Question:

Will this fit a 2025 2500HD ZR2 with the Bison Package ? The front bumper is a AEV heavy duty. Thank you

Hello KRT,

Wow, congrats on the new Chevy! What is your favorite new feature?

Yes, the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # C52NR will fit your 2025 Chevy Silverado 2500HD ZR2 even with the AEV heavy duty bumper.

I attached an image of the where the hitch receiver comes out, your bumper will not be in the way.

Hey KRT, how did the Curt front hitch work out on your Silverado 2500HD ZR2 with the AEV bumper? It’d be great to hear if the fit matched what you expected. Your update could make it easier for others with the same setup.

@KateF I would also like to know if any other modifications have to be made due to the skid plates on the zr2 bisons. I have this same truck and I would like to put the curt front hitch on mine, but I am not sure it will work because of the aev skid plates and bumper.

@Travis For your 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD ZR2 Bison, the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C94WR does not list any modifications that need to be made to the factory skid plate for installation. We also installed this hitch on a 2025 Silverado 2500HD with the factory skid plate, and it did not interfere with the installation.
