Question

Hi folks, I have a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, and honestly cannot tell the difference between the two front bumper hitches recommended # 65028 and # 31108. Can you tell what is different? Thank you

The Curt # 31108 and Draw-Tite # 65028 are very similar and will even install the same on your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. They also have the same weight capacity ratings of 500lbs tongue weight, 5,000lbs trailer weight and 9,000LB line pull. The only difference worth noting is the Curt is assembled in the USA. With that said I feel like the Curt is going to have the better quality.
