Purchased this tow hitch for one of my service trucks. unfortunately, the truck sold. Overall great product, easy online ordering, shipping and easy to assemble. I am definitely a return customer.
Great build, it does mount differently than stock so if you are replacing your stock one it actually easier to install. My only issue with it is the back holes on my truck were larger holes and the washers the hitch comes with are not great quality metal. I chose to put some flat stock across the top of the frame for more support.
Hitch is very heavy duty but seemed to have been delivered by Ace Ventura. Was very scratched up. Hitch bolted right up on a 2007 GMC 1500 HD. The height of the hitch exactly matched the original. Spare tire does not need to be removed. Per the instructions, you are supposed to re-use the existing aft most frame bolts. Be aware that if you use those, they only engage the weld nut by 3/16 of an inch. That is short of fully maximizing the weld nut. Ideally, the bolt threads should go all the way thru the weld nut plus about 2 threads. I replaced those aft bolts with longer ones that fully engage the weld nut. Since the new hitch does not attach to the bumper, I fabbed a custom Z bracket, using 2 pieces of angle iron, to help carry the load. The light plug assy needed to also be modified. The factory angle is 90 degrees, but the wire harness would bot engage the plug assy. I modified the plug bracket as can be seen in the photos.

Product is alright. As stated in other reviews, the cut outs for the safety chain hooks are poorly designed.
Website said it would fit perfectly for my 2004 Chevy 2500HD. It did not. I had no option to return as I needed to tow the following day so had to work into the night to customize it which therefore I wouldn’t be able to return. I had to use a torch to cut a section out of both sides on the hitch to have it fit around the spring shackle and had to use the torch to make a new bolt hole in the frame closest to the front for that bolt hole. Also drops the receiver an inch lower than the factory height. Was not at all happy but was thankful I had the tools to make it work. Worst thing I hate is that it’s dropped lower than the stock receiver height.

I am sorry to hear that this hitch did not fit your application. I see that this hitch is not a confirmed fit for any of the Chevy HDs. This is only a confirmed fit for the Chevy 2500LD and 1500.
This is one well built piece!!

Fantastic piece. I highly recommendnit!
Excellent quality and easy installation. It took me longer to get the old hitch off than it did to put the new one on. I highly recommend your products. Well engineered and quality built
Great price, quick shipping even with the pandemic going on. Had a little trouble installing this heavy duty hitch by myself but went on very easy with no issues.
I have not pulled anything yet, but don't expect any issues with this 16k rating on a 1/2 ton truck.

Awesome. Still hold strong after 1 year. Handles heavy loads without issues. Still please with this purchase and the easy of installation.
This is an excellent upgrade to the OEM hitch. Installation was easy and the spare tire can remain in it's original location.

The hitch is solid. Tow my 18 deck trailer and 16 dump trailer with no worries. Very nice product.
This is a heavy duty 2" receiver trailer hitch (C1523). The 3/8" steel it is made of is the way to go. Aside from the capacity of the hitch one really great features is that the safety chain hook holes are large enough for 3/8" clevis slip hooks. Most hitches don't seem to have holes that are too small.
I had purchased a 2006 gmc savanna Thomas short bus and needed a hitch for it. The frame was not a normal savanna width. Searching the etrailer site I found drawings of a hitch I believed would work. I needed to enlarge 2 holes to 5/8inch, clean up 2 1/2 inch holes, and drill 2. 1/2 inch holes. In the end I spent more time running to store to get a needed drill bit. The hitch was installed in less then an hour. This was my 2nd hitch from etrailer the last one went on a Ford e350. Had it on in 20 minutes with my sons help. Both hitches purchased were over kill but the xtra capacity is nothing but piece of mind.
The trailer hitch is great simple installation but I had to change hooks on my chain from my trailer other than that top notch

