Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2"

This is a very well made product, it is nicely powder coated and shiny, looks like it will last for many years! It's heavier than I expected which is a plus, they certainly made it extremely strong, I highly recommend etrailer hitches!2002808

Looks great, nearly hidden and very low-profile. Went on easily, installed myself in about 45 minutes. I used a milk crate on a small furniture dolly to move the bumper out of the way and hold it up so I could align the hitch and bumper bracket holes and bolt them up. Did I say PERFECT fit, first try! Thanks again, eTrailer !! Now this one-owner, low mileage pickup's 4.3L Vortec and 4L60-E can be used as intended--to haul some serious trailer weight (truck is rated to tow 5900 lb. with weight distribution). The new hitch will also serve as a bike carrier platform when not pulling trailers around.909449

**Update: One year later: Zero issues with this simple, install-and-forget-its-there hitch! Now a permanent part of the rear bumper and cant imagine the truck without this truck-necessity!

I recently purchased a Curt hitch for my GMC Sonoma through etrailer. Got it in 2 days in perfect condition and installed it with ease the 3rd day. Could not be happier with my purchase.938346

My truck is 1999 Chevy S-10 Long bed. This may apply to other S-10 pickups.

You don't have to drill the hitch. You do have to drill the frame and bumper brackets. The supplied bolts are 1/2 inch grade 8 bolts. The original bolts holding on the bumper are 12mm. The 1/2 inch bolts will not go through the original bumper and frame holes without drilling them out to 1/2 inch. If the description has said this, my review would have been a 5 star review.

I took them at their word and went to a public garage to install the hitch (it was a cold and I don't have a garage). When the bolts did not fit, I had to put my truck back together and go home for a drill. Then go back to the garage to complete the installation.

Other than the minor glitch above, the install was painless and looks great.1262268

You mentioned that you needed to drill and I wanted to ask you a few questions. How many of the holes did you need to drill? Can you confirm that you have a factory step bumper verus a roll pan bumper?

I have the original factory step bumper. The website clearly said the hitch I ordered will NOT work with a roll pan bumper. Yes, I read the whole listing. I did not know what a roll pan bumper was, so I had to google it. I had to drill out 12 holes total. Three holes in each bumper bracket and three in each frame rail. Two bumper brackets and two frame rails. The original bolts were metric 12 millimeter. The Grade 8 bolts that are provided with the hitch are one half inch bolts. 0.5 inches is equal to 12.7 millimeters. They would not fit through the holes for the original bolts. Each hole in the bumper brackets and the frame rails had to be drilled out. Drilling the holes out was easy. Not having a drill with me was a problem because the website said NO DRILLING needed. I was not prepared. It was a cold day, so I went to a Public Parking Garage and did the installation in the basement level to be out of the wind. If I knew I needed a drill and had taken one with me, it would have been 5 more minutes. I had to put my truck back together, go home and get a drill and come back to the garage. This added an hour to the install. I am not upset about this and it will not keep me from buying from etrailer again. If you want a 5-star review, then your instructions need to be accurate. If you want a picture of the install, let me know and I will send you one.

I will send this information to the manufacturer for review. This is the first time that we have had a 1999 Chevy S-10 pickup with the factory bumper have bigger hole locations then one half inches.

Very sturdy. Took me a lot longer than 45 min to install but pretty simple. Mine was about 1/8 inch short but would slide in with some persuasion and the snug fit made the alignment easy. I have had the square Draw Tight hitches before and I much prefer the look of this tubular design. 796225

Works great. No modifications needed

Hitch came in slightly narrow in width. At first i thought it was made wrong. After a little thinking time I realized it was bumped in shipment. I called etrailer and they told me it was the right hitch. I used a little effort to spring it open an it was and easy effort to install it. I am well please with price, quality and service.
Thank You etrailer772187

The install was fairly easy. I sprayed the bolts with penetrating oil a week before the install and they came off easily. The only issue was that the width of the trailer hitch was 1/2" to narrow ( it must have moved while it was being welded) so I had to use a rubber mallet to widen the hitch. After that every thing went smoothly. There were a few scuffs on the hitch when it arrived.678378

Great fit, smooth installation with no hassles.
Only one issue with the installation being that one of the bolts/nuts stripped when torquing to the required specifications.606924

I used my hitch to haul my own trailer from Minnesota to Tennessee, fully loaded and then returned and hauled a UHaul trailer, also fully loaded to Tennessee with no issues at all. Great product and perfect fitment. Thanks

Great fit and finish, install was easy enough. One issue seems to be the receiver is under the bumper a few inches so an extension will be needed for a lot of hitches. It does look nice recessed back and it let’s you still use a ball in the bumper if for some reason you want to do that.1022248

This hitch has been great. Installation went easier than expected. I have pulled trailers many many times and have also used a receiver mounted carrier rack in it. I’m so glad I purchased this. 595379

It fit very well, well made, strong. The connections for electrical were straight forward and plugged right into my truck. No splicing, or cutting. I love it, I would recommend this product to anyone in need of a hitch887309

The Curt receivers I purchased for my 94 S10 and my 2020 Kia Sportage only took about 30 min each to install and both fit perfectly. The wiring harness for the Kia took about 90 minutes to install only because of all the internal plastic paneling that must be removed to run the harness. The S10 harness took 5 minutes to install. Great products and fast shipping.1087852

Product was delivered on the day promised. The hitch fit the old S-10 perfectly. I had the bumper already off and the bolts out. Hitch installed in 10 minutes. Hopkins light kit installed in one minute. Electric impact wrench really helps on breaking the old bolts loose and tightening up the new ones. Five stars in every category. 746933

great hitch, fits great. Got this hitch for my 2003 sonoma pick up. Needed a better hitch to tow my pontoon boat. Now have 2 draw bars, one 2" ball for one trailer and 1 7/8" for other trailer . Don't have to keep changing the ball.688336

My order came very quickly. The quality of the receiver hitch is very well built. It seemed to attach to my 2002 GMC Sonoma pretty easily. The only thing was that we had to drill out the holes in the frame of the truck to fit the bolts that came with the receiver. Other than that, it went on easy.1094779
