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.the overall quality of the product seems fine, however the hitch hangs down 3.5 inches lower then the factory hitch. Its so low that I'll be dragging it on the ground when I'm gathering wood. I will also have to buy all new hitches because of how low it hangs.
I was rear ended and my previous hitch damaged. Fit my 04 Silverado 2500 4WD HD perfectly. A bit lower than the previous one, retained the stock bumper. Now I can tongue pull with a 2 5/16ths ball where I was limited to a 2". Can still pull a 2" with the stock bumper. A good value.
Hitch showed up on time, excellent fit, and I had my old hitch off and this one on in 1 hour. The only point in the process that was sketchy was torquing the (2) factory 21mm head bolts to 153ftlbs. They felt like they were going to strip at 140ftlbs, so I left them at 140. Outside of that, a great price on the bumper and now I have peace of mind that my factory hitch won't fail. (it had already started bending pulling a 2 car stacker) Make sure you order a bracket to hold your 7 pin receptacle if yours is currently built into the old hitch.
I bought this hitch receiver about a year ago and it has help up with no issues. I have a 14k dump trailer and use it 3 days week on average. I have had occasions where I was marked out on weight and Kurt came thru and have no signs of bending bowing ect. Very satisfied I must say
I was somewhat hummored with the recent review email, of my Class 5 Curt hitch.
I have a flat bed trailer I use to haul my old farm tractors. This trailer is about 4,600 empty.
And it has 3/8 safety chains. With big open hooks.
These hooks only fit part way into my factory Chevy hitch. But I got by.
Now comes the new hitch. And I haven't had the opportunity to try those hooks on the new hitch.
But I am sure for the size of the holes, they will fit nicely.
Now comes another scenario. I also have a 12 foot single axle Doolittle trailer.
And those safety chain hooks are stamped 1/4 inch. And they have the safety latch.
There is no way they will fit that class 5 hitch.
I went back to the store and bought a pair of 5/16 hooks with the latch.
Yes they did fit, but you had to fight with them.
So I took them back, and bought a pair of 5/16 hooks without the safety latch.
Truly I think, - going to 3/8 hook would be the answer for a nice fit.
And I think the cross pin in the hook, would fit my last chain link.
But should I lend the trailer to a neighbor. I am thinking 3/8 hooks likely won't fit their hitch.
As the original problem with my factory Chevy hitch, and the hooks on my big trailer.
I also have a Featherlite bumper pull livestock trailer.
And I am not sure what the diameter of those hooks are.
Diameter, as in the center hole of the hook.
Not referring to the chain link diameter the hook is rated for.
Likely Curt should have a piece of round stock for those hooks to go around?
If you take a 1/4 inch hook, a 5/16 hook and a 3/8 hook. And a class 5 drawbar. you will experience my senario. That a Class 5 hitch likely won't accept the safety chain hooks of a small trailer.
The trailer hitch is a super heavy duty trailer hitch. The only problem with the trailer hitches is very heavy to install underneath of the truck. I have a truck with a 10 inch drop bumper they was after market and they research the trailer hitch and said it would fit and it fits great love the trailer hitch installation had all the right Hardware all grade 8 bolts nothing cheap about it love it
Very happy with this hitch. Finish has held up well and is a very beefy addition to my 03'Duramax. Allows me to tow my heavy trailers without fear of breaking my factory hitch again (twice now).
Fairly easy to install as well.
When I discovered that my factory installed hitch was only rated for 7500lbs I knew I needed something different. Etrailer came through again. This hitch is exactly what i needed. My camper has a GVW of 12K and i have the weight distribution hitch. Easy to install and the 4" drop just what i needed to lower my bumper also.
Great hitch and perfect fit for my truck. Was really a 2 man job but got it done by myself. The factory hitch is kind of a pain to get off on the 2008 HD as there are bolts up right at the bumper line.
The new one fit like a glove i did add to shackles to allow my safety chains to attach a little easier. Great product great customer service. etrailer is the best i love these guys have bought lots of stuff from them and will definitely continue to buy more. Thanks
Dealing with etrailer was a breeze! Nice well built receiver hitch, heavy duty. Took less than half an hour to install including removing the old hitch. I will definitely recommend etrailer.com.
Exactly as described. A good replacement for the original hitch that was rusting out.
THE BEST SERVICE BY FAR!!!!!
I went through 3 different companies before contacting etrailer, they was very patient with me and went over everything to make sure the order was right.
I ordered it and asked for quick shipping, something almost no one offers on parts like this and BUT they have 4 DAY SHIPPING for only around $40, you can’t beat that!!! I ordered it Thursday, they said it will be here Thursday or Friday of the following week and it was here the following Tuesday!!!
Very quick and easy install.
I have 3 Curt Class V Hitches by the way.
one on the Chevrolet,Ford and Ram.
Thanks again for the Great service, y’all have a permanent customer.
AND THEY GIVE YOU STEP BY STEP DELIVERY PROGRESS!!!
This hitch receiver is built very well and bolted right up to the frame. Should be able to tow my 38' toy hauler with no issues with this thing. Just wished they provided the most rearward bolts and nuts if you have an off road bumper that doesn't require the bottom rear bolts for a stock bumper. It's also pretty heavy, definitely a two man job. All in all, great receiver.
This is one duty receiver. One piece hitch with all hardware included. I installed in my driveway in 25minutes with only basic tools needed. Hangs about 4" lower than stock receiver but eliminated Need for drop hitch
Heavy Duty hitch and was easy to install. I really wish Curt would have extended the hitch further out as I can no longer carry my full size spare. I have 35" tall tires and I no longer have the room to carry the spare. The distance between the differential cover and hitch is shorter than the OEM hitch.

The hitch is well built and has served me well.
Install went well very happy with product, electrical receptacle bracket needed a little modifyingBy pulling the bracket out word and changing the angle had to trim a little plastic off the bumper
Hitch arrived in a timely fashion with no shipping damage. Fit great on my hauler. Best shipping tracking that I have used! Will definitely recommend!
I almost didn't buy it from the reviews saying it hangs lower than the oem one. I'm very happy I did, its a nice hitch. Yeah it hangs a little lower but it's negligible cant even tell. Buy it....
Well made. Easy to install. Bolted up with no drilling. I thought it was going to hang too low from looking at the pictures but it's only about half inch lower than the factory hitch.
Great affordable hitch. Very easy to install. I installed it in about 30 minutes even without removing the spare tire. 05 3500 Silverado
Was actually shocked at how heavy duty this thing is. Took under an hour to install.
It easily bolted on to my 08 Silverado 2500HD. The floor of the 2 1/2" receiver hole is about 1" lower than the hitch (I think stock) I took off, but I knew that from reading other reviews.
Easy install perfect fit
Easy to install and big and beefy for heavy duty towing!
Still an excellent product and still highly recommend it!
