This trailer attachment is solid and came well packaged!

arrived in 3 days bolted right up I'm very happy with Etrailer will recommend them to everybody



by:

Good fit and easy install. One of the six bolts provided would not thread for some reason. The factory bolt would go back in, so it is being used for time being. Only other problem I found was the instructions stated 21mm for the new bolts. However it was a 22mm socket.



by:

Very satisfied! This price point was reasonable. Shipping was supposed to be the 5th-7th and it arrived on the 5th. Everything lined up perfectly and it was easy to install (once I figured out how to support it while I worked on it. Lol). I did have to drop the spare tire to get it on and then raise it back up after, as there wasn't enough clearance with it up. Overall, great product and I'm now road ready with my trailer!

Super fast shipping and a great price.

Being in South Florida area close to the ocean saltwater has not affected this hitch at all very little rust on the receiving part of it strictly from Hitch going in and out easy six bolt installation three bolts on each side highly recommend ordering the trailer wiring kit the police pursuit vehicle does have the factory wiring harness tucked up behind the rear bumper easy install gives you both 7-way and four-way. Hitch does not sit lower than tailpipe therefore no worries about being too low to the ground. Excellent addition to anyone who owns a police pursuit Tahoe because they do not come with the hitch and its been working great for towing jet skis four wheelers golf carts and ATVs Into the Woods and Lake highly recommended super fast shipping great job etrailer

  • Replacement for 2013 Chevy Tahoe Factory Hitch
    Hey Daniel! The only hitch we have for a 2013 Chevy Tahoe is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13161 and it's for a Tahoe with the Police Package. I believe you're referring to the hitch that has the receiver located in the cutout in the center of the bumper. This is only available as an OEM so you'll need to reach out to a GM parts dealer for an exact replacement. What do you plan on using the hitch for?

  • Dimensions of the Curt Trailer Hitch part # C13161
    I attached a picture that has basically every dimension of the Curt hitch part # C13161. It will hang down 8.28 inches from the mounting surface. From the rear mounting flange to the hitch opening it measures 15-3/4 inches.

  • Does Curt Hitch C13161 Fit 2014 Chevy PPV Tahoes Only?
    I actually own a 2015 Chevy PPV so I can help with some insight into the hitch fit of the C13161. So the hitch does fit both the PPV and the Tahoe but the reason you might see that it's only listed for the PPV is because the PPV models don't have a factory hitch whereas all Tahoe models have the factory hitch built into the rear bumper beam. Since all models of the Tahoe have the factory hitch it's not likely someone would install an aftermarket one like the Curt # C13161. I actually installed...

  • Trailer Hitch and Trailer Wiring Harness Recommended for 2013 Chevy Tahoe Police Package Vehicle
    The Curt Class III hitch, part # C13161 is indeed a fit for a 2013 Chevy Tahoe PPV (Police Package Vehicle). You can see it being installed on a 2012 St. Charles County Police PPV Tahoe by clicking the provided link. The tow package harness is already in place up above the spare tire. You'll just need to unclip it, and plug it in to a connector like the # HM40975. If your Tahoe doesn't have the knockout in the panel under the license plate, you can install the connector to the hitch crossbar...

  • Trailer Hitch for Towing with a 2012 Chevy Tahoe
    The only trailer hitch that was designed for your 2012 Chevy Tahoe is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13161. The Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41947 is a pretty big hitch that is designed for a 2012 Chevy Silverado 3500 cab and chassis model which is pretty different to what you have. With that being said, it looks like your Tahoe has a towing capacity range of 5,200 lbs - 6,000 lbs so since the Curt is rated for a max of 6,000 lbs you will be able to tow with your Tahoe to it's...
