Question:
Why does the exhaust hit the class V Curt hitch on my 2015 Chevrolet 2500 6.5foot BED???

Expert Reply:
Exhaust rattle is fairly common problem with hitch installs that can easily be fixed. Since exhaust systems are designed for slight movements they don't always sit in the same spot on every vehicle, so when a hitch is designed for a vehicle the hitch might sit close and not rattle on one vehicle, but on another vehicle the clearances might be different and the exhaust might hit the hitch.
To see how to address the exhaust rattle you are experiencing check out the video I attached to the right.
