This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.Looks very strong and I like the way it tucks up behind the bumper; looks good from outside.
I took two photos, one showing how it looks from outside and one showing how that the hitch is fairly high off the ground - unlikely to hit the ground even in a steep situation.
I came close to giving it 5 stars, except...
1- I had to manhandle it to get bolt holes to line up. I know they warn that it might have gotten "sprung" in shipment - no way; this was just a misalignment of the holes. I used a tire iron to lineup holes and all was then OK.
2- The welds where the round tube joins the mounting plates were not very well made. Not concerned about strength, just they were sloppy. I expected better.
Fast Shipping easy installation perfect fit good not buy same product locally, etrailer helpful in sending the right fit thanks will be shopping more with etrailer.
Great hitch, super easy to install. Just make sure you have a torque wrench to tighten bolts at correct psi. Short sockets are a must to be able to tighten the two bolts that go under the bumper. I had to use a wrench for those two. Took a while but other than that wary install.
The Hitch was good quality two holes had to be die grinded slightly still only took about 15 minutes to install powder coating is nice to would buy again
Great product and Delivered in a timely manner. The staff, Cam J, was very helpful and professional and followed up every step of the way to replace the original product purchased. Great company to deal with.

Working great. Works well with weight distributung hitch.
Great product that fit perfectly
I decided to purchase this based on eTrailer's recommendation. Glad I did. I had to replace the old rusted OEM hitch on a 2004 Chevy Tahoe Z71 and this hitch fits perfectly. Installation was quick and easy, even working by myself. I recommend this product. Well made.

Excellent! I have no complaints.
The product looks great. However there are two bolts that hold the bumper in place have to come out These are two of the bolts rhat also hold the Hitch. So far I have not been able to remove those bolts and will have to take the truck in to some one with a heavy duty impact wrench to remove those bolts so I can get the hitch in place. The instructions do not mention this.

With older vehicles, like the 2003-2006 GM trucks, sometimes that hardware is a little corroded and difficult to remove.When we run into this in our shops, we soak the hardware with a penetrating lubricant like WD-40 or Parts Blaster. We let it sit, and soak again. The more corroded, the more times we repeat. Then we can use a battery powered impact to break them loose. We typically do not use heavy or air impacts on frame hitches.Tapping the head of the bolt with a mallet can also help to loosen the corrosion particularly if we have had a lubricant working on the threads for a while.

Could someone tell me what is the Bolt size for the TWO bolts that are under the Bumper that hold the Trailer Hitch ??? .. The nuts are welded in but my two bolts are missing.. I have the 2005 GMC Yukon SLT... Thanks
Product was really well built came in timely manor and was direct fit I’m extremely happy and satisfied
installation went just as the instructions stated. instructions should mention it may be necessary to remove corrosion from the two bumper weldnuts & not to tighten fasteners until all are connected.

very good
One year later and it still looks and functions as brand new, truck has 265,000 miles and tows cars and whatever else like a champ. Highly recommend Curt products especially ones purchased through etrailer!! Thanks again!!
The Curt Trailer hitch was easy to install in my 2003 Chevy Tahoe. We did encounter a little difficulty because my truck had been rear-ended in the past so the holes were a little out of alignment but after a few tries I was able to install it. The hitch can be installed with socket driver and torque wrench although an impact wrench makes the job a lot easier.
The order arrived the day they promised and the eTrailer.com customer service was exceptional. They sent regular updates on my order and created helpful links with instructions and video.
Product shipped on time and in perfect condition - just as described. High quality hitch, after being abused on Vermont roadways for a year it is strong and durable as ever, I tow a light trailer a few times a week with this hitch. Would highly recommend this hitch and etrailer.com
Did not fit. Only after I got it did I figure out that it was wrong for a small percentage of cars. I have to say that etrailers customer service is awesome. They called Curt then called a competitor to check fitment of there product to make sure it would work. Shipped out a replacement at no cost and took back the other hitch. I have used them in the past and will use them again. Great company that will stand behind there product!!!
The hitch fit like a charm. Took 23 minutes from the time I walked into the garage until I was finished and going back in the house. It even arrived quicker than the original estimate. Excellent customer service and a great product.

Thanks for the photo, i also have a step bumper and can not find a hitch receiver for it, well not till now!!! Thanks a lot!
Was very pleased to see the trailer hitch show up today, just like you told me. Took about 20 minutes to install ( mainly because I had to walk to and from my shop to get the right socket a couple of times) Fit like a "glove". I've been a fabricator (metal) and owned my own shop for thirty-some years, and was going to build one myself.I think the smartest decision I made was to purchase your hitch instead of doing it myself. Thanks for the all around great job!
I ordered the curt class 3 hitch and Hopkins 7 blade/4 flat wiring kit with bracket on a Thursday at 2:00 pm at etrailer's shop. Friday morning at 10 am I just got my old hitch off and the ups guy shows up with the parts...perfect timing! I had it on in 20 minutes it was so incredibly easy. A second person would have been helpful to support the weight of the hitch while you're bolting it up. I just used an old sprinkler valve box to set it on. Drilled 2 holes in the bumper for the bracket and ran the self tapping screws in then hooked my factory harness to the adapter and done! Love etrailer and their products and their service. Always helpful, friendly and there if you need them. I'll try to send pics of the install later.
Fast shipping, well packed, great price, excellent customer support and communication from trailer team.
This is my second trailer hitch from etrailer/Curt.
The fit and quality are top notch.
(TIP)
Take your time if aligning and installing the product by yourself. Lay out all parts and tools before starting.
Hitch is super solid and exact bolt pattern match for factory mounting holes. Hardware that came with appears to be all grade 8. Very easy install. Competitive pricing and extremely fast shipping along with customer service emailing after order and delivery to make sure everything was good. This is my second hitch purchase with etrailer and wouldn’t buy anywhere else.
The product is great, Looks great on the truck also. Very easy to bolt on. Although I had a little trouble with the mounting holes, had to modify one of them to get The bolt in without damaging the the threads. The free shipping was faster than I expected, great job.
The only thing I would say to do better etrailer is put a little more protection in the packaging. My powder coat was a little banged up from the shipping.
Excellent product. The first one saved my Tahoe from being totaled in a rear end collision. I purchased another one after fixing my truck and it works just as good as the first.
Excellent communication regarding the status of my order.
My hitch looks top notch and the coating is perfect!
Will buy from etrailer again!
It came very well packaged with excellent instructions, excellent fit and all installation hardware needed.
Super fast shipping.
Hitch could not have fit any more perfect.
Great price!!
Hitch did not align correctly. needed to make some adjustmenyts to allow bolts to work.

Your hitch sounds like it is flexed, which is a common issue among receivers made of mild steel. These are made to flex over potholes and curbs and sometimes flex during shipment. Here is a help article about how to fix the issue:
