Question:

I am looking for a class iv hitch for my 2003 chevy silverado 1500. My truck did not come with the factory installed tow package. The guys at my local Addvanced Auto store said that makes a difference . Will this hitch fit my truck?

Expert Reply:

The term tow package can mean different things to different people. For us, tow package usually means a vehicle is wired for towing from the factory but does not necessarily include whether or not the vehicle has a trailer hitch. What they may have been referring to is if your 2003 Chevy Silverado has a deep drop bumper or lift gate installed, there are certain hitches that will and will not fit.

No matter what style you have, there will be a trailer hitch that will fit. The Draw-Tite Hitch, # 41932, that you have referenced will fit a 2003 Silverado 1500 (excludes the SS model) but not if it is equipped with a deep drop bumper or Tommy Lift Gate. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. If you do have a lift gate or deep drop bumper, you would need Curt Trailer hitch # 13339.

The recommended ball mount is # 40331 and you can use pin and clip # PC3. For a ball, you can use # A-90 (2 inch diameter) or # 19286 (2-5/16 inch diameter). If you need a trailer connector, you can use # HM40975 with wiring # PK11998. I have included a link to an FAQ article that explains the wiring on the truck and where it is located, should you need to install a wiring harness.
