Due to variations in tow hook fasteners, the 1/2" holes in the hitch may need to be enlarged to 9/16" holes for the tow hook bolts to fit. No drilling required for installation , Trimming of front air dam and/or fascia may be required for installation

2004 Chevrolet Silverado
I had been waiting to find this Curt hitch on sale for a while.
First off I get to keep the hooks that came with my 2004 Silverado Crew cab 2500HD 4x4.
Then I removed two existing bolts and loosened a third on each hook.
Using a floor jack lifted the hitch into place and threaded in the new bolts through the frame and into the hooks.
The biggest problem I had was being able to reach the bolts into the side of the frame and hooks w/out removing the air dam.
Looks GREAT!!
I know some reviews have mentioned a reduction in ground clearance but my truck is not lifted and the clearance is nearly the same as the transmission skid plate installed by the factory.
I sometimes need to get low hard to see trailers into tight spaces and I’m also looking to pick up a winch. Looking forward to many years of hard work.
by: Dale Miles01/25/2014
Unbelievable how clean the install is for this product!! I was certain I would have to do some cutting or drilling, however not a single cut or new hole required. The product fit like it was straight from the factory ... even with the existing front Grille Guard that I have on my truck!!
I also appreciate the FAST shipping and customer service, as tracking info was emailed after the product shipped without requesting this info and the product arrived within the same week.
I've already recommended etrailer to other landscapers on lawnsite.com, as we're always looking for front-mount solutions for spreaders and other landscape equipment.

I have to say that I absolutely LOVE this product!! It works perfect for mounting my walk-behind fertilizer spreader to the front of my truck while having the larger PermaGreen spreader on the back of my truck. Having this front-mounted hitch has allowed me to carry both of my spreaders and not sprain my back while wrestling the smaller spreader out of the bed of my truck as I had before.

This was the easiest installation of the 10 or more hitches that I have installed. Four bolts out and replaced with four suppler bolts and washer. No modification of the air dam needed.
I needed some washers (supplied) between the frame and the receiver as spacers. I recommended that you figure out how many you need (1 or 2 per side), then lower it down and tape them in place to hold them in place and push the bolts through the tape after you lift it back in place.
Cover the ground with a rug or cardboard to keep from scratching the receiver when it’s on the ground before you lift it into place.

Still good. No corrosion or other issues.
by: Terry11/04/2021
This was possibly the easiest hitch install I've ever done! All the holes lined up, the onle thing was two of the bolts they supplied are not long enough,I had the longer bolts in stock and finished. I haul a truck camper so needed the extra cargo space, looks like it'll work!
there was 4 bolts in the kit to replace the bolts in the tow hooks, the 2 that went into the side where the ones that where too short, they where 1 3/4" I replaced them with 2 1/4" bolts. There was a gap between the hitch mount and the frame approximately 1/16" that a washer filled that gap. I'm a retired shop owner that did auto repair and fabrication so it was an easy install.

I will have our customer service team reach out to you. The hitch manufacturer prefers to have the hardware that comes with the hitch be used for warranty purposes.
by: Pat C.07/04/2020
I purchased the front hitch for my truck. With a fifth wheel I can’t carry bikes anywhere but the front. I really don’t trust the strength of the rear bumper on these RV’s. Hitch went on easy in the garage with no alterations needed. The bikes sit a bit high but that’s not the hitch problem....
I will also use it for other functions around the truck...push/re-locate utility trailer in tight spaces, use for a rack to haul stuff like firewood etc...when back hitch is unavailable.
by: Wayne10/06/2022
Great product easy installation reinforces your front end will definitely buy again for my next truck
by: David07/27/2022
Easy install; unobtrusive, but hitch receiver is far enough forward I can install the bike rack without needing an extension.

This is the second hitch I've ordered for my truck. This hitch was very easy to install on the front of my GMC Sierra and is almost unnoticeable, which I like. I use it to transport a small Honda Trail 90 motorcycle, and it's 9000lb rating is well above what I am asking it to do. It arrived via UPS several days after ordering, was in good shape, and only took ten minutes to install with only two different size socket wrenches. Highly recommend this unit for the front of any truck.

2004 GMC Sierra 3500
The 31108 Front Mount Hitch Receiver was a perfect match for my 2004 GMC Sierra 3500. I seemed well built and the instructions were clear and easy to understand. I installed the hitch in under 45 minutes and that includes prep time. No special tools required. See photo attached.
by: Chris12/22/2023
I waited 12 days for a shipment from amazon and the hitch was lost. They want to send me another hitch with a due date of January 6, 2024! You guys are the best! 2 day’s service was outstanding!!!
by: Bill Schmall 06/26/2014
I would add to your instruction, if you have the factory hooks, remove the four bolts as stated and give to customer, " loosen the other two bolts on the outside of frame" this gives you a little wiggle room to start the new bolts. BUT great product and great people.

