Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Chevy Suburban and GMC Suburban (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 6,000 lbs. GTW and 600 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 10,000 lbs. WD and 1,000 lbs. WDTW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.
Trailer hitch weight ratings are limited to vehicle manufacturer's stated capacities
Not compatible for use with vertical hanging bicycles (bike racks that require the bicycles to be hung / mounted vertically)

Yes, the Curt 13017 is designed for 1973–1991 Chevrolet and GMC Suburban models. However, installation requirements vary by model year. Earlier models in this range require drilling of frame holes, while later models may use existing frame holes. Consult the installation steps to determine whether your specific year requires drilling.
No. The Curt 13017 is engineered specifically for 1973–1991 Chevrolet and GMC Suburban models only. Do not use on other model years or vehicle types.
The Curt 13017 has a gross load capacity of 10,000 lbs. trailer weight and 1,000 lbs. tongue weight when used as a weight distribution hitch. When used as a weight carrying hitch, the capacity is 6,000 lbs. trailer weight and 600 lbs. tongue weight. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower.
The kit includes 4 square hole spacers (CM-SP1, 0.250 × 1.50 × 2.00 inches), 4 Grade 8 serrated flange nuts (1/2–13 UNC, part 20-00062), and 4 Grade 8 carriage bolts (1/2–13 UNC, 1-3/4 inches long, part 10-10272). All fasteners are Grade 8 and zinc-plated.
Yes. The manual notes that the wiring harness may be located within the vehicle's frame. You must reposition the harness prior to drilling any holes necessary for installation. This prevents damage to electrical components during the drilling process.
No. Drilling is required only on earlier models within the 1973–1991 range. Later models in this range use existing frame holes. The manual does not specify the exact year cutoff. Position the receiver to line up with existing holes in the frame; if holes do not align, drilling will be necessary.
1. Position the receiver to line up with all existing holes in the frame. It may be necessary to deflect side brackets slightly to align all existing holes, particularly near the fuel tank. 2. Install all fasteners (bolts, spacers, and nuts) as shown in the diagram. 3. Torque all fasteners to 110 lb.-ft.
It may be necessary to deflect the side brackets slightly to line up all existing holes in the frame, particularly near the fuel tank. This is not always required; attempt to position the receiver first. If holes do not align, slight deflection of the brackets may be needed.
All fasteners must be torqued to 110 lb.-ft.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify a check interval; perform this inspection regularly, especially before towing.
No. Do not exceed the hitch's gross load capacity (10,000 lbs. trailer weight / 1,000 lbs. tongue weight for weight distribution use, or 6,000 lbs. / 600 lbs. for weight carrying use). Additionally, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower than the hitch rating.
