Prompt delivery. Exactly as described. Everything needed for installation with precise instructions. Perfect fit and receiver is flush with bumper. Truck is rated for 5000 lbs, but will only be used for 3000 lb boat or small utility trailer. Thanks again, you guys are great.

Working great! The finish has held up great despite living on a gravel road.

I purchased the wrong one by mistake. I have duel exhaust and the one with the inner lip doesn’t fit so i returned it. And they charge w $40 but I tried to exchange it for the right one. I think that was unfair after all I just wanted the right one other than that it’s a nice hitch no pictures I’m not all the way satisfied

Great I received the wrong item at first but they replaced it I think they charge me for a return I’m not sure



by:

What can one possibly say about a trailer hitch? It works, that's the bottom line.
The last hitch I had that came with my truck 22 years ago, had rusted so bad inside the receiver tube that the ball mount simply could not be removed, they had rusted together so bad even a torch wouldn't remove them. So when I got the new receiver I coated it inside with "never cease", a compound that's prevents rusting. Hopefully this will work for the next 22 years



by:

It took a couple of new holes in the frame of the truck and a transmission jack to lift and position (it was heavy), it's mounted and really solid. I've pulled my travel trailer, a loaded car hauler and pulled heavy Oak logs out of some timber. I would NOT trade it for a different kind. If I break anything it won't be the hitch.



by:
1994 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup

Fit perfectly onto our truck and installation was easy. I am not sure if this was an issue with specifically our truck but the two holes for the middle mount positions had to be drilled to make them larger to accept the provided bolts. Have been hauling all sorts of stuff since receiving and has done great. The only negative I have on the receiver is that the loops for the chains slightly interfere with the pin for the hitch. I need to lift the pin to get it out of the way to attach the chains.

Overall it does a great job, easy to install, and was a great price.



by:
1991 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup

Great hitch. Took me a lot longer than 2 hours because my truck has aftermarket dual exhaust. The mufflers were in the way so I had to cut off the muffler hangers to move the pipes so the hitch would line up. Had to mess with raising the spare tire because the crossover pipe from one muffler to the other was in the way & the front of the hitch was in the way also. Had to line up the spare tire as I raised it. Will be going to the muffler shop so they can reline everything. After all that, the hitch bolted on with no problem. I love how well made the Curt hitch is. My truck is a 1991 Silverado 1500 with step bumper.

Fast and simple. Fits like a glove. Kinda surprised at how near perfect the whole install was. THANK YOU, etrailer.

One year later and the hitch looks the same as it did the day I installed it.

Etrailer is the best place to get affordable planned trailer parts.

This hitch tucks up behind the bumper so only the receiver shows, just below and even with the bumper. Easy installation.



by:

Most excellent. Fit up exactly as it should have with all the right hardware.
Excellent value.
Will work just right for pulling my motorcycle in a 5’ X 10’ wells cargo trailer.

The product said no drilling for installation but I did have to drill a pre existing hole a little bit bigger on my 1996 Chevy Silverado. Otherwise, product is great

Delivered the day it was supposed to be. With a floor jack and impact it was installed in twenty minutes. Fit like from the factory. Thanks

Everything was in the kit like they described it. Installation was very easy. Agree with the other gentleman one grounding bolt was in the way but very simple to move. Would recommend this product to everyone.

  • Correct Class III Trailer Hitch for a 1989 GMC K1500 Regular Cab

  • Is Crosstube Concealed on Curt Hitch When Installed on 1991 Chevy C/K Series Pickup Truck?
    The crosstube of Curt hitch # C13042 that fits your 1991 Chevy C/K Series Pickup truck will mostly be concealed behind your factory bumper. If you take a look at the accompanying photo from a customer with a 1990 C/K, you can see how the hitch will look when in place.

