Best Trailer Hitch For 1993 Chevy C1500 Short Bed
Updated 05/07/2026 | Published 05/02/2026
Question:
Need hitch for 1993 Chevy C1500 Short Bed. Im concerned because many hitches appear to fit long and short bed. The hitch I removed from my 93 long bed hitch from Curt does not fit my 93 short bed. Can you recommend a hitch to fit 1993 Chevrolet C1500 Short Bed? Thank You

Hello Joe, thanks for reaching out. Yes, we do have a hitch for the 1993 Chevy C1500 short bed. For that I recommend the following:
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class IV - 2" # C14081
This will fit short bed pickup models with a standard rear bumper or step bumper. Just keep in mind it will not fit models with the roll pan bumper or dual exhaust models. Also, if you have a spare tire 18" or larger stored under the vehicle, the spare will no longer fit with the hitch installed.
What will you be using the hitch for?

Joe, I installed the Curt C14081 Jesse recommended on my 1997 gmc k1500 reg cab short box and it fit great. It has been a good hitch for my uses. I do have aftermarket dual exhaust that it worked with, however I have not tried installing my 33” spare tire yet.
