Question:

What is the difference between the C96CR and the C15800. Both of these Curt trailer hitches are made for the Chevy Silverado and have the same ratings and weights. There is a significant price difference however. Please advise.

Expert Reply:

Good question, and the difference is what they fit; the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15800 is designed to fit cab and chassis frames of not only a Chevy, but also Ram trucks. Cab and chassis frames are much narrower than pickup frames, which is why they are different fits. So if your Silverado 3500 is a cab and chassis, you can use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15800.

Otherwise, if your '21 Chevy Silverado 3500 is a standard pickup, the correct fit for a 2-1/2 inch hitch is the other one you asked about, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C96CR.
