Question:

I have a 2004 GMC Yukon SLT that has a factory installed receiver. What accommodations are necessary in order for this hitch to be installed? Thanks

I spoke with my contact in the Tech Services department at Curt Manufacturing.

I was told that installing the # C15324 on your 2004 Yukon would be a simple matter of unbolting the existing hardware holding the factory hitch into place, removing the hitch and installing the # C15324 according to the instructions.

Keep in mind that although this hitch has a 16,000 lb towing/ 2,400 lb tongue weight capacity, your actual capacity might be limited by the actual towing capacity of your Yukon, if it is less than that of the hitch. Once the hitch is installed, you will also need to make sure that the ball mount you use is rated for the load you art towing.