You sent me the wrong part.
by: Doug05/16/2020
This hitch mounted to tow hooks just as described, even with existing brush guard. Needed it to haul a generator the only issue was the brush guard stuck out too far so I had to buy a 12" extender. Now every thing works as planned. Shipping was fast and customer service was great.
Thank You

2006 Chevrolet Silverado
Very good quality, Heavy Duty hitch that looks easy to install.
Ian W was very helpful with my order and customer service has been great.
This hitch fits the Chevy Silverado 2500 and 3500 I believe. My Chevy is a 2006 model.
I highly recommend Curt hitches and ETRAILER.COM.

The front hitch was easy to install and has been very useful. I just wished the 2006 Chevy Silverado had more clearance as far as height goes on the front end.Mine is a 4x4 but it could sure use a lift kit. The hitch is great though!
by: Rod S.09/09/2013
2005 Chevrolet Silverado
15 minute, piece of cake single-handed install. Instructions say cutting fascia optional on 2500. Not even close to needing to. Truck is 2005 Silverado 2500HD. Receiver sits up there nice and tight, so doesn't change ground clearances.

Hitch is in excellent condition even though it tried to get out of the box.

by: Peter12/16/2022
I did not get a chance to put it on right away. Now that I have put the front hitch on , it looks great. It was harder getting the original old bolts off than it was putting on the hitch. The hitch went on quickly and now I can use it to put a plow on for these snowy Ohio winters.
by: Scott03/12/2023
I installed the hitch with no problems, looks great. The item was poorly packed for shipping and I consider myself lucky to see it arrive.
by: Bob 01/30/2023
Easy install, the bolts that went into the recovery hooks were about 1/2” short and couldn’t get the threads to bite
by: Andy G01/13/2015
I received the product (hitch) today and haven't had the opportunity to put it on my truck. I hope to do that this week or next. I can write an additional review at that time. Wayne H. did a great job clarifying which hitch would be best for my needs. I'll summit a picture after it is installed.

I love the product. It has come in lhandy many times when moving my trailer and boats. I would definitely purchase another if I ever purchase another truck in the future. I would recommend this product to anyone.

This hitch was great! What really saved the day was the fact that eTrailer had taken the time to make a video of how to install it. I watched it twice and she went right on. I have an old vintage Honda Trail 90 that I like to haul every now and then. Camper on the back....motorcycle out front!

See what our Experts say about this CURT Front Receiver Hitch
- Correct Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2002 Chevy Suburban 1500The correct Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2002 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 is part # 31302, part # 31108 is for 2500 models and they are not cross compatible.
view full answer... - Correct Front Mounted Receiver for 2005 Chevy SilveradoThe # K2AVAL8422 K2 plow attaches to the vehicle using a standard front mounted hitch. The hitch you need will depend on whether your Silverado is a 1500 or a 1500 HD model. The easy way to differentiate between the two is the hubs. The 1500 has 6 bolt hubs while the 1500HD has 8 bolt hubs. If you have the 1500 model, I'd recommend the Curt # 31302. If you have the 1500HD model, use the Curt # 31108. I've linked to installation videos for both hitches mentioned above.
view full answer... - Front Mount Hitch for a 2002 GMC Sierra 2500HD for using a Fisher Minute Mount PlowThe Curt front mount hitch, part # 31108, will fit your 2002 GMC 2500. It provides a standard 2 inch receiver opening, so if that is what the Fisher plow needs, you should be set. I would double check with Fisher or the plow instructions to make sure what kind of attachment it needs. The hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 500 pounds and a gross load capacity of 5,000 pounds. I have added a link to the instructions below.
view full answer... - What Front Mount Hitch Should I use for My 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 Extended Cab Z71LD stands for light duty. If your truck is badged as a 1500HD, you would use Curt part # 31108 instead. If your truck is not badged with HD, then you would use the 31302 for your front mount. If you have the Vortec 4800 or Vortec 5300 V8, you definitely have an LD. The 1500HD trucks got the Vortec 6000 V8.
view full answer... - Front Hitch Recommendation for a 2006 GMC SierraIf your 2006 GMC Sierra is a 1500 LD then the Curt Hitch part # 31302 would be the correct front mount hitch. If you have a 1500HD or 2500HD/3500HD you would instead want the part # 31108. I attached install videos for both hitches for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Front Receiver Hitch for a 1989 Chevy K1500 (4x4)We have a couple of options for front mount hitches that will fit your 1989 Chevy K1500. First we have # 65005. With this hitch drilling is required for installation but it costs less than the other option. That other option is Curt hitch # 31042 which does not require drilling. Either hitch is rated for 9,000 pounds line pull and 500 pounds vertical load (tongue weight). I have included links to the installation instructions for both hitches for you.

I took a look at the installation instructions and capacities and they are as close to identical as you can get. I recommend going with the one that is the most cost effective. I have linked an installation video below for each of these hitches along with the installation instructions so you can see how to get them set up. Both may require you to enlarge...

