Question:
I have a 2005 Chevrolet 1500hd. Does this hitch fit my truck or do I need to get the one for a 2500hd? Thanks for your help.

Hey Stephen! The B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver # BWHDRH25217 only fits the light duty models of the 2005 Silverado 1500. For a Class V hitch that fits the 1500HD you can use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15323. This is still a bolt-on installation so no drilling will be required. It also has a 2" receiver and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. If you need anything else feel free to reach out in the comments below.
