Question:

I want to tow my 7500 lb GVWR travel trailer with my 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 crew cab. I'm not sure which hitch to get. What is recommended? I found the round plug behind the bumper for the wiring.

Expert Reply:

I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C59UR which because of its 10000 lb towing and 1000 lb tongue weight capacity, it'll have plenty of capacity for the travel trailer you mentioned. To add a 7-way/4-pole trailer connector, I'd recommend the Hopkins # HM40975. For a ball mount, I'd go with # D-4, Hitch Pin and Clip, # PC3, part # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball or # 63853 for a 2-5/16 inch ball.

I've linked to install videos for the hitch and the trailer wiring harness.
