Repeat customer due to the best price & customer service. This Curt 10" drop hitch arrived in great condition and in a timely manner. Have used etrailer for all my towing / wiring needs and will continue to do so...

Thanks

Needed to replace a hitch with a specific drop and this was the only place it could be found. It shipped short of some hardware which was quickly corrected with another shipment.

I took off the spring assist hitch that came on the truck when I bought it but I wanted to keep the 10” drip bumper, this worked perfect for that.

  • Highest Rated Trailer Hitch for 1989 Chevy C3500 with 10" Deep Bumper
    The highest rated trailer hitch receiver we offer for a 1989 Chevrolet C3500 with 10" Deep Bumper is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15317 which is rated at 16,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 2,400 lbs tongue weight. It also offers bolt-on installation.

  • Would Curt Hitch C15317 Fit 1996 Chevy K2500 with DMI Drop Bumper
    The Curt hitch part # C15317 is a confirmed fit for a 1996 Chevy K2500 with a 10 inch drop bumper. If the DMI bumper you have is a 10 inch drop bumper this hitch would work well for you. I looked up pictures of your bumper and it appears to be a standard 10 inch drop bumper so this should work well.

  • What is the Height of the Side Mounting Brackets for the Curt Class V Trailer Hitch # C15317
    According to my contact at Curt, the distance from the mounting flanges to the top of the receiver on the Curt Class V Trailer Hitch, # C15317, is 7-1/4 inches. This hitch was designed to fit the Chevrolet and GMC C/K pickup trucks from 1988-2000 with the 10 inch deep drop bumper.

  • What is the Width of Curt Class V Trailer Hitch # C15317
    I spoke with Curt about trailer hitch # C15317 and the width. From the center of one bolt hole to the center of the other, left to right, it is 34-3/8 inches. A detailed or CAD drawing is not available because that is proprietary information. Keep in mind this is a custom fit hitch. So if you have a 1988 to 2000 Chevy or GMC C/K series truck with a 10 inch deep drop bumper then this is the correct hitch for you.

  • Will the Curt Class V Hitch for a 1990 Chevy C/K Series Fit Both Short and Long Bed Models
    In regards to the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15317 which is a fit for a 1990 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup with 10" Deep Bumper, the installation will be the same for both short 6.5' and long 8' beds. There will be no difference between the two bed sizes in regards to the frame attachment holes. Please note, the hitch is designed to be used with an OEM style 10" deep bumper.

  • No Weldnuts on 1992 Chevy C/K Pickup Truck to Install a Trailer Hitch
    If the rear most attachment points on the frame of your 1992 Chevy C/K truck do not have the weldnuts in the frame then they could have broken off or corroded away. It should be a C-channel frame so it would be easy to see if it is obvious that a weldnut was there. A professional welder could weld on some new ones for you without much time or cost. There should be 8 bolts to secure the brackets to the main tube of the hitch. Then there should be 6 more for a total of 14 bolts. Which 2...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 1998 Chevy C/K Series 2500 Pickup with Utility Bed
    Since you have the utility bed on your 1998 Chevy C/K Series 2500 you will want to be looking at trailer hitches that are for a cab and chassis model as opposed to the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15317 for a 10" Deepdrop Bumper. For your application a better option would be a multi-fit option like the part # 41990 which you can then use either the 7" drop brackets # 4907 or the 16 inch brackets # 4916 to try to work around the service body. Attached are some dimensional photos of the...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 1997 Chevy C3500 with Service Body
    I do have some great trailer hitch options for a 1997 Chevrolet C3500 though none are designed for use with service bodies. That said, we do have options for models with a drop tube bumpers which would be the best option for models with service bodies since the hitch will have a lesser chance of interfering. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15317 which measures 7-1/4" from the flange to the top of the tube.

