Yes, Curt part number 13422 is compatible with 2003–2006 Chevy Avalanche models, provided the vehicle does not have a canister on the passenger side frame rail.
This hitch cannot be installed on vehicles that have a canister-shaped component mounted on the passenger side frame rail, as it would interfere with the installation. Before purchasing, inspect your vehicle's passenger side frame rail to confirm no canister is present.
The kit includes: 2 square hole spacers (CM-SP1, 0.250 × 1.50 × 2.00 inches), 2 serrated flange nuts (1/2-13 UNC, Grade 8), 4 M14×2 hex head cap screws (40 mm, Class 10.9), 4 washers (9/16 inch, S-CON), and 2 carriage bolts (1/2-13 UNC, 1-3/4 inch, Grade 8). The existing M14 bumper bracket bolts on your vehicle are reused.
No. The manual states 'NO DRILLING REQ.' The hitch uses existing weldnuts on the frame and existing M14 bumper bracket bolt holes, so no drilling is required.
1. Remove the existing M14 bumper bracket bolts from the bottom surface of the frame on both sides and return them to the vehicle owner. 2. Raise the hitch into position and install the fasteners as shown in the diagram. 3. Torque all 1/2-inch fasteners to 110 lb.-ft. and all M14 fasteners to 126 lb.-ft. Fasteners are typical on both sides.
All 1/2-inch fasteners must be torqued to 110 lb.-ft.
All M14 fasteners must be torqued to 126 lb.-ft.

No. The manual explicitly states: 'DO NOT EXCEED VEHICLE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED TOWING CAPACITY.' Even if the hitch has a higher capacity rating, you must follow your vehicle manufacturer's limits.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify an exact interval, so inspect it before each towing trip and at regular maintenance intervals.
