Specially designed for heavy-duty towing, this fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.I replaced my OEM trailer hitch with this HD Curt hitch and towed my travel trailer across the country with my 2005 Chevy Avalanche. Not only was it a great trip but I had peace of mind knowing the new trailer hitch was doing the job with no problem.
So Happy with this Curt Custom Heavy Duty Class V Receiver Hitch.
Fits Perfectly behind my plastic bumper on my 2004 Cadillac Escalade EXT.
It looks factory installed. Definitely more stout in construction than the OEM
that came off. OEM receiver hitch was rated for 5000 pounds, this Curt is rated for 17000 pounds, Big Difference. Took me by my self less than 1 hour to install. I used the Curt supplied bolts and factory bolts per instructions. I had the factory trailer light receptacle trimmed and tack welded to the Curt Hitch. I have a large boat and now confident in this heavy duty hitch. Thanks etrailer here are some pictures
The fish tool really helped with the installation. Ended up putting the 7 way plug in the bumper. Great products.
My wife's tahoe got rear ended by a hit and runner a couple years ago and they destroyed our old hitch (and their car too). The hitch arms were bolted to the frame, were bent down and were pulling the bumper down.... Because more is always better we decided to upgrade the hitch to a class 5... The Curt Class V hitch is significantly more robust than the OEM hitch. Once the bent oem hitch was unbolted, the bumper sprang most of the way back up... with new hitch bolted on, everything that looked a little askew was straight again. My only gripe with the Curt Hitch is that it'd be nice if it had a wiring connector bracket built in. That said, this hitch is a beast.
After pulling a 16ft v nose cargo trailer for about a year now almost every day, I have had no problems at all with this hitch. I regularly pull over capacity as well. Great product!
Shipped quick,good price,well made. I installed this on a 2002 Avalanche 2500 with plastic cladding. There was some minor trimming required on the plastic(Dremel to the rescue).
You will need to attach the bracket from factory hitch,or add a bracket for trailer connector. It took longer to trim the plastic than it it did to install the hitch. The hitch fits like glove once trimmed,and is 80%hidden.
Factory hitch has been known to fail,due to design and wall thickness in my opinion.
The Curt class V hitch has a much thicker wall thickness and it's a square tube design rated much higher than factory for tongue weight and overall towing ability.I tow a 34 foot toyhauler that was at the limit of factory hitch,this hitch is rated 5000lbs heavier than oem and it shows once you compare the two.
Much heavier duty than the OEM one and appears to be well made with quality coating. It should not bend like the OEM did (why I upgraded to this beast). Was a snug fit between the rear crossmember on a 05 2500 Suburban, but easy to wedge up in there using a floor jack. The hitch sits around 2” higher than the OEM so will need to Adjust all the hitches accordingly. Only complaint is lack of integrated bracket for the trailer wiring otherwise would have been 5 stars.
I bought this hitch after realizing the stock hitch on my 2004 Tahoe was undersized for my trailer. This one is rated way higher than my truck will ever be able to haul; but on towing devices, overkill isn't a bad thing. This hitch is extremely beefy, way heavier than the stock hitch. It was very easy to bolt up due to the access holes in the Tahoe frame. Removing the spare isn't necessary, but it does make access easier. The quality of the welds, paint, fitment, and even hardware is exceptional. And as always, etrailer's customer service is next to none.
I bought this hitch to replace my factory hitch after it was damaged when i backed into a concrete pole. This hitch is much better than the factory hitch. It looks really nice. It was really easy to install with easy to read instructions. I am very happy with it. I have confidence that i can tow a decent amount of weight.
I made the mistake and ordered this hitch off Amazon to get it sooner. The bolt holes were about 1/4” off and it wouldn’t fit. Needless to say I had to send it back and got one here like I should have in the first place. It fit perfect without a hitch. I couldn’t help it.
After I realized that I was towing a boat and trailer that was almost twice the rating of my original hitch, I decided to update to the Curt Class V. The hitch is much heavier and it is very well made. The installation was very easy and all the hardware fit perfectly. I decided to move my trailer connector into the bumper at the same time.
I now have the confidence to tow my boat anywhere without worry.
etrailer had the best price and the fastest shipping. I have always had great service with them
This hitch fits great and I didn't have to remove the spare tire. Easy installation.
