What is Vertical Height from Truck Frame to Hitch Tube on Draw Tite Hitch # 41947

Question

Question:

When on your site, the selection just allows 2002 Chevy Silverado. I have a 2002 Chevy 2500 HD Duramax, 6.6 Liter Diesel. Looking under my trucks rear end I’m not so sure you hitch fits my truck. And when you do not have my truck I worry. The rear support for the springs look to be too far back and may interfere with your attachment bracket. So does your hitch fit a 2002 2500HD Duramax 6.6 L diesel with a 6.5 ft bed?

Expert Reply:

The Draw Tite hitch part # 41947 that you referenced actually is height adjustable. From the mounting surface (truck frame) down to the hitch opening can be 6-5/8, 8-1/4 or 10-1/4 inches.

Thank you for your help on the vertical height. One more question. Do you offer a 7 point connector for the trailer lights with the hitch as I will need one as the present 7 point connector is part of my existing hitch. I have a 2002 2500HD Chevy Duramax. It’s bed is a 6.5 ft long and the engine is a 6.6 L diesel.

Yes, we have the Curt 7-way/4-way part # C55774 which fits your truck and will work great.

At the time you asked the original question I didn't know hat your truck was. I was just giving install info on what we knew about it. The most similar hitch we have that does fit your truck is the Draw Tite # 41944 instead.
