Question

Question:

C15703 This seems to be the best hitch for my 2500hd 2002 chevy. It says it doesnt fit vehicles with a factory hitch. My truck does have a hitch but its weak and Im not sure if its factory. What makes this not fit if I remove my factory hitch?

Hi Jonathan,

Actually, nothing will make the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15703 not fit your 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500HD if you remove the factory hitch.

If you remove that hitch, you can absolutely install the # C15703.
