The application for this hitch is not a normal one, and I am sure there are others out there who are wanting to do the same. Vehicle is a 2002 Sierra 2500HD crew cab long bed. The rear bumper is off a 2014 Silverado 1500, mounted 2 inches higher than the factory holes (only applies to 3/4 and 1 ton trucks). This hitch fits perfectly, using the OE mounting holes, and tucks nicely under the bumper notch. The OE hitch that mounts to the factory bumper hangs slightly lower than this does.
You will lose the 7 pin plug mount when replacing the factory hitch. Since I have the NNBS bumper, it is integrated into the bumper with a 7 pin and 4 pin plug. There are vidoes showing the bumper upgrade install, but nobody has verified an aftermarket hitch that works with the newer body style bumper.
Lot's heavier than the OEM hitch it replaced. The original started cracking on a cross country trip which caused me to leave my utility trailer in western Oklahoma for a month while I continued my trip. etrailer shipped the new hitch to a friend's house in North Carolina where we installed it in a very short time. The old one was scary close to leaving the trailer on the freeway. I've put a lot of miles on the new hitch without any signs of it breaking.
Up to my standard was easy to install it has performed as i expected . Would recommend if someone needed a good hitch.
Very well made. Excellent welds and fit was nice. No need to remove or even loosen the spare tire, there was plenty of room to operate. Receiver does sit approx. 2" higher than the factory hitch that I was replacing, but that was not an issue for me. Very happy with the hitch and peace of mind that Trailer will be secure as we travel down the highway. This hitch will carry ANYTHING I will ever hook to it.

Very satisfied. Good strong hitch. Peace of mind if worth every penny spent. This thing is plenty strong to do the job.
Heavy duty hitch I believe it will outlast the truck
Hitch is much better than the stock one and was very easy to install on my 2004 Chevy 2500HD.
Bolts right up no issues and raised reciever height 3" which helps for the different trailers I pull.
We have a truck with virtually no rust one it. We were shocked when the factory hitch started to fail from corrosion where it attaches to the bumper. We were one bad bump away from catastrophe with the horse and trailer. The failure was such that we would have lost the safety chain connections also.
Putting on the new hitch was very easy. We balanced the hitch on a floor jack and raised it in place. It bolted right in with almost no effort. Nothing to modify and no need to remove the spare tire or exhaust. Total installation time was about 20 minutes (taking the old hitch off took about 30 minutes and with the use of penetrating oil).
This hitch design is exceptionally heavy and avoids attaching to the bumper where the rust formed on the factory hitch.
We also added a new plug connector as the old one is part of the old hitch. With everything now being new, life is easier and less stressful.
fit was not great. Very expensive for not fitting perfectly and for quality. I could saved 100.00 buying similar hitch on (another site).
The first thing you notice when compared to the stock hitch is just how much beefier and better quality it is. It weighs a lot more and is made of a lot thicker steel. This thing is made to last! Installation was a breeze, had the old one off and the new Curt on in about a half HR (with air tools) no drilling uses all factory frame holes. I also purchased the 7way plug bracket which screws into the bumper with the provided self tapping screws. The stock hitch was rotted at the most vulnerable points I can't believe I towed a 10,000lb trailer last month with it, just thankful nothing catastrophic happened. Thank you etrailer for the great product, accurate description and fast shipping! I definitely recommend this hitch over the stock hitch on any 2500hd any day! Buy it, put it on, drink a beer to celebrate! Cheers
This is a great hitch receiver and fit the pickup well. Everything needed came with it for install and the install was simple.
I ordered a new trailer hitch because the original one on my truck had rusted through at the welds. I was afraid to pull my 22 foot 14000 pound trailer down the road with my 40 hp tractor loaded onto it. Not any more. My new class 5 hitch exceeded all my expectations from ease of installation and its heavy duty frame and its beefy stout appearance. I’m sure it will last the life of my truck and then some. Thanks etrailer. You promised me a great product and you really delivered one!

Great!
Folks if you have a 99-07 Silverado or Sierra replace you factory hitch ASAP! I highly recommend this hitch. Installation could not be easier. Finish on curt hitch is very nice hopefully it will hold up well. One thing that could make it better would be an integrated trailer plug bracket. I had concerns of it hanging down lower than factory but it looks great
This is a great heavy duty hitch. It bolts on easy in existing holes. It did move my receiver height up from the factory hitch about 2”. I also had slight interference with my after market 5” exhaust but not a big deal. I would definitely recommend this hitch.
Wanted a classV hitch, was not sure of class that was on truck .After comparing ,very glad I replaced the old with new. Very well built,and heavy duty,and easy install.

Wonderful
Works Good
Excellent fit for my 2007 chevy 2500hd (classic body style). Provides much better strength and durability over the stock hitch. I was towing 10k on a hitch that was only rated for 7k. If I had known that the stock hitch was that weak I would have done this a year ago. As far as intstall went it couldn't have been easier. Took myself 20 minutes to remove the old one and install this one. One tip if you are by yourself use a board and a floor jack to hold the new hitch up while you start the bolts.
Hitch fit perfect and is plenty heavy duty enough for the the trailers I pull up to 14k. Instructions were easy to understand and the hardware kit has some nifty installation tools to get into the frame.
Well built and installation straightfor ward!
The installation of the Curt hitch went pretty smoothly on my pickup. We had a little trouble with alignment of some of the mounting holes, but with a little persuasion, the bolts went in. Getting the old bolts OUT was a different story!
I appreciate the fast service competitive prices and easy to use website at etrailer. The hitch came fast and was very easy to install with no need to remove or even lower the spare and clears my aftermarket 4” exhaust. It fits up tight, has a better capacity and most of all it gives me peace of mind from worrying about the rusted oem.
It was a perfect fit and a lot better design than the factory one
Quality product, fast delivery, and simple instructions for those in need. Perfect replacement for those factory failures .
still holding up well after a year

Both hitches are working great better than the oems the trucks came with
i ordered this hitch on Monday night, it was at my door Wednesday after work...very fast shipping !!! this was ordered to replace the junk factory GM hitch on my 06 2500hd silverado....and what an upgrade, the curt hitch weighs at least twice as much and the quality is pretty apparent. i could not be happier with this product and the customer service here is unbelievable. i place an order on line and a human calls me to verify the order, and make sure the transaction went smoothly....unheard of today.

Towing a 14k trailer with no issues. Powder coating has held up really well throughout the last year, no signs of flaking or chipping.
