chelsie and Caroline for being so kind and the help they gave me. I give them 5 Stars 1270760

It's a great hitch. It was an easy install. The chain clip holes are a little difficult to get the safety chain clips into. 1245309

Great product, installs exactly how it says it does, however the weight of the product online is slightly misleading (weight on strainer and on B&W) it weighs around 110lbs it is not possible for one person to install alone. GREAT PRODUCT 678227

I received a hitch for a 1500 truck not a 2500. I don’t think it showed the description very well of what it would fit. I will be returning it. 1265809

I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you. The hitch that would fit a 2007 2500 GMC Sierra 6.5 bed with a factory bumper would be part # BWHDRH25182

I just received my B&W hitch. Very fast shipping and It was easy and quick to install. I have bought from etrailer before and I will order again. 851805

Fit great and is working good, fir better than the OEM hitch and I would buy again.

Fits as it should comes with all necessary hardware only thing is if you have after market exhaust you may have to cut it off and route it a different way. Other than that I'm pulling a 28 foot travel trailer with a short wide chevy with weight distribution,pulled great. 246881

After the factory hitch rotted out I replaced it with the B&W Class 5. It was an easy install and the hitch has held up well. I only tow a 4500 lb camper but I definetly fee better having the Class 5 B&W. 1153644

Excellent and well built product. Easy to install in my driveway and by my 68 year old self without jacks or lifts. It’s heavy but that bad. If you lower the spare tire, it can be used as a base to lay the receiver on. The only difficulty I had was modifying the hanger brackets for my custom exhaust which used the same frame holes as the receiver. Instruction were clear and listed all the tools you will need. Torque wrench can be rented from any auto parts store for free. Having a 1/2” battery powered impact helps remove the old receiver bolts. 777908

2018 Chevrolet Silverado

I bought this hitch to replace the factory hitch on my 2018 Silverado 1500. the factory hitch was rater at 1200lbs tongue weight and 12,000lbs towing capacity. My Airstream trailer has a tongue weight of 1160lbs loaded. This new hitch is rated at 1600lbs tongue weight, and 16,000lbs towing capacity. this made me much more comfortable on a 9,000 mile trip immediately after the installation. the install was very easy. removing the old hitch and installing the new one in about 1 hour total time at home. Excellent fit and finish on this product. Thanks etrailer. 787502

I have had this hitch receiver for over a year and have pulled some pretty hefty loads without any problems. It lined up perfectly for mounting on a extended cab, 8 foot bed Silverado. Item is well built from quality material and has some weight to it. Installing was easy especially if you have another set of hands to help you. I have no complaints. 476572

I no longer have the vehicle or the hitch but, I have no complaints with this product. I towed many heavy loads without issue when I did have it.

If I could give this more than 5 stars I would. I own a 2010 Silverado 1500 LTZ with Z71 tow package and tow a 20 foot enclosed trailer that's a workshop. The original class III hitch hasn't let me down but I can very easily, and often do run right at the tongue weight limit while using an Equalizer weight distribution hitch. Since the front of the trailer has all the cabinets, tools, and 400ah worth of lead acid batteries, having 1200 pounds tongue weight is almost unavoidable even with my generator stored toward the back. Before something goes terribly wrong, I decided the factory hitch had to go. Both the B&W and the Reese class V with 2 inch receiver had the specs I was looking for but ultimately I knew the Reese was a complete overkill, plus I prefer the more hidden appearance of the B&W. The box arrived and it looked simple enough but I didn't fully appreciate it until I removed the original hitch. I simply cannot convey how pitiful the stock class III hitch is in comparison to the B&W. My initial thought was that I couldn't believe this hitch survived this long without bending and twisting the round hollow tube that spans the mounts. I have foolishly trusted it with far more weight than I should everytime I tow. The B&W is puts it to shame and easily weighs twice as much. The side mounting plates are probably 3x as thick, receiver opening far longer and cross member is so brutally strong I actually feel like my truck frame would distort before this hitch would fail. Peace of mind, plenty of strength to spare and fit my truck without any interference or clearence issues. All this and its completely inconspicuous. I think it's more hidden than the stock hitch due to its design. If I ever sold the truck I'd take this off and keep it. In every way it exceeded my expectations. The price was unbeatable and etrailer provided free shipping! If you 609581

I purchased this hitch to replace the factory installed hitch on my 2017 Silverado. I needed a hitch with a higher tongue weight rating. This new B&W hitch was shipped promptly and arrived in perfect condition. Installation was simple and straight forward. The construction of the hitch is outstanding, with heavy gauge steel reinforcing gussets and beefy continuous welds. This is exactly what I was shopping for and is a tremendous improvement over my original factory hitch. I will be towing a Forest River Surveyor 251RKS with a gross weight of approx. 7,000 pounds and a tongue weight of about 1,200 pounds. 745427

Actual component parts were nice, with good fit and nice finish; welds were nice. Hardware was complete. Would have preferred it to be fully welded rather than bolt together. It is rated higher than the factory hitch, but doesn’t seem to be built substantially better. The four smallest square washers for attachment bolts to frame were drilled off center. The mounting bolts were smaller than factory hardware, their grade might be higher though. 953160

Hitch fits and works great. Excellent price AND free shipping to boot. Good thing because this hitch is heavy duty. Tech support was also helpful when I needed them. 492535

Product arrived on time. The box was beat and the hitch did have some damage to the paint and it had some hardware missing (hardware bag was damaged and some hardware fell out of the bag). This has nothing to do with etrailer or B&W...the complaint would be more toward UPS. Overall, really happy with the product. 857595

Great Hitch! Bolted right up to my 2000 Silverado 2500 long bed perfectly... Replaced the class 3 factory hitch that was about to break off! 424910