  • Availability of a Class III Trailer Hitch to Fit a 1997 Chevrolet K1500 Truck
    I have a solution for you, but the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, # C13029, that you referenced will not fit the 1997 Chevrolet K1500 truck. If your truck has the standard or step bumper, then the Curt Class III Trailer Receiver Hitch, # C13042, will fit you truck. If your truck has the 10 inch deep drop bumper, then the Curt hitch, # C13099, is confirmed to fit. See attached picture to see the difference in bumpers.

  • Which Trailer Hitch Receiver For 1992 Chevrolet CK 1500 With Standard Bumper
    I have another option but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13942 will not fit on your 1992 Chevrolet CK 1500 if you do not have a roll pan. This is due to the fact that the roll pan hitches sit higher up and require a cut out in the roll pan for the hitch. With your standard bumper the hitch would be behind the bumper instead of under it. As long as you have a standard rear bumper I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13042 which will put the receiver tube under the bumper,...

    I do have a great option for you, however I checked with Curt and it doesn't look like the Multi-Fit Class III Trailer Hitch # C13902 will fit without some significant modifications on your older 1995 Chevy C1500. As long as you have the factory standard or step bumper, a much better option is with the Curt Class III # C13042. This hitch is specifically designed for this truck and it will use existing holes in it's frame rails for a no-drill installation. The spare tire will need to be...

  • What Does 34 Inch Frame Mean For Determining Hitch Fit on 1998 Chevy C/K Pickup
    A 34 inch frame for your 1998 Chevy C/K will mean you have the cab and chassis and not a standard pickup. So there are different hitches depending on if you have a cab and chassis (which is a 34 inch frame) or a standard pickup: - Cab and Chassis: Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13028 - Pickup w/ Standard or Step Bumper: Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13042

  • Will the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13042 Fit a 1998 Chevy Pickup 1500
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13042 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 1998 Chevy 1500. If looks like when you selected your vehicle you chose "1998 Chevrolet C-Series Medium Duty" instead of the "1998 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup" catagory that your 1500 falls under. If you will be using this trailer hitch to tow lighter trailers that don't utilize brakes then you will also want to install the Tekonsha T-One # 118315 to activate the basic trailer lighting functions....

There is no drilling needed for this hitch installation, but you will need to lower your spare tire for installation. If you don't already have trailer wiring, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118315 which is confirmed to fit your truck.

  • Best Priced Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 1988 Chevy Truck
    Our lowest price hitch that is a confirmed fit for your 1988 Chevy truck is the Curt part # 13028 which would work well for you. It has a 6,000 lb total trailer weight capacity though so as long as that 5,700 lb figure includes the trailer you would be good. Otherwise you would have to go with a higher rated hitch like the Draw Tite part # 41901 which is also a confirmed fit.

    Yes, the spare tire can still fit under your 1997 Chevy K1500 after Curt trailer hitch # C13042 is installed. It is recommended to remove the spare to make installing the hitch easier but then it can be put back in place. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4.

    I spoke with my contact at Curt regarding your 1999 Chevy C1500 pickup with the extended cab and standard bumper. He stated that 1999 was a split year for Chevrolet between the C-Series and Silverado, so as long as you do in fact have the C-Series C1500, the correct Class III hitch is the Curt # C13042. This Class III trailer hitch has a towing capacity of 6,000 pounds and will provide a 2 inch receiver opening. Just note that the spare tire will need to be lowered or removed temporarily...

  • Hitch Fit for 1993 Chevy C1500
    A much better hitch fit for your 1993 Chevy C1500 would be one custom fit for your truck like the Curt # C13042 as the # C13900 is a multi fit hitch that wouldn't fit easily.

  • Class III Hitch for 1994 Chevy K1500 That Allows Spare Tire to Remain Stowed Under Vehicle
    According to Curt, their # C13042 Class III hitch you'd looked at will allow a stock size spare tire on a 15 or 16 inch wheel to stow under the vehicle once the hitch is installed. To ease installation, it's recommended that the spare tire be removed or lowered for easier access to the frame rails. To install a 4 pole trailer connector, use part # 118315 or use # 20023 for a 7-way.
