Excellent/simple install, not fit, equip, or other issues. Very happy with the hitch, wiring plug, and prices. Chevy wanted an arm and a leg.

This hitch is incredibly easy to install. The bolt aligned very well if they were all tightened at the end of the assembly.

I only wish I needed another one to install

Quick delivery from etrailer.com, took about 20 minutes to install. The hitch is heavy duty,
and I love how it fits under the truck....out of
view. I could not be more pleased.

All around great product as of today. Haven't put it to the test but it is made strong and seems like a quality product. Shipping was fast and I look forward to working with etrailer again

Received hitch in record time, installed very easily, did not have to remove my Spare tire. Highly reccomend Etrailer and plan to buy from again.



by:
2007 Chevrolet Silverado New Body

Product got here very quickly and it only took about 20 minutes to install. Didn't even have to remove the spare tire. This is an extremely good company to deal with. Looking forward to future dealings. I definately recommend etrailer.com to anyone.



by:

The box arrived kinda beat up, no harm. I used a floor jack and 2 jackstands raising each a little at a time. I didn't have any help. Got it into position and installed in just a little bit. The only thing I would suggest to other customers is, forget about lowering the spare tire. I didn't lower the spare tire and that was no problem. Good delivery and good product that fit. Thanks



by:

Great hitch. Very nice construction, great design and it fit perfectly. Installation was a breeze and the finished look was the best ever. I probably won't utilize it's full capacity but for the price it's nice to know it's available. I highly recommend this hitch.



by:
2010 Chevrolet Silverado

Packed well, nice and clean and easy to install.

It took me longer to find the handle to lower the spare than it did to install the hitch!
Simple installation.

I checked prices and couldn't find a better deal.
I also bought an electric brake controller and 7 pin plug from etrailer.com.



by:

Received my trailer hitch however this is how it showed up. Hopefully all the parts are still in box, I would definitely look into who your using as carrier.



by:

This is a outstanding hitch. All of the hardware came with it. The new hitch mounted up to my pickup perfectly. My old hitch was rusting badly and needed replaced on my 2011 Chevy Silverado.
I would definitely order again for another vehicle.

I'm always happy to hear when it goes quickly like this. I wish all DIY projects went like this!



by:
2013 GMC Sierra

Fit perfect and all the hardware was there. Seems to be the same size as factory hitch but actually built solid unlike the factory junk. Think it took longer to open the box and remove the plastic wrap than it did to actually install the hitch. Factory hitch had more pieces rusted put than solid



by:

Really like the new curt trailer hit hitch had a factory mount on it that bolted to frame and bumper the new curt hitch is frame mounted heaven duty A+ looks and works great thanks so much



by:

Review delayed because I did not have the time to install the new hitch right away.
This purchase was GREAT, exactly what I was looking for, received in a well packaged box and delivered soon that expected.

I highly recommend this product and the sales team @ etrailer.com



by:

Very easy to install. No issues whatsoever with this hitch. This is the 2nd hitch I’ve gotten from eTrailer and both experiences have been great. First place I will look the next time I need a hitch.

  • Class III or Class IV Hitch for 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500 Towing 7k Boat
    To ensure you have enough towing capacity with your 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500 I'd recommend a Class IV hitch like the Curt # 14301 as the Class III hitches for your truck are limited to 6,000 lb total trailer weight.

  • Recommended Class IV Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2007 GMC Sierra New Body
    As long as your 2007 GMC Sierra New Body has the standard rear bumper (see photo), I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 14301. This is a direct bolt on hitch that will not require any cutting or drilling. You will also be able to retain the use of the factory spare tire with this hitch. It has a Class IV rating with a 2" receiver tube opening. The hitch is made right here in the U.S.A. and comes with a lifetime warranty. I have attached an install video of this hitch...

  • Does a Curt Trailer Hitch # 14301 Limit Access to the Spare Tire if Installed on 2013 Chevy 1500
    To install the Class IV Curt trailer hitch # 14301 on your 2013 Chevy 1500 you will need to temporarily remove the spare tire for accessibility to the hitch mounting locations. After installation is complete and the spare tire is re-installed you will not have any issues with accessibility or clearance around the full size spare tire when mounted in the factory location. I have included a photo of this hitch installed on a slightly older Chevy truck, and you can see that there is no interference...

I have linked instructions for both hitch for you. If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK2416. It comes with a ball mount with a 3 inch rise or 4 inch drop, a 2 inch and 2-5/16 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball mount kit...