Its pulled everything from a car trailer holding a 1939 Ford to my fishing boat
Does the job. Pretty easy to install, other than somewhat heavy (needed a spare set of hands). Had to drop down spare tire to get the hitch up. Even then, spare tire is still touching hitch (tight fit).
Bought this hitch receiver to replace the old rusted out factory hitch receiver. Bolted right up with no need to drop the spare tire. The differences between this hitch receiver and the factory one are night and day. This thing is solid. My truck will pull apart before this receiver hitch fails. Way overkill for my needs, but I will never worry about a receiver hitch failure!
Very happy with this. Truly bolt on installation without having to modify anything. Definitely seems much stronger than the factory hitch. Its pretty heavy and awkward to do by yourself but its manageable. It took me roughly 20 minutes from start to finish. I no longer have to worry about my hitch while towing.
This hitch is a solid unit! Much more sturdy and beefy than the factory OEM version. Needed this to safely support some heavier tongue weight that worked within my Rear Axle Weight Rating without needing a Weight Distribution Hitch.
Excellent hitch, arrived fast and installation was quick. I have 2011 gmc sierra did not have to remove the spare tire.
The hitch fit perfect. I did it by myself. The hitch is very strong, I think my truck will give out before the hitch will!
This hitch is great, and easy to install. Very happy with this USA made product.
It's well made and installation was pretty simple. Nice early x-mas present!
Went on my 2011 Silverado LT without removing spare tire.
Recently purchased a Curt Class V Hitch-Receiver for my 2010 Silverado to replace the original factory class III, that had seen better days...I am absolutely impressed with the heavy duty build quality, perfect fit, and finish of my new receiver as well as gaining at least 3 extra inches of ground clearance. As far as installation went, in all, it only took about 20 minutes from start to finish...from dropping the spare tire, removing the old receiver, installing the new one, and putting the spare back up...Didn't need a lift or a jack, just rolled under and got it done...and I am in my early 60's...Did I mention it was a perfect fit? I am looking forward to putting my truck back to work and have every confidence in the towing capacity, safety, and longevity of this new hitch. I would very much recommend etrailer.com to anyone, and already have to some family and friends. I definitely plan on doing more business with them for other items for my truck...Sorry I do not have any pics or vids to show how easy it was or how well it fit...Thanks again, and will be in touch

Thanks for the follow up. I very much appreciate it, as it is a rare thing these days. I cannot say enough good things about the quality, strength, durability of this receiver, as well as the peace of mind and confidence that comes with it. In the past year, I have pulled, dragged, and retrieved more crazy things than expected, including some fairly large trees, logs, trucks, and 1 all wheel drive loader-backhoe that was standing on its nose in a creek, buried up to the cab with its rear sticking up...Approximately a 17 to 18 thousand pound machine...no problem...I just grin and shake my head every time. That 3 extra inches of ground clearance gained with it is also a huge plus, especially for some of the wild places I have to go. Am currently looking at an additional truck for heavier duty use, and if it needs a Receiverhitch, I know exactly who to contact. Thank you, all, again. I sincerely appreciate what you do, how you do it, and the quality products you provide.
Great investment for piece of mind when towing those expensive toys.

This hitch is great for the heavy towing I do. 8000lb camper with sway bars. It was a no brainer to put on this class V before hitching on my brand new camper. The stock hitch was a bit to rusty for my liking on my 06 truck. Worth every penny. Easy to install and would highly recommend for those with older trucks with rusty stick hitches.
Purchased this class V hitch to tow a 10,000 equipment trailer with my 1/2 ton pickup. I was surprised how flimsy the OEM Hitch was and this was not comfortable even approaching the claimed rating of the stock reciever. I knew when I was mounting it this was a monster and have no doubts it will handle a full load. Piece of mind was worth every penny spent.

etrailer is lucky to have you as a loyal neighbor (customer) Ricardo! Did you sell the truck before you were able to install the hitch, or were you able to get a little more for the truck with the hitch installed?