Very nice and heavy duty hitch. Install was no problem. Installed on 2003 gmc yukon xl denali in about an hour. Replaced a original rusted out hitch. I have denali trim package so rear bumper cover may protrude a bit...no big deal. If you have regular yukon should be fine.
I couldn't be more pleased with both the product that I purchased, and the excellent customer service that I received from the folks at etrailer.com.
While preparing an off-road motorcycle adventure, I discovered that the factory-installed hitch on my tow vehicle was grossly inadequate to carry an 84-pound motorcycle hitch carrier and my 500-plus-pound KTM 990 Adventure bike.
The Curt Class V XD that I chose is a beautifully fabricated and finished, high-quality product that fit my needs precisely. Installation was so quick and easy, I actually re-read the simple instructions to ensure that I hadn't missed an important step. The increased tongue carrying capacity it affords, and the quality workmanship give me greater confidence in hauling around such a valuable and cherished possession, without having to constantly check my rear-view mirror to make sure it's still attached to my truck.
I also very much appreciate the personal attention paid by Carol and George at etrailer.com in keeping me up to date on my order. Prepared for a long delay due to supply issues at the vendor's end, I was pleased and surprised at how quickly my order was fulfilled -- particularly during a global pandemic, when customer service demands are so great and shipping delays are commonplace.
This has definitely been one of the best and easiest shopping, purchase, and customer service experiences I have had in a very long, long time.
I realize this not the first time I’ve ordered from etrailer
And using the fitment tool has always got me an exact match for my needs. Its been Chevy Tahoe, Suburban and Silverado. Each time has been easy bolt on. Nothing to fear. This last time I wore out the Tahoe’s factory receiver with my travel trailer so I installed the Curt XD
xx lbs rated. Beautiful clean match. Thank You !
The fit was exact. The finish paint on the receiver was thorough. Disconnected factory wiring, unbolted factory receiver, bolted Curt hitch on, torqued the bolts. Excellent fit!
I'm sure the hardware that came with the receiver is rated for its load; however, the GM hardware is slightly larger and easier to install.
Used this to replace the factory hitch on my 2004 Tahoe. Original was extremely rusty and wanted peace of mind that my hitch was sound. The new hitch is way more robust than the factory. As always impressed with etrailer’s customer service.
The hitch fit perfectly, and I would not hesitate to buy another.
This receiver is a beast. It is HUGE. Very well built, solid welds, and overall great quality. The oem hitch is a joke; this is probably stronger than the chassis of the vehicle. The only issue I had was with the bolts; they are little smaller than the oem hitches bolts. While that may not be an issue, I didn't care for it, so I replaced them with larger bolts.
heavy duty exactly what i wanted had to trim some of the cladding on the bumper but bolted right up
The hitch is a great upgrade compared to the factory installed unit. I never really looked close at the factory one until we changed it. The Curt is MUCH heavier steel with excellent welds. The only thing that caught me was how thick the rings are for the chains, the clip I use for the electric brakes wouldn't fit. Just shows how much sturdier the Curt is over the factory. We did have to weld the factory light receiver to the hitch, FYI.
If you need or just want a seriously heavy duty hitch receiver look no further. The one that was on my Yukon was in rough shape and needed to be replaced. I did not have to lower my spare to install but the bumper plastic did need to be trimmed.
The Kurt C15324 is a very strong hitch. It's well made, has a very durable finish and mounts to the vehicle easily. The instructions said that I would have to remove the spare to complete the installation, but I didn't have to do that. The only negative is there is no provision for mounting the electrical plug, but I plan to fabricate a bracket to mount it. I actually started to order the hitch from Amazon, but needed the hitch quickly and couldn't speak to anyone at Amazon to ensure prompt delivery. Etrailer had the hitch for the same price and Shawn B was super helpful and made sure I got the hitch in time. I will purchase all my trailer supplies from etrailer. Very satisfied.
I've installed several hitches over the years, but the Curt XD is the nicest hitch I have seen. Quality welds, heavy construction and nice finish. You can't go wrong with this one.

Fantastic hitch- bent the factory hitch (twice). This hitch is much stronger and has handled everything we have needed it to do - pulling big logs to the mill, towing, motorcycle hitch carriers, and more. Lisa D is the best to work with - she recommended this hitch and I couldnt be happier.
