I have a 2005 Chevy Silverado 3500 with a Tommy Lift gate on the back of it that I would like to install this hitch on. Can you tell me if it will work or do I need something different?

Expert Reply:

We do have a trailer hitch option that will fit your 2005 Chevy Silverado 3500 with the Tommy Lift Gate but # 41944 is not a confirmed fit. You can use Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" Item # 13213. It has been confirmed to fit models with the Tommy Lift Gate.

The recommended ball mount for this hitch is Curt Heavy Duty Forged Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 3" Rise - 4" Drop - 17,000 lbs Item # C45341. It takes balls with a 1-1/4 inch shank diameter such as # 19286. If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