  • Why Doesn't Curt Hitch 14301 Bolt to Bumper
    It's hard to say exactly why the Curt hitch part # 14301 doesn't bolt to the bumper like the OEM hitch but most likely they determined that it didn't add much to the strength of the hitch so they left it off. The hitch has been thoroughly tested and has a higher weight capacity of 10,000 lbs so I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.

  • Fit of etrailer e98849 Class III Hitch on 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 LTZ
    The etrailer brand # e98849 is a fit for all trim levels of the 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500, including your LTZ. The hitch has a 6000 lb towing/600 lb tongue weight capacity or 10000 lb towing/1000 tongue weight if used with weight distribution. For a higher capacity, the Curt # 14301 has a capacity of 10000 lb towing/1000 lb tongue weight or 12000/1200 lbs if used with weight distribution. I've linked to installation videos and instructions for the hitches mentioned above.

  • Replacing OEM Hitch On 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 - Class IV
    The factory hitch that came with your GMC Sierra 1500 was at least a Class III and possibly a class IV depending on what trim level you have. Looking at the available products as well as your specific application and towing needs, I recommend replacing your OEM hitch with the Curt Class IV Hitch # 14301 which has the 1000 lbs TW and 10000 lbs GTW you're looking for. I would caution you to give more consideration to a weight distribution hitch instead of a pure bumper pull, based upon your...

  • Replacement Hitch Recommendation for 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab
    The best hitch I'd recommend for your 2011 Chevy Silverado is the Curt hitch part # 14301 because it has great towing capacities at 10,000 lb trailer weight and because it has only the hitch tube that hangs below the rear bumper for a more concealed look. I attached a picture of what the hitch looks like installed as well as an install video.

  • Class IV Trailer Hitch for a 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 Work Truck 4x4
    Thanks. We think you are pretty awesome, too! You can certainly go to a higher capacity trailer hitch which will help with your current situation and provide additional capacity should you upgrade trailers or boats in the future. Keep in mind though that you will be limited to the truck's towing capacities specified in the owner's manual. For your 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 you can go with Curt hitch # 14301. This hitch is rated for 1,000 pounds tongue weight and 10,000 pounds gross trailer...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendations for 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500, 2500, or 3500

There is no drilling or trimming required for installation of this hitch. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. For a 2500 or 3500 series short bed I recommend B&W hitch # BWHDRH25601. Again there is no drilling or trimming required. The version for long bed models is # BWHDRH25600 and there is...

  • Maximum Towing Capacity for 2009 Chevrolet Silverado
    I checked the owner's manual for your 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and the gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of your vehicle is 13,000 lbs. The best way to determine your towing capacity is to load your truck with all the people and cargo that you plan to carry when leaving on a trip and then weigh the truck. You will subtract this weight from the GCWR. This number will be the true maximum towing capacity of your Silverado. I typically don't recommend towing at your maximum capacity,...

  • Towing Capacity of of 2009 Chevy 4.3L Silverado Regular Cab 4WD
    If it is a 1500 with standard bed, it is rated to tow 5,100 lbs. If it is a long bed then 4,900 lbs. These ratings are based on model year, regular cab, 4WD, engine size, and that truck has the 4.30:1 axle ratio. You may be further restricted by your hitch receiver or other towing components, but components rated higher than this like the Curt # 14301 you asked from will not increase your towing capacity. that being said, this is a great hitch receiver that will serve you well.

  • 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....

    The Curt Class IV 2 Inch Hitch # 14301 does not bolt to the bumper of your 2008 Chevrolet Silverado. It will bolt to the frame rails of your vehicle. You will need to remove the spare tire to install the hitch, bolt the hitch to the frame rails, and then reinstall the spare tire. I am sending a link to the installation instructions of the # 14301 hitch. It will show where it attaches to your vehicle.

Since it has a 2 inch receiver you will want to find a ball mount with a 2 inch shank. I have attached an article that will help you to find a ball mount with the correct rise or drop for your application.

I attached a portion of the install instructions that covers this. The hitch in question is a bumper hitch which basically puts a ball on the bumper. That's what would need to get removed if you did NOT have a factory hitch that fits below the bumper. There's really no other benefit to going with the other...

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2007 Chevy Silverado New Body Style with Roll Pan Bumper and Regency RST Trim
    I have a potential solution for you but none of the hitches for the 2007 Chevy Silverado (New Body style) are designed for models with a roll pan bumper. Installation of a hitch such as # 14301 will likely require a little trimming of the roll pan. If you are willing to make those modifications then this will work. Otherwise you will need to look at weld-on hitches such as # 41990-07 or # 41990-16 in order to drop the receiver low enough to avoid having to trim the roll pan bumper. Weld-on...
