Features to know about
Bring More Capability to Your Vehicle: Class III 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver
This hitch opens up your options for towing and carrying gear. With a 5,000 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and 500 lbs maximum tongue weight, it’s built for everyday hauling. When used with weight distribution, those numbers climb to 8,000 lbs GTW and 800 lbs TW. The 2" x 2" receiver works with most bike racks, cargo carriers, and ball mounts, so you can take your bikes, camping trailer, or small utility trailer anywhere you need to go.
Simple Weekend Install: Bolt-On Design, No Welding Required
You don’t need a lift or special tools to get this hitch on your vehicle. It’s a fully welded, custom-fit design that bolts directly to the frame using the included hardware. No welding or complicated modifications are required, so it’s a solid DIY project for anyone with basic tools and some driveway space. Once it’s on, you’ve got a strong mounting point that’s ready for towing or carrying extra gear.
Stay Looking Sharp: Matte Black Powder Coat Finish Hides Scuffs and Rust
The matte black powder coat finish gives this hitch a clean, rugged look that stands out next to typical glossy hitches. It’s applied over a protective base coat for superior rust resistance, so it holds up well against road grime and weather. The tough matte coating also hides dirt and dings better than shiny finishes, keeping the hitch looking fresh even after heavy use.
Built for Strength: Precision Welding and Square-Tube Construction
Every weld is done by robot for precise alignment and consistent strength across the frame. The sturdy square-tube design gives you confidence under load, whether you’re towing or just adding storage space with a cargo platform. It’s the kind of solid build that feels ready for real work right out of the box.

Nick was great.
I believe he helped us on a past order too. He helped us decide which hitch & RV pads would be best, and helped put the entire order together.. I've referred Nick & etrailer to others.
Thanks again..

The product is great and installation instructions were right on the money. But even better was the customer service and the helpful assurance that this hitch receiver would fit our truck with an aftermarket roll pan! Delivery was quick and satisfaction was guaranteed!

Finish is holding up well..works for my roll pan style rear bumper replacement with minor modifications to the roll pan...had one minor frame bolt location adjustment to get 6 grade 8 fasteners in the mix-no skimping !!
No additional hardware was needed..

Its been a year ago that I installed my receiver hitch on my SS Truck. It mounted perfectly with the existing holes in the frame as it said in the catalog. This is very well made with heavy steel. I highly recommend this product to anyone! Gary J.

Great product got it fast but I think you guys should start bubble wrapping..my hitch was bent possibly during shipping but I used a hole punch and made it work.

It sounds like that the side brackets were knocked out of alignment. This can happen while in transit to our facility or to you. We do have a great FAQ that provides ways to move the brackets back into alignment so the hitch can be installed.

I would like to start off by giving etrailer.com a great review. Best prices out there. Good shipping time. Even with memorial day it showed up Very fast.
The Curt hitch I ordered seems like a nice product. The only grip/problem I have with it is the fact that it comes with carriage bolts, and a square hole bar for the top side of the frame. While attempting to install this hitch; the bar is not long enough and does not stop spinning when tightening down the bolts.
So now I need to go to the hardware store and buy hardware that I can actually put a wrench on, because I don't want to fool around with a silly bar that doesn't do its job.

Delivery was exceptional fast. I have very thing installed and love my new trailer hitch. No one even knows it is there. My next challenge is finding something to help assist my rear suspension when towing. My truck has a 6" lowered drop in the rear.

the hitch is good and tucks up nice behind the roll pan, but it's a real pain in the axx to put the hitch pin in place. you need to open the hole in the roll pan to fit your hand in there.

- Correct Trailer Hitch and 7-Way Wiring Setup for a 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 Short Bed 2WD PickupHi JD, great question and thank you for all of the helpful info! Based on the information you provided, it sounds like you have a standard 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 short bed pickup and not a 1500HD, but I do want to verify whether it is a regular pickup bed or a cab and chassis style work truck before locking in the hitch recommendation since that changes fitment quite a bit. I am not able to look up the VIN. If your truck has a standard pickup bed, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part...
