Question:
Hi Guys, I have a 2003 Silverado 1500 that didnt come with a factory hitch. I would like to know if the frame is pre drilled for one of your hitches? 2003 Silverado 1500 extended cab 6.5 ft bed Fleetside. Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
The holes are already in the frame of your 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 for a trailer hitch receiver to be installed, which means you aren't going to have to do any drilling for installation.
I recommend the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98849 because it is a quality hitch with a matte black finish that is going to hide any potential scratches while also being the most economical option for a trailer hitch on your truck. I have added a link to the installation instructions as well as a video of an installation so you can see how the hitch installs.
