• Can the Thule Cantilever Be Added to TracRac And Used to Carry a Cargo Basket
  I spoke with my contact over at Thule and they say that using a cargo basket with the Thule Cantilever # TH24002XT and Thule TracRac SR # TH43002XT-780 is not typically something that they've seen and have not tested this application use on this product. Just because they haven't seen it, doesn't mean that it can't be done, but it was noted that the Cantilever bar was not designed to carry an extremely heavy load-it was simply designed to help spread out the weight on longer loads. If...

• Availability Of Trailer Hitch For 2014 Mercedes Benz C450
  Hello Dan, thanks for reaching out. Sadly, there is no custom fit trailer hitch for the 2014 Mercedez-Benz C450, If you need to carry cargo or bikes the only way to do so would be with a roof rack system and roof mounted cargo carrier, or with a trunk/roof mounted bike rack. What kind of gear were you needing to carry?

• Hitch Extender That Can Use Weight Distribution and Tow Horse Trailer
  For a 24 inch hitch extender the best option is the Curt part # C45048 cut down to the 24 inch length. This has a capacity of 8,000 lb trailer weight when used with a WD system like you mentioned. Since this is the only extender option that's going to work we have to build everything around it. This means you'll need to install a 2-1/2 inch hitch on your 2013 GMC Sierra 2500. For that you'd want the Curt part # C15860 which is a fit for your truck. Due to the weight of your camper you'll...

• Will Curt Trailer hitch Receiver C15860 Fit 2016 GMC Sierra 2500 With Service Body
  I reached out to my contact at Curt and it is possible that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V Commercial Duty - 2-1/2" # C15860 will fit your 2016 GM Sierra 2500 with a Service Body as long as it did not start life as a cab and chassis truck. The main thing to look for is that when the service body was installed that they did not modify the frame of the truck as the # C15860 uses factory mounting points. If your truck is a cab and chassis model, or if the frame was...

• Aftermarket Hitch Recommendation and Capacity for 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD
  When it comes to towing components like hitches, you're always going to be limited to the capacity of your lowest rated components; so adding a higher rated hitch to your vehicle isn't going to increase your towing capacity or the payload. From what I was able to determine with my research, the towing capacity of your 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD with a 6.0L engine is 13000-lbs and the payload capacity is going to be somewhere between 3000-lbs and 3500-lbs depending on your trim package....

  When it comes to towing components like hitches, you're always going to be limited to the capacity of your lowest rated components; so adding a higher rated hitch to your vehicle isn't going to increase your towing capacity or the payload.

• Class V Trailer Hitch for 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500 Cab/Chassis Truck
  Because Cab/Chassis trucks have a narrower 34 inch frame width than the pickup, the Curt # C15860 Class V hitch won't fit your truck, as it'd designed for the wider frame member spacing of the pickup. We do have a Class V option that will work for you, though. The highest capacity Class V hitch we offer for the cab/chassis model is the Curt # C15400 which has a 17K towing/2550 lb tongue weight capacity.

• Recommended Truck To Tow Winnebago 2455
  It looks like the the Winnebago Minnie 2455BHS loaded weight is 7,000 lbs so you would need a truck that can tow well over 7,000 lbs. That is the number I found for the 2455BHS so you may want to double check and make sure that is the model you are looking at. We normally recommend a 3/4 ton or 1 ton truck to tow but if the 1/2 ton has the right towing capacity then it can do the job. The most popular towing trucks are Ford Super Duty F-250/F-350, Ram 2500/3500, Chevy Silverado 2500/3500...

• Inside Measurement of 2-1/2 Inch Receiver for Trailer Hitch on 2013 Chevy Silverado
  Without knowing the model number it simply is not possible to tell you with absolute certainty what size receiver you have, but the largest receiver size for aftermarket hitches for a 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500 or 3500 is 2-1/2 inches, such as what is on the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15860. That said, the inside of the receiver should only measure 2-1/2 inches, and even taking into account some variance hitch by hitch, one that measures 2-3/4 inches is particularly large. It seems...

