Trailer Hitch and Extension Recommendation for 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HD With Camper

Question

Question:

Having just purchased your torklift front and rear tiedowns, I realized that our new truck camper needs a hitch extension of around 22. I want to haul a small two horse trailer - ca 5000 lb loaded. Do I need the super truss or will something else do ? My truck is an 2006 Silverado Duramax 2500 HD with airbags - the camper weighs about 3000 lbs wet.

For an extension as long as you'd need to have a 2-1/2 inch hitch installed so that you could use the hitch extender part # RP45292 which can be trimmed down to 24 inches.

If you were in need of a 2-1/2 inch hitch then you'd need the part # DT45517 which is a confirmed fit for your 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HD short bed.

Hi Jonathan, Actually, nothing will make the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C15703 not fit your 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500HD if you remove the factory hitch. If you remove that hitch, you can absolutely install the #C15703.

Ground clearance is generally not a problem on full size trucks like your 2007 Chevy Silverado 3500. With that said the 2-1/2 inch hitches for the truck do hang fairly low. The Draw-Tite hitches #DT45519 and #DT45517 fit a little tighter to the rear…

The Torklift hitch part #TLC1205 is the hitch you'd need for your 2007 GMC Sierra 2500HD long bed as the #TLC1204 only fits the short bed trucks.

It sounds like you are looking for a rear set of camper tie downs for your 2008 Chevy Silverado 3500 dually with the Curt hitch part #C15703. For that we have the Torklift set part #TLR3501 which I confirmed with Torklift as a fit.

It looks like the TorkLift tie downs for your old 2004 GMC Sierra 2500 long bed were #TLC2204 for the front and #TLR3503, #TLR3504, #TLC3206, or #TLR3501 for the rear. The 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 Crew Cab long bed uses #TLC2220A for the front and…
