I have 5 different fifth wheel and gooseneck wiring harnesses to fit your 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD with the factory tow package.
The most popular is the Draw-Tite 90 Degree Wiring Harness, part # 50-97-410. This has a 90 degree adapter head and 9 feet of wiring harness. The 90 degree head is nice when installing the 7-way to the sidewall of the truck bed. The 9 feet of wiring harness gives enough wiring to allow the connector to be installed most anywhere in the truck bed.
The Curt Wiring Harness, part # C56000, is another choice. It comes with a 7-1/2 foot long wiring harness.
The last two harnesses are the same Pollak harness, the only difference is the Pollak Wiring Harness, part # PK11893-11932, includes a 7-way connector and the Pollak Wiring Harness, part # PK11932 is just the wiring harness. The length of the wiring harness is 7-1/2 feet long.
The Pollak wiring harnesses requires you to pin the truck bed end in the connector. They leave it unpinned in case your trailer is wired in a non-standard fashion. It snaps into the backside of the 7-Way.
There is no difference in quality. They are all high quality wiring harnesses, it is just what the customer preference is.