• Will Curt Class V Trailer hitch C15860 Fit a 2016 GMC Sierra 2500HD
  I checked with Curt and hitch # C15860 is listed in their application guide as a fit for your 2016 GMC Sierra 2500. The application guide is not the same as the fit guide. The application guide is more up to date and updated frequently. The fit guide on the other hand takes some time to catch up. I have linked a video showing an example installation of this hitch for you. The recommended ball mount for this hitch is # C45456. It takes a ball with a 1-1/4 inch diameter shank such as # 63840.

• 36 Inch Hitch Extender for a 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver on a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
  I do have options for you but you cannot install two of part # C45796 together to get a total of 36". Doing so would completely diminish your trailer hitches weight capacity. The most cost effective solution I have for you would be to use part # RP45292 for 24"-34". However, this option is only 34" max lenth and will require a 2-1/2" trailer hitch receiver like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15860. The best solution I have for you to get a 36" hitch extension would be to use...

• Hitch Receiver for 2016 Chevy 2500HD
  Thanks for letting us help Jade. Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15860 will fit for your 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500HD. This heavy-duty Class 5 hitch features a 2-1/2" receiver and is rated for up to 20,000 lbs of gross trailer weight and 2,700 lbs of tongue weight.

One important thing to keep in mind is that installing a higher capacity...

• Would Curt Hitch # C15860 Fit 2011 Chevy Silverado 3500HD and Increase Towing Capacity
  There really isn't a way to safely increase the towing capacity of a vehicle as it's more than just the hitch of the vehicle's weight rating. The Curt hitch part # C15860 is a fit for your 2011 Chevy Silverado 3500HD and has pretty high towing capacity of 20,000 lbs so it would handle the weight of a 14k trailer. If your truck has a 14k capacity based on how it is equipped it would work well for you.

• Comparing Draw-Tite Class V Trailer Hitch to Curt Class V for 2019 GMC 3500 Long Bed
  The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - 2-1/2" # DT45511 (no longer available) does require drilling for installation. It also requires the OEM factory bumper and brackets and allows the full size spare tire. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V Commercial Duty - 2-1/2" # C15860 does not require drilling and does not require the OEM bumper or brackets. It is rated for the same capacities. Both are great hitches, you will just take more time installing...

• What Should Clearance Be From Bed Rails to Fifth Wheel
  The 4,400 lb tandem axles you have are supporting a very similar weight and trying to get these to support exactly the same weight consistently would be pretty tedious and not particularly beneficial. The 220 lb difference is perfectly fine so I would concentrate on making sure you tow as level as possible, which is going to be the best thing for you to for even suspension wear. If you take a look at the accompanying photo you can see that you need 5" to 6" for clearance from bed rails...

• Boat Trailer Safety Cables Suitable for Class V Hitch on 2017 Chevy Silverado 3500

• Hitch, Hitch Extension and Weight Distribution Recommendation for a 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500
  Here are the towing components you will need. For a hitch you will need a Class V hitch with a 2-1/2 inch opening like the Curt Trailer Hitch # C15860. This hitch has more than enough capacity for your trailer even when reduced by 50 percent. For a 24 inch extension you will want the Titan Hitch Box Extension # RP45292. This also would have enough capacity for you trailer and would be compatible with weight distribution. The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base...

• Will Curt Class V 2-1/2 Trailer Hitch for 2013 GMC Sierra 2500/3500 Interfere with Backup Sensors
  The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15860 which is a fit for a 2013 GMC Sierra 2500/3500 will not affect the backup sensors. It does not stick out far enough to trigger said sensors so there will be no issues there. That said, whatever you attach to the hitch could but this would be on a case by case basis. I have attached a video for you on a model with backup sensors and there were no issues after install. If you don't already have a 2-1/2" ball mount for this hitch, I recommend...

• Fit of Adjustable Ball Mount on 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
  The ball mount you referenced, Fastway Self-Locking Adjustable Aluminum Ball Mount # DTALBM7025, fits 2-1/2-inch hitches and its locking pins will engage with the hitch pin holes on a 2-1/2-inch receiver tube. If you have a similar ball mount made for a 2-inch hitch, such as # DTALBM6600, its pins will not extend out far enough to engage with the holes on a 2-1/2-inch receiver. You cannot use a reducer sleeve like # C45405 to use a 2-inch ball mount in a 2-1/2-inch hitch. For reference...
