Question:

I have a 2006 Silverado 1500 WT long bed and am looking at class 3 Curt hitches. I was wondering the pros and cons of the 13322 and the 13332 aside from the round to square tubing. Thank you.

Expert Reply:

That's a really good question, and there are a couple of differences between the two Curt hitches that fit your 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500, the round tube Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13322 and the square tube Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13332.

The first difference is that the square tube hitch is going to be more concealed, as the tube is straight and going to be hidden behind the bumper more, while the round tube will stick out and the tube will be far more noticeable under your truck. That's the main difference between the two hitches, with the only other one being the safety chain loops having a slightly different design.

The round tube Curt Hitch # 13322 has a bit of a more streamlined design than the standard hoops under the square tube Curt Hitch # 13332, as you can see in the accompanying photo I added.

Apart from that, the hitches are the same, with the same installation and the same capacities of 6,000 lbs towing/600 lbs tongue weight. So really the only thing you need to decide is the look you prefer, the more noticeable look of the round tube Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13322 or the more concealed look of the square tube Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13332.