The correct one will depend on if you have a 1500 LD or 1500 HD: - 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500 LD: Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31302 - 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500 HD: Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31108 These will do a really nice job for you to push or pull a light duty trailer...

For a roof rack I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex System, parts # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK227, which gives you a mounting point for the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier # e98878 which is the kayak carrier I recommend. You will need to get 1 for each boat using this carrier. We do have some carriers that allow you to load...
view full answer... - Install Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 31108, on 03 GMC 2500 Yukon XL with skid platesOn the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 31108, there is minor fascia trim required when installing on 2003 GMC 2500 Yukon XL. As far as the fitment on your vehicle with the skid plates istalled, I checked with the supplier (Curt), they said they have not heard of any problems of them fitting with factory skid plates, but if the skid plates were a dealer installed item, which is an aftermarket item, they would not know because they do not test their fitments against aftermarket...
view full answer... - Difference Between 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500 Curt and Draw-Tite Front HitchesThe only real difference between the Curt # 31108 and Draw-Tite # 65028 front hitches for your 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500 is that we've found the Curt hitches to traditionally have a little thicker of a powder coat which means they are a little better protected against the elements as well as scratches. Because of this I recommend the Curt over the Draw-Tite. Aside from that these hitches will install the exact same way and have the same weight capacities so it's just two different manufacturers...
view full answer... - Comparing Curt Versus Draw-Tite Front Trailer Hitch Receivers For a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500The Curt # 31108 and Draw-Tite # 65028 are very similar and will even install the same on your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. They also have the same weight capacity ratings of 500lbs tongue weight, 5,000lbs trailer weight and 9,000LB line pull. The only difference worth noting is the Curt is assembled in the USA. With that said I feel like the Curt is going to have the better quality.
view full answer... - Cargo Carrier for Front Mounted Receiver on 2005 Silverado to Carry Chest Freezer Full of ElkWhat are the dimensions of the freezer you're asking about? The standard railed carrier, like the Pro Series # 63153 measures 24x60. For something a bit narrow and longer at 49x 22-1/2, take a look at the Curt # C18113. Both carriers have a 500 lb capacity, but keep in mind that the weight of the carrier plays into the tongue weight as well. The carrier, the freezer and the meat in the freezer couldn't weigh more than 500 lbs. You should also consider that carrying a freezer on the front...
view full answer... - Front Hitch Option for 2005 Chevy Silverado 3500Due to the design of the front of your 2005 Chevy Silverado 3500 the only place you'll be able to have a front hitch opening is below the front fascia like where the Curt # 31108 installs. This would be best option we have, but if you really needed something that sits higher you'd probably need to find a fabricator who would be willing to modify the front fascia of your truck and see if they could install one higher.

- Front Hitch Recommendation for a 2003 GMC Sierra 3/4 ton TruckBetween the two hitches the one that is confirmed to fit your 2003 GMC Sierra 3/4 ton truck would be the # 31108. The # 31302 that you also referenced is designed to fit only the 1500 LD models so it wouldn't be the correct hitch for you. That is the difference between the two part numbers.
view full answer... - Availability of Front Mounted Hitch for 2006 GMC SierraThe Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch part # 31108 is a confirmed fit for your 2006 GMC Sierra and will provide a fit for your 2 inch hitch-mounted bike rack. I have included instructions for the proper installation of this front-mounted trailer hitch. You may find some issues with a front mounted bike rack however. Visibility may be an issue. In addition, the fully-loaded bike rack may block the head lights and/or license plate. Finally, the bikes may block airflow through the grille, causing...
view full answer... - Comparison Of Draw-Tite And Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch For 2006 Chevrolet SilveradoSince both of the front-mount trailer hitches for your 2006 Silverado have the same features and capacity I recommend going with the less-expensive option. The Draw-Tite hitch, part # 65028 and the Curt, part # 31108 use the same holes in the vehicle frame for installation and both require trimming of the fascia on some models so I recommend going with the less expensive # 65028.

As you can see in the video, some bolts are removed on both sides of the truck. You can see if any of the locations used to mount the trailer hitch will interfere with your plow push plates on your truck. The same frame holes are used for installation of the Curt Front-Mount Hitch, part # 31108. For both of these hitches, the instructions...

If it was a 1500 Heavy Duty model then you would use # 65028 or # 31108. The differences between the LD and HD models of the 1500 require different hitches for each.
view full answer... - Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver Options for a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD 4x4If your 2000 Chevy is a C/K series then you will want to use part # 31042 for Curt or part # 65005 for Draw-Tite but if your truck is the Silverado version then you will want to use part # 31108 for Curt or part # 65028 for Draw-Tite. All of the above trailer hitches have a 2" receiver tube opening with a vertical line pull rating of 9,000 lbs and a vertical load rating of 500 lbs.