    I do have an option for you, however the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15317 referenced in your question is designed to fit the 1994 C/K Pickup that features a 10 inch deep drop bumper. This particular hitch will not fit your Chevy c2500 that has the factory roll pan bumper. For your truck, I instead recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch # 41522. This Class III hitch is confirmed to fit your truck as long as it doesn't have the 8 foot bed or is the 4-Door Crew Cab model. It...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For A 1982 Ford F-350 DRW With Deep Bumper
    Since your 1982 Ford F-350 DRW has the Deep Bumper I recommend the Curt 3-Piece Trailer Hitch Receiver - Multi Fit - Class V - 2" # C15511 as it will work with both 34" and 37-1/2" wide frames so you will not have an issue. The # C15317 you were looking at is only confirmed to fit the 1988-2000 Chevrolet C/K series pickups with the 10" drop bumper and would not fit your F-350. Keep in mind that while the # C15511 has a 1500lb tongue weight rating and 15000lbs trailer weight rating your...

  • Correct Curt Trailer Hitch for 1994 Chevy 3500 Pickup with Cowboy Bumper
    The Curt 3-Piece Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15511 is designed for cab and chassis models of the 1994 Chevy 3500 pickups. From what I could find it looks like your Cowboy Bumper is the 10" deep drop bumper so you'll want the Curt Class V Hitch # C15317 instead. This has bolt holes that are spaced 34-3/8" apart on center so you'd actually be measuring to the center of the mounting locations instead of the outside of your frame. The installation instructions have been linked for you to check out.

    While we do not have a receiver that is specifically designed to work with your 1996 Chevrolet C2500 having the Tommy liftgate, I do have some measurements that may help you determine if one will fit your truck. You will need to measure the height from the frame mounts to where the top of the receiver will be to determine if it will clear the Tommy Liftgate. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15325 is 4-1/4" from the frame mounts to the top of the receiver. This is designed for trucks...

  • Hitch Options for 1995 Chevy C/K Series Pickup Truck With 10 Deep Bumper
    For your 1999 Chevy C/K Series pickup truck with 10" deepdrop bumper you can use the Curt # C13099 with 5000 pound towing capacity, or if you need something beefier you could use the Curt # C15317 with 16,000 pound towing capacity. Both are made in the USA with a 2" receiver and bolt on without any welding. It has a nice gloss black powder coat finish.

  • Determining Correct Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2000 Chevy K3500 DRW With Dump Bed

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15511 measures 33.26" wide, 5.562" between the two mounting holes closer to the rear of the truck, and 11.43" between the center and furthest forward mounting holes. The Curt # C15317 you were looking at measures 34-1/2" wide, 9-5/8" between the furthest forward mounting hole and the center mounting hole, and 4-7/8" between the center mounting hole and the furthest back mounting hole as you can see in the included diagram.

  • How To Find Correct Trailer Hitch Fit for 1993 Chevy K3500
    I have a few different trailer hitch options for a 1993 Chevy K3500. In order to choose the correct one you'll need to first determine if you have a cab and chassis model or a standard pickup. If you have a cab and chassis then you'll need to use the Curt 3-Piece Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15511 but if not I simply recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15317 which is for standard pickup models. Unfortunately, the flanges of these hitch can be reversed and the mounting...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation For 1989 Chevy C/K Series Pickup
    We do have a custom fit hitch option for the 1989 Chevy C/K Series. I recommend Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 41938 if you have a standard or step bumper. The Draw-Tite hitch is rated for 12,000 lbs gross towing weight and will bolt up to the existing holes in the truck's frame. If the truck has a roll pan bumper you have to use a Draw-Tite hitch part # 41522 or part # C15317 if you have a 10 inch deepdrop bumper by chance. I have attached a helpful article that shows...

This hitch will have a drop from mounting point to top of the receiver tube of 7-1/4 inches. Fitment cannot be confirmed since they have not performed a test fit on the vehicle. The...

  • Curt Hitch Bolt Holes Will Not Line Up on 1998 Chevy K3500
    So there's one of two things going on here if your Curt 3-Piece Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15511 isn't lining up properly on your 1998 Chevy K3500 pickup. The first possibility, and the most likely, is that the hitch was slightly bent, or "flexed" during shipping. This is unfortunately common but also relatively easily remedied; I have added a link to a help article entitled "My Trailer Hitch Doesn't Fit" for you to check out which has solutions.

    Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 41947 fits the cab and chassis models of the 1992 GMC 3500 trucks. These are the trucks that do not come with beds and are turned into utility trucks, ambulance vehicles, and similar things like that. These trucks have a narrower frame width than the pickup models. If your truck's frame width is 34 inches wide measured from the outside of one frame rail to the outside of the other then this hitch will fit.
